"I'm managing. I'm all set up and my Daisy looks fine" Keiko answered Yoshiro as she quickly checked the systems. Everything's fine, don't get nervous and everything will go smoothly. told herself in her head.
 
"Three two one, starting!" Ramiro pressed the button to initiate the simulation. Suddenly the large simulation bay turned into a landing bay, the bay door was already opened and outside of the ship was shining blue. "Exiting hyperspace on my mark. Three, two, one, mark!" The blue light faded and lights started flashing. "Move!"
 
Toshiaki moved quickly to Saki in her Daisy.

"We're partners now, get ready!"

His body tensed with anticipation as the instructor made the final countdown. By the time Ramiro said move he was ready to run and looking for an good position.
 
Yoshiro launched his Daisy and tried to manuver. He found that it was hard and he managed to wrestle the Daisy in to what he wanted to do but he realized that he may have put himself into a dangerous situation. Something isn't right. I can't think about that now, I just need to do what I have been assigned to do. He said as he charged his plasma rifle. He used his sensors to scan the area ahead of him and kept an eye open for enemies.
 
Saito ran towards the Mindy as the count down finished she had just managed to strap herself into the Mindy and have the start up going as the count down reached zero. She felt herself exhale as she thought she wouldn't make it.

She looked over to the un-partnered Daisy of Keiko and moved over towards the Daisy. "Keiko I'll help you move out towards the battle."
 
"That would be great, thank you" Keiko said to Saito after she made her proposal. Once both of them leaved the landing bay Keiko kept her attention focused on her surroundings, looking for a any signs of the enemies she expected.
 
Simulation started. First saki tried just moving her hands and feet. It was working perfectly. Her armour was as her own skin, thanks to SPINE control. Now she knew she picked up Daisy which is not that good in space, unless it is spacy version. This one was standart. She took out her LASR and did a check on it.

When other recruit flew to her and said about them being partner she nodded. "Roger," she responded and started moving out. She had to use her gravimetric drive, which was good for moving even in space, but its overall top speed was lower then Mindys. She took out first to make cover for her new partner. After all Daisy is designed to take punishment while Mindy is more agile and punishment-dealing machine.

"I will be a spearhead, let enemy focus on me so you can deal with them with some artillery." she said over communicator to Tosh. "But don't forget, we shouldn't get far from others." With that she raised her shield arm ready to find anything dangerous right out of the landing bay.
 
Toshiaki curtly nodded to his partner and replied, "Acknowledged. Keep me appraised of the damage you take."

The last thing Toshiaki wanted was to see the blocker in his group go down with no warning. Following Saki's lead, he turned on his gravimetric drive making sure to moderate the pace to the slower Daisy's speed.

I get the feeling I'm going to have plenty of opportunity to see how fast this baby can go in this simulation.
 
Yume watched the the last Mindy close up just in time. She twisted in her suit gliding backward towards the door. She pointed to Saki and Toshiaki " You two are group one" Her pointed to the second pair " Group two " then she spotted the unpaired Daisy and settled next to him settling her weapon in her right hand " we will be group three, last Mindy there, you will be designated as Scout and will assist the nearest group that needs it. Group one lead out, two and three on their rear flanks. Don't get too spread out, we are much stronger in a group with the unmodified Daisys." She muttered a bit to herself This is why introductions are so important. She then blinked in momentary reflection I hope no one minds I just took charge The thought was pushed aside as she set her focus on the simulation.
 
As the simulation began feeding through their sensors, giving them the impression of being in motion rather then halted on board a training ship, the trainees would be able to clearly pick up a small fight going on already, between two "Bobcat" configuration Mindy armors, and a larger force of Misshu, though at this range, the exact specifications of the armors assaulting the friendlies couldn't be determined. It was fairly obvious based on damage reports alone that the two Bobcats were about to go down, swarmed under by the larger numbers of the Misshu. As the data came filtering in, a voice came through too, though this time it was a created bridge crew member. "Fold complete, operations are a go to commence. Bay control, it's your show now."

Aendri paused to let the simulation finish it's start up, then spoke on his own. "Remember to let your Daisy buddies go once you're close. Their gravimetric systems will serve them well enough once the distance isn't quite so great."
 
Grabbing Saki and preparing to go towards the fight, Toshiaki waited a beat and decided to reinforce the impromptu change of command forming here.

"Group One ready to roll what are you're orders Yume?"
 
