Vornak: Indeed, but I think we all know the flaws in having a habitat specifically built to house sapient life.
Matt: Recycled, filtered air, for one. Planetary life has an element that station life doesn't - chaotic nature; air and water pollutants, changing weather patterns, seismic activity - these are things which have helped strengthen all forms of corporeal life.
Terry: Flaws yes.. but things to work out, as it not meant to be a permanent solution. But they are liveable..
Terry: Flaws yes.. but things to work out, as it not meant to be a permanent solution. But they are liveable..
Matt: What about the materials to build them? It's easier to build small settlements on planets than it is to build a space station on this scale - even using a centrifugal method of gravity simulation.
Vornak: But it is a possibility. These will be to us what they were to your Great Britain after your Second World War. 'Prefabricated Houses' I believe you called them?
OOC: Considering they're coaching Tara, I don't think Clara would be listening, since that would be kinda unfair of her.
OOC: Yes, well, let's jist say Xi picked up his voice with that question. And he was trained that you always gain a lesson from the enemy, and when it comes from practice, it'sbest to ask their opinion, and give them yours, so that you both learn. That question was more habit than genuine interest.

*OOC: Nothing on the cube...*
Terry: Exactly it.. Because the worlds already harvested do not have anything in the way of nourishment... The method of restoration and I mean full restoration will take thousands of years at the minimum.. even with our interference. Unless we have a working genesis device I don't see how small settlements will ever work.
The Borders are secure but only barely. They won't stay that way forever.. I see them breaking soon especially when this conflict gets worse.

Matt: And, by extension, ending the civil war in the Republic.
*Tara A tenses up as the chime rings again to signal round two. Tara decides that since it's a freestyle match, she'd better start using some freestyle moves - start actually laying on the beatdown.
She and Clara quickly smirk at each other as they crouch a little, before rushing each other. Tara A quickly flips over Clara's back, elbowing her in the spine upon landing and delivering consistent punches as Clara tries to recover, finally catching a punch and sending her fist slamming into Tara A's jaw with a loud grunt of rage before slamming another fist into her cheek.*
Tara A *thinking*: Block...
*Tara A blocks the next punch.*
Counter...
*She then blocks a follow-up with her shoulder, using the arm to slam her forearm into Clara's face.*
Break!
*She then pushes out of the hold, letting out a grunt as she shoves Clara back so hard that Clara has to catch herself on the ropes, before they both start circling again and get their guards up, both with cut lips.*
OOC: Feel free to have either of your characters give advise or support during these little breaks. *
Vornak: I believe I was given one of those three months ago. It's aboard the D'tan right now. I'll have it brought over.
Terry: *Terry looks back at the last conversation he had with his father.. an argument..* If I understand this thing's existence they are meant for certain people..

Yours is probably for you alone...
*Vornak nods in agreement.*
Vornak: Then... perhaps that box is meant for you... alone.
Vornak: Then... perhaps that box is meant for you... alone.
Wax: Not likely.. James made this one for the people still here... like the seal for myself and for Ramez and Sam.. The others are for Matt... and then you and Lexi have one...

Tara A: We'll have to find out when we get time, won't we?
*She and Clara start sending punches into each other, blocking each other as it quickly becomes a grappling match, with both of them grunting in anger as they push against each other hard, pushing each other's forehead against the other before Clara lets out a roar and pushes Tara A up against the ropes, getting an arm behind Tara's neck and one in front of it, trying to choke her out.
Tara A grabs hold of Clara's arms, using them as support as she lifts her legs up and kicks Clara in the face, landing in a crouch as Clara is pushed to the other side of the ring, dropping to a crouch as they circle each other again, panting lightly before lunging at each other, with Tara A getting the first punch in, knocking Clara to the side.
Clara quickly gets into a roll as Tara spins around, before punching Tara down, as she also rolls out of the way, quickly hooking an arm under Clara's knee and pulling her into a top mount, with Clara quickly locking into a body scissors, before Tara A grabs her legs and pushes them forwards into Clara's chest, as Clara strains, but before it can go any further, the chime sounds to end the round, as they both retreat to their corners, sitting down.*
Comments
Tara A: The fact that me and her are even in a wrestling match? I can try, but she'll probably counter it before I get far...

*He shakes his head.*
Xi: Can you offer a counter? I want to know how you'd get out if the positions were reversed.
Tara A: I'd slam her against the corner and slip out of the headlock before she had a chance to do the leg sweep.

Xi: Okay, now back to the original problem. How do you counter a tackle, other than a sweep?
*He chuckles.*
Xi: This is a genuine question. I don't wrestle, so...
Tara A: Hey, I'm a novice at this. When I get tackled, I usually just try to force my opponent down myself.

Clara: This is an actual match, you know, not a sparring session. I'm not going to give her advice...
Except that she should quit while she still can.
*She smirks at Tara A, who just gets to her feet.*
Tara A: Oh, you are so on!
*She turns back to Sasha.*
Any last minute advice?
