003 ◢ AUDIO;
As some of you may have noticed, a very significant portion of this crew isn't ready to stand up and fight if something happens, whether it be on or off the ship, as our recent shore leave proved.
If you don't want to learn how to fight, that's fine. However, if anyone is willing to learn, I'll offer what free time I have to teach basic hand-to-hand. I'm a trained Marine, and while I come from what some of you might consider the future, the basics on using an opponent's strength to disarm them have remained the same over the generations.
I'd like to focus on teaching people how to disarm an armed opponent and escape without injury, but if anyone wants to learn anything more advanced, feel free to contact me either here, or privately.
I'm not interested in arguing the pros and cons of civilians getting involved in a fight, so save your breath if you're going to raise complaints. I'm trying to make sure people who want to defend themselves have the tools they need to do it. All things considered, we could use a little more of that right now. ["And a little less irresponsible behavior" goes unsaid, but implied. Shepard is all for cutting loose and having fun, but not when people have been disappearing and dying all willy-nilly. Right now is a time for srs business.]

Yeah. [obviously sarcastically cheerful tone inserted here] Good luck with that.

Okay, if you say so. I can probably teach you a few things.
[audio]
I'm - I'm not sure what I can offer in return -- heheheh -- but I'll take you up on that offer, if you wouldn't mind.

[This one's used to people wanting something in turn for services like that; the idea that not everything had to be repaid in her services was a concept she was still getting used to.]
It seems like a steep responsibility to want everyone to stay alive -- heehee -- but I guess I can at least promise that I really don't want to die.
[audio]
[audio]
[Even if it still seemed like a lot more work than necessary, to her.]
So - uh - where and when do you want to do this?
[audio]
[audio]
Heheheh... just let me know when you figure out a good time, all right?

I just don't want to give these people false hope.

Maybe it'll turn out a bad call, but false hope is still hope. And we could use more of it, right now.

Just don't want you getting your hopes up is all.
[ yes, this is karas odd attempt at caring (in some small way) as she has seen what happens when people who don't cut it pay the ultimate price. Guilt is a bad thing, okay? ]

It's... Not a bad suggestion. [Cough. Cough. AWKWARD.]
no subject
It's just a matter of whether or not I'm taken up on it.
no subject
[That's sort of his problem. Even if he acknowledges he's a crap fighter, he's not just gonna sit there- he'll do something, even if that something usually gets him beaten all to hell.]
I'm... Up for it, BTW. So we don't have a repeat of... Yeah.

[She's been living on the edge of a knife for a while, but the mood swings of people not experienced with danger still take some learning. And without her people-watcher on board anymore, she's swinging in the dark, now.]
Anyway. Don't worry about what happened on the outpost, but I'm glad to hear you're willing to learn a few things.
no subject
[Sociology nerd, ho.]
You'd be the third person who offered to teach me. I figure I can save myself some embarrassment if I just accept I need it. [And being just the science guy isn't cutting it.]

I don't know if you ever met my pilot or not, Jeff Moreau? He has a degenerative bone disease, and I've still seen him fire an assault rifle and drag his ass through a burning ship. You'll do fine with a few lessons.
