Arcturus woke up to his alarm, ending his pre-mission nap. Shutting off the alarm, he brought his MS out of stand-by as the General Norema's captain signaled his team that it was time to deploy. Halvard ordered Sigma to get moving, and Arcturus put his MS in motion. The 5 pilots went into space transferred to the assigned transport in the convoy they were escorting. The Norema accompanied them until they started to re-entry. As they descended through the atmosphere, Arcturus radioed the rest of Sigma on the team channel as he fiddled with his Scroll, calling up a program to download into the computers of Sigma's MS.

"So, Sigma. Part of the tech the SMC gave the UEG was a new MS control system. We're all wearing it besides Aurea, whose motion capture suit probably works similarly. The standard-issue SMC combat suit has been upgraded to include sensors to read the pilot's nerve signals, allowing MS to be operated at the speed of thought if they use the nerve-to-machine translator software. I'm downloading that to your MS, now, actually. Please don't start calibrating it till we're groundside, okay? What's more important is that there's also Aura-reading sensors in place as well, meant to work with the artificial Aura generators we anticipated that the UEG was working on. Combined with a cockpit like Aurea's and a custom MS, we can take the pilot's fighting style and even Semblance, and replicate it on a much larger scale. This will also allow the UEG to expand it's base of skilled pilots, with a much shorter learning curve than with traditional MS control systems. Due to our training in both fields, the SMC is sending a team to the factory to train the initial batch of new pilots. I'll help them while Sigma's own prototype MS are built.", Arcturus explained.
