[color=ed1c24][i]'I suppose this is what I get for waiting so long. Still none of them are that bad.'[/i][/color] Bill commented to himself mentally as he prepared himself for what was to come next. Getting this team to work in a cohesive unit was going to be had. He'd have to channel his grand father a little bit. [color=ed1c24]"First off we need to make sure everyone's all and good."[/color] Bill said aloud as the kids watching TV shouted in disappointment as Siegfried lost and LAX's theme played in the background. [color=ed1c24]"But I suppose I should also introduce myself better to everyone not in the know. I am Bill Atlas. Former back up pilot, now Team Leader, of Celestial Star. Role given to me is Skirmisher. I'm good at fighting one on one. Nice to meet you Gurevich Kiril. You can call me by my first, or last name as you choose. I'm your boss not your slave driver so if you have any concerns feel free to come to me about them."[/color] Bill told everyone as he adjusted his uniform which was clinging tightly to him. He really hated uniforms they were way to formal. [color=ed1c24]"For anyone not busy right now I'd like to take a chance to go into the simulator with you guys. We'll be fighting against level forty computer AI's. This way we can understand how well we can work with each other without comprehensive training, and see what we do need to work on."[/color] commented Bill further as he tried to act as professional as possible while not being intimidating at the same time. He didn't want to be 'that guy' to his team but he needed to get them to get better. [color=ed1c24]"If you guys can't go along with that right now we can pick up tomorrow. Remember we only have a few more days until we get our ranks posted. As a long running generational team we got a lot on our shoulders. Celestial Star placed 12 last year I'd like to get around that number though I understand the pressure will be a lot on you guys."[/color] commented Bill as he looked at the assembled crew and breathed out deeply. [color=ed1c24]"I want to trust each and everyone of you is going to pull their own weight. If not then you have my permission to leave. I won't side line you for any reason other than we should rotate positions. However someone who is not willing to help the team out shouldn't be here. I'm not going to carry slackers into the top bracket. Not that I believe that I myself am that good but because I believe we have the components needed to be the best team in the league."[/color] Bill further stated giving his little speech wondering if it was working. [color=8882be]"With all due respect boss man we got quite the weird formation. Brawler, skirmisher, long range? No defender? No supporter? We're all offense. That means this will not be a cake walk but hey...you know I'm in for the long shot."[/color] Yasumi Masu commented flatly not especially motivated as he took a look at Rio wondering what was crawling up her butt right now. She didn't seem to particularly like being here so...why was she here? [color=ed1c24]"I get that which is why I'm asking everyone stay and help train with me."[/color] commented Bill as he folded his hands and bowed. [color=ed1c24]"If you will have me as your team captain then I am duty bound to give you my all."[/color] finished Bill as Yasumi whistled as he looked over his old buddy. [color=8882be]"Laying it on a bit thick there bucko?"[/color] Yasumi chuckled as one of the other students nearby looked over. [b]"Come on Atlas this ain't a freaking action anime. Stop acting like a weirdo people are looking."[/b] laughed the student as Bill straightened himself and blushed as he noticed a group of girls giggling at him and one of his old team mates rolling his eyes.
