    “How did you break through the PK field Counterpoint was mimicking, Erik? You shouldn’t have been able to stop him.”



    But, more importantly, what is this:

    the inevitable final-period class he ran once a year


    'Cause its the only appearance of Tangent, Poindexter, and a few others.

    • Actually I have a question. Poindexter? Is that the actual name or codename of a student, or was Gunny just using it as the slang for a nerdy kid whose name he couldn't recall?

    Counterpoint's injuries might have been limited to the two dislocated joints. In that case, it's not a matter of breaking through the field, but going around it. The field has to allow its owner freedom of movement at joints, but there's no rule requiring that movement to be consistent with joint integrity.

    Yep! We also saw Caitlin do the same in Call the Thunder, Part 7 . That boy does not learn from his mistakes.

    I thought it might be, but the Dragonslayers video doesn't seem very gun safety focused? Or am I remembering / interpreting it wrong...

    There was some bit about why he plays that video, but forgetting it right now and on mobile... Maybe I'll end up figuring it our for myself before someone responds...

    inevitable final-period class he ran once a year, corralling every student working on one of the ranges for a rather grim evaluation of actual battlefield conditions, and the heroes did not always win.


    Doesn't feel very specifically gun safety to me, but then again, this is Whateley, where regular is irregular?

    • I think it is on "gun safety" on the sense of "guns are really, really dangerous. Look, even a very powerful mutant can be put down with them." But I agree that the general tenor of that class was more on the sense of "don't you EVER think you are invincible, and that regular humans are no threat." Which would make it an appropriate class for everyone taking Combat-oriented classes.

    Pretty much this.

    If I were to give a name to the class, it would be "Reality Check" class.

    • Bardue, Wilson, Everheart... any of those could work. I mean, it was implied (in "There's an Angel in Dickinson Cottage," I think) that Wilson pretty much took over the role of Range Nazi in honor of his "dead" friend.

    • Different classes.

    Wilson did the entry orientation and lit someone up for waving an unknown weapon in angel in dickinson.

    He's the range safety instructor.

    The class mahren taught was a once-per-school year range orientation.

    The class would not be repeated until fall 2007. Another instructor would have that class. Hence why mahren only teaches it once every four years. It was a duty shared by Bardue, Mahren, Wilson and McQuiston.

    It is a "welcome to reality" class.

    It is a requirement for all students who kiss dirt on any range. Optional for sims, but highly encouraged.

    Mahren was a frequent offender in the sims used as a training example of just how hard baselines can be to put down. Now his vehicular hijacking is pure. Cheating, but it wasn't outside the realm of belief.

    Not that he liked being pitted against kids. At all. He was absolutely fine with going toe to toe with any teacher, even if he knew he couldn't win.

    Mahren used the Darwin Dragonslayer kill as his object lesson because of guilt. Its also hard to find a more poigniant illustration.

    You will happily see more on that later, as my muse decided that the Outcasts Australian Christmas needed to be shown. The Darwin Ragers Night March in December shows the memorial for that disaster.

    You guys came Sooooo close to just getting Australian noodles for that one... which I think are just still called noodles. ;)

    Not that the story's finished and out there so....

    But, JG's been furiously cranking away at it so there's certainly more certainty than hope at this point.
