"Cut me some slack, Jim! I'm on my fortieth lap already," Eddy shouted back to his fellow veteran, continuing to edge closer and closer to fifty laps around this hangar. He then said to Jim, evidently with a bitter voice, "Beats going to a fancy distraction!" |

"Why I'm here, Ed. Wanted to see how my team was doing, but it looks like they're at the party too." Jim told Ed as he joined him for the last ten laps. "Helluva thing with Bill leaving, ain't it?" he asked. |

"You could say that again, Jim. You know, the thing that really makes me mad was that Ennis...is leading these Titan bastards. To me back in the One Year War and times after, James Ennis was big brother, teacher and best man all in one. He's basically the reason why I earned the majority of my kills at Solomon and Pezun, how I became an ace and lived to raise a family. Now all I feel for him is anger and confusion as to why he'd actually be with them," Eddy said in utter frustration as Jim joined him. |

"I know what you mean, Eddo. When I was still in the Titans, he was one of the men they used as an example of what to do. Hard to believe a guy like him is still there. Must be the last of the old guard from the OYW left in a command level position, because I'll tell you they cleaned house right quick after 30 Bunch of anyone who had a conscience." Jim said bitterly. "My team is still rotting in prison somewhere for having the balls not to fire on civvies." He closed, anger clouding his face. |

"Just goes to show how corrupt the Titans have become, and such pussies the Federation is for not keeping them on a tighter leash," Eddy said quietly. "Listen, if there ever comes a chance of getting them out of prison, and you need backup, I'll be glad to fly with you. One vet to another. So, how's Gamma Team shaping up?" |

Ens. Ibram Gaunt "Ensign!" Speak of the devil... Just then a shout came from a few hundred feet away, drawing the eye to Ensign Gaunt, who was approaching at an easy jog to meet Jim and Eddy as they ran. He'd shed the pizza box, but still carried around his book tucked into his back pocket. "Ensign, did you still want to run some simulations with us? I was just heading back my mobile suit and I think Chelsea's heading back as well. Of course, only if you have the time." he grinned, coming up to jog alongside the duo at an easy pace. |

"Gamma? Just got the squad about three hours ago, so couldn't really tell you. Was about to assess them by putting them through a facsimile of an escort mission I flew back with the 'Canes, but then Karl called me into the meeting." Jim replied to Eddy as they kept running. "If we ever find them, trust me Ed, I won't need you're help. You're good, but you were in for what, a year and change before you opted out on points during the post-OYW drawback? I was on active duty for eight years; you're still a nugget next to me, Lieutenant" Jim said, smiling a bit. He watched as Ibram found them in the hangar. "Well, the Boss needed my opinion on something, so I had to bounce. But yeah, I want to see you guys in action, so let's go." Jim paused, thinking, before turning to Eddy. "Whaddya think, Eddo? You wanna put your boys up against mine? Double wager between you and me?" he grinned. |

"I don't know whether or not to take that kindly, humbly ask for some training sessions down in the hangar from hell or arrogantly challenge you to another mock battle," Eddy said smiling at Jim's comment. "Still, my offer of help stands. As for your wager, I'll kindly decline. I've lost enough wagers for one lifetime. But I would like for our teams to duke it out, see who is better...though I think we both know who'll end up on top," Eddy replied, remarking back to their sparring session down in the hangar from hell. |

Jim leaned in so that Ibram couldn't hear his discussion with Eddy. "I want to see that fight too, Eddy. Only trouble is Gamma is one Ace in me, one pilot with only one combat sortie under her belt, and one who hasn't seen blood spilled outside a shaving nick. You've got Banska and Downing. Even with me running train on your ass that's a hell of a disadvantage for my outfit, even though I could probably take two of you. I did stay with Karl for a good while in an inferior suit." Jim smiled before he continued loud enough for Ibram to hear "But I still want some time to put my people through the training program I perfected in the 'Canes before I slug it out with your end, hence the sims today" Turning to Ibram he said "Go ahead and fire her up; I'll find Chelsea" As the kid stalked towards his suit, Jim pulled his phone out and dialed Chelsea. |

