Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You got hit...in the head by something in my room?" Phoenix asked, watching his actions, "Did an object fall on top of you or were you playing with one of my magical items and it backfired? You know better than to mess with my things" She folded her arms, her face's expression a mixture of humor and annoyance.

"Nah, it's okay," Zeno Angha said, quickly accepting Phoenix's apology. He released the arrow and the arrow pierced through the target, very near the bulls-eye but not quite there yet. He glanced back for Phoenix's reaction, but saw her talking to the robot.
"What's this? The latest Redcoat defector, is it?" Zeno looked admiringly at Rex, the type of look Redcoat scientists give when they receive a new specimen. Zeno patted the robot on the head like a pet dog. "He seems rather attracted to you, General, for him to stay in the Bluecoat Base for so long."

"Yes he is a friend," Phoenix said, guessing that was why Rex had looked at her that way. She stared at Zeno, thinking about his words. "Huh, I never thought about that...maybe it's because I don't view him as still loyal to the reds, I don't know." She lapsed into silence, watching Zeno's expression warily, "He is not available for experimenting on if that's what you're thinking." She narrowed her eyes.

Rex became curious about the targets and decided to give it a try. His back opened up and a small box raised up from underneath and quickly unfolded into a medium sized gauss cannon and a small targeting piece came out from the side of his head and to his right eye. He waited for a minute then in a flash he shot at a target lodging 3 metal shards into the target's head and chest. The small revolver on the gauss rotated to another chamber and Rex fired once again, this time blowing the target's legs off. "Eee." he squeaked, obviously proud of himself.

((You know... military campaigns!))

Zeno Angha sighed and nodded, disappointed by the lack of a good response. He raised his handgun and continued firing at the target, with the bullets hitting near the bulls-eye. However, when he tried shooting with the bow, however, the arrow barely even hit the target. He looked at his hands and realized he felt more of Redcoat than Bluecoat.

Phoenix stared after Zeno, watching with interest as he effortlessly shot the targets with his gun, but missed as soon as he tried a bow.

That's odd... She thought, frowning, bluecoats normally don't have their best skills in modern technology The General would have to talk to Zeno later on. She turned and studied Rex as he shot, his skills still needed to be developed and she was surprised he even was able to touch the target.

"Good job." She said, "Truth be told, I didn't expect you to hit it, but you proved me wrong. Work more on that target every day and you'll get the bulls eye in no time." She smiled, then walked over to one of the elves, bending down to whisper something in his ear. He nodded and bounded off, disappearing. Minutes later, he came back with an M16A1 assault Rifle and two extra clips.

"Thank you." Phoenix took the gun from him, "I happen to have some skills with shooting guns also." She grinned and shot at a target in short round bursts.

"General," Zeno Angha said, firing his last round of practice ammo. He turned to Phoenix. "How would you like a duel? A practice duel, that is. I have a feeling I need to improve my combat skills. I'm much better at strategy than at actual combat; I think that's why I'm still an army captain. Speaking of which... when did Private Smith leave the room?" He looked to Phoenix. "Anyway, would you like a duel, General?"
