She's been back in the service for 2 years now. I would assume she had ample time to get familiar with the VF-5 and was trained on it as part of earning her flight credentials back. Kali isn't really "getting back into the cockpit" now - that happened two years ago.<br/><br/>That said, I see a couple options to start something for Miss Callahan.<br/><br/>One would be your usual chance encounter scenario. Given that both are pilots that's easy enough, but perhaps Kali and Zilkin are neighbors (or at least live in the same apartment building). They could literally run into each other as Max sneaks out of Zilkin's place one day. Clichéd? Yes, sure. But this is an anime-based game, so why not?  ;)<br/><br/>Another option for a chance encounter could be during off-duty hours, somewhere in The Park. Exploring how Max spends her off-duty hours (when not with Zil) is something to consider, I'd say. And how serious is Max about Zil? Would she be curious about how someone else managed to combine family life and career? (Again, a cliche, but see above.)<br/><br/>Hah. And now that I think about it, maybe the solution is even easier. Max qualified on the 5 ... about a year ago? Maybe they were both trained on the VF-5 together? While I would assume Kali would have qualified on the 5 a little earlier than that, putting them together in the same VF-5 classes some time back wouldn't stretch thing too much, I think.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260005.msg12938511#msg12938511">Quote from: Mac84 on 28-01-2017, 03:41:39</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">If Hell is lookign for a place to slip his Character in, I could say She meets up with T'chak, and Foss at Zipangu, but not sure how she would "Stumble" across the place since it is one of those places that you only really find after you get lost.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>It's easy enough to assume that Kali has been on the base for a while now. She doesn't really have to "stumble" on the bar. Plus, chances are that Kali might know Cmdr. Nomura. Nomura is the kind of guy who would know a place like Zipangu (not to mention that he is Japanese), and he could have told her about it.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Something else we could try to set up something for Kali is that she'll be a squadron leader. Perhaps the squadron commanders get together once in a while to compare notes, hang out, chat, whatever in an informal way. If<span class="bbc_u">Relikai</span>is up for it, something like that could make a good opportunity for Kali and Zil to meet (and I could throw in a bunch of NPCs).<br/>
