This series of corridors
access the living areas of the ship. Officer and VIP quarters are the furthest
forward, with crew quarters to the aft. Usually this area is relatively
quiet, as offduty crewmembers get their rest and relaxation.

Obvious Hatches:
Hatch <Out> leads to Corridor 3B.
Sennya glance shaprly at the child's sudden arrival.
A vulcan youth enters moving quickly through the hall looking behind
not paying much attention. He approaches Sennya quickly headed directly
for her while continuing to look behind him.
Sennya tenses into defensive posture as the boy careens toward her.
Nearly running into the young human woman, the boy pauses just in the
nick of time. He turns to face her and straightens his posture before saying,
"Pardon me."
Sennya stares cooly at the Vulcan youth.
"Who are you?" the child asks. "I've never seen you before." he states
with a quirked brow.
Sennya says, "I just arrived today."
The child gazes over the woman for a while quietly before inquiring,
"What will you do around here? What will be your assignment?"
Sennya blinks at the child's directness.
S'tone blinks back at the woman then asks, "Is this some form of archaic
communication?"
Sennya says, "I suppose that's up to my..superiors."
Sennya says, "archaic...?"
S'tone tilts his head slightly then quivers his brow. "Yes" he says,
"Archaic, a terran word meaning old or ancient."
Sennya snorts dirisively and smirks.
Sennya glances down the corridor at the little girl looking on.
Sennya says, "Well, I have things to do..."
Sennya smirks slightly at the boy, then continues down the corridor,
glancing at a datapad before escaping into one of the quarters.
Sennya enters the cq1.
S'tone walks over to the Chief Medical Officer quarters and enters
as the hatch opens and closes behind him.
You enter the cmed.
CMED
Please mail room desc to Raypez.
Occupied:
Rene
T'Pesh
At the cmed, S'tone says, "Hey dad let's spar!"
At the cmed, Rene looks at S'tone for a moment, "You want to spar,
hmm?"
At the cmed, T'Pesh looks over at S'tone with a look of dissapproval.
At the cmed, T'Pesh says, "Violence is not a good solution."
At the cmed, Rene looks at S'tone and then back at T'Pesh but doesn't
say a word.
At the cmed, T'Pesh lowers her head a moment then looks over at Rene.
She walks over to the kitchen and begins to prepare a meal.
At the cmed, Rene looks at T'Pesh and then back at S'tone.
You paged Sennya with 'it's a way to save on space.'.
At the cmed, Rene looks at S'tone, "Give me one good reason that I
should spar with you and I shall."
You paged Sennya with 'but you can't hear what we're saying.. can think
of it like being able to type ABOARD and see where people are on the ship.'.
Sennya accesses the ship's occupancy index at the companel.
At the cmed, S'tone thinks for a few minutes before answering
his father. "One day it may become necessary for me defend myself physically
to ensure not only my own survival but the survival of others." he says
in reply then gazes up into his father's hazel eyes to wait for reply.
At the cmed, T'Pesh continues working quietly in the kitchen, preparing
her family's meal.
You paged Sennya with 'type look intercom'.
You paged Sennya with 'then look companel'.
At the cmed, Rene looks at S'tone for a moment, slowly he raises his
left hand to his chin and begins to scratch his skin. After a lenghty pause,
he slowly states, "Good answer," after looking over the child, he adds
in, "A little too good. Where did you get that answer from?"
At the cmed, S'tone rubs his neck for a moment then looks around the
room. He begins to frown but catches himself and turns to look at his mother
for a moment. He turns his gaze back to his father and says, "It is logical?"
he says in more a tone of inquiry.
At the cmed, T'Pesh lifts her gaze quietly, observing S'tone for a
moment then gazes at his father.
"Not bad of an answer," Rene responds. Slowly stepping forward, he
speaks to the boy, "So what do you want spar in?" After reaching a feet's
distance of his son, he adds in, "Bladed, blunt weapons, or hand to hand
combat?"
After some careful thought, the boy says, "Bladed." "I've been reading,"
he says, "and I believe it is part of Vulcan customs to learn this at my
age."
At the cmed, T'Pesh softens her gaze at her husband as he turns to
look at her. She looks over to her son for a few moments then looks back
down at the meal she is preparing.
At the cmed, S'tone walks over to the rack and eyes each weapons for
some time. He reaches for one weapon then draws his hand back and moves
to another. Finally, he reaches for the S'harien and removes it from the
weapons rack. He looks over to his father with out a word.
"You certainly know how to pick them kid," Rene states as he watches
S'tone choose the S'harien blade. "That same blade is called, by some,
the most deadly and the most accurate of all blades." Slowly he walks over
to the rack and selects the ancient Ninja-to blade.
At the cmed, T'Pesh covers the dish she is working with and looks over
to Rene. "I will be in the sickbay if you need me." she says. She begins
to make her way to the door.
At the cmed, S'tone nods to his father then looks over at his mother
as she heads for the door.
"This blade is smaller, lighter and extremely sharp weapon," he pauses
as he raises his blade to his face, holding the black wrap in his hand
and placing his thumb on the weapon's pummel. "Make your first move, S'tone,"
Rene states.
