[The message today is in text, because she doesn't want anyone to hear how her voice shakes or see how exhausted she is.]

I know there's a lot going on right now, so I'll keep this quick.

Anyone who knew Ellie Linton, she's gone back to her own war, about ten days ago, so if you were worried about not having seen her around, that's why. Sorry for not contacting people privately, it was a little hard to keep up with who all she knew.

[And maybe there's part of her that just didn't want to deal with having the same conversation over and over again.

This is easier.]

For our new arrivals: my name's Steph, welcome to our temporary moon base, feel free to get in touch if there's anything I can help with. This is my tenth month since arriving, so I know a thing or two.

I also wouldn't mind some sparring partners. Or if anyone wants to learn how to fight, I know about twenty different martial arts styles and I'm happy to teach people to defend themselves. Anything to help keep busy.

That's it from me, have a nice day, everyone.

[She can hear Bruce saying it should never be an acceptable philosophy, but she's not enough of his asshole to say that.]

mundane in design, i'm baseline human, so i just work with what i've got. what sort of weapons do you use?

[speakveryclearly]

[Thank you for your tact Steph]

For Melee A Chainsaw
For Ranged A Gun (Thats The Sentient One)
I Have Technological Aides That Make Transporting Or Loading These Weapons A Non-Issue But The Null Fields Did Disable Those And I Couldnt Access Them At All

[controlledvariable]

a chainsaw

[SORRY SHE'S JUST A BIT CAUGHT ON THAT DETAIL]

[speakveryclearly]

Yes
I Assure You Its Not At All Unwieldly

[She's attached a video I'm sorry for Homestuck]

[It's not the unwieldy part she was worried about.

IT'S THE PART WHERE SOMEONE IS USING A CHAINSAW IN FIGHTS??? THAT'S SO FUCKING VICIOUS.

Good god.]

right

well, i can teach you some hand to hand combat as well as more conventional weaponry that'll work even when the null field is in place

[speakveryclearly]

[What is she, one of those people who thinks you don't just kill enemy soldiers the first chance you get?? Get with the program]

Good

So What Is The Sort Of Idea One Should Keep In Mind When Learning Hand-To-Hand

[controlledvariable]

[Not anymore but is it really necessary to do it so violently!!!

She just shoots them!!]

it's going to hurt. learning how to apply what i teach you means you're probably going to get punched a lot, and if you're not used to fighting hand-to-hand you're also gonna end up learning about a whole lot of muscles you didn't realize a) you had and b) could hurt so much.

on the same sort of note, if you really want to be able to use this stuff when it counts, you're gonna need to improve all round fitness. cardio + strength training is your friend.

most importantly: you're probably going to suck at first. and that's okay, you've just gotta be stubborn.

[Hey she has a gun too it just depends on the situation!!! Besides how much does the suffering they go through matter if they're dead in the end???]

Could You Please Define Cardio In This Context

[controlledvariable]

cardiovascular/aerobic exercise. things like running, swimming or cycling. low impact exercise that improves overall fitness.
