Rising Flags

[1]

[Yuuya and the Argos flight have been scarce for UG group functions outside their required duties and today is the day it's revealed why as they announce the Blue Flag excercises out of the Yukon base. Several flights have made their presence known from around the world including the Bao Feng flight from China and the Infinities from the United States. As the festivities begin to kick off the units are on display parked in formation and the flights are welcoming guests and providing photo ops, including a rather tired looking Yuuya who seems on edge.]

[The mock battles aren't the only reason for so much excitement at the Yukon base either. There's a big ceremony going on concerning a new "fast-response" brand of machine finally getting the clear for combat usage too. Although not taking part in the mock battles, exhibitions to display the machines' capabilities are scheduled. Before long those displays begin, the "Breaker" models taking to the sky to show off their maneuverability and speed... announces and various individuals involved with the program talking abut the breakthrough "RE Drive", a scientific marvel discovered by someone outside of the ESUN who nevertheless provided them with the details of creating them. But duing one display, several Breakers engaging in complicated maneuvers with each other, someone speaks up nearby you.]



You know what's funny? Up until about two weeks ago they were still trying to fix the defects in their fancy systems. I'm willing to bet any of the project heads are still sweating bullets and praying that there aren't any more gremlins biding their time.

[And the Mock Battles begin! Knowing that the Unity Group has been working with TSF test flights for several operations and that they may want to participate as well there are training weapons available in a wide range of forms and functions. For those with mecha less capable of using the pain equipment there are also several production units capable of using them available for use by anyone with proper piloting credentials.]

Ugh... it better be minor. I've had enough disasters lately.

[Peola sighs roughly.]

You sound like you know a lot about these things.

Part of the development team. Had my fair share of crashes with them.

[And it's then that she holds up her right hand, removing a glove. It's cybernetic.]

Lost this in one of them a long while back. Still not cleared to pilot again, but I was still brought along. The development team at least tries to take care of its own. What's left of them anyways.

[She winces at the sight of the arm, yeah that was kind of shocking to say the least.]

Ah...

[This got awkward fast, Peola wasn't sure what to say here.]

...Does it still hurt?

[personal profile] whats_a_good_end 2014-09-19 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
... In some ways, yeah. But it's what I signed up for. It's what everyone signed up for, knowing the dangers.

[And then she looks up as one of the Breakers soars overhead.]

And it was definitely well worth the effort. I mean, just look at them.

[Peola nods at this. The Test Pilot wasn't a soldier per se but she was still damn brave for helping pave the way for the ones that would be fighting with the Breakers, that definitely merited respect.]

There's something about watching your hard work pay off isn't there?
whats_a_good_end: (Optimistic)

[personal profile] whats_a_good_end 2014-09-19 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely!

Especially when the trip here is all-expenses paid and don't even need to really do much of anything. It's a chance to just sit back and take it easy!
