OoM: at the M'ways firing range
Trudy Chacon is a damn good shot. She has managed to drop Viperwolves, at night, while fighting the pain of a badly fractured leg, which is no mean feat given the humans to call those particular aliens 'liquid darkness'.
This is only partly natural talent. Sure, having a naturally good aim helps, but most of it? Practice. Practice, practice, practice, both at moving targets and still ones, and then go and practice some more.
So this is what Trudy is doing, lying on her stomach at the shooting range and firing her rifle. Most of her bullets are hitting in a nice cluster around the centre, but not all of them. She's a little off her game today, and that's annoying her.
It's entirely possible she's going to stay until her score improves. Or she's distracted.
Of course, given her reflexes and the fact that she's firing a loaded weapon, anyone approaching might want to wait until she's paused to reload before coming any closer.
