Stardate 2365.02.09 (Tuesday - 42137.6)
USS Peregrine; Deck 5, Gym - 1805
John steadied himself from the well placed counter from of his red haired opponent. The man gave him a sly smile as he answered, "I've a good teacher", then lashed out with a quick spin and a shoulder strike.
John responded with a swinging defense that deflected the income staff. Using the momentum he twisted the defense to an attack landing a stinging thump to the thigh. The sting must have inspired the man as they now engaged in a vigorous sparring match. The two glided in a agilely series of attacks and faints. John winced as a blow glanced off his own thigh.
With another burst of energy he pressed the attack. Sweat now coating his arms and forehead he drove forward.
Breathing controlled and pulse running rapid John force the man to backpedal. Driving in he stepped into a shoulder blow as the bearded Scot let his staff extend out with a two handed reach.
But the attempt to try move backward and forward at the same time threw him off his center of balance. Falling to the mat, butt first, his advisory sat on the ground breaking into a deep rolling laugh.
John walked over to the man and sat beside him. "That was fun, I thank you for the work out,. I guess I should introduce myself",. Extending his hand in a traditional hand shake, "I'm Lt. John Reed, Assistant Chief Tactical Officer,,yeah,I'm with security."

Stardate 2365.02.09 (Tuesday - 42137.6)
USS Peregrine; Deck 5, Gym - 1805
They approached the box and took a glance at the interior, they could even smell the stain that was used coming out of the box, it was subtle but there. It brought a smile to the man's lips, he nodded and plucked one of the staff from the box and felt its weight. "Not exactly my area of expertise, but I think I can manage to put up a decent fight." he said, and began putting on the safety gear. "Where did you learn this art?" he asked moving toward the other side of the mat, taking a few swings with the staff. He turned and set himself, allowing the staff to hang across his body in one hand while he did the strap to the head guard.
"When I was eighteen I attended a Scouting World Jamboree in Gilwell England,. I meet some local Scouts that told me about their "Master At Arms" merit badge,. One of the skills was to learn to use the Quarter Staff. ,..They gave me a copy of a vintage pamphlet that showed the six offensive strikes and the six defense parries,, They are all swing moves but they can be made into thrust moves. So for the next couple of weeks they showed me the left leg strike, right leg strike, left flank, right flank, left cheek and right cheek and how they used to tool,I took my share of bruises but it was so fluid and so fun. ,..With that I'll only use swing moves."
Haemis took the staff in both hands, and gave him a salute and held the staff at the ready. He was not prepared for the agility of John, his first strike coming swiftly, it was all Haemis could do to get his stick up to stop his opponent from smashing him across the head or shoulder.
Shifting his feet he nearly took another blow that came from the side, then found himself on his back looking up at John. He had been swept from his feet in a fluid motion on what Haemis could only have guessed was a pivot and back swing low at his feet.
Slowly he got to his feet, and took a deep breath and set himself again. This was a lot more swift than a sword that was certain. But his eyes were starting to play catch up, blocking a bit more easy but still not exact. He circled the man and smiled. "Your very good!" he said.
John could tell that the man before him was taking it all in. Forgetting a basic of his training John tried faint left and his opponent took the advantage and place resounding smack to his right thigh. John's leg buckled slightly. ,. Spinning to avoid the next blow he had to throw up a parry as he man had reversed his staff to a two handed down ward strike,.. Rolling his staff john drove the attacking staff tip to floor. Putting up his guard John stepped back quickly. "Well you're learning quickly."

