"Hope you haven't gotten rusty then," commented Stronin with an easy grin. "If we have time, try and take it for a spin out in the open. It'll net us a bit of data that we can program into the simulators."

A cheer rose from one of his team members. It looked like they'd managed to clean out all of the poor pirate's body parts and fluids, which were now on the bay rather than inside the drying and bleached cockpit. That meant he could get to work on the repairs while the others started getting rid of the mess. Hopefully he too wasn't too rusty. It'd been a while since he'd tried to get a Bradley functioning.

"Time to start then," he said, glancing towards the damaged cockpit. "I'll see if I can get a message to you when I'm done."

"An unfamiliar machine is one that you must study the most," noted the leader of Lumen Team, his baritone crackling slightly over the speakers in Henry's simulator pod. "Always question if you need any further information on a HFV's capabilities."

There was silence for a few seconds.

"You made an unnecessary sacrifice by deploying the shield early in the battle. Do not detach portions of your machine so readily, particularly if you possess the capability to avoid damage through other methods."

His words were professional, neither berating nor overly lecturing.

"Space is a three-dimensional environment. You possess the freedom to manoeuvre in any direction, unlike within atmosphere. Keep this firmly in mind. Do not allow your soul to be entrapped by gravity. If one plane does not seemingly provide an answer, seek another. The decision to approach the centre of the cloud head-first was unwise when the possibility existed to avoid doing so by descending beneath it."

The simulators began to hum to life once more, the world around them materialising into the void of space again. Bertrand's machine was hanging in the darkness before Henry, the green Rook ready for another round. These lessons were ones that the young pilot needed to learn.

"Every action must be purposeful," boomed Lumen 1's voice across the speakers. "Do not waste a single attack. Do not allow yourself to be cursed by your assumptions. Now, show me again how you fight, Henry Yatogami."
