01. A most radical introduction.

[go4the4hatches]

Fox, man, you didn't tell me this place was wired with such low-tech technology! These computers, man! They're slower than dirt, bro! What's the deal?

Erm, anyway.

Hello, Su-may-burr-ah Gawk-yew-een! My most righteous name is Bill Grey, but dudes can call me Professor Bill Grey, haha! I am totally a professor now! Of Philosophy! Classes start

I'll forgive you for the low-tech dealio because you've got some style. [a.k.a cool shades]

... Oh, right. Cool shades, by the way. [Told you.]

Philosophy doesn't sound all that great, but it's different from the crap I got taught, so that's a plus.

Oh yeah, name's Goose, Piloting and Security. Welcome.

[go4the4hatches]

Thanks, man! Apparently I hit some sore nerves with that comment.

And your shades are of the most excellent variety, too.

Philosophy is like... stuff about things that, like, exist, and things that don't exist, or COULD exist, or could happen but don't, or WILL happen, or... w-wow, that was mondo confusing!

Nice to meet ya, Goose! I, too, am a pilot! Maybe we should race sometime?

[badasscopters]

Heh, now I definitely can't get mad at you. Thanks. [Ego boosts are delicious. He has them for breakfast.]

... Eh, yeah, sure. Yeah. That makes sense to me. Yeah. [No, no it doesn't.] You, uh, have fun with that and all. [He likes Bill, but there's no way he's lurking his class. Okay, okay, maybe he still will, but. STILL.]

You're- You're a pilot? [/)*AAAAAAAAAAA* EEEEE] You can damn well bet we can race sometime. What d'you fly? I'm a gyrocopter pilot.

[go4the4hatches]

No problemo, I'm a likable guy, I've been told, brah.

Oh, man... I am THE pilot! Well, THE pilot on Katina and stuff. I was the head of the Husky AND Bulldog units, man! But being in charge of a bunch of rookie pilots kinda blows, you know?

I don't know what a gyrocopter is, but I totally pilot a custom Arwing! It can fly in space and everything! It's wicked cool!

[badasscopters]

I can think it'd get kinda boring. Kinda how I felt back home. [Goose what are you talking about, a 13-year-old was able to outdo you :|]

Another one of you Arwing pilots? Like the ones I've seen so far, so I can't complain.

2/2

[badasscopters]

[Except... he didn't know that one very certain quality about Arwings. He only assumed they were basically regular aircrafts, but space-travel capability?]

Wait, wait, hold the phone. Space?

Re: 2/2

[go4the4hatches]

Tchyeah! Fox didn't tell you? I had to cart junk around as a delivery boy from Katina to Fortuna and back way more times than I wanna remember, man! The people on Fortuna are kinda needy bastards.

Re: 2/2

[badasscopters]

Never even really heard of a Fortuna before. Or a Katina. Or anythin' like that. Fox didn't mention that to me.

... So, say, even someone like me could travel space in one of those? Not that I'd pilot one or anything. Space's too far off for my liking.

Re: 2/2

[go4the4hatches]

I dunno, man. They trained us specifically for it at the Academy. Ya gotta know about cabin pressure and weird steering controls and stuff. I suppose if you wanted you could, like, sign up at the school on Corneria?

Re: 2/2

[badasscopters]

Eh, no thanks. You think they allow backseat passengers in Arwings or somethin', though?

QQ

[go4the4hatches]

They're kinda designed to be single-seaters, man, but maybe you could, like, fit in the trunk or somethin'? Sorry, man.

sobbb

[badasscopters]

Aw, shucks. [BAWWWWWW]

Eh, not a biggie. I'm fine enough in the sky I'm used to anyway, but thanks.
