It was an undoubtedly crazy statement, and Jax hadn't been the only one to react like that.
Even the faraway spectators, both those watching legally and those who most certainly weren't, practically spat out their respective drinks when they heard what Luca had just said!
Take one Duke Leander, whose epitaph might as well have something to do with choking at this point.
Of all the things he expected his precious son to say in the middle of an ongoing aerial battle between manual mechas, announcing that he was about to jump out certainly hadn't been one of them!
Because even if Leander put himself in the shoes of those Battalion 10 cadets currently struggling against their opponents, he couldn't imagine considering such a strategy unless he happened to be evacuating an exploding vessel.
Jump to where?!
More importantly, to do what?!
But yes.
