Dr. Joilee Reyna James

July 17, 2459, C E

Shortly after discovering the energy source inside a temple structure, I encountered an indigenous humanoid race. The natives share biological similarities to humans except for a few physiological differences. Their facial structure is more defined with sharper features, the eyes and ears are larger. Their noses are elongated and flat like a lion, except they have a rigid structure at the bridge of their noses. Their ears are also larger and pointed. Their hair is decorated with tribal trinkets. The clothes are red and white as they were proud to wear them. Most of their bodies were covered with tribal tattoos that look similar to mantra designs.

After a day of rest, Joilee found herself inside a jail-like prison. She still had her Palmer that was hoisted on her hip. She took out her Palmer to perform a sonar scan of the cell. She hoped she could find a hallowed spot within the walls to escape. She found nothing but pictograms etched in the wall. As she observed the artwork, a humanoid child figure came to her cell to retrieve her.

Joilee extendeds her hand in a friendly gesture. The child humanoid mimicks Joilee and extended his hand. Joilee quickly grabs his wrist and pricked his hand for a blood sample with the Palmer's syringe. The syringe transmitted data to the Palmer which gave information about the alien's blood. It appears that the native race and humans share 85% of DNA in the double helix structure. Joilee found the reading fascinating.

The humanoid pushed Joilee against the wall. He quickly pummels her; however, it does not affect Joilee. Joilee snickered as she thought it was cute, as the young alien punches were light as a feather. Suddenly an adult humanoid yelled something in his native language. The male humanoid ran out of the cell.

Two guards grabbed Joilee by both arms and escorted her out of prison.

"Where are you taking me?"

Joilee was led through a large door. The darkness from the hall did not help her sight going outside to the blinding light.

The guards escort her into the middle of the arena and aggressively toss her onto the ground. Joilee got up and dusted herself off. She looked around and observed that she was now standing in an arena-like structure.

They are using her as a gladiator for their amusement. They are planning on Joilee fighting in an arena in a trial by combat. Joilee knew she had to rely on her training in CQC and Marv Krav to see her through.

More natives were gathered to see Joilee. The crowd cheered loudly as the chief of the tribe walked into the arena. His seat had the highest view. His servants were allowed to enter his private area. He wore a feather Mayan plumed feather hat, and Mayan waistcloth, and tribal tattoos. His name was Mantiko.

Mantiko said a few words in his native tongue to boost the morale of his tribe. The crowd cheered before taking a seat. Joilee was pushed into the middle of the arena by one of the tall warriors.

"What is going on?"Joilee asked with confusion and fear. Suddenly a gate opened, and a female warrior walked out with a carved stone dagger in her hand.

Joilee stood alert in her fight stance of Mag Krav and waited for her opponent to attack. Joilee pleaded with the female gladiator; however, the language barrier was not allowing her to be heard. The female warrior taunted Joilee to attack, but Joilee remained the nonaggressor. Finally, after failed attempt to get Joilee to strike, the female warrior decided to go on a primitive strike. The gladiator attacks, but Joilee evades while begging for a peaceful solution.
