8.35  [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]…”
8.35  “[Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]…”
8.35  “[Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]…”
8.35  “[Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]. [Fighter Pilot]…”
9.19  “They…would also like you to make one of my Goblins gain a class. Redscar said, ‘if she can make a [Knight], she should make a [Fighter Pilot].’ Kevin told him about it. Idiot.”
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  All the room in the world. Fightipilota’s aircraft came screaming at the canyon walls as her pursuers dived, still death-shrieking as they followed. The [Fighter Pilot] was reloading her turret when someone kicked her in the head. She ignored the blow, triggering the reserve fuel and urging the airplane to keep dead ah—
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  “You’re not a [Fighter Pilot]! You’re a Redfang [Warrior] and a Level 14 [Aerial Flier]!”
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  “You’re not a [Fighter Pilot]. That’s not a class, Fighti.”
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  But sometimes, a Goblin had to care. Fightipilota hoped she’d hit Level 20 soon. Maybe then she’d be a [Fighter Pilot].
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  Fightipilota would never become a [Fighter Pilot]. Sorry. To her, in specific, and the world in general, if there was anyone else rooting for her. Lots of Redfangs were. It was just the facts; no need to get emotional about it. Facts couldn’t hurt your feelings.
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  Consider it logically: [Fighter Pilot] was a class that couldn’t be consolidated into from the classes Fightipilota had. [Aerial Flier] appeared like a straight line to that…but it wasn’t.
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  Fightipilota had to have a machine to fly. Now, the Grand Design had done its research. It knew from Earthers what a plane was. It knew the history, the complexity, the nuance, and it wasn’t happy about having to deny Fightipilota’s earnest wishes, but you could not get a class like [Fighter Pilot] just by wishing hard enough.
Goblin Days (Pt. 2) — The Pilot and the Knight  Anyone could change and do something interesting. But no [Fighter Pilot]. Nevermind, nevermind. It was one tiny part of the Grand Design’s massive awareness, and it didn’t feel bad for her at all.
10.25 MG  So, one short Goblin was peering into the different doors, muttering grumpily about not finding the doors she wanted. Rags scowled at Fightipilota, and Goblinhome’s best flier stopped searching for fates in which she became a real [Fighter Pilot].
10.34 MGF  Sometimes, you had to hate the system. She knew she shouldn’t really get the [Fighter Pilot] class she’d dreamed of, and it wouldn’t have been fair—but sometimes, it just sucked. All these levels and Skills made you so tired. Because each time you levelled, you knew you did good. When you didn’t level, you felt like you did bad.
10.34 MGF  She had never been given her [Fighter Pilot] class, because she hadn’t earned it. Desire wasn’t enough. Maybe you could become an [Emperor] with the right ego, will, and conditions met. But such dreams weren’t for Goblins.
10.34 MGF  “Wait—I’ve got a [Fighter Pilot]!”
10.34 MGF  [Fighter Pilot] is the best we’ve got. You can’t get the class without flying three missions and seeing combat—do you have any experience with the Redwing aircraft, miss?”
10.34 MGF  “I designed those craft because I was a [Fighter Pilot] when you were sucking on your toes. I stepped off the front because prosthetic limbs weren’t reacting fast as flesh-and-blood, but every plane I put up in the skies is meant to save everyone’s lives. Don’t lecture me on what this job is. Do. You. Understand?”
10.34 MGF  They turned back to the unnamed [Fighter Pilot], and the [Chief Researcher] jerked her head.
