*Gestures for the first PDF trooper to walk forward*

I'll just sit here you get the first hit free.

*Puts sword onto the floor*

You better make it hard.

[Yarrick looks around in confusion] ...I'm going mad.. I've cracked. I'm going to end up like Benny, and have my meals cut up for me because I'm not allowed real cutlery.
[Listens to Amelia] [Nods] [Reaches out a hand as she is pulled back and vanishes]
...I'll accept going mad, if it means I can see her face. [Looks thoughtful]

[Yawns and stretches] [Picks up pill] [Takes it with water, and lies back down] Just need a little nap to make sense of it all.

*Smiles*

Perhaps I will join the trainees then. Might make things a bit more interesting.

*Stands up and joins the recruits*

*Looks at them all*

You are faster than she is. She is in cumbersome armour, and as such, her reaction timer will take longer to tick over, so move in as one, and hit her where it hurts. Preferably the back of the knees. I will join you for this battle.

*Draws greatsword and throws it next to WK*

*Holds trooper back*

She comes to us. She fights on our terms. Come on then. Child.

*waves Vanden back irritated*
You will do no such thing. These are MY troopers, and Leonie volunteered to train them. I gave you no such permission. Now back off.

[Benny watches Perenelle and inclines head slightly] [Leans back on tank roof and watches training] [Drops down after a few minutes and wanders over]

*Smiles again*

They have no chance. You are sending them against a wall of pure hate and rage, bound into one very, very very small body. They will learn nothing from getting beat by her. So please, let me at least assist them. They will learn more with a actual fighter amongst them.

*Looks around at the trainees*

I mean no offense.

Ooc goodnight

Bic
And don,t hurt my husband.
Or you fight me...

And I know how to make it hurt. Alot.
*casually reverts back to happy Marla with wk*
Sorry dear, I know your the boss here. Not sure power armour is fair match. And my body suit last time stopped entire pdf.. Ol observe. And heal.

*Horus is watching the training leaning on a giant Khopesh and occasionally sighing with exasperation and facepalming*

Leonie is actually a rather nice woman. She's just a bit excitable. If they can hold their own against her then they will be pretty decent at combat. Now I'll say it again. Back off. You'll get your chance soon enough

*Puts up hands*

I will do as you wish.

*Moves next to WK*

You and I have very different training techniques.

Ooc feel free to NPC marla.

OOC COMBAT MEDIC AHOY!

So I get to punch people now?

*Creaks neck*

Come on then, put em up.

OOC who's playing the PDF troops?

[Sits next to Marla and watches from the closer seat] [Tilts head and studies Leonie's actions] [Writes down a small but incredibly accurate set of odds on a scrap of paper] [Gets distracted and chews pencil]

[Sound of very muffled crying from Butter Tank] ..?
[Looks over at Kimmy, who is fine and showing a trooper how to secure his bootlaces properly]
[Looks alarmed] I didn't know Daemons could grieve..

*one PDF Trooper lunges at Z15 and throws a punch at her*
*Guardsman winces at the Trooper's poor form but says nothing*

*Winces at the troopers poor form, but says nothing*

*Notices Guardsman doing the same*

*Straightens face and coughs lightly*

*Sits there and takes the punch unflinching*

I'm sorry.

*Punches the Trooper in the face dislocating his jaw*

*looks over at WK*

Was that too hard?

Nah.
*Marla carries the trooper to the med-bay*
*looks at the rest of the troopers*
Example 1 of how not to punch.
*second Trooper gets into position across from Z15*

*Calls out to troopers*

Don't go in one at a time! Use your numbers to your advantage!

*Cal receives the trooper from Marla*

Cal: This is the first of many isn't it?

*Marla nods*

[Drops paper and heads to butter tank] [Heads inside] ..Hello? You okay in here?
[Crying abruptly ceases]
Oh... My mistake... It must have been something on the TV. [Long pause] I can stay, if you like... Just you know, do couple stuff, put our feet up, have cocoa..

Oh, okay...

[Comes back out of the tank and closes hatch] [Hangs head slightly]

[Straightens up and looks around] [Curls up on sofa]

*Cracks back*

This should be interesting.

*Punches a PDF trooper in the gut*

*PDF Troopers all lunge at Z15*
*epic brawl begins*
*leans against the Butter Tank*
They'll come out of this as better fighters, and with broken bones and lacerations. But the big thing is they'll be better fighters.

*Horus sighs at the brawl and goes to get some wheelchairs*

*Facepalms and walks off*

I can't handle this...

*Turns back and looks at WK*

You should maybe teach them something before doing this to them. This lowers their spirit, and they learn nothing. And why make them do something that even you cannot? They will not become batter warriors if they cannot even get a hit off.

*Head butts a trooper and he KOs*

Oh come on that wasn't eve--

*Gets kicked in the head*

HEY!

*Grabs a trooper by both legs and starts spinning him around*

Oh I did teach them some things, this is refining their technique by actually having them fight something

I CAN!

*Breaks a troopers arm*

STILL HEAR YOU!

*Punches another Trooper in the face breaking his nose*

I'M A SOMEONE NOT SOMETHING!

Then have them fight something less...Agressive...

*Watches as several troopers fall over in pain*

See? They haven't even hurt her yet...And they're down half their numbers already...

*Holds temples*

Bloody hell...They will learn better if they watch two evenly meatch individuals fight. So pull them back and let me fight her.

*Gestures as the two troopers fall back*

See what I'm saying?

Let them finish. Then you can fight her.
*one Trooper lands a good punch on Z15*
