== This takes place before what happens on the bridge ==
Peter had asked the computer where she was, and been told "Holodeck 1". He had "rung the bell", for lack of a better term... and then again when there was no response. This was unusual. Normally he'd at least have gotten an unhappy grunt at the interruption. Now there was none. Has she done something brave but foolish like disable the safety precautions?
He was not one to barge in on others' holodeck time unwelcome, but...well, this counted, he thought, as an emergency.
"Computer. Override lock, and open door. Standby for authorization", he said, unwilling to just blurt out his command code in the hallway. He entered it via a touchpad on the screen next to the door, though, and the door opened.
When it did, his worry increased slightly. Then he quickly asked the computer for a standard Bat'leth, and advanced.
And that's when he spotted them. There were two attackers. Both came out of the shadows and advanced towards Art while her back was turned.
"Flee from my Lukara, P'Takh!", he said in a loud, authoritative voice as he advanced on them. He held the weapon up in what he thought was the correct "at rest but ready to fight"-position.
To call Peter Jensen a master of the Bat'leth would be a truth with so many modifications that one would have to classify it as untrue. His sole experience with the weapon had been in simulations he'd run by himself, beginners' scenarios. He wasn't ashamed of that. It was, truth be told, a clumsy weapon, at least in human hands. But right now, he did not care.
Taking advantage of the momentary confusion on the enemies' part, he charged forward and swung at the one of the two assailants who was closest to him.
If he had imagined a swift death blow so they could 2-v-1 the remaining attacker, he had another thing coming. The attacker snapped out of surprise and dodged his blow, leaving Peter stumbling forward next to Art, and would have slammed his face against the wall if he hadn't held up the upper part of his arm to brace the blow.
He immediately spun around and held teh weapon back up. Looking at her with...that specific look in his eye. A mix between mischief and mirth.
"Do you come here often?", he grinned, using the standard pickup line, which is used across the galaxy's bars in various forms and with various degrees of success.
Then he dodged a blow from the assailant he'd attacked, and quickly followed up by landing an uppercut, and then used the Bat'leth to slid the attacker's throat.
Though, to be fair, that was more a matter of luck as he had just swung the pointed end towards the man's throat and been lucky.
As the second-to-last attacker clutched his throat andf dropped, gurgling, this was the point where he saw her face. She was bleeding too. He made a mental note of asking her just what the fiddlestick she thought she was doing, disabling the safety mechanisms, but that would have to wait. He looked around for the second guy, and couldn't quite find him....
