Celidon went to Dill, looked at the single row of decorations on his chest. 'You're on your... second enlistment?'

'You, Striker. What's your post?'

'Gunner, sir.'

'What's the maximum effective range of one of your Shrikes?'

'Classified, sir.'

'You think you could hit something under real-world conditions?'

'I know so, sir.'

Celidon smiled briefly. 'May your confidence be rewarded. What about your chainguns?'

'How long does it take to reload?'
