"And you..." he went silent for a moment as he cocked his head, seemingly unsure of the Barber, "Gordon didn't mention you."
"He's our private investigator, the Barber," Gordon hastily added, "Quite skilled, from what I was told by my employer."

Monfrox wrote:"Well I uh..." Brit paused as she tried to gather a bit of a train of thought while her cheeks went red, modest as ever. "I used to be part of a paramilitary outfit back home. Was a Second Lieutenant, which is why I don't get weird about people calling me "ma'am" all the time. But it was mostly drill and ceremonies. Everything else is self-taught from years of reading." She looked over to rest of the group. "Glad everyone could make it. You guys all take a seat."
She walked over to the truck and grabbed one of the AKMs, checking to ensure it was unloaded, and sets of safety glasses and ear muffs. She put on her own range classes and a set of Peltors she was trying to familiarize herself with. She also tied the blue neckerchief around her right arm and came back.
"Well uh....Captain. I look forward to the rest of today, but first things first: I gotta take care of these guys. Some of 'em never even touched a firearm before, so I'll have to go over some things and then see how well they do. I took the liberty of putting up a backstop so we don't fill the fields full of copper and lead. Hope you don't mind, but I'm sure your guys don't need to be told which end of the gun the bullet comes out of." Brit said to Jim with a small smile before heading off with the AK towards the rest of the group.
What Comes Back
The walk wasn't long but it felt like it as soon as she left the presence of Jim and headed out. Her mind dredged up old memories and filled her head with doubts. Could she really do this? Minerva had placed her on the team and so she had thought so, but running this training was weighing. She was psyching herself out, and she remembered painful things from her past. Her expression, though shadowed by the bill of her hat, was tense and anxious for a second before she crushed those thoughts. No, she knew what she was doing. She knew how to teach. There would be no accidents today. She forced herself to believe it, and sighed when she picked her head back up and let the distress pass. Now was not the time for it. The time to give the group the know-how to use the tools at hand was the only thing she would worry about now. Incidentally, she stood and stared when she reached them. The look in her eyes was harder than usual.
"Alright, listen up!" She belted loudly with a perfect command voice. "Gather round and pay attention. We all got things to do and we don't wanna be here all day, so I'll keep this as brief as possible. First of all: Firearms safety rules. Rule number one, never point your weapon at something you do not intend to destroy! That means yourself, your buddies, and other important things. Do not flag me with your muzzle on the range or I will take your rifle from you! Rule number two, always treat your gun like it's loaded! Even if it isn't, and I hand you the firearm, double-check to make sure. This is key to learning how to respect your firearm and be safer with it. Rule number three, always be sure of your target and what's behind it! Bullets can over-penetrate materials and people, and no one wants to cause a problem. You own that bullet! Wherever it goes when it leaves the muzzle, you own it! And finally rule number four, keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire! Negligent discharges happen, but with proper trigger discipline, you can avoid a vast majority of them."
Brit took the AKM up and held it out at the side.
"With that done, I will now be talking about your primary firearm: The Soviet modernizírovanny Avtomát Kaláshnikova! OR, the A K M! This is an assault rifle. It was invented in 1959 as an upgrade to the earlier patterned AK-47. This modernization includes a bunch of things that I will spare telling you because it has no real impact on how you operate it. This is point and shoot! Children use these same weapons in some parts of the world back home where I'm from, and if they can use it, everyone else can too! This weapon has a magazine that holds thirty cartridges of seven point six two by thirty-nine millimeter ammunition! All magazines will be issued out by me and only me. To disengage your magazine once it is empty, push the lever here in front of the trigger guard and pivot the mag out. Then you take out your new mag, notch the front part into the magwell like so, and rock it back until the mag release catch is engaged with a soft click."
As Brit went on, she made sure to slowly go through the motion to avoid anyone missing any steps.
"Next, you need to pull the bolt back so chamber the new round. Take hold of the charging handle on the right, pull it back all the way, and then let it go forward. Do not force or try to slow the operation of the bolt moving forward, or your rifle will not respect you in the morning. As we go, I can teach more advanced reloading techniques if you want but for now, worry about the basics. Now onto the safety! The safety lever here has three positions: Safe, full-auto, and semi-auto. Safe prevents your trigger from being operated and also prevents your bolt from being pulled back all the way to chamber a round. The next position down is fully automatic mode, labeled "AB" or "AV" here. Do not use fully automatic mode. Ever. Unless you have a good reason, I don't want to see people spraying bullets all over the place. To that end, the next position notch for the safety is labeled "OD" and is semi-automatic mode. Fully-automatic means your gun keeps firing as long as the trigger is pulled to the rear until the magazine is empty. Semi-automatic means you fire one bullet when you pull the trigger, and you must take your finger off to let it reset to be able to fire again. This mode is the standard mode I want everyone to use."
She paused again to take a canteen off her belt and grab a quick drink to ease her dry throat from all the talking as she cradled the rifle in her other arm.
"Before I go on to how to shoot and what to do in the event of a jam, does anyone have any questions, comments, or concerns?"

It managed to take hold of several of Jim's men and either fling them aside or suck them downwards into itself, quickly consuming them in even more layers of grass. Seeing this, Darlene flew into action, carefully standing atop the table in order to launch herself towards those who had gone under and begin to try cutting them free with a knife she produced from a pocket.
The boy smiled with an angled look.
"Let's get straight to the point, huh?" he said, the grass still not relenting around him. "I've tolerated your presence here long enough. You and all your kind have thirty days to leave. If you're not gone by then, I will consume your settlement from the inside out."
"Who are you?!" Dar demanded, struggling to keep up with the grass as it continued to grow twice as fast as she could cut and slash.
The boy didn't answer.
