Jagged Fel: *********** START SIM ************
DESCRIPTION: -------- Flight Deck of the SSD Raptor's Talon - the T/Is of the 181st are preped for a mission - Col Fel sits on the edge of his fighter's cockpit - he looks over the den of activity in the hanger-------
Siee Janson/Synn: -=looks over the other pilot's head in Fel's direction=-
Jagged Fel: -= jumps down off his fighter and sulenly walks by the other fighters =-
Siee Janson/Synn: -=escuses self from the other pilots and goes to Fel=- Colonel, a moment of your time
Jagged Fel: -= he checks each of them, inspecting them as he has on numerous missions before =-
Jagged Fel: -= looks =- Can I help you Flight Officer?
Siee Janson/Synn: Sir, I've been looking over the records from the last mission... and I came across something I think you should look at.
Jagged Fel: -= rubs at his goatee and sighs =- What?
Siee Janson/Synn: How was it that only you and I survived that last encounter... I believe Sarn sent us out to kil the other pilots.
Lt. Jasik: ::she's working on her fighter::
Jagged Fel: -= shocked look then stiffels it =- You had better have a good explination for that comment!
Siee Janson/Synn: We're in a squad of rookies. He KNEW we would be going against the Rogues. well, ex Rogues... and the other squads on the ship are more experianced...
Jagged Fel: -= grimaces =- WE are the 181st, we can handel a few Rogues...i dont see where this is important
Siee Janson/Synn: I think he's expecting you, me and Lt. Jasik to weed them out of the squad
Lt. Jasik: ::silently works on her fighter and listens to them::
Siee Janson/Synn: We ARE the 181st... but we weren't up to par. Have you seen the flight scores of some of the squad? and our new recruits... do you see where they are coming from? Their scores are only HALF of what a 181st member normally hits
Jagged Fel: -= continues to walk around the Lt's fighter and inspects the pylons =-
Lt. Jasik: ::nods:: Sir ::goes back to her work::
Jagged Fel: -= to Jasik =- Tighten those vapor conduits!
Lt. Jasik: Yes sir, I was just getting to that
Jagged Fel: -= looks back at the flight officer =- Your point please!
Lt. Jasik: ::move to conduits and start to tighten them up::
Siee Janson/Synn: Sir, I just think you should look into the welfare of your squadron... and find out what Sarn is really planning for us.
Jagged Fel: -= sighs =- Look, i can appreciate your egarness to prove your value to me. But Sarn is the head of whats left of the Empire....i can not question his motives -= thinks...... at least not in public =-
Siee Janson/Synn: Sir, I am not here to prove my value. My flying does that. My duty is to my squad. And I don't want to see good pilots die because a man wishes to make a empire for himself in the Empire we wish to restablish
Jagged Fel: -= leans heavily against the port pylon =- -= thinks. this super weapon will get out of hand, i can see it =-
Lt. Jasik: ::turns and tightens the other set of conduits::
Siee Janson/Synn: -=looks back at the otehr pilots=- I'll go back to my ship and prep it, Sir
Jagged Fel: -= thinks..... Only a coward hides behind a weapon of mass destruction =- -= sighs =- Good..and be prepared...We have 9 new pilots to keep an eye on
Siee Janson/Synn: Yes Sir... and Sir, if I could make a suggestion, though I know my rank makes me not one to offer my advice to higher ranks.
Lt. Jasik: ::she finishes and slides down::
Jagged Fel: -= nods =- What is your suggestion?
Siee Janson/Synn: There are always extreames to every situation. I believe that we are at the extreame of one end. And though the other extreame is something we don't wish to touch, there is probably a midline that we could tread upon. -=raises hand into a salute, touching the brim of her cap=-
Jagged Fel: -= salutes back =- I will take it under advisement -= checks his chrono =- Ok pilots!!! To your fighters!!!
Lt. Jasik: ::walks around and stands next to Fel, looking at her as she walks away:: What was that all about?
Siee Janson/Synn: -=snaps hand down. Turns to walk away, flicking hand unknowing at Fel=- -=a tiny bug mic recorder lands on Fel's flightsuit=-
Jagged Fel: -= looks at Jasik =- Im not sure.... but i have an idea
Lt. Jasik: I see. Well lets go ::she turns and climbs aboard, her fighter::
Siee Janson/Synn: -=runs to ship and leaps inside=-
Jagged Fel: -= walks to his fighter, he climbs the ball shaped cockpit and slides into the command seat =-
Lt. Jasik: ::she puts on her hemlet and air system:: ::turning on Com she waits::
Jagged Fel: -= puts on his gloves and helmet/air pack =- -= fires up the ion engines and turns on his ship com and his private com =-
Siee Janson/Synn: -=turns on ship, also sticks intel reciever headset into left ear=-
Lt. Jasik: ::fires up the engines and switches to PRivate Com::
Jagged Fel: -= he calls into the bridge and gets clearance for take off =- -= squad com =- C> ok 181st...lets get going!
