"It's an armored target, sir." Reserti smiles in response and nocks his second arrow, repeating the process of drawing and enchanting. This time, however, instead of glowing cherry red, the arrowtip glows a metallic grey and seems to become even more razor-sharp than such an arrow could ever be made naturally. As the arrow is loosed, the arrow seems to increase in density, becoming heavier. An observer with keen enough eyes to see it would recognise that the arrow had been morphed for armor penetration. It strikes the steel plate in the exact same spot the last arrow did, the same area which had been weakened by the HEAT arrow.

((Inb4 the instructor orders a .57 brought out and challenges Reserti to a contest of firepower))

Vhan closes their eyes tight and just wants to go away. Get out of this place. Vhan crawls into a ball no longer holding tears back when there's a flash of light and they're outside. The sun kisses Vhans skin and thanks the gods. The ability kicked in again to save them.. This time from themselves.

The magic arrow slug thing punches through the weakened armor, and your Instructor whistles. "Well shit son, looks like you're maybe half as good with that bow of yours as you are good with cock suckin', you can hit targets like that 600 yards away an' the boys'll love you long time."


Danh hears someone leave, probably that other guy.
Weird guy.
That as probably common in these gate teams, though. Boss said to expect a lot of those backwater xenos from Gaia to show up.
Standing up, and stretching, the man wanders over to the kitchen, intent on putting on a new pot of coffee.

Coffee is done. Shit's leagues better than what security gets, goddamn Gate Teams get the best of stuff.

A walking Security trips over your curled up form and falls on his face.

Fucking Kobolds, man.

"An armored plate isn't that hard to hit, sir. I can make shots double that distance while flying upside-down." Reserti nods and steps away from the firing range before joining the others in explosives practice.

((I assume that the instructor would be very confused as to Reserti's 'flying' statement))

Apologizes profusely to the guard and then runs off to get the medication. Vhan will never skip a does again.

Amadou comes back from the PX where he went to scan the sigils. The book is in a bag, and his fingers are still smarting; he believes it fully worth it, as he hopes that the result of his research will be more acceptable in hospitals than the slaughtering of screaming monkeys.

Grabbing a styrafoam cup, Danh pours himself some of the rather tasty coffee. Black, of course. Anything less was for pansies who can't handle the bitter sting of Lady Coffea's oh so delicious ambrosia.

Anyway, coffee is good. Mmm. Sipping the drink, he thinks back to yesterday, wondering about the day. Hm. The day right before that, he arrived at this level, and slept most the day. Yesterday, briefing. Lots of it. Got told about the Elves, how they ran themselves in a Communism. Geez. He grew up in a huge socialist state, and that was horrible. Those Treehuggers must really got it bad. Was he here before, or after that scaly goblin? Wait, kobold, thats what they're called, yeah. Skittery lookin' bastard.
Never got a chance to look, but let's see what's in the fridge now.

Taking another scorching sip, the man heads over to the fridge, and opens it up, seeing what hidden treasures this may contain.

Mostly more drinks. Food comes in nutrients bar that you put in a bowl and add hot water to make yummy chunky thick stew. There's ones that you can just eat in bar form, of course. Akras makes really good bars, just because they can afford it and doesn't need to cut corners.

While anywhere else you'd get sewage fat and bug flour, Akras gives you bars made from real lab meat and plants matter!

Amadou arrives and finds two strange guys by the fridge.

"Hi there, are you the new guys? My name's Amadou, I'm leading the AGT 47.

You're a Kobold, right? First time I see a scaled one. I see here on your file you're good with traps... That's a good thing, if we can take out the enemies without taking chances. Just make sure you let everyone know where they are. Did you learn how to use the helmet to send pictures?

And you, haven't we met before? Hmm, heavy weapons, explosives, we were missing those in our team.

Well guys, welcome to Alpha Golf Tango four-seven. The others are newcomers; they're in the induction classes and should be here later on."

*grenade lands near target*That's it? I thought there would be mo-
*grenade explodes*HOLY FUCK! I should have payed more attention to Amadou's presentation. . .

Ratodx leans away some as the grenade goes off. "Boss used one of those to try to deal with the Goat. He kind of underhand pitched it so it rolled on the ground towards it. I'd show you, but this boss," he gestures at the explosives instructor, "said not to drop it." Ratodx then measures himself, twists the cannister, pulls the pin, and lobs the grenade towards the printed pigs. "Remember that little things can cause big problems. Wouldn't be here if that wasn't the case."

Having thrown his grenade, Ratodx has a question or two for the explosives instructor, continuing to talk through the explosion. "You called these 'smart' grenades. What makes them smart? Why does it think that what I throw it at is closer than I am when I throw it? Boss threw a grenade along the ground at the Goat that had escaped and caused the lock down yesterday. Could he have done that with one of these smart grenades or did he have a dumb grenade? Are there average intelligence grenades, or was that a dumb question?"

Turns and waves to Amadou

"Hello I'm Vhan. It's nice to meet you. I don't entirely remember how to work the helmet cam but I will try my best to live up to your expectations and bring glory to the group."

"Yes... Glory, hm? Look, let's put it this way: it wouldn't be very glorious if one of us tripped your traps, right? The best way to avoid that is to make sure everybody knows exactly where your traps are, are you following me? Now, the helmet can take images and send them to the rest of the team, and I want to make sure you know how to do it, or sooner or later someone will trip one of your traps, and that is not in any way glorious...
...So, let me explain how to do it. See this here, you..."

Amadou explains thoroughly how to do it, and tells Vhan to take pictures of several places in the squad rooms and send them to him, and then some more just to be assured that the kobold got it.
