<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/32/OdedFehr.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Commander Kar'tak Timor Vanzell, First Officer (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Kar%27tak_Timor_Vanzell)<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Holodeck<br/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Star date 41056, 0630 hrs<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Lieutenant Arden Beyett, Chief of Security<br/><br/><hr/><div style="text-align: justify;">Kar'tak sidestepped the first klingon attacker with ease - then planted the heel of his palm into the face of the second, his momentum sending his foe up and away, his head whipping back harshly. As the first recovered, the third came in hard at Kar'tak, who barely blocked the blow in time with his other hand - then suddenly dropped to the ground, hands lashing out in a one-two combo to his target's inner knee, ending with a satisfying -crunch-, the second blow slamming into the klingon's groin - causing him to double-over and collapse to the ground. The first klingon, almost upon him, punched downward, but Kar'tak was ready, spinning one-eighty on his knees, capturing the klingon's fist - then using his onrushing momentum to fall to his back. Kar'tak planted his foot into the lower abdomen of his assailant and continued rolling backward, kicking his foe up and over him directly into the nearby wall with painful force. His three foes stirring slowly where they lay simply winked out of existence as Kar'tak rose to his feet to see how Arden was handling his three opponents. <br/><br/>Arden fought well, and within seconds his third opponent was dizzy and struggling to his feet. But that didn't seem to be enough for the security chief, as he decided to make things more interesting, calling out to the computer to raise the difficulty level. Instantly, Kar'taks three 'friends' had reappeared, and perhaps he imagined it but the half-klingon swore he could see looks of intended revenge etched on the faces of his foes.<br/><br/>"More interesting indeed. I believe we have just enough time before the morning briefing," he responded with a faint smile - and the fight was on once again.<br/><br/>- - -- - -- ------------------   -----------<br/><br/>It had definitely been more interesting, that was for certain, as the two men fought a much longer battle against their holodeck foes. They fought well together, utilizing techniques they had learned in Starfleet training sessions years ago, lessons that were never forgotten no matter how rarely used. Each of them sported a few bumps and bruises, and Kar'tak noticed the small cut on the side of the human's brow. Kar'tak himself felt a fair bit of pain in his left elbow, but he deemed it was nothing overly serious. If he could still move it, then it must not be that bad.<br/><br/>Of course, the bajoran part of him felt a tad guilty surprising Arden as he had. Kar'tak had handled things quite well, since he knew what was coming. Arden didn't know what was coming, so he had to adapt - and Kar'tak was quite impressed with his ability to do so. Given the same situation in reverse, Kar'tak did not know if he himself would have fared quite as well. But the half-klingon knew that Arden would likely turn the tables on him at some point down the road.<br/><br/>"I'll see you at the briefing," Kar'tak said as he headed for the exit of the holodeck, the image of the dojo fading around them to that of the familiar yellow-grid and black-walled surroundings. "If you need to stop by sick-bay, I would not blame you. Even small cuts to the head often bleed the worst," he offered. "I commend you on your performance, lieutenant. Please don't mention the details to anyone else, though - I plan to 'surprise' a few of the other officers at some point with the same program," he said, a bit of mischief in his eyes.</div>
