The sound of the vessel shuddering as its shields go offline and it’s caught in some kind of aftershock is picked up by the recording, followed by a deep sigh
“[Censored] me, that’s the last save we give to the Duchess- I can’t be cutting it this close again…everybody hear me?!”
A small chorus of ‘Aye Captain Ivanov’ snakes its way through the Bridge and is picked up on the recording
“Lieutenant Izly speaking on behalf of the Birk- Systems Yellow here, everyone still clear?”
Another sigh…
“Hey, Tiger-[censored], keep your [censored] mouth shut on comms unless we tell you to ask the rest of them something. All talk stays ON this bridge, we clear?”
“…Aye Captain Ivanov”
“Good…let’s hang around for a bit longer and then we’ll-”
Another muted explosion is picked up, a bit of people being tossed about is also heard

The sound of someone seething can be heard, before some kind of object is heard being shot-put across the Bridge
“God-DAMNIT- STATUS TIGER-SPOTS, NOW!”
A pause…
“Systems Red, Captain Ivanov- recommended we send a repair team to the Valkrie and finish off the other Dreadnaught.”
"NO, [censored] THE REPAIR TEAM AND [censored] THAT NANTITE-SWALLOWING [censored]! KILL THAT [censored] SHIP AND GET US THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
Dead silence after…a few boops and beeps here and there

A massive ‘FWOOSH’ from an attack dished out from the vessel, an alert signal after
WARNING, MASSIVE POWER DRAIN DETECTED
“…What- WHAT?! [censored] sakes- somebody get that [censored] tiger-spotted [censored] off of my bridge and get her in the [censored] brig where she belongs! She’s not going back to her little Mistress!”
Another pause…the sound of somebody shifting out of their seat and the unholstering of a few items from different times is heard
“Captain Ivanov…we have the Admiral herself here aiding us among many others- if you try to retreat now like you did before at the invasion of-”
“SHUT. YOUR. [censored]. MOUTH; YOU TIGER-SPOTTED [censored]. YOU’VE ALMOST GOTTEN US KILLED ONCE, I’M NOT LETTING IT HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW WILL ONE OF YOU [censored] KILL OR MUZZLE HER ALREADY BEFORE I DO IT MYSELF.”
…More beeps and boops…

“…Cheetah, Captain Ivanov”
“…What?”
“You keep calling me a tiger-spotted…well, tiger; it’s a cheetah that has spots”
…Heavy footfalls follow, along with a few very familiar sounds of flesh hitting flesh- followed by one swift sound of something puncturing a person. A gasp follows…
A thud after, along with pained gasping and a few Cyrillic swears

Another ‘FWOOSH’ is picked up after, along with another alert
