OOC:
That's a total of 22! Not bad

OOC:
You killed the poor quartermaster, poor man had a heart attack.

Doc will step up and hold the dragoon up with his elbow at a right angle. Taking a careful stance and stiff aim, he lets a bullet fly at the target.
As Doc walks up to the line and squeezes off a round it sails and smacks the target high and to the right. A hit none the less!

"Well, it seems you know how to handle a firearm," the First Sergeant says while giving you a curious eye. "I admit, I didn't see that coming. Well done. Next!"

OOC:
Alright I guess I'll roll a D8 with intimidation then.
Rolands expression drops to a cold seriousness almost immediately, the ensuing silence conveying his chilling change of tone. He leans in closer, his hulking frame towering in his stillness "Might be for the good of you future as well... If you catch my meaning..."
OOC:
This is taking into account all of your exploding rolls and such.
The guard looks mortified and a bit off his rocker. You may or may not notice a wet spot trickle down the side of his left leg... "Ummm, yes...yes Sir. In fact, maybe you can take all the ammunition you need! I'll be sure to let Quartermaster Gilliard know of your dire situation."

The guard shows you in and explains quickly to Quatermaster Gilliard the need for ammunition. Without much question, the Quartermaster shows you in and says, "Here you are Roland. Help yourself to what you need."

LOL. A big successful roll for sure, but I think he was addressing the guard there.

"There was a range at the club. A veteran showed me the ropes and I've been practicin'!" Doc's stance takes a comically wide gait as he swaggers bavk behind the other applicants. He grins with self satisfaction.

John squeezes off his round after Doc Murph clears out.

Ping! A bit high and to the left, but John's shot is true and hits the target.

"Nice job there Mr. Gregory. Next! The First Sergeant motions to Collie.

Collie steps up to the firing block after John leaves. She takes a deep breath, steadies herself and aims and then fires her dad's gun at the target.

After missing the target, Collie clears her throat, slightly embarrassed, before turning to the First Seargant. "Just warming up", she says. Why do these people want me to show my shooting again?, she thinks to herself, then taking aim once more and firing off a second shot before the First Seargant can stop her.

Unhappy with being forced to participate in this dog and pony show, Monte steps to the target with his new Henry rifle, still not one hundred percent confident about the feel. For a moment he wishes he'd left his trusty Springfield. He sights the rifle and fires...

Despite hitting the target, a look of disappointment crosses over his face and the placement of the shot and type unfamiliar feel of the rifle in his hands, and he makes note to retrieve his Springfield and shot back. He'll burden his horse with it if nothing else.

Returning from the Armoury with some new gotten gains, Roland sees that it is his turn up. He grins with excitement, stands and faces the target, pistol at the ready. He takes a breath and lets loose a round.

After Collie sends off her first shot the First Sergeant says, "Now, Collie...we're going to have to..." and before he can continue she interjects and then sends off her second shot. Ping! It hits just low of the central "bullseye" and makes a satisfactory ping.

"Hmmm...Well, I can't negate your seemin' ability to rectify a failed attempt... I reckon you'll do. Maybe you have other expertise. I just want to make sure you can hit something...well, at least half the time." He gives Collie a bit of a smirk. "Next!"

Vivan steps up and squeezes off her round. Ping! "Well! I'll be damned. The first direct hit!" Vivian's round smacked the red "bullseye" dot on the large square metallic target. "Now that's some fine shootin' miss. Next!", the First Sergeant comments.

A seemingly disgruntled Monte steps up without even waiting for the First Sergeant's call. Ping! Hitting the bottom right he indeed makes the shot. "That will do sir. Next!"

Looking over at Roland who is walking up..."Well, I hope you'll be sticking with your outfit in the field without wonderin' off. Now, get on up here. Your turn."

A grinning Roland walks up and lets loose a shot. Ping! "Damn! Another direct hit. You all might have some potential after all!" Roland is possibly delighted that he too nailed the "bullseye."

The First Sergeant proceeds, "Well, seems like most of you..." he eyes Collie ... "can handle a firearm just fine." Motioning over to the stables. "Now, let us try a bit of riding."

Just about the time you all make your way over to the stables a soldier runs up to the First Sergeant.

"First Sergeant! First Sergeant!...." Out of breath the slightly heavy set young man passes the First Sergeant a telegram. Huffing and puffing, beforehand he does manage a salute but almost collapses. "Calm yourself son. What's ailing you?"

The soldier replies, "They caught one Sir. They caught one!"

Collie scoffs at these words. "Other expertise?", she repeats with an offended tone in her voice. "Oh believe me, you will see my other expertise. And you will eat those words."

At these words, Collie's eyes light up. "They caught one of these cogs? Now I just need to get my hands on it!"

"I wan't to see what one of these things looks like too." She says to Collie.

"Any chance we can see what you caught Sergeant ?"
Feb 4, 2020 11:23 pm
The First Sergeant looks up to you lot, "Well, who's not ready? Gather yourselves, do what you need to do. Meet me in HQ in 1 hr. Consider yourselves all full-fledged and enlisted Tesla Ranger recruits."

He begins to walk off with the messenger.
OOC:
It seems he is indeed distraught a bit and shocked by the news and is moving hastily. You all have just started what was going to be some sort of initiation or training procedure...I leave the last hour in the fort to you all, doing whatever you might need to tighten up loose ends. Looks like the mission is approaching!

"You've gotta let us have a look at this thing, Sarge." Doc joins Collie and Vivian, champing at the bit to get a look at the robot.
Feb 5, 2020 3:38 am
Stopping in his tracks, he turns to Doc Murph, "You'll get your chance. They've caught one down in Uncanny Valley. I'll brief you soon." He turns and continues to mutter to the soldier as they make their way towards HQ.
