Shadows of JiangXi

Vicenta leaned against the jeep, her arms crossed impatiently as she talked over the sound of someone being violently ill in the bushes. "Oh, suck it up, you big baby," she said in exasperation. "It was just a plunge into a ravine where we bounced off a gunboat. It only felt rough because the shock absorbers were broken." She checked them. "Oh wait, no they're not."

There was a weak groan from the bushes.

"We didn't even spend that long in the air that time, you know. Frankly I don't see what your problem is. If you can't handle a little reckless driving you shouldn't be in the military. Psh, one time I jumped an open drawbridge with a missing tyre, spun out into an oil slick and blew up a fuel truck."

Another groan.

"And you didn't see me complaining, or throwing up into the bushes, or going into the fetal position, or being sent to a mental ward for three weeks to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder." Something caught her eye. "Huh... Hey, that's kinda funny. Did you know our airbags have been inoperative this whole time?"

The gunner burst into tears.
