Having already moved away, Aryo missed the short confrontation between the ISS commander and his own and remained entirely unaware that the two were brother and sister. Instead, he was in the middle of settling into his own MAS cockpit when the klaxon sounded. The sniper rarely went into the Artemis' hangar without already wearing his flight armor, so all he needed to do was slip his helmet on before closing up the cockpit. The Archer fit the profile of a sniper beautifully, it's 60mm cannon sliding easily into place on his back as he did a cold start up.

Shortly after, Ingram's voice came over the comms, asking for a check in before they took off to relieve Sara' squad. After a moment's delay, the Ace's own mic connected with with the comms system and he spoke. "This is Irish, checking in. All systems are green." He then made sure that his rifle was secure in it's case behind the pilot's seat and then that his revolver wasn't going to fly out of it's holster on his upper thigh. Most of the 12th swore up and down that double, triple, and quadruple checking that his weapons were secure was overkill, but it was better, in the sniper's mind, to make sure he wasn't going to be killed by his own weapons during combat than to leave it to chance.

After a moment, and everyone else's check in, Aryo spoke up again. "Any word on the progress of the peace talks? I'm used to staying in one place for long periods of time, but his is starting to get absurd."
