Play Me during scene

"Come on..."
My sweaty hands grab the controls. I've seen them do this. They just grab and go.
"Come on... Come on..."
They're coming now. I can hear them shouting outside.
My hands won't stop shaking. But I won't let go.
My teeth are grinding together, and my jaw is locking up so much it hurts.
But I can't stop! This is my only chance to escape!
"Work, Damnit! Work!" I say between my clenched teeth and hissed breathing.
"You're surrounded, you damned Remnant! Give up, and get out of the ship. You can't hide."
Hide? Did they really think I was just 'hiding' inside this fighter?
Shaking hands are holding dual joysticks tightly, as I realized they didn't even think I could fly.
Could I fly though? Did I just not have it me?
I am an American Airman.
I'm just a maintainer... I fix things, I can't-
I am a Warrior.
Can I really do this?
I have answered my nations call.
"I am...an American Airman..."
Bio-link Established.
"My mission... is to FLY-"
Lights danced across the panels of the ship, as it came to life in my grip. I could feel my jaw relaxing, even as I continued the Creed.
"-FIGHT-"
The cannons fired, and blew away the guards. The feeling of the gun's powered gave me an incredible rush! Was this the 'Sympathy' they spoke of?
"And WIN!"
The engines warmed up, the heat seeping into my back, even as I was pushed back into it by the G-forces.
"WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!"

Gaahh... That did not come out how I wanted it to.
I need to work on my writing... alot.
Gist of snippet: I'm hijacking an empathic ship. I can't get it to start, as it apparently requires something special from it's user before it'll go. Also, I'm using the beginning of the Airman's Creed, not something awesomely original, but I've been seeing the poster whenever I look up from my computer, so I felt compelled to work it in for some reason.
If Kurt was going to get a Reality Marble, the Creed would be his chant. Mostly because I'm too lazy to go original.
