"Right then, before we come to your assignments and such, why don't you all introduce yourself to your future colleagues?"<br/><br/>She gave everyone a moment to briefly introduce themselves. "You'll get to know the rest of the squadron over the next few days. Now, lets come to the moment you have all been waiting for. Lieutenant Cosinara, you'll fly with Lietenant Zephorus as your RIO in Hawk Three. Lieutenant T'chak, you pilot Hawk Four, with Lieutenant Foss as your RIO."<br/><br/>Leaning forward in her chair a little, Clancy looked to Katherine Foss. "As Lieutenant T'chak is just transitioning to variable fighters I don't expect you to fly more than a few tanker hops together in the next few weeks. Until Mister T'chak is fully checked out on the VF you will fly backseat with me, most of the time.<br/><br/>"And don't worry, Lieutenant," she turned her head towards the scarred Zentraedi. "We will get you up to speed soon. Lieutenant Cosinara is a qualified instructor. I am sure she will be happy to help you to the best of her abilities, just as I am certain the rest of the squadron also will."<br/><br/>The Lieutenant Commander rose and took position behind the lectern, bringing the monitor behind her to life. "As you are all relatively new to the moon, I'll briefly introduce you to our standard patrol patterns and schedules." On the monitor a three-dimensional graphic of the moon and its surrounding area of space appeared, several sectors of space marked in different colors.<br/><br/>The squadron commander briefly went over a few things, highlighting the differences to both ship-based and Earth-based standard procedures operating on the Moon brought with it, before going into the flight schedules for the Hawk squadron's latest crews.<br/><br/>Hawk 03 had a patrol scheduled for noon on the next day, Hawk 04 the evening shift on that day, with Commander Clancy taking the pilot seat, while T'chak was scheduled for a day of training and simulator exercises. Afterwards both crews would get the weekend off, resuming their regular duties again on Monday, the 15th, with simulator training and desk duties.<br/><br/>"And that is about it," Elizabeth Clancy concluded. "For those of you who don't already have a copy at hand, Lieutenant Chu over there," she gestured towards the young Lieutenant at the desk in the other corner of the room, "has copies of the VF-1 operating manual and the electronic warfare manual. I know you all heard this before, but study those manuals. Thousands of hours of work by engineers, test pilots, and regular crews like you, have been spent on those manuals. They will tell you everything you need to know – and more. Familiarize yourself with the emergency procedures till you can repeat them in your sleep. One day, knowing those procedures without thinking can save your lives.<br/><br/>"If there are no questions, you are dismissed."
