Ruben: Good. *smiles and starts leading her around the Promenade*
Tara: Okay, but just a basic move. It took me months to learn the basic style and I already knew how to fight.
*She shows Tara M the stance, legs apart with one in front of the other and with her arms in a guard in the same pattern, but with the back fist unclenched. The profile is about 5-6 inches lower than their regular height.*
There's also the fact that this is based off of gymnastics a lot, so if you're not experienced a lot of the more advanced moves can end up being painful.
So, here's a really basic move that should give you the upper hand in a fight.
*She takes a few steps back, before sprinting into a baseball slide between Tara M's legs, catching her hand on the mat and using it to spin around and sweep Tara M's legs out from under her before getting in a top mount.*
Slide, catch, sweep, mount. That move has saved my butt more times than I can count on one hand.

Tara: That's why I picked it. The others require a lot more practice and I don't feel comfortable teaching them to you before I know if you can even perform a cartwheel. No offence.

They enter as they can see the other working on the generator.
Onyx: well?
Solace: some kind of virus hit the system. Primus went to check the control room as we heard fighting going on up there. We believe nightfall is behind it
Fury:we need to get contact back up with the carrier ASAP.
Onyx: I haven't been able to reach then yet on my own comm.
All across the galaxy shield facilities are under attack or destroyed as the bulk of their ships are wiped out as well.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Onyx: just heard from primus there are hostile still moving through the facility.
Fury: we need to reestablish communications.
Solace:I'm working on it
The group hears fighting going on not far away.
Onyx: remain here I'll investigate.
Onyx heads back out shutting the door behind him.
Fury: how likely is it you can fix it
Solace: shouldn't take much more....oh that's not good.
Fury: what now.
Solace: bomb. Only one person could have put it here. It's fallen technology.
Fury: oh great so now what.
Solace:we need to get everyone out now.
Solace opens the door for fury to get out.
As solace starts closing the door
Fury: aren't you coming?
Solace: I must stop the bomb. Good luck director.
As he shuts the door he steps next to the bomb as he taps his comm.
Solace:Onyx I'm sorry. I can't stop it from going off. We know there's only one way to stop it
Onyx: just hold on I'll make my way back and
Solace: no its to late. It's about to go off. It's been an honor sir. I'm sorry I couldn't finish our mission.
Onyx: solace! Solace!
solace doesn't answer as he picks up the bomb and absorbs the explosion in himself which ultimately kills him. Leaving almost no trace. Onyx pummels through the door looking around falling to his knees in grief.
Fury managed to get to a terminal only to learn that these attacks have happened everywhere. And something far worse has happened as well.
Ooc:Ryan I'm going to go ahead and kick off the war. Doesn't mean the Republic has to do anything yet but want to get it rolling as I can make this last a long time lol
Unsc reporter : we have confirmed attacks along the federation border have stared as unsc fleets begin there assult of the federation. 2 outposts have already been confirmed destroyed as battles are going on all over the border.

Federation Reporter: Earlier today the UNSC made several strikes against federation outposts. Reports are already coming in that 2 sites were destroyed and fighting continues along the border. The president has this to say.
President Dakaar: *A red skinned alien (Sith species) appears on the screen* We are responding with full force to this uncalled for conflict. Although the attacks are a surprise we can not be caught with our pants down. We are already contacting our allies for assistance.

OOC: Just a minor point, to save headaches later - Allen holds the character of the Federation President - Terry.
*Across Republic Space, reports start coming over the Republic Information Network.*
Republic Reporter: We can confirm that two Federation Outposts have been destroyed by UNSC Forces and that skirmishes are ongoing. We have been informed by the Department of Foreign Affairs' Diplomatic Office that Ambassador Ri'ak, the Republic Representative to the C.I.S., has called an emergecy session of the C.I.S. Congress.
So far, there has been no word from the President herself regarding the attacks. We will keep you provided with details as they come in.
*DS61. Sam is in a Conference Room on call with Matt and Ri'ak over holocomm.*
Sam: I think I speak for just about everyone in the Quadrant when I say things have gone straight to hell.
Matt: I can have the fleet back in the Milky Way in 12 hours, Sam. Just give the word.
Ri'ak: Admiral, I know our experiences with the U.G.C. may make what I'm about to say seem slightly naive, but maybe we should try the pen before we draw the sword?
Sam: I can't call you back while we're still protecting Pegasus, Matt.
Matt: P-Sec can do a lot of good with the right equipment. I have enough ships in the regular Navy as it is. Divert the Darings and the new Omahas to P-Sec.
Sam: I want to wait until I hear from M'dan and Vornak. Vornak called me an hour ago to say his ship was on its way here for an emergency summit with me.
Matt: Fair enough, but can I at least suggest you mobilise the Marines, Assault Ops and the PDF? The Confederation Charter does say one member-state must come to the aid of the other unconditionally if aid is requested.
Sam: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, but you can bet I'm going to get the PDF and Marines in gear.

Starfleet is in shambles after the Eblisi war, with only a few thousand ships plus whatever Andromeda can supply. Most Federation worlds are being re-terraformed and populations are trapped in large O'Neill-style habitats in orbit (such as Shangri-la above Earth).
The Klingons aren't much better off, with their population absolutely decimated and little left of their fleet.
The Romulans and the UNSC are basically the only powers who emerged from the Eblisi War without being devastated.*

Tara: Go for it.
*She gets ready to throw the punch.*
Oh, if you get me in the hold, don't let go. I wanna demonstrate how you get out of that hold.
*Tara's Quarters.*

Ruben: I know they're supposed to be body guard but they still seem a little unnerving.
OoC: I just realized the way I envisioned the War mind Dreadnought is virtually identical to the Vaadwaur dreadnought.
Tara: Like this!
*She quickly twists around the arm to get out of the lock before pulling the wrist from Tara M's grasp and catching her into a headlock.*
It might be easier as a beginner if you either follow my moves telepathically or if we stick to the bare-bones basics.
*Sam + Ruben.*
Sam: Relax. Clark's got the soul of an angel if you get to know him.
Agent: Thank you, ma'am... I think.

Then you'll be able to get out of this.

Tara: That isn't the point. A lot of the moves need a lot of agility to pull off or a lot of flexibility - in most cases, both.
But, I can show you a warm-up that will at least help you with Cor'i.
*She kneels on the mat, before rolling backwards and into a handstand, then continuing backwards and onto her feet before performing a leg sweep.*

Silence is all that answers as the power seems to go out completely he draws his side arm as something begins forcing the door open.
Onyx: good your alright. It seems there are powerfailures everywhere and attacks where being reported right before power went out.
Fury: can we get to the power control room?
onyx: solace and primus are both on there way there already.
