Tactics 201, Thursday Period Two, 21/02

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

There was no sign of Kerrigan in the Danger Shop, which was set up as a movie theatre. When everyone had filed in and was seated, a short video began to play.

When it was finished, the Danger Shop faded back to a neutral shade of white with a suffusion of yellow, revealing Kerrigan where the screen had first stood. "Today, we're going to talk about reinforcements. Whether in-house or from afar, they can be the one thing that saves your ass. From the vid you just watched, you can take two lessons home-- one, don't be an idiot and get choked up on your pride. Before you know it, you're going to be up to your intestines in the bad stuff."

She paced a few steps towards the front row, and smirked with a certain definite air of cockiness. "Number two? Don't piss off a Ghost."

A press of something in her hand, and the environment changed again, taking the shape of a cockpit. "Reinforcements. If your battle is going to take a while, you'll need them. If you're looking for a good surprise up your enemy's posterior, you'll need them. Don't rely on the idea that they're there-- disrupting the opponent's supply lines is a popular and important strategy to bleed them dry. But if you've got 'em, use 'em."

She launched into somewhat of a technical rant about supply lines and deployment, then fell silent. Just for a few seconds. "I know all of that. Now you know all of that. Let's see if you guys are smart enough to let Captain Moron know." Another pause. "Oh, and Sokka, if he's here-- see me after class."

She faded from view, leaving only the cockpit with a communications device that was crackling.

Listen to the Lecture

And watch the movie.

Sky watched the movie with interest and a bit of a smirk. Even though he'd never been in a large-scale fight like that before, he knew that overconfidence usually led to being overrun. We'll ignore the fact that Sky himself is often overconfident and makes mistakes due to it, naturally.

River watched the movie, looking thoughtful.

Sokka took notes. Good notes. Because this was some primo note-taking material.

Try To Talk To The Captain

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

You're on one of the reinforcement ships. The captain doesn't want your support. Will you talk sense into him?

Kerrigan thinks not.

Zuko eyed the device warily, before he leaning in to speak to the Captain. There only seemed to be one way of doing this. "Captain, you're getting reinforcements."

Re: Try To Talk To The Captain

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"We don't need no damn reinforcements!" The Captain seemed a little vehement about this. "We need nothin' but the well-oiled machine of the Terran Marine Corps!"

Re: Try To Talk To The Captain

River looked up at the captain, her face blank. "Reinforcements."

Re: Try To Talk To The Captain

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Who the hell are you?!"

The faint muttering noises in the background were that of the lieutenant, attempting to subdue his captain into some semblance of sanity.

Sokka turned on the comm with the ease of someone who was starting to get used to Terran technology.

And officers. He was probably going to get to yell at people again. This was going to be fun.

"Captain, your reinforcements are here. Tell me where you need us."

"We didn't ask for no re-en-forcements! You can turn your tail and head back home 'cause the Marines got this!"

Talk to the TA

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

When she pings in!

Re: Talk to the TA

River was here, looking cheerful.

Talk to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Who is still rolling her eyes even after class is finished.

Re: Talk to Kerrigan

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge isn't Sokka, but he wanders up after class to talk to Kerrigan.

Re: Talk to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan shot him a (now mostly un-eyerolly) look when he approached. "Carson," she acknowledged, "What've you got?"

Re: Talk to Kerrigan

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka edged up to her. "You... wanted to see me?" he asked, cautiously.

Re: Talk to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yep." She moved away from the wall she was leaning against, stalking a few steps past him. "I'm trying to work this course so kids from other worlds will get something out of it. You said yours is at war?"

OOC

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

More of the floppity! I love that cinematic. Also? It's your first Deal with (Kerrigan's Conception Of) Marines mission of the term. Mmm, marines.

Re: OOC

Ahhhh, I'm sorry for my overeagerness to reply! XD

FOR SHAME! Now we must have a stoning.
