Tactics 201, Thursday Period Two

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Before the break, I was asked 'what to do if there are no reinforcements coming'. This was mostly the subject of last term's class, but for completion's take, that will be the topic of today's class-- or rather, how to deal in a situation where you have only yourself, your own resources, and your abilities."

Kerrigan's foot was tapping against the floor of the Danger Shop, and her C-10 was pointing helpfully down. "Yourself. That's all you'll have today. No special powers. No special equipment. Nothing but you, your wits, and a big damn suit of armor."

The environment warped, bringing with it a sparse forest, mosses cluttering the ground and trees climbing up against rock walls that weaved in and out. "What do you do when you're on your own? Be smart. Be honest with yourself-- what your chances are, what you can do. You find your own advantages, be they strategical cleverness, sheer unpredictability, or mental stamina. Use them. Distract your opponent. Set traps.. Attack them straight up front. I don't care; just do something, something you're good at, and do it well."

She quirked a grin at the class. "This, kids, is where you get to shoot at each other. Remember that a hit to the head freezes you-- getting hit in a limb disables that particular extremity. Don't be idiots. Sometimes it's tactically useful to take someone out in one shot. Sometimes you have to risk facing every bit. It's all on you."

Before she turned around, she added, "And don't let the Zerglings bite."

Listen to the Lecture

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Make notes, ask questions, attempt to converse with your neighbours.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River listened. As usual, there was no need for notes, but there was a small smile on her face.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge isn't so much with the taking notes. And he'd love to ask a question, really, except usually when he's got a question he raises a hand, and, well, total lack of *hands* here. So instead he sort of... vibrates in place.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River looked at Bridge and blinked.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey, River," Bridge says, floating over in her direction. "It's, uh. Bridge. Hi!"

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan... came to a pause. "...The hell?" she asked, eloquently.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Um, hi Lieutenant Kerrigan sir?" Bridge says. "It's uh. Bridge. Carson. There was a thing, with a wormhole, and us presuming Sky and Z are here and it didn't work out so well."

Re: Listen to the Lecture

Sky was also there, listening attentively but of course unable to take notes of any sort. He was quite sick of being sparkly by now, as he loathed missing class.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[multiplez]

Z was also here. And also a sparkleball. She was kind of wishing she could take a nap, actually.

Face Off

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Pick your opponent. Take him out. Trees, rocks, and your armor are all here to be advantages or disadvantages, depending on how you use them. And mod your own Zerglings if such is your preference.

Re: Face Off

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela grinned widely inside her armor. This? This was something she was good at. It was almost like being back at the Agency.

Re: Face Off

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Jen sighed; she really hated this armor. Couldn't she just use her much more mobile and inexplicably protective magic spandex?

But oooo, the prospect of shooting stuff up . . .

Re: Face Off

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko still hated those damn guns, but it didn't seem like he had a choice for this exercise. So he started moving around and looking for someone to shoot at.

Re: Face Off

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka tossed a rock at Zuko's head.

"YOU! You and I need to talk! C'mon, we can do it while trying to kill each other, just like old times."

Re: Face Off

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko ducked and scowled at Sokka. "Like you stand a chance," he grumbled, somehow having a fairly good idea what this was about.

Talk to the TA

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

When she pings in!

Re: Talk to the TA

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River was here, and was taking quite an interest in the subject of today.

Talk to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

She won't be around long after class, but she's available for a few minutes or so.

OOC

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

I'll be in and out, so availability might be spotty, but I'll try to get back to any Kerrigan pings if I can.

Re: OOC

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

LJ is being an INCREDIBLE bitch to me right now, so massive apologies for the double sign-in ping, I'm trying to delete that sucker but it just ain't working. Who knows if *this* will even post. Ugh.

Re: OOC

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

LJ is hating on everyone right now, methinks. No worries!
