Combat orientation?!
06 Sep 2021Aylin Ouyang
Well, the day took a strange turn. Apparently someone or someones (I don't know who) missed out on the fact that I come from a civilian background and have no combat experience of any kind, so they're thrusting me into further combat lessons or something like that. Advanced Combat Orientation they called it? Basically they want to make sure I can survive some level of hostile space activity, since it does the PeeFs no good if they send pilots that can't handle an interdiction from some backwater system pirate.I've been reassured that the weapons involved will be greatly powered down, but that doesn't set my heart at ease really. The closest I've ever been to combat was last year during that snafu of an attack, but SysAuth did all the fighting and I didn't even see the hostiles.
Not too long before I need to report in. Can't I just stick to cargo toting and data schlepping?
