EVENTS #2

Pulling in to the stadium, the busses doors opened as The hermes team got out of the bus. some folks jeered them, other folks waved Pics of a boxed action figure for them to sign.

Walker and Post headed into the locker rooms to get boards set up to review games plans and check to see how long it would take for trainers to get ready for taping.

EVENTS #2

there were 4 Kids, they were rather scrubby lookign, torn clothes, on hed a welt on her face.

the looked between the ages or 14 and 10.. 1 girl 3 boys , as the Hermes peopel Waves Jax and Nifty saw kids, and the Everest Guards pushing them away from the ropes that lead to the tunnel, into the stadium.

LC!... jack shouted and pointed to the 4 kids... they looked sad, and imploring at teh Everest SEC, as they tried to get to the Ropes... the troopers merely pushed them back with their weapons.

Shadow finished signing a program and sighed , walking to the Guards, With Shade next to him. Nifty and Jax made thier way over as well.

Alright trooper? What are you doing to thsoe Kids?

The Everest SEC SGT Looked at Shadow who had his flight jacket on, but just a Te shirt and jeans.

..these Stem Rats.. they have Been trying to get to see you folks since they heard this is where The Hermes team was coming.. seem to think you are Heroes or something...

The Kids Looked at Shadow... Shade was easy to tell who he was..

so?..not having Creds mean they can't watch us? can't ask for an Autograph?

..Look, Ace...

Jax Laughed and looked at the SGT...Funny you should use that Word... This is LC SHadow of the ESN 351 Hermes... he's sorta know as an Ace...

The SGT looked at Shadow, and seemed a bit nervous...

Shadow pointed to the 4 Kids.....You 4,,come with us.. you stay with these two troopers...They used to be 'Stem Rats"

the One Private didn't seem to get the message as ..Trooper.. I'm Game ready about now... do you want me to see how far down your throught I can Jam that rifle, before i pull the trigger?Shadow said...

The Private glowered at him,we have here of you .. you..you treat these types as if they were worth something..no?

Jax as been on More Jump Offs then you have been in parades. He founded a Vampic Admiral face to face with only a Popper in his had.... Nifty has been droppign bad guys since we first met him..now he does it in uniform....

..but we could do worse?.. we could have People like you in the Fleet,,now, let them through, its not an order? I'm not in uniform..but its a powerful suggestion if you don't want to be in Med tech when the game starts...

The private steps aside.. the littlest Boy.. steps on his foot as he walks by...

Walker is storming back ...WTF is going on , LC!

they wouldn't let these kids in... were pushing them around with thier weapons... so? I'm bringing them in...

The SGT says,you can't do that.... they don't have passes or tickets, and the tickets are sold out!

Walker looks at Shadow who sorta stared right through the SGT... he's right....

..how many sideline passes do we have...

..6... CE-VA has one...

then these kids get 4 or the lst 5...

The SGT looked Shocked, Walker Nodded and the group went towards the tunnel...

when we go out to warm up, I want teh trainers to get these gets showered and clean... Send out one of them to get clothes for them..jeans , socks , sneakers and dark colored shirts, and a hoodie for each.. when the food comes in.. they get to eat too.. and when the game starts i want them on the sidelines with those passes around thier necks for every damn body to see..

Jax looked at the Oldest,..you have a Gang? a Family? The oldest was a boy she shook his head,..we are grabbers?... other gangs pay us a couple creds to steal stuff..., but no one wants us.., we sorta got together to stay alive, digging through stuff on the beach for food, getting clothes people left behind...

Niftly shok his ehad and looked away, his eyes watered a bit.

..we'll get you on a ship, somewhere.. maybe even an Agro ship, or a med tech ship?, but for right now, you guys are getting cleaned up, fed and get to watch the game from teh sidleines

Zob gave a few waves into the crowd but for the most part this was Shadows whole deal and he was just along for the ride, after the exchange with Everest SEC he followed behind Nifty as they made there way down the tunnels to the locker room area, "Smile in knowing they will get a better life moving forward" he said reassuring Nifty.

the Kids were brought into the front of the lockers Jax looked as Bummed out as Nifty.

Shadow crouched in Front o of the Four Kids.....now look=..you guys have to tell me the truth her..right..because its gonna make a big difference..Now? do any of you have family here?

all four kids shook thier head no, He looks at the way the are dressed and the Bruise on the girl's face....no one to take care of you?

they shook thier ehads no.

..who hit you?

The Girl looked scared the older Boy said, SEC.. she was too close to a food stand we we walked up to the uppers.. they don't like kids like us there.. we were trying to get to the water to swim and wash up?.. and they chased us away

Shadow looked at the ground and shook his head, then looked up...well? things are gonna change for you... You are gonna go to a med tech ship.. they'll tsake care of you
until there is a ship that has Civies that can take you... I'll recommend they get you all on the same ship...

he looks at the worry on thier faces...Jax came from Etna, with a few of his gang kids?.. Nifty came from Olympus..but? before you leave for the Med tech ship.. you guys are goign to get real showers here, when we hit the field, the Med tech and trainers will help you out..you'll get new clothes and some goodies, and you'll eat pregame meal with us.... After the Came, you'll come to our Hotel where you'll be safe until a shuttle comes for you... Right?

They all nodded , the Oldest one says ...why are you doing this?

Because I can..because it needs done.. i can kill a million bad guys, but what does it matter if i don't help human kids?

One of the med tech came over, a trainer had a box with 4 sports drinks in and some packets of crackers..

..these will give you something to nibble on until the team hits the field for warm ups, then we'll get you showered and fresh clothes.

ok.. we;re goign to be goign out on the field to warmup... Jax> Nifty?..no one takes them out of here unless it clears me..right?

..you Bet , LC... Shadow left, another trainer wrote down sized that he scanned the kids for and took off for the closest store

the kids looked at the drinks and the packs of crackers the smallest boy asked,how much can we eat?

The trainer and medtech looked at the kids as if they were waitign permission.

yes.. drink it all eat them all, they are yours.. you will have real food in about 40 minutes...

the kids sat down on a benche near the door and tore open the crackers and began to gobble them, the little gril looked up at the Med tech and Smiled.

there was a Knock at the locker room door , Jax stepped over and opened it.. a Everest LT was there.....you have 4 orphans?..we want to take them into custody..

..No sir...

what!..Trooper..I am an Officer witht eh Everest SEC..

Jax Took out his COM.. COMed Roy...SM? this is Jax... Nifty and Me are guarding 4 Stem kids, the LC got passes to be on the sidlines..Kids are in rough shape..on has a black eye from Everest SEC.I have a LT here who wants to take them....LC says they are staying with us until a Med tech shuttle comes to take them for child relocation...I'll let you talk to the Nice LT...

he held out the COM with a hard stare...SM Spencer, waiting on your pleasure...sir...

The LT took the COM....look here? Spencer is it?...

SM, Spencer of the ESN 351 Hermes... nifty says..

he glares at the two , who more or less pushed him out into the passage..

..your troopers are out of line... I want those kids, and i want these troopers on report!

In reply to stadium (msg # 2):

Melia enters waving to the assembled crowd as she walks, slipping through the gates and over to the betting booths. "Hey I wanna place a couple bets on the game. What are the odds on the Hermes team winning and what odds are you giving on the rookie halfback, Kristensen, from the Hermes grabbing the first rushing touch down of the game?" She says with an easy grin. She had to move quick to meet everyone down below in the locker rooms.

The Booth guy didn't have a clue who she was...

odds are Everest by 10

Bets on Everest are even money

Hermes to cover? 2 to one

Hermes to win 5 to one

He shifted through the sheets...

Hermes coach didn't send a full roster in, they got a waiver since Hermes lost so many people.. looks like we aren't carrying anything like that?

There is even money on Pascal being MVP by Voting..even one on him..

<<on the field

The teams each ha d Half the Field , the coaches were on the 50 talkign with Reps, they seemed more or less on Good Terams.

CE-Va was runnign around like a woman possessed, getting shots of the Hermes folks warming up and some shots of the Everest people Shadow snagged a ball and stopped near hear.. the fans were comign in early, the Everest side was 1/2 full a few Hermes and Detla folks were dribbling.

The Booth Guy called down to CE-VA for a sound and Vid check, and she pointed at Shadow.. he waved down with a Nod.

with the rest of the hermites behind him Shadow Taled to CE-VA and his image was on the screens.

..LC Shadow?... you have heard these last few days , how Everest should beat you handily this game.... I know you have your own thoughts?

Shadow smiled his half smile,Well. CE-VA?... I'm sure the Everet team could tell you who they beat us Last time?..oh? wait? they didn't!.. we crushed them....

the Everest fans who were there lookign at the screens Booed and swore...

..I would really, like to say we can be the same team we were last time?.. that would be Lie. We lost, Good ball players, who were great warriors, and they died fighting the Empire...

his hand Motioned to the Everest side of the field, half of the players stopped what they were doing and Watched.....meanwhile.. Their team lived up to its Name...

..The Mountains?

no..... EVER.... REST! CE-VA's Mouth opened as she saw how he lead her into that..right on the scorboard...

The pplayer s were shouting fans were screaming and Shadow Just laughed as he went in line to catch more footballs.

Melia grinned, "well you'll know the name soon enough after the game. I hear tell they're gonna run rings around the defense. Tough as nails and elusive to boot. Put me down for 4500 on Hermes winning since you don't have roster bets. I'll be back to pick up my winnings after the post game. she holds out her wrist to be scanned.

Then it was down to the locker room and suited up for the warmup.

While Shadow interviewed she stuck with the backs running a few routes common for the HB as well as doing some hand off drills and the like keeping it easy but ensuring she was properly warmed up and ready to perform.

Shade had a Pass go over his ehad and he cahsed the Ball Down near the 50..The frencman Coach Ollar Macaa pointed at Shade,

..how is it your programmed that thing to Play?... You know.. you may only have live organisms play, qui? he and his asst laughed.

Walker did not looked Please at the jest Post looked to Shade as the Shade ripped off a string of sounds , his red eyes showing and then Stomped away....

they Laughed again,what did the popcorn machine say....

Post said,we don't know..off hand i would say he called you a dumbass..but that's just a guess.. Shadow ha d run a route with Machins trying to defend against him, but he caught the Ball.. he looked at the two frenchies and said,I couldn't catch it all... but he either said yiou have the ... you know..lower parts of a woman... or you ARE..the lower parts of a woman.. that's my fault, I let him hang around the assault teams too much...

Walker looked at the men's waists.. smiled and turned away to gather his team.. Post Just grinned...

................

Supe was showing the rookie DBs how to use a 'one arm shiver ' to redirect a reciver.....look?... they are coming after anyone in the secondary.. its our weak spot as far as experiance.. and thier recivers and QB are thier strong Points... However... pascal likes to move, he doesn't like to be hit.... so? what you dow, is hit the reciver on his Ouside shoulder,, it will either slow him down, or turn him away from the route that he had planned....

he showed Billie and the other DMs the quick trick with Dana and him walkign through.

Post reached them by then and added,.. they have a decent O-line...and a good D-line..but in the end?.. no one on that team likes to be hit...

Mackins Laughed,I'm not crazy about it Chief!

people Laughed , Post Glared and Shadow said.....nothign better then comeing acorss the Middle grabbing the ball and getting almmed like a Mantis hit you on take off.... you stand up, Grin at the guy that hit you and toss the ball to the ref.... Dana? there is One thing Better then that, right

Dana smiled,Sure is... when we have a running play to my side, and I catch the guy who hit me with a Blindside block...Changes the whole game for them..instead of having you worried about who is goign to hit you,,,they are wondering if you are goign to hit them...and?/ you do..you hit them on every play..

Post had a dark grin,Pascal like to roll and throw, which means? he's out of the pocket... take very,,,,damn..hit.. you can at him.. I would like him finished by half time.. those coaches?.. theya re new.. they fired the last tow?.. WTF do frenchie snow about American football... so... hit to hurt... let themgrab thier sides or backs wonderign what hit them... and we can see what they are made of the 2nd half.

Zob gave a big toothy grin, "it will be my pleasure to end them coach" he watched several of the film's on Everest last night with Melia so hoping it will give him a decent understanding of what to look out for.

Then Zob went back to warming up he looked absolutely menacing people were gonna get hurt bad this game.

Roy's voice was downright testy over the comm. "I'm gonna make this REALLY simple for you, Lieutenant. Unless someone's been pulling strings without telling me, you aren't assigned to the Hermes locker area...those troopers are, and you are not part of the Hermes crew. Those troopers are following orders, from so far above your pay grade that you'd get a nose bleed contemplating the difference in rank. Go ahead and try to take the kids, if you're feeling stupid...whatever those two leave intact is going to suffer through an ungodly sh*tstorm of an aftermath and if you're lucky, you'll be filling in old latrines on a Delta colony. Or, you can activate that vestigial growth that's bouncing around inside your cranium and walk away before anything official happens and winds up on your record. Is what I said in ANY WAY unclear, Lieutenant?"

Jax did not hide ( what he thought was) a Shadow-like smile. Nifty grinned.

I..i... I will take this Up the my Captaain ..Good day...

..Thanks SM.. those kids need a break... he signed off.

Nifty called Out, he had a toothpick in a tooth that he was chewing as he held his rifle...

Hey!..LT?... you ever been poor... I mean..not a gods be damned cred to your name? and you have rags that you have to wear into the surf to wash?... you hide in pipes so Gangers don't get you.. they like little kids... and kids fetch alot of creds on the slaver market..and who no one will miss right... he starts walking towards the LT..his voice getting louder...

..RIGHT...? As stem kid getting eaten by a demon ain't much differant then one being eaten by a stem rat.. the kids still scream,, they are still scared,, and they still cry... they cry for a Mom who is there, or a dad they never met.. and finally.. they cry for thier friends ... but..it done.. if they are lucky..it was fast..but we know demons don't like thier desserts dead..right...

..you are pushing your luck? No?

