Rage Against the Machine: Etc, Etc, Etc; Tuesday, Second Period [02/15].
The class was back at the ancient temple/new rebel base in the Danger Shop again, only this time, they were definitely starting out near the top of the structure, on a wide ledge that could not only comfortably fit all of them, but also a long line of turret cannons.
"Alright, guys," Summer started with a nod. "So we've got our base and we've kitted it out with all the basics, and now it's time to talk defense. Because eventually, the evil galactic empire in question is definitely going to find out where your base is hidden and there's a good chance you'll have to defend it, probably with your lives. We're definitely not going to go into a full on battle strategy...yet...but we are going to learn how to use some good heavy equipment," she set a hand proudly on one of the turrets, "to start out with. Good for taking down any suspicious air craft that may be floating around trying to get all up in your business. Of course, if a spy drone or ship goes does, that's definitely going to get traced back to you, so sometimes, you just gotta let 'em fly and lay low, but after a while, it might be a problem, and that's where the heavy artillery might come in.
"How exactly did our low-key rebel operation manage to procure high quality turret guns in the first place? I don't know. Probably stolen. Could have been refurbished out of junk parts. Maybe we had a bake sale. Financing a political movement isn't nearly as exciting as just shooting stuff, although it is important and something we'll probably go over, too, but not on the week right before a break. That is definitely a 'let's learn how to use giant fucking guns and shoot shit' sort of week."
So, with that said, Summer took some time to explain the turret guns themselves and demonstrate how they worked, so that hopefully even the most firearms deficient newb could pick it up and feel...well, maybe not comfortable, but at least willing to try it out. "Now, of course," she added, "these might be way different from the kinds of heavy weaponry you might have in your own worlds and dimensions, but it's all basically the same concept, if you learn one, you can probably pick up another pretty easily."
Uh, no, Summer, sorry, but not everyone was you or Rey.
"Let me know if you have any questions. Once you guys get settled, behind the guns the sim's going to kick in and you'll have some bogeys in the air to shoot at and get some practice in. The more you go, the quicker and more evasive they're going to get, too, so hopefully, those of you who are new to this will have some time getting used to it, and, if you pick it up pretty quickly, you'll still have a challenge. So go ahead, man your guns, and let's shoot some shit."
