One could tell at a glance that her body wasn’t made for combat. Lean muscle, tiny frame, and almost zero skill. If talk from Earth could travel, it would be ringing loudly in everyone’s ears. Angelique paused outside the door to the training deck. She had asked Coran a few questions and he didn’t seem to get the gist as to why. All she needed was access to weaponry and how to activate it. The paladins were away, she needed something to do, she may as well use it while everyone was gone. Besides, their mission wasn’t supposed to be dangerous, so no one should come back with heavy injuries. Even if they did, she could just pull on a sweater, cover up her secret, and treat them like normal.
Walking inside as the doors slid open with a hiss she walked her way across the metal floor she went to a cabinet and typed in a code, doors swinging open to reveal an array of weapons. While the others came fully equipped with their Bayards, someone like her did not. The weapons ranged from gunfire to close quarters. It wasn’t until she found a cutlass looking one, reaching inside she picked it up, balancing the weight in her hands. It seemed to be light, but the metal was definitely stronger than back home. Fingers slightly shaking she reached over to shut the doors as they clicked shut and the lock engaged, she turned to walk her way to the right area on the floor.
The room was so wide, spacious, nothing to duck in cover behind. So she would have to rely on dodging. Well, better to begin than dawdle. Clearing her throat softly she opened her mouth and spoke loud enough for the automatic system to hear. “Begin training sequence. Close Combat; Level 1.” hearing her own voice ring around the area made a tingle of anxiety zip up her spine. Though, she was already to admit she was biting off more than she could chew when she saw the Altean made robot with its own form of a blade. A few second wait, giving her a chance to wet her dry throat with a swallow (which was difficult with that damn lump forming), but as the final tone rang both she and the robot moved at once for attack.
