The operation was already about to begin when Greyson clomped his way to the bridge. He was sure that he wouldn't be so impossibly missed when it came to the navigation, as Grissom himself did most of the technical navigation in his piloting. Greyson was just there so that he was doing something, and coordinating a flight path was better with someone separate looking at the map and pointing out the hazards. But that was only going to matter once they broke through the cloud-cover and into the city.

The doors slid open and then slammed shut again as the navigator walked through into the heart of the flight deck. There was a small squad of four people manning and monitoring various instruments around the helm, including Grissom himself at the controls. It was a basic sort of cockpit layout for airships, which had the pilot encampment on a platform bisecting a semicircle of consoles, monitoring and controlling the weapons and other auxiliary systems. The navigator sat in a smaller encampment behind the pilot, with access to a small circular holo-desk with with which to draw and upload flight paths to the pilot's HUD.

Greyson hopped into the navigator's chair and smacked the table, booting it up. He pulled up the three-dimensional map of the city, taking note of the already-established points which marked the anti-air cannons. Grey proceeded to zoom in, looking to mark the supposed encampments of armed sky pirates. It seemed like the AA cannons triangulated in a certain four-pointed prism, where the city mansion formed the outlying point. Which meant, in order to get a significant vantage upon most of the encampments, the Dusicyon would have to fly right into the grid of AA guns.

[color=darkkhaki]"Alright,"[/color] Grey briefly spoke up, [color=darkkhaki]"I'm sure you have a flight plan of your own in mind, but let me at least draw out a grid for you."[/color] His idea was to dip right into the fray and blitz the enemy before the AA guns could all load up upon them, and by the time they did, swoop up and away to loop around, keeping the guns at as far a range as they could distract them with. But Matty was the main mind behind the steering of the airship, so he was likely going to follow whatever plan the captain had laid out for him before. 

The point was, in fact, for the Crimson Dusicyon to provide air support against the brunt of the ground forces while the drop crew cleared out key points, so Grissom was likely going to linger more while the gunners dumped fire on the whole city. Risky, but perhaps more effective for the mission overall, perhaps. In any case, they would have to be mutable about it, as there was no clear indication of which AA installations were going to be taken down first.

Grissom swooped the airship into the city with abrupt force, granting the gunner crew a powerful blitz opportunity. And took it they did, quickly unleashing a full payload on the city below and quickly loading and re-loading for further attacks. Laser cannons pelted down the streets while brilliant fireballs blasted apart the towers and forts. His face curling into one of disdain, Grey briefly spoke out, [color=darkkhaki]"If we're trying to capture this city, maybe we shouldn't blow up [i]everything[/i]..."[/color]

Whatever further contributions Grey had, they were cut off by a sudden jolting to the side - a clear indication one of the guns had landed a solid shot on the Ducicyon. [color=darkkhaki]"Dammit, we're being nailed down here! Hit the throttle, put some range on the guns!"[/color] Grey called out to Matty, hoping his words weren't going to fall on deaf ears this time.
