I probably should start doing this more regularly, but... you start to wonder sometimes. What's the point of keeping your weapons in shape if they don't even work like they should?

Considering it's a rifle, and I never loaded it with practice rounds? That's not good. I know this gun.

[He falls silent again. It's not just the rifle that's gotten his metaphorical boxers in a knot, even if he won't say so.]

Maybe they're just too used to people taking their orders without question.
