Frigg: (I think her name was Frigg, it was either that or Freya) *Has also decided to take a peek at the match, wanting to see how Karen and Daya's fighting styles are improving*
*After a moment, Karen and Daya meet in the ring, facing off. Karen's wearing her MMA tank top cropped at the midriff, as well as a training mask/skirt, gloves, and ankle wraps. Daya's kit is a little different, as their fighting styles have started to diverge. Instead of a training mask, Daya is wearing form-fitting trunks, and she's skipped the ankle wraps.
The two push against each other, smirking, eager to start. After a moment, Karen shoves Daya back and gets into her stance. Daya does the same, her stance differing slightly from Karens: her knees are bent a little more, so her centre of gravity is a bit lower; she's also not balling her left hand into a fist, leaving it open in a leading position with her right hand coiled next to her cheek. Karen's stance is aimed more at straight-up brawling, whereas Daya's is adapted a little more towards grappling - three guesses as to where that came from.
As the bell rings, the two immediately lunge at each other, Daya deflecting a punch from Karen and throwing a jab. Karen blocks it and steps into Daya's guard, pulling her into a knee to the gut before Daya retaliates in kind, following up with an elbow strike and a leg sweep, immediately jumping on Karen while she's down and trying to get ground control.*
*Frigg seems to have a small sense of pride at how they've been progressing, she's not been the only one helping with their training, but sometimes seeing them like this makes her think of what mightve been as she rests a hand on her stomach absentmindedly*
Serah: you two sure are off to a fast paced start. Please try to avoid getting too rough. *she watches closely, subtly cheering Karen on*

*Karen throws Daya off and quickly knocks her into the mat with a sweeping kick, before scrambling to her feet. Daya gets to her feet too, Karen charging her before she can get her guard up, kneeing her in the abdomen and slamming her into the ropes, beating on her a little until Daya kicks her off and fires a foot into Karen's face, sending Karen back to the mat.*
Daya *panting lightly*: That all you got, targ?
Karen: Not even close!
*Karen spears into her and the two get into a rolling struggle on the ground, grunting fiercely as they fight it out.*
*After a few moments, Karen gets on top but is trapped in a close guard by Daya, who manages to get a foot against Karen's hip and unsteady her to roll on top herself, throwing a few punches at Karen. Most are blocked as Karen quickly guards and bucks Daya to the side, picking her up and trying to throw her over her shoulder.
Daya manages to land on her feet and jumps back into Karen, knocking her back a couple of meters before trying the nail her with a high kick, Karen sidestepping it and throwing a back spin kick into Daya's gut. The two circle each other, smirking a little with confidence as both think they've got the other on the defensive. Then, the bell to end the first round rings, both girls retreating to their respective corners, Daya looking around to see if Susan's watching.*

*Daya is clearly a little more excited from Susan's "incentive". As the bell rings to start the next round, Karen and Daya roar and rush each other straight from the turnbuckles, locking up and grappling fiercely. After a moment, Daya gets the advantage, quickly whipping Karen to one side and pushing her into the ropes, throwing a couple of knees into her abdomen.
Karen quickly rallies, wrapping her arms tightly around Daya's neck to lock her in close while she puts her in a body scissors, Daya grunting in pain from the sudden pressure on her sides.
After a moment, Karen grabs the ropes to hold herself up and kicks Daya back, quickly ducking under a wild hook from Daya and lunging forward, grabbing Daya's head and pulling her into a leaping knee strike. Daya is barely fast enough to block with her guard as the two separate from the impact, panting from the brief full-throttle exchange and circling.*
Daya *panting*: Not bad, Sis...
Karen *panting, teasing*: Well, duh... I'm better than you.

*The two clash again, going a little easier this time before Karen catches a punch from Daya and quickly locks her arm behind her back, following up by slamming Daya into the turnbuckle.
After struggling for a few moments, Daya lifts her right knee up and kicks off the turnbuckle, taking Karen back down to the mats. She then twists out of the arm lock and gets into top mount, throwing a couple of fists into Karen's guard before taking a very brief moment to catch her breath. Karen immediately takes advantage, rolling them over and giving Daya a few punches of her own.
Daya quickly recovers, turning her previous mount into a body scissors and trying to roll Karen onto her side, Karen grunting painfully. Karen throws an elbow into Daya's guard to disorient her and quickly breaks out of the body scissors, backing off.*
*The fight continues for two more rounds. As the two are getting ready for the fifth and final round, they're clearly starting to feel the effects. Both have several small nicks and cuts, a few bruises (which Kenar insisted get a quick treatment with a regenerator before letting the match continue), and they're both glistening with sweat, panting. But they're also clearly enjoying themselves, still smirking tauntingly at each other as they lean against their corners, breathing deeply. What started out as a "friendly" sibling fight has turned into an endurance match, both wanting to see just how long they can keep this up.*
Ooc: hey all sorry I haven’t been on or posting I just have kinda hit a wall on what to do and haven’t felt much motivation to be on or post anything. Hopefully that will change shortly.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Frigg: *more to herself* I'm not really surprised it's turned out like this. They remind me a lot of myself when I was younger. *she crosses her arms as she watches, fairly engaged in the outcome*
Serah: Well atleast I was prepared for the medical treatment this time.
*Susan watches, cheering on Daya occassionally, wondering who might actually win now that they're pushing this further*
Ooc: Its alright Logan. I've been having a hard time remembering some stuff I had planned out originally myself.

