Chelsea sat down in the seat and placed the earpiece over her ear. "Sorry for being late guys. I'm still getting lost arround here." The screen booted up in front of her. "Alright, I'm already to go here. Let's get this thing started."

(guys just keep me update date with whats going on. I have ten things going on so PM's are very helpful.)

Jim smiled, not so much at the prospect of an exercise but at the prospect of finally training his squad again. It had been too long since he'd been in command of a team, and he was ready. He nostalgically wished for Ambrose, Donnie, and Christine on his squad again, but the two nuggets he had would have to do. Jim considered how he would train these two almost opposite personalities in his squad. Chelsea is young and a little scared. She has good instincts, but needs to build her confidence and some basic teamwork skills. Ibram... needs the piss beaten out of him. He's proud and thinks he's God. Proud nuggets soon become dead nuggets. Break him. Jim thought at he saw Chelsea's enchanting visage on his monitor. Flashing her a smile, he told both of his pilots "This is a training adaption of an escort mission I flew back in the Hurricanes. The three of us are going to defend a convoy against waves of Titans mobile suits, with each successive wave containing more and better mobile suits flown by better AIs. I'll be watching and evaluating your performance the whole time, so stay sharp out there. Here we go" Jim keyed up his initial mission parameters and loaded the simulation. His screen swirled into a starfield, four transports bearing AEUG markings. His sensor grid pipped as they spotted an incoming flight of Titans mobile suits. "Tallyho! Track three bandits, GM Quels, bearing 060 by 037 true. Two, three, press and engage, I'll stay on close-guard!" he called as he ordered his pilots to take it to the enemy.

OOC- Jim is staying back; I will post as the AIs as necessary

Ens. Gaunt - Gamma 2

As Jim set up the program and gave them a short briefing, Gaunt double-checked his systems and made sure everything was green and ready to go. He divided his attention between Jim and the readouts in front of him, but didn't let anything slip past him despite that. "Escort convoy, aye." he repeated the mission objective out of habit, letting the goal take root in his mind. An escalation scenario, with our mobile suits running lower on fuel and ammo and higher on accumulated damage with each successive wave. Probably no end to the waves, either. Object is to make it past as many waves as possible before being shot down. Low probability of survival through third wave. I should shoot for five.

Then the blank screens around him abruptly changed to a starfield dotted with four AEUG transports. Gaunt quickly logged their IFF transponders and kept a tap on their communications while his scopes screamed a warning of incoming enemies. "Roger that, Gamma Lead. Three bandits coming in hot...engaging. Gamma 3, on my wing, please." Gaunt said as the starfield whirled around him, streaking into white lines to his eyes as he tried to keep up with the sudden movements of his mobile suit, accelerating and maneuvering onto a higher plane of attack. He put the sun at his six o'clock and then dived, trusting Chelsea to stay on his ass.

Ibram dropped his targeting reticle onto the lead GM Quell, shooting a text-only message to Chelsea to nail the wingman, and switched to his Nemo's beam rifle. He pulled the binocular sight out from behind his seat for a more accurate shot and zoomed straight in on the flaring lights of the Quell's thruster backpack. Adjusting for movement, shooting where the enemy was going to be and not where he was, Gaunt squeezed off two searing lances of particle energy from the beam rifle.

Chelsea knew what she had to do. It was just like back in her early mobile suit training for Anaheim. "That's right, I just need to think of it like that." The messege came over to her as it told her to handle the wingmen. "Ok." She closed her eyes and counted to three while she took several deep breathes.

She carefully lined her shot up and fired at the right Quel.

Karl sat on a crate watching the bustle going on around the hangar deck, as he was about to get up and go eat his phone rang, "This is Tirpitz." Karl said upon answering it, "Sir this is the intel section here on base, we were able to find the information you requested a lot sooner than we'd thought, those individuals are being held on the Alcatraz facility in old San Fransisco, also it seems that there are several AEUG operatives being held there as well." Karl smiled, "Thank you, burn anything you written down on that." With that Karl hung and headed for his Rick Dias, taking the lift up he sat down and closed the cockpit, patching into Jim's simulation, setting himself up as a ghost observer he sat off in the distance watching the budding fight unfold, "Jim, don't ask where I am right now, but we found them."