Tell you what, LT?.. you take those bars off and we'll go a bit deeper into the tunnel...in a short few minutes, I'll be comign abck out... and people will be wondering how you died like that...

Jax called Nifty back.. the LT was a little concerned as he watched them.. and he went to his men and began his COM call to Everest SEC

The Limo pulled up to the main r=entrance of the stadium.. The board, Wil and others Like Beth and Lyri got out, Shoey and Nagy were dressed in civies..Lyri gave them casual hand signals that sent them off through the gates

they we escorted to the ramp that lead up to the club level of the stadium , so they could reach the owners Box without too much hassle.

St Gual was in her Unifrom and she frowned at the way the hermes folks were dressed...Ok St Gaul?.. don';t start about the way we are dressed.. we came to enjoy a football game, not puff out our chests

Admiral St Gaul didn't know what to say , except to sweep her arms towards the food and drinks.

..your LC..he is starting with the mouth badding?.. and..his offspring is playing?.. you must have lost many people?.. we would have played the Athena and Let your team Play the Lowers team..

Hack smiled as he looked to the field, the arms up were done and they were going in..

Hennings nodded,..yes, poor Shade, he only has one game under his belt.

The sat and eat on the bench by the door, but the caoches told them to come sit every one esle..

The Girl with the hurt eye said,..this is more food then we have seen =in our life!

The older Boy smiled, he ate a bit more slowly then the young ones who gobbled like they never saw food before..nice and clean.. a shot or two for some things the med tech found, new clothes and hot food.

Jax and Nifty were told to eat as well..but they sat on the bench by the door sine they were 'on guard'

The coaches set up the Kick cover teams.. Billie, machins and melia would be one them

they went over where Tucker was to kick the ball.. and how they had to stay in thier lanes to make sure there wasn't a big return

The stem kids watched and took everything in , eating drinking and listening, the younger ones had water eyes, as they couldn't believe these people were treating them so nice.

Roy's tone was a bit acerbic as he commented, "I hear you still have that wonderfully nuanced approach to dealing with stem kids trying to scavenge a living..." He had hoped, after their last visit, that the elitism that seemed to be part of Everest's foundation might have been shaken up a bit, but the experience so far was not impressing him...

St Gaul looked at Roy, as if she was shocked,Mon SM?... It is their lot in life, is it not? We cannot take charge of every waif that is left on out doorstep...

captain Si looked at Roy was she poured some french tea.. the aroma filling the Box.Tell me, Admiral St Gaul... people who lost thier parents, because SEC failed to stop thier deaths or capture... what are they to do?... children who did not ask to be in this world, left to die because of parents who did not care?.... what are they to do? We have Stem Kids on The Hermes, and we have a few kids we recused for being meals... how is it, that a Station that spends money like water, cannot have a system set up for the children...

St Gauk looked a bit embarrassed,..but what good will they be? Will they be of anyuse? They are Stem children? guttersnipes..

Will was eating what looked like beef and noodles with some cut potatoes,..I could rattle off a few names, of guttersnipes, that are worth more then Pampered Pansies...

Captain LaQua looked shocked at Will and was about to say something when he saw the EMH... he did not say anything.

Beth had a multicolored mixed drink, Lyri was nursing a beer. Lyri gave a side look to Harry as she saw the reaction of the French Captain to the Medal.

Hennings and BAle were watching, Vids of Player's faces and an action shot of the Everest time were showing on the screens.

In the locker rooms the team and the 'sideline Guests ' had finished eating. they kids sat back away from the center of the locker room and the players finished putting on thier pads and jerseys.. D-Lineman taped down thier jersey's on thier pads using double sided carpet tape.

Shadow wrapped extra taape over his shoes to cover the laces , but not interfere with the cleats .

A knock at the door and the Ref poked his ehad in.. a ref from 'The Green Death' to be impartial.10 minutes , Hermes, they are showing team Vids and starting Line up... don't be late...

Walker motioned with his hand to Tucker, who gave him his helmet... ESN Blue with the Hermes foot decal on the sides 351 under the foot.

Walker holds the smooth , clean helmet up for everyone to see.....Football Helmet.. Right?... Like Millions of others..they only Vary by 3 things? The color.... The insignia and what esle?

Keefer ,One of the O-line says...Facemask!

Giveins , one of the other O-line Elbowed him..

Walker made a twisted lipped smile at him, some people chuckled..

The people who wear it.... and, that is the biggest difference ....It feeds on itself?... You put this ehad gear on... you are wearing the Colors of the Hermes... the insignia of the Hermes, and The Hermes is proud...but she is at a disadvantage?.. she cannot help you out there on the Field.. she, like everyone else, without this helmet? can only watch...hope...cheer...

There are lot of people out there, That would like to see us lose? Whether its because they bet against us... they are chasing us in the standings, or they flat out don't like us...We..can change that.... what advantage do they have?... fresh players..players who have not lose comrades.... and experiance....

we have... first time players?... we are all coming off almost 2 weeks of getting beat up, some down time, and getting beat up again... while those folks across the filed ate french bread, drank german beer and watch the Vids.... LC?.. anything to add.

he hands the Helmet back to Tucker who looked at it a bit differant.

If anyone in this room, things we're going to walk all over them? I like that?..but its unrealistic...we'll have to fight for every damn yard... fight to stop them fron getting thier yards... and every score could be the last one.....

...Miller?...

..Do Your Jobs.... don't worry about any one else's job..and we Got this...

Knock at the door..Time , Hermes!

anything else?

..don['t treat this as a fooball game.... This is a street fight... hit anyone in a Lgith blue jersey that you can hit Legally... stretch them out..DON'T..help them up..make they use thier energy...make them get mad.. make them thing about anything , but thier jobs.... But most of all..JACK...THEM..UP!

the Door Opened to the field.. Supe pulled on his helmet to lead the team out.. he ran through the doors yelling.....f*ck THEM ALL UP!!!!!

machins grinned and followed..what he said!!

Jax and Nifty walked witht he 4 kids who had the sideline passed aroudn thier necks.. clean, jeans and T-shirts, some wore thier hoodies.. some had the hoodie around thier waists..

Roy gave St. Gaul a measured look. "I would have thought that any command officer would understand that you get out of your people what you put into them. Two of my most reliable Sec troopers were Stem kids. One of them saved Admiral Hack's life. They're people, like anyone else...the ones that survive have great reflexes and sharp waits, and after a few months in the Stem, they're better survivors than some stuffed shirt with two decades of life." His tone wasn't angry...if anything, it was disappointed, in an almost paternal fashion.

"Maybe you've had it too easy for too long, here...but out on the lines, we don't waste potential resources. Those Stem kids could potentially be the captains and admirals of the ESN in another fifty years...if someone's smart enough to not keep 'em stuffed away in the Stem."

His comm went off, and he listened to the explanation, then shook his head. "This is the second time today I've had to explain something to your people," he said archly to St. Gaul. He keyed his comm.

"You mean to tell me that there's a soon-to-be-Corporal standing there telling you that a Hermes crew member is not allowed to engage in a perfectly legal shoreleave activity?" he asked. "Larry IS in uniform, I hope? With his rank clearly visible? What regulation is this lieutenant calling on to stop a uniformed crew member from attending the game? Maybe he'd like to come up to Admiral St. Gaul's box and explain his rationale to me...and Admiral Hack...and the ESN Board. Or he can get out of the way and let Larry into the game."

Stepping out of the limousine Harry would wait for Will to get out and join her, making it very clear by the way that she stood that she had no intention of posing for the cameras, leaving that to the prettier girls in the entourage. Instead she would take Will’s hand with a fond smile and after giving him a quick kiss on the cheek would follow him into StGaul’s private box.

They hadn’t been there long before the French admiral started to rub everyone up the wrong way with her opinions on stem kids and how they should be treated, with Harry quietly adding to Will’s comment ”Some of us still are guttersnipes” chuckling darkly as she settled herself down next to Will with a plate of food and a cup of tea.

The teams were on the field, the ESN song , followed by the Everest song, and finally the APF song were played..

The captains went out.. Supe, Miller and Shadow...Pascal, Nivit and a Sanri # 77 Higgst

the hermes crowd becane to roar, while the Everest side gasped and screamed in shock...

CE-VA's Camera caught Sneak and Haley with Roll holding a thin leash for an almost 8 footlong Larg...

Hley waved to a Guy in the stands after seeing the other kids there, the hawker gave Sneak 6 basball 'Hermes football" hats that she scanned for.. and handed one to each of the 4 kids as well as Roll and Haley, then slipped on on herself.

The little gril smiled at her and Sneak said over the cheers for LArry.....I am one of you... you'll be fine now... the little girl hugged Sneak and stayed by herside.

....................

the refs introduced the captains to each other..Miller made the Call..it was heads... she said..we want the Ball....

the Everest team took the north endzone, but it wouldn't matter isdie the station unless it rained.

They started to Shake hands, the Sanri said to Shadow,..it is a shame i won't be able to hit you....

Shadow Pointed to teh sidelines and asked Zob to take off his helmet, letting his 'nextgen' demon looks be seen...yeah? Damn shame, its been a few weeks since i knocked out a Sanri?..but that Nice man there?.. you guys have to Block him...

Pascal looked shocked..we did not see him on the films?

..you we'ren't looking..he played the last game, we sent you the last game films..so..'surprize! "

Then he got a real serious look on his face,..Gentlemen ... mr Officals.... i will apologize now, for what may seem to be over violent Hits?.. we just came off two weeks or so , of killing people..so the team might be a bit jacked up..

Pascal says with sarcasim.....es that your way of saying you might 'accidently ' hit people too hard?

Shadow laughed,oh no no no, Frenchie?.. when I hit.. it will be on purpose...

Supe snarled,gonna be a long and painful game for you, croissant boy!

Miller started to turn and she Looks at Pascal,..if they bring me down... its a sack..right?

everyone else nodded.

so?.. if you get sacked ... do we call it a Baguette ?

walking back tothier sidelines larry launched himself forward and bee-lined to Shadow.. the beastie stopped just sort standing on his back 4 legs and 'huuged Shadow Shadow warpped hsi arms ( mostly) around the larg and Lifted him off the ground a foot.. causing Fams to..at first Gasp.. and then cheer .. Shadow waved to Zob... Larry thumping his tail like a Humming bird...

Hennings laughed,..Those three kids that just came in? Two of them are Stem kids..one was on her way to be a locality meal...

Hack, seemingly in his own world right now said,we get the Ball First... any bets?

Captain LaQue says,<DarkBlue>I have a ship, at the docks , in the Uppers...

at That Moment Captain Messe entered , giving quick salutes to her 'flag captain' and the Admirals around her.. she went straight to Roy Hugging his tightly as she said,its has been so long!.. I am glad to find you well!

she slipped a mini disc into his hand that was blco*ked by thier hug.

Beth was watching as she ate a sandwich on the upper tier by the bar, her leg bouncing as she smiled and Gave Roy the raising eyebgrows and sneaky grin.

Lyri faked fanning herself , at the display of affection./

Roy's look of discomfort didn't need to be feigned, but he used the awkward moment to tuck his hands in his pockets (and thus, further hide the disk) before shrugging with an apologetic grin. "Sorry, Captain...I'm not used to hugs...and definitely not from officers. Usually, when an officer wants to see me, it's because someone's ass needs kicking...occasionally, it's mine..." He chuckled, ignoring Lyri and Beth for the moment. The enthusiastic greeting may or may not have been sincere...but it gave Messe a great cover to pass along information.

He slipped his arm around Messe's waist as he turned to look at the Captain. "Are you putting your ship up as a wager, Captain?" he asked. "I mean, we have lost a few in battle, but if you're betting it, I'll take a piece of that action...like I said, we utilize any resource..."

In reply to COMS (msg # 14):

Orria had waited in the locker room near the other stem kids, and watched the practice from the sidelines hanging out. She mostly watched Shade, but also glanced at the stem kids from time to time. She'd been on the near side of being one of them, if she'd escaped from her captors years ago, but then Shadow, Dr. Christie, and Melia had rescued her and the other kids.

Melia lined up for kick cover team warm up, glad she'd watched some of the vids in the archive on covering kick returns.

Once done she grabbed a quick bite keeping it light, and healthy sticking to protein and carbs that would give her body fuel for the game.

She lined up with the team for the run out. Placing her helmet on. It was lighter and breathed easier than the combat helmets, plus gave her a better field of view. When the time came she ran out on the field hopping and bouncing a little pounding her fists on her chest pads. Waving her arms up in the air at the crowd.

Orria walked along the sideline with the guards and kids cheering for Melia, Zob, and Shade, and the rest of the Hermes team.

Melia got herself all taped up and ready, she opted against turf sleeves leaving the vicious bright yellow and black scars on her arms showing for the world to see, she grinned as she pulled off her helmet as the kickoff and other things were decided, her hair was tightly braided in a way that she used for her combat helmet as well. It kept the hair up and back with out interfering with the pads or straps. Her red eyes flashed across the field ready for action. She'd not been tapped for kick returns or informed of it so she waited until the offense took the field.

Looking at some of the new folks,..Shadow;s going to to call for Dana to get out of the way of the ball, to look like he wants to return it..Dana is going to run to the other side of the formation as Shadow picks it up,,, when the defender close on him, he tosses it across the field to dana

Zob, Shade?.. you have to fake missing your Blocks to get to the other side,, if Shadow gets Dana the Ball.. she should go a long wahy, if you can cut down the Kicker and the contain man...Go!

Hermes fans looked Shocked... Everest fans nodded thier head as 'it figures"..

Shadow Barely caught the Ball that Dana could have had easily, and she ran away , to the other side if the Filed as Shadow tucked the Ball and turned up field,...

Everest.. eager to Hit Shadow came Pouring In as they got around the 'slow blockers' in the Middle...

trapped on the sidelines with Only Slate in front. Shadow was dead... Until he stopped Set Up like he was in the pocket and let the ball go across the field..