OOC: Yeah, I'm thinking about how to get back into things with the civil war.
*The bell rings, and Karen and Daya steadily close in on each other, circling slightly as they get into their stances. After a moment, Karen fires off a quick combo of jabs, Daya blocking before Karen kicks her in the shin and goes for a low kick to Daya's head.
Daya blocks the head kick and grabs Karen's leg, quickly rolling into a takedown and putting Karen into an ankle lock, Karen grunting painfully as she tries to break out.*
*After a moment, Karen escapes the hold and scrambles to her feet, Daya quickly following. The two instantly lock up, wrestling it out. Daya manages to get Karen up against her corner, where Serah can clearly see how physical the grapple is. Karen is bucking as much as she can to try and force Daya back, eventually succeeding and quickly whipping them around and slamming Daya into the corner.
They're both breathing deeply as they grapple, occasionally growling or grunting but mostly just focused on the fight. This carries on for another minute before Daya is able to buck Karen off and force her back, the two trading punches in the clinch. Then, Daya goes for a jab to Karen's gut, just as Karen pulls back to try a knee strike. As a result, Daya's jab sails through the new void where Karen's abdomen was, crashing into her diaphragm instead of where Daya had been trying to target. Karen almost instantly collapses, already exhausted, Daya quickly reacting and steadying herself to lower Karen down gently.
Karen breathes shallowly for a moment before forcing her eyes open as Serah comes over. She groans achingly as Kenar checks her over, injecting her with something to help her recover. Daya smiles weakly as it becomes clear Karen's going to be okay.*
Daya *exhausted, teasing*: You're gonna look really stupid as a blonde.
Karen *exhausted, embarrassed*: I hate you...
Daya *exhausted, teasing*: I know...
*Daya slowly picks herself up once Kenar treats her and looks for Susan.*

Halsey takes a long drink of her coffee before setting it down and looking at her screen again. It was 3 am station time and she had yet to get any sleep. Instead she decided to simply keep working on recent research she was conducting. She leans back in her chair a moment letting out a sigh.
Halsey: computer run a multi spectral scan of the fragment again see if we missed something. Also get me some music in here. Something relaxing.
She stands up as a quite medley begins to play. Her genetic research had hit a wall. She had made improvements to the Augmentations they used for their Spartans but now it seemed she had a wall. And then fleet comm had demanded she look into some odd organic samples found in an ancient site and wanted her newest AI update. She was about ready to tell them all to go to hell and take a break for herself. But that wouldn’t end the problem nor her own curiosity.
She walked over to a different terminal and decided to try and work on the AI next. The strands of DNA like code displaying on the holo table as she watched it. Within 30 min of starting she ends up asleep at the desk.

Jotan Malick sits in his office looking over business reports. Misriah Armories had two more contracts to be filled before they where up to be renewed. While the bill of their business was military grade they did civilian work as well.
Jotan: when is the new Charon class frigate suppose to end its test phase.
OA his ai appears on his desk.
OA: the Charon class is scheduled to enter full production in two weeks when the Charon itself returns from its shake down. The unsc has already requested 200 to help replace its aging Wenther class frigates.
Jotan: good good. What about the Stalwart?
OA: she is in finale review and should be sent for your finale approval tomorrow. For that class the unsc has requested 350 once it enters production.
Jotan: good that should keep things moving along. What about the new freighter?
OA: the Pillan class freighter has started full production and we have request for 45 already in the system. Some from private people others from the unsc and the confederation civilian merchant authority.
Jotan: good very good.

