The screen cleared and began detailing the mission and Richmond’s stats. He ignored the data and went to disconnect her from her rig. The computers would automatically store her run in the archives.

Richmond started disconnecting the sensors as he walked up. “You had me worried there for a minute, Sarge. I almost believed it was real.”

He grunted. “Wait until you try one of my interactive simulations.”

“Interactive? All simulations are interactive.”

“Mine are more so. Direct connection via your node gives me the ability to link the simulator rigs into one programme. You might find yourself leading your squad on a mission, but they won’t be constructs, they’ll be other recruits on the link.”

“Sounds interesting,” Richmond said. “When do we do that?”

“After you’ve learned to use a few more of our toys.”

Richmond helped him remove the sensors from her body and then slipped into her uniform. Gordon was already with the others receiving congratulations. Richmond went to join him.

“Listen up,” Stone said and the recruits quieted. “You have time for a meal before we head over to the range. It’s time you used a real rifle.”

“Sergeant?”

“What is it, Cragg?” Stone sighed. There was always someone with questions in this bunch. Why couldn’t they wait?

“When will we get our V2s?”

“Why? Have you someone you want to shoot?”

“No, Sergeant,” Cragg said seriously. “I want to practice my target acquisition. I’m not happy with how long it took me in the sim.”

“You could always go back in… no?” Stone said with amusement. “You will all be issued your rifles and pistols when I’m sure you won’t blow someone’s brains out by accident. Until then, you’ll use what I give you and be satisfied. Clear?”

“Yes, Sergeant!” the recruits shouted as one.

“Good. Move it out!” Stone roared and they double-timed to the mess hall.
