Standard Ambient Noise

Date/Timing: 3rd quarter, 2016
"Gentlemen," greets Marshal Xiong. "Have a seat."
Logan and Jack sit.
Xiong pulls around a chair. "If Hong Kong Disney is six kilometres away across open water, how loud is the Shatterdome, coupled with the standard ambient noise?"
"Very loud," replies Logan.
"Very loud," nods Xiong. "To that, add an outspoken monk, trained in British English, who swears like an exceptionally aggressive Australian. How loud would a Shatterdome be?"
"Even louder," answers Jack.
"Even louder," agrees Xiong. "I don't know which one of you taught him that—don't give me that, I know it was one of you—and I don't care."
Jack and Logan raise their guard.
"I really don't," Xiong says. "It simply tells me you've a gift for languages, so—" She lifts a thick book from behind her desk. "—you'll be reading Fei Yen her morning story this week." Gives it to Logan. 「In Cantonese.」
