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! ]

Kerrigan glanced away from the bike. "Hey, Bond," she nodded.

Bond looked over the bike, noting the little things like the jet intakes and the lack of wheels. "This one of those Vultures you were telling me about?"

"Yeah," Kerrigan said, patting the side of the bike with something akin to affection.

"Looks fast," Bond noted, the very slightest hint of envy that they didn't have anything quite like that where he came from in his tone. "Hard to handle too."

"They are." She grinned at the vehicle one more time before getting up, turning her head to look at Bond. "The version I used in class was dumbed down for the kids, but this one's the real deal."

Bond whistled. "So we're talking very fast indeed."

"230 miles per hour," Kerrigan replied, with a grin, "And way more maneuverable than you'd think, looking at it."

And now Bond was wondering if there was any possible way to convince M to acquire a few of these. Purely for professional purposes. Really.

"I can see why you'd like driving it," he said with a grin. "Fast and maneuverable. Not to mention the lines."

"Yeah," she said, and there may have been some glee sneaking into her tone. It'd been far too long since she drove one of these. "And the grenade launchers, of course," Kerrigan added, off-handedly.

Now, Bond just could let that one slip by him. "Grenade launchers you say?"

"Anti-personnel," she replied, sliding her hand over a panel so one of the launchers revealed itself. "They're talking about replacing them with laser cannons, but grenades just have a certain I don't know what."

"Earth shattering ka-boom?" Bond suggested. He'd always enjoyed the explosives part of his weapons training.

"Earth-shattering, not so much," Kerrigan smirked faintly. "But between that and the mines, it's not bad." Understatement.

Bond smiled. "I can imagine," he said. "Hopefully I'll be able to see them in action one day, even if it is only in a simulation." The part where the best people to watch them in simulated action on were the students went unsaid.

"Hey, if you ever find an excuse, I'll be glad to set up a demonstration," she said with a shrug. And absolutely no enthusiasm for the idea whatsoever.

"I have found that needing to watch for mines does help increase situational awareness," Bond pointed out almost off-handedly. That way it'd be educational as well as entertaining.

"Exactly," Kerrigan smirked. "Hell, for some of these kids, it'd be job training."

"Better if they learn they can't take it here," Bond agreed. "Especially considering that out in the real world, limbs don't grow back."

"Unless you're Deadpool." What? She had to add. "Like I said, call me if you need me."

"Good point." Bond nodded. "I'll be sure to."
