Sword Dancers 16/23

Sigrún: We only have two Mark 15’s in the locker . . . enough for one-on-one exhibition shooting, if you like.

Thorn: I like!

[Sigrún]

Thorn (thinking): Am I . . . a better shot than Captain Sigrún? Even if it’s just on this device, it’s hard to believe . . .

Several shots later.

Thorn (thinking): Ahhh. This, I can believe.

That definitely checks out.

The pun, it burns us it does

Hey, for a pun it’s right on target.

You could say the Captain is quite the marksman.

He has very good control of his shots. But at this rate, why not just make a cross on the bullseye?

Presumably the ‘check’ is a reference to something else.

Reminds me of Sherlock Holmes shooting a “VR” (for Queen Victoria) on his wall with a pistol.

It’s like the difference between “accurate” and “precise.”
