::Apfen Terbar the new Commander of the X-Wing Undergrad Academy Section::
::stepped up to the podium. All the Cadets, including the new once, and::
::members of Alpha-Grey sitting there in silence. Some of them wondering::
::how Apfen would taste if fried, some of them don't knowing what to expect::
::next::
"To all of you sitting there, who will have to get along with me for at least 
a week, usually longer, I wish for you and for me that we will have a great 
time and more importantly a a productive time. As a the leader of this section
of the Academy I hope to give the best and most active pilots to the Squadrons.
The way as it is, the Flight 5, which is my Flight, has turned out some of the
most active Cadets, I don't know how, because I'm sure the rest of Alpha-Grey has
tries just as hard as I am. From my Alpha-Grey Pilots, I expect just that, to try
to give the best example to the Cadets and turn out the best we've ever seen.
To the Cadets, I expect that you be active, that you do as you are told, and that
you follow the lead of Alpha-Grey."
::When Apfen appeared to be finished with his short and simple speech, alot::
::of the pilots rose, most of the Cadets::
"Excuse me Gentelmen where are you going?"
::They sat down again. Those in the gangways stumbled to get back as quickly::
::as possible::
"Well, all I wanted to tell you that we are flying a training mission today.
Briefing at 1230 here, dismissed"

::2 hours later in the grand briefing room::
::The sun was much higher at this time of day, and the light fell through the::
::big opening at the top of the room, of the Rebel base at Dantooine. With this::
::lighting it was hard to see anything on the holodisplay::
"Today ladies and gentelmen, we will fly a training mission. Since we were flying
most of our times in a simulator, this will be something special for you. This
time you'll fly in real Fighters. I know that some of you guys, especially the very
new Cadets are some hotshots, that tend to start to shoot at everything that moves.
So just to let it be known, we do have a remote self-destruct mechanism installed on 
the fighters, so if anybody of you wants to get crazy...go ahead and make my day!"
::A big smiles appear on the faces of Alpha-Grey...the exactly opposite with the Cadets::
"We have some holo-projectors deployed out there, that will make it appear to be real.
To the misson"
::The holo-projector flickers to live, also it can't be seen::
"This mission recreates an attack on some smugglers and pirates. It was carried out by
Marauder Squadron shortly after the first Death Star was destroyed. Destroy everything 
big there is and return home. This mission isn't very hard, it's just suppost to give
you the feeling of real Space flight."
::on the far back, one of the new Cadets raised his arm::
"Yes?"
"We can't see anything on the holo-projector because of the light."
"You don't need to. Everything important has been said. Report to your
flight leaders, they will brief you on anything else if needed"
::As the Cadets filed out of the room, all of Grey came together to Apfen::
"Tell us...was that true with the self destructing mechnism?" asked Juho
"If yes, how can we activate it?" came the next question of Matt
"No, no...just something to scare them" came form Apfen, followed by a big grin.
"But I think we definitly should build that in" mentioned Ion
"Yea with a cool voice coming up: You fighter will selfdestruct in 5...4...3 seconds"
"That would be a blast"
"I'll think about it" said Apfen, "and now get to your Cadets, and don't forget to
let them make push-ups if they don't report in"
"Just like the good old time" came form Juho followed by laughs form the other Greys...
