The crew of the Cervidian-flagged HMS Summersong is an eccentric group of (mostly) ungulates, freelance adventuring their way around the galaxy in search of excitement, riches, and... "romance". They might not be pushing the edges of known space, seeking new life and civilizations, but that doesn't mean they don't explore some strange worlds, and they certainly have plenty of tales of action and excitement to share!
This is not one of those tales.
This is the story of two of those crewmates killing some time together and bonding over a little target practice during an exceptionally long FTL jump that has everyone bored out of their minds.
************
At ~1.5k words this feels more like a "word sketch" than a full length story, but I haven't posted any writing in a while and while I initially didn't plan to post this one, it's kinda grown on me. No TF in this one and no raunchiness, just... two of my characters playing out a scene that kinda popped into my head when thinking about sci-fi things, doing some chatting and bonding. IN SPACE!!!
I didn't ask them to proofread or edit, but I did show this to
Sylacious and 
Duhad who said nice things, and I'd like to thank them for that.

Awww… thanks!
My headcanon for Mary has long been that by nature of being an ultra-advanced rubber android/drone, she’s incredibly knowledgeable across a wide range of fields as well as deceptively strong and dexterous, easily the most competent character in my herd… but she just wants to be a squishy and supportive synthetic friend (and maybe occasionally a bit of a TF-enabling tease). So she’s sort of a quiet, squeaky safety net whose capabilities they forget about until they either need bailed out or it comes up in an amusing way like this.

I have no idea if that's possible/practical, but it's THE FUTURE and the 7' tall, non-binary, caprine space paladin needs some weapons that would knock normal folks off their hooves.
In the weirdest of acknowledgements, I believe you can thank Gamespot and Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries in the UK for the HK slap being in there? The idea started in my head with the crew getting into some type of bind, Gwen gets injured which sets off Mary's self defense programming/instinct, and she precedes to pick up Gwen's big, belt-fed gun and wield it better than the big goat herself, but I believe after seeing a "Firearms Expert Reacts..." video where some game got the MP5 wrong, the idea morphed into Gwen trying to keep things simple for the cute lil sheep who manages the ship while they're out doing space adventures... only to have Mary go off-script and do the cool thing.
And thank you!
