009 [Action/Video]

[Another routine training session at the Battle Dome. Karla finishes another battle with the advanced bandits programming that Ginia had taught her. However, it's only after the battle is finished when her own exhaustion seems to hit her like a freight train. Her entire body aches, and a tightening sensation in her chest. She hadn't noticed it during the battle, and she's certainly never felt this bad after one. In fact, she actually decides to quit her training session early.]

[She staggers out of the simulation room on her way out, then pauses, coughing violently.]

[Karla's definitely sick; she's sure of it now. She's put her physical activity on hold, but the urge to battle still rages within her. And worse, indulging in battle is not the ultimate answer.]

[Still coughing as she opens her journal, she waits for a lull before speaking, her voice hoarse and weak.]

...Has anyone ever had a hunger for battle that you just can't quench? What do you do to keep it from consuming you?

[Cato would've answered that question gladly, at least he would have until he saw her.]

You don't look so hot.

...I don't feel so hot, Cato...

[Assuming the word "hot" meant "good" in this context.]

I might have been pushing too hard...or it could just be the winter...I don't know...
