If nothing else, my own sessions have been a moment of peace. I still don't want to pilot one of my own masterpieces in combat, but when it's just me and my MEK in the hangar, I feel like I can finally relax.
It's not just that I've been working long hours. I did that plenty of times on the Gateway Project, and our TEK bomb before then. It's that I'm working long hours and dealing with people at the same time, all the time. The pilot sessions have been getting better, but running everything else on top of that?
"Santiago, a water pipe broke. Santiago, so and so is hogging all the ammo." Constant interruptions.
Maybe I'll just hide in the cockpit and nap for a while. No one would know...