Jim programmed half the actions of the Quels as he sat back, observing his new pilots in the sim when Karl's voice entered his headset. "Jim, don't ask where I'm at right now, but we found them" Hell yes, we got them. Must let Ambrose know when we get finished here. Hang on Rick, I'm coming for you and the rest of the guys soon. He then focused on the exercise, and took control of the Quels. Okay. Chelsea hits and Gaunt's evades he thought, tapping the controls to the sims. Chelsea scored a solid hit on her target's left arm, blowing it off, and Gaunt's target evaded hard left, causing the self-styled wunderkid to miss. Don't kill him... yet Jim mused as he called out "Nice shot Chelsea. Ibram, tighten up your field of fire. That range you're better off just trying to get a hit instead of aiming for specific parts of the bird. Don't overestimate your own abilities, I've seen too many nuggets get themselves killed by doing exactly that" he told them as he waited to see how they'd react.

OOC - Hit for Orrick, miss for Ibram. No way to tell Jim was roughly handling the Quels IC.

Ens. Ibram Gaunt

That's odd...it's like they knew where the fire was coming from before the solar radiation cleared up. I should have had the drop on them... Ah well, I guess a computer simulation can't be perfect after all. Ibram thought idly as he continued heading straight down at the Quells. He punched it to full throttle as he traded his beam rifle for a beam saber. He held up his shield in front of him both to dissuade any return fire and to hide his next move. "Good shooting, Chelsea! Now hang back and try to finish them off once I blow through." he radioed just before his course ran perpendicular to the three Titan mobile suits.

They crossed paths rather violently. Performing a barrel roll as he passed between the two undamaged members of the Quell team, Ibram lashed out with his beam saber. He aimed mostly for a hit on the squad leader's lower torso, but attempted to direct his roll so he slashed through any part of the other Quell as he passed. It was a high-speed, breakneck maneuver, giving them no time to react to him before he was already past and trying to pull out of his dive. But the maneuver wasn't merely designed for Ibram to show off. If the two Quells decided to shoot at him, they'd be presenting their backs to Chelsea. The main objective was to present her with the best possible field of fire.

Sean sat in his room thinking about all the possibilities of how tomorrow could go askew. There could be new units that the Titans attained that are faster than the Dias, or the Titan in the mobile suit may decide to shoot him and Jim as soon as the cockpit doors open. Improvising would have to be a key factor in any of those situations, but Sean didn't like the fact that Karl wants to bring his ship. It could be shot down if there was an ambush, and the loses would be astronomical. In spite of his own doubts, he would have to go through with the deal to save Alicia. She was too young and weak to be a Titan prisoner, and Sean couldn't stand to see another family destroyed like his own was during the one week war. To this extent, Sean felt it would be appropriate to leave a message behind to the others, who at this point have no knowledge of anything. Taking a video recorder out, he started to think about what to say, and after lets say an hour of planning, had it all recorded and saved the video. Tomorrow he'd tell Karl about it to play for everyone, but for no he'd hide it in his closet.

"ALRIGHT!" Chelsea screamed out. She didn't think she would actualy hit it on her first try. She did just as she did before. SHe carefully lined up her shots and fired three beams at the already damaged Quel.

Jim elected this time not to interfere and gave the AIs full autonomy back. Idiot he cursed as he watched Ibram charge in with reckless abandon. Its a fair move, but if he think's that kind of sloppy technique will be enough against the enemy, he has another thing coming he thought as Gaunt moved in. It was a decent move, but it bore all the hallmarks of a nugget trying to pull moves beyond his ability level. Since the AI was on a relatively low setting though, without his interference he ran one of them right through. Chelsea's fire on the one she'd hit already splashed right into the thing's torso and head. The third one, though, did break through. Jim merely shrugged as he brought his clay bazooka to bear on it and blew it away, the low-level AI no match for his ten years experience in mobile suits.

