Tactics 201, Thursday Period Two
"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."
[wait for the ocd up ]
