Season 2, Episode 6. Training

[blue_shields]

Rangers, once the weather gets warmer, we need to get out and start working out more. I'm going to be training myself to get even better and stronger, and I think we could all benefit from being in shape and becoming better fighters. We ARE the Power Rangers, after all; even if none of you are on the Guard or the Watch, it never hurts to be able to protect people and keep our bodies in good physical condition.

I'm sure they'll come around in time. And, well- I can't make them do anything, and they're still my friends either way.

[I'd app his ranger-pilot, she's a fascinating mess of issues and strength and genre-savvy, but she was in one of his squadrons, so probably too close.]

I'd advise starting slow - don't push a regimen on them, do something like invite them along on a run. Low-key. Unless they're dedicated desk pilots workers, they're probably not completely out of shape.

You're right. I probably came on too strongly...

[They've had just enough meaningful interaction to be too much, plus X-Wing pilots should naturally gravitate towards each other... oh well. If I ever tire of Rogue and decide not to bring him back as Vader, maybe.]

If they don't feel like you have rank on them, and they've been setting their own schedules, you'll have some trouble shaping them up quickly. Good luck.

Yeah. I think we were all equals, more or less. We've felt like friends more than comrades-in-arms the whole time we've been here, too.

[Aw, thanks! It's bound to take a while, anyway.]

It's possible to be both comrades and friends. Having one individual outrank and command the others can stress that, of course, but they're hardly mutually exclusive relationships.

True. I don't want to push them, though; none of them seem thrilled about the idea, so I'll leave them be for now.
