"How annoying!"

"It's been sooooo long..."

"You said we were already late, didn't you? Then look around! Why haven't you managed to contact those people yet?!"

Annie sat in the captain's seat, angrily scolding the crew of the Blue Pegasus.
She was extremely unhappy that, even though they'd already reached their destination, these idiots still couldn't get in touch with Erza and the other ground team members. As a result, the aerial magic bombardment ship, the Christina, couldn't locate the enemy or bombard any viable targets on the ground!
