02 - Audio - Backdated to around 11PM, July 4th
[The audio feed goes for a moment before Anatoly says anything. He's not exactly snappy when he speaks, but his voice is clearly struggling to find an even keel, which is accented by a sharp intake of breath as, somewhere, an extremely loud firework goes off.]
Is. [He clears his throat and tries again.] Is this sort of thing a standard practice for holiday celebrations, here? I do not mean to sound self-centered, but it is late enough at night I do need to sleep and, perhaps a bit more importantly, these 'fireworks' sound remarkably similar to more than one battlefield I have served on. If this is something recurring, I would appreciate some sort of warning for future reference.
Also, if anyone would like to explain how colored sparks of fire relate to freedom, that sounds like a story worth hearing, as at the moment this is a touch nonsensical as far as holiday traditions go.
