To: Everyone
This is Shepard.
It's come to my attention that there's a certain amount of you that have no particular practical experience with firearms, and who might like to change that. Personally I'm of the opinion that it works best if everybody at least knows enough of the basics not to blow your own fingers off, in an emergency.
Besides, knowledge is own reward, wouldn't you say?
So, if anyone's inclined to come down and ding a few targets, show off, or just have a drink and shoot the breeze instead, I'll be making it a regular occasion for the next few weeks to have a little range set up on the Horizon. Look for the big silver spaceship with "Normandy" printed on the side. Can't miss it.
That's all.

Will you also be teaching how to 'shoot the breeze?' Accomplished as I am with hunting, I have never been managing this before!

Come on down.

[Another turn of phrase for her to make note of! It's up there with 'dine on dirt' as far as phrases she has taken far too literally.]
I will gladly come and learn what I can. This is being very generous of you. Is there anything that I might offer in return?
no subject
No excuses, no half-assed effort. If you can't pick up the skill, then you can't, fair enough. But so long as you come down here and actually put in the work, that's me satisfied. Got it?
