Just seeing the Solaire through the windows of their shuttle told Zane that impressive as it was it was way too big for him to feel comfortable in. At least he was able to get the layout on his tablet so that he could always simply take the best route to his destination but staying at the massive ship still didn't feel like a good time.
As everyone else left the shuttle Zane took a few deep breaths to calm down as much as he could. When he and the other pilots finally left the shuttle themself he made sure to stay directly behind the large man he had been sitting next too and just stared at his back, instead of looking around. He hoped nobody would realize how nervous he was, or that he at least could hide the fact it was because of the number of people and size of the hangar.
Luckily it didn't take before the pilots were addressed by their commander Lieutenant Ritsu Kaname and professor Lorenzo. Going by first impressions Lorenzo seemed a lot more likeable but not as professional as Zane had been expecting, though his brothel comment did make Zane wonder if the professor was intentionally messing with the luitenant.
When Lieutenant Kaname mentioned House Korrin Zane winced slightly. He was all too aware that with his issues he only made it into Toivo because he was a Korrin and while he didn't do too terrible he never felt like he deserved to be there. Now that it was brought up he couldn't help but wonder if him being in the program was also more the work of a family member than his own skill.
At least he would get the chance to find out soon as it was revealed there was a battle simulation planned, but while Zane was relieved but nervous one of the other pilots, a girl also wearing the Toivo insignia, seemed to have a breakdown because of it. While Zane felt sorry for her he didn't judge her over it, having been in her position before. He wanted nothing more than to retreat to Goliath Buster's cockpit for a while but he approached the girl. It seemed one of the twins had the same idea and drew her attention to himself by nudging her so he could give her a thumbs-up.
"H...hey, it's okay. Just take slow deep breaths, like this." Zane showed what he meant by doing as he suggested, but potentially making things worse by staring at the girl so that he had something to focus on that wasn't the size of the hangar.
