With the rest of the afternoon off, she had briefly considered writing a letter to her parents, but had halted the effort midway through when she got stuck. As she made the computer re-read her words to her, she realized how hollow they sounded and then she quickly ordered the entire draft to be deleted. Suddenly finding the confines of her quarters unpleasant, she changed into her Star Fleet issue sports bra and sweat pants and headed to the holodeck.<strong>“Computer, start holoprogram McAdams 22-Beta. Challenge level, mid-tier.” </strong><br/><br/>As the holodeck doors slid open, the program had created a very simple environment. A granite surface composed of 64 square tiles, each one square meter large, formed an eight by eight martial arts arena. The surrounding area was comprised of sand. A pleasant temperature and a light breeze provided ideal weather conditions. The program was Libby’s own version of the Suus Mahna program that her Vulcan martial arts instructor at the academy had provided them with. She had added advanced lessons as well as opponents that were not part of the original program.<strong> “Computer, select opponents. Two Klingon warriors. Unarmed.”</strong>The auditive marker that signified that the computer had processed the request rung through the arena and soon enough two male Klingons appeared on the arena surface. They appeared at opposite corners of the granite tatami and remained in a passive stance until Libby had climbed the foot-high surface herself.<br/><br/>The Ensign got into a defensive stance and motioned the Klingon in front of her closer. This made both of them jolt to life. She was charged by the one facing her, but she evaded the blow with a simple navorkot. The crashing footsteps of the man behind her warned her of his charge and she used her arms to guide him past her, his momentum sending him crashing into the granite floor. The first Klingon had recovered from his own charge and was now throwing haymakers at her. She deflected and dodged the heavy punches and waited her turn until an opening allowed her to land a heavy blow squarely in the middle of the Klingons face. She drew blood and saw the warrior stagger backwards briefly. He hard cock to his chest made him topple over.<br/><br/>By then, the second warrior had returned and she only half-managed to ward off this new attack. Even though the safety-protocols were on to prevent serious injury, the punch which she only half parried left a painful bruise on her upper arm and she let out a short, pained yelp. She went into the counter-offensive and aimed a flurry of quick short jabs at the Klingon’s face. He managed to avoid most of them but she at least forced him onto the back foot.<br/>