Stardate 2365.02.09
USS Peregrine; Lt. Reid's Quarters - 1700
The cabin light draw up from night time dark to morning glow as the wake setting transformed Lt. Reid's quarters. Since before the Peregrine had docked at star base 118 John had been awake. The events that unfolded had kept him up forty eight hours, longer than he had planned. Coming off Gamma bridge duty he had caught a brief snack with Nurse Miraan, but fatigue forced him to cut their time short. Now after a glorious sleep he was ready to start again.
Catching a quick shower John fetched a coffee and sticky bun from the replicator and sat at his com station to catch up on events. After a few minutes he let out low whistle. John knew that the Captain's Mast was required and the sentence was just, but it stuck in his craw that P.O. Crane was in the brigg and Ensign Agris was assigned to the Coronado.
Deciding he needed to loosen up and perhaps vent a little anger he grabbed his workout bag and headed to the gym.
Stardate 2365.02.09 (Tuesday - 42137.6)
USS Peregrine; Deck 5, Gym - 1800
John stepped into gym to in time to see new crew member step away from the heavy bag ,. He picked up a large weighted chunk of metal, much like a sword with a hilt, but a round barrel instead of a blade. It was weighted for training as if it were a sword but more for the weight. He began dancing around the mat as though running through exercises he had done so many times before. He swung the chunk of metal and it rebounded bouncing off the punching bag stopping him. He stood staring at the bag, for a good long time the chunk of metal held much as if he was squaring off with an opponent, close to his body, upright ready for what was to come.
With a bit of admiration and a slight chuckle John said, "I think you killed it!"
In a warm brogue, "Not entirely." he said taking a step back and a deep breath. His cheeks were a bit rosy. "But tha will teach it!" he said pointing his practice weapon at the bag. "Shouldn't sneak up on unsuspecting individuals swing'n large weapon's." he said shaking the sword at it. He moved back towards the middle of the mat hazarding a glance at who it is that was addressing him.
Setting his bag down John advanced to the mat extending his hand. "I'm John,ya care to try to hitting something that hits back?........ I need to work off a bit a steam,,,care to indulge a bit in the "Manly Art" of quarter staffs?
(Allowing Haemis to respond.)
"We have a nice selection of equipment in the storage next to the boxing gear. " Walking the case John open the door revealing several eight foot staffs and required head and body gear. "Star Fleet requires curtain precautions, but it's pretty much the same as it was back in 1880's England. Head gear and padding."
Showing the man a variety of staffs, "As it is my challenge, I'll let you have first choice of weapon." Stand in brilliant array were gleaming hardwood and bamboo staffs from various planets.

Seems that about once a year I get a bit depressed and start to wallow in self pity. It's easier to just push away than to buckle down.
So if we can find a character that suits Duncan74 then I will see if I can get our randy dandy back it play.
Luckily he has been sleeping so after two months he should be well rested.
Thank you for your support.
Hi Ho Peregrine ...Away.....

Subject: Now Playing the Part Of John.........
I had really fallen behind in playing John and it wasn't flowing as well as it should so with T_Catt's blessing (sent him PM to ask his approval) the part of Assistant Chief Tactical Officer John Britt Reid will be played by Duncan74.
He is much better at freeform than I have been and he wants back. So "Loverboy John" will once again be on the prowl.

Lum watched as a piece of trash sailed to land upon the pile of fallen equipment. It nudged another piece of trash and quickly a cascade of the pieces slide down the opposite side of the pile.
"BAMP! BAMP! BAMP! BAMP!"
The blare of a klaxon comes from above and the sound of hydraulics moving above fills the air. The alarm sounds for only a few seconds and a speaker makes a hissing noise and goes quiet. There is the hiss of a machine releasing and two robots hit the floor about 10 feet behind the party. Lum turns to see two small silver creatures, resembling cats but armed with blasters and sharp blades talons. Then there is more hissing from above but further down the corridor suggesting that more have been dropped and are coming your way.
He drew his heavy blaster as the security bots do not waste time and move to attack.
Lum felt the tingle of Máiréad's spell as she stepped behind him. Once again Lum stood as Guardian of his little party and leveled his Heavy blaster on the Cat to his right.
Squeezing off a surge of energy he hoped it would destroy the creature or at least stop its attack.
(O.O.C.,Got a little more specific on which Cat he was attacking.)
