Cmdr. Genkos Adea - Tassa'akai

[Genkos Adea]

((Gymnasium, Deck 4 - USS Artemis-A))

Genkos arrived early to the Gymnasium in order to set up. It had been an absolute age since he’d last played tassa’akai, and he needed to warm up as well as prepare the physical space. First, he showered in the gym’s accompanying bathroom and got into his workout outfit - a tight bodysuit in a pale teal and accompanying belt. Hanging from said belt was an akai, a collapsible fighting baton of Betazoid origin. 

Next, he set out the “arena” - a long thin strip of a stage, padded on either side in case they fell, with a bench beside for resting and keeping their drinks. Genkos took a long swig of chilled uttaberry juice and began a series of stretches. 

In the midst of one stretch, his head dangling between his legs, he saw the doors swoosh open, and a familiar face enter.

Adea: Aha! Talos, good to see you.

Dakora: Response

Genkos gestured to the playing area, then took another sip of uttaberry juice. The last time he’d played a round with a real opponent was with Corliss, aboard the Gorkon, which was… longer ago than he cared to mention. He’d focused on playing against holograms in the intervening time, but they never managed to get the telepathic elements of the game right.

Adea: When was the last time you played a bout of tassa’akai? 

Dakora: Response

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
