[Maketh's face is all business. If her authority has been questioned, then obviously the solution is to prove that she is doing everything possible to make the Guard as strong and efficient as it can be. She holds up a large rifle to the screen. Some of you might recognize it as Lilith's sniper rifle. Others might simply note that it's the gun that Maketh tends to tote around everywhere.]

I am looking for someone with training in long-range weaponry who would be willing to assist me in mastering this weapon. I never had official sniper training in my world. I would like this error to be corrected.

i seriously doubt SNIPING is going to help us fight them, but whatever helps you sleep at night i guess

every time i think your empire training bullshit couldn't get more fucked up, you prove me wrong. like, i'm nor saying knowing how to shoot like a sniper is bad, but you take this to some weird obsessive level way too often

[At least Chris possesses some chill regarding this whole shooting shit thing.]

it's protocol where you CAME FROM. omg we've been over this. there's no empire here, you cn chill

[She says, as if she possesses chill herself.]

maybe sit down and think about what might actually work? like, you have henry and the rest of the guard to talk it out with. strategizing, that's a thing, right?

[It's a shame this is over text because that last sentence is just dripping with sarcasm.]

im not very good at "chill"

[And it bothers Maketh, a little, how easily the answer comes to Emily. It's not her job to know strategy, not like it is Maketh's, and yet something that seemed impossible - or just set in its way - fell so easily to her.


yes that

would be acceptable

no shit

[That's not meant to be mean, but it's text, so it might not come across that way.]

which is why you asked for SNIPER TRAINING??

[Text]

[mismanagement]

to protect people

[Except that doesn't seem to be working. Maketh doesn't understand why.]

i won't



i don't understand
i have to be better

[unfollowing]

you have the right end goal but questionable execution

whatever, just try not to jump to murder right away

[mismanagement]

what


would be the proper execution

[unfollowing]

idk, i'm not military. maybe just not immediately going "i'm gonna punch the shit out of what i think is threatening me"??

[mismanagement]

oh

[Maketh isn't really sure how to do that.]

not here