Shadow never saw Dana catch it As he was Buried By 3 Players who hit him and other one Jumped on Late.... but he heard the roar of the Hermes Crowd as Dana took off up the sidelines...

Just as Walker scouted the Kicker and contain man stayed Home.. the Contain man was the closest and Shade , just ran into him shoudler First, Both of them a Ball of white jersey and Light Blue jersey.. Dana didn't mess around, she was goign full speed up the sidelines, Ball tucked in the outside Arm... Zob would either make the Block..or Not.. but she would get every yard out of this she could....

Si , Hack and Bale tilted thier heads.... St Gaul shook her team.....he is too ...full of himself, is he not He....

Shadow stopped and fired the Ball across the field.. The crowed on the Hermes side Gasped.. then cheered as Dana, who was about 4 uards deeper then Shadow , caught the ball and sprinted up the sidelines..

Tucker was next to him...Ok? LC..i can see them takign thier time when the clock's runnign, burn some clock?... but why now? the clock is stopped...

He points to the sidlines as Billie was pushed onto the field.....Thier Coach is callign the plays. There is a good chance Pascal has the option to chance things up.. Walker sends plays in to Miller, but Miller is in charge, if she don't like walker's play, she is goign to run it..because of that? Walker can tell her where to attack and she comes up with a play.

Billie entered the game doing as the coach told her with regard to instructions to the other players. She was a bit nervous since she had just gotten used to special teams but remembering what she had been told, on the snap she gave the receiver extra room, determined that she wouldn’t give up any deep passes.

Nikki stayed near Sneak and the kids as well as Larry. She watched the kids and Sneak with attention, making sure noone bugged them as they had fun. She made sure even the littlest one had a good view. When they'd ask a question she would answer it if she could. She'd help them cheer for Hermes (or even Everest if they liked). She'd help them have fun.

Roy shook his head softly, declining the offer. "The only hard liquor I drink is vodka...and only for two occasions, at that," he explained. In his career field, he'd seen a lot of good men ruined by relying on liquor to help them wind down when they weren't in the field...which eventually led to them needing the liquor when they were in the field, which led to their careers ending in an ignominious display.

He looked over at Admiral Hack. "You suppose it's too late to get some money on the game?" he asked. He didn't generally gamble...but he could afford to venture some money. And betting on the Hermes had never failed him. Quite the opposite...

Karl got to the stadium late...but headed straight for the betting windows. "Too late to put some money down on the game? And is there a maximum bet size?" he asked. He didn't often pay much attention to his account balance...it slowly went up over time, but usually, he was pretty close to equilibrium in what he spent versus what he earned, even with paying the premium price to get the better food on the rec deck or at the O-club instead of the cheaper fare that was more readily available.

But he'd just been paid. And he remembered the last trip to Everest...and he was still kicking himself for not putting money down on that game. It was not a mistake he intended to repeat.

"Five Thousand, on the Hermes to win." Half the team, he was used to covering in action...the other half kept the skies clear for him to do it (he knew it wasn't that simple, but knowing their quality, he had no reservations about the civies on the squad with the military people he knew).

"I'd say I'm sorry I'll be taking your money...but I'm not." He gave a shark-like smile as his chip was scanned for the bet, and he went to find his seat.

Roy snorted softly as the play unfolded. "Well, sh*t...I better make that call quick before they change the odds..." He stepped over, picking up the handset.

"Yes, this is Sergeant Major Spencer. I want to put five thousand on the Hermes...unless you'll take a larger bet..." With it being a VIP line, there likely wasn't need to chip scan...but Roy also figured, with this connection coming from a potential "high-rollers" box, that they might actually consider larger sums. And thanks to his winnings on then-Senator Frans, on Olympus, he could easily afford to risk more money on the game. He didn't consider it much of a risk, though...as he had told several people since then, betting on the Hermes winning was as close to a sure thing as you could get in betting.

Harry spent what felt like most of the morning either posing with or taking pictures of Will, or playing the part of the loving, attentive girlfriend as Will told the story of how he earned his EMH over and over again, though unlike Will she had managed to briefly sneak away so she could get something to eat.

It was just as she was contemplating ways of getting Will a break away from all of the bloody tourists that a balding man was introduced to them. Who after waving for Will to sit back down would present them both with a small wrapped package. Curious as to what it could be she would carefully remove the wrapping to find a Limited edition Will Call figure complete with EMH and removable frisbee of death if only the real thing had been so easy to remove! ”Oh that’s so kind of you, Will is such a fan of your work...see baby I told you that you would be an action figure one day” she said with the first genuine smile of the day, knowing how much the gesture meant to Will ”perhaps we could introduce my Will action figure to your Harry action figure?” she suggested to a gobsmacked Will with a cheeky grin as she affectionately teased him about his collection.

As the defesne waited Supe looked at Zob...we got the edge here.. he can only drop back so far, and if he rolls out, he could step out for a safety.. if they get got holding in the endzone..its a safety.... Machins and the other Safety would be the 'back deep' Billie and the other corner would hit thier recivers , then charge up field in case Pascal escaped the Pocket..

the sticks were set, Supe says... submarine the O-line, we can Jam up the backs if its a run..if its a Pass The LBs can get to Pascal.

pascal came up to the Line.. he looked around, his eyes wide... the Ball was snapped he faked the hand off and the back Got crushed, he dropped back lookign for Nivit...

When Zob broke through the line his feet tore up the terrain as he moved to intercept Pascal, shifting to the right Supe got picked up by one of the back by fortunate luck this gave him a clear shot straight at Pascal, 'Here comes the pain human!' he thought to himself as he barreled towards Pascal to sack him with all of his strength making sure it was painful as all hell for him just like they told him in the locker room before the game make them walk away limping.

"Whatever you need to do," Roy snorted softly, before handing the phone off to Hawkeye. He rejoined the group watching the game as the fumble happened,, and gave an easy grin.

"Smart of them to turn the ball over...it'll keep the bookies taking bets all the way through the first quarter, and discourage them changing the odds..." He knew it wasn't deliberate...but St. Gaul didn't, and he took a twisted glee in leaving her wondering just how much her team was actually succeeding at anything.

When Zob Hit pascal , as the QB thought about turning the corner, only to see Billie and the Outside LB charging Up, Zobs hit sent the Ball Bouncing and it touched the end line..

The refs; hands came over their head in the symbol of 'Safety'

2 points were added to the Hermes Score

The free kicks would be from the 20, giving the Hermes team a chance at real chance at great field position. As the game paused for the teams to get set up.

Shadow walked out on the field with Walker and Dana The two players nodded thier head and The Safety #29 Klang shouted..It is But 2 points, herr Shadow!

Shadow put a hand over top his eyes like an Indian scout...I dunno, Otto?... looks like 9 points from here.. 2 drives? two turnovers... doesn't look Good...

Klang just waved him off and Shadow yelled, Hey Otto?..when you lose this game, With that make you a ...saur- Kraut?

The team Lined up,, the Everest time lined up, just behind the 20... thier punter signaled ready and started forward The hermes front line, on the Everest 30.. The BAll went back , Dana caught it , her and Shadow ran towards each other as Shade and Zob and the others tried to form a 'fence fo Shadow to run to the right.

the Everest team broke down and started to pincer in as Shadow passed Dana, , SHadow hunched over, his arms and ands Moving to Protect the Ball.. tow Everets Player Hit him at the Hermes 35..but? there was no whistle...because there was no ball...

Dana was slowly jogging up the left sidelines with the ball on her outside him, and No one But the Punter and the Hermes crowd knew it.. then.. she had to run! Several Everest players held hands on the helmets as the realized what had happen, slight of hand.. the saw what they wanted to see...

The Punter ran hard he dove head first at her legs and caught her trailing leg, bringing her down on the Everest 11...

Dana pouned the football on the turf ,,so damn close!

.................

Walker came over to Watson and Melia...Any other time, i would stay with the rotation.. But Watson gets next series, no matter waht.. you go out there and get some redemption

and once again they waited for the sticks to be set , One of the trainers brought drinks out for the team as Miler said...11 yards...lets get in this time If I say 'hermes before the snap... look for quick slants.. other wise it s on one and we'll work Shahe and melia...

With the coach putting her back in Melia nodded energetically. This was like battle, dwelling on your mistakes got you killed, she shoved the fumble out of her mind as she grouped up and listened to the directions, then lined up in formation.

On the first two downs Melia stepped up to block protecting Miller.

On the 3rd down she followed the audible. 5 steps out towards Shadow turning taking the short pass on her shoulder and locking the ball in.

It was a race to the turn as she also accelerates. Remembering the hours of drills she'd run the other morning she cuts the corner turning up field beating Klang by a step racing past the pylon for a touch down. Tossing the ball to the ref she fist pumped the air. "Gotta get up earlier if you're gonna catch me Klang." she snarked heading back towards the side.

Would you fancy taking a look around? No doubt they would have the moulds for some of the discontinued stuff kicking around too" she said to Will, though when they would next end up on Fuji was any ones guess.

It was as she was thanking Carlton once again for his gift that she would overhear Roy's comment to Admiral St Gaul prompting a roguish grin to appear on her face as she commented "Oh now that is for certain" in a way that made it clear she wasn't talking about running.

St Gaul, ze 'Ermes team.. they are merely using tricks... soon, it is time to play the real game, Qui?

Hack Looked annoyed and truned back to the field, Hennings patted his back, as he replied, I don'r know Admiral, you might have got distracted by all the glad handing and Rear polishing?... but i've seen some nice hits out there...

Hack chuckled,wait?... Shadow is being nice right now... He's not afraid to draw a Personal Foul if some one cheap shot him or another team mate..mostly though? he takes care of it himself..

She looked at the 16-0 score...we shall see.. we have not hade ze bounce of the ball...

Beth was deep into the Game now as she moved from the bar to the windows,..Both teams lost a fumble.....your team lost 2!.. and we had a pick..

,,,

Will smiled as Carlton made himself a plate and sat with them....this is somehtign Special, Mr Jennings? i mean.. I have the first 'Will"..but..this...is..great...

You too can call me Carlton... and? its something.. to have a EMH winner i can talk to?... I don't like us making figures of dead people? i mean... if they die after we make them.. we'll release new figures , as if they are alive..but we sorta keep them in the backround, Stevens..The Galatic medal of Honor Winner..we don't make him any longer unless some one offers a big load of creds... doesn't seem right to make it...but..Creds are still creds.

He flicks through the Vids and truns it aroudn to show them a kid with a table full of tiny figures , and a ESN Hermes ship that is 4 feet long.

we came up with this? an over simplified Herems play set.. it comes with 12 Hermes 'crewman.. all ' HO sized'.. and you can but packs of more crew.. civies and ssuch.. even started to package Largs.... Kids can play witht eh Hermes and store their figures inside... it will hold 12 figthers..they thing it wil be a great seller, because folks will back the 'custom'mpacks were the figures are hand painted to look like crewman, of course? its more in wjat they are wearing and thier poses?.but..it works.

Supe pointed a finger at him,..we saved this station from being Empire scrap metal.. and what did we get?.. a Handful of ships to help us in a Battle that we almost lost The Hermers, then you go and brag about how your team is fine, but we lost some players in the battle!.... you're luck we don't start taking heads!

After placing his wager, Garrat had spotted Sneak down on the sidelines. He had gone down to speak with her when he noticed the...problem.

Garrat overheard Spencer’s orders. Feeling a show of force might defuse the situation, he texted Spencer volunteering for sidelines security for Hermès “assets” and jumped the barrier to join Nicole. He glanced back to see if Teela was joining him before facing the Security.

Garrat looked sternly down at the Troopers as an adult would look at unruly children on the playground. Hearing Nikkis words he says with a perfectly straight face “and I’m the fat lady.” He checks his shot pistol, one really big barrel for each trooper. Delta fleet security has this well in hand, and no rules have been broken and if I have to sing I’m going to get cranky and things will be over fast.” Garrat glances up at the skybox. “I don’t think you want to go up the chain of command by misbehaving.”

Roy texted Garrat back, reminding him that, as of right now, everyone on the sidelines was authorized to be there by Everest Security, a point he didn't want to bend so as to not allow them any room to wiggle around their own protocols. I appreciate the offer...but if I didn't think Jax and Nifty could handle anything Everest is going to throw at them...ESPECIALLY with Larry there backing them up...I wouldn't have given them the assignment.

The last thing he needed was EverSEC escorting EVERYONE off the sidelines because people started gate-crashing...that would give him headaches galore to have to explain, even with Everest's own head of Security sitting in the booth with him.

In reply to stadium (msg # 110):

Sarah had been watching the game, and observing the actions of St. Gaul and her cronies. Cpt Messe seemed to be doing alright well accepted by SGT MAJ Spencer. The game was going well for the Hermes, and she found herself cheering for the team. She'd not done a lot of work with them, but at least she respected their work effort. Still St. Gual her elitist attitude grated on her.

"I'd always heard that Everest was the 'home' of the delta fleet, and I had been looking forward to this meeting. Instead the expeditionary forces are met with condescending disdain. Aren't we on the same side of this war? Also you can stow the snobbery, its an unbecoming conduct for a professional officer of the ESN and APF, and makes the officer corp look not much better than the Demons and their allies. If you truly cared for the outcome of this war, and the survival of the human race you'd ensure those stem kids survive and thrive. Even your elitist colored view can appreciate a potential resource, a term you might understand better since you seem incapable of seeing them as people.

One thing was for certain, the attitudes of the Everest leadership towards their own people would be reflected in her report to the Burian high council.

Garrat nodded, “I’m going to be blunt boy, I’m not from around here, I’m Over 700 Years old and have officially adopted some of the people you see before you as my family. Business and being there for those I care about has taken me away from them for more than a month now and this is my first chance since coming into port to make contact with them."

"I don’t know about your pass, and as a good standing member of the delta fleet will not screw with your rules, but as my girl says you are already messing with your own rules as well as ours. Now I am offering to return to the other side of that little wall like a good spectator If Your people will abide by the rules of your own station and leave the people under my protection alone.

