Crunch Time

Those heading to the sensorium after Commander Rahk's announcement would find themselves inside a rather technologically advanced looking base, a number of armored soldiers bustling about.

Rahk himself was there, standing in front of a command station with a large screen overlooking the waiting battlefield outside, which appeared to be the ruins of some advanced city. By the serious look on his face, he was certainly ready to get this test underway.

Re: Command Center

It was a weird moral dilemma. Dick knew himself. Knew that he couldn't be one of the ones out there taking lives. One day, he was probably going to have to, in order to save his team or the crew. But this was a simulation and, for the moment, he was of more use in the command center. He was a tactician, one of the best in his world. And that was what they needed right now.

"X-Wings off the ground," he reported, toggling to a skyview. Easier to get the lay of the land, literally. He wanted a better idea of where the Ohm were.

Leon looked around at the myriad of screens displaying a wealth of information. Thankfully, he would have people to parse the bulk of that for him, so he'd get what he'd need to know, and not drown in irrelevant data.

Admittedly, a large part of him felt like he should be out on the front lines with his crew, but that wasn't his place for this.

"How much time until the enemy is in combat range?"

One of the simulated intelligence officers at a nearby command station replied to Leon.

"30 seconds and counting, sir."

Nathan had his hands together behind him as he observed, taking note of the information. He envied the X Wing crew a little, briefly remembering his times in aerial combat.

"Do we have a rough estimate of their numbers yet? Ground vs. air?"

"On screen, sir."

A map of the city appeared on the main screen, showing the advancing Ohm as one single mass than anything that could accurately be counted. It did, however, show the density of Ohm on the ground. There were also hundreds of small, swiftly moving triangular markers, noting the positions of Ohm air units overhead.

It was obvious, however, that the buildings were starting to create a chokepoint, slowing the advancing Ohm. However, unless the crew distracts the Shrikes who were trying to clear the way, it wouldn't hold them back for long.

Leon did not like the look of that.

"Have Rogue Squadron start clearing out the airspace from here to here," he indicated on the map, pointing out the skies over and around the initial point of defense. From what he remembered, the mobile suits lost a significant amount of maneuverability when in the atmosphere, but they still brought in a whole lot of firepower. "Have Blade Squadron standby, I want them ready to advance and bombard," and create a little havoc in the Ohm's territory, once the skies were a little clearer.

Dick nodded, relaying the information. He was good at keeping calm under pressure and he had a lot of practice with not letting things like worry show in his voice.

"Looks like we have Zords in the air, too." Hey, the more firepower they had, the better. "Ground forces are spreading out." Which meant that they were catching those that weren't in the choke point, too. Good.
