Training Day

[cityship]

As per the Chief's message, it was training time. Everyone who signed up for training (or was signed up by someone else) was ordered to an open square in the City.

Yes, the City, instead of the sensoriums. That meant that any weapons used would be real. And every bit of damage that they dealt would be real. As would the injuries. Though there didn't seem to be any weapons around, and there were no targets set up.

Interesting, that.

Anyway, in the square was the Chief of Security, who was busy marking off names of people who arrived early or on time. Anyone who figured that they could skip out, though, there is now an unhappy seven foot fully armed and armored Spartan hunting you down.

((ooc: READ THIS BEFORE TAGGING. EDIT: But the first subthread "Early/on time arrivals" is now open for tagging. Training has now begun!))

Ronon felt the same and the two shared a look of understanding. "From what I've seen, some of these kids can look after themselves well, but they are no soldiers. You're helping with this training session?"

"Not this one. And that's what I'm afraid of, that they're able to fight, but unwilling to do so together," Kang said dryly. "If they can't work together, they're going to get killed."

"After all that's happened so far, they had better be willing to fight together." Working together was important but not as important as being willing to do so. "You know, I've been here for months and I haven't had a chance to work with Team Delta yet." The conversation reminded him of just that.

Kang snorted, bluntly stating, "Doesn't mean anything. Some people don't learn; they're the ones that end up dead." Glancing over at Ronon, he asked, "Team Delta?"

Ronon was amused. Actually, Kang's words had matched his thoughts on the ship's crew and he has been trying hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.

"Yeah. Team Delta is the team I was assigned to when I got here. What team are you in?"

Re: Observers

[governorkang]

"I was never assigned one, that I know of. This is the first I've heard of there being teams here," Kang quirked an eyebrow ridge slightly. "Are they similar to military units?"

Re: Observers

"..I guess." Meaning he'd like to say that they are, but with the people in them and their skills... not really. "There's a team leader and there's usually a medic in the team. But the teams are made up of most people on Stacy. I heard that they worked in their teams when I pod-popped."

"You'll be in a team soon." He added.

Re: Observers

[governorkang]

Kang nodded, easily picking up Ronon's meaning. "I retired from this crap years ago. I don't much like having to be a soldier again, but this is a war, and I'm good at it." He hoped he'd be placed on a team with people that actually knew what they were doing.

Ronon knew what it was like being forced into fighting yet at the same time he thrived off it. "Joining the military was a family tradition for me and for a while, war was all I knew. I can't quit while my galaxy is still unsafe." He made a pledge to rid Pegasus of it's Wraith problem and he still had ways to go. But first was getting his universe back.

"At least we're not the only soldiers in this place."
