1:03:09 York starts with an earthquake? Bird, snakes and airplanes. Is the airplane going on? Is there any freaky stuff going on with birds or snakes? Probably. I don't think any of this should be in the episode, by the way. This is outtakes. This is extra. I don't really know how to end this. Did you want to end with we didn't start the fire?
01:35 Flying through the cloud cover, the Shrike team mobile suits hanging on to act as ersatz engines. The two transport planes carry the league militaire group south and west. They will not be able to go straight to Ireland as was originally planned, but even getting to arty Gibraltar will be difficult. The lead ship detects two Bespa scouts incoming, triggering what seems like a well practiced routine. The Shrike team mobile suits hide themselves inside the two transports, and USO puts the transports between himself and the scouts, flying just out of view and shielded by the clouds. When the Bespa pilots question why the transports arent on the commercial route and why theyre flying in a group of two instead of the usual three, USO emerges from the clouds to shoot around the group, and Gomez feigns terror at this league militaire attack on neutral transport ships. The transports are able to continue on their way while USO takes on the two scouts, evading them handily and returning fire until they run out of ammo and are forced to retreat afterwards, it is an easy journey to the rendezvous point. USO eats and naps in the cockpit.
44:59 Well, but who did start the fire? It wasn't us. One more note. I consulted with my cars expert about the motorcycles briefly ridden by the Bespa military police. And with his expertise, we were able to conclude that these appear to be very similar to the kinds of motorcycles that were being ridden by military police, gendarmes, Gaudier Seville and Carbonieri in like, the fifties and the sixties. And they come from a couple of different brands, but they all sort of follow this same, like, body plan for a motorcycle. So that's neat. And I bring this up because I know I'm being a little bit silly here, but this episode has both a moped or e bike determination of whether or not those are the same thing pending. And these motorcycles, when we know canonically, it was Dukkur ick who revived the tradition of biking from the Middle Ages. So did he, like, did he completely change Zanskar society by reviving motorcycles? Did he discover them in an archive somewhere? Or did he recreate the motorcycle from first principles? Did he dig up ancient riding manuals and distribute them? Is he a motorcycling influencer or is.
