Nailah is in the Danger Room, wearing her full hero outfit. She's loaded up what's essentially three tennis ball throwers some distance away from her. Facing away from them she takes a couple deep breaths.
"Start program. Ten minutes to start." The computer dings in response and only a couple seconds later the first tennis-ball fires. Nailah tilts her body to the side and dodges it. What follows is a series of balls fired at seemingly random intervals from one of the machines as she ducks and weaves out of the way. After about three minutes of this the computer seems to start trying to fake her out, shooting two balls in rapid succession, making the firing sound without actually firing, then following it up with one launched in complete silence. She takes a couple hits, most of them just grazing, but soon the program seems to have narrowed in even more, catching her in the middle of a breath or when her footing shifts a little and she doesn't have the right traction to move fast enough. And soon the room has dialed in on the way she moves and balls are being fired to where she's going to be, at which point she starts taking hits at a steady pace, which only puts her off her game more, followed by being hit by more shots. The last minute or so has her basically just dodging from one hit into the next, wincing and stumbling until the program concludes with a merciful ding.
"Restart the program in five to ten minutes, random timing."
