There was one weapon in particular stored there that the Guardsmen were sworn not to touch, a custom Remington MSR, stored in a case simply marked "MB's." This was Mistress Bird's old service sniper rifle from days long before she was President of a newly-formed Kagetori, and part of the reason Kagetori came to existence, and she kept it cleaned and maintained, though largely unused.
And for the first time in years, Bird took it out, not to make sure it was clean and operable, but to set up and practice. Her favored rounds? 7.62mm NATO, or .338 Magnum depending on whether she's wanting to maximize her distance. Right now? She was just using the NATO rounds. She needed to re-sharpen her skills. She didn't know this Smoochnger lady's face, but she imagined the most hateful woman she could think of and methodically trained her shots.
Pop. Chamber a new round. Pop. Chamber a new round. Occasionally switch out clips. Lather, rinse, repeat. Like a machine. The machine she used to be.
The machine she was long before. When Sophia still loved her. Before Bird left to go free and start a new country and broke her heart.
Bird's thoughts strayed while reloading. Eris would certainly be seeing an alien side to her, the side that was willing to kill for her beliefs. Would she break another lover's heart in the pursuit of trying to remind her ex why they had loved each other? She hoped not; she loved Eris just as much.
And both of her beloved friends would benefit if that Smoochnger bitch was permanently eliminated. The Mistress President usually didn't much care for such grisly business...but it wasn't the first time she'd struck a prospective tyrant down with prejudice. As much as Sophia said she didn't want Smoochnger killed, it would likely come to that...and the former freedom fighter once known as Falcon Eye would be ready.
Pop. Headshot. Falcon Eye was back, bitches.

"Bird!" she shouted over the gunfire, making sure she was wearing ear protection. " That's some nice shooting!" Certainly not the reaction Bird had been expecting, especially when Eris armed herself and started firing at targets too.

"I've got to go take care of non-critical business. Some aides told me this morning that there's people causing deaths in the Kagetorian rural sectors by making them wear masks of shame for even slight perceived wrongs, and I've got to straighten them out."
