Wade just stood listening to the conversation. He was just a simple flight jockey and really didn't even have anything to add to the conversation. Though the more he watched the princess the more he thought he recognized her. A sudden grin hits his face... Of course! She was piloting the craft he passed over. The thought had him suddenly evaluating the craft he had seen. They were nimble to be sure, but he had doubts that they could escape gravity and actually go to space.<br/><br/>His face sobers as he thinks of what was going to happen to them. Traitors just because they wanted to defend another race. As the wheel turns he guesses... How many other times has this happened? Then a thought hits him and he finally breaks his silence, "Excuse me Captain but if the rest of the board is like the weasel we have on the Musashi. Our employers are probably spinning the event to make us look like we were in the wrong. Since we are pretty much traitors anyways and I doubt the Earth Government will even take the time to listen our side of the story. I think that our best bet would be to help them raise their tech level to where they have a chance to defend themselves..."<br/><br/>He shifts a bit, "There is something here the cooperation wants and they will be back to get it. This time they will probably bring more then one battleship and something tells me that both of our survival depends on each other now. We might not be politicians or diplomats but the way things have gone, we may have no choice."<br/><br/>Turning to the king he bows, "Your Majesty I'm the Commander of the Crimson Lance squadron. Captain, Your Majesty, I would like to propose something if their pilots would agree. We have a flight simulator on board the Musashi that simulates how our fighters move. It does no harm to anyone using it, but if your pilots would like I could give them time in it to see if they could get used to fighting in space."
