Ashlyn’s grin spread wide with her growing excitement, she was more than interested and could already see a path she could exploit. Rubbing her hands together to dry them off a bit, Ahslyn turned her grin to Cassidy. “How about it boss, up for a race?”

She pointed at Trenton, a gleam in her clear blue eyes. “You’re on,” she said, moving over to a ready position at the beginning of the track. Her eyes skimmed the various obstacles and she could already tell she would go up and use her upper body strength to her advantage. While her height could get in the way sometimes, Cass was fast and flexible and she intended make that work for her now that she had gotten the hang of this exercie.

Ashlyn got on the ready line with Cass, a smirk growing on her face. From what she has seen already, Ashlyn knew the Chief of Security had her beat in terms of physical strength. Where Ashlyn had the advantage was experience and an understanding for the spirit of parkour, freedom of motion. As soon as the signal sounded, Ashlyn sprinted into the maze, but instead of taking the first turn she came across she used her momentum to run up the wall, pushing off from it to give herself a last little boost upward so she could climb on top. From this vantage point, she could avoid the maze altogether, instead moving forward and jumping over gaps to avoid getting lost in the maze or held up by obstacles.

Another couple tries of the whole thing and Cass would have figured out that not only were short cuts okay but welcome. But she didn’t mind. There was still an adrenaline rush in dashing through the obstacles. Ducking fluidly underneath some sort of roller, she could feel the whole of her back arch. Let no one think she wasn’t flexible. She was! She didn’t expect to beat Trenton either, but Cass was also going to give it her best shot. Ashlynn could probably see Cass moving well from her view and it would become apparent that Abrams had exceptional reaction time to incoming and moving obstacles and had this been an armed attack run of some kind, she would be able to put up quite the fight. She wasn’t afraid to fight dirty. It would also be apparent as she faced obstacle after obstacle that despite how much they were slowing her down, Cass was enjoying herself.

Ashlyn was waiting at the end of the maze for Cass, sipping on a bottle of water. When Cass finishes the course, she tosses a bottle to her. “You know, I can’t say for sure who won this one. Me for getting to the end first, or you for doing all the obstacles.” Ashlyn finished off her water and started stretching. “I think I’ve had enough for today, we’ll get more into it later, preferably after the engineers finish the upgrade so we can run the full Trenton Park. This is a nice training area, but it lacks the full feel you get when running for your life or trying to attain an arbitrary goal for the sake of feeling awesome.”

Abrams caught the bottle and chuckled. “Don’t need a holodeck program to know what running for your life is like. Stick around on this ship long enough and you’ll get there,” she said before taking a long swig of her water. “Good workout though,” she said, trying to catch her breath.

Ashlyn chuckled softly but kept her thoughts to herself so as to not make comments she’s sure she would regret later. “That it is Lieutenant. I still look forward to the upgrades so we can use the full program, I think you’ll have more fun with it than just a workout program. I’ve got a full culture programmed in with social settings for those that just want to come and watch. It’s been a lot of work from a group of us that has turned into a labor of love and is well worth it.” Ashlyn finishes her bottle and picks up her stuff to head out. “As much as I enjoy parkour and all the fun of chasing you around, I am in desperate need of a shower, some food, and sleep. I’ll see you for muster tomorrow then?”
