It had worked with some and not with others. It was more than he could expect really. Most of them were life long pros from long lines of pros where as Hector was a scrap as they were called in the Tortuga Dominion. His father hadnt been a pilot and he hadnt been "properly" trained. His experiences in battle were short bloody affairs not long campaigns and his mech, though in perfect order, looked like a junker.<br/><br/>They had been given a more detailed run down of the region they would be operating in and told to expect some maneuvers in the field to get the new recruits comfortable with the lances. Hector had to admit he was a little nervous. He was on a planet that was a bit hostile to his mechs setup and he was under the eye of not one but two Company leaders. They were dropping in onto the planet and Hector knew it was a dry run for him and DJ as well as a show of force to the pirates that would undoubtedly be watching. Stepping into position he dropped to the surface flashing his jets to soften the landing. It could be frowned upon but Hectors belief was that fuel was cheaper than hydraulic repairs.<br/><br/>Touching down on the surface made his blood rush. All of the times before such an event lead to immediate combat and he had to occupy himself with a systems check to get his mind off of it. Everything checked out and already he could see that his heat was going to be more of an issue. Nothing that he couldnt handle but he would definitely have to keep a weary eye on his readings. Moving into position with the command lance he activated his probe and ECM suites sweeping the area. He could already pic up Gheistwulfs probe activity and smiled. The two of them could seriously mess with an enemy and over a large area.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Long Tom, in position."</strong></em>
