The HopeMk2 was ready to be tested. He'd improved it's power source and added some improvements to it. The armor and power source would be the only new additions to it that were capable of helping in every possible combat situation. However the other two were useful from a utility standpoint, and long term that was far more important than outright power output. He learned that lesson already, at the cost of a Brave Tuffle's life. He wasn't going to make that same mistake and crank out max power until he was sure the containment and suit could handle it.
Rather than train outside, he had decided to take up one of those training rooms for the privacy that they offered. Already suited up he was firing several plasma blasts at targets that he'd set up. Flipping and twisting mid air while making other shots. Both to calibrate his targeting computer, and ensure that he retained mobility and flexibility of the suit.
It totally wasn't because it made him look badass. Which it did in his opinion. But that was just a happy side effect of proper testing!

Rhona heard some blasting going off in one of the training rooms and decided to investigate. She rounded a corner and was startled and amused by the sheer epic looking suit prancing up and about. Badass it did look intentional or not she felt like this could not be real. As a matter of fact she was almost positive it had to be some CGI... only almost. Of course it would be Bana that moved about in that suit. It was only him and she only guessed it would be his sister who'd come to battle dressed in some wicked sci-fi looking suit.
She'd let out an impressed whistle, leaning on the frame of open door with her arms crossed.

As soon as the doors opened his sensors beeped and his body twisted mid air, landing in a crouch with one hand pointed at the door and a ball of plasma building up in his hand. The Peace talks had been tense the last few days, and he did not put it beyond the Saiyans to attack any of the Tuffle representatives while off of the Peace Summit grounds. However seeing it was only Rhona the arm lowered and the plasma energy receded.
"Come to train I take it?"
His distorted voice came through the suit's speakers, he imagined that was why anyone would come here. Especially those that depended on their biology for strength. The question was more of a formality to confirm his assumption. Though as a secondary avenue to confirm that assumption his left hand would swipe at the air, a holographic display popping up allowing him to type as he worked his way through the security of the system to see if she had registered to use this room.
Or any room.

Rhona left the door way and kept her grin. "Yeah... been avoiding my little island for a bit, to be sure it is not full of this planets very first dangerously radioactive site. We have some paranoia about that back on my planet. Their are places so radioactively toxic that they are not habitable. I'd rather play it safe."
She shrugged the whole thing and looked at his suit. "Looks like you made some adjustments the blast gun is pretty rad."

"The blaster itself is the same."
He corrected, though last time she didn't exactly get a good look at it. Since he had fired on them while they were otherwise distracted by fighting each other. A fair enough point that he wouldn't expand upon further.
"The main combat utilities I added was an increase to my power output and some slight reinforcement of the armor plating."
Very slight, neither would be up to par with her natural abilities. But that was hardly the point. The non combat applications were the real treat of the Mk2. He swiped his hand again and the holographic display vanished, he'd gotten what he needed from it.
"What are you focusing your training on?"
He was admittedly curious about her regimen.

Rhona touched her shoulder. She often did it out of habit since her Bo broke she doesn't wear the strap anymore. "Ah... normally it is just basics. Seeing how many times I can do somethings and making them flow together faster and harder, repeating over and over again, further improving form, focus, and reaction time."
While she spoke she tightened her gloves and got into a firm stance and began a memorized pattern of blocking. It would be as if a Wing Chun Dummy stood in front of her. She hopped on one foot and brought a knee to hop on the next and bring up that knee as well the movements were imbedded in her muscle and she was fluid and quick in every move.
She leaned back and her hands met the ground bringing on foot up before the other all slow and balance. shifting her body slightly to remove one hand from under her and bring herself on the tips of five fingers. "Not trying to be a show off but you can never not improve your form." she brought her feet back down and stood up right

"There wouldn't be anything wrong if you were showing off."
If you had skill and harnessed your talent there was no shame in being proud of it. Or flaunting it. Fake modesty was a waste of everyone's time anyway. It was far better to be proud about what you were capable of, and if people got jealous or upset about it then it was better to find out off the bat rather than waste time with people beneath you.
"I agree, there is always something that can be improved upon."
There was always reason to innovate and find a more efficient way to do something. Becoming satisfied and deciding something was good enough was stagnation, and stagnation was the true killer.