"Not bad on an individual level you two. Chelsea, nice groupings with those shots. You've got the makings of a fine shooter over there. Keep that up and you'll be a great shooter. Ibram, not too bad. That move you tried is one of my favorites, but I've had ten years in suits to perfect it. You were a little sloppy with it, and trying a move beyond your experience level screams 'rookie' to anyone who knows what to look for. Fly within your skill envelope, not out of it, for best results, or you'll get vaped fast against experienced pilots. Despite both of you doing fine on an individual basis, your coordination was pretty lousy. These were outdated suits with low-level AIs, there was no reason for one to slip through if you'd coordinated properly. Ibram, Chelsea was a test pilot for a year before she went through ACM and she has a combat sortie under her belt. She has more experience than you, and I want her flying lead this time. I'm cranking the difficulty up, watch yourselves. Chelsea, you've got the lead, Ibram cover her" Jim called into the radio as he queued up two Galbaldy Betas and a single Marasai, while cranking the difficulty up from 2/10 to 5/10. Should put the AI skill at roughly their level with suits about the same; let's see how they handle this Jim mused as he watched his subordinates react.

Ens. Ibram Gaunt

Ibram elected not to reply to the way Jim seemed to always be on his case, grinning and shaking his head a little. Ibram was a quiet, friendly guy most of the time but he loved to fly by the seat of his pants. His instructors had been the same. "Fly safe, stay within your skill envelope" but he'd never listened. He'd pull things that sent the other cadets into flat out confusion, high G turns and insane maneuvers that got Ibram little time-outs and cleaning duty more than once. He knew how to handle his machine. From the first time he'd ever sat in a cockpit he'd been a natural. He reigned it back in squad combat, never left his wingman, and generally looked out for everyone else...so what was the harm?

Ibram's Nemo rolled and pulled a shallow loop back over to Chelsea, settling in on her right wing. He traded his beam saber back out for the beam rifle and checked the still almost full charge. "You've got lead, Gamma 3. Let's show him what us rookies can do, okay?" he text-only messaged Chelsea as he pinpointed the three new enemies on his sensor readouts. Hm...really skyrocketing the difficulty with this one, aren't you, Jim? Gaunt thought. Skipped sending us Hizacks completely and went right to the new units. I wonder how Chelsea will handle this one.

Chelsea accepted taking point on this one. Unfortunately, just as she got into position, she saw the enemy mobile suit that was also at their point. It was a Marasai!


-FLASH BACK TO HER FIGHT-
"Well, Miss, allow me to introduce myself, as both Orrick Alexander and your executioner!" Orrick boosted full speed towards Chelsea's unit. Startled she drew her beam saber and parried with Orrick's saber.
-END FLASH BACK-

That flashed before her eyes as she instantly froze up with terror. "No.. not that again. Her suit stopped dead in its tracks as she started to hold her arms. "Somebody, anybody please. Please get rid of it!!!"

Ens. Ibram Gaunt

"Gamma 3! Chelsea, what's wrong?" Gaunt radioed as he quickly lined up a shot at the Marasai and fired three times, trying to hit it in the chest or head, but mostly just to drive it away from Chelsea's Nemo until she got it under control. She's freezing up in a simulation? What's the matter with this girl? he thought grimly. Can we afford to have her watching our backs if she's going to do this in a real fight? She's going to get herself killed...maybe us too! Gaunt snap rolled right, bringing himself across the Galbaldy Betas' lines of fire and trying to draw their attention away from Chelsea as well.

Jesus kid. Hold it together Jim spat in his mind as he boosted forward. "Three, get outta there! Two, get the starboard Gal !" Jim shouted into the mike as he kicked forward, drawing his beam pistol with his off hand. Damn it, she's shook up worse from that last bout than I was after meeting Ambrose again! She needs to get that under control FAST. Might as well show these kids how its done, and show her she isn't alone out here he thought as he moved to engage. The AI Marasai was about to put a saber through her cockpit when Jim put a double tap from his beam pistol clean through its cockpit, killing the thing with precise fire and not hitting the reactor. Simultaneously he leveled the clay bazooka again, putting a shell straight through the portside Galbaldy. "Two, take that last Galbaldy then shut it down." he called, cursing Chelsea's reaction on the inside. Still, his moves here would show them what they'd be fighting soon, since Jim knew that at least Ennis was a better pilot than he was. Plus, seeing him pull a move neither of them could hope to do yet would hopefully build their confidence in him as a pilot and a leader. Not to mention shows them both what they can become if they listen to me and train the way I want them to Jim mused as he watched Ibram go for the last bandit.
