Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Thursday Morning

They were in Antartica. He'd already explored some of the area-- next week, he might have to look up a few research stations, provided they were still roughly in the same locations as they were back home.

Antartica also, however, meant something else; and while the Open sign was on the door during the morning, Cable seemed generally more preoccupied with balancing weapons and contemplating some of the guns than he was with the actual operations of the store.

If you think he'll listen.

Worf nodded to Cable as he entered. "Sir," he said in greeting.

"Morning, Worf," Cable greeted in return, regarding one of the weapons cases thoughtfully. "It's free."

"Thank you," he replied and then paused to look at one of the weapon cases. "Interesting armaments."

"You have to appreciate the antiques," he replied, vaguely, considering the relatively moderately-sized spear in front of him. Hm.

"My people still use the same armaments of previous generations," Worf replied. "Using a phaser or an explosive is generally considered less... honorable."

"Given enough time, pain and real violence, and not enough options..." Cable's gaze flicked away from the casing to find Worf, "You'll find yourself using just about anything."

"It is in battle when one's true character is revealed," Worf replied. "Especially if the cause is just."

"Generally," he said, simply, "Just causes are more valuable if they're achieved with as little violence as possible." Not that was always necessarily little little. "Not as many bullet holes..."

"For someone who runs an armament supply store," Worf noted, "You have an... interesting opinion on battle."

"Battle is an option," he noted, "But it's not the only one by far, and it's rarely the one that gets the long-term results. Chalk that one up to experience."

"And what do you find to be effective?" Worf asked tilting his head and looking somewhat confused.

"Planning ten steps ahead," Cable said, returning his attention to the case. "And knowing a few things about the future..."

It had seemed effective at the time, anyway.

"No one can know the future," Worf said gravely. "However strategy is always an important factor."

"You'd be surprised what's possible."

"I am aware of time travel," Worf said gravely. "However meddling with a timeframe has its consequences."

"Hence the part about planning ahead," Cable replied, with a touch of a smirk. "Knowing something and knowing how to use it are two different things, but they're not mutually exclusive."

"And you never had any unforeseen consequences?"

"There are consequences to every action you take," he replied, "The trick lies in knowing enough to deal with it."

"So you make allowances for surprises?"

"To a point."

"What if what you do causes harmful consequences for the future?"

That wasn't a loaded question in any sense of the phrase.

He shot Worf another look. "Sometimes," Cable said, "The future's already as bad as it gets. You can only do what you can, and hope for the best."

Mod your meditation, or ask Cable for help.

Yep. There be Worf. Doing that meditation thing.

Which is only accessible with Cable's permission.

*flops* Working on some uni stuff, so I might be in and out a lil'.
