Considering... well, everything lately, I think I'd like to look into brushing up on self-defense. I only know some basics, really, but I feel like it would be a good idea to know more. If anyone would be willing to teach me, please let me know.

I'm afraid I don't have much to offer in return, but I can cook and I teach biology at Culver University in Virginia. My specialty is cellular biology. If that or other sciences are something that interests you, I'd be happy to continue teaching here, with or without anything in exchange.

I think it might be prudent to check on the gravity couches and the stasis fluid before the jump, just in case the power failure may have damaged them.

... I think I would definitely prefer just knowing how to get away unharmed.

That works. What do you know about basic strikes and take downs? Knowin' how to hit somebody's about as important as knowin' where to hit.

Well, I know when you punch someone, your thumb goes on the outside of your fist.

[ ... yup. ]

...And you know to punch with just the first two knuckles?

... You're only supposed to use the first two knuckles?

[Oh dear.]

Uh... Well, yeah. The other ones are smaller so they could get broken more easily. That's just annoyin' to deal with when you're in a fight, you know? And for some reason if you use less knuckle space it's supposed to hurt more. Not sure why.
