Blast it all, these bastards!

[there's a crackle of static, a thump and a curse. alarms are going off everywhere, and the sphere's apparently spinning before it abruptly stills on an unfamiliar face. a fellow who, it seems, is shoving something into the back of his neck. DIVA's strangely soothing voice says something about a manual navigation

[Even as a newbie, of course she's in.]

Lightning Farron, Uesugi Combat Division. My specialization may not be piloting but I do have a familiarity with similar machines from back home.

[kerhah]

Ah good, someone I don't have to look up.

Think you can get to the Hawking and handle some weapons for a navigator?

[big_sis_lcie]

Already en route, sir. [May as well get back into the military swing of things. Behind her the hallway can be seen zooming by on the projection.] I can be there within five minutes... assuming this map is accurate.

[kerhah]

Excellent. The map should be correct, despite their attack on certain systems.

There should be a fellow with an empty seat left in one of these machines, he'll be your navigator.

[big_sis_lcie]

Understood. I'm transporting the the Hawking now.

[kerhah]

Let me know once you reach the hangar.

[big_sis_lcie]

[A few moments of silence pass before she transmits again, well within her five minute estimate.]

I'm there.

[Fair warning. If she gets a flight suit, she's not taking the pink one.]

[kerhah]

[But pink would be lovely and compliment her hair...]

Ah, how timely. Very well then, you're looking for a fellow in a machine carrying a long sword.

[big_sis_lcie]

[That is beside the point. Unless Hawking is the type of ship where female flight suits only come in pink.]

I see the one. What are our current orders?

[kerhah]

[What if Jaden just says they do?]

You're to eliminate all enemy units, as their goal is to do the same to us.

[big_sis_lcie]

[Then Lightning will be so very annoyed when she finds out otherwise but for now will wear the damn pink flightsuit.]

Straight forward enough. What exactly are we up against?

[kerhah]

[Victory~]

A group of anti-Alliance brutes. I suppose you could call them pirates.

[big_sis_lcie]

[She is going to smash this robot up somuch Nods at the description of the enemy.]

Just a few thugs, huh?

[kerhah]

[He's gonna make you help fix it up, missy]

For those who don't choose to cooperate with others, we're one giant target.

Normally a well-armed target, however we're still recovering from that anomaly.

[big_sis_lcie]

[Cool she'll paint it bright pink out of spite.]

So we go out and do things face-to-face, so to speak. That's more my style anyway.

[it's at about this point that Oliver, previously distracted by fiddling with the controls, notices her on his viewscreen and opens up the cockpit, leaning out and waving] Hey, Lightning! Are you with me?