Rhona would get into another stance this one was more like british boxing, she bounces from knee to knee and her arms were close to her face ready for a guard. She'd bring forth a tap against his shoulder just a light touch. "However when with someone else it goes another level. You get to put that practice to the test and you realize how the bit you take off focus and balance can affect everything."
She stopped bouncing. "While I am here... do you want to go at it?"

He considered her offer. His suit still wouldn't be up to par with her physical abilities at it's current power output. However he had just upgraded it. And he was curious to see how the pods handled against a thinking opponent. It might be worth it to see how the pods function in a live fire exercise.
"Sure, I could test out a few things."

Rhona had the thought to remain mostly defensive if he was testing out his armor. Mostly but not entirely, it might not be a full test if she refrained herself that much. She returned to the balls of her feet, arms were up, and at the ready.
"Come at me bro." She grinned wide an waited for him to step forward. She'd take a tactical approach to his attacks to search out the weak points and test him at the same time he is testing himself. Finding openings and increasing reaction time will find the window to the road of improvement.

"Sure, why not."
Not like he couldn't just repair the stuff that was about to be broken. But it would be nice to see how it all handled against an organic, and more data was useful before it had to actually be deployed in the field. Never let it be said that he didn't sacrifice for science.
A compartment on his back would shoot out five small pods that would light up and start to fly around the training room. Bana himself would hop back to put some distance between them as his scanners locked onto her.
One by one each of the pods would lock on and fire lasers at Rhona from all directions!

Rhona was surprised to see the pods come up and she almost though they were some kind of missile. She lept back a couple of steps but then they behaved weirdly and started to shoot the Lasers. More surprised than before Some of them took a stab at her.
She yelped in response of the lasers and began to skate, she zipped around as they chased her having a solid lock on her. she was having trouble keeping ahead however. This was going to be annoying. "Oi, these would have made Wasabi and I dance a little jig the other day."
She pointed her hand back and shot a couple of short bursts of hot blast from between her fingers. They moved rather erratically so she was not sure if she'd hit them as she circled around. She was going to use up most of her energy to gain some distance until she thought about a better way to do this.

"That's part of the purpose."
He'd say as she was dodging the lasers that were firing at her from various directions and elevations. Extending his palms outward to fire a plasma blast at her as she shifted her hand back to try and fire at his pods which continued to move about.
One of the pods that she fired at continued to zip out of the way while the second one fried and crashed to the ground with a thud. Though all four remaining pods would continue to fire lasers at Rhona.

She did not see the plasma blast come in time and it made contact knocking her off balance. She'd quickly pull up her hood hoping it would shelter her wit the next wave of pelleting laser blasts. It was like being shot with paint balls but they burned worse. She'd peak out from under it and shoot three more small orbs at where she spotted them the best she could with her left.
But out of sight from where Bana was standing she'd take the extra second to fire up a bigger blast in her right hand. She launched that one in Bana's direction as she got her flight going again remaining very low to the ground she hovered at an angle. It would be low and probably aim close to his legs.

Seeing the pods were at least having some effect was encouraging. Though it seemed they were to weak to be burning holes through her. But what the hell, this wasn't war. It was a simulation. He'd activate his reflexive enhancer, letting his sensors and AI programming take over some of the work on his aiming and controlling the pods. Though the speed of her attacks was enough to take out another one of the pods before she launched her bigger attack at him.
Though he'd anticipated that already, leaping upward the moment her body began to shift toward his direction, the blast hitting where his feet had been as he fired another plasma blast for her face. The assumption being that she'd block it, taking away her vision and ability to deal with the lasers for the moment.
