Fort Tapir - VANDR Bay
Naak looked to the wing members that were either on or inside one of their respective organic machines or congregated as a group on the paved ground of the VANDR Bay. Unlike a starship VANDR bay, this one did not have a
GB System to make the entirety of the bay a floor. Instead, there were racks on two walls with a launching system where the semi-organic mesh would extend and wrap around the VANDR that was launching and deploy it.
Naak looked to Mox, then pointed to an Erla II for the pastel-haired Ivuori to utilize.
"This is the Setareh Wing," Naak said loudly, sweeping an arm to her left to those VANDR in a line next to her own. "And today you will be training with them." She looked to those assembled, then to her team. "The first phase will find us scouting the jungle for threats. These threats will be in the form of
MACD-like enemies. We'll just call them drones. There are some negligible differences, but the major one is that no harm will come to your vehicle when their weapon fire hits, but it will spray you with a colorful paint-like organic substance when you are hit by them. The second phase will find us in the air tactically fighting as two separate teams aiming to attain the same goal. And phase three will be a cool-down phase. We'll go over those two when we're done with the phases before them, respectively."
Naak went on to say, "Please, get into your assigned VANDR and we will begin."
Once everyone was inside of their immersion control pods, Naak spoke out to them while relaying information to everyone's visuals. She was showing them the order they would go in and the way in which they were to proceed.
"I want everyone to practice working as a team to do what I just did while we're in the jungle and in the air," Naak said. "Send your allies targeting information, positioning arrangements, tactical analysis, what have you. Stay in constant communication."
Everyone would be able to see that the Lanranr would be going first with the trainees second, then the Setareh Wing last with the engineering consultant and embedded war correspondent bringing up the rear.
When she was sure everyone had gone over the information, Naak deployed. She was slung into the air and made a vertical drop almost instantly and plummeted down towards Hlarai before evening out at the last minute and flew into the jungle just next to the VANDR bay of Fort Tapir. The trainees exited with much less grace and soon, were in the jungle, too.
Naak ordered, "Spread out," as she rocketed past the drones, not aiming nor firing on them, but also not being shot at by them, either. She was the sole one of those going out for training that would not be targeted by the drones today.
To Setareh Wing, only, when it was their turn to launch, she said, "Show them how it's done, dreamers."
