 Interesting! I've never been in space, (even the Portal's ground level), hell, other than the training on the Elgin's property, I've never been more than a few hundered meters off the surface, so I can't rightly say that I understand what it would be like for you to be "Grounded", except that it must be hard, or they wouldn't use it as punishment.
Still, I wonder... What was it like, your first time on another world, For you, I mean.
For me, it's been kind of fun, the gravitational gradient's prettly low, and I feel like a "Supergirl" in comparison (as long as I take my vitamins, otherwise I feel like (Censored), achy all over...) to how I normally function.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Well, to me, and to all the other pilots I know, the worst part of being ground-bound is being ground-bound. Not flying. We still have to keep up with regs and training films and stuff, but no air time. Hardly anyone ever prangs planes, because no one wants to be grounded for any length of time. It's a loss of face; it's a loss of unit bond time; and it's a loss of skill, to a certain extent. It's never happened to me, and the last guy I know who did it was so humiliated by it that he blew his own brains out. I don't think I'd be that humiliated, but you never know. I can't say cause it hasn't happened to me.As to the other world question, the first time I went into space, it was a real thrill. I had the sweaty palms, the pounding heart, the whole bit. But then my whole life has been leading up to this. I could fly before I could drive, and I always knew what I wanted to do. The first other world I set foot on was Maragon, which is like a freaking huge ice cube. They're in the middle of an ice age, right now (which they claim was caused by some ancient sorcerer or some such crap), and that place was a nightmare. It never gets really cold, on Exedra, so I had no idea what it would be like. The wind was like a billion tiny knives, and it went right through our thermocoats!! They also have pretty light gravity, even lighter than Erosia's, so I got that euphoric feeling they warned us we'd get. I actually passed out on the tram, going up one of their humongous ice mountains. It was a wild experience. Maragon was a really beautiful place, because of all the ice and snow, and the way the lights played off of it, but I don't want to go back, if I can help it. It's too *censored* cold!!But if you ever get the chance to go into the deep, go. It's like a weird dream, floating along inside this ship through the darkness. We have artificial gravity on Akagi, but not on the fighters. They're pressurized, though. That's only for emergencies, and it's not a normal level of pressure. It's there in case the o2 system fails, and it keeps enough o2 circulating in the cockpit to keep us alive long enough to get back to the carrier. Yeah, I like being in space. Even though it gets kind of lonely, sometimes, and you get tired of seeing the same old faces every day, you feel like these people are family. We got bonds between us that other people just can't understand.Oh yeah!! And going through the jumpgate!! That's an experience, too. You get used to it, after a while, but at first it's real stressful. All kinds of weird forces tugging your innards every which way, all at once. It only lasts a few minutes, but it's weird as all hell.

Please notice I'm not constantly calling you "Gorilla," even though I'd be totally justified in doing so. The onus is on you, now. You can choose to be polite, or you can choose to continue to be a prick. I don't really care which you choose, but know that your choice will only reflect on you, and not on me.Furthermore, I think after suffering through all this pain and humiliation, I deserve to be petted. It's petty of you to be jealous of me, and it isn't at all becoming. If you'd truly like to trade places for the next couple of months, I'd gladly do it. <IMG SRC="http://www.kyokipress.com/images/icons/smile.gif"> Genjiro<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yeah. Whatever. You are such a *censored* snobby little *censored!!!* You ain't got a *censored* thing I'm jealous of, kid.Oh yeah, and what you deserve is to have your butt kicked right off that high houdah of yours. One of these days, you're gonna run into a guy who doesn't give a *censored* about losing his rank, and he's gonna beat the holy stink outta you. I just wish to God it was me!! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

BOYS!!! (perfect "mom" tone- taught by the best in the business) Up till now, I've been respecting of BOTH your ranks, in spite of the fact that neither of you is actually IN my chain of command. (reaches over, grabs Max by the right ear, and Genjiro by his left, pulls them close right in front of her) listen up, we're here, to have FUN!!! No more sniping, or comparing situations, when you ought to be recreating. Now, Max? see that blonde over there, no, not the one in the glasses, the good looking one? She's got Fifty-two confirmed air to air kills in nine conflicts, Now, she ain't got a date, and, other than Kaichi, nobody else besides you is even remotely qualified to keep her busy, and I don't want her drinking the whole fragging Liquor supply, you be a nice lil' pilot, and go talk to her. ( releases Max) Now, Genjiro, I wanna know something, (have I got your attention yet?) Can YOU DANCE? I wanna dance, dammit!

AWWW CRAP! (comes back, rubbing jaw...) MAX! Your Crew-Chief's got a MEAN left-hook! (takes note of situation) Has she been- Crud, Kai! Carolyne's been in the Liquor supplies, hasn't she? (sighs heavily, shakes head) CAROLYNE! QUIT MOLESTING THAT MAN!!! (Laughs, shakes head, and passes drinks to Ash and Jazz) personally, I think her aversion to glasses comes from the fact that I, her Boss, wear glasses, or maybe she wants Cathy to quit moping around. (Pours Kaichi a pint from the tap, of very Dark Beer.) House Special, Sir. You run a good party, but keep an eye on some of the guests...(Not that I can Order Carolyne to stop...UGH!! she's a woman, and women are like cats- they do what they want.) I think I'll take over bartending duties, that way I can keep MY people from embarassing me in front of Your People, Kai.

As a matter of fact, I think glasses look cute on girls. Some of the girls in Edo wear glasses as a fashion, whether they need them or not. But you should always take good care of your eyes, because you can't replace them!! Well, theoretically, you could replace them, if you lived in my time, but it's not really the same thing. I think. Oh, never mind. I'm too depressed, now, to be of any help in cheering other people up. I'm sorry for being so useless.***mopes***Genjiro