"The head of security for the entire fleet has been told what is going on here and he’s standing of in one of those boxes next to the provost who can court marshal everyone in your entire chain of command. I really don’t think you want to interrupt the game for them.

"I also don't think you want to threaten the well being of any crew member,

He nods at the children, or honorary crew member of the Hermes in front of most of the Hermes crew. We are a clanish lot and don't take kindly to abuse of power. We will defend our own possibly with lethal force if we feel they are in harms way."

Garrat Gives Nicole a sideways huh. "Teela and I are doing well, but the Sec guy is right. we don't want to give them any ligitimate reason to cause a fuss."

He gives Sneak a side hug and kiss on the temple and says simply "I'm proud of you." Then returns to just the other side of the wall as ordered and stands next to Teela, [if she chooses] with his side arm in his hand but pointing at the ground for the time being.

While unlikely he would hope that other Hermes crew or Delta fleet personel would notice and a couple would join him.

Carlton spoke up as he turned in his chair, wiping some white gravy from his lips as he chewed and Looked at the Officers.

..If I may...being an Non-Military man and all that?. Fuji is know as 'The Home of The Delta Fleet.. we are very proud of that... The Admiral and the LC maintain residence there , and many of the delta fleet's fighters and Pilots come from there...

and? Admiral St Gaul I fail to se the need to drown one's self in the trappings orf excess, when you have children and adults who could be put to use?...,everything from street cleaning, to rodent hunting, to enlistment in the service?

Hack , still paying more attention to the game,adds Well said Carlton.. I am certain there are still 'Stem Kids' on Fuji.. from sickening reason as Parents leaving them.. to
them losing those parents..

Carton has a forkful of Noodles , almost to his mouth as he says,.. yes , Admiral hack? The FujiSEC teams do sweeps, they will round up a child or two, There are more then enough places for them to go on Fuji, some are even sent to PG in settlements that are working with those 'natives' that were found there...the hard thing , is getting kids with no hope, to trust those who wish to aid them

1-10 H 46 4:19s 1Q

when the Ref nodded to Miller , she waved the Team up to the Line..., the safeties closed in a bit, perhaps for a run blitz? it didn't matter to Miller, this was what she waited for.

She called the Audible shifting Shade to fullback in the I with Melia behind Him, this cause the battered MLB to shift towards the hole between the Left guard and center, when Shade and Melia had been running .

Shadow heard the call and , uncharacteristically, brought his right arm up , just a few inches m with his fist closed... Nassa saw this and shifted, one step to his inside, figuring him to Run Block,, either Him, or to cut down the OLB...

The Snap Came, Shadow took one step inside , used his Inside arm as a 'swim Move ' and was Gone..Nassa was on his face as he expected Shadow to hit him with a forearm, all his wait going into...nothing...

Then... the tunnel runners saw 'the fast Shadow' Miller took tow steps back,,each stap was a fake of a Hand off to her backs.. Shade, went out of his way to smash into the MLB,, melia ran into the DT that thought he was closing the hole...

Miller Threw the Ball Hard.. the grunt of effort she used to let the Ball Go could be heard over the clash of pads.. She stood on her own 40 when she let the Ball go, Shadow , in this time was on the Everest 30.. Dana also rant a streak,, she was on the Everest 40..but Miller was going to Shadow on this play.. you only get a few chances a a crushing Blow.... only the Safety on Shadow's side of the field , even pretended to give chase...

The Ball's nose came down as the ball looked like it was trying to ctach up the the running Shadow.. The LC slowed down on the 10 so the ball could reach him..caught it at the 5, and walked in for the score....

The everest DMs just stood on the field and watched, with only the one safety, jogging a few steps before he stopped.

............

when Nassa fell forward and Shadow sprinted for real.. the Fans on the Hermes side pointed, and like a rush of a flood coming down a Ravine .. getting louder as Miller heaved the ball as hard as she could down field.. voice grew as the ball soared, trying to catch up with the speeding Wideout and the hermes Bleacthers exploded in a Roar as he caught it and walked into the endzone...

Nassa was walking down to try and Block the extra point.. Shadow was Grinnign as he jogged to the sidlines and pointed up at the crowd and waved his hands for more noise...

what..are you!

Shadow turned to him,I'm a pro? and i work at my craft.. and you see that 6 legged green and Blue guy?.. he's My trainer...

The crowd shouted " SHADOW..SHADOW... and they stopped when he made the throat slashing slashing gesture and Held up his arms... nost of the Crowds stopped... he took his ehad gear off and started the chant using his fingers for the numbers..the crowd, mostly shipmates..caught on and shouted..

..3....5...1..HERMES!!....3...5...1.. HERMES!! and once the team chant started he nodded to the crowd, pointing to them and clapping.
Shade Gave Shadow a Hug as he turned around , Bleeping a Mile a minute, followed By Dana and Miller, who,much unlike herself, gave Shadow a Hug.

Tucker Kicked the Ball through and the hermes team lead 23-0

Meari and Vaka where watching the game unfold as it looked like the Hermes team was taking control and just hit harder, played harder and never looked like they where coasting like the other team seemed to be doing.

Then the altercation happened between Everest SEC, Garret, Sneak, Nikki and some new kids that meari only saw but they where with Hermes crew so they where protected. Meari smiled at Vaka and said," We protect our own remember that Vaka."

Meari stood up and moved and she was right next to the head Everest SEC, she smiled towering over him," Hello Sir is there a problem you are making it very hard to watch and enjoy the game, why dont you leave and let the big wigs handle this and get out of my way to watch as my crew mates beat up on your team good officer." She was smiling but had a look she had no problem body slamming the SEC Trooper onto the railing in front of them, she also cracked her knuckles as she just gave her very weird looking smile.

Roy gestured down 5o the field. "You were saying something about playing the real game? There it is." A broad grin on his face, he continued, "You know, Admiral, I wonder, sometimes, why some people join the military. For most of us, it's not an easy life...especially in war-time." His tone was easy, conversational...like he was discussing the relative merits of different varieties of cheese or something equally trivial.

"I can only speak for my own part in that, of course...everyone has their own motivation for choosing a military life. But there's an old, OLD saying I first heard a long time ago...when I was growing up, from one of my neighbors..."I sleep secure at night, because rough and dangerous men stand ready to do violence on my behalf." Something along those lines, at least...I've heard variations on the wording, but the sentiment is always the same...no matter..." He waved it off, as Shadow started the chanting.

"See, what it all boils down to is, we're out here fighting the war that most of our people are too weak or too burdened to fight. Some would argue that we're fighting to get rid of the Demons and their allies...but I'm fighting for humanity. And if that means I end up fighting other humans who can't treat their own kind decently...well, that's pretty much what I did for my first two decades in the Corps. I'm REALLY good at it."

The conversational tone shifted abruptly, as he turned and gave St. Gaul an icy stare. "So, yeah...you damn well better believe I'll fight for those Stem kids. And anyone I find out intends them harm better make sure their affairs are in order. If we don't fight to protect our young and vulnerable, we've got no business wearing the uniforms."

He turned away. "Captain Messe...Admiral Hack...I hope you'll excuse me for a little while. I need some air..." His tone and manner were carefully controlled...but some in the booth (Beth and Lyri, for sure, and perhaps Hack) could recognize a dangerous glint in his eye, and his jaw clenching in a fashion similar to what happened shortly before he went into battle.

"I'll be back in a few minutes."

Melia took the fake hand off, then powered into the Defensive Tackle. The guy was nearly twice her weight, and had at least a foot on her. Against a male opponent her size he'd have ploughed through and over them, except Melia on all metrics was decidedly not male, she was also a highly trained martial artist she knew how body physics worked. As she slammed into him she got lower aiming for the center of his torso pushing up allowing her momentum to arrest his while the upward pressure prevented him from effectively getting good traction as she pushed and tried to keep him in front of her to avoid a penalty while buying Miller time for her pass.

Hermes charged down , the filed closing in slowly as the runner had to cut a couple times before resigning himself to the middle of the field.

the cover already there was collisions , Shade send a back up LB flying backwards, then hit him again just to knock him down.

Teela had walked over with Garrat when she saw the altercation brewing. Her eyes had gone to a burnished black which, to anyone familiar with Angels, knew was a sign of imminent violence and her hand was on her belt, very close to her sidearm. Her wings were mantled and she appeared...larger and quite deadly. She didn't say anything but the stare she gave Ev SEC spoke volumes. She was ready and willing to rip an arm or two off to make a point.

"Try it," she said when SEC talked about running some of them into custody for not having a 'field pass.'

With a Burian officer, judging by the insignia, finally biting and giving Admiral St Gaul a piece of her mind, with Carlton also wading into the fray Harry would lean in close to Will and whisper to him "All of this is starting to remind me why I ran away to join a street gang in the first place...not to mention the pills, alcohol and cigarettes" before affectionately kissing him on the cheek "oh and you can forget about buying that Hermes playset, our quarters are nowhere near big enough" she then added with a chuckle before Will started getting any ideas about future purchases.

"Jax...they start anything kids have priority for safety. Anything starts flying get them all to safety, Sneak as well." She noted how he alluded to others coming but noone showing up. She realized they had to have been implanting themselves about the arena. Screw it she thought and commed Hack "Admiral we have 2 EverSEC ...or atleast 2 claiming it, in our sideline area scaring children and refusing to leave. I believe they are trying to influence the outcome of this game. Permission to forcibly remove them, possibly detain them"

Roy took a look around, scouting for anyone that might be back-up for the van, or for surveillance (although that was less of a concern, because Beth could doctor or remove anything that might get captured.) He palmed the Verian pistol before starting to approach the van...

"You the dumbass officer that sent men chasing after the Hermes guests?" he demanded loudly as he approached. "6'know you've come damned close to starting a riot in there? If we're really lucky, they WON'T interrupt the game 'cause some sh*thead lost his nerve and started shooting. Couldn't you at least pick two guys with some nerve, instead of those two jackrabbits?" His volume faded off as he got closer, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone as he approached the trio.

Garrat had gone down on one knee behind the barrier, His pistol out and ready hidden from the view of the troopers behind it. And then it all happened. His lovely Teela was in the line of fire. The precious Rolls and the noble Larry only minimally protected by her wings.
The gun clattered to the ground and he grabbed toe railing.

"Noooo!" he roared, red tainting the edges of his vision. His tattoos glowed visibly and his hair crackled with energy. There was nothing he could do but fight back the berserker rage. He should have killed both Officers when he had the chance. He would have gone to the delta colony but those he loved would not have been in danger. Now it was all he could do to stay under control.

Nikki, wide eyed at the one shotgun trooper, didn't draw a weapon though she could have. She stepped between Roll (now being tackled) and Larry, making sure he did not attack the troopers. "You shoot anyone, the stands will empty out and this will be a blood bath of your making. I suggest you learn to think" if a shot is fired she was going to take it, not Larry, not the recovering Teela, angry Garrat, or a child. A hand gesture let them know to calm down. Other than 'stand down' from Admiral Hack, she still awaited a response.

Haley being a tad bit from Nikki grabbed Sneak, her heart beating fast and almost in tears. Her lips trembling.

In the Box ..... hack saw the riot troopers heading towards Nikki.. He stood Up, looked at St Gaul,Well?

..you should have more discipline with your guttersnipes...I cannot to tell my
SEC not to enforce safety..

Hack looked at her...Right..i will remember this..as will you... he opened the door and said to one of the troopers,..Give me that weapon..By order of The Admiral of the fleet... The trooper hesitated but handed his pulse rifle to him.. General Bale told the other one,..Provost General.. give me the weapon..they started down the steps to the field.. the Hermes crowd cheering for the Admiral, then Buzzing about he and the general comign down with weapons

Hack had a grim look on his face as he watched the troopers reach Nikki.

......................

on the field....
The two riot troops motioned for her hands for the one to Cuff.. larry was almost Mindless, as he blurbled.. only roll standing in front of him, seemed to keep him from pouncing. Sneak gathered a the other Kids and pulled them together.. pushing them up field towards the players box..some of the players watched..

Shadow , Shade and Miller were going over Vids on a vidboard getting ready for next time out

You kill that kid or that larg, you won't live to see them hit the ground.. Jax said..

the 2 striper laughed,..he'll still be ded? so will you. and a good bet all thse happy little kids and the peopel with them...all because you had to be a smartass..

the little Girl told Sneak,they are the ones who hurt us.. everytime they see us in the street

Sneak rubbed the girl's hair

The Trooper who watched the other one Cuff Nikki looked at Nifty,what are you going to do with that Long range weapon...he chuckled.

.. I can shoot and load this 4 times before You could swing that SMG around... and? i'll drop some one with each round

Teela winged over the people as an Irate Admiral with a stern looking general reached the gate to step out onto the field.

With his free hand, Roy grabbed the lieutenant by his uniform front, using his not-yet-dead body as a screen from the guy going for the van as he pointed the pistol at the other suit's chest and squeezed the trigger. The motions were performed with cool efficiency, no emotion showing on his face and no hint of concern betraying itself in his physical actions.

When nothing happened to Teela immediately, and Sneak was able to move toward safety, Garrat's vision began to return. He loosened his grip on the railing and took stock of his weapons, the number of riot personel and their deployment.

Two Asgard rounds loaded into his shot pistol. He knelt down and put his hand on the Desert eagle. The gate opened onto the field and his eyes glanced over, then again to make sure it was Hack he saw.

Garrat went over the options. The two stripper was working up to a confrontation. There was no doubt of that. Garrat could shoot first taking out the man with the shot gun but the Riot Unit would just shoot in the same direction causing more damage. He could attack the unit first, that might draw their attention away from those he cared about but these fools would open fire on him killing the spectators behind him. Two Asgard rounds at their feet would shred many of them and cripple them too much to fight effectively but Garrat didn't think he could get them all. Still it was his best option when the firing started so he holstered the side arm and drew the shot pistol. Best thing to do now was distract two stripes long enough for Sneak to get the Kids to safety and support to start coming.

