Shooting Practice [Open]

Mar 23, 2009 21:22

The Chief found something out while fighting the Taxxons, and that's that his aim isn't quite as sharp as he wants it to be right now. Whether that's because of being in the pod for a while or what, he doesn't know. It's just a detriment to his survival odds and so he's going to FIX it.

The thing he didn't anticipate, however, is what the Sensorium ( Read more... )

Some people may or may not have noticed a lack of Bri lately.

That would probably have to do with the fact that his mun is lazy and RL sucks GLaDOS had snatched him up a bit before the whole brain-slugs-trying-to-take-over-the-ship incident for her little..."experiments". Let's just say he never want's to hear the word "cake" again.

At least he's out now, and at the moment, he's looking to let off some steam, which generally means some time in the Sensorium. He comes to a halt when he sees the Chief there, though.

"Oop, didn't know it was occupied. You mind?"

He starts, very slightly. Just a slight tensing along the shoulders, but it's very quickly gone as he turns to see Bri.

"No, not at all." He nods. "I was going to sight this in," he shifts the assault rifle a little in his arms. Sight adjustment's another possibility that's occured to him, who knows what happened to it while it was lying around in the locker.

"Target practice, huh?" he says with a chuckle. "Just what I was hoping for."

He moves over to a booth not too far away from the Chief. He draws the pistol holstered at his side, checking it with practiced efficiency.

"Got snagged for that one AI GLaDOS'...experiments...a couple days back. Anything interesting happen in the meantime?"

HAH.

The Chief raises an eyebrow, at the explanation for absence and the almost-humor of Bri's last statement considering what's been going down the last few days. "Yes. Half the crew was enslaved by alien brain slugs and we had a small civil war on our hands because they were trying to blank Stacy's memory. The infested are restrained in the medbay right now waiting for the slugs to die. Then there were the giant cannibalistic space worms one of them sicced on us." Interesting enough, you see.

"I'd ask you about the AI, but you can go first."

For a moment, Bri looks up from his pistol and just stares.

"...Damn. Startin' to feel lucky I wasn't there for that."

He goes back to his pistol, and takes aim down-range.

"GLaDOS seems to be some kinda research AI. Caught me while I was sleeping, and had me running weird logic puzzles through these sorta obstacle courses. Nothing too hazardous, though it looked like if you slipped up in some places, you'd fall a couple hundred feet to your death."

He takes a couple shots, getting them fairly close to center-mass.

"Any casualties?" he says, regarding the slug incident.

"None, thankfully. We had a near fatality with a guy that was shot in the head. I wasn't there, but apparently Brainiac 5 managed to stabilize him and he's recovering." The Chief himself has remained uninjured, so he had no real reason to go be underfoot in the medical bay and get any more detail than that.

Sleeping. That's an issue that's going to have to be figured out sooner or later, he can't stay awake indefinitely. But at the same time, he does not trust this ship at all.

"I'll have to sleep lightly and hope it wakes me up," he says, checking the rifle's sights against the target down the range. "Best any of us can do, I think. If it's one of the ship's AI's it can probably track us." The sights are aligned, he fires.
