TACTICS 201, THURSDAY PERIOD 2, 01/10
The Danger Shop was neutral, for the moment. Just an empty expanse of nothingness that seemed to go on forever in all directions. In the center stood Sarah Kerrigan, decked out in her Ghost suit and armed with a simulated canister rifle. "Hey, kids. Welcome to Tactics 201, you probably know the drill by now. I'm Lieutenant Kerrigan; you can address me as Lieutenant or sir, depending on which works for you. Some of you'll have been in my previous class, in which case-- welcome back, I hope you had a good break and, yes, Booth if he's there, didn't get killed."
She rolled her eyes.
"This term, we'll be dealing in bigger terms. Where I come from, war's divvied up in macro and micro-- micro being what we covered last term, the art of maneuvering up close. Macro's the name of the game this term: managing your troops on a bigger scale. We'll be dealing with a bunch of modules, which might be familiar to some of you..."
She trailed off for a moment, staring out into the class, looking a little lost. "...but we'll cover that next week when I finish your syllabus."
Another hesistant pause, and then she slammed a button, warping the surroundings to give way to cliffs, dried-out ground and the shapes of large metal buildings all around, some blue emeralds shimmering on the ground up ahead. "I'll," she paused again, "I'll be dealing with a couple other universes during this term if it's requested or I find it potentially interesting, but the baseline is still what I'm used to. Most of our lessons are going to be stuff that branches out everywhere."
She stepped towards the class. "Before you guys get to take a look around, I'll do the usual and get name, experience and your favored shade of armor. I'll even let you guys tape on stickers this time if you want." It was a tried and trusted motivational tool. Really.
[wait for the ocd up! ]
