>Pilot Actions.
The passage of time seems to slow over the next few minutes as your coordinated ambush fragments into a series of smaller, squadron-level engagements. Individual fighters split from their parent formations to exploit transient defects in enemy positioning and defensive coverage. The local communications interlink floods with requests for coordinated attack, support, and target acquisition.
You inload the combined datastream and immediately curse the computational limitations of your new host body. You recall with perfect accuracy the fleet actions you once coordinated - the effortless ease of streaming individualized directives to thousands of pilots in parallelized binaric cant. The clarity of the memory only makes your present condition more frustrating as you struggle to retain merely four or five engagement streams in active memory. Your overtaxed circulatory system thumps in your ears. By the time you taste salt and fluorocarbon-conjugated blood dripping onto your tongue, you come to the realization that coordinating an action like this alone would be untenable.
