He possessed some rigid ideas in the battlefield, especially when his squadron was herding targets for a decisive blow. Too quick, and a VF-5 might be exposed. Too slow, they might miss out on the complete destruction of a target. Zilkin could call out exact speeds and bearings to his squadron even as he flew, his mind reading the battlefield through the radar and his mental eye, leaving his physical sight bordering on the peripheral.<br/><br/>Many said that it was a suicidal form of trance, Zilkin agreed and disagreed. It was only suicidal when he did not know what he was getting into, but a chessmaster always knew what was ahead.<br/><br/><strong>"Fresh and ready, Phade."</strong>Zilkin called out as he approached his assigned fighter. His personal fighter was painted typical grey, Zilkin preferred to keep his plane clean of personal insignia. The trainer was no different, clean and dull, just like how he preferred to be seen in public.<br/><br/><strong>"This is Shinden, strapped in and ready."</strong>
