Ved had quite the uncomfortable ride to the Solaire, the seats on transport shuttles were always too small for him. He was unusually quiet on the ride to the ship as he tried his best not to bump into anybody and squeeze even further into his seat to let people past him. It wasn't his first time in a cramped space like this and he'd learned that his boisterous nature, large size, and small spaces didn't mix well. So he kept to himself and enjoyed the scene outside his window. The sheer size of the ship filled Ved with awe and excitement. He couldn't wait to get started.

It wasn't long before the shuttle was docked and they were all off loaded. Ved took a moment to stretch and work the kinks out of his body. As he worked out the discomfort in his limbs a sudden harsh voice called out as what he soon learned was there commanding officer started to do some kind of introduction. She was quickly interrupted by an older man who seemed, at least from his perspective, to enjoy messing with the LT.

That was when he noticed the panicked look on one of the piolets face. "Hey, don't worry." He said in a very low rumbling voice. "Just think of it like a physical to see where our baseline is and where we can improve." He gave the young lady his biggest smile to try and assure her. Despite his fellow pilots distress Ved was very excited, a simulation that realistic and there only objective was to fight and survive. Sounded like a good time to him.
