The next morning Kathy McDaniels was sitting at a table in one of the hangers while the oil drillers filtered in and saw her and immediately made a beeline for her.

"So what's a pretty girl like yourself sitting at a table meant for us roughnecks?" One of the men asked with a grin that made her feel like she was in a porno.

"You must be Rockhound." Kathy mentioned getting out her laptop and starting to work from one of the binders and quickly jacked into the space shuttle Independence.

"Looks like somebody warned her about you Rock." Harry Stamper grinned sitting beside her. While a black haired man and a blonde haired man got into a mini-argument as to sitting on the other side of her. "So you're joining us in the training right?" Harry asked curiously and Kathy nodded.

"Good morning, my name is Colonel Willie Sharpe." Will greeted the group of oil drillers and one computer technician. He watched her keep an ear for what he was saying but also kept working on a laptop and also the binders on the table. "In addition to flying one of the X-71 teams to that rock, my job is to train you how to deal with the mental and physical riggers of working in space so you don't freak out on the asteroid. United States astronauts train for years. You have twelve days. Do we have any intelligent questions before we get started?"

The man sitting beside Kathy raised his hand and Will nodded to him.

"What's an X-71?"

"For god's sake he literally 'just' said that he was piloting one of them to the asteroid! What the hell do you think they are?!" Kathy glared at the man who looked down embarrassedly but he was hiding a smirk. She look over at Will Sharpe and caught the slight smirk on his face.

Chick Chapel leaned behind the girl and looked at Harry.

"I like this one Harry…" He admitted making Harry nod with a silent laugh.

"So yeah why exactly do we have one extra person?" The black haired man that had fought with the blonde one asked.

"Considering I built and programmed the computers inside the shuttles, it'd be a good idea to have me onboard yeah?" Kathy asked sarcastically surprising the other men at the table.

After they were done in the hanger the group of oil riggers and one computer technician were sent outside to the tarmac. Kathy looked at the planes and felt a smirk crossing her face as she looked at the pale faces of the roughnecks. Colonel Willie Sharpe saw the smirk and scowled at the group.

"I want to wipe that damn smirk off of her face." He grumbled to Chuck who scoffed.

"Too bad kid, I got her this round." Chuck chuckled before looking at the other pilots. "So who wants to lay the bets?"

"I got Stamper, so he may or not blow chunks." Will looked at the leader. "That one they call Max, most definitely. Which ones do you think will scream like little girls?" He asked and he heard Max Davis approach.

"All of them minus McDaniels, she looks like she's about to orgasm in excitement." He remarked noticing how excited the computer technician appeared.

"We'll see how excited she is, after 'I' get her in my plane." Chuck grinned and Davis cringed.

The pilots went to grab their respected targets and Will Sharpe glared at how eagerly McDaniels grabbed Chuck's arm and started towards his jet.

"Well what are we waiting around here for?!" Kathy shouted in glee and practically dove into the backseat.

"I ain't going easy on you just because you're a girl…" Chuck warned her as he started his flight sequence and heard a snort in his radio.

"Trying to make me puke huh?" Kathy asked and saw his head drop slightly in front of her. "Probably should mention that I've survived England's Vomit Comet."

Chuck's eyes went wide when he heard that but she continued talking.

"Russian's Silver Bullet, Germany's Gut Dropper." Kathy kept mentioning some of the fastest clocked simulator's and propulsive jets. "I can keep naming them…" She taunted the man slightly and he shook his head and laughed in disbelief.

"Sharpe wants to wipe the smirk off of your face." Chuck admitted and Kathy smirked. "Sounds like you're going to wipe the one off of his."

Chuck shot into the air with a sharp whoosh and Kathy laughed in delight. During the tricks he was doing Kathy huffed in laughter.

"You know, I could hack into your plane right now, and fly from the backseat right?"

After an hour everybody landed and Kathy sprang from the plane grinning even wider than when she had gone in. Chuck watched her bound away with an excited bounce to her step. He let out an amused huff of laughter then he cringed hearing liquid hitting the tarmac. He looked over and saw Will Sharpe shaking vomit off of his arm. He snorted in laughter at the disgusted look on the younger man's face.

"So got Stamper huh?" He taunted Will who glared over at him. "Mine didn't even get sick. She's been on the Vomit Comet, the Silver Bullet, and the Gut Dropper." Chuck shouted over to him and Will scowled even more.
