BETA Testing
[1]
[The monitors across the UG bases kick to life with live footage from what appears to be one of the smaller briefing rooms in Alhambra base revealing a 4-person team of varying Nationalities all wearing the same grey and black uniform. The first voice heard is a cheerful one from behind the camera.]
All right that's got it, we're live so get to it guys.
[The Asian-American is the first to speak]
2nd-Leiutenant Yuuya Bridges, Argos test flight, reporting to UG group as ordered.
[The same voice from behind the camera speaks again]
Really Yuuya? That's all you're going to say, at least give them a bit better of an introduction.

Just leave him Vincent, if he's going to be grumpy because of his argument with Lieutenant Takamura then that just gives us more time for introductions. 2nd Lieutenant Tarisa Manandal of the same. I hope to get along well with everyone.
[As Yuuya flushes and begins to turn to speak again when he is cut off by the other male member of his flight]

[He drops his hand's on Tarisa's shoulders and gives her a playful shake as he speaks]
Don't make fun of our lead's delicate sensibilities there chobi, you weren't much better when you started with us either. [Turning to the camera he continues] I'm Valerio Giacosa, VG for short and I'm Argos 3. I hope to get along well with everyone but especially the lovely ladies of this new group to whom I think it would be incredibly unfair to deny the joy of my company...

Put a sock in it Macaroni! We haven't even been here for 3 hours yet and you're already trying to pick up every woman on base! Well I guess we can't expect anything more from a greasy playboy like yourself but please don't try to hijack the introductions!

Speaking of introductions.

Ah, and Venus graces us with her most beauteous voice

[Ignoring the jibe the blonde woman continues]
I'm 2nd Lieutenant Stella Bremer. I'm Argos 4 and I do hope you'll forgive the rather rambunctious nature of my comrades. They're animated but honestly quite harmless.
[As Stella smiles serenely Yuuya sighs and shakes his head before speaking.]

And this is exactly why I was against this idea Vincent. I'm sure Princess Yui is going to *LOVE* what this turned into when she sees it.
[With that the camera begins to pan a little unusually as it approaches Yuuya and then sweeps right to Tarisa and VG arguing while Stella stands to the side her hand covering a grin as she watches her team-mates bicker before cutting off.]
(Argos Flight can be reached by comm or will be around Alhambra to be tagged)

[As you walk through the hangers you hear an angry shout. As you turn to look you see a young Japanese woman walking away with a clipboard and Yuuya in his piloting suit looking particularly upset. As the woman exits the hanger Yuuya rounds on the machine he's standing next to and throws his fist into it with enough force for the impact to resound. From his lack of reaction you can assume it is at least somewhat hardened to impact though he looks up at your approach and speaks in a seething tone.]
Did you need something or are you just here to criticize my performance like Lt. Takamura?

That's the kind of life we live.

If you've never seen a TSF before I'm certain that you've never met an Eishi before either. [Noting a look of confusion he continues] It's a Japanese term but it's taken to more common use when a TSF pilot needs to differentiate himself from another type of pilot.
Anyways the earliest battles against the BETA were terrible, casualties were huge and personnel died by the thousands, especially among pilots of planes and the lion series pilots who took to the front lines. Even now with all we've learned and adapted the average lifespan of a TSF pilot in his first encounter is 8 minutes, we call it the "eight minutes of death" and the only reason any of us make it past that is because of our wing-mates.
You need to keep sharp but always remember that there's a reason we're all here, I may have just met the rest of Argos flight but if I didn't trust them to watch my back then I wouldn't make it anywhere.

[It was terrible. But something Yuuya said sounded really familiar, and not in a bad way.]
No, you are right. The team is important - I didn't join Glory Stars that long ago either. But if it wasn't for their help and assistance, I would not be standing here now.
no subject
Good, I'm glad you've got someone to watch your back like that, just don't forget to pay it forward when the time comes and never waste what they give you.
[The smile dims slightly as Yuuya seems to fall to old memories.]
