"Fay, dearest, do you think you could take care of angling the ship?"
This question was as stupid as it sounded.
It took me four days of intense training to learn how to control the hovercraft in what was basically a tutorial mode for new pilots. With an entire set of planar movements out of the calculations I had to make to keep control, the technical difficulty of steering the maglev decreased by an entire dimension.
And here I was now, asking Fay who only ever got some limited experience piloting a buggy, if she wanted to take care of movements that easily confused the heck out of me when I got a glimpse of their complexity.
"In essence, it's not really all that complicated," I started on an encouraging note. "You will basically control the pitch, yaw, and roll of the ship in tandem with me keeping up the same controls I was at thus far."
