After not faring so well against the Geno Breaker last time, this time they brought in Colonel Halford, used to work with Major Dan Flyheight (Van's Father), Halford is a complete jerk and lacks respect for anyone below him. He does have one good point that makes up for his ugly face, he is a Geno Breaker specialist. He analyzed all the aspects of the Geno Breaker, for example, it has a window of 1:05 seconds before it can recharge after the first Particle Beam. It also needs 5.33 seconds to charge the Particle Beam. In their strategy, they want to neutralize the foot locks of the Geno Breaker so it can't fire its Particle Beam. But what he doesn't realize is the Geno Breaker can fire from the air as well, it can use it thrusters mounted on the back, where the Pulse Laser Cannons used to be, and boost and it wouldn't need a recoil because its in the air. Then, Thomas, Irvine and Van do some exercise and keep doing those over and over.
