"As for your win, just be glad you weren't in a Mako." Lieutenant Grey 
Wolf said.

"Ma'am if we were in Mako's, the fight would have ended the same, we'd 
have just used different tactics.  The MK III AI allowed us to process 
much more information than we could in the Mako.  And with the 
predictive algorithms, it gives us a leg up over pretty much anyone out 
there that we know of.  Including our own pilots.  They don't know the 
full potential of the MK III, and truth be told, I'm not sure I do." 
Montero paused.

"Its a good thing we have Snoopy here, since he was on the design team 
and has been flying them pretty much since the prototype," he said.  "I 
think there are some tweaks we could do, and I'd love to get a geek to 
talk about the AI and see if we can improve it any.  Best way I can 
think of doing that is for the three of us to run a bunch of 
simulations, with us flying against each other, to give the computer 
more data," he turned to Corday, "did you ever get access to any 
training videos from Viper? "

(reply Grey Wolf, Corday)

Vic turned to Dyson, "The Lieutenant isn't wrong, you showed some 
flashes of brilliance out there kid, stick with us and we'll polish you 
us.  Believe it or not, Snoopy and I weren't born this good.  Your the 
new nugget, so you'll get ribbing, don't be afraid to give it back, and 
one more important thing, if we're not ribbing you, worry.  That means 
we've decided you're not worth our time anymore.  Oh, and one more 
thing, I think we might want to use some of those fantasy fighters you 
like to fly in simulations too.  They have different performance 
characteristics from the ones we know of, so it might help hone the AI 
by presenting unknowns it has to analyze."

(reply Dyson, any)

"I'm heading to Mars tomorrow, but I'll be back on 2446.03.25.  If 
you're up for it kid, lets dogfight."

(reply Dyson, any)
