Allison used her new found freedom in her outfit to lean across the bar and pull out a bottle of booze. “Oh the CMO is not going to be the only one drunk shooting. Bottoms up boys,” she laid out a shot for all four of them but gave the CO and XO two extra ones. “By my calculations on BMI and knowing your medical records you two,” she pointed at Colter and Kolar, “need to drink twice as much as Angel and I. Maybe three times as much,” she changed her mind thinking about the difference in height and weight in the group.

DaVinci grabbed both his shots and threw them back quickly one after the other. . . .

“Drinking isn’t really my thing little lady,” Kolar replied truthfully… the drinks on the holodeck didn’t really do anything since it was just light and force fields which would just phase away when you walked out.

“Not to mention drunk shooting is the worst way of shooting darling.”

Kolar XO

The CO grimaced at the taste of the ‘alcohol’. “Yeah, there isn’t anyone getting intoxicated on that, still the taste alone could have some negative effects on accuracy.”

He turned and stepped outside the saloon and into the dusty road. =^=Computer, give me six glass bottles to use as targets. On fence posts. Say, 45 meters away. . . =^=

=^=Confirmed,=^= replied the computer as the targets materialized.

He threw the poncho over his shoulder, clearing his left hand and hip. With a flick og his wrist, DaVinci fired off 6 quick shots from his revolver, shatterig each bottle in the bullets path, except the last one. The bullet his the post, just under the bottle, but was still enough to cause the bottle to tumble to the ground and break.

He looked to the others as the gun slip into his holster. “That’s what they call ‘doin’ the hard way’.”

Ally downed a shot after making the signal for the computer to reset the bottles. Popping off the bar stool, Ally lifted her gun and took aim at the bottles. She did not have the lightening fast reflexes Colter demonstrated from his years of combat. Instead she took a classic stance for shooting. Her feet were shoulder-width apart, slightly bent at the knees but with her hips leaning slightly forward to help with any recoil if it were forthcoming. Ally’s shoulders were squared to the target and a slight forward lean at the hips. This was open called the isosceles stance which Kolar and Colter would immediately recognize if they had ever taught someone to fire a phaser. It allowed for stability and control showing Ally had fired a weapon before. Taking a breath she held it, before letting it out slowly as she aimed at each bottle. A few of her shots were on target with a few others hitting off to the side but just enough for it to fall over. She hit a total of four bottles but the other two bullets lodged into the wooden post just below her target.

“I excel at skeet,” Ally said lowering her weapon. “It seems counterintuitive to be better at hitting a moving target but,” she shrugged it off and motioned for Balfor to take his shot.

“So you went from Southern belle, to drunken rabble rouser to Annie Oakley in under 30 minutes. You do get bored easily,” he joked. Ally was energetic and impulsive but that was a hallmark of one’s age. She would settle down or maybe not. Only time would tell.

Kolar XO

“My father and brother are cops in San Francisco. We spent the weekends when I was not on the beach shooting and participating in agility dog training. While my father was just a cop, my brother worked the drug trade. He had one of those drug sniffing dogs looking for Red Ice and such from the syndicate. It would have made sense for me to go into security following in the family footsteps however it just wasn’t for me. Besides I am far more intimidating with a hypo than a weapon.”

Ally Scott CMO

DaVinci chuckled. “Y’know, doctor, I don’t doubt that for a second. I know I’d be frightened if I saw you coming at me, face all scrunched up, hypo in hand, telling me I’d better relax or you’ll make me relax. . . . yeah. Scary thought,” he said with a mischievous grin on his face the whole time.

Kolar let out a small chuckle. Both Dante and Natasha had said there was more to the CMO than her petite exterior.

Kolar XO

“What do you think, Kolar?” DaVinci asked. “You want to try your hand with a revolver? It’s not much different than using phaser. Just point and pull the trigger, except it’s got a bit of a kick to it!”

Kolar polished off the rest of his drink and waggled his head slightly as if contemplating his decision. “Sure. Why not? If we shoot ourselves we have the doc here,” he hooked a thumb at Scott. It was not like that would happen. They were in a holodeck with the safeties on. It took some of the thrill out but Balfor was not a typically rabble rouser. He prefered a more quiet sort of relaxation mainly in gardening. That did not mean it would not be fun and worth a try.
