((Security Training Facilities - Combat Mat Room - USS Artemis-A))

Vitor had a grin on his lips as he made his way to the Sec Gym, as he called the training facilities. After Nat’s message he took some time to train for a few days, so he could “help” her achieve the hand to hand certification.

If it wasn’t a formal thing he would have dragged Nat to his boxing hologym, but being a certification they had to do it by the book. That was why he was wearing his training suit and a PADD as he entered the combat room.
Nat was already there and he smiled as he stepped up and set down the PADD in one of the racks.

Silveira: Hello Lieutenant.

Cole: Lieutenant Commander.

Vitor nodded and started stretching as part of the warming up for the drill.

Cole: Reporting for hand-to-hand recertification. I trust this remains a certification and not an excuse for Tactical to humble Security in a controlled environment.

Vitor smiled at the little provocation. He made a mental note to be slightly more careful than last time. He nearly pulled one of Tho’bi’s antennae out in the heat of their scuffle.

Silveira: But of course Lieutenant. ::Smirking and winking at her as he bent down:: I would never do that.

He noticed by her expression Nat didn’t quite believe him.

Cole: I’m assuming you want this treated like a proper evaluation, not just a friendly reminder that the deck can, in fact, hit back.

She stepped closer to the edge of the mat and began rolling her sleeves with neat, methodical precision. Vitor smiled as he stretched his legs.

Cole: How would you like to begin, sir?

Nat clasped her hands behind her when she finished. Vitor stepped to the mat twitching his neck.

Silveira: As with any hand to hand combat.

He stood straight and bowed to Nat, fading away the grin and raised his right hand to her.

Cole: Response

As Nat moved to tap his hand, he quickly threw a left hook and closed the distance. Nat was a trained security officer and he would be surprised  if she didn’t react.
Although she managed to avoid his first blow, he bent down quickly and went for her legs as he shouted.

Silveira: C’MON LIEUTENANT… Are you expecting a fair fight?

Cole: Response

Vitor moved fast and tried to hit her ribs, throwing punch after punch and closing the gap between them. He was heavier than her, had more experience and he was going to push her hard.  Still he made positive notes on how fast she was defending, even if he kept bombarding her with punches.

Now the psychological warfare also began. Between breaths and blows he managed to speak

Silveira: You disappoint me… I was expecting better…

He shifted from punches to a low kick aimed at her left knee.

Cole: Response
