Alternative Tactics, Wednesday Period 1, 07/11

It was definitely a Danger Shop day, but Lieutenant Kerrigan was looking a little bit more frazzled than usual. If there was a reason for this, she was not going to announce it to the class.

Instead, she would probably just yell at someone given an excuse.

"Today, we're going to be dealing with air assaults," she informed the class briskly. Her eyes were doing that neat little staring daggers thing. "Obviously, when you're outnumbered, unless you've got damn good maneuvering skills or a rock the size of a planet over your head, assaults from the air are going to cause some major damage which will probably end in your horrible death. That's where sheer force of armament is going to be on your side. A good shot with the right gun can take a bird right out of the sky."

What followed was a rant so technical as to be downright impressive.

"Keep your heads nice and down, kids," she finally segued probably much to everyone's relief, "You do not want a bullet from a Wraith cruiser in your head. Really puts a crimp in your day if you're, say, powdering your nose or pondering your existential angst, Adama. It's all a matter of range - take that ship out before it takes you and there's no problem. So you kids are going to go get some practice today, and if I hear anyone complaining I'm going to--"

Pause.

"Do something Dean Jones would probably disagree with. Get working."

[ wait for the ocd up! ]

Lee didn't think he had existential angst, thank you very much. He thought his angst was very tangible and he was almost tempted to share it with Kerrigan but maybe she liked his angst and would steal it.

So, Lee just sat there quietly and stared.

Sokka listened to the lecture and took lots and lots of detailed notes.

And snickered at Lee.

Adam listened to the lecture, processing what Professor Kerrigan had to say. He knew a little bit about air assaults and wasn't about to do anything stupid during the scenario.

Considering that Anemone was usually the person doing the air assault, she was also taking notes on how not to get blown out of the air by the opposing faction.

Billy wondered what had happened to put her in such a mood.

Rikku blinked. And made sure she was on her best behavior today and as non-ADHD as possible.

Z didn't think there was anything wrong with existential angst, but she took careful notes on the other thing anyway.
