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."

"Go ahead," Kerrigan replied, pulling herself up to her full height.

Triela's grin grew positively manic. "Where can I get one of these," she hefted the rifle that came with Ghost armor, "for real?"

With a smirk that laid somewhere between amused and utterly sympathetic, Kerrigan dusted off the hands on her own suit. "They're military issue."

"So where can I get one?" she repeated excitedly.

"Terran Confederate military," Kerrigan said, with a disdainful snort. "But I wouldn't go that far. You could try the arms place in town, but I wouldn't, if I were you." She strolled past the bike. "The owner's kind of a jackass."

"But... I need this rifle, Lieutenant."

"Trust me," she replied, glancing off into the simulated landscape, "You don't want the hassle that comes with it." A pause. "Which doesn't mean it's not an awesome rifle."

"It's beautiful," Triela agreed. "Do you... have one I could... borrow?"

Kerrigan's eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly as she glanced over her shoulder. "I don't let my guns out of my sight."

"Oh." Triela didn't pout. She just looked... disappointed.

"Maybe for target practice one day," Kerrigan said, returning her attention to the cycle.

"Okay," Triela bounced excitedly. "I'll hold you to that." She just decided to ignore the "maybe".

"It's a deal," Kerrigan smirked back at her. Hey, enthusiasm.
