Stark’s grin became even more vicious.

Izzy had noticed the holodeck doors opening for the Captain and watched behind her as Stark did his routine with a new and interesting weapon. She grinned at Koraia’s words. “What’s the joy in being who we are if we cant stain a few carpets.” She walked in behind the Captain and winked at Stark. “I like that weapon. ITs like a mix of two ancient weapons. Can I see it?”

Koraia didn’t reply, though she almost quipped that she had had enough stained carpets and could do without the worry for awhile. But she bit her tongue, her pale amber eyes gazing elsewhere and taking in Stark’s chosen setting.

She was glad she was wearing casual clothing. She just hated being on the holodeck in uniform. This was a nice surprise for her free afternoon. Perhaps Stark wouldn’t mind company during his holodeck time.

Delaney, Sec

Stark handed the weapon over so Izzy could get the feel of it and smiled at Koraia. “Useless in small spaces, but outdoors in places like this,” he pointed to the forest, “it gives you options and more importantly, reach. You’ve got to make one that suits your size and style and if I’m honest I often nearly decapitated myself with it while becoming proficient. However, if you persevere, this design has some surprises for anyone who is dumb enough to come in reach.”

“I can imagine,” the captain said, highly amused as she gazed at her chosen brother.

Stark wasn’t normally this verbose but he was warming to his subject.

“I had a friend add a power pack to the small mace at the end so the whole thing can act as an electromagnet for further options in city and ship situations where there is lots of metal”.

He suddenly realized he was gushing a bit and stopped, finishing off with a small smile and a final comment.

“I like weapons”.

“Never would have guessed, Ndugu,” Ghubari said, smiling. No matter the circumstance, and no matter what trials they faced, she knew she could always trust and count on Stark. She hadn’t exactly sought him out in this moment, but his presence had pulled her towards him as she had taken a walk about the ship. It was easy for her to get ensconced up on the bridge or in her ready room and right now she could feel the strange energy across the ship from their last traipse into places they weren’t normally supposed to go.

He chuckled and then took the weapon back from Izzy. “Well, Dada, Izzy. After the last mission, I feel the need to do something normal. In about 3 minutes there are going to be a few foes coming at us through the trees. I’d kill them all myself but that’d be a bit selfish, care to lend a hand?”

OOC: Would it be okay if I join this thread with my security officer, Juvri? I just got back from an unexpectedly lengthy loa and I’m looking for some posting to do, aha…

Ghubari shrugged. “Why the hell not?” she said casually. “Just another day on the Athena, right? ” she said with a gleam in her pale eyes.

“Is this a ‘choose your own weapon’ affair, or are they supplied?” Koraia asked.

Stark winked, “Glad you asked. The program is very interactive. I had a good friend back at Starfleet Command help me set it up. You can import weapons from other scenarios, program new ones, bring your own physical weapons or you can use any of the ones I brought”. He pointed to a very large looking canvas bag. “I have mainly short range close quarters weaponry with me in the bag today but I do have a modified Lirpa and a specially designed pole arm with a few surprises.” He grinned depreciatingly, “I’m expanding my repertoire”.

“Pole arm for me,” Ghubari said, holding her hand out. Surprises would never be something she enjoyed but at this in this context and knowing they came from Stark it would be nothing short of interesting. Besides everything felt too up close and personal lately and a bit of distance felt appropriate.

“Excellent choice”, Stark smiled and reached sinuously down into a long bag at his feet drawing forth a silver look Bardiche with two button on the mid handle. “The top button turns on a mini force field around the curved blade at the end enabling you to use it as a bludgeon as well as a cutting weapon. The second button releases or retracts a spike out of the end of the pole so you can ram it into the ground anchoring the pole thus enabling you to use the pole as leverage to spin your body around.” Stark winked, “Of course the spike on the end can have a multitude of other rather nasty uses as well”.

“Of that I have no doubt,” Ghubari said idly.

“Oh yes please!” She said contemplating which weapon she wished to use. She knew how to use several different kinds of weapons above and beyond those issued by Star Fleet. Did she feel like using a bo staff more distance combat? Or perhaps a Japanese Katana for deadly precision? Or did she want to get deep into the thick of hand to hand with daggers? Seeing as how Ghubari was using a Pole Staff and Stark would probably use his new weapon, she decided to go for a Japanese Katana and had the Holodeck provide one for her.

“This will be a treat. I haven’t used one of these for a few years.” Izzy said as she started moving the sword around to get used to its weight and balance.

“Looks like you know your way around it Isabel”

Stark looked at them with eager anticipation, “Ready to begin when you are. Just say the word”

Stepping to the side and swing the bardiche carefully, Ghubari allowed herself a moment to get acquainted with the weapon before she nodded. “I think I’m ready.”

The doors sprung open as a second Security officer made her way to the deck. Juvri hadn’t meant to be so late. But she had mistaken the time the training would be held at, and as soon as she realized, she’d dropped everything and rushed straight there. As soon as she stepped into the door, she paused. “Uh, I’m sorry I’m late… I hope it’s okay if I join you guys?” she asked, feeling like every eye was on her… even if they weren’t.

Izzy grinned and winked at the Captain. “What kind of security officer would I be if I didn’t know my way around a weapon? I think it is ingrained in our DNA to love weapons of all sorts. We have our favorites and our least favorites, but in general, if it can inflict pain or death on a physical body by either my physical body or by extension of my physical body… I want to know how to use it.”

“I’m ready Stark.”

Delaney, Sec
