Sparing and a lecture...

Episode: Lost Property
Location: Holodeck

So far Melony had been down to the holodeck abusing the programming for practicing her Karate and had decided today to branch out a bit more mixing in Thai boxing and judo in to the mix this time, hopefully making it more difficult to defend. It might also give her a bit more of a challange the previous program had become a bit repetitive after a while, this one was designed to learn a bit more so might fill in for her missing sparing partner.

She hadn't realised how out of practice she had been with clinch and grappling aspects of it and was thoroughly enjoying the challenge and was amazed the program was responding so well to tap outs and was defending aspects where she had previously gained an advantage, making her learning curve slightly harder but gave her that bit more motivation to push back that bit more.

"I think this will have to be the last one for today" Melony managed to say, between breaths she was starting to feel the ache setting in and knew that she was probably pushing it a bit too far but for the first time in months she had a real challenge in front of her and was reluctant to leave with the program winning.


Things ended up on the ground and, in a scramble, she pushed off her elbow with too much of her body weight, leaning on it and her shoulder could not support the force and it popped. She heard it before she felt it and at that moment thought the worst of it, and tapped out, more frustrated than anything at losing to the program.

"For fucks sake, computer end program"

As well as that she relished that she'd probably be told to leave sparing for a few weeks by their Doctor. She sighed; great she'd probably get a lecture to go with it.
