Welcome to the future [open]
Injuries hardly ever stopped Samus Aran. As long as she could walk, she would train. This time was no exception, and the bandaged scratches and gashes underneath her plantsuit would just have to demand her attention some other time.
Still, she did take it a little easy, even if it wasn't obvious. Samus decided to forgo the stresses of her heavy armor, opting to practice armed only with her gun and her fists in combat situations. Generic enemies attacked from all sides, increasing in difficulty each time she took down another with a combination of acrobatic moves, tricks with a laser gun that doubled as a grapple beam, and straight up hand to hand combat. It went on for a good while until finally one laid a hand on her.
The simulation halted suddenly at the apparent hit. Samus glanced over at a display, which totaled how many foes she had taken down before what would have been the first hit an enemy got on her in the session. She pursed her lips unhappily. It was less than her total would have been in suit. It was always less than her total in suit. Try as she might, she could never match the firepower she had with her armor.
Gun. Maybe a different one could help. She waved away the current simulation and brought up another. The Sensoriums looked not unlike the rows of weapons in the armory. Samus scanned over a few, looking for something that might give her an edge. She reached for one that looked out of place: a long, thin pole. As soon as she held it in her hands, though, red laser planes sprung from the end. It was an axe with laser blades.
This might work.

She sheepishly scratched her cheek with bent index. A compliment from a real genuine female warrior. Astrid was relieved she hadn't embarrassed herself with her inexperience in the simulation.
Then came the questions.
"How did you obtain this piece of work? Who's your blacksmith? What are the secrets behind it?"
There might be a sliiight hopeful smile peeking at the corner of her lips. "I-I wouldn't mind something similar. If possible. Aah... because it looks really handy."
And really cool.

Well, she was being honest. Not wanting to seem like she was dashing Astrid's hopes of moving forward into the future, she added, "But that isn't to say that we can't find something for you. You'd have to see if someone in engineering could help you."

"Understandable," she nodded, cupping her chin. "I know of a fairly talented blacksmith, so I might pass on some ideas at the very least." In fact, Astrid can probably expect something for herself in the near future akin to a lot of the technology here once Hiccup gets down to his forge business.
She thumbed towards the laser axe. "Like that for example. Then I'll do what I can to get even better."
At any rate, it seems they're finished here. She guessed she should leave Samus to her duties...