"So who are you REALLY working for?" Garrat asked the man. "I mean, let's face it. Randomly taking Stemmers to some big medical ship in the sky after treating them like scrap? Last time we saw something like that they were smuggling fresh meat to the Demons. How long have you been taking children and hiding behind your riot patrol? Do these men know that the only person without a pass here is the one who is putting herself between a bullet and a child? How many children, like the ones these Soldiers go home to disappear from their neighborhoods when you can't meet your quota?"

"You said this is your home." Garrat shakes his head. "I don't believe that. It's their home." He nods to the riot patrol. "And they die if your freind pulls that trigger, you die. I die. Every Delta fleet sailor carries a side arm and a knife when on station and the stands are filled with them. Everest folks don't. I've been ready to die for more years than you have seen. Your not." Garrat nods at the soldiers. "They aren't. They have freinds and family to live for. Good people who will suffer because your corruption forced the delta fleet to tear their world apart to see where the corruption leads.

"This isn't a riot. No one rioted. This isn't even a stand off. This is a combat scenario and your outnumbered. I get to go to Vallhalla knowing your dead, and hope these good men were smart enough to stay out of your personal malignancy."

With things rapidly getting out of hand down on the sidelines with the sudden appearance of SEC troopers in riot gear, Harry would watch as Hack and Bale relieved a pair of Everest troopers of their weapons and left the box, clearly intending to intervene ”So...um...should we be going with them?” Harry asked Will, feeling that she ought to back Hack up but not wanting to make things any worse than they already were. Also she wasn’t sure if Will was in any state to be getting into a fight, however like most of the crew she had her sidearm and pair knives on her so if it did come to a fight at least she would be armed.

Captain Soi looked at Harry evenly she calmly sipped from his glass of greenish wine,..I think enough of our people turned things bad already.... and If Oliver or General Bale get hurt, in any way because of this... they will be treated by , me, as i would treat any EDT....none of that down there should have happened then she said with a slight smile,

Try some of that white Berry pie..its rather good... the smooth Musical voice ended with a twitch of a smile as St Gaul looked at her, and Si turned her attention to the field.

Beth and Lyri shifted nervously, they had been in SEC when the Captain was in rage.

.............

the Crowd was Watching the GAme.. the Hermes Chant getting louder as Pascal got Booed by his our Fans... some paid passing notcie of what was goign on, but.. Rowdy fans do seem to draw SEC?

The Two Striper was , at ease. Satisfied , one might say as Cuff where put on Nikki. The Shot Gunner, wasn't a cool.. all he knew was a Hermes Larg wanted to eat him.. but the Kid was in the way... and the Kid would have to go as well, if he didn't get out of the way

At this point in time, Teela was gliding, and Nikki was cuffed , no one was 'sheltering a Child, save more maybe sneak as she pushed the Kids to the bench area.

Jax, was more then a little angry, and not just at the EverSEC...he was embarrassed, maybe even hurt, that peopel interfered with the first task the SM let him take lead on.

Bale Shouted...ADMIRAL ON DEC! Ever Ever SEC snapped tow.. the riot troops Hack was barely in control as he looked hard at his people.Then to the 2 Stripper, if he even noticed the riot troops , none could tell..

Messe was just reaching the gate to the field from the stands.

..YOU SORRY SONS OF BITCHES..... Jax and nifty twitched.. the two riot Troops with Nikki jerked. I'm trying to enough a gods be damned, Royal ass kicking of the Everest 'football team',... one of the very few..very few, pleasures i get to enjoy.. and some damnable whack jobs have to screw this up... the last words he loked at everyone of his people, before settling on the 2 Striper .

he walked Past Nikki giving her a Hard Look then pointed at Bale. Bale went to the trooper and held out his hand, moving his figures in the 'gimmie ' motion and the Riot trooper gave Bale the Key, Bale began to Unlock the cuffs

Messe reached the small mob of anger and stood behind Hack.. the shot gunner saw her and lowered his shotgun to stand at attention... The 2 Stripper never seemed to move but eyed hack coldly.

you are rather Brave, or rather full of yourself, Admiral, to think your Rank could stop a stray Bullet...

Messe pointed to the 2 striper...I know my people!,,, he is not one...but ze one wit the shotgun is... drop your weapon you fool , before the Larg eats your legs off!

Teh shot Gun fell to the ground.. Roll put his hands on His Hips and smiled smugly at the shotgunner.. Larry stayed flatten out.. henry's Voice could...almost be heard, but it did draw a few peoples attention to the group, but, most swung thier heads back to the game

Messe walked towards the Riot troops and yelled at them....go back to your posts, you silly fools! they loked at the corp.. Messe snapped,..I am your Captain, NO?.. I said Go back to your posts!

the small but angry frenchwoman defying the troops in heavy and medium armor sent them by pairs down the tunnel to go back to thier positions. She pulled a wand scanner from her weapons belt .. and she approached the 2 striper.. he went to move and Jax grabbed His left arm swung around sweeping the legs the fellow was taken By surprise... as he lay on the ground, larry took a few easy steps over, larg breath breathing on his face from a foot away..

Hack snorted and Nodded to jax.... someone's been teaching you...

Jax nodded...SM said, even if i was an official Marine, i still need to be trained... LC works with me in the tunnel after the runs i do with him when they don't have the big runs... It hurts less when i get to do it to someone else!

Messe... zess man? he is not EverSEC..nor, is her Everest regular... who are You the Man just gave her a hate filled Glare..

Right.. I'm missing a damn good game.... General Ball ? use those Cuff on this man...

he turns to Garrat and Nikki and Motions them both over... I have no idea , what you two were doing, But I'll damn sure find out after this game.. You are both restricted to the Condo.. You will take this Fellow here with you...

the fellow's eyes got wide at this..

we should be returning , about an hour after the game... Night... comes early on Everest.. he looked the two in the eyes as he says this....So... Garrat and Rutledge are.. confined to the Condos ..AND..must keep one on this dumbass...

With a Nod, Messe motions for Jax to let loose of the 2 striper, his weapons taken and Given to Messe,..Let us go...... ze Admiral , i am sure, will treat you...very well...

She Motions for Nikki and Garrat to grab the corp and head towards the Tunnels.

Jax looked at the Admiral.....I am sorry Sir, I..

hack Just held up a hand to stop him,from what i saw from the Box, you did well... Carry on troopers...

he sighed and Looked at Sneak,Can you handle all these kids?

Sneak nodded,Aye , Sir?.. they are well behaved, we can go back to watching the game now...

The shotgunner went to pick up his Gun, Nifty said..oh..no no no..french bread.. I'll hang onto to that, I'll give it to the stadium gate guys when we leave today.. you seem a bit twitchy Tbe Guard Loked around and followed the two Riot troops who had Cuffed Nikki.

Hack said,..all of you, enjoy the rest of the game...

as they turned to the gate to walk back up the steps, bale said...That wasn't too awful bad...

..it was Bad enough.... St Gaul enevr even pretended to stop it... and I don't know if it was petty since we are kicking thier ass on the field.. Petty because people like us more the Beta Fleet? or..if its something worse... but..Delta Night just got a whole lot busier,

the moved to the stairs.

Garrat’s first words as he leapt the railing like it wasn’t there were “If you run stripes, that Larg will take you down and start eating you alive in front of all these people.” The bid man took several strides and embraced Teela . While she could feel a strange underlying tremor, he seemed calm. “I’m sorry I must be going. I intend to take this fellow directly to the condos on my bike. Enjoy the game my love.” He holds her at arms length and looks over at Nikki “I know I have no right to ask, but since we have been ordered elsewhere, could you please grant Teela your sideline pass.” A grin tugs at the corner of his mouth “Her recent illness seems to have weakened her so she can’t get up into the stands. Alas she would have been most cooperative with the rules of the arena otherwise.” He winked in a that’s our story and we are sticking to it sort of way. In truth he was concerned that this lul was just the right time for something else to happen as it sometimes does with delta fleet.

Garrat ruffled through his cargo pants and found some zip ties to bind the man’s hands and feet and throws the interloper over his shoulder. “Nikki, I’m going to tie him to the front of my bike. I need you on the back to counter balance. Shall we go?”

Nikki came to attention as Hack and Bale passed by. Whatever flack happened would happen, she'd deal with it. After being cuffed and then uncuffed she squatted a moment and gave both Roll and Haley (who had rushed over) big hugs. A moment later standing she gave Larry one as well and whispered "You did good Larry....you did good. Knew you'd keep them safe" As the brass spoke she heard she was ordered to the condo with Garrat and the now deepened mystery of the corporal who may not be one. "Yes Sir!" was all she said about that. Squatting again she looked at Haley "Haley I want you to stay with Sneak and Roll. Larry will be here too and I want you to do something very important, okay Punkin'"
She was still shaking but kinda happy to be asked to help, she nodded "Ok'y" came quietly.
"Help show these kids how to have fun. Remember the other kids from the other station?" she knew knowing they never had a lot of fun either until Haley started to show them how. Made them braver.
Haley smiled slightly.
"Now I have to go to the condo, but I'll be okay" she winked then turned to deal with the mystery man. She gave him an almost evil smile. One almost reading 'paybacks a Bitch...and I'm the bitch'. Nikki did not want to openly show such a thing, it would give away precious info and just be bad manners.
Garrat had the man getting to get chained up as she gave Teela a hug. "Oh...you got my seat tickets? I'll give them to Teela incase they need them" and she handed Teela her own side pass.
"Garrat.....Ever think maybe dangling him might be better?" she said quietly to him "I mean less chain and weight"

He holds up a corn dog..this does not taste like dog? Dog Taste much better.. I am almost afraid to stop at the of eating place that sells cat fish?.. I will be disppointed if it has not cat in it!

The Stem kids, never havign had poeple stand up for them, let alone protect them seems to be smiling a bit, and went back to watching the Game.

The Little girl with the black eye Looked at Sneak and the two Young troopers..we are hungry>... could we get a hot dog? They sell good one here...sometimes we could gather enough left overs from the trash bin, so we could each have a bite or two..

Sneak patted her head, we bet.. I'll see if we can get a Vendor.

Roy grimaced with the sting of the bullet graze, as he dropped the dead body he'd been holding. He nudged it with his foot.

"Yeah, I think I can take you. And both your buddies..."

He piled the lt's remains in the van...given where he'd shot the man, there wasn't much left to go through for information. He rifled pockets on the Suits, before tossing them unceremoniously in the van, as well, and then checked the van for any sign of ownership papers, registration, or where it was headed. He didn't expect to find a whole lot...but they hadn't exactly been the most professional team, and there was a chance...

As he worked, he commed Captain Si (she'd been the quiet one in the box, most of the time, so she seemed a good choice to relay the message...)

Please let Captain Messe know that someone has fixed the lighting issue she was telling me about...but they left a bit of a mess. If she's got any connections with the Sanitation department, she might want to have them take a look and see who's responsible... And, before leaving, he snapped quick pics of the two who still had faces (although the lieutenant's face was a little chewed up from stray SMG rounds...)

Roy got a total of 300 creds in paper ( some of it bloodied) and 20 creds in plastic chips.

In the back of the Van he saw two little killed tied up..past out, it looks like they had been in the van for hours.. sweat was on thier foreheads, and hair was plastered down.. they were Stem kids for certain, by thier ragged dress..

in the gove box wasn't much, except for a business card... " Himmer's cartering"

Roy shook his head at the kids, freeing their bonds and lifting them out of the van, carrying them away from it (with a grunt of pain as the effort pulled at the bullet graze.) When he was fifty yards or so from the van, he set them down, then checked them to see if they were hurt, drugged, just knocked out, and if they could be revived.

Roy removed the tags carefully...fingerprints or DNA residue might lead to others connected...Messe had said that the men weren't operating under her orders, might not have been her men at all...but they seemed to have an inside connection and that was worth chasing down.

A malicious grin crept onto his face as an idea came to mind. Scooping a child up in each arm, he started on his way back to the box. Exhaustion, he could only help by letting them sleep...but food and drink? Well, he knew where there was plenty of that to go around...

Sarah continued to glare at St Gual. "My mistake, you're absolutely right. The Delta fleet I know would never make its home in this place." Watching the Admiral's reaction to this grated her, something wasn't right. Any reasonable commander would seek to de-escalate and then punish or detain as necessary. St Gual on the other hand seemed to be quite thrilled with allowing things to escalate. That was a red flag, "Hope you know what you're doing Admiral, I suspect you're playing a game here with some very high stakes. A game in which people have died for less..." she says softly, "Hope I'm missing the mark after all the competition for prestige, and influence at the fleet level is just as cutthroat as any battle is it not." She adds grabbing a beer by the neck and taking a swing in a rather less than genteel manner.

Meari chuckles and replies," Oh a corn dog is a human term for what they call a hotdog or I believe a wiener it is not made of dog, dogs to humans are pets and they dont eat them. I believe catfish is a type of fish I do not believe it is from a real cat as well. I know Vaka the humans have very strange ways of naming things, I have found pizza extremely good, you will find what you like and dont like and figure out how humans call everything."

During her time as a ganger Harry had very quickly learned that there were just some people you didn’t f*ck with, and hearing the tone of voice Captain Si used as she told her that more than enough people had already stuck their oar in, Harry would firmly place the Captain within that category ”That sounds like a very good idea ma’am, would you like some pie Will? I’ll get you some pie” she quickly said before getting up to collect a slice of the berry pie for each of them. With her now more than aware that her presence wasn’t required at the sidelines and what would most likely happen should she interfere ”so Carlton you were telling us about the new playsets”

..truns out the 2 striper, wasn't one of Messe's people...

St Gaul snorted,perhaps i need to replace her, she has been bother many of the Station's people , since you were here last.

Will took the pie and ate a piece.. nodding with a smile to captain Si as she waited for the Admiral to return.