"I can launch sensor drones to get a picture of what is going on. We need to have intel on the situation and get a clear picture of what is going on." Yoshiro said. "Whatever you say, Yume-san I'll follow your orders to the best of my abilities but we got to move quickly."
 
Yume pursed her lips thinking quickly " Disperse the drones, I want damage reports on the friendly units followed but enemy type and number. Units one and two move into range and open fire. Your goal is to disperse the enemy off the those Mindys. Scout watch our flanks and establish communications with the Mindys, tell them to begin teleportation charging cycle as soon as possible."
 
Saki wouldn't mind being grabbed by Toshiaki. Mindys are faster after all. And being in space Saki could get speed and only use her gravimetric drive to maneuver. It should theoreticaly work in space.

She opened channel to Tosh and said. "We should hurry, those Bobcats won't hold out much longer. Group two will surelly keep up with us." With that she checked her LASR for last time and prepared to open fire as soon as they will be in range. She set firing mode on bursts for now.

She also used her optical system to magnify figth in front of them. SHe wanted to check number of enemies with her eyes and wanted to know, if they already know about group of trainees. She also wanted to pick up a good target for her to start firing upon.
 
Yoshiro launched the drones and surveyed the information. The power armor being attacked were heavily damaged and looked like they couldn't take much more. He readied his plasma rifle as he relayed the info that he got to the others.

"They aren't looking so good. They seem to have teleport capability but I don't know how far that it will get them." Yoshiro said "Get a move on guys!" Yoshiro kept an eye on the Bobcats as the Mishuu kept pressing their attack.
 
Toshiaki nodded in acknowledgment to Saki and replied to Yume, "Orders confirmed moving out."

Grabbing Saki, Toshiaki brought them at full speed within 500 meters of the enemy to have them in range of his drones and positioned them on the opposition's left flank. He then immediately launched his drones. He tasked five of them to begin firing at the Misshus ahead of them, but tasked the the sixth the keep an eye out for any enemies coming from an unexpected direction.

"Saki, be sure to stay close, if stuff gets nasty I want to be able to get you out quick."

Toshiaki pulled up his equipped plasma rifle and aimed for the Misshu nearest to the beleaguered Mindys and opened fire.
 
"Understood we'll go engage at once" Keiko said as she inspected the battle in the distance. Her LASR was in order now she just needed to get in range to put it to good use.

"Saito, lets go"
 
"Roger!" said Saki when Tosh confirmed their orders and moved out. When they finally stoped about 500 meter from enemy, she launched her two drones and put them on guard duty.

While doing that she took few seconds to get a good aim on the nearest Mishu. When Toshiaki said her to stay close she just said ",roger." again and started firing. She shot two accurate bursts at her target, then switched weapon mode to automatic and started firing longer bursts. She wanted to get enemys attention a little so those Bobcats could get out of there.

She also got ready for enemy retaliation, she had her shield arm ready and activated her CA pods if countermeasure system would be ready. Her energy cload was on full. She was ready to take hit for Toshiaki if needed too. She was the one capable of taking damage.
 
Saito nodded, and took off, following Saki and Toshiaki towards the fighting, doing her best to give Keiko a clean shot if she wanted it.

~~~~

Aendri took off, holding a goodly ways off from the rest of the group. He wasn't quite sure if the squad remembered that the Daisies had their own propulsion, even if it's range was limited, but that was their problem.

~~~~

Toshiaki's shots went wide, the chances of a worthwhile hit at this distance still small enough to make it pointless. As the squad moved in, two of the Rippers and the Shocktrooper peeled off to meet them, though the shocktrooper held back, letting the Rippers rush ahead.

Saki's shots, more precise, came closer to the leading Ripper, the distance still too great for accurate fire. Despite that, the two rippers opened fire, missing horribly, but clearly retaliating.

Meanwhile, the other Rippers kept up their attack on the flagging strength of the Bobcats. It was obvious via scans that the Bobcats wouldn't survive much longer, and the first one probably only had a dozen seconds left in it.
 
Saki didn't liked what she saw. Even in simulations Rippers were big and hulking. She was not afraid fo them but she had what she called a healthy respect for them. For them and their aether beams and gauss guns.

What was the name of her partner again? "Maeda-san let me go now. We are engaging the enemy and you have gave me speed." She said telepathicaly to him and kept her fire on. She wanted them Rippers pounded as much as posiblle. She fired on on of them but checked the other one with her eyes. Shocktrooper was still far in the back, that won't stay this way for long either. This was not really nice situation and Saki suddenly missed ground below her feet.
