Operation Perpetuus Praesentia is the directive given for the Zoners affiliated with the Ingenuus Research Group to form an essential task force under the direction and command of Doctor James Erzie. At the start of this project, noted crew members were far from combat ready with the task of becoming combat specialists and experts. Because the Zoner community is slim in unified numbers, the crew is also tasked with learning and perfecting the nature of squadron and fleet combat, as well as serving a proficient amount of competence as a lone unit and single vessel.
The first step the Research Group took was to request training aboard a militarized Core vessel to perfect strategies around a light, agile capital ship variant. Already well versed in combat using heaviest variants, aboard the Colony Ship Itherael, it was a new task learning to extend distance and use marksmanship to use weapons effectively. This would also require seamless cohesion between gunners and helmsman to successful manage distance between vessel and target to effectively give the helmsman enough time to avoid incoming fire, as well as allow the gunners to be as close to the target as possible, to allow for the highest accuracy on target. Though this management is a mutually applied skill between lone-wolf and fleet strategies, the versatility of the skill makes it essential to perfect.
Training Day

Once the Crew arrived at Alabama Shipyard and boarded the Core retired "Mako"-class vessel the "Battleshark," the crews worked side by side with a short orientation period for each member of the crew to become accustomed to the controls and agility of the vessel. Using standard control schemes, there was little doubt that their training would become universal, once perfected. The helmsman trained first, making numerous maneuvers while guided by the operators of the Perditrix, giving plenty of time for the crew to be ready for the tight maneuvers that would be performed in combat.

Maneuvering training was nearly all-inclusive, with mines being added to the equation for extra risk, although they lacked the significance to truly do anything even the aged hull on the "Battleshark." After the orientation, several exercises were executed and the crew was enlightened to new strategies straight from the Commanders of the Core. For the purpose of this documentation, the specifics of details pertaining to the combat and fleet strategy have been redacted to provide a level of informational security to the Core. Additional logs on the interactions between the crews can be viewed here.
Training Continued throughout the day, exercising distance, power core drain, and fleet position management, which all came to a close at the end of the day. The Zoner crews moved back to the Itherael, taking time to rest and recuperate. As the dining hall was set, Doctor Erzie invited the Core crews, and all who wished to attend to a banquet to at least accommodate healthy social interactions between the two factions. Many different beverages were provided, with the exception of whiskey, which seemed to mysteriously vanish. A string of very mixed interactions occurred, but the environment remained healthy for a high level of ideological debate among those who valued thought, as well as a level comradery for the newly associated crews. The Zoner crews showed due respect for the experience the Core crews possessed, and many among the Core treated their Zoner counterparts as fresh meat for the grinder, giving them all due guff and trouble for their incompetence, but this was not in ill spirit.

With the closing of the feeding hour, the Crews departed from the hall, to which the personnel responsible cleaned and reset the hall for the next occasion, leaving only the the Doctor, his helmsman, and the Core officials to discuss strategy and proficiency for the coming political situation. This would be the last banquet for some time, as training was to be the primary focus of their visit.