[Flexed to the question of hanging below the bike.]

Garrat looks embarrassed, "Actually I haven't equiped a chain yet and my grappling hook and cable is in Zobs saddle bag otherwise that would be a great Idea. He wouldn't get beat up as much. I guess we'll have to be a little careful in flying. Don't want to bruise him before we take pictures of his identifying marks for SEC to look up."

Garrat carried the prisoner gagged over his shoulder. If stripes wiggled to much Garrat bounced him knocking the wind out of the interloper.

Garrat used the last of his zip ties to securely fasten the man to his vehicle before climbing on. After Nicole got on behind him, the hover bike lifted smoothly into the air and flew to the condos...ish. He got a little lost along the way but hey it was a new station.

"This goes a lot deeper than what we saw today." Garrat said. "That's why it's so important we process this guy carefully. Don't worry about the ball yet. It's actually tomorrow night. This is Delta night so all the fun will be here at the condos. We were given an allibi with this guy so that might be on purpose so no one suspects us when they send us out to cause mischief."

He had an easy grin on his face...but their was a dangerous glint in his eye as he watched St. Gaul for a reaction to the news about the van. He glanced back over his shoulder.

"Thank you, Corporal. I think I've got it from here..." He glanced around and shrugged. "Where'd the Captain go? I promised to introduce her...these kids didn't believe me when I said she was one of my friends..."

Melia caught the middle bubble pass and turned up field aiming for the lane finding enough room to really accelerate. As the lane closed she joked to the side neatly avoiding one of the defenders and breaking out into open field, and poured on the juice absolutely eating up the yards between her in the endzone as Shade cleans up the safety and Melia cruises into the endzone untouched running out the back and tossing the ball to a ref and fist pumping in celebration as she headed to the sideline.

Hand8ng off that child freed up his hand, to dip into his pocket while St. Gaul was focused on keeping her composure...as an extra measure, he turned so the other child was between him and the Everest brass. Holding the disk from Messe in his hand along with the tags he'd taken off the kids, he stepped over by Beth, setting the items down next to her as he seemed to lean on the side table where the food was located.

"How's our favorite troublemaker doing down there?" he asked with a grin, then nodded his head in the direction of his hand on the table, raising the hand just enough for her to see what he was concealing.

He shifted the kid in his arms, getting the weight distributed to be better centered without the second child acting as a counter-balance, and nodded to Admiral Hack.

"Well, in the Captain's defense, she inherited a real sh*t-show from her predecessor. There's a not-so-fine line between keeping things running smoothly and just turning a blind eye to every rich prick ready to shove credits in your pocket to look the other way. She's had a few months to try and undo years of bad leadership." He shot a glance in St. Gaul's direction with the comment.

"Seems like every other carrier station manages to find the credits to operate without letting the fat cats have their run of the place...sounds like she's just trying to match the standards set by them."

But we get homeless kids come around around 10:00PM.. the night shift is alot lighter then the other two shifts? so they sweep and clean Stack boxes, things like that?.. they get paid a small amount, but it gives them a purpose..some of those children , are hired into the work force, proper, when they of age... you would be surprise how many of them Take in other children, who were once in thier shoes?... makes one proud to be a human.

Lyri chuckles,..good think you weren't based in new York, we might be shore a couple hot heads..speaking of...

Roles enter the Box, he was dressed like Hack, off duty unifrom with a Harvester Ball cap.I missed 4 Touchdowns?..well.. 3.. I saw the last one as i came from the concourse...Sorry I'm Late. I was taking with my people on ther Harvester.. things are goign well..but there is a ways to go.

.. Admiral St Gaul, Captain LaQua? this is Admiral Roles of the EMS.. he put his ship between the Hermes and maris's suicide pilots at Uden...

LaQua shook his hand,I saw footage!.. it was a brave thing to do...you lost many people, No?

She 'lets' Roles take her hand and truns back to the battering on the field.</ ..so..You lose a ship and are promoted to Admiral? That is a Novel way to
gain rank...Lavender>

Roles stiffens as she said this, and Looked At Hack ,incredulously Hack jus shook his head keeping his eyes on the field.

I lost close to half my crew..most dead, others won't be filling combat roles ever again... Had Maris taken out the Hermes.. we would have a differant leadership right now.. there could even me infighting among officers... None of my people not..one... pleaded for us not to do this... I told them to POD out, and no one would think the lesser of them... not...one...not even the few guardians and Med techs..... many paid for that chocies.. and those who survive have to remember watching shipmates sucked into The Black, or Blown to Pieces, or burn alive while trapped under wreckage... But i would do it again.. and I have no fear, that my Crew would do like wise...

Will looked a Roles with respect, a bit of glistening eyes..

St Gaul snorted as she crossed her arms ,one holding the drink...<Lavender>..you have ties to The Admiral.. what of the crew who died, who never met him?

Roles poured Himself a reddish beer. that is the most impressive thing, Admiral St Gaul. there might have been 20 people who ever met Admiral Hack...less who have met the rest of the Board..but they made the hard choice anyway...that tell you everything you need to know...

To the Captains credit, the pie was really good, with Harry happily listening as Carlton spoke of his toys and how they worked even if the playsets were far too large to fit within their tiny quarters.

With Admiral Hack returning completely unhurt, Harry assumed that the situation down by the sidelines had been resolved peacefully. Though with the arrival of Roy carrying a pair of stem kids she had to wonder what the hell kind of racket they were running on Everest, with her glowering at Admiral StGaul at her comment about making money "Are you f*cking kidding me? I used to run with a street gang, most of whom were psychotic animals that would sell their own mother for a fix and not even they would stoop so low as to sell f*cking kids!"

Roy's grin took on a decidedly predatory edge. He stayed quiet for a while after St. Gaul's comment about Roles' promotion, then looked over at her.

"I'm having a hard time remembering, Admiral...what heroic action did you perform to get your current rank? I mean, since you obviously consider Admiral Roles' rank to be somehow out of order...so, what's your basis for comparison?"

He glanced down at the field as Everest sent their flanker in motion, and shook his head. "Well, now, that's a desperation play. Pascal's not fast enough off the snap to make a decent play out of that, and with nobody covering that side of the line, the DB's got a free shot at him. That might work against your Lowers team, but it'll be nothing less than miraculous if he completes the pass, much less actually turns it into a decent play."

Pascal completed the pass...barely...but it wasn't any great success as far as gaining field position. "Well, well...miracles do happen, even on Everest..." he quipped drily.

And then the Everest team was promptly shut down, and had to punt again. His grin stayed predatory, like he was waiting for someone to break and run, only to be chased down...his version of the co*cky smirk Shadow often wore, but somehow more overtly threatening. As Zob laid out Pascal, he shrugged slightly and commented, "See...this is the kind of stuff that happens when you try and utilize all your resources effectively, instead of just relying on the old-fashioned standbys..." He appeared to be saying it to the child still sleeping on his shoulder...but his eyes flicked in St. Gaul's direction.

He didn't watch for long, and just shook his head when Nassa got flagged for the late hit. "And that's what happens when you start getting desperate to hang onto a position that's slipping away...you do stupid, desperate things that just get you in more trouble..."

Miller waited for the sticks to reset,,,we'll go down town right...

..No....

WHAT DID YOU SAY? she glared at Shadow...

I never ask for the ball, right?... I want this.. Hit Benny on a quick stick in the seem.. Benny.. you run towards me... Nassa will be on your tail...

the O-line grinned..Shade Bleeped...

Miller Nods..,alright... this time..no more favors... lets play ball...

Miller sent Melia out to the Flat on a Motion, putting her outside the Rookie from the Flight Dec, who was In for Dana.

sure enough the OLB shifted to the outSide..Nassa come down closer to the rookie..

the Ball was snapped, BennY Hope the TE , faked his Block Caught the short pass that Miller had to fire between two arms .. he veered towards Shadow's side of the field Even as Shadow was sprinting Hard, as he broke off the Jam from His CB..

Right as the Speeding Shadow neared Hope, The TE planted his foot and Dove forward.. Nassa never saw Shadow Until the Tight End was out of the way, The Impact was resounding, Nassa's head flew Back, his helmet sent all the way to the sidelines, he hit the turf Five yards later, and layed their like a broken doll.

Shade retrieved Shadow's head gear that had flown off on Impact with a broken chinstrap.

Miller had a dark smile,..get to the sidelines Hot shot.. your Nose is bleeding...

Dana CAme past, Gave Him a Quick Hug as the trainer met him to check on his Nose while the equipment guy worked to replace the chinstrap.

Walker Looked at Shadow.. Shadow just grinned and sat on the bench while the trainer checked him out.

Nassa had both coaches , two trainers and a med tech looking at him.

The teams had to wait until the removed Nassa.

The Official on the sidline Looked at Shadow...Did you have to hit him like that?

..did he have to cheap shot Dana?...At least mine was legal..nothing hurts worse, then to get jacked up like that, on a legal hit.

Turns out I've been doing things backwards. So other than your husband who's been bank rolling your career? Kidnapping stem kids who'll never be missed has a quick way of suddenly becoming suspiciously like some sort of funnel to the enemy larder ships.

Melia walked the sidelines keeping her legs moving as she sipped some powerade, watching the defense make pudding of the Everest offense. She paused near Watson, "You gonna be alright?" She asked? As Shadow got the kids some powerade.

Then it was time to hit the field for the next series. She motioned out and ran the play as Nassa got hit so hard his dead ancestors probably felt it. She trotted back to the line of scrimmage while she waited for the medtechs and trainers to scrape the broken DB off the field.

Roy grinned at Roles' response to the question about his ship. "The officer corps is a damn sight sharper, that's for sure. He's got gunner's mates with more kills than most of your senior staff." He paused for a moment, before adding, "Combined."

His eyes narrowed dangerously when St. Gaul took her cheap shot at Beth, about to say something when Hack offered his commentary, followed by Sarah.

He gave a nod, satisfied with what had been said, and opted instead to walk over to where Lyri had the Captain pinned against the door. "Admirable sentiment, to leap in on your admiral's side...but if she's gonna try and play the social superior to this crowd, she's gonna have to earn it on her own. If she can't handle the fire, she shouldn't have struck the match in the first place. If she can't hold her own against slowly lieutenant who had none of the social benefits of wealth growing up, then she really shouldn't be flinging insults."

He looked at Lyri, and then back at the Captain again. "And she better find higher quality backup. I mean, I'm pretty sure Beth would be able to take you on her own, already, but the Master Chief, here? She will break you in pieces and put you back together so you actally do look like the ham-fisted neuter with your head up your ass that you apparently are." His voice was low and ominous, almost a purr.

He stepped back, and speaking more loudly, said "Now, let's let the lieutenant and the Admiral handle their issues woman-to-woman, and just sit back and enjoy the game, shall we?"

"Well, what do you know...there is actually some fight left in them out there, after all. There just might be hope for this place, Sir," Roy said, commenting the last to Admiral Hack. He didn't see any hope under St. Gaul...she had been a 'maybe' when they left, with the potential to actually become a decent commanding officer...but she'd apparently bitten down on the lure of a cushy life and easy creds, and was cut from much the same cloth as so many of the officers they'd replaced (and 'replaced', more often than not) in the past few years.

Raising his voice minutely (for St. Gaul's benefit), he added, "Of course, they're having to pick on the newest players, some of whom had barely even touched a ball less than a week ago...the experienced players--the ones they're supposed to be somewhere close to equal to--are running all over them..."

Roy snorted softly. "Do your people even watch tapes of the teams they're going to play, Admiral? Or do they just go out there green every time? There is NOTHING Shadow has done out there that should be a surprise to anyone. He's done this kind of stuff in every game I've seen him play. I mean, yeah...he was the kicker, he's not as padded up as everyone else because he rarely actually gets hit by anybody...but he was trying to stop one of the fastest receivers in the game, with a full head of steam. He should've known Shadow wasn't going to slow down, or dance out...and after the last few plays, it doesn't take a whole lot of deductive reasoning to figure out he's not going to dodge away from the smallest guy on the other team."

He shook his head softly. "There's a time and a place for charging blindly into battle and just relying on your training...but when you know exactly who you're facing, and when? If you're too thick to take a look at the available intel, you're just asking to have your ass handed to you."

He grinned wickedly at Beth and added, "And, of course, this being Everest, it should be served on a silver platter..."

He turned the grin on St. Gaul. "Yeah, I expect the next half will be different...the Everest team is going to find it harder and harder to put a full squad on the field..."

Melia cuts out on her wheel route a little quicker than Shade about a step or two ahead of Shade, and a handful of steps ahead of DB who'd picked her up leaving her an opening on the outside. Taking advantage of the opening Dana hits Melia on the 10 yard line, allowing her to tuck the ball high like Shadow suggested and burn into the endzone untouched by the defense. She underhand hand tosses the ball to the ref foregoing any celebration after having given the ball up twice (granted the defense had picked up the slack and turned the fumbles into safeties) as she jogs to the sidelines for the PAT.

the wheels were falling off, and that was the truth of it...The Everest team just could not hold onto the ball.

1-10 E 11 5:57s 2Q

The return man just sat there on the field watching Zob get up and head to the sidelines

The offense high fived on the way back out to the field

....
One the sidlines , people chered and Pounded on the coverage team, especially Zob.

,,,,,,,,

In the Booth Beth Giggled,see!..they don't need a punter!

..oh shut up, you little tramp... what do you know about it!

before beth would recite stats , numbers and percentages.. Admiral Hunt spoke up....LT Morrow is the Head COMs officer on The Hermes and in charge of such duties for SEC..having been around Roles and Shadow, she had to learn Football or be left out in the cold//

Besides..I like it!

Roy grunted softly at the fumble and return. "Maybe we don't have to wait for the second half for the Everest team to no longer show up." He spoke a little louder, and added, "Be interesting to see if Walker and Post stick with the starters or start rotating in second and third stringers to get them some more in-game experience. I mean, the Everest team did kind of ask to get slapped down, with the way they were talking about how they were going to win. You open that door, you damned well better be able to walk through it. So they may stick with the starters...there's certainly enough new blood out there that it's good to keep the starters on the field just so they get a sense of how each other plays and adjust to working with the new people."

