"That works too. And it's... probably better." He hates having to show people how to fight. Martin spins, trying to find where the arrow came from.
-
Martin stares at his feet. He's been in enough situations to know where this will go. "Maybe stick with me when we get into a fight. I'll show you a couple things that won't kill anybody."
-
"I might be able to help you with that," Martin says slowly, speaking quietly. "And... about the war, you... you're going to need to make some choices. I'm sorry."
-
"You raise a good point. Variety is important."
-
"Never let it be said that a disgruntled foot squad is good at naming things. It stands for explosive bullet. Take a bomb, make it aerodynamic, shrink it, and you've got a war crime."
-
"Oh yeah. The concept was applauded, especially when people realized it could mean soldiers could carry more medical or survival equipment. But it leads to a lot of stalemates." Martin rubs the back of his neck absently. "They're still better than E.B.s, so there's that."
-
"Makes sense. Lasers are a minefield of..." Martin waves his hands vaguely, "Stuff. Ethics, mechanics, supplies. Where I'm from, it took a good... I think a decade before testing was approved."
-
"Does it burn you when it heats up? That's what was hampering our scientists in getting decent hand-held laser weapons."
-
"That's pretty advanced," Martin remarks, looking at the laser gun. "Does it have a cooling system?" He winces. "And, ah, Fehn, I'd recommend not looking down the barrel."
-
"Agreed." Martin walks back.
-
Martin shakes his head and walks away again, looking for Chrysler.
-
Why is she just... carrying those around? That's not... Martin can distinctly remember at least three times he was severely punished for not securing weapons properly. "Uh, thank you?" He carefully puts the bullets into the pouch on his belt.
-
Martin hears the word 'bullets' and turns around. "You have ammunition?"
-
Martin shakes himself free of the current conversation, filing away the new member's name, and goes to find Chrysler to ask what he should do with the rune dust. @Negative_Null
-
"Well, that's something I'm good at." He swallows the painful swirl of emotions, forcing himself to detach from them.
-
"Yes, but when? Do we have a specified mission yet? When do we need to be ready to move out?"
-
"Huh." Interesting. And aluminum is a weakness. That's good to know. YTP had been looking into aluminum alloys. If he ever gets back, telling them about that could gain him something. In a low voice to Ayia, Martin asks, "What's our plan? Are we attacking anything?" @Channelknight Fadran
-
"I'm a soldier, not a scientist. Not smart enough." What are Realmatics? Even Ross, for all that she rambled about dimensions and space and whatnot, had never mentioned anything like that.
-
"Okay." He doesn't understand half the words in that sentence. Maybe he should spend some time reading after they do this mission.
-
Martin raises an eyebrow. "Welcome to the club of 'stuck here'."
