GUSH—...


<72>
GUSH—

VOOSH—
GUSH—

=Huh!?
=What's wrong!?

=Control tower! Control tower! This is SAS flight 201!! The landing gear isn't deploying. There must be a problem with the starting mechanism!! We're going to taxi. Over!!

<73>
GUSH—...

=Wh-What's going on!? Why haven't we landed!?
=We've just been going in circles!
=An accident. It must be an accident!!

=Please, return to your seats there's nothing wrong with the aircraft.
=That's what they always say!!

=I know because I've been in an accident like this!!

=The flight attendant from the accident said the same thing.
=I don't believe she lived to tell the tale, though.
[x2]rabble rabble


<74>
=Everybody, please remain calm. We will be landing shortly.

=Please, remain quiet!!
=Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts.

=We will be landing shortly, but we may experience some slight turbluence to test the starting mechanism. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

=Keep turning the aircraft until the gear lamp lights back up.
=It's crude, but it's bound to work.
=If that's no good, then...

=Time for a belly landing...


<75>
=You...
=Huh?

=You seem like you think this is a joke... This plane might go down in flames, you know...

=I was just thinking... The same thing about you...

=I don't care whether I live or die...
=That's a lie...

=Huh!?


<76>
=The idea of taking your own life and hoping for a better afterlife... Is merely a counter-reaction to the idea that life offers the possibility of happiness...

=...And therefore gives one the desire to live... You are not as indifferent as you are trying to be...

=Passengers, I'm terribly sorry.
=We've just found out there is a malfunction with the landing gear.

=We will now be attempting... a bell landing.

=What!?
=A belly landing!!
=Ohh!

=Please!! There is no real danger... Please follow our instructions and make sure to fasten your seatbelt. And anybody with pins or pens should remove them and stow them away safely. Once your area is clear of any dangerous objects, please await the landing in a relaxed position.