T'Pesh leaves the cmed.
T'Pesh goes through the hatch to the corridor 3b.
T'Pesh has left.
"Okay," S'tone replies. He waits a moment then runs toward his father
holding the blade over his head with both hands. The blade points toward
the ceiling. As he comes close to his father he clumsily lowers it trying
to hack at Rene.
The former Admiral simply stands there as his son comes barreling through
towards him, blade in both hands and charging. Rene waits until the last
second to sidestep the boy and then swivel his body in a 180 degree motion
while at the same time flipping his wrist around and using the blunt side
of the blade to lightly tap the lower leg above the knee of S'tone. He
then quickly raises the blade up again, but does not look backwards.
The boy trips and falls with the blade nearly nipping his own ear off
but moves his head to the side in the knick of time. He rolls over and
leaps to his feet. He turns around to face his father heaving out of breath.
His eyes become misty and he continues breathing hard and swalling trying
to maintain his composure as his eyes steadily become more and more moist.
Giving the child no time to even think about crying, Rene does the
exact same maneuver that his son once attempted and makes the exact same
mistakes as he charges forward raising his blade with both hands and rushing
forth towards the child.
Reacting as opposed to thinking as he notices his father coming toward
him, S'tone side steps and taps his father's leg in the same manner which
had been done to him. Instead of not looking back he turns around immediately.
He wipes his face with the back of his hand, removing most any trace of
the moisture but continues heaving for a few moments.
"The trademark of a true bladesman is not the ability to kill or maim
in one shot," Rene responds as he turns around to face his heaving son.
"It is the ability to react and not think to whats coming to you. Just
act." He looks at S'tone, "Make your next move."
S'tone sighs and says, "But dad, how can I just act if I don't know
what's going to happen next?" He lowers his blade dragging it across the
floor approaching is father slowly with his shoulders slumped and his head
tilted down his eyes affixed to the floor.
"However said that you had to act?" Rene inquires as he watches the
slouching child. "I said act, I didn't say attack. By waiting for me to
strike is an act by itself," he adds in, "And keep your weapon and shoulder
up at all times."
S'tone takes a final breath of composure, no longer heaving, no trace
of mist in his eyes. He lifts his head and cuffs both hands around the
hilt of the sword. He raises it slowly and moves his shoulders up and back.
He opens his legs partially placing one foot slightly behind the other.
He gives his father a nod and keeps his gaze on him.
"Much better," remarks Rene. With a swift movement of his hand, he
swings the blade downward at S'tone's creating quite a loud clang as the
two blades slam into each other.
<SNW Arbitrator> S'tone succeeds his average STRENGTH roll by 1.
S'tone tries to push his father's sword back with his own. He leans
forward pushing and pushing. He clenches his teeth together as he struggles.
Moran arrives through the hatch from the corridor 3b.
Moran has arrived.
Moran enters the fo.
The clanging of bladed weapons resounds distantly through the corridors.
<SNW Arbitrator> Rene succeeds his average STRENGTH roll by 2.
The exterior hatch to the First Officer's quarters opens again,
a head poking out. It hovers in mid air, the rest of the body inside. It
waits.
Taja-Koi arrives through the hatch from the corridor 3b.
Taja-Koi has arrived.
The clanging of bladed weapons resounds distantly through the corridors.
"What are you trying to do exactly," Rene whispers over to S'tone.
"I'm taller and I weight more. I have that leverage as well I am stronger,
atleast I'd like to think I'm stronger." He suddenly takes a step backward,
drawing his hand down to his side and watching to see what happens next.
Moran has his head sticking out from his open quarters doors. He frowns,
listening again. Shouting now, he says, "Someone better have a permit for
that unauthorized whatever it is, before I throw them a beatdown."
Taja-Koi swings into the corridor, looking a little tired, and from
the way she runs her fingers through her hair, having just a -little- bit
of a bad hair day. She SIGHs dramatically and enters the junior officers'
shared quarters, jerking the front zipper of her uniform just as the door
swishes closed behind her.
<SNW Arbitrator> Moran succeeds his difficult HEARING roll by 4.
Moran hears the zipper, and sighs softly himself.
At the cmed, S'tone falls back away from his father as his father is
much stronger. He lifts his blade again right away and swings it wildly
toward his father. "Uh!" he groans as he tries to slice at the older Retired
Fleet Admiral type guy.
*clang* *clang* *clang*
<SNW Arbitrator> S'tone fails his average BLADED_WEAPONS roll by
13.
After long hours of sweat and study, Rene teaches S'tone further in
the ways of Bladed_weapons.
<SNW Arbitrator> Rene succeeds his average BLADED_WEAPONS roll by
7.
"Why are you swinging wildly at me?" Rene states calmly as he fends
off the ill fated shots. "That's getting you nowhere," making no attempt
to attack the wildly swinging S'tone, he says, "Try something a bit more,"
he pauses, "planned."
At the cmed, S'tone steps back and takes a deep breath. He readies
himself placing one foot slightly behind the other continuing to grasp
the hilt of the S'harien with both hands. He closes his eyes a moment pausing
then looks up at his father. A look of determination crosses his face.
