Ze plane! Finally ze plane!

[[The typically stern, calculating, stone face of the major is broken into a girly smile. She stands beside the newly-arrived stealth fighter, long after it's pilot has sauntered off to deal with the captain, or whatever other Chalice occupants might drag her away.

Clearly, this overly happy grin is something rare for the Major... She'd even admit her cheeks here hurting! Just what in the gosh-golly heck is she so giddy about?

[Laura's been digging through the Chalice's procedural manuals, such as they are, to figure out how the hangar is supposed to handle a unit that can't just walk from its berth out the doors.]

Major?

[[Step one would be to remove all the storage and parts from the proper landing facilities. Nobody foresaw a real jet showing up, so... it's accommodations were likely totally covered in stuff.]]

Yes, Miss Ericks.

[She's drafted a few servbots to get started on that. We'll see how much she regrets doing so later.]

I take it the new arrival's plane is a pretty good one, then.

It's a very welcome sight after being beside so many giant robots for so long!

Did you train around planes when you started using Strikers, Major?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

Not myself, personally, but various Strikers do have their designs based on jets and planes that predated even this.

Granted, this looks to be top of the line without it becoming one of those... what are they now, Veritech? The Valkyrie Fighters.

I didn't think people were making advanced planes any more. I wonder why whoever's behind this didn't just go for a mech like it seems the rest of the world are...

I'm unsure myself, but, every machine has it's purpose, even if it isn't combat.

The emblem on this fighter... It's famous.

[emorangerpink]

Oh?

[Laura doesn't recognize it... but then, if it wasn't known to the woman on the street in Britannia or directly involved with the White Chalice in some way, she wouldn't.]

It has a rather long track record of impossible successes. Over cominng the odds, that is.

[emorangerpink]

Sounds like someone who'll fit right in here, then.

The pilot was pretty wrung out when she came aboard, but she should be helping us with repairs later - or steering us around the classified parts, at least. If you want to talk to her...

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

I've had the pleasure already.

[[In their thread, she escorted the plane on board.]]
