Alright. Like Hayato said last week, everyone who plans to fight in Zero-G needs particular training. So far we've only run into trouble with people stupid enough to fight inside colonies, but there's always a chance we'll have to engage someone in an orbital battlefield as well.

Anyone who plans to fight while we're in space, report to the hangar for training. This goes for our new Mobile Suit pilots, too. Those are designed to fight in space, but you still have to get used to the lack of gravity. Make sure you've got proper oxygen seals and install some of the Thruster Modules we bartered from Nergal if your unit isn't normally spacefaring.

[Unlike her few training sessions on the surface, of course, Calvina's assembling the crew inside the hangar. She's also going over final adjustments on Bellzelute for training - she might as well get some of her own practice in instead of just watching the kids play. It was a fairly simple task to turn the limiters up to the point where the energy weapons became simply tracers and to load the missile pods and rifle with paint rounds...]

Right. I had a look at both of your units for you, and they're fortunately designed for space and land use. Frankly, Rushbird could probably survive re-entry in a pinch. There shouldn't be any problems getting the machines to maneuver, so it's down to getting both of you used to operating in three dimensions.

[Again Ichitaka begins to wonder what the heck the Professor was thinking.]

Alright then I better get practicing as soon as possible.

[Obviously ignoring putting on a normal suit he boards the Rushbird launching into space shortly afterwards.]

[Tohya gapes at Ichitaka.]

What are you doing!? You can't go out there without a suit on!

[The reason he doesn't have a Normal Suit on is because, practical guy that he is, since coming into space he has kept one inside his cockpit.]

*sigh*

Well, he'll just have to never get shot down...

[Rather than calling him back, Calvina just heads out herself - suited, but with the helmet loose for better cockpit visibility. That Rushbird was a seriously armored piece of machinery, so she's not terribly worried.]

[Calvina's response doesn't make Tohya feel much better. But he gets into his unit, puts on his normal suit and launches anyway.]

[As they both head out they simply see the Rushbird spinning in place due to some very bad thrusting]

Hmmmm I thought that this would be a lot easier.

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

Always with the spinning

Don't use your thrusters, counterspin with your arms to stabilize yourself. That's what they're there for.

[Calvina demonstrates this. Perfectly, in fact.]

Heh, it's like riding a bicycle...

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

[Following her instructions and demonstration exactly he is able to stabilize himself a few minutes afterwards]

Has it been a while since you piloted in space ma'am?

[At the same time he began to try moving the Rushbird in every direction taking his time to do so.]
