“Raiden, context cues can help you when you mishear something. A terminal is not also called a nerd. What you thought you heard makes no fucking sense. Just go with ‘terminal’ the part you heard and say ‘yeah, sure’ or something and piece it together after talking. Also the codec directly stimulates the small bones in your ear, mishearing something should be borderline impossible. If you want clarification you can come off much cooler by repeating a key word like in this case ‘terminal?’ Or ‘a terminal huh?’ That way when youre half paying attention you can get the info repeated and still seem like you’ve got some chops.”