He leans toward Rene and slices upward toward his chest chest. He leans
into the blow putting his full weight into it.
<SNW Arbitrator> S'tone fails his average BLADED_WEAPONS roll by
6.
Moran steps out, frowning. He walks towards the source of the commotion.
<SNW Arbitrator> Rene succeeds his average BLADED_WEAPONS roll by
8.
Moran clears his throat, once, walking down the corridor.
The clangs are loudest near the chief Medical Officer's quarters.
At the cmed, Rene looks at S'tone for a moment watching each and every
and movement. Deciding to show the kid a thing or two, he flips the blade
in his hand and jerks his body backwards trying to backstep the incoming
blow while stretching his hand and bringing the blade from his right side
to the center where the kid is attacking, he sends the blunt edge of the
weapon into fingers of S'tone, tapping him once more.
At the cmed, S'tone drops his weapon as his father's weapon's blunt
edge taps his fingers. He looks up at his father with his bottom lip quivering.
His eyes begin to become all misty onces again and he begins breathing
quick and heavy.
A clattering can be heard from the CMO's quarters.
T'Pesh arrives through the hatch from the corridor 3b.
T'Pesh has arrived.
Moran chimes the CMO's quarters.
At the cmed, Rene looks at S'tone for a moment, "I think you have had
enough training for tonite." Slowly he moves over towards the heaving misty
eyed wuss of a child, "It's alright. Too much too quickly."
T'Pesh moves quickly toward the CMO quarters. She moves so quickly
that if one did not see her feet they would think she was running. She
stops and notes Moran chiming at her door and says, "Pardon me, Commander",
as she prepares to enter.
Moran quietly says, "There's something in your quarters, Commander,
and its fighting something else."
At the cmed, S'tone turns his head abruptly as he hears the chiming
at the door. Thinking it might be his mother he wipes his eyes and takes
a few deep breaths trying to regain his composure.
Corwin has connected.
Corwin accesses the ship's occupancy index at the companel.
"Yes Commander I am aware of this." T'Pesh says as she presses her
hand against the door and prepares to enter as the hatch opens.
At the cmed, Rene looks at S'tone, his expression can only be described
as a 'what the hell is that' look. After hmming for a moment, he looks
at the door and points towards it, "Check to see who that is, son."
At the cmed, S'tone says, "Yes father."
As the door opens, a vulcan child peeks out and says, "Who is it?"
His eyes widen slightly as he sees his mother standing there.
Moran raises an eyebrow. "Ensure that it does not bleed on the ship's
carpeting, Commander."
T'Pesh looks down at S'tone attempting to guise the look of concern
on her face, but her eyes betray her. "Are you injured, my son?" she asks
him.
S'tone says, "I am well mother.. father and I were just training. I've
learned some new moves."
At the cmed, Rene just simply looks on, "He did well."
S'tone peeks back in the quarters for a minute. He gazes at his mother
and then disappears inside.
T'Pesh says, "I can assure you there are no stains anywhere in our
quarters. If you would like to inspect, you are permitted."
Moran says, "I would rather have an assurance that the persons inside
are not injured, Commander, so preventing such stains from accumulating."
"Such can be assured through your own eyes. Do come inside." T'Pesh
says and walks inside.
T'Pesh enters the cmed.
At the cmed, T'Pesh says, "S'tone go prepare yourself for sleeping."
At the cmed, S'tone says, "Yes mother."
T'Pesh peeks outside and asks Moran, "Are you coming in, Commander?
My family is preparing to sleep for the night."
Moran enters the cmed.
At the cmed, Moran enters, looking about. "Well, then."
At the cmed, S'tone comes back out into the main room as he hears the
someone stepping through the hatch. He eyes Moran quietly then goes and
stands next to his father, slightly behind him.
At the cmed, T'Pesh looks over to Rene and says, "The Commander was
under the impression that someone might be injured here."
At the cmed, Rene looks over at S'tone and then over at T'Pesh and
then back at S'tone, "You injured?" He asks.
At the cmed, S'tone looks over at his father and then over to his mother
and then over to the Commander person then finally back to his father and
says, "No father, I am uninjured."
At the cmed, S'tone looks over to Moran and asks, "Has your inquiry
been satisfied?"
At the cmed, Moran nods. "For future reference, the noise level of
your training was excessive, and generated concern. See it does not happen
again, as disturbances or affrays are investigated by our tactical department."
At the cmed, T'Pesh nods to Moran and replies, "We will direct future
training sessions to the gymnasium."
At the cmed, Moran nods. "Very well. Good evening."
At the cmed, Moran turns and leaves.
Moran leaves the cmed.
At the cmed, S'tone turns and looks at Rene and asks, "Daddy, who was
that man and why did he want to know if someone was injured?"
At the cmed, Rene says, "He's bald son, he can't help but being curious"
At the cmed, T'Pesh quirks a brow at Rene and interupts S'tone before
he can make any further inquiries. "You are young," she says, "and you
need your rest. It is time to sleep."
At the cmed, S'tone nods toward his mother and replies, "Yes mother."
He goes to his bedroom and disappears as the hatch closes behind him.
