Ebbirnoth: Sergeant, be careful on the way down. You've changed velocity relative to the deck.

Schlock: I can see that. I tried to flap my way back to you but you got away, and now I'm gaining altitude.

Ebbirnoth: Yeah. We're close to the center so the deck is "only" moving at about twenty meters per second. Still enough for some funny winds.

Ebbirnoth: That mooring tower's pretty tall. It was maybe doing fifteen when it hit you.

Schlock: Fifteen. Right. Got it. Got a piece of it stuck right here, even.
