 Well, that was fun. Whoever said that making ensigns run fifty laps around the gym wasn't entertaining, has never witnessed it. I swear that half of them were actually enjoying it, while the other half are plotting my early demise. I guess that'll teach them not to slack off the next time I'm trying to teach them the proper form of a roundhouse

Remind me not to get on your bad side, lass.

[landon_martha]

Remind me not to get on yours. I've heard of the things that you and your little friend down in engineering get up to.

Blue, wasn't it?

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

I knew I wasn't going to live that down.

Someday I'll retire and the only thing they'll say about me will be "Remember that one time? Blue, wasn't it?"

'Least you'll be remembered for something that doesn't involve accidentally punching one of your teachers during a match...who was standing outside of the ring...

That was fun! I am a little disappointed that I was not allowed to run anymore laps. I would have gone 50 more!

[landon_martha]

You did seem to be one of the ones enjoying it. Just remind me next time and I'll add on a little extra to our workouts for you.

Can't have our prize navigator getting lazy up there on the bridge.

I agree with Mr. Scott - glad I'm not on your badside!

[landon_martha]

I promise my bark is worse then my bite...most of the time.

[helmsman_hikaru]

I agree with you about the phasers-they just seem like the easy way out sometimes & they can be so unreliable. I think we should use swords more often!

[landon_martha]

Glad we're in agreement, then. Would you mind coming down with me one of these times to show these ensigns how it's done?

[helmsman_hikaru]

Not at all! I've been meaning to get down to the gym more often for practice-sounds fun!

[landon_martha]

Just know I won't go easy on you, Sulu. Heard I'm pretty good with a sword, and all that.

[rockhammerman]

Wow. Does throwing rock hammers count in the not relying on phasers thing? I can hit a target dead center at 100 paces.

[landon_martha]

...It may. Where'd you pick up that useful little hobby?

[rockhammerman]

I taught myself. Besides, when you're a geologist and you're on a mission, you've usually got a rock or a hammer in your hand and if you get ambushed, you're not going to have time to reach for a phaser. So I improvised and got rather good at throwing both rocks and my hammers.

[landon_martha]

Simple, yet effective. I like it.
