A chance meeting (Achilles & Emily)

[Deleted]

There Achilles was walking down the beach in the heat of the mid day with a nice breeze blowing about, and being glad he work his warm weather uniform (image 01, image 02, information), anyone who was knowledgeable about the military would know he's an extremely decorated Colonel by his rank insignia and awards.

After walking around for a few hours, enjoying this nice place, Achilles noticed a beautiful young lady who seemed to be practicing some form of martial arts.

After Achilles watched for several minutes, he approached her and spoke.

"Well hello there beautiful. What are you up to here?"

Achilles looked to her through his black designer sunglasses face.

[Emily Peterson]

Emily had been on the Blue Bay Harbor Beach for hours now. She had woken up before any of the other Rangers and had quickly gotten dressed, eaten breakfast, grabbed her sword and Samuraiser, and and then sneaked out. She had done some warm ups before going into a Kata which consisted of punches and kicks, including some spin kicks, though those were somewhat wobbly as she was just starting to learn those.

Emily smiled. She loved practicing by herself. When no one was around, she could train the way she was meant to: powerful and strong, performing the moves correctly and with experience. When she was with the others, she had to mess up a lot to keep her cover.

After finishing the Kata, had picked up her sword and had thrust it at the air and then acted as if she was battling an invisible enemy, making sure to keep her moves sharp, concise, and accurate.

A man's voice broke the silence, startling her. She turned around, her fingers tightening around the sword's hilt. To her surprise, an African-American man in some kind of white military uniform was standing behind her.
"Who are you?" she asked suspiciously, as she held her sword out in front of her protectively.
