"It's been an hour already?" Probably a good thing. It looked like if the conversation had kept going, half the pilots would have completely given up on the other half. Guess that's what happens when you throw a bunch of strangers in the room and give 'em vaguely, somewhat antagonistically worded orders and then tell them to get familiar with each other.

Rather than look for the changing room himself, Roger opted to just follow Harold. He looked like he knew where he was going. Well that, and he was looking at a datapad for directions. Why do work yourself when somebody's doing it for you?

In the changing room, Roger found his pilot suit. White with a large blue on both sides of the torso for visual flare. It was something he'd had to wear many times over the last few months so that he'd get used to it, even though he almost never actually got into the Framewerk. It never stopped being weird to put on. You had to force it to stretch every time you put it on, and if you didn't work it right, the suit would hug your junk against one leg, and that was not comfortable. But if months of shoving his body into such a small suit taught him anything, it was the most efficient way of shoving your body into the thing until it fit.

Roger found his way to Yeager and listened to the orderly fill him in on the details as he made his way towards the cockpit. Both his training as an airplane and Framewerk pilot allowed him to understand about 85% of everything he was told, but it was quickly apparent that there were no problems with the suit, and the guy just had a roundabout way of getting that point across.

After getting seated in the machine, Rooney went through all the parts and what they were for: sensors, controls, system monitors, Synch ratio, communications... everything was green, and he had a somewhat decent mental map for everything, even though his hands were much slower. It was a good thing he could naturally synchronize with Yeager as well as he could, otherwise he'd be unable to move the thing with his current level of experience, let alone pilot it in battle. Roger enabled communications and set the channel to the open comm.

"Roger and Yeager, all green. Standing by for deployment."
