Utem glanced from one woman to the other, wondering how would both react to his offering furthermore, he considered, would either of them ask about the source of his knowledge of the base? He had always intended to keep his life as a businessman away from his military and personal life, having succeeded mostly in these years.<br/><br/>Smiling at Ashleigh, he nodded. "It would be best to leave unfinished business closed before we leave. After all we will be away for a while." he mused looking up. He waited for Hackett's reply before heading for the living quarters, to show Ashleigh where they were. "Here we are. I'll leave you so you can finish your work, see you at the jump." he said leaving. He headed next to the shotting range, the idea of relieving some stress with the targets also appealed to him.<br/><br/>Checking his bag briefly, he took out a gun inside it's holster, the safety was on and the clip was missing. He took the clip out of a side bag and a pair of protection goggles, leaving the ear protection where it was. He checked if there were others in the range before shooting, also making sure they were wearing ear protection or at least where at a reasonable distance from him.<br/><br/>Utem focused on the target, staring at it while holding the .45 with a practiced grip and stance. He pulled the trigger, feeling the recoil through his arm and minimizing it, almost mechanically. He emptied the rest of the clip in a quick barrage, the empty casings falling beside him.
