Flight Club, Monday, 4 pm in the flight shed

[can_be_more]

It's the first time Aeryn's opened the flight shed herself, and she tries not to think too much about that as she sets up and waits for the others to arrive.

When they do, she greets them with, "If you don't already know me, my name is Aeryn Sun, I'm former military, spent a good part of the last three cy- years piloting a fighter ship and was doing so as late as this February. You've all shown at least a little interest in flying and learning how to do it, so this would be the place for it. Now I'd like you all to introduce yourselves, tell me what experience you have, and if there's anything in particular you'd like to study here, I'll see what I can do to get it."

She gestures to the simulator and says, "You'll also be able to get into the simulator this time. It's called a Prowler, and this is what I'm used to flying. It's used for reconnaissance and battle, and you'll even be able to operate weapons systems. Luckily you can't really shoot anything, no matter what your experience. If you need me for anything, I'm around."

"Almost," she says encouragingly, pointing out the correction.

Broots grinned and re-did the sequence. He might have been putting a tad too much force on all the controls, almost as if he was using a laptop.

"Might want to lighten up a little. Real ships don't like that," she advises.

"But it's a computer!"

"But it's to be treated like a real ship," she says. She's going to become an aspirin junkie at this rate.

"Why?"

Re: Get in the simulator

"Because that's what it's built for. To train people to deal with actual flight, which means treating the computer as a real ship."

"So I'm not allowed to treat it as a computer game?" You'd think being Miss Parker's lackey for two years would teach him sense.

"You can if you treat it nicely."

"I treat computer games nicely!"

"Okay, okay," she says. "Pretend that it's very very sensitive, all right? Just humor me."

"Fine." Broots grumbled and petted the simulator.

Aeryn stares at him.
