Jericho sat in the other bird from the instructor, relaxing and enjoying the relative quiet with the exception of the engines running as the airships turned submarines returned to Balamb Garden. The his comlink went off and upon answering it, got an ear full of James' angry voice. {You stupid fuck! They're turning those gunships on Dollet! What in the hell did you do up there?!} He went on and on for several minutes before Jericho attempted to get a word in edge wise, his voice sharp and taking on a coldness he usually reserved for people who just really pissed him off. Of course, pissed him off is exactly what James had just done.

{Shut up a moment and listen to me then. We got there, one of the examinee's had already made a mess of the Galbadian forces guarding the tower. She went up first. I arrived behind another examinee who had encased the first in some kind of crystal, and ha-} James then started cussing Jericho out for saying that some examinee had performed high level paramagic, only increasing Jericho's annoyance. {SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU BIGOTED TWIT! I don't know what happened exactly, this is an educated guess. I got there and attacked the Galbadians, killing one before their Lieutenant attempted to use the instructor as leverage to get us to leave. It backfired and turned into another blood bath. By the time it was all said and done, I'd exchanged a few blows with the lieutenant and then the gunships showed up.

We ran, and as we ran, I deep froze the circuitry for the tower making sure that whatever the Galbadians have planned won't work. Now that I've said that, I've decided to inform you before I do it that I'm requesting a transfer to a new squad when we get back to the Garden. Now leave me the hell alone!} Shutting the comlink off, Jericho looks up and realizes that all the examinees are looking at him. "What?"
