  Death Walks, Through the Smoke

Alater leaned back on his chair, relaxing for the first time since the mission on Tadath. His shoulder was in a wrap from a blaster bolt he had had the misfortune of having an argument with, and he had barely escaped with what he had. He sighed as he took another big puff on his cigar, a nasty habbit he had picked up on the mission, but apparently not as nasty as was possible. His body was used to having to deal with the dangerous effects of radioactivity on high levels, and therefor faught off the effects of the cigars with a resounding vigor. Maybe in sixty or so years it may begin to cath up with him but Alater didn't really care. They gave him a sort of calming effect that was the exact balance to his newly found Krsst abilities.

A long rifle sat next to him, a sort of hunting rifle slugthrower he had picked up at a local store for a little discount. He had found that being roughly seven and a half feet tall and looking like a monster out of a child's story book had made him a very good price negotiator. He hoisted the gun and chewed down on the cigar.

"Pull!" Alater barked and lifted the rifle with one hand. His weapons droid pulled the lever on the target shooting device, and off went a solid clay disc. Alater waited a second and then pulled the trigger. A loud crack resounded with the sound of shattering clay as the target exploded into quite a few peices. Alater sissed a little bit.

"Good shot." Muttered Gimp, the newest member to Eclipse squad, sitting on Alater's far left next to Doc. Doc looked over at Alater but didn't say anything. His little form was clothed in comfortable clothing, not even a rank on his shoulders. Alater had never seen Doc so relaxed without a female present, and so was glad to see his Brother in such a good mood.

"Yes well, it's not a challenge anymore." Alater said, and it was the truth. There wasn't really a weapon in the Empire he couldn't pick up and use with proffesional accuracy and skill. That's what happens when you're a Heavy Weapons Specialist, you get tired of shooting things that don't move and shoot back, and even then only if they know what they're doing. If you're not in danger of dying or getting shot then what's the point.

"Why is he even here Doc? Matter of fact, if he is here where is everybody else? This little spot is perfect." Alater said, looking around. They had found this nice little grove at the edge of a forest. Perfectly sunny, with high green grasses that were very nice, the end of the forest was visible, a cliff face running down to a beach. If one were so inclined there was a path down to the beach, and known only to Alater there was a cave about halfway down that was hidden in a blind. Alater called for another pull and fired off at another target.

" Did he just ask why I'm here?" Gimp thought to himself. "I wouldn't have even found this spot if it weren't for him. Stupid lizard. I'll show him."
"Pull!" Gimp yelled, as the droid dutifully obeyed, he smoothly whipped out his barely used E-11. Seven shots rattled off in quick succession. Gimp watched as some shots hit trees and others sailed out of sight, but the clay target remained unscathed.

Riotous laughter came from Riqimo and Alater while Gimp stared at the ground and shook his head. More time on the shooting range was obviously called for.

"Hahahahaha, really rookie, is that the best you can do? Is that what we can really expect from the newest member of Eclipse?" Alater chided.
"Pitiful. Just pitiful." Riqimo softly stated.

Not wanting to leave his new superior officers too disappointed, Gimp tried to think of some way to prove his worth. He nodded his head a few times and walked toward the target shooter.

"Aw, don't shoot the droid rookie, its not his fault you can't aim." Alater joked.

Gimp ignored his comment and stopped five feet in front of the target shooter and faced it.

"Pull!"
As the target whizzed at him, Gimp pulled out the D'skar dagger he was never without. Like lightning he motioned as the clay came to him and jammed the blade through the edge of the disc, instantly impaling it on the small knife. He held up the knife, which now looked like a theme park lollipop, for the vets to see.

"Decent." remarked Alater.