He shrugged, the sleeping waif on his shoulder shifting slightly with the motion. "That's why I'm glad I'm not coaching...I don't have to worry about those questions."

The Offense huddle while the sticks were Set Miller says,don't know what game these frenchies and germans are playing is?...but its not football!.. I want to score fast.. Wideouts hit the Slant, TE split the Safeties.. Backs hit the flat..

Comign out, of the Huddle the Ball was snapped as soon as the ref blew the whistle to wind the clock, he had to get out of the way Of Melia as she swung into the Flats.. The TE was Opened a but the safties drifted back, and the Back of the endzone took a big play away, with out even moving she Zipped a pass into Dana mhwo was hit as soon as she caught the ball,,

2-4 E5 5:54r 2Q

The Team scurried back to thier Postions, The Everest team did the same, only because they didn't have far to go.

Miller used the call for 'same thing' , the ball was snapped and she dropped Back, faking a Pass to Shadow and droppign it to Shade over the LB. Shade Pulled it in, lowered his head but was brought down on the 2..

3-1 E2 5:33r 2Q

she called a shift, shade the front man in the I formation, Melia behind him Dana stepped up onto the LIne of scrimmage,,Shadow stepped Back, while the TE shifted to the end of the Line on Shadow's side.

Once the team was set, the..Shadow was put into motion to the right side, after he passed the Right Tackle, the Ball was snapped, Melia went to the Right flat to get the Pitch,, with Shadow and Dana to lead the Blocking,

Only Miller didn't ley go of the ball when she went through her Pitch Motion, Everest Player looked like Puppets as the surged towards the Hermes's right flat, But Miller had to Dive Back works to Give shade a Handoff as the stood there to 'block' . The Miniature fullback took the Ball , bouncing off a surprised DT and hammered head long into the Hapless, MLB, who , at first, though Shade was coming out to block, until he saw Shade protect the Ball.. they both fell into the endzone 3 yards deep as Shade kept driving until the whistle blew.. The arms went up and the Hermes Crowd cheered..
The Mlb sat there leaning back on his elbows, looking up at the clock,,,

Shade came Over to Give Shade a Hug , saying to the MLB,..long way to go , Frenchie...

he looked up, ..I am from Belgium

Close enough , Ace... neither Shadow or Shade offered a hand to help yjr man up as they turned to go to the sidlines.

Shade Held the Ball up as the ran to the sidelines... Shade stopped Shadow and Pointed to Henry... Shadow nodded and took the Ball, he and Shadow yelled for Henry , well..Shade Bleeped loud..

When henry Looked , Shadow Pointed at Him and fired off a Pass to Henry with Shade's TD ball.. Shade Pointed at henry and the two went to the bench

Roy shook his head. "Five minutes left in the half, and odds are looking good the Hermes will score at least once more..."

He looked over at Hack. "I've never heard of a team scoring over a hundred points in a football game...definitely not against a supposedly professional team...I almost feel bad." He glanced over at St. Gaul, then looked back at Hack.

"But I'll get over it." He gave a malicious grin as he looked back at St. Gaul, then walked back in the box, settling the kid on his shoulder into a chair next to the one Lyri had taken from him.

He hadn't taken the time to do more than a cursory examination down on the street, where EDT backup could have come along at any moment, and when he'd arrived in the box, he'd been busy presenting a nonchalant front for St. Gaul and LaQua. With St. Gaul apparently refusing to look at almost anyone else in the box, and Lyri having given LaQua ample reason to mind his own business, Roy decided to check the kids a little more carefully, feeling for a fever, checking pulse and breathing, and doing a cursory check for any broken bones. If he found anything alarming, he knew Hawkeye was at the game, and probably Stefi, as well. Right now, however, it seemed more important to him to check that the kids were okay than to watch Everest get handed a defeat of record-breaking proportions.

..High school and College games had scores that high, early in its life, the NFL had some scores in the 70's .. bears beat some one 73-0 in the playoff in the old leather helmet days...

in the mid 2000's..like 2030s" The Japanese took over the JAcksonville Jaguars, renamed them the Dragons, and used players and coaches from DIII schools who wanted to play football, set up a league changing Contract format, Players made more money, without agents, but has to play hard to earn incentives?...because of this, the Coach at that time, never let off the gas.. would score 100 points a over half the games...on purpose..by calling time outs, running 'up tempo' offesne , and causing turnovers... I think he would be smiling to see this game..

...........

The kid Roy had , had some bruises..but mostly seemed weak,,dry skin, parched lips, the little girl looked much the same.

Having grown bored of the bickering between the other officers and with the boys now watching their game, Harry would put her feet up and plug in a pair of earbuds so that she could listen to some music. Football had never been her thing let alone American football, which she struggled to fathom at the best of times, and truth be told she’d only agreed to come in order to keep Will company and not leave him to fight off the mob of well wishers all by himself. So now that they were all gone she was going to leave them all to it, listen to some music and maybe even have a little nap.

Roy got a glass of water and a napkin. Wetting the corner of the napkin, he blotted gently at the kids' mouths, letting a little water trickle in past lips. A regular pulse and breathing implied a lack of some other severe condition, but the fact that they had remained asleep through the noise of the crowd and the barbed exchanges in the box had him concerned that this might be something more than just exhaustion...or that they were in the earliest stages of a downward spiral into more dire condition. Dehydration, he could help relieve...and if they woke up and could eat a little, exhaustion would be a lot easier to overcome.

Roy nodded to Lyri. "At least give her a heads-up about them. I'm not too concerned yet, but if they don't wake up by the end of halftime, I'll be worried."

4aising his voice slightly, he responded over his shoulder, "I don't know what they teach you in that pansy-ass finishing school you call an academy, but I was trained to deal with problems myself, when I can, and then call for help if it was more than I could handle...Marines don't foist off their problems on someone else...not if they want to remain Marines." Disdain rising 8n his voice, he continued, "And I'm sorry a little sweat and rust offends your refined sensibilities. I've been fighting a war, Admiral...I didn't even notice the sweat and the rust after years of smelling blood, sh*t, and death. Maybe you should try holding your breath..."

Despite the heated vocal tone, his physical manner stayed gentle, as he continued working, grabbing another napkin that he used to give both kids a sponge bath, of sorts, softly wiping away dirt, sweat, and dried tears from their faces and hands.

She Glared at St Gaul,.. I'm telling you right Now, Admiral St Gaul... one of your shock troops tried to lay a hand on me again, I'll cut them off and sew them on thier ass, so they can wipe without turning around!

St Gaul looked shocked , she Looked at Hack who was watching the game.

Hennings chuckled,..you've met LT Simmons...'Stefi'... she is the Hed Med tech on the Hermes...

she's only a LT!

Doctors had a way of vanishing after a jump off or two..Stefi has been on the hermes longer then i have!...

Roy didn't have to say a thing, she Loked at the Kids. She opened her COMsPrice?.. grab a Volunteer, i need you and someone to take two Kids to the LC's Condo ASAP, I will come with you we got dehydration and , what looks like beating wounds...and 'Station exposure".. they needed cleaned up.. food and water, and clean clothes... I have Med Kits as Shadow's Condo...

she looked at St Gaul...If i was in charge of the rusted Tin can of a station, I would have shoot to kill orders on anyone harming a Stem kids.. Gods be damned!.. they don't have a worse life? you have to allow crap like this..?

her Brow furrowed.why would you take them to Shadow's Condo?..why not your ship? or send them to a med tech vessel

Roy grinned at Stefi, in a tight-lipped fashion that spoke of a barely-controlled temper. "< blue>Thanks, Stefi...it's looking like we may have several orphans joining us this go around...the others--so far, at least--are in better shape. But, you know...when I saw them, I couldn't just leave them there.</blue>"

He gave a wink, and added, "It's a dangerous section of town around here, especially for a station uppers. Sounded like there was some kind of shootout happening just down the street while I was out walking around. Couldn't leave kids out in a situation like that, you never know who's going to come along and cart them off to who-knows-what-kind-of-fate..." The glint in his eyes hinted at the deeper level of involvement that he'd actually had in the scenario.

"I thought, initially, they might have just been sleeping...never made a sound when I brought them up here, and haven't even twitched through the crowd noise this quarter, and I started getting worried that it could be something a lot more serious than just a little rough living out in the street. Good to know they've got the best looking out for them."

He shot a look over at St. Gaul, then looked back at Stefi. "The Master Chief and I will walk you out to the vehicle...wouldn't want anyone trying to argue with you about going somewhere with the kids. Not sure Everest is ready for Security personnel who have to look over their shoulder to brush their teeth..." He gave a toothy, mischievous grin.

"Do we need to wait for Lt. Price? Lyri can carry one of them...hell, for that matter, I carried them both up here, I could carry them down. Sgt. Shoemaker would gladly make sure nobody gives you a hard time, even if I had my hands full..." He glanced back and Shoemaker.

There was no time to ask questions...what's left of them is still in the van. I gave Beth everything I recovered that might provide clues about where they came from or who they're working with. Either Captain Messe is in this up to her eyeballs, or else she's barely treading water...too many SEC personnel turning up with EDT connections. I'd write her off completely, except St. Gaul seems to absolutely detest Messe...which is a pretty good character recommendation for me."

He gave a tired sigh. "I'm tempted to send you and Rolfe to the condo ahead of everyone else and sweep it. I know that nobody else is supposed to have been in there, but there's too damned many holes in Security around here. But I think I need you roaming here and cleaning house before anyone manages some kind of hit on Hermes personnel. We got anyone else from Security that's not at the game right now? Maybe some of the Scots?"

Hawkeye had almost been to where Rolf and several others were located when her comms went off, she sighed a little muttering about terrible leadership on the station and pivoted heading back to the box. She had an idea for a volunteer, someone who wasn't really excited about watching the game.

Arriving at the box, right as the group was leaving she slides up to Stefi. "Hey boss, what do we got here?" she said starting to examine the little one in Lyri's arms as they walked. The kids looked pretty beat up, "Do we know who did this to them?" she asked joining Stefi and the kids in the car.

Especially if some of the profits were fed into our war efforts. With as rapidly as our fleet is expanding any little bit goes a long ways.

As the fleet commander I am definitely interested in expanding your efforts to include the Burian fleet and give my endorsem*nt. However I would have to defer to the rest of the Admiralty and the Burian High Council on this due to its ties both to finance and production of non-military equipment.

Roy nodded at the report. His hands were still full of unconscious kid..."Give them a heads up to go through the place with everything they can and make sure there's no surveillance set up or any other kinds of sabotage. Let Beth know, too...jot sure how much she can do from here, but at least she'll be mentally prepared to do her magic after the game."

It was at that point that Hawkeye asked her question. "The most likely culprits are corpses, now...EDT, or someone working for them. Seems as though the EDT moved in right behind us when we left last time...if anything, Everest is even worse than we left it. Gonna be a lot of house-cleaning going on..." He considered commenting about shoreleave being extended, but in his mind it wasn't shoreleave...it was just Hermes personnel acting as a cover story while Delta Nights cleaned up the worst pockets of EDT infiltration and collaborators.

Post added,,..so?..Waggles and Morrison.. you play tight on those wideouts, keep them to the outside. make then have to stay outside...Pascal will have to drop the Ball over your head.... Mackins and Jumping Lion.. Ply inside the hash Marks about 15 yards off... incase they try to send the TE up the Middle, you should be bale to get to the sidlines on a Ball thrown Under you.. anything thrown deep?.. you have to hope the Corners did thier Job and slowed the wideouts Up....

OLB.. you rush up and In...Keep pascal in the Pocket... Supe and the D line..shoot the Gaps.. they shouldn't try a draw, but..they are dumb enough to try.. If you see the ball, get to it...other wise you chase Pascal force him to throw without setting up... he can throw decent enough on the run, but he's been beat up this game and his pansy ass don't like it..let him know you're there...

Shadow was listening in as he sipped his drink. Walker saw him grinning.

..You want in there?

nothing changed for the Blitz.

Pascal Had a slight smile as he saw the safeties off a bit, as he called the signals, Machins and Jumping Lion moved Up his smile dropped a bit , his eyes went to the Play clock, he couldn't make a change fast enough, he they couldn't call another Time out, as they just called one and would be down to one... and they couldn't afford a 5 yard flag for playclock running out that was now at 4 seconds..

The Ball came Back.. the safeties rushed up and pivoted thier hips, lookign like synchronized swimmers as they Moved, despite never having played together.. the wide outs tried to go up top on Waggles and Billie,, but the surge of white came through Holes the Left DT fell as he was Double teamed leaving Zob to push past the slower Sanri and Supe knifed through the Hole bouncing off his Double team , givign them free shots at his ribs, the other DE and OLB came in from Pascal's right, stopping Him from Rolling to Billie's side... Zob and the other OLB came in from his Left..The RB blocking the OLB..... Pascal had to throw from a well... and that well was closing..

During the whole game Haley sat with Roll and their new friends they had made. Larry Next to them like their big protective brother and Sneak being like a big sister. She wondered what happened to Nikki. She had been scared when the guy put the big heavy bracelets on Nikki and handling her roughly, but was happy when Mr. Hack told them to let her go. The other kids were a bit scared too, apparently they were harassing the kids here, she somehow understood that. Nikki told Haley have fun and Sneak and Larry and the others would watch over her for a bit.....and all her other Hermes friends were there watching her too. She sat and watched, and cheered for their team and ate another hotdog as well. One of the kids asked Haley was would happen after the game. "Not totally sure. I think they go back in that locker room an' change" she pointed "I think then we all get to go to a place that we stay here. this is my first time here, so not totally sure. I know there will be a big party with lots of food and iffi'n happens like when we met Roll and Sneak there will be nice bed to sleep in and be safe" she smiled "They came back to the Hermes with us and then some families began adoptin' the yunger kids. Older ones like Jax can enlist" Her voice sounded a bit different than theirs because of her southern accent.

