The Hues

[The pilot gets a look at her surroundings. She's touched down in a gravel street of drab warehouses and office buildings, some of which are merely skeletons of beams and charred ashes.]

Pilot: Shit...

[She turns abruptly, her right hand raised as she looks over her shoulder at the sudden sound of Lauren's voice.]

Lauren: (off-panel) Yeah, it's pretty fucked up.

[Lauren stands at the end of the gravel road, the line of trees at her back. The pilot is turning toward her in the foreground.]

Pilot: Oh my god, you're... there are still civilians down here?!
Lauren: Not so much in this area. But there're pockets here and there.

[The pilot extends her hand toward Lauren.]

Pilot: Saki Takahara. Airman, first class.

[Lauren leans forward to shake Saki's hand.]

Lauren: Lauren Zielinski, uh, civilian person-thing. At ease.