OOC: Weird... I always use Chrome and haven't had any issues. Have you tried clearing your cookies, etc? Sometimes I get a redirect error and that fixes it.
*Daya returns the hug and kisses her lightly.*
Daya *tired, excited*: Don't think I'm too tired for whatever you had planned, hotstuff. *She winks playfully.
After a moment, Karen sits up. She's recovering alright, but still a bit groggy from getting knocked out.*
Karen *groggy*: Thanks. *Smiles.* I think I'll need some 'consolation' when we get back to our quarters, but... Yeah, I'm okay...
OoC: The redirect issue is the thing I've been having trouble with. Clearing cookies didn't fix it. Still keeps asking me to do a captcha.
Serah: Trust me, you'll get plenty. *she gives her a gentle kiss* I was worried there towards the end.
Susan: *she smiles, giving her a flirty look* Well if you think you can keep up... I did promise, so we should hurry on back. I've got something special in mind for you.
Karen: Worried?
*Daya heads back to their Quarters with Susan.*
Serah: Well you collapsed after all, I was worried you were hurt pretty bad. *She hugs her* Its not often any of us do a fight until knockout.
Serah: Well, I was thinking of a date on the holodeck. But if you're too tired... *she pouts playfully* Or we can try and do some proper training or something if you feel more like trying to improve.

Comments
Serah: *She there's to watch the match, curious to who's going to win this time*
Frigg: (I think her name was Frigg, it was either that or Freya) *Has also decided to take a peek at the match, wanting to see how Karen and Daya's fighting styles are improving*
*After a moment, Karen and Daya meet in the ring, facing off. Karen's wearing her MMA tank top cropped at the midriff, as well as a training mask/skirt, gloves, and ankle wraps. Daya's kit is a little different, as their fighting styles have started to diverge. Instead of a training mask, Daya is wearing form-fitting trunks, and she's skipped the ankle wraps.
The two push against each other, smirking, eager to start. After a moment, Karen shoves Daya back and gets into her stance. Daya does the same, her stance differing slightly from Karens: her knees are bent a little more, so her centre of gravity is a bit lower; she's also not balling her left hand into a fist, leaving it open in a leading position with her right hand coiled next to her cheek. Karen's stance is aimed more at straight-up brawling, whereas Daya's is adapted a little more towards grappling - three guesses as to where that came from.
As the bell rings, the two immediately lunge at each other, Daya deflecting a punch from Karen and throwing a jab. Karen blocks it and steps into Daya's guard, pulling her into a knee to the gut before Daya retaliates in kind, following up with an elbow strike and a leg sweep, immediately jumping on Karen while she's down and trying to get ground control.*

Serah: you two sure are off to a fast paced start. Please try to avoid getting too rough. *she watches closely, subtly cheering Karen on*
> *Frigg seems to have a small sense of pride at how they've been progressing, she's not been the only one helping with their training, but sometimes seeing them like this makes her think of what mightve been as she rests a hand on her stomach absentmindedly*

> Serah: you two sure are off to a fast paced start. Please try to avoid getting too rough. *she watches closely, subtly cheering Karen on*
*Karen throws Daya off and quickly knocks her into the mat with a sweeping kick, before scrambling to her feet. Daya gets to her feet too, Karen charging her before she can get her guard up, kneeing her in the abdomen and slamming her into the ropes, beating on her a little until Daya kicks her off and fires a foot into Karen's face, sending Karen back to the mat.*
Daya *panting lightly*: That all you got, targ?
Karen: Not even close!
*Karen spears into her and the two get into a rolling struggle on the ground, grunting fiercely as they fight it out.*

Daya manages to land on her feet and jumps back into Karen, knocking her back a couple of meters before trying the nail her with a high kick, Karen sidestepping it and throwing a back spin kick into Daya's gut. The two circle each other, smirking a little with confidence as both think they've got the other on the defensive. Then, the bell to end the first round rings, both girls retreating to their respective corners, Daya looking around to see if Susan's watching.*

OoC: Sorry again...
*Susan is watching on Daya's side of the ring, waiting for her when she gets close*
Susan: You didn't think I'd miss this did you?
Serah: You're doing good so far Karen, but be careful. She might surprise you.
Frigg: *She seems to be judging the both of them, not in a bad way but measuring their improvements*
OOC: No worries.
*Daya smiles and kisses her. Meanwhile, Karen nods to Serah, before looking across at Daya. The two smirk at each other again, clearly eager for the next round to start.*

Susan: *She seems excited after the kiss* I know you don't need more incentive to want to kick her a**, but how about if you win we do something "special"? *She smiles teasingly at Daya, hoping to encourage her as the next round begins*
*Frigg seems amused by their interactions, wondering just how far the two of them might take what she's viewing as a friendly match*
*Daya is clearly a little more excited from Susan's "incentive". As the bell rings to start the next round, Karen and Daya roar and rush each other straight from the turnbuckles, locking up and grappling fiercely. After a moment, Daya gets the advantage, quickly whipping Karen to one side and pushing her into the ropes, throwing a couple of knees into her abdomen.
Karen quickly rallies, wrapping her arms tightly around Daya's neck to lock her in close while she puts her in a body scissors, Daya grunting in pain from the sudden pressure on her sides.
After a moment, Karen grabs the ropes to hold herself up and kicks Daya back, quickly ducking under a wild hook from Daya and lunging forward, grabbing Daya's head and pulling her into a leaping knee strike. Daya is barely fast enough to block with her guard as the two separate from the impact, panting from the brief full-throttle exchange and circling.*
Daya *panting*: Not bad, Sis...
Karen *panting, teasing*: Well, duh... I'm better than you.
Daya *panting*: As. If.

