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!))

"Yeah. I'm glad he's here." If it had to be anyone, there was no one better than Russel.

Fletcher seemed at least somewhat pleased with it, and that was good enough for Kaylee. "Have you had a trip to the sensoriums yet?"

He swung his legs idly as he answered. His feet didn't quite reach the floor. "Uh-huh, a couple times. But it's kind of weird in there, so... I don't know if I like it." Little did he know he was speaking to a woman who knew spaceships far better than he.

"Guess it might take some gettin' used to." Especially the fact that the room tended to shift whenever your mind did. The stable, if somewhat disgusting, environment of Stacy herself was probably much better to try and focus on.

"Mm... all of it does." He looked down at the training ground for a moment before continuing. "You know, we-- we don't even have flying machines where I'm from. Let alone spaceships."

"Really?" Kaylee couldn't really think of a world without all of that tech herself. Apparently there were quite a few on the ship who didn't know all that much about the ships, though. "Must be a whole new experience for ya, then..." She tried a more upbeat approach toward it, "But think of all the things you can learn from it."

[greennotgold]

"Y-yeah. It's, um, really educational." He tried to sound upbeat, but there was no disguising the disappointed tone of voice. He was on a spaceship made of living flesh, with only two people from his homeworld, one of whom he was terrified of, and all the technology was so far out of his grasp he couldn't hope to understand it. There weren't even paper books to read. "There's a lot to learn!" he added, trying to sound happy again.

Well, at least the kid was trying to sound upbeat. It was more than Kaylee had seen with most others. "It'll all be alright, in the long run," she promised. "We've just all got a lot of work to do 'til then, and some discomforts to deal with besides. Just take what ya can from it, and leave the rest."
