((Security Training Facilities - Security Center - USS Artemis-A))


Despite a very shaky start, Gavrin was relaxing under Natasha's tutelage, his aim was improving, and he wasn't being a complete disappointment in his first mosting.


Tarsan: Thanks, Lieutenant. Couldn't do it without your guidance.


Cole: ::still holding her slight smile, with a head tilt:: You’ve got a few more targets.


Gavrin took aim and fired again, landing the remainder of his shots. His grouping still needed work, but it was a clear improvement on before.


Cole: Much better, Ensign. Keep this level of improvement and I might see if I can poach you for security.


Gavrin was pretty sure that she was joking, but.. he couldn't be entirely sure.


Tarsan: Oh, well.. I'm uh... pretty happy in Engineering, Lieutenant.


Cole: ::laughing:: I’m joking about snagging you for security, but I am serious you are showing improvement and that matters.


Tarsan: ::letting out a sigh of relief:: Well - improvement's still not good right? ::laughing wryly::


Cole: Improvement is the point. Skill comes with repetition. What matters is that you’re listening, adjusting, and not letting one bad shot decide the rest of the drill.


The Ensign carefully lowered the phaser as he took a breath, Cole stepping up beside him. He could feel his heart beating faster from the stress the drill was putting on him, willing it to slow down again.

Tarsan: I was always good at taking instruction... Do you run all the new crew through phaser drills?


Cole: response


Tarsan: ::smiling faintly:: I'm not complaining - just didn't realise I'd be needing to practice again quite so soon


Cole: response
