Alternative Tactics, Wednesday Period 1, 05/09

Sarah Kerrigan stood in the middle of an empty Danger Shop, wearing a simplified version of the Ghost armor. She had a serious expression on her face.

"Hey, kids," she said, "Welcome to Alternative Tactics, which is a pretty poor grouping name for a bundle of skills and knowledge you're going to need on the battlefield when you don't have a large army at your back and the bad guys seem to be holding most of the cards. Situations where ingenuity, resource management, stealth and superior maneuvering can save the day."

"I'm Lieutenant Kerrigan; I'll be your instructor for the duration. We'll be working in the environment I'm most familiar with. You'll find, however, that a lot of these concepts and skills will be of use no matter where or how you're fighting."

The Shoppe environment gave way when Kerrigan activated the program. It reconfigured into the dry asphalt tundra of the Badlands. She was standing on the rooftop of some burned out shops, holding her weapon gently.

"For the time being, though... You'll need some Marine armor for the course, so pick whatever color you're feeling," she grinned, "And have a look around. Get a feel for the sim. I'll see you at the end."

She turned around to leave, but then paused. "Oh, and you've got guns," she noted, "Point and click. Don't be an idiot and shoot someone. It won't kill you, but I'd rather not waste your time and mine reactivating frozen suits." Smirking, she hopped onto the ground.

That was Not Good. Very much Not Good.

Anemone shot a round at the leg to either blow it off or slow it down before targeting the head again and opening fire. "I don't want to play with you! Die already!"

Not trusting it was actually dead after that gut-healing thing, Anemone circled both corpses warily, keeping her gun trailed on them the entire time as she kicked some smallish rocks at it.

Finally convinced they weren't getting back up, she lowered the firearm marginally and gave the second body a disgruntled glare. "Was all that really necessary? Show off."

Muttering to herself about why the hell did none of these planets have any Trapar for her to work with? and would it really be that hard to invent a decent LFO, Anemone took off across the Badlands again. This time, she was paying a lot more attention to her surroundings despite her internal grumblings.