Susan: Don't let her teasing get to you! *Susan cheers on Daya*
Serah: I hope I don't need to get a medkit... again. *She looks concerned but she has confidence in Karen, more worried about possible injuries if they get too rough*
*The two clash again, going a little easier this time before Karen catches a punch from Daya and quickly locks her arm behind her back, following up by slamming Daya into the turnbuckle.
After struggling for a few moments, Daya lifts her right knee up and kicks off the turnbuckle, taking Karen back down to the mats. She then twists out of the arm lock and gets into top mount, throwing a couple of fists into Karen's guard before taking a very brief moment to catch her breath. Karen immediately takes advantage, rolling them over and giving Daya a few punches of her own.
Daya quickly recovers, turning her previous mount into a body scissors and trying to roll Karen onto her side, Karen grunting painfully. Karen throws an elbow into Daya's guard to disorient her and quickly breaks out of the body scissors, backing off.*

Serah: Well atleast I was prepared for the medical treatment this time.
*Susan watches, cheering on Daya occassionally, wondering who might actually win now that they're pushing this further*
Ooc: Its alright Logan. I've been having a hard time remembering some stuff I had planned out originally myself.
OOC: Yeah, I'm thinking about how to get back into things with the civil war.
*The bell rings, and Karen and Daya steadily close in on each other, circling slightly as they get into their stances. After a moment, Karen fires off a quick combo of jabs, Daya blocking before Karen kicks her in the shin and goes for a low kick to Daya's head.
Daya blocks the head kick and grabs Karen's leg, quickly rolling into a takedown and putting Karen into an ankle lock, Karen grunting painfully as she tries to break out.*

They're both breathing deeply as they grapple, occasionally growling or grunting but mostly just focused on the fight. This carries on for another minute before Daya is able to buck Karen off and force her back, the two trading punches in the clinch. Then, Daya goes for a jab to Karen's gut, just as Karen pulls back to try a knee strike. As a result, Daya's jab sails through the new void where Karen's abdomen was, crashing into her diaphragm instead of where Daya had been trying to target. Karen almost instantly collapses, already exhausted, Daya quickly reacting and steadying herself to lower Karen down gently.
Karen breathes shallowly for a moment before forcing her eyes open as Serah comes over. She groans achingly as Kenar checks her over, injecting her with something to help her recover. Daya smiles weakly as it becomes clear Karen's going to be okay.*
Daya *exhausted, teasing*: You're gonna look really stupid as a blonde.
Karen *exhausted, embarrassed*: I hate you...
Daya *exhausted, teasing*: I know...
*Daya slowly picks herself up once Kenar treats her and looks for Susan.*

Halsey takes a long drink of her coffee before setting it down and looking at her screen again. It was 3 am station time and she had yet to get any sleep. Instead she decided to simply keep working on recent research she was conducting. She leans back in her chair a moment letting out a sigh.
Halsey: computer run a multi spectral scan of the fragment again see if we missed something. Also get me some music in here. Something relaxing.
She stands up as a quite medley begins to play. Her genetic research had hit a wall. She had made improvements to the Augmentations they used for their Spartans but now it seemed she had a wall. And then fleet comm had demanded she look into some odd organic samples found in an ancient site and wanted her newest AI update. She was about ready to tell them all to go to hell and take a break for herself. But that wouldn’t end the problem nor her own curiosity.
She walked over to a different terminal and decided to try and work on the AI next. The strands of DNA like code displaying on the holo table as she watched it. Within 30 min of starting she ends up asleep at the desk.
Jotan Malick sits in his office looking over business reports. Misriah Armories had two more contracts to be filled before they where up to be renewed. While the bill of their business was military grade they did civilian work as well.
Jotan: when is the new Charon class frigate suppose to end its test phase.
OA his ai appears on his desk.
OA: the Charon class is scheduled to enter full production in two weeks when the Charon itself returns from its shake down. The unsc has already requested 200 to help replace its aging Wenther class frigates.
Jotan: good good. What about the Stalwart?
OA: she is in finale review and should be sent for your finale approval tomorrow. For that class the unsc has requested 350 once it enters production.
Jotan: good that should keep things moving along. What about the new freighter?
OA: the Pillan class freighter has started full production and we have request for 45 already in the system. Some from private people others from the unsc and the confederation civilian merchant authority.
Jotan: good very good.
Karen: So, what do you want to do now?
