Second Instruction

[1 - Not really locked but not useful to anyone but the Nanoha mages]

[Aboard the Asura, Chrono's called his mages to a meeting; that brings Nanoha and Fate to the main training room, the largest and best shielded he could think of. On a table rests a box, within which sit... could those be?]
Nanoha, Fate. I know it's taken longer than expected to get Raising Heart and Bardiche back online, but... we finally got them up and running again. We've run all the tests and they're ready to use. I'll brief you further on how they've changed when you activate them next - please don't do it here, I don't think even this room is shielded enough to take you two throwing your usual beams around. [He shows a warning expression, almost daring one of the two to try it so he can chastise them, before smiling.] I do want to note that I got a few extra parts in with the repair crates for Raising Heart and Bardiche, and you'll be pleased to know that I've fitted the Devices with Bureau-standard life support, approved and rated for space combat. The tradeoff is a larger draw on your magic, so don't expect to do as well in vacuum as you do hovering over Uminari City, but we won't have to sit on our hands if we're not planetside.

Any questions?

[2 - Video/Action]

[Broadcast to all parties:] This is Enforcer Chrono Harlaown of the Time-Space Administration Bureau - I'm sure there's at least someone on the ship I haven't met, so I'll be sure. I'm certain I've already briefed almost everyone on the Wolkenritter's capabilities, but I wanted to make sure I got one thing clear: they're dimensional criminals wielding the power of one of the most dangerous Lost Logia the Bureau recognizes. If anyone wants to refresh their memory on their abilities, I'll be in the main training room aboard the Asura. I'll have a stack of training devices with me as well, if anyone would like further practice.

[Indeed, Chrono's holed up in the training room, a table holding the magical equivalent of a projector, a now-empty padded box, and a small crate full of training devices that a number of pilots may have seen before.]

((OOC: I know at least two people need information, training, and/or Devices from Chrono as part of upgrade lines, and I've been a little lax on tagging this last month or so; Chrono will answer basically whatever here. Apologies to affected parties.))

So you were able to get life support added to our devices so we can travel in space...That's amazing! I didn't even know that was possible for a device. Thank you Chrono!

(Fate has a big smile and looks down at the new Bardiche. She hugs it close to her body.)

'I'm so glad that you are better Bardiche. I'm sorry you got so hurt.'

[coolblueiceman]

It doesn't seem like it's a common part; then again, looking at the specs, even someone at my level would have a hard time without exceptional control and power to offset the drain. [He frowns, glancing at S2U's storage form.]

I'm glad to help, though. Aside from our obligation as part of the intervention we're executing, it's a good idea to be prepared for whatever may come.

[While thanking Chrono, Nanoha is also curious, excited, and anxious, all at the same time. What exactly was the new Raising Heart capable of?

Still, she heeds the Enforcer's words and nods, almost beaming.]

Mmh, I agree!

Although, I never really thought about fighting in space before...is it that different from ordinary flying?

[coolblueiceman]

[Chrono nods.] Arguably the largest difference is gravity. Fighting on a planet means that no matter what you do, at the end of your action your motion is "down" - your flight just needs to compensate for that, and it's easy to come to rest since the air will slow you down anyway.

But out in space, there's no gravity and no air to resist you. Even the slightest move will send you flying off in one direction, and if you overcorrect to stop yourself then you'll go flying off in the other direction. It takes practice. Lots of practice. [A grimace.]

Does the Bureau possibly have a simulator that we can use so that we can try and get used to moving in space so we can be ready for it during a mission?

[coolblueiceman]

Sadly, I don't have that simulator data. Yuuno could probably get it to me, but it would take time. I can create zero-grav space in this training room, but... that's about it for now. Remind me later and I can set it up.
