The rookie stayed with him; not bad at all. A quick mental command, and a dizzying series of light-gates blinked into being ahead of them. "Follow the leader. Don't let me lose you."

They entered the first gate and then Michael pushed into a dizzying spiral dive, weaving his way through the gates as only a VF could. He fully expected the rookie to miss some, but that was why he was a newbie. Nobody could control a VF like this on their first try.
