The First Lieutenant lowers their rifle and just rappels down from the kneeling MS, the Pilot of it coming down through the Strike's own service rappeling cords.
A curious fact coming to Mu's mind as he recalled the simulation training the Hidalgo had running for all these test pilots.
"A Kid?" He commented as the Civilian pilot looks over to their handcuffed friends.
"H-hey, Let them go, I did what you asked-!" The young man soon found themselves at gunpoint as the woman in the jumpsuit held their handgun towards them.
"After you threatened service members and your friends tried taking me down? I wasn't playing nice when I mentioned all of you were detained from seeing military secrets. Neither am I letting my guard down after that stunt." Mu widened their eyes at the fierce accusation the woman dropped on them all.
Case in point, the Young man was cuffed as well, though in the process allowing you to close the distance as the disgruntled first lieutenant watched.
"Fancy piloting over there, I kind of remember the same test pilots for the program struggling hard at simulations to even get it to move, but you? <span class="mu-i">You're a bona-fide natural at it.</span>" Mu did not expect for the Lieutenant, still holding a submachinegun over their shoulder to glare at them.
"Grenel could manipulate one just right, the damn software was defective." His response made Mu wary about the topic, but... <span class="mu-i">It wasn't something he could ignore either</span>.
"He was the one on the green one, right? Smooth moves from him... <span class="mu-i">A bit too smooth now that I remember</span>" Mu acknowledged the landmine he almost stepped in as he looked back "But I'm getting distracted, Kid. You're good... Too good for your first time, but for the sake of getting to the point... <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">You're a Coordinator, Aren't you?</span></span>"
