A Wandering Physicist [Open]

[anomaliiiiies]

Date & Time: Anytime after she made her post about Thor being gone
Location: Her apartment, and the Hold
Characters: Jane + You
Summary: Jane's keeping busy, by trying to train, and exploring.
Warnings: Um, none? Will edit if necessary


Jane's wandering the streets, or hanging out at her apartment, or at the library. She might even be in the training areas, trying to learn how to get over her distaste for weapons to learn how to use her plasma beam gun. She may or may not be successful in the latter endeavor.

[Jane has to scramble to avoid the training robots, and somehow manages to pass where Gordon can see her, while trying to make her way to the target range. She was already short and used to people running over her, but not when it involved being shot at.]

[The man does an obvious double-take when he sees her. Oh shit he thought he locked the gate before starting the simulation--]

What the hell're you doing in here?! Get behind cover!

[Priorities have changed. Now he switches to laser rifle and jumps from his perch, firing aggressively on the run while the gunner robots spread out from their grouping to flank him. Good. That means they're not trained on her. He downs one with a single well-placed shot, but one of theirs hits his left shoulder. However, it does little more than punch him to the side while the powered plates of his armor dissipate the impact.]

[Jane doesn't argue, deciding it was better to listen and not get shot at, and dived behind cover, making herself as small as possible. Which wasn't much doing, but still.]

I was trying to find the range! [She yells, from her safe spot]

[He really should have chosen the "alien planet" setting in hindsight. At least no one would have mistaken that for a Hold loading bay. He climbs a stack of pipes, crossfiring with another training drone and causing it to spiral to the ground, and in one motion swings the rifle into a hatch in the back of the suit and taking out... a crowbar?]

[It's an unlikely melee weapon but the last floating drone just over the ridge of pipes never sees it coming. He swings and impales the hook of the crowbar into the housing of the robot and swings it down like an axe, smashing it to the ground.]

... [As the 'bot sparks and convulses on the ground, he looks up] ...All clear! You can come out now.

[Jane waits a moment, catching her breath from the fright. That wasn't exactly the most well planned or graceful attempt, but she was alive, and that was really quite amazing.]

[She peeks over the edge of her cover, before edging out, still a little cautious.]

That was a pretty good display. Um, I didn't realize someone else was here, I'm sorry.

[trustycrowbar]

It's not your fault; these things are supposed to lock down when there's a live-fire training exercise going on. [He stows the crowbar in that shallow hatch at his back, and scratches his short-cropped hair with a gloved hand.]

I really don't know what could've happened. Either I failed to engage the security subroutine, or the damn thing's on the fritz. Either way, I ah, I'm sorry you had to wander into that...

...You're alright, right?
