Ashlyn watched with Jerrin and commentated with some background instruction as she was going through the track. “Each person has their own way of comfortably doing this. The Lieutenant can count on more physical strength than I can so a lot of her motion, while slower, is based on that strength. I on the other hand count on momentum and agility which is why my method looks more flighty or acrobatic. It’ll be up to you to find your own way of doing Parkour, but that freedom is a part of what makes it fun! That and knowing how to jump across rooftops without hurting yourself.”

Jerrin nodded. “Can’t say I’ve jumped from any roofs lately. Learn something new everyday, right?” he said with a hint of a smile. He was imagining the look on his mother’s face if he had been doing this back on Tenra. Then again they really hadn’t talked a lot about Tenra at all.

Sharah looked at the run and glared at Ashlyn. She was not ready for dives at all. She eyes the track and changes the approach. She won’t hit everyone but she’ll get to the end. She takes the stairs and platforms and aims for the lower level of vaults. Instead of dives, Sharah uses the horizontal bars to the side to swing and land from. She ends having to dismount the last platform with a roll from a drip. She comes out of the roll and stands. She mumbles to Ashlyn, “If I get hurt, I am making you tell Rainns,” she jokes with her friend. That run had been slightly harder than her skill level, but Sharah had actually finished it and was grinning like crazy.

When it was his turn, Jerrin took the course slower and it was clear he neither had the physical training of the others, nor the ease of movement. But he was good at copying. He had mimicked most of Abrams movements, but a couple of times had gone for Fayth’s choices.

Meanwhile, Vora had awkwardly ran through the course, and while she lacked speed, her precision was not bad for a beginner. She hadn’t been exaggerating that her agility was not up to par compared to the others, but her memory had helped her problem solve well in advance, and that had been her leg up, as it were.

Ashlyn gave her friend a playful nudge, “You know the moment he sees my face instead of yours he’d hijack the ship and slam it right into my side of the quarters to make sure you were okay.” Ashlyn watched as Cass and Jerrin finished the course and her smile grew big and playful. “That was a great warmup! Who’s up for a game now?” The excited Ensign walked off that field and across the road to the other side which had a much larger field for play. The console lights up for that side and she puts in parameters for the game. “Should we do red versus blue or players versus CPU?” She puts in the vote and the program hesitates for a moment as a giant game of Kal-toh appears with platforms peppered about, some of which are moving. “Wow, looks like even this program is a bit hard on the Holodeck system.”

“Uh, I vote for whatever might be the most fun. I’m not very good at this at all,” Jerrin said.

Striding over with a slight grin, Vora was catching her breath. “I think I prefer rock climbing,” she said with a laugh before looking at Cassidy, who, while working up a bit of a sweat, hadn’t looked too fazed by the course at all. “And you suck. Next you’re going to tell me that you’ve been doing that since you were a kid too.”
