Vonn sent the training notification to Luna and then made their way to the holodeck. In one hand they carried a small black case with a handle.

The doors opened and the voice from the helmet said =/\= Computer, run program Vonn Marksman Training 1-point-zero. =/\= and the computer chirped and scene appeared.

It was a pleasant field surrounded by woods. In the middle was a low stone wall about ten yards from where Vonn stood. On the top of the wall sat a row of rusted steel cans, about a dozen of them. By Vonn’s foot was a large bucket filled with rocks of assorted sizes and shapes. Birds chirped in the trees, and every now and then a grasshopper would jump and fly across the view. The Breen stood and waited in silence.

Vonn, RTF CO

About ten minutes later Luna entered the holodeck. ” Hello in sorry I have to find some one to take Serenity unfortunately she managed to get past the computer lock and deactivated the holographic babysitter” Luna said shaking her head. ” I thought being a parent was sapose to be fun” she joked then focused in on Vonn. ” How are you today should we get started” she asked as she looked at the Saranding area noticing the bucket of rocks wall and cans sitting on it.

Vonn didn’t turn or make any move to acknowledge Luna. They stood motionless as Luna talked; and when she finished the Breen simply bent over, took a rock from the bucket, drew their arm back and let the rock fly at one of the cans. There was a loud CLANK as the rock struck the can and knocked it off the wall. The helmet then turned to Luna.

“Knock down all the cans.” and they gestured to the bucket of rocks.

Vonn, RTF CO

” ok” Luna said with I’m about three minutes she had knocked down all the cans she needed a few tries on the first one to get the hand of things otherwise she would have done it much faster. ” why are we throwing rocks” she asked confused.
Ensign Luna

As the last can fell, they suddenly reappeared. The helmet swiveled to face Luna. “Now with your other arm.” and the bucket refilled with rocks.

Vonn

” umm… ok” she said a little confused this time it took her around 4 minutes to knock the cans down she needed a few extra tyrs with her other arm. She looked up at Vonn wondering what throwing rocks had to do with shooting a phaser.
Ensign Luna

Vonn didn’t move or teact to the throws. If they were pleased or not was not knowable. Once again, the cans reappeared. Vonn said “Again. Alternate between arms each throw. Repeat the three cycles until you can do all three with only one missed throw. When you can do that three times in a row - one arm, the other, then alternating… missing only one throw - we will move on to the next phase of your training. Do you understand?”

Vonn, RTF CO

Luna looked at him for a moment she was half tempted to storm out of their let him kick her off the team. This was ridiculous. But she was two stubborn for that. So she did his crazy training it took her two maby three run through before doing the exercise correctly. Flying need some pretty good coronation so the task was not exactly hard.
Ensign Luna

When she finished the drill with only a single miss, the cans did not reappear. Vonn bent over and picked up the bucket and turned and walked twenty feet further away from the wall. They did not look at Luna, nor did they speak.

Setting the bucket down thirty feet away from the wall activated the program and two dozen glass bottles appeared on the wall. But because of the rough nature of the stone, the bottles did not all stand up straight. Some leaned forward, some to the side, some even leaned against another. The helmet swiveled and looked at Luna.

“Same drill. One arm, then the other, then alternate. Three times through, one miss only. You may only knock down one bottle at a time. If more than one falls, you start over. If the glass breaking knocks more than one over, you start over. You have three minutes to complete the entire drill successfully. If time runs out, you start over. Begin.”

Vonn, RTF CO

” would you mind designing ” Luna asked crossing her arms” what he was asking was impossible. Or at lest she thought it was. She was not about to wast time in an impossible task.
Ensign Luna

Vonn didn’t move for several long moments, the helmet remaind fixed on Luna. Finally the Breen bent over and picked up a handful of the smaller rocks from the bucket and turned to the wall. Remaining motionless again, it seemed as if the armored figure had once again become a statue.

Then there was a flurry of movement. Vonn’s arm whipped back and then forward and a bottle shattered. Then another. Then another. Down the line, one by one, the bottles shattered. When they reached the one supporting the leaning one, the hand grasped a larger rock and lt it fly, shattering both at the same time. In under a minute all the glasses lay in pieces, only to dissapear and reappear. Vonn stopped throwing and the helmet faced her.

“Begin.”

Vonn, RTF CO

Ok so it was not impossible. It would take Luna over an hour to get it right. She kept failing for one reason or another. The braking glass would shatwr other glasses or she knocked one of the bottles over. When she finly completed the exercise she looked at Vonn. ” Sir I have a question” Luna said.
Ensign Luna

While she tried, and failed, Vonn didn’t move. The Breen stood motionless as she threw rock after rock after rock.

When she finally completed the exercise and spoke, Vonn replied “Ask your question, Ensign.” and the helmet swiveled to face her.

Vonn, RTF CO

” what dose throwing rocks have to do with firing a phaser” she asked.
Ensign Luna

No response came from the Breen for some time. “What makes you think you will be firing a phaser, Ensign?” was the eventual reply.

Vonn