Ens. Ibram Gaunt Ibram nodded and stopped jogging, falling away from the other two pilots. He headed back to his mobile suit with a determined gait. It was about time that he was able to show the veterans just what a "rookie" could do. They all treated him like a kid, as if flying in the One Year War made them so far and away from his skill level that he wasn't even worth considering. Sure, he hadn't heard what Jim had said just now, but he'd been seeing and hearing it all day. Gaunt grinned. It's not like he hadn't beaten OYW vets in simulations before. His trainers in flight school were vets down to the last man and they'd learned not to take him lightly. Sure, he didn't beat them all the time, or even half the time, but he'd just been learning then. He'd made sure that each of his instructors remembered his name by the time he'd graduated. The wings on his uniform were proof of that time he'd spent. Not only that, but he could take apart and reassemble any mobile suit in the goddamn hangar blindfolded and have it running better than it had when he'd started. He'd been a mechanic for years before he considered being a pilot. He knew those machines inside and out, every bolt, plate and circuit. He had also seen battle, knew the rush, the panic involved and conquered that fear long ago. Those two were going to be in for a surprise. The lift rose smoothly up to his MSA-003 Nemo's cockpit and Gaunt tossed himself into the chair. He fitted the radio headset onto his ears and stuck the mic tape across his throat so that it would pick up the vibration of his voice when he spoke. He woke up the mobile suit's computer and set it back into simulation mode, his keystrokes sounding like the report of an automatic weapon his hands were flying over the pullout keyboard so fast, his eyes darting back and forth over the screen in front of him. The cockpit hatch closed on him as he started warming up the systems for test runs. |

Downing got nothing to do after he finish his pizza, he look around, and he sense he should go to the hanger to check on what Eddy was doing cause he was last spotted there by some crew member. Downing then looks at Bill and say “So Bill, take care and good bye.” Waving away, Downing then walk toward the hanger in hope that he able to find Eddy. After few minute, he finally found Eddy, running some laps on the hanger ground. Downing come close toward Eddy and says “So, what you doing running laps on the hanger ground? You don’t look like you need to lose some extra weight and also, running laps when we are on the moon aren’t the most tiring thing to do too due to the gravity different compare to earth.” |

Finally finishing those fifty laps, Eddy stopped to catch his breath for a brief moment. Then, David came over and began talking. Eddy's only response to him was, "Get your Nemo ready for a simulation battle. We're going to be assisting Jim in training his Gamma Team. No ifs, ands or buts," Eddy said as he climbed up the ladder to the crew access arm and positioned it next to his Nemo's cockpit. Opening the hatch, Eddy quickly got inside and began powering up the systems slowly to make sure they would start up. Putting on a COM headset, Eddy quickly switched all systems over to SIM mode. Deciding to talk to the new guy, he opened a COM link to Ibram's Nemo, and said, "So, how'd you end up joining the AEUG?" |

Jim watched Eddy get into his Nemo after ordering Downing to do the same. Did he listen to me at all? These nuggets aren't ready to throw down with you, Eddo. We haven't worked together at all yet, and the two of them have but a single sortie between them. Let me train them up a bit, then we'll talk about an intersquad sim ran through his head as Jim opened up a private comm line to Eddy and said "Eddy, look, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but we both know how this ends at this point. You run train on my two nuggets while Banska and Davey tie me up, then all three of you gangbang me with the easy pickings gone. I need at least a week to get them trained and get their confidence up a bit before they are ready for a bout with Beta. Back off, this is my squad to train, and killing their confidence isn't what I want you doing right now." Jim smiled as he continued "That's my job. That kid Ibram was apparently a wizard at flight school, and he let it go to his head. I need to beat that confidence out of him myself so that when he earns it back he knows he truly deserves it this time. Chelsea is still too damn nervous, and killing her in the sims against a computer then building her up slowly is how I want to train her. Let me handle the training of my team, sir" Jim put over the comm, making it clear in no uncertain terms that Eddy was going to back off. |

(Ya, Redshirt, beat the confident out of the new kid after the way he talk with Downing, however Downing were also top of his academy back in the old days, but that in the time before veteran pilot ever existed, hahahaha.) Downing unsure why Eddy in such a rush, as he saw Eddy getting into his Nemo, Downing couldn’t stop himself to mutter, “So when did he became a dictator in the team.” Downing a little unwilling to get into his Nemo as so many thing happening around him yet he don’t have a slight clue what actually happening. But still, Eddy being Downing old friend and currently his team leader, Downing simply just follows order. Walking slowly toward his Nemo. |

Ens. Ibram Gaunt Getting a sudden transmission from Eddy's mobile suit, Ibram tuned his frequency to reply while he finished some last minute tune-ups before the simulation started. "Me? Well, I grew up in Side 1, sir. I'd been a mechanic before and just recently transferred to being a pilot after the Delaz incident. My whole unit jumped ship after 30 Bunch and we were all reassigned throughout the fleet." he explained as he finished up. He moved the pull-out keyboard out of the way and slid his hands around the reassuring grips of his control yokes, leaning back just slightly in his acceleration chair. He kept and ear out for Jim's orders while he wondered just why Eddy was so interested. ((I'm assuming what Jim said to Eddy was over a private line. If it wasn't then let me know so I can edit my post.)) |
