With the eye rolling incident of Larcen's oh so calm and controlled response, Hanna lifted her Focke-Wulf into the air with incredibly low expectations for her so called wingmen. The pilots of great incompetence were her company on today's mission, and while this was nothing entirely new for her, as sadly weakness ran through any institution, this particular group did not sit well with her. First and foremost was the aforementioned trigger happy Larcen who seemed about as competent as the horrific paint job he had done to an otherwise perfectly fine A6M3 "Zero". What probably angered her the most in regards to Larcen was his simple minded stupidity above all else. The phrase "Think before speaking." must not have even entered the same star system as him.
Secondly was the blond girl, Alex, a failure on several levels in just from her little history lesson before. Hanna had a hard time understanding how this blonde had even been able to properly maintain her otherwise lovely classic Spitfire with such incompetence. To Hanna, this is someone who she'd send to man a pillbox just behind the lines, just so that Hanna could quietly rid somebody when the enemy inevitably shelled such an easy target.
Lastly, at least so far, was Ken Yi, the asian pilot who apparently knew Larcen from a flight school. Now he was actually an interesting one, because while his character came off as somewhat sloppy and loose, his combat record proved otherwise. Yes, the others had decent records as well, but what was interesting was Ken's thoroughness in his job. Shooting parachutes and circling/strafing crashed enemy aircraft, while seemingly cruel, was necessary in these environments to completely eliminate the problem. Perhaps, in a different scenario, he would have made a decent candidate for the 105th Raider Squadron, maybe even a flight lead. At the very least, Ken was not as much as a lost cause as the other two for Hanna, but regardless, he was certainly not up to Hanna's standards.
However, Hanna's musings on her new found squadmates was abruptly cut short by Larcen's voice coming over comms.
"Hey so has anyone here flew against these Jersey Devils in New York before? Anything I should know about their skills in the air?" he asked to the group. A blunt question coming from a blunt mind, so Hanna simply sighed, and turned on her comms.
"Well, Tommy, if you had allowed yourself to be properly be briefed, perhaps you would not ask such basic questions. The so called 'Devils' are no more than street toughs with wings and will fight like such. Easily baited into stalling, crashing, or whatever trap you want to lead them into. The only thing these simple minded people have going for them is there brawn and primitive ferocity, not unlike what you bring to the table I presume." she finished with a smug smile.
Let's see how easily provoked this Tommy really is.
