AINO
It had been a while since Aino did this kind of thing regularly. She told herself that it was just a lack of practice, and accepted the corrections from Deimos with stoic tolerance that probably meant she was cursing on the inside.
When she redid the work, she made her best to relax a little more. Not to the point of becoming sloppy, mind, but perhaps she did not need to treat the artillery piece like it might explode in her face if touched in the wrong spot. She moved the ropes as indicated, re-attached some bolts and muttered a prayer to whatever gods that were apparently listening in that she wouldn't fuck this up again.
Aino tries again, trying to be less tense about the whole thing this time.

Come and conquer, drop your bombs
Cross my borders and kill the calm
Cross my borders and kill the calm
