Yuna listened along as Scott addressed each question, nodding at his practical answer to Brightspark's question. As far as she was concerned, ethics were something you brought up on leave after a few too many drinks, not right before climbing into the cockpit. No time to think about that sort of stuff when you have a missile lock warning blaring at you.

[color=lightcoral][i]Oh god,[/i][/color] Yuna thought as Scott continued. [color=lightcoral][i][u]This[/u] squadron in Vegas? I can't even imagine."[/i][/color] She thought of Jefe and Brightspark especially...no telling what antics either of them would get up to in Sin City. But she hoped she'd get to find out.

With the briefing over, it was time to roll, and in short order she was back at her freshly refueled and rearmed Su-33. After exchanging a few words with her crew chief, she climbed into the cockpit. Checks and taxiing went by in a flash, and it was soon her turn to take off. Kat's A-10C had just left the tarmac, and seeing that beast of an aircraft always reminded Yuna just how diverse the aircraft in this squadron were. That's how she liked it...something different to look at, everywhere you looked.

One uneventful takeoff later, and Yuna slid in with the others at 5,000 feet.

[color=00a651]"Alright, Cobalt 5, 8, 10-you're riding with me. Here's how we break down the approach. Brightspark, we're on Wild Weasel duty. We focus on their facilities on the ground, kill any radar and then hit their runways, fuel trucks, hangars, anything they can use to get planes into the sky. Calico, Sparrow, you're in the air superiority fighters so you do what comes naturally. Anything that sniffs at me or Spark, make it rethink its actions. Remember, air defenses are last on our hitlist. Focus on shredding the priority targets and then getting away clean."[/color]

Yuna replied in kind to Fuka's professional demeanor. [color=lightcoral]"Roger Peacenik, we've got your back."[/color] It was still baked into her from her tenure at the RSAF, but a couple of her previous PMC employers had been sticklers about constant professionalism as well. She did not appreciate it in a PMC setting, as to her it was [color=lightcoral]"not that serious,"[/color] as she was known for saying to squadmates when bitching about it. But her ire was mostly derived from the insistence on maintaining military professionalism when on the ground in between ops, in order to stroke the young officers' egos. But flying the plane was the actual job, so she didn't mind treating it as such, even when it was coming from those same wannabe war heroes.

Thankfully, Fuka had none of the qualities she despised about those guys, so she had no complaints being professional to Fuka. Plus, she had a sneaking suspicion that Fuka would be the most fun to drink with in the entire squadron. She'd have to test that theory one day.
