Shock appreciated the candour with which Calloway answered the question. There was honesty and a sense of vulnerability in her answer. He decided to remember what she had said.

“Thank you,” he replied. He did not have time to say much more, in only a few seconds the game would start. “I’d like to revisit this conversation at some other point. It has awakened important thoughts. But the game will start soon. Are you prepared?”

Faye snorted. “I was trained with a phaser rifle at twelve. I exist prepared.”

Surely, that was an illogical statement, thought Shock to himself. He did not reply, other than acknowledging her preparedness with an affirmative nod. He loaded his phaser.

“That makes sense.” Lt. Ducante responded to the Ensign. “I suspect they will want to see our skills in action and they will think it’s logical to attack defensively and make us the aggressors first. Plus most Vulcans I know play more defense than offense first.” He continued talking to his partner.

A low-pitch, but in high volume, sound went through the “arena”, signalling the start of the game.

Shock loaded his gun. He was ready.

OOC: Sorry for my tardiness in replying to this! I’ve been awfully busy in school. – Ric

OOC: Sorry for my long LOA i had a busy few weeks with school and i found out my dog is very sick.

‘Let’s win, so we just wait for them here? Jordy asked the Lt.

Shock found it fascinating that Kleine and Ducante hadn’t stormed off to fight him and Calloway – the “boys” were playing more defensive than he had expected. How come he had thought they would be more offensive in their game? He had hid behind a rock, peeked out and shot a laser beam off in the general direction of where he thought either of Ducante and Kleine might be.

Lt Shock (COS)

Jordy saw the beam near him so he returned fire to where the beam came from, after he shot his phaser he went back into cover. ‘Well they started shooting, now we just hope they start moving towards us.’ He said to Lieutenant Ducante.

Kleine had fallen into Shock’s trap, and made his location known.

“If I stay here, and keep firing on Kleine from here, you might be able to crouch away, using those boulders over there as cover,” he said, pointing, to Ms Calloway, “and find an angle which Kleine couldn’t escape. I should be quite safe from being hit by Kleine here. I’ll cover you.”

– Lt Shock (COS)

Faye nodded. She could do the sneaky stuff quite well when she was of a mind to. She kept low and darted out, her slim body presenting only a small target, but with Shock covering her, she wasn’t worried about getting hit. The phaser in her hands was a reassuing presence as her mind worked through four different actions she could take once she reached the boulders.

Shock made sure to check where Calloway was crawling, while covering her with his shots heading in Kleine’s direction. Quick mental trigonometry made him confident that, unless she would suddenly rise up before reaching the boulders, she would be safe from any incoming shots from Kleine and Ducante.

Jordy looked at Lieutenant Ducante and said ‘Alright what do we do now?’

It was surprising though – Shock hadn’t expected that Kleine and Ducante would play as defensively as they did. Did Shock and Calloway need to engage them more, try head off to the opponents’ territory?

– Lt Shock (COS)

“We prepare for what they do, I see her crawling toward cover over there to try to flank you, but she won’t be able to hit you any easier than where Lt. Shock is firing from.” Ducante said behind a rock himself, firing toward Lt. Shock. “Just stay alert.” He continued.
