Hey, he didn't actually do it, she can't yell at him for it.
He doesn't like hearing her voice be so emotionless; Herc has grown really used to Gipsy having all the range of inflection of a human being. In fact, sometimes it's hard for him to remember that in reality she's a giant robot first, and her sweetly naive avatar second.
"Ready," he says out loud for the control room, and the switch is flipped that loosens Gipsy from her moorings.
Ready darling? he asks Gipsy, giving her a reassuring smile.
There's a flash of something in Japanese in the back of his mind, there and gone too quickly for him to process it. His Japanese is rudimentary at best, despite all his efforts — old dogs and new tricks and all that — and so even if he had time to study it, he probably wouldn't have gotten very far with it. Oh well. He can only hope it was Mako being excited about their new adventure.
