"Well, the specifics were yours to pick. What I really wanted to know is if you had any previous flight experience" Jim replied, wishing that her smile was a little more open and inviting. |

"Well I've had a year of experience flying mobile suits, but no combat experience. I even got to test out these Nemo's a month or so before the AEUG even got them. I don't know how I'll do in real combat, but thats why I have all of you guys right?" She said as she winked at Jim. |

Karl chuckled at his two new pilots as he finished loading the briefing program, "Alright kiddies, we can socialize at recess, time for the briefing, anyone who's not here gets to do laps around the dock." Karl tapped a button on the computer and the far wall lit up with a overview of the mission plan, "Alright, our objective is a mid sized Mobile suit development base deep in the Himalaya's, the brass want us to take it as intact as possible and long enough to collect on any prototypes we find there. Since they don't expect a large Titans presence there our two ships will be the only ones who'll be executing the attack." |

"No worries Chelsea. We take care of our own out here. And don't worry about having no combat experience. I was a test pilot for four years after the One Year War, and the best wingman I ever had never flew combat before I met him. He was an engineer and test pilot at Oakley for three years before he transferred into my squadron. You'll do great; just like both myself and Ambrose, as a former test pilot you know exactly how far you can push your suit and yourself, and you'll have more experience in handling bent birds than quite a few combat pilots I've met" Jim responded, thinking briefly of Baron the Bastard Geisler before noting the wink and hoping it meant something was there. Later, we've still got an op to plan, and I'm still a little green as far as Earthside combat goes. |

"Alright, sounds simple enough. We drop our teams from orbit, eliminate any defenses the base might have and collect data on any prototypes maintained or in development there. But of course, intel could be wrong about the defenses. So if we drop in with only what we have, we might be getting into some serious shit we can't get out of, even with the experience and inexperience we have around here," Eddy said as he motioned to both Jim and Chelsea. |

"That's why I've decided tp exercise a little command authority changed our drop point to a position 10 clicks north of the target zone, with any luck we can draw out a portion of their forces and ambush them, then move on to the base and finish the job. If they don't respond to our drop then we'll move into a favorable position, ascertain their strength and go from there. Now, we'll be using the newly designed ballute packs for our drop, they'll allow us to drop individual suits while still maintaining combat effectiveness, they'll require some training but I don't think we'll have much trouble with them." |

As soon as Karl started the actual brief, Jim sat down and shifted to all business. Shit... scuttlebutt was right and this is an earthside op. Jim hadn't done earthside training since he'd been in the Hurricanes, and had only made one patrol near Jaburo during the OYW. He heard Eddy take a shot at him after Karl finished. "OK, Edo, I'm sorry I lied to you guys when I started out here, but will you please stop acting like I'm some scrub nugget fresh out of basic flight? We compare stick time I'm guessing I've got more than anyone but Karl and Bill" Jim responded irately, liking Eddy less and less with each passing day. "And give Chelsea a break, she does have a year's worth of mobile suit flight time as a test pilot, and some of the best pilots I've ever seen started out as test pilots. Both my wingman and my CO in the Hurricanes started out as test pilots before we were reassigned to the 17th." Jim heard Karl go on about the plan. "Sounds like a pretty good plan boss, but unless the CO there escaped the purges after 30 Bunch I'll give you 5 to 1 odds he comes straight for us the second we hit dirt. The Titans nowadays are all idiots who come in guns blazing, no percentage in tactics. Just arrogant Neanderthals who'll kill anyone" Jim responded to Karl. |

"That's what I'm counting on Jim, that's why we're dropping into an area that will give us the upper hand if they do come out of their hole to attack us, a plateau surrounded by flat ground for several clicks all around, that'll give us the advantage even in complete darkness." |

After Jim mentioned 30 Bunch Chelsea's attitude completely changed. She wasn't the carefree happy go lucky girl. It was all business, and to make her first day even worse, was that her new team leader was treating her like dirt. Her thoughts were, "He really doesn't need to be so mean to me right off the bat. I meen I know I'm new but this is pretty harsh. I bet he's one of those looser pilots I'd meet so many times before at Anaheim that always showed off and never bothered to treat the subordinates correctly. I always did believe that they had forgotten what it's like to be a newbie." The ballutes would only be a slight problem for her, since she only ever tested it out once and it was in a computer simulation. She would definately need more practice with it, afterall they were going down to Earth. A place she had never been to before. |

"Alright, so the ballutes should be getting delivered sometime this week, so when they get here we'll begin training with them. They haven't told me yet what our egress plan is after we're through with the base but if we do get pushed out we've been ordered to trash as much as we can on the way out, I'm assuming though that we'll be linking up with our Earth based comrades, Karaba, possibly to help them with anything they have going on or to be sent straight back to space." |

Jim only half-listened to the end of the brief, noting how Chelsea tensed up the second he mentioned 30 Bunch. Gotta be a story there, but that'll be harder to pull than mine was he mused. His ears perked up as he heard Karl mention they didn't have an E&E plan ready yet. "Karl, we need a set escape and evasion plan in place in place just in case this thing goes south. No one here signed up for a suicide mission, and with no E&E plan ready for a hard drop like this that's what it'll turn into. I can take point on that if you want" Jim offered. |

"For now our only plan is to hoof it out of there because there isn't an airfield sturdy enough to land a transport plane big enough to take all of our suits out at once, we can either make for a major port on the Pacific coast of Asia or head for India." |

"Fair enough, boss. Not ideal, but we'll have to make do. We should at least setup a fallback rally point and pick emergency egress routes for both plans just in case." Jim threw out there, obviously uncomfortable with the prospect of ad-libbing a fighting retreat. "Any chance the Gibberish can have a supply drop ready for us in case things go real south?" Jim asked, remembering the endless planning that went into every op when he was with the EFSF, and later the Titans. "If it does go that bad and we're hoofing it out, extra ammo and rations never hurt anyone." |

Karl thought about it, "I can see about a supply drop after we get out, but I doubt they'll let a major battleship do it, considering this attack is taking place at the same time as one on Jaburo, my bet is that after the drop the EFSF's orbital security will be on high alert but I'll pass the suggestion on up though. As for planning for egress routes, that will come later on, we'll be getting more and more intel on the forces in that region, so we can plan according to their patrols." |

Mack stood outside the hidden hangar that held the AEUG ships of the 7th Lunar Detatchment. Before the 7th heads out on their next operation, he might as well use this opportunity to take a good look at the ships and one final check on their mobile suits. Making sure not to draw any attention to himself, he entered the facility leading to the hangar. After a few moments, he reached the guard at the doorway. "Mack Snipes... Anaheim Electronics," he said as he pulls out his I.D. badge. "They're sending me over to give the Ricky D's and the Fishes a final check. Mind letting me in?" OOC: Gonna need someone to RP the guard... |
