Do you have what it takes? [OPEN]
PT finished at 0700, and the pilots and new recruits got a half hour to cool off before they got into the cockpits of their assorted craft. In the two hours since 0500 they ran several miles, did push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups, and then a hundred jumping jacks to get the blood pumping. "You don't even want to think about how much force you put on your body when you're piloting," Trudy said at the start of the exercises. "Pilots need to be in peak condition to handle it."
Those who were used to doing the training five days out of the week would be out of breath but not exhausted. Anyone new, however, might have a little trouble getting their wind back.
"All right everyone, gather around. We have a few new recruits today, so we're not going to be running the Zokez scenario. I know you're all heartbroken." She kept a straight face, but that was a definite joke. She was sick of running the Zokez scenario. "We'll be doing some standard training exercises - maneuverability and gunning practice."
The track and exercise equipment melted away, and in its place the hangar of the Macross Quarter materialized with all its fighters and mobile suits. "Outside is a standard sim course. I'm going to have the recruits run it first to see how they handle and then the squadrons will go out as a unit. Recruits, let's put you in birds."
((OOC: This log is for anyone who signed up to fly a mobile suit, a VF or an X-wing and is not already in Starfighter Command. The flight sim is like something you'd see out of the training missions on Star Fox - fly through the rings, shoot the enemies, avoid the obstacles it throws at you like sheets of scrap and asteroids. EDIT: Subthreads for the squadrons are now up!))

ROGUE SQUADRON
She knew she was kind of throwing them to the wolves, so to speak, but they were all experienced pilots. They'd figure it out. The scenario was similar to the one she had given Allenby - a field of asteroids and space junk hovered around the Quarter, and there were enemy ships closing in.
Re: ROGUE SQUADRON
Normally Danny would be a bit friendlier, but he hadn't been having a good time since Dani was repodded.
"Incoming at 3 and 12."
Re: ROGUE SQUADRON
A moment later, Asuka's X-Wing shoots past Danny and settles into a lead position.
"Eight, stay with me!"
Re: ROGUE SQUADRON
No sooner did he say that, than his Wraith faded from the radars.
"Don' worry none, I got you covered."
