Near by is a taller redhead whom Jinn bares a striking resemblance to and for good reason, the holographic woman is an approved copy of her mother Mave Moander Cloudborn an enforcer of the primary judicial branch of the Heran Parliament. Mother and daughter wear skin tight clothing designed to limit the chances of using them as leverage; sleeveless top and micro shorts as bottoms they have their feet and hands taped to cover any other part of their bodies. When they face it is easy to see mother is 3 inches taller and perhaps 25 pounds heavier Jinn appearing to be only a smaller version of her mom so it is little surprise when the two exchange a series of blows and faints they are suddenly throw apart Jinn's mother quick stepping backwards as her daughter's just manages a tuck and roll to absorb the power of her mom's counter kick. "You know I can destroy you if you sustain close engagement ranges; use what you know about my weaknesses and hit and run" says the elder Cloudborn Jinn knows better than to point out that in one on one against her mom she is basically learning more lessons in soaking heavy blows rather than how to attack a foe who's reflexes render her own slow and clumsy advances moot The only action in her entire performance which pleases her mother is her recovery from a crack the whip style throw is a series of cartwheels till she absorbed enough energy to stop. [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] Captain Juvum walked in, hands behind his back. He paused for a few moments and observed Jinn's battle with.... Herself? It certainly looked like her. He stood near the entrance, waiting for the Tactical officer to notice him. [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] Mave is the first to notice the captain then Jinn who actually blushes slightly [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] "No, don't let me interrupt." [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] Jinn nods then turns her attention back to her mother who is on the move as soon as her daughter's feet are set leaving only microseconds to react. It is a knee punch that can shatter cider blocks which Jinn barely manages to cap with a palm and stiff arm block meaning she soaks the power with her weight as she is launched up and backwards Her mom true to form is already in a spinning hip rotation trying to land a hammer blow on the falling younger women her object the utter defeat of her Jinn just manages a shoulder roll saving her the kick to the ribs as goes into a back handspring [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] The captain was a little lost in the flurry of blows back and forth, but watches intently. [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] Any other foe and this battle would be exciting but Mave Cloudborn makes her daughter seem unable to do anything except resist destruction always pushing her back till finally Jinn either from exhaustion or losing her balance falls on her rear the larger woman kneeling on the center of her back as she twists her left arm in a painful bar hold. The Holo fades leaving Jinn exhausted and spent but happy: How can I help you Captain? : she asks exhaling a deep breath [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] "I was going to run an exercise program for myself. Would you mind if i asked who it was you were fighting? Yourself? Sister?" Juvum said with genuine curiosity. [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] "That was my Mom, she's been my teacher in the physical arts since I was... well able to stand; she an Enforcer for Justice back home" [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] The captain nodded. "Your technique back there... i was hardly able to keep track of either of you! Do you think you could help me train some time?" Juvum requested. "Oh, and that's not an order." [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] "I am a rated close combat specialist and instructor so its no trouble just don't ask me to teach you in my people's methods; they aren't considered appropriate" [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] "Then perhaps tomorrow at 07:00 hours?" He suggested. [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] "I can work that into my schedule" [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] "Thank you, it's greatly appreciated." Juvum said with a smile. He then walked further into the Holodeck and loaded his program- a series of agility and strength drills. [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] "It is my duty to see my Captain is able to defend himself" [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] "You may be a little disappointed then. This is just a series of fitness exercises, nothing about combat here." The computer then began the regiment- "50 pushups. Begin." The captain immediately fell to the floor and starting going up and down by bending and straightening his arms. Once that was complete the computer gave him his next task- a set of hurdles appeared, and instructed him to jump them. Juvum threw in a little flair by doing frontflips across the second half of them. [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] Jinn watched her Captain her eyes seeking his faults even in so mundane a from of exercise [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] The next assignment was a pole jump, and to catch an acrobatics pole on the way down. He took up the long pole and took a running start, planting it firmly in the ground, forcing his way up and over the top of the wall. As he fell, his arms reached out and grabbed the second pole. He carried his momentum into a backflip and landed on two feet, staggering a little. The computer then conjured some weights for the captain to lift. "30 reps." It instructed. After pulling the 20 kilogram weights in each arm 30 times, he set them down. He then turned to Jinn, who had been watching him this whole time. "What do you think?" he said. Juvum had programmed a two minute break into the program. [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] "You need work, it seems as if whoever trained you was unconcerned with how you did it as opposed to how many times" [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] "A little bit harsh, considering i trained myself." Juvum replied, playfully. "After all, practice makes perfect." [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] "In your case it seems as if you haven't had much practice" : she said as she smiled in a friendly manner [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] Juvum gave a small laugh as the break was over. The computer created a randomized Parkour course to traverse, with several possible paths. The captain climbed up and began gracefully jumping from location to location. He stumbled every now and then, but made an excellent try. Once he'd completed the course, the computer summoned a set of stairs for the captain to descend on. He stood in front of his tactical officer. "And what would be your final assessment of the competence of this crew member?" [hr] [color=D5C214][b]Jinn[/b][/color] "You like most people are in adequate shape but lack focus and grace; I am sure you didn't map and plan your path before you attempted it" : she said in an almost monotone [hr] [color=A90F24][b]Juvum[/b][/color] The captain nodded. "Alright. I look forward to tomorrow then." Juvum then walked out of the holodeck, waving to Jinn
