As always, it was appropriately brief.<br/><strong>"Aff',"</strong> was all she would hear, though he tuned his sensors to keep track of her. No rookies from his lance were going to get themselves into trouble on his watch. So far, however, she seemed one of the more professional ones of the bunch and that sat well with him. He was still going to postpone his verdict until a later time, however. With comms going silent again, he continued along the planned route, his head leaning calmly against a stretched index finger and thumb.<br/><br/>When Allia's orders sounded, that same hand reached for the control again and the speaker system on her end would expel the stern tonality of his vocals. <strong>"Aff'."</strong><br/>Straightening himself so he was comfortable, the experienced pilot double-checked all systems, figuring it was not going to take much longer for the chaos to erupt. The instant the massive projectile appeared on his radar, however, he attempted to get a lock on it and fire some of his missiles to stop it before it hit the ground. However, the launch had been too sudden and evasive maneuvers forced him to abandon the effort.<br/><strong>"Long Tom, Sloane, Charybdis. Evasive maneuvers until we can properly pinpoint the shooters,"</strong> he ordered, remaining as calm as ever despite the ordnance being casually hurled at them. Pushing the custom Ha Otoko to its top speed, he pushed the craft to move out of the way as best he could. He remained close to the back of Strike Lance in an attempt to have his anti missile systems make them a much harder target to hit.<br/><br/>He knew this operation was going to be more trouble than expected. He hated being right.</div>
