-Arcadia, AIF-

Amid the bustle of activity as one of the AIF's largest cities is being reconstructed, an airliner of American registry touches down at an airport. Among the passengers disembarking is American rear admiral Albert Calavicci. He has traveled to the Imperial Alliance for training in space combat, a skill he has relatively little training in as a primarily surface officer. With America's aerospace fleet growing in strength, and with surface warfare beckoning less relevant, Calavicci has opted to take training abroad.

After passing through customs, Calavicci is met by an aerospace division officer. The officer, a young looking lieutenant, escorts Calavicci to a waiting staff car. The officers are soon driven to Arcadia Aerospace Base, where he they are met by IMG guards. After certifying that Calavicci was unarmed, he is admitted to the base. A man in a commodore's uniform greets him.

"Greetings admiral Calavicci, I am commodore Willard Greenwood, commandant of the Arcadia Aerospace Academy. I will be overseeing your instruction in aerospace combat. You will be taking your course alongside many IKN captains and flag officers, who are being transferred to aerospace assignments. You will be quartered here on base. As instruction continues, you will be granted access to bridge combat simulators, where you will be tested against computer and live opponents. Any questions?"

Calavicci ponders for a moment, then replies.

""If there's a crisis back home, how long will it take to get me back?"

Greenwood replies: "Should you be needed by the United States, a ship will provide you with a suborbital transit back to the States. Should such resources be not in use, our own situation centers can be put at your disposal for remote command. Is that satisfactory admiral?"

Calavicci: "Yes commodore, that will do nicely."

The admiral is led off to his quarters to begin training...

OOC: No offense to American military prowess, but in RP, they aren't very practiced in modern aerospace tactics, particularly with the big stuff. This also will give me an IC reason in case my tactics seem too close to AIF tactics.
