[On screen, there's a very calm redhead looking thoughtfully at the camera, one brow slightly cocked.]

It's occurred to me that the fleet has about ten times as many firearms as it does medical professionals. It's also been pretty apparent that a lot of our cast members don't know the basics of gun safety and use. If anyone wants to learn, I'll be at the following coordinates.

[The message ends with a bit of text, the location of one of the abandoned waystations in near orbit.]

I can handle a shotgun okay. [Because accuracy isn't so important then.] I was pretty good at hand to hand, but my best was long blades. I had a saber.

Well, with a plasma arc on it.

Recoil won't be a problem, yeah, but it's not like I can run around and do combat rolls and shit any more. But something is better than nothing!

[Just keep telling yourself that, Wrath. Maybe some day it'll stick.]

Yeah sure, let's go.

[She'll take one of the weapons, and she definitely knows what she's doing. She's as balanced as she can be with her back giving her problems. And she sure seems to know how to aim, got the firing down. She just... can't seem to hit anything. Well. She gets close?]

[Very, very bad back injury.] It's just learning a whole new set of tactics, I guess. One where you're not very mobile.

[Which is what makes the learning hard, since her major advantage up to this point was always that she was fast.]

Yeah. My right hip is basically shit. Left arm's artificial so it's easier to go that way.

[She frowns at the mess she's made so far.]

I think I should have a target reticle I can access in my right eye, I just never got the training on it because I got turfed. But that might help.

[Another frown.] I swear I didn't use to suck this badly, though.

Not since the last time I was in the hospital. Which is when they had to replace my eye. And my skeleton. But I had the AR arm and leg before.

[She wrinkles her nose.] I was a sucky shoot before then, though. Just not... Quite this bad.

Okay.

[And she tries that. It does improve a little, and she does take her time firing too. There's no rush.]

Maybe I should ask the doctor to check my eye. It's like... Stuff isn't quite where it's supposed to be.

My left's my dominant. Which is weird, since I'm right-handed, but what can you do?

[Wrath would really like to get back on track too.]
pain_train: (a distant smile)

[personal profile] pain_train 2015-07-19 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[She does as she's told and also tries to aim very carefully. The result is a notable improvement, actually. Not great, but better.]

Oh, good! Just going to have to practice, I guess...

Training makes the soldier. [Agreement, totally. Just has to get back to training. She squints at the target, habit more than anything. Sometimes her vision does weird stuff.]

I'll work hard. Always do! Really good shot, though. You're great at this.

Nah you must have been born this way. [Grin. She likes you, Natasha.]

The hurfdurf is strong with this crew, huh. [Not that Wrath is rushing off to do counseling either. Though in a way it's that she doesn't even know where to begin. And she distrusts anything that smacks of psych, because corporate psych... Yeah. No.]

Probably wouldn't be bad to do hand to hand too. Cause you can't always use firearms. For that we could try to clear some storage on the ship cause we don't need quite so much room.
