Note: Those with the Bird of Prey "holodome" (like one of
those snowmen in a crystal ball which snows when you shake
it) got this written down as the translation for the sound

It's rather close to the original, which tends to sound
somewhat disjointed. They are in battle. The engine is
overheating. Soldiers want orders. The captain threatens
the enemy...
