Solaris, Practice Room
Har has arrived.
Karagin has arrived.

Karagin walks into the room, his eyes aren't on anything in perticular. He 
begins to run his hands along the wall of weapons. "Greetings," he says into the 
wall, meaning for Har.

Har looks up from prying off his boots. "Hello." He manages a wave while 
balancing awkwardly. "Did you want privacy for practice?"

Karagin continues to run his hand along the wall as he walks. "No, I did not 
come here to practice, mearly interested in who was in here at the moment," he 
says as he looks over to Har.

Har pushes his boots to the wall so that they're out of the way. "Really?" For a 
minute he looks like he'd walk over, try to shake a hand, but then he shrugs in 
a half-bow. "Pleasure to meet you."

Karagin stops, turns and half-bows also. "Pleasure is all mine, Gazel Ministery 
Personal Assistant Karagin," he says, a smirk on his face.

Har nods and brushes his hair back. "Major Har Trepan, Surface-Air 
Coordinations. Gazel Ministry, right? Should I call you sir?"

Karagin shakes his head, "No, that is not required.." He studies Har for a 
moment and continues speaking, "Surface-Air Coordinations? Interesting, an adept 
pilot.. How about ground fighting?"

Har laughs and takes off his jacket, to throw it over his discarded boots. 
"Afraid not. I do tactics and assignments, as well as investigations and 
surviellance. I don't get as involved in personal combat anymore, can't direct 
troops as efficiently if I'm being run over myself." He grins and waves his hand 
in a stampeding motion.

Karagin gives adbrupt chuckle before saying, "Well, then what are you in here 
for? Honeing up on your personal combat which your not good at?"

Har shrugs and walks out onto the mat with his bare feet. "Just because I don't 
get assigned to the front lines, doesn't mean that I shouldn't keep myself in 
shape." He chuckles. "Active mind, active body. And it's usually quiet in here."

Karagin hmms and agrees with a nod. "I agree with you, and I have noticed it has 
been rather quiet in here... I do believe most of the important people are off 
on secret assignments," he says.

Ryukumu has arrived.

Har begins to stretch out his legs and smiles. "Not enough though. But there are 
new people here, they could provide some fresh life. We need that too. Like Ryu 
here," and he waves hello.

Ryukumu blinks hearing his name mentioned as he walks in.  As he's walking in he 
also quickly salutes to the superior officer.

Karagin nods to Har while saying, "Yes, fresh life." Hearing the greeting to 
Ryukumu he looks over and nods, "Greetings Ryukumu, it seems you have made 
something of yourself lately."

Har starts rotating his ankles to get the cricks out. He nods to Ryu. "How're 
the classes? Hey, is Clarth around? I still need to get a check on your piloting 
abilities sometime, if it's all right."

Ryukumu says to Har lowing the salute, "Classes're normal-- boring.  I think I 
saw Clarth a few minutes ago..."

Ryukumu blinks, "Oh, as for piloting and junk, I gotta practice a bit with the 
new beam rifle before I get an evaluation."

Karagin seeing as he isn't much in this conversation at the moment, crosses his 
arms and leans against the weapon wall, between two axes. 

Har starts stretching out his fingers with a laugh. "That's true. Here to 
practice?" He's a conversational master tonight, that's for sure.

Ryukumu shrugs, "Not really.  It was too quiet in the other room, figured I'd 
come and see what was going on."

Karagin nods and speaks quietly from his spot, "Yes, it has been quiet in that 
room for awhile.. Karen doesn't seem to be that talkative.. Maybe it is my 
goulish features." He chuckles evilly.

Ryukumu decides to go along with what seems to be a joke and says, "Might be.  
^_^"

Har moves over to the far mats to give Ryu room. "Practiced with your sword 
lately? Always good to keep moving." He grins at Karagin. "The entire lounge has 
been almost dead. Maybe we're all just ghosts."

Karagin grins at Har while he pushes a lose blonde hair out of his face and he 
begins to walk back into the Lounge.

Ryukumu shrugs, "Practiced a little lately...  I'd go practice with the new beam 
cannon but Hydra's still having some minor upgrades being done to it.  That and 
I don't really have anything to practice shooting it with."

Har waves to Karagin as the man departs. "Nice to meet you again, Karagin. Want 
to go set up targets with Hydra?"

Ryukumu shrugs, "Like I said, 's still being upgraded.  Might be done though."

Karagin has left.

Har snaps his fingers a few times and a thin spark blossoms in his palm. "If you 
want, when I go back on shift I can register some target drones for you to use 
for later. I use them anyway to check on soldier's capabilities. But they're not 
being used right now, so they're stored on the first deck."

Ryukumu nods.  "I see.  Lemme check something."  Pulls out his handy-dandy PDA 
and presses the screen on a few areas with the stylus pen.  Blinks.  "'Upgrades 
completed'?"  Looks rather surprised.  "Wonder what else they did to Hydra."

Har starts twisting out the little fire like a thread between his fingers. 
"Going out?"

Ryukumu nods.  "You bet!"  Runs out of the room, apparently heading towards the 
western part of the first level Gear bay

Ryukumu has left.
