To plan to gnaw at the tree of truth..

[Nodoka Hanamura]

Nodoka raises her gun, only to lower it just after. "Aah. Set 3 out for me, varying ranges, preferably long." Bride shakes her head. "I Never said they lacked a punch, I meant that I prefer guns that do pack a punch. That thing - if what you say is true - packs a NEMP in a can." Nodoka laughs at Bride's joke. "hehe... NEMP in a can... Yeah.. I say if we do go through with screwing LC five days till Sunday, we just deliver them a NEMP in a can using a old Rhino." Bride turns to Nodoka. "Yeah, let's just mosey on down to Yaren and ask Archos "Hey, we're going to assf**k a bunch of terrorists secretly operating out of Kemmerer using a huge aluminum can, a WMD, and a even larger aluminium can with engines and airsoft turrets strapped to it, mind helping us with their package?"" Bride says, in her usual sarcastic manner. Nodoka's demeanor, as predictable as Nomads attacking the Freeport on her bad days - becomes irritated. "No, smartacre. I'm joking. Do it again and I'll show you what they did in my day when soldiers deal with people spewing that crap." she says, making a bashing motion with the stock of her rifle. Bride, concerned about irritating Nodoka to the point of physical asssault, of which, as a 'hybrid', she was no longer immune to - merely steps back, only to notice Honya's absence. "Wait... bookworm was with us, right?" she says, looking to Nodoka with a confused look and pointing to the entrance to the firing range. "Uhhhh.. yeah. Mark, did you see Honya?" she says, concerned about her friend and facing Mark.
