You were still early. "Well since you are here there is no point in wasting time. Hop in and we'll take the bad boy for a spin round the block." She points to a door, you recognized it, it would lead to the locker rooms. The same ones as your first time linking. Rushing off you climbed into your dive suit and squared away your own clothes. Making a mental note to get your jacket back from Anthony. Pilot Waemi had already linked, her Sabre type squatting down by your own Phobos. She seemed to be inspecting the exterior hull, observers tracing the lines and groves. "Hurry it up Pilot." The woman admonished you through her external speakers. Gingerly you climb the rickety stairway and stand before the Umbral Core.
You couldn't see where
She was so you climbed in. Using the same method as before the cool orb absorbed you without any issues. Falling forward you did a flip before settling within the center of the core. Instinctively your mind began to run sequences and instantly the machine responded. Faster than you had expected. External feeds snap on as the hiss and click of the core descending into the body takes place. "Very nice. Let see what you can really do." Waemi said through the LO comms, the vibrations felt in your teeth and the base of your spine. You feel the controls slip into sync with your mind, a sudden weight taking place there. Eyes open and the world is before you, the senior pilot was beside you. Down the bay you could spot the other pilots linking. Happily you watched other staff and workers go about managing the materials within the large area. "Nest Control, Free PD2 over." You hear her speak over the Hi comms, a short reply comes from control as your core feels the latches snap open. "It would be pretty embarrassing if you fell over right now huh?" The woman teased, you ignored it and took your first step. It felt light and floaty. The control is not as tight as when you were naked.
