A sigh at having to halt this conversation, but Henry Yatogami had been fighting pirates for as long as the other Pilots, at least most of them. So, he was going to act professional. When the alarms blared out, he fast-walked straight to the HFV Yukine, hopping into a lift that began floating faster than usual. Hopping into the cockpit and closing it, making sure that the interior was pressurized without a leak, Henry waited for the signal to go, go, go!

It came sooner than he expected, and with the other pilots, he was flying through the starlit void of space...to encounter an unusually large set of decomissioned US mechs and former terrorist HFVs; thirty of them - the enemy had numerical superiority. Henry began to regret his words about the OSDT's strength, but censured himself; he was going to show these Pirates that the OSDT was nothing to mess around with!

Trusting the others to hold the centre of the formation, Henry observed the enemy, reviewing what he knew about Bradleys and Rooks; Rooks were mostly ranged mechs, vulnerable to close combat, while Bradleys were the opposite, having few options for distance fighting. Nevertheless, he knew that his weak Assault Rifle would not do anything to this swarm, not as much as they can deal out, at any rate. He needed fancy tactics and maneuvers, maneuvers with the goal of getting him as close to as many vulnerable Rooks as possible.
