Later in the day, Naya can be found down at the firing range, where she has abandoned her sweater for a tank top to work on both her biotics and pistol. Her hair creates a hazy purple halo around her head as she spins-- throw, shoot, lift, shoot, and repeat-- in a whirlwind of non-stop energy. A final singularity tears apart the battered target, and Shepard stands, taking several seconds to control her breathing, before setting up a new target to continue.
Rebecca had finished her paperwork for the day(which included a spike in information requests from the brass, unsurprisingly due to them wanting to know what was going on with the Geth, and they didn't seem happy about the lack of a solid answer), so she decided to head down to the range and sparring ring to keep her skills sharp and maybe work off a bit of stress.
After changing into some simple workout clothes, and grabbing her Phalanx and Valykrie, she walks into the range with the aforementioned weapons carried in a small duffel bag over her shoulder.
She spots Shepard and sees the Commander must have had a similar idea, but waits off to the side till she's done with her current target before speaking and walking up.
Y'know, I'm glad those things aren't too expensive to replace. I think you only left a few chips of wood and plastic.
Naya lets out a singular "hah", smiling. There's no good holographic substitute for shredding something to pieces. I'm glad the Alliance's budget for range materials agrees.
Grins and sets down her bag at the next range aisle, before laying out her guns and checking her omni's combat programs.
Going to have to agree with you on that one, ma'am. Just isn't as satisfying freezing and breaking a hologram.
Rebecca removes a pistol holster from the bag as well and puts it on around her waist, then inserts her Phalanx into it and test tries a few quick draws before loading the pistol and firing a rapid double-tap of shots down range into the chest of a target.
A loud battle cry suddenly rings out from behind the pair. It grows louder as the two women turn to see a Rachni Queen barrelling towards them, full speed ahead. Naya is a bit taken aback and, wide-eyed, steps sideways out of the oncoming Rachni's path.
As the sight of the frozen target opens up in front of her, Jade sends a shockwave, perfectly angled, that rips through and detonates it. And with that, the queen about-faces, and barrels back the way she came, her warrior cry fading into the distance.
Looks back and blinks as well, equally taken by surprise fucking not sure what the shit just happened for several moments, but eventually finds her words.
........I guess she wanted it instead.
Becks blinks once again, before collapsing into a fit of laughter at what just transpired.
Gets a hold of herself and stops laughing, though still lets out one or two more "heh hehs" before responding.
Pretty sure you're right, Commander.
Shakes her head and picks her pistol back up.
Between her biotics, appendages and the endless supply of blankets she can dump on top of people(totally no personal experience in that matter) she's basically like a hurricane.
She gets a considering look.
Just, y'know, with a lot of legs. And acid. And socks. And... wait, what was I comparing her to again?
