[Bucky's in the Enclosure with the collar of his dark blue Commandos jacket turned up against the wind and his M1 slung over one shoulder. The forest the Enclosure's generated for him is dense, coniferous and foggy, with plenty of snow on the ground, and looks somewhere between beautiful and a little spooky.]
I'm Sergeant James Barnes, everyone calls me Bucky. I was with the US Army and then the Strategic Scientific Reserve during the Second World War, I'm a warden here, and I run a training camp to get people in shape in case the Admiral throws us into a situation you can't talk yourself out of. Since we got some new arrivals, I figured it might be worth mentioning again.
This week, we're gonna be focusing on surviving when you're stuck in the open with a foot of snow on the ground and more on the way. Better you figure out how to avoid frostbite and trench foot now and not when we get dumped on some shitty alien planet in our pajamas.
Any inmates who're interested need the permission of their wardens before they can train with or handle any weapons, but the basic survival stuff's open to anyone who wants to learn. Or brush up on anything you learned in Boy Scouts.
[He grins, and it's definitely more wry than it's not.]
So long as you're willing to get up early and follow instructions.

Helena's in a coma again. Same deal as last time: if you wanna come visit, I'll let you in her room, and I'll let you back out again when you're done. Anyone tries anything funny, and I can promise, you'll wish you hadn't.
[If not from Bucky, then from her. Because seriously.
But really, probably best not to take your chances with him, either.]
