Theta raised an eyebrow. "Worried I might still do something to you? Perfectly natural. Don't worry. Run back to your friends. Chances are, I'll be dragged back to you anyway by several clones, so you don't have to worry about finding me when the time is right. I have a hunch that'll happen sooner or later."

Zeta shook his head. "When I say 'we' I mean you and me. As I said before, we may be able to get you out of here."

"Respect? You want My Respect, Trooper Meat? Then theres only one way to do that. You earn it. Like I and every other ARC had to earn it from that b*****d Jango. Now go down to the Range and show Iota how to shoot. Dismissed."
he stepped back and made a half turn, then looked back to him.
"Oh, and if you see your medic, tell him to see me. I have to chew his a** out for getting lost in his own home."

"Yes sir.I dont need respect..."The rest of his sentance became a mumbled mix of grunts wich translated into 'just your head'.He left the room and followed the hallways that Iota did to the shooting range.Keeping his prescance unknown he watched over her shoulder,shaking his head at almost everything.I'll bet she didn't even pay attention to the basics of how to shoot a rifle."You know,if you dont worry about getting attacked or missing then the odds of hitting the target or not are increased.those who worry squirm,when you squirm you sweat,when you sweat you lose your grip and your edge.Concentrate and dont worry about hitting or missing.Keep your aim straight and your hand steady.When you shoot try to aim for the very center of your main target.If you aim for the middle of the target,aim for the small miniscule speck in the center.When you hit somthing close up hold the rifle lower or at your waist.If the enemy pops up infront of your ram it in with the but of your gun by bringing back the barrel and thrusting the butt forward with your elbow.When you need to reload keep your gun forward and back up.If you know a shot is going to miss move to another target.If you cant take the target out immediatley aim for a disabling point or a joint then fire a lethal kill.If you fire to disable then they still have a chance to kill you."he drawled on the taking the air of a teacher,a spartan one anyways.

"I have a hunch my presence so early would make quite a disturbance. When it comes to gut instincts, I'm usually right." Theta stated, wondering what else he could do... besides get off the planet.

" Thanks for the tips, but I know all that. I just don't have a lot of gun handling experience. " Iota said, continuing her shooting, lucking out by hitting 3 of 10 bullseyes, but completely missing the last few altogether. " Ugh! Figures. I get lucky then I slip up big time. "

When The Clone had left, Copy leaned against a wall and took his helmit off. He clipped it to his belt and drew a lucky strike from his bandoleer. he lit it and took a long drag on it.
He sighed and thought. "Great. I got a mentally unbalanced trooper and a daughter of Jango. why couldn't I have been leading other ARC's?" he muttered.
he pushed off the wall and started walking toward the infirmary. "At least its better than stasis. Now to find my rogue medic." halfway down the hall he finished his cig and placed his helmit back on.

"You may know all of it but are you putting it to use?I'd correct your stance but you'd probably jam your rifle down my throat so I'll just stand here.The new nat,er cap. told me to teach you how to shoot.So that's what I'm here to do."He grabbed his own rifle,set it the selector to single,and took aim at a target and shot at it.Using what he deemed correct stance,correct grip,and estimated distance he hit the center of the target."That was without any targeting programs.Now you try."

Iota watched Psi as he prepared to shoot, and tried to copy him exactly. She didn't hit a bullseye, but came pretty close. " There. Not a bullseye, but I at least hit the thing. "

"I told you.Just keep practicing."He activated the helmet's targeting program and switched the selector to full auto.Taking aim again but with a waist position he fired,ripping a target to pieces,if it was solid.Satisfied with the results he slung his rifle of his shoudler and continued to couch Ioda.In the back of his head,thoughts of killing the commander still poped around.

Iota continued shooting, listening to Psi as he coached her. In time, she was getting better, though she was no marksman. " What do you know? I think I'm getting the hang of this. " This time she hit 5 of 10 bullseyes, and managed to get pretty close with the rest except for 1, but even then she still managed to at least hit it.

"See?Now that you can hit a droid you should be pretty safe.I doubt would want to move on to vehicles,larger droids,and turrets.That takes quite a bit longer to get the hang of."He chuckled."I'll let you alone then."He turned and made for the door.

" Good luck dealing with the Captain, Psi. Just don't try anything stupid. " Iota said, still practicing. She continued on and on, until she felt she was as good as any other trooper, though whether she actually was or not was yet to be known.

"I'll deal with him alright."He replied just before the door closed behind him.Now in the hall he proceeded to go to the infirmary,expecting to find Zeta there.Well,now that that's all done time to give the captain somone else to verbaly rip apart.He thought.

Zeta stood thinking. He was going through various codes in his mind, trying to find loopholes for Theta. Though he was concerned for the pilot's wellbeing, he was also concerned for the other troops, and he felt that Theta's disturbances could conflict with them.
He brought his knuckle to his lips. Especially the captain.
He turned to Theta. "When we meet the new captain, let me do all the talking at first," he decided. "We'll see how it goes from there."
