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...]

[Cheng nods, taking Calvina's instructions diligently. Given that the Behemoth's loadout is now more focused on accuracy than Spray and pray staying easy on the trigger is probably going to be a must]

I understand ma'am.

[It wasn't long before the Behemoth launched. Its pilot clad in an armored suit meant to survive the rigors of space. It was quite a challenge to keep the large machine steady. Cheng's lucky he doesn't have motion sickness with all the jinking and jerking that's happening]

[Calvina follows out in Bellzelute]

Don't jerk on the thrusters. If you try to micromanage, you'll overcompensate. That's what AMBAC routines are for.

[A muttered affirmative was the response, the Behemoth's movements smoothed somewhat, though there were still problems all things considered. If one were to listen closely they would note Cheng's breathing might have been heard over the comms and that he was shaking a little.]

You're doing fine.

[Calvina effortlessly moves closer to the Behemoth, matching its velocity.]

See? Perfectly safe. Take a few moments to calm down.

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

Alright....alright.

[Taking deep breaths. Easing his nerves. Safe. Right. At least until the shooting starts.]

You're in a heavily armored machine. That means you need more delta-V to maneuver, but you don't have to worry about minor collisions. Or many projectile weapons.

[Adding what was said to the growing mental list]

What would I have to worry about then?

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

Beam weapons and large meteors. Neither of which are around here now, so get used to how your CF handles in space.

[Combat training could be saved for later. Much later.]

[Indeed, it was hard enough getting Cheng accustomed to getting used to his space legs]
