If anyone has found a model space ship, or something that looks like a model, in their mailbox in the past month, please let me know!

Thanks!

[Invisible lineface stubbornly returned. As far as Rinzler was concerned, there wasn't much Shepard could offer him in trade. If she demanded it back regardless, he'd comply, but if he was allowed to keep the model, Rinzler wasn't going to complain. Certainly, any other outcome didn't seem likely.

...

He really hadn't accounted for that answer.]

Accepted.

[No lag. No delay. Small simulation or a fight? No question.]

[squadgoals]

Ground rules:
-Fight to the knockout, or the yield.
-No use of deadly force.

I'd prefer a "no weaponry" rule (guns, discs, omni-tool, etc.), but let me know if that's too much. Can you fight without?

[notglitching]

Yes.

[Rinzler is a weapon. Rule two is earning more skepticism than the third one, really.]

[squadgoals]

Okay, to summarize:
1. Fight to the knockout, or to the yield.
2. No use of deadly force (See rule one: knockout only, no deaths.)
3. No weaponry.

Match will take place in the training room. Anything you want to add or addend?

[Apart from the (silent, offscreen, behind a mask) eyerolling, Rinzler's got nothing. He doesn't need that many reminders this is nonlethal. Probably.]

Ready.

[squadgoals]

Okay. Any time not good for you?

[notglitching]

[Now works best, as far as Rinzler's concerned. But fine. Plan things. See if he cares.

In lieu of a specific answer, the program transmits his current schedule of shifts with the transporters. He's set for at least one eight-hour block daily, with double-shifts upcoming when they make planetfall. But Rinzler seems to mostly have opted for the times when regular people sleep, so there's time free during daylight periods.]

[Not having to sleep like that... is that a twinge of envy?]

Copy that. I'll hit you up with a time in a bit.

[notglitching]

[Not having to sleep... not sleeping. There's a line somewhere between.]

Acknowledged.

[He'll be ready.]
