On the Central firing range twenty five recruits sat around a large white barrel. On the barrel were dozens of to scale targets identical to the ones posted out on the range. Each man and woman was about six meters from the barrel and each held their rifle. Over the clicks of the rifles dry firing Captain Karm Deren spoke. Remember to use your thumb to set the safety on your rifle before you move from the firing position. As he spoke he watched with an eagles eyes at each of them in turn. When on the range if your rifle jams don't try to fix it yourself. Raise your hand and a wait for an instructor to check it for you. This was the second day doing this exercise and none of them had fired a live round yet. Tomorrow they would be issued bullets and then the target practice would begin. Some of the other classes were issued live rounds on the first day but Karm like to give his students time with the rifles before they began firing them for real. This way they could practice the basics in a stress less situation which Karm believed helped make them more relaxed when the real shooting began. Remember to hold your breath as you gently squeeze the trigger. His class always scored the highest out of any other the first day and Karm believed that his methods were to thank for that. Pausing in his litany of basic range safety rules he bent down and helped correct a young blond man. Remember to put down your rifle before getting out of the prone position. Finally Deren dismissed the class and another instructor escorted them off the field. |

When he was alone Deren stood looking down the range for several minutes. For two years he'd stood out here doing the same thing every few weeks with a new class. At first he'd found some pleasure in it. Or at least he'd enjoyed the peace. Peace after so many years of fighting had been such a relief but he just didn't find teaching very fulfilling. In a flash of movement he turned drew his left pistol and fired. The bullet slammed into the middle of the target but just missed the bullseye. It was a decent shot with a rifle and should have been impossible with a handgun but Deren was not happy with it. Two years ago he could have made a perfect shot from even further away. His skills were getting rusty thanks to standing around and just talking everyday. Holstering his weapon Deren walked off the range. |

Captain Karm Deren had a small office tucked in the back of a storage building near the range. He'd been offered an office in the main building but argued that he worked mostly on the range so it was the best place to set up shop. Entering the office Karm loosened his uniforms collar and poured himself a drink. He sat down heavily at his desk and began catching up on his paper work. On impulse he paused with the official work and filled at a request for reassignment. Karm didn't expect it to be approved but there wasn't any harm in asking. Putting the request in his outgoing basket Karm returned his attention to his paper work. |

Captain Deren looked up from his paper work at a familiar sound. It took a moment for him to place the sound but when he did he jumped to his feet and ran to the rifle rack on the wall. The officer didn't know what was going on but a battle seemed to be going on over near the main HQ buildings. Grabbing a sniper rifle off the rack Deren ran out of his office and towards the commotion. |

Before leaving the headquarters building Deren filed his request for reassignment and included a request to join the hunt for the hormunculi. Never in his career had he faced such a deadly enemy and they were exactly the kind of threat he'd hoped to defend the nation from when he'd joined the military. He wasn't going to miss out on that action. Standing on the firing range Deren trained with the new high powered rifle he'd picked up at the armory. Trying a few shots in the standing, kneeling, sitting and prone positions Deren began to get a feel for the weapon and was quickly able to account for the bucking action after each shot. It wasn't long before he was able to fire multiple shots in a row that stuck the same point on the target. As he fired he began to realize that for the first time in years he felt excited. Deren finally had a mission worthy of his skills for the first time in his career and that challenge gave his life a purpose. That was something he'd lived without for far too long. |

Deren finished the clip in his rifle and lowered it after checking the impacts through his scope. Nodding in approval he sat down on the ground. After a few hours he’d finally gotten a handle on the weapon and was scoring perfect shots with ease. With practiced ease he pulled the trigger guard down unlocking the trigger mechanism from the stock. He set it down and pulled the stock off the barrel. Setting the wooden stock down he began to disassemble the cylinder group. First he removed the gas cylinder and set those pieces down on the ground. As he began to remove the operating rod spring and following rod his mind began to wander. He indulged thoughts of a career in something besides the military. Maybe he could become a baker or open some kind of shop. Shaking his head and showing a rare smile as he began removing the operation rod handle. No the military really was the only place for him. All his life he’d been good at one thing and that was combat. Sometimes it scared him how easy killing was for him. There was no pleasure in the act. It was just his job and he took pride in defending his nation. He just wished that a day would come when his nation wouldn’t need him to pull a trigger anymore. Setting down the parts of the receiver he quickly finished dismantling the last parts before he used pipe cleaners to clean out the powder residue. After nearly an hour the rifle was oiled and reassembled. He could do the job in about twenty minutes but he found the work relaxing and took his time as he got to know the new weapon. |

With his long duty shift over Karm Deren set his new rifle in his office off the side of the range. When he was finished changing out of his uniform into a pair of tan pants and white shirt he left the office and headed away from Central HQ. |

A tired and injured Karm Deren returned to his office after being away in Youswell for what seemed like ages but had only in fact been about a week with the travel time included. The whole ordeal had been much more than he had anticipated and very nearly died several times. He hung his uniform jacket on a hook by the door and then fell into his chair behind the black desk. He had to fill out a full report on the events that had taken place on his trip but that could wait for five or ten minutes while he rested his eyes. Leaning back Deren quickly drifted off to sleep. |
