Tactics 201, Thursday Period Two, 31/01

"Hey, kids."

Lieutenant Kerrigan was doing her utmost best not to run her hand repeatedly through her hair, standing in the middle of a simulated canyon in her Ghost outfit. "We were going to do a physical exercise today, but due to circumstances beyond my control, the planning has been altered slightly. We'll be running another simulated exercise today.

"Having dealt with defensive fortification last week, we'll be working on our offense this time. You're to team up in groups of two-- one of you will be driving a Vulture cycle, which aren't hard to master, but I'd advise anyone with motorbike experience to choose this option to make it easier on your classmates, while the other uses four NPC Marines around the canyon walls to try to take the Vulture out. Vulture drivers, your job's to get to the flashing signal at the end of the canyon."

When in doubt, go with class plans a colleague came up with. "Good hunting."

[ ~~wait for the~~ ocd up! ]

Put on your armor, grab a Vulture or a set of marines, and find a partner.

Seely frowned as he put on his armour. Shiny, shiny cycle, or sniping.

It was a hard choice.

Triela was shrugging into a set of Ghost armor when she glanced over at Seely and offered him a wave.

"Hey," Seely nodded back. "You have a partner?"

"Not for this class," she grinned. "You want the job?"

Seely grinned back. "Sure," he said. "You have any preference for how we split things up?"

The fight between the desire to shoot things and that to drive at dangerous speed was indeed a deadly one.

"How about you drive and I'll shoot you?" Yeah, that might be overconfidence.

"Okay," Seely agreed, heading towards the shiny, shiny bike. "Should be fun."

With an arrogant grin Triela slung her weapon over her shoulder, "I guess I'll go set up (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1674239.html?thread=102660863#t102660863) then."

Sokka suited up and looked around for a partner. He wasn't sure whether he wanted to ride or shoot, but while he was waiting, he grabbed a Vulture and took it for a spin around the staging area. Wheeee!

Sky waited until Sokka was done with his spin before approaching him. He really didn't feel up to doing much of anything today, but at least shooting at something was more or less mindless.

"Want to pair up?" he asked.

Sokka grinned and shrugged. "Sure. You driving or shooting?"

"Well... you seemed to be having a great time driving, so I'll shoot, I suppose."

Sokka grinned some more. "Sweet." He wasn't used to driving anything that didn't have oars, sails, or fur, and this Vulture was FUN.

"Hey, this thing's pretty fun to drive -- you want a turn before we do this thing?"

Sky was about to politely refuse, but hey, taking a ride on the Vulture could perhaps cheer him up. So he hopped on, circling the staging area several times. When he finally skid to a stop, he felt slightly better- and by "slightly better", it meant the boo boo lip had turned into a tiny frown.

"That... was pretty satisfying, actually," he had to admit. "Alright, then, let's get started, shall we?"

Bridge puts on his usual green armour and looks around for a partner.

"Cadet Carson," says Jen, walking up to him and snapping off a salute. "Care to work with me on this exercise?"

"Sure," Bridge grins at Jen. "That'd be awesome."

Jen's really hoping this class today will make up for yesterday's aggravation, and the prospect of getting to do something physical, something she knows how to do, has her cheered up enough to grin back at him.

"You want to shoot, or dodge?"

"I'll dodge," Bridge says, looking over the Vulture cycle appreciatively. "Uh, listen," he says. "I, um. Heard your discussion with Kabuto yesterday. And just... thanks."

Jen gives him a brief and slightly awkward nod as she finishes fastening up her grey-and-pink armor. "I had to," she says simply.

"Ready?" Bridge asks, hopping in to the driver's seat of the cycle.

Jen shoulders her rifle and nods to her Marines, but she can't help a tiny sigh; this isn't exactly the team she wanted to lead.

"Okay, I want you over there; you, take your station down at that end. You two --" She beckons the last two Marines closer and murmurs something to them, then gestures sharply with her free hand. "Okay, let's move."

"Good luck, Bridge," she adds.

Z armored up and looked around for a partner.

Max pulled on her armor and looked for a partner.

[fyi - work fried my brain today, so I'll be sloooooow]
