Re: Prologue
The Nightwalker toweled off, the skin on his body feeling somewhat sensitive because of the extremely hot shower that he took. "Damn. Wonder just what our first mission is going to be..." He silently wondered to himself, while going through his daily routine; his mental review of some of the basics of his trade: shot placement, breath control, stalking, firing positions, etc. He was able to recall every single aspect quite well. Every Sniper was able to do such things.
"Wonder what the woman in charge needs with Evangeline..." Koenig wondered out loud to himself, making his way out of the showers with only his towel acting as a sort of shirt. Dodging past the numerous Marines running to and fro, he made a beeline for his bunk, with his eyes focused directly on a bulging pocket in his duffel bag. Sitting on his bunk, he opened the pocket up and pulled out a notepad. On this notepad where notes taken back from Sniper's School, containing notes on the most effective loads for a bullet. Although the most accurate load was meant to be specifically used on the rifle he trained with, he also had a load for a bullet that produced the most consistent pattern of shots in any other rifle.
"Anyone know if there's a shooting range in here? Or any Armorers that I can talk to in getting a Sniper Rifle tailored?" He spoke of the prospect of getting a sniper rifle tailored as if he were talking about a fine suit. In fact, it was the same. Each sniper had his rifle tailored to his exact specifications, truly, the weapon was a part of the shooter in his trade.
