★ first. (video)
( It could be worse. That's how she reassures herself, turning the device over for a final time for snapping it on, eyeing it with a seriousness that, if you know her outside her rank as officer, might be a little surprising. She doesn't speak right away, but the hand that isn't holding the device flexes, desperate to fiddle with her dog tags and relieve some of the lurking anxieties.
When she speaks, it's clear spoken, and surprisingly polished. Very English, really, which might not be especially unusual here, but is a little odd almost anywhere but the capital, back home. )
This is Starling. Repeat: this is Starling, Kapetan Grumley of the Asgardreid igsb-3. Any members of the Midgard Corps should report to me immediately.
( Carefully enunciated, and bluntly delivered, and that's all she'll release, for now, giving the device another look and her mouth quirking a little before she snaps it off. There's more information to be picked off other posts to this device without exposing her confusion, because seriously. Seriously, you guys. )

audio ;
( She's the muscle, he's the brains, or that's how she tends to break it up. )
Of all the things to be amazed by, considering that we're both... here, talking about things going on back on Earth probably shouldn't be that amazing, but-- ( Well, she's a little mindblown.
Oh, but her ship! She can talk about her ship. ) Asgardreid interGalactic Space Battalion-3. It's amazing - one of the only ships that has lots of different galactics serving on it, instead of just humans or any one group.
audio ;
Your brother. Was he in the military as well? [ From the sound of it no, but he'd ask anyway.
The mention of the ship catches him, interested. ] Galactics. You mean extraterrestrials?
audio ; apoliogies again, it's final assignment time at my uni :'|
( But, hmm, she mulls over the idea. )
Possibly. There have been huge leaps and bounds, especially with contact with different galactics and so on, but... you still have human limitations.
( Which is an odd comment, perhaps, but she means it less in terms of technology. ) In the sense of how people think, I mean. Technology can change and progress but at the same times things don't necessarily progress as fast as you think they might. If that makes sense?
( She wonders, sometimes, just how good at expressing herself she is when it isn't down to orders and drills. )
Freddie's a doctor. He's a military doctor, that's what he signed up for - life-saving surgeries and all that. ( She's very proud of him. Perhaps it shows in her voice. ) I'm more run of the mill.
audio ; no worries at all! XD I'm a super slowpoke, so I don't mind at all :3
'Limitations'? Please clarify. [ He's aware of several things that could be called limitations in the sense of human form, but not so much on the intellectual front, not being aware of other species. ]
Ah. You must be very proud. Doctors would be very helpful in this situation, yet you wouldn't want a family member trapped the same as you. [ He's practical about it, but Jarvis has been programmed to recognize human sentiment, so he can appreciate that. ]
