The JASDF, the air/space branch of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. Among such a defence is a high-tech specialised force codenamed the EAF, or 'Evangelion Air Force' - this team who pilot fighter jets that have been discontinued but retrofitted with...
Down at the Imperium, the EAF pilots were yet again doing the tests on the artificial intelligence autopilot system that will be installed into their aircraft. All of them sat in their simulator cockpits while in their flight suits and helmets, all of them going through their tests.
"All harmonics and vitals are stable. Data collection is proceeding nicely." Maya now informs back to Ritsuko. "Type-A.I harmonics test, results normal. Adjusted depth values have all been met."

Misato and Ritsuko both look at the Synchronisation of the other pilots. For Nick, Dante, and Asuka, their synchronous levels were around 78-93%, which the two women consider impressive, especially considering that those three pilots have been flying their planes for longer. Warren, meanwhile, his synchronous levels are reading at 82%, so it's considered at a great reading. For Betty, her synchronous levels are at 66%, so set at a good level. Belle had a chance to do her synchronous test earlier on, and she sat at 70%. For Braedey, on the other hand...
"Braedey's synchronous levels are down to 17%." Maya now informed to Ritsuko and Misato, the two women taking a look at the scans on the screens. "No change at all from last time. But dropped by three percent."
"Oh, dear. That doesn't look good." Ritsuko muttered softly. "At this rate, he might not be able to get the A.I Autopilot system working at all inside his craft in order to assist him."
Inside of his simulator cockpit, Braedey sat there as he was contemplating the situation with the new pilots and about his current situation as being here, along with a lot more on his mind as he felt his head going through mental gymnastics to try and get himself into a rhythm. He hadn't felt like this since he had to take a very length test back in elementary school. He didn't know of what to think or how he's going to handle this...
"Braedey, it's Ritsuko. Can you hear me?" Ritsuko's voice snapped Braedey from his thoughts. "You're making a lot of background noise, and it's hampering your synchronous. You need to focus and clear your mind." She told him.
"I'm trying. I really am." Braedey muttered. "It's not the easiest thing for me to do."
"Take it easy on the kid. He may have been here on the base and part of the team for only a month or two, but he's still got a lot to work to do." Belle said to both Misato and Ritsuko.
"Maybe, but he has a lot of area for improvement." Misato spoke back. "The flying is getting better, but the real question is how he performs in combat-related conditions."
"Are you sure that's wise?" Maya inquired in concern.
"We have to make sure they're sharpshooters." Misato stated calmly. "Ritsuko..."
Ritsuko nodded before she contacted the pilots. "Okay everyone. Well done." She and the others hear the group of pilots sigh and relax in relief. "Now, be ready in 1 minute. We're preparing the simulators for combat-related events."
