A day at the Range (Open)

[Faclan]

(Well open as long as you can explain why you are at Indutiae and just say you are met by the security. :>)

Setting up a friendly party atmosphere...with bullets!

"Not to worry Mistress we replaced the targets just yesterday!" Tes nodding at the range master as he bowed and scuttled off back to the control station. Having to slide and roll around the caterers that were currently setting up a spread of food. It was a nice juxtaposition really. Not something normally seen at a dusty shooting range being a few buffet tables. But the Sangheili council thing at that ship wanted another meeting about laws and regulations about their town. So Tes and agreed - it was her duty to sit on the council!

But she got to pick the location this time. So she had chosen one of the longer range firing ranges that were not too far from their city ship. So both of them had to take a bit of a trip to get there and neither were too favored. Trying to be nice and balanced and all that. Besides the old grouch who was the elder of the elders always carried around that silver carbine of his. And she had a feeling he didn't do it just for show. Something they could both share some love about while they talked politics. Besides it would let them see another side of her which she was always for. Better to show people a side yourself than let them gossip. Thats what Pa had always said.

So here she was waiting for the council to arrive. Dressed in her casual attire of hoodie and cargo shorts, knee and elbow pads on and her personal gun set on the table behind her with several of its accessories. Moving out of the main shooting boxes to head out to near the road to welcome the council. It was a lovely day and the temperate was rather agreeable. With the sun thankfully behind the shooters when they were looking down range. She really couldn't ask for a better day. Her two trusted guards flanking her as she moved out but on the whole there were not many Kig-Yar about. She didn't want to Sangheili to feel overly outnumbered here. Unlike she felt at their ship. Hopefully they would pick up on that.

Flicking her PP on to check notes as she waited for their transports to arrive. The food and drinks being set out on the tables as well as a table with enough chairs for the meeting. But shooting first. Well at least she hoped it would be shooting first.

Ka’al Aguir - Cheif Elder of the Sangheili of the Ileum Delta
Enroute to Indutiae Sniping range
Home on the Range: The Council Conviens

“Could you fly this ship any more poorly?” Ka’al complained to his nephew as their decommissioned phantom wobbled about. The thrusters must have not been calibrated correctly, however with such limited resources, there was not much that could be done at the moment.

“I’m doing my best Uncle…” Sha’Mar, Ka’al’s nephew, apprentice, and a shipmaster who was responsible for transporting the elder council to their shooting gallery luncheon. Ka’al was often critical of his nephew. He had learned life's lessons through the harness of conflict, which his nephew had narrowly avoided. He straightened himself with his cane as the ship lurched to a halt next to the docking port that was present at the facility. Ka’al leaned his walking stick against the inner hull and left it with a look of disdain. His left hand held a metallic case, it’s shape resembles that of a long box; however, the case contained his modified Carbine and self ammunition to be used during the friendly competition.

As the troop bay doors opened, Ka’al hobbled out onto the platform with a muffled grunt. He, and the other elders, unloaded onto the platform to be greeted by the young leader of the king-yar, Commodore Kewl. The other elders, some packed for sport while others seemed visibly displeased with their meeting location, began to help unload some of their own personal gear onto the platform.

“Commodore Kewl, thank you for accommodating us on such short notice,” the sangheili grumbled as his slack mandible gave his voice a gritty and slurred sound. He was a deal taller than the Kig-Yar and was dressed in his armored like harness. His trident bearing Shawl denoted his station; however his plating was lined with subtle padding to help aid his poor joints. He noticed the table and other arrangements, and couldn’t help but appreciate the care that the Kig-Yar had taken to accommodate the council. Ka’al was more than pleased; however, it was clear to him that some of his peers were disgruntled at the thought of being taken care of and treated as “lesser beings” in their perspective. The sangheili way is a proud one.

Ka’al spoke again, “shall we get on to the festivities? Your father, before you, was always keen for a good sport, I am constantly reminded that your enthusiasm has been inherited.” He spoke in a softer tone, his mandible a bit more under control as he spoke. He was surely ready to bring out his firearm and the games, right after a long trip, always helped him relax while the less fun loving councilmen, along with some do their aids, would put together a large circular tent to be used as their council chambers. Hopefully the fun would help dull the seriousness of the meeting.

Greet n shoot.

Aecors swell he looked even more ancient outside of their ships interior! Likely due to the natural light and the more rural area they were in. Tes mused to herself as she kept up a smile and gave a slight bow when Ka'al walked out of the phantom and greeted her in turn. "Your settlement is also welcome and open to us so it would only be proper that when the time came for us to host we would do the same. I made sure that we collected several Sangheili dishes in case you and your circle did not wish to try some Kig-Yar food items." Mostly fish really. With a few smoked or dried insects too. Yum!

Though she had a happy little clap when Ka'al mentioned the festivities before she balked a little. Trying to take those one at a time. "It could help pass the time while the meeting table is set up yes Ka'al. And I appreciate the comments about my Pa. Though I thank you for lowering your voice when speaking about that." Tes now speaking quietly as well as she continued. "As their disappearance is still a sore spot for me but I'm trying to keep going as best as they taught me." Before she turned on her heel and headed for the range table.

"But time for some fun stuff!" Picking up her large single shot handgun she flicked open the chamber and left it there as she leant on it after clearing a space for the old Jellies large case. "This is my preferred piece for fun. One of the first Humans to come here gave it to my family. Though I'm sure your Shiny has a much more interesting story than that." A smirk on her face as well as one could be as several scopes and stocks were resting on the table behind her. Her none gun hand holding up a remote device that she was pressing as Ka'al would likely spot a target popping up down the range at around one hundred and fifty meters. Just to help the two unwind most likely!

A young Ibie'Shan moving up beside the two and quietly coughing. "Master and Mistress? Can I get either of you a beverage?" Tes nodding as she kept her eyes on Ka'al before replying.

"Aye, an Afternoon Light. For you Ka'al?"
