A voice from nowhere and everywhere around her spoke. “If you so desperately wish to design your own training, Ensign; perhaps you should try something a bit harder? I would recommend evasion as more tactically sound approach to fisticuffs, however.” Vonn said. The scene shifted suddenly and without warning.

Luna glared that was it. She had had enuff of Vonn treating her like a week link. She would request a sparing match when this was over. Yes she would probably lose but it would make her feel better.

Luna was standing on a high plateau, right on the edge. The drop was hundreds of feet straight down. A maelstrom of incredibly strong winds swirled around the plateau in all directions, blowing rust-colored dirt and sand and small debris in every direction. The top of the plateau was probably a mile square and covered in low shrubs and gnarled trees no more than six feet high. Rocks littered the ground. At her feet lay a ghillie suit mesh, unadorned. “Your assailants will arrive in ten minutes. They are armed and armored and will be looking for you. Safety threshold has been lowered to sixty percent. If they shoot you, it will hurt. If they find you, it will hurt as well. Good luck, Ensign. I hope you were paying attention.”

She quickly go to work making the site look like a bush and braking up her silowet the She crouched behind one of the bushes and waghted.

A shuttle appeared in the eye of the storm and then disappeared a few seconds later. The storm disappeared and then the plateau went silent.

A few minutes later, a pair of Naussican raiders appeared. They wore patchwork armor and carried disruptor rifles. They looked around about ten feet apart as they moved slowly clearly searching for sonething… or someone.

Luna stayed where she watched the stranger apper. It was quite the mental challenge to force herself nk to move and just watched but she did it.

The crunch of boots on ground came closer and closer. A moment later, a large boot landed directly in front of her face and stayed there for a few moments. The crackle of comms came over in a strange language and then the butt of a disruptor rifle set on the ground by the boot.

luna did not move. She remained silent.

The two sets of boots stood motionless for a few minutes, then one walked off one direction and the other in the opposite. Slowly, the crunch of boot on ground faded.

Luna stayed where she was. She was not dumb enuff to move until she was found or the sim was over.

OOC: Moving this ahead so we can get to the good stuff.

IC: After the sim was done, the next few weeks progressed much more quickly. While rock throwing and evasion routines were done frequently; new tests and tasks were worked into the routine as well… including actual marksmanship. Vonn remained silent, if they were there at all, but there was always a critique or (when her temper got the better of Luna) a criticism. Eventually, though, the sims became harder but stayed familiar.

Until the day it wasn’t. As Luna entered the holodeck for her training, she found herself in a blasted and broken city-scape at night. Ash drifted in the air and the ruins of vehicles and buildings, large skyscraper and smaller ones, littered the landscape. She was in a war zone.

“The ruins of New Detroit, circa 2367. Warring factions have leveled the city. A nuclear device has been detonated several weeks ago in an adjacent city. You are part of the Search and Rescue Team. Your team’s goal: Find and evacuate non-combatants to the landing zone directly behind you. Your goal: Keep the team and civilians safe from hostiles and cover their escape. You have a Kensington Mark III Phaser rifle, effective range of 1500 meters. Each power cell will provide 25 shots. You have 10 cells. Comms are helmet to helmet.” and he pointed at a bag of equipment on which sat a helmet. “There are six team members plus you. Your success will be determined by the number of civilians evacuated and the number of team members alive at the end. Do you understand?”

Vonn, RCO

” No I dont?” She said confused. Do I stay with the team or stay up high and act as a scouts or something” she said. It was pretty clear she was lost and confused.
Ensign Luna

“Again… your goal: Keep the team and civilians safe from hostiles and cover their escape. You get to choose how best to do so. This is a test, not only of marksmanship, but of tactics. Remember… you are most effective when no one can see you, but you can see them. Position yourself accordingly, and be cognizant of the changing circumstances. When you are ready, take your position and the test will begin.”
