PILOT: Base Command, this is AirBat 289—we’re currently passing the West Sector of Kurtow, directly over the Yakaros subdistrict. Something just hit us.

BASE COMMAND: Have you run a system diagnostic?

A warrior must always be wary of his or her surroundings………………….
Any other setting, that would be something settling. Here and now… trouble!
I’m trying to figure out if she’s already climbed all the way up to the aircraft, or if she’s checking out some installation at the base. That doesn’t look like an aircraft interior to me, although the opening in the first panel sort of looks like the one in the side of the aircraft on the previous page.
After taking a second look at the previous page I see the aircraft was completely split in half, so the opening in the first panel here is not the same place. She must be poking around somewhere else.
