[ When the camera switches on, Gamora is in her apartment, Godslayer across her lap (diligently cleaned and freshly oiled), and she’s holding her communicator with her usual unreadable expression in place. ]

I want to expand my training opportunities. Those looking to spar or test their abilities – I want a challenge.

[ And with a slight lift of her brow— ]

Or let me know if you simply want others to practice with. Tell me how you prefer to fight, and we can work something out.

[ What a friendly and welcoming message.

… Except definitely the opposite of that.

Gamora is working on that “reaching out” thing, on trying to get a better idea of who and what surrounds her in the city, and she might as well use it as a chance to stretch her legs and potentially come up against a worthy opponent or two. ]

Studied at the Galaxy Garrison at home. It's both an space exploration institution and a military academy. Self-defense and unarmed fighting are part of the curriculum that I took. Also have a year of experience I would prefer not to have where it was either fight or die.

[godslay]

[ The shift in Gamora's expression is subtle, but certainly present. ]

Then we have something in common.

[ And that's about all she's going to offer, continuing on, ]

Do you currently work with the Guard?

[lionunchained]

I'm finding I have a lot of things in common with people here.

[Since he hadn't offered either, not asking her to offer]

Yes, I work both with the divisions that help with orientation and search and rescue.

[godslay]

If you're in search and rescue, that's my division.

[ Squad Captain Gamora, reporting for duty. ]

That should make it easier to coordinate a time and place to spar.

[lionunchained]

Then I remembered correctly. I wasn't sure if you'd recognize me.

[Since he worked in two different divisions and not full time in one]

It will. We'll figure out a time that works.

[godslay]

Mostly in passing. It's a large division.

[ She offers a short nod. ]

I am Gamora.

[ ... Proper introductions are probably a good idea. ]

[lionunchained]

It is a large division. The orientation division is much smaller.

[He pretty much knew everyone in that division]

Shiro.

[godslay]

[ Gamora's not great at the "nice to meet you," part of introductions, so she just gives another curt nod. ]

I assume the training facilities would be suitable enough as a location for something like this?

[lionunchained]

[Shiro's just going to go with it, don't worry]

The training facilities would work for sparring. I don't think there is a better one.

[godslay]

Then I'll contact you with possible times, and we can arrange to meet there.

[lionunchained]

Works for me. We can discuss it then.
