Chapter 1: Sticks and stones can break my bones...

ObnoxiousFrog had had it.
During the early months of the war, the New Dawn outfit promised a lot. They planned to strike well and strike hard. Sure enough, initial organization became useless as time dragged on. The outfit became a group of Zergers. He left a while ago.
His job in the military was much less than he expected. NC weapons were crude. The facilties werent as maintained as Terran ones. There was less glory, less morale, and more generals telling people to sacrifice entire continents to save a home one.
He had a few friends, but no real longtime buddies. Most had stayed loyal to the Terran Republic. Hamma, Sputty, Incompetent...Jesus, there were so many. If only to meet them just for a little, no weapons fire...
The NC rhetoric on the Terran Republic was extremist at worst, a little exaggurative at best. He was happier over there, back in the old days. He didn't break the law, and the colonial government didn't seem that bad...
He remained loyal to the blue and gold mostly because of circumstance. He refused to admit that he wanted to see his friends. He reminded himself that he was not going to just walk in, that he would face severe penalties. But overall, he was still NC- though just by a hair. He saluted the flag, he fought, he died, he respawned, and bled again.

The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
