Location: Ready Alert Hangar aboard CDF Starchild IIStatus: Ready and Alert in SI-3 Longsword
Callsign: Grim 3
Dace adjusted his position in his seat as he let his eyes scan over the status displays of his Longsword. The fighter was far and away more advanced than the centuries old fighter craft he'd flown from his parents old Explorer ship, and he had a near constant giddy feeling in his stomach when he got to fly in it. His mind was already working on various ways he could modify the interceptor, if he were he to ever be allowed near it with a sonic spanner or an autowrench. The systems were designed for fast deployment from the factory, which Dace understood. Still, he felt he could get a lot more out of the spaceframe and systems.
'Grim Leader to Grim Squadron. Check in.' Dace heard in his ear, and he toggled the mic on as soon as he heard Kip in Grim 2 check in.
"Grim 3, showing ready status green." He replied, then put his mic back to standby. He half listened to the rest of the small interceptor squadron check in.
They were all within visual sight of each other, the ready alert hangar for them wasn't quite as massive as the main hangars or the maintenance decks, so Dace saw everyone else adjusting their seats and flipping through menus on the screens of the fightercraft as they waited to be activated or taken off of ready alert status.
'Thank you Grims. Hold tight.' his squadron leader replied after everyone checked in, then his ear went silent. People may have chatted on private lines, but Grim Squadron was fairly good at radio silence. Which is what you get when you pack a squadron full of loners.
