"Korra is still collecting and collating data. She'll have the info if we need it. Taz, Nod, and Peke are down on Bajor. Roadie is manning the cargo and access watch. Deena and Kotsoo and Chbet are dark cycle for next shift."

K'ner nodded at Tela. "Thanks. Go ahead and get your time in. I've got it here."

She smiled, excited to finally have some decent downtime, and with access to a space station!

K'ner shook her head as the Charlie Element TL hot-footed it out in her civvies to who knows where on DS9. 'At least she's not one I need to worry about getting a call from security on,' she thought as she closed out her log.

She took a deep breath, held it a second, then exhaled, dropping into forms that came so natural they were calming in and of themselves. It went on forever... or a few seconds... time held no meaning from move to move, but when she stopped, she knew how long it should've taken.

Feeling much better, K'ner slowly opened her eyes, making sure she hadn't awakened the three that were sleeping. Checking the chrono she smiled. Looking at the melee wall, she took down a few weapons and left for the renovated bay that now held the workout equipment again now that the space debris had been moved to the station.

No one was about, which she preferred, all off-duty personnel likely enjoying downtime on DS9. Not many besides a couple of people on her team, and maybe the XO, took workouts as seriously as she did. She stepped off the area she would work in, committing it to her tactical memory.

Activating the new suit they'd picked up at the Earth stop, she started with the iw'taj. After a while she was satisfied and swapped that out for a kar'takin, swinging it fast enough at times that it practically sang.

Breaking away to the side, sticking it into a crate prepared as a target, she rolled hard to reach the mek'leth, integrating that into her movements around the floor. When she lodged that into the same crate she used the suit's boost to leap back where the ahn'woon lay, swinging it initially into a defensive posture, then moving in and out between offense and defense, using many of its different applications.

She was breathing hard when she finally stopped, still flexing muscle groups in sequence as she measured her blood flow and heart rate, her breath rapid but even. Slinging it around her waist she wrenched the mek'leth free and boost-leaped as she stuck it to her back. She grabbed the spar from the wall, climbing higher for a distance until she leaped for another.
