Just like when they transported to the Chimera from the Godzilla (aka Halcyon) the fighters were attached to the hull of the Chimera through their maglocks during the entire trip through the wormhole. That was an experience IRIS had never had. It was ‘interesting’. Not that they could see anything, the Templar fighters had no windows, but the readings on the displays were something else.

In the cockpits of the Templar Class Marine Fighters of the 214 alpha squadron, the lights went red and an automated voice said =/\= Wormhole jump complete. Prepare for deployment. =/\=

IRIS hit her comms, =/\=Delta squadron check-in=/\= She was a member of Col. Lardel’s alpha squadron, but she was leader of Delta. In the hanger bay of the Chimera, her squad was awaiting orders to load and deploy Col Cull’s Raiders battalion. Beta squadron, their SAR teams, was already loaded and prepared to deploy should they find anyone or anything once they cleared the wormhole.

M’alek did one last cross check ensuring all systems were green, the recalibration had been a huge success, he was now in love with the templar it felt more like an exo suit than a space fighter, an extension of himself almost. =/\= “Delta Tree up and ready” =/\= he responded over coms expecting to release the mag locks.

Quickly every aviator and support team in Delta responded at the ready. She acknowledged each and then opened her comm to Lardel’s fighter, =/\=Delta squadron at the ready Colonel.=/\= The whole while, IRIS was watching her display, making note of the ships in the fleet and keeping an eye out for anything moving towards them.

OOC: Not sure what position I’m in so just picked one assuming I was not head of Delta ;)

OOC: We have 4 squads. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta. Lardel is head of Alpha and all squad leaders are also part of his squad. They are also specialized tactics

Beta is our search and rescue

Gamma was never specifically decided.

Delta is ground troop deployment and coverage. Take your pick.

OOC So I’m clear in my head :)

Alpha CAP (Combat Air Patrol)?
Beta SAR (Search and Rescue)?
Gamma , Might I recommend SEAD and/or TacAir (STRIKE) squadron? SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) TacAir or STRIKE (Target Strike Teams) (The F18s in Maverik would have been a strike (TacAir) team.
Delta CAS (Close Air Support)

Note that Often Alpha, Gamma, Delta would all be working in a sort of dance to get the job done, CAP takes the Air Space, SEAD takes out the air defences, strike hits opportunity and tactical targes. CAS covers the landing/boarding teams.

I’ll take Delta and give the ground pounders some love.

All of that is up to James to decide. He’s the marine CO. But Delta is taken. That’s IRIS’s squad.
