The Same Old Story Helga/Frieda/Rourke Frieda catches Helga sneaking in after getting into yet another fight  after school.  After a short debate, she tells Helga to clean up since they have a guest coming for dinner.  Rourke arrives and seeing Helga throwing knives in the backyard, offers her some pointers.

 

Demonstration
(Messages 1154-64)		 Chris/Helga Christopher Jenkins picks a new recruit, Helga Sinclair, to give a demonstration on hand-to-hand combat techniques to the rest of the ranks.  The two of them go on for almost two hours, neither one willing to succomb until the Sergeant breaks it up.  Chris offers to buy Helga a drink and she finally agrees, but only if he lets her pay.  The talk for a little and Helga learns that Jenkins trained under Rourke and was one of the two other people to beat him at chess and unarmed combat..  As he's leaving, Chris calls her 'kido' again to which Helga threatens bodily harm if he keeps using that term.
Pass Time
(Message # 1165)		 Chris/Helga Helga stumble across Chris hitting baseballs by himself.  He criticizes her for not having enough of a sense of fun and she criticizes him for not taking their position seriously enough.
