I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Sit down. Get some booze. No sane man should live like this. The solution of course is to become insane.

He looks confused for a second, and then a look of understanding comes across his face.

"Oh, you mean all of this," he says as he gestures at the debris on the ground. He ambles over to a segment on the wall, and pushes his hand through the wall, making a clicking noise.

Suddenly, everything in the room flickers out of existence, revealing a much larger, much cleaner room with small projectors coming out of every nook and cranny. The floor, ceiling, and walls are made out of smooth white panels that look somewhat transparent and there is a small rack near the door holding more of the lenses like the ones the man took off his eyes.

"You fellows must be new here. I'm guessing you're the new corpsmen, right?"

"Competitive. Want to play a board game?"

"Ah. You haffe peen blaying poard kame vith zomeone recently, ja? Schadovy berzon, in plack foid?"

Sit down. Get some booze. No sane man should live like this. The solution of course is to become insane.

You shuffle over to the bar, and plop yourself down on a stool. You gesture at the bartender for a beer, and he wordlessly fills the glass he was cleaning with some beer from the tap.

As he slides the beer across the table, the woman mutters into her drink. The man doesn't appear to have noticed that you've shown up.

[Will: 3+1]

Try as hard as you might, sanity refuses to leave you. Damn.

"yes. We came here to practice our shooting skills before the next mission, since this is presumably the closest thing we have to a firing range."

"yes. Some of this may not be in working order due to your chaotic flailing. I assume you were in some sort of simulation, but do be careful."
continue cleaning up and fixing what I can of the chaotic mess. At the very least make it look semi-organized.

"Yes. You know them?

It was a very... out-of-body experience. Because I'm pretty sure I was dead.

Wait. Does this mean god loves Boggle?"

"yes. We came here to practice our shooting skills before the next mission, since this is presumably the closest thing we have to a firing range."

The man furrows his brow in puzzlement again. "I guess you could use this place to practice shooting. I mean, most people use this to put themselves in movies, but whatever floats your boat I guess."

He fiddles with a panel on the wall. "Yeah, there's probably a combat simulation in here somewhere. Whatever, I gotta get back to work. Have fun with your shooting stuff."

"Yes. You know them?

It was a very... out-of-body experience. Because I'm pretty sure I was dead.

Wait. Does this mean god loves Boggle?"

"Nein, not Kod. Nothing zubernatural like zat. You vere sbeaking vith, vat is vord... oh ja, death. I haffe exberience vith zis pefore.

You zee, death is acdually alien peing. Ve zink zat it feeds off of zee bzychic energies of zee dying, ja? Am I making zenze?"


More booze.

Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says to love your enemy! Glug glug glug...

You start to feel a bit tipsy.

Head to the library and do research on alien weapons

The library is attended by an old man, drooping white eyebrows and a face that looks like it's seen the history of the whole universe and then some. His voice is barely louder than a whisper, wheezing out "Are you asking for the history of alien weapons or an encyclopedia of such items?"

...

Just figure out how to start practicing my marksmanship and do so.

You put on a clean pair of the eye lenses, and fiddle a bit with the panel the man in green was just using.

He apparently left three options waiting for you on the panel:
1. Practice Range
2. Combat Simulation Alpha
3. Tactical Simulation Delta

"Kinda. What would happen, theoretically, if I killed this 'Death'?"

Wiggle my legs. Make sure they work fine.

combat simulation is probably the best option, since merely shooting will not cover all the ins and outs of our weapon's handling. Hopefully it supports laser rifles?