Sneak Knelt down as the teams lined up for Everest to try for a first down, in the waning time in the first half/

Yep... the players are going into the locker rooms at half time, we have to stay out this time, since alot of them might be changing and stuff.... but then they play a second half, and when the game is over we will go to the Hotel..I'm gonna help with the serving and such.. you guys will be in Th LC's Condo and will be allowed on the roof party where the dancing will be.. and lots and lots of food and drinks..

she Got the 4 kids attention.....I don't know what will hapen with you..whether there are families on the hermes who might take you in..or if you go to a Med Tech ship for you to stay until they can find a palce for you...LC said he wants you on the same ship or colony..we;ll see.. They managed to keep me , Jax and Roll as well as the others together..but no matter where you go..you'll have a nice place to live, go to school, and have fun..no more hidding in pipes.. sneakign througn emepty buildings , or hiding from SEC..

The Older Boy says,what do you know about al that?

Sneak smiled and flicked her hair back as she looked up at him., Me , Jax and Roll are from Etna.... Nifty is from Olympus...there are some other kids who were in the Stem on Etna, who are here with thier new families ... we had to do errands for the Gang we were in.. the last one? we lost half of the kids to snipers... SGT Garrat, SGT Zob and a few others helped us .. and we came to the hermes..there isn't anything you had to do, that we didn't have to do..or..have done to us... she smiled a bit painfully

The Older kid loked down,..you have to kill anyone?

Sneak nodded slowly....yes... to stay alive..one way or another...

..I had to stab a Yellow guy at a Ball, 'cause he wanted to hurt the SM and Mr Shadow..no one yelled at me..but i know i'm not suppose ta!

The Little girl nodded slowly...i know some people i would liked to have killed to death!

Sneak gives her a Hug..well..you're safe now... and those bad folks?.. they might not be so safe... The Hermes tends to take care of thier people..one way or another..

Pascal was done, he heaved the Ball down the right sideline, the reciver got behind Billie and hauled it in.. tucking it away As Jumping Lion sprinted after him, hitting him hard but not before he dove into the endzone!

Touchdown Everest!

the Fans cheered.. Hermes side looked shocked..Supe Pounded the ground were he was after being tripped Up

Thier Kicker came on( back up kicker)..and barely put thr Ball through..

2:54s 2Q H-46 E-7

Shadow and Dana went out to return the kick.. the return team looked grim, like Everest took somethign that wasn't theirs to take.

The Ball came down to Dana who made a nice Cut, Picked Up a crossing Balck By Shadow before being pulled down on the Hermes 31.

1-10 H31 2:44 s 2Q H-46 E-7

Miller waited in the Huddle, ..you want a deep one?

Let me and Dana loose down the sidelines ..if its not there, you should have the TE or the backs

She looks around the Huddle,Ok? if its incomplete, it doesn't matter If its
complete and they don't score.. they run your asses off to get to the line, see if we can get another play in before the 2 minute warning. Don't screw this up..I want at least 3 points out of this.

the broke the Huddle and Lined Ip there was alot of time for a team with 3 times outs in there pocket and the 2 minute warning... The corners creeped up on Shadow and Dana, the safeties took a step or two inside the Hashs..that's all Dana needed to see... the Ball was snapped, Shadow arms moved like a Ninja to beat down the Corners' arms, Dana did the same thing ,m but spun inside and kicked it in..

Both Hermes Wideouts were tearoign down the sidlines, while football fans 'in the know' stood up and screamed about the deep ball being open.

Miller..new more football then them, and let the ball go as soon as her back for hit, the third step...

in the ESN league there is always talkign point to who is the better reciver on the hermes, Shadow, ot Dana... All around, Shadow would win with Blocking and being able to throw..and thier route runnign was seamless... Dana seemed to have..slightly..better hands, But Shadow's grip pulled many a pass from a DB's hands.

One thing no one argued..Shadow was the fastest reciver on the Hermes.. the Ball was Let Go by Miller , Knowing this.

The outstreched hands brought the ball in, tucked it away in the outside arm, and Looked to stiffarm a dender, but there was no one close...

The everest fans went Did silent... the Hermes fans erupted like a broken power Cell

Dana Gave Him a Hug as weill as Shade and high fives from the Offense.....You always make me look good, Hot shot... Miller Clapped his back..

I can't catch it, if you don't throw it!

... Tucker and the PAT team went on the field.. Post stopped Shadow and nodded to the field.. He and Miller watched as the ball was snapped and tucker caught the Ball!..tucker rolled to his right and let... a very wobbly pass... got to the deep corner , where Hope pulled the ball in..for 2 points!

Shadow Grinned at Walker..

Walker shrugged....this means they lost one point in the TD exchange!

Henry sat and watched the game, still holding the ball Shadow had lobbed up into the stands. He wasn't quite sure about that, the purpose of it. Shade had been talking to him before he threw it, as far as he could tell it was the ball that the little guy had scored with although there seemed to be so many balls around... and was it meant for him, or just chance that it had come straight to his hands?

At least he hadn't embarassed himself by fumbling it. Well, he'd played full back at rugby at school and as an undergraduate, and that position involved catching a long of long balls. Muscle memory had kicked in even after all that time.

Melia rested on the sidelines during the PAT turned into a 2 point conversion. Then it was back to the field to line up for a shot at the Everest return team and continue to punishment. Lining up she bounced, letting her arms swing a little staying loose waiting for the signal to set for the kickoff. She eyed the Everest return team watching for signs of fatigue and weakness. As it stood she was pretty sure the Everest return team had more time on the field than their offense had even counting the last drive.

Orria enjoyed some powerade hanging out with the stem kids, Haley and Roll. She was cheering for her friends on the field, and especially Melia and Shade.

The Kickoff team lined up, Tucker didn't even ask how Walker wanted the kick... The Ball sailed in the , near, windless air... only the briefest of breeze coming in from the sea, in the 'homemade Convection current"

The Everest team was indeed back on its heels..having scored on a Big play, they were burned by another Big Play, with the cherry on top , of having the Kicker throw a 2 pt pass.

The Back who fielded the ball Juggled it just for a Moment at the 4 yard line, and turned up field..

Once More the Hermes Kick team came down.. Bille and Waggles on the left...meila and Jumping Lion on the right..Zob and Shade in the Middle

Tucker hanging back as 'safety' and the other out four with two on each side of Zob and Shade...

It was noted, that , though Shade was faster then last game, he still lagged a step or two behind the rest, which is one of the reasons, he just punished the first player to reach him.

Pads popped , helmets met as the Runner was closed in on

getting up into the pack, the return man gets past the angles the outside folks would have, he made the effort to cut to where Shade and the blocker, went down, and escaped the arms of Zob and one of the outside-middle guys.. and then he was Gone.. Tucker tried to tackle him, but the return mad gave him a solid stiff arm and went eh last 20 yards Untouched for the TD

Once more, Everest went for the PAT...figuring 1 pt is better then nothing when the hole they had was deep.

1:44s ( 2 Minute warning) 2Q H 54 E 14

the coverage team wAS very upset they let the return man Go.. Walker Pulled Shade aside and lectured him on, not 'taking the Guy out' if it means taking himself out too.

Then Shade and Zob went to black for the return,..Walker told Shade , it was ok to take out the player now..

a Thumbs out and the angry little Udenese went out onto the field.

The Ball was 'squibbed' either on purpose, or ebcause they had a replacement kicker in... Dana gathered the ball in , ran up field before she ended up at the Hermes 36.

1-10 H36 1:30s 2Q H 54 E 14

Miller looked around in the Huddle...Walker wants at least 3..... we have 3 Timeouts.. if you're on the sidliens, you get the 9 hells out of Bounds.. don't worry about a Yard or two extra..., If we call a Time out.... huddle up... anything esle , even if we stop the clock on an incomplete or out of bounds, you line up fast, don't give them a chance to sum.. they have 4 Line men out there, and 3 LBs..that's good for us? we can't let them get more DBs out there... ready? All calls at the line...

The first Play, Miller GAve Shade a Hand off, the D-line shot passed thinking he was going to block, and he picked up 8 yards before the safety brought him down... the Safety was thrown a good 2 yards away as he tried to hole Shade down so he couldn't hurry and Line up.

2-2 H44 1:03r 2Q

Next Play, was a fake pitch to Melia and a toss to Hope..he ran straight up field and went down as soon as he was Contacted , to save Time.. Miller called the 1st Time out

1-10 E48 :46 2Q Hermes 2 TO left

we need the 25 to give Tucker a decent shot at a FG.... work it...

they came out of the Huddle and Miller called a screen to Melia. Shade Blocked the MLB as he Blitzed ( of course he did!) Melia 'missed' her blaock and was out in the Flat with Dana and Hope blocking for her...

Melia pulled in the pass in the flats between the hashes and turned up field angling towards the sidelines. She managed to pick up a few blocks but the Everest defense kept her from making the sideline. She dropped as soon as she was hit not wanting to waste any more of the clock picking up 23 yards. At least the clock had to stop for the chains to be moved. Still it'd cost them a timeout.

The Ball lasered out to Shadow who caught it it, fakes a Turn out and Spun inside, he tried to score but , as the safety came up he dove of the sidlines to stop the clock

1-G E5 :09s

Miller gave Shadow a Dark look. he just gave one of is smiles.. they went to the Line, but Everest called a Time out..both teams had one left.

Walker told Miller, Shade is Going up on the line as another TE on the left side, Shadow and Dana will be off the Line Kristensen in the backfield with you... you only have 9 seconds... You get rid of the ball fast.. they know we have a Timeout, so fake to the back... Both tightends hold they blocks and hit the front Corners.. WRs Need cross cross into the back of the endzone, and Melia goes straight up after the Fake...

Lookigngat Melia,if you get through the mess, turn around at the goal line... No one should be tackled in the field of Play..Miller has to send the Ball out of the endzone.. we blow this we, lose at least 3 points.

Linign Up with the Double TEs and One back, made some of the everest Team smile as they had 6 D-line tow Outside backers, two midlle backs and one safety..

Shadow looked at the OLM closest to him....this is a Joke? right?.. you and your slow motion buddies gonna cover me and Dana..

got to the 9 hells Shadow... your speeds don't matter here... the endzone is ourt friend..

Really?..cause she's cheating on you. she left us inside her more they you wide when the Fleet comes in...
The OLB took a step towards Shadow and he and Dana slashed to the deep Middle of the endzone, Hope and Shade Hit the DE and split to two OLM, who were confused..some one had to watch the wideouts?... some one had to Pick up the TEs.. the Saftey in the Middle was overwhelmed.. as Melia came through the Middel...without the ball!

Melia took the 'handoff' bouncing through a hole in the defensive line as the backs were pulled away. Reaching up from her tip toes for the high bullet of a pass from Miller that appeared in her vision already halfway to her as she turned she manages to reel the ball in as the battered MLB managed get back around and make a weak but effective enough attempt to tackle her on the goal line. Completing the turn using her own momentum she manages to partially shed the tackle falling across the goal line and into the end zone with the ball tucked in tight for a touchdown and the end of the half

Meari was sitting with Vaka watching and trying to learn the game. They would both ask questions to the Hermites around them to try and completely understand what they where doing.

Everrest was trying to fight back, they got one TD, but her team scored again but added a 2 pt conversion, she asked about that. Then Everest scored quick on a kick return, the returner went where Shade should have been if he didnt fall into the man he blocked. Then the Hermes got the ball back and marched back down and as the quarter expired Melia scored a TD.

Meari jumped up and screamed with the other fans, she looked at Vaka and said," Yes they score we keep scoring they cant gain any ground still 47 point lead unless they go for another 2 pt thing. This is great Vaka I am having fun, I hope you are as well my friend."

All three Men made sure the showed genuine respect to Will for his medal...

what is the problem. Messiers ?

this Game? it is out of control..You have had 2 players removed,,,and..i don't see the Hermes letting up..

..They won't?... and I will not tell them to? We took alot of heat about how badly we would lose..but the message that came with it, is because we had too many players killed?... so? you'll understand if i don't mind my people taking out some frustrations.

Well.. be that as it May.. this game will count in the books...however.. we are cutting the next two quarters to 10 minutes, with a running clock..until the final 2 minutes...you can grind your axes?...but for the safety of the players, and the dignity of the league.. we have to get this game done..

Shade sat by Zob drinking another powerade...there's this thing about being the 'better person'..right? Take insults with a shrug, don't lower yourself to them..all that stuff..right?

..for me? this isn't much differant then last time, except for... they made fun of us...yes..that's right? I am mad they made fun of us...

he stood up , holding the football like a sword pointing it at players,we had 12 players on this team die..2 others are on a Med tech ship..and they made fun of us, becaus e we 'lost too many players..'

They laughed at that.... big Joke? Hermes coming to play the f*cking almighty Everest Uppers?..well..ain't too many laughing now....and runnign clock or not..short quarters or not.. we get to hit people...you know who can't hit? those 14 players who aren't here today....so...here's what i gonna do?... when i block some one.. I'm hitting to hurt. I want them to wake up and wonder why thier rib is bruised...or chest..then remember.. 'oh yeah..Shadow hit me'...But it really woun't be Me hitting them..it will be the guys from the hanger dec.. a couple pilots, and a couple troopers , who are no longer here?.. but I'll channel every bit of them through my body iinto those

Walker got the Coverage team together once the refs signaled for the 2nd Half...

...Look?... there is no damn way they should be able to beat us..... he signaled for the rest of the team to gather around.

..but you can't play a game that way..you go out and hit hard... you play hard, because, this is the kind of game people get hurt , because they aren't going full out...I've seen many players in my time , end up in Med tech because they were half-assin'
their way through a blow out like this...

He looked at Shadow...The LC Just nodded.

..there is only 3 ways Everest can handle this now...1.... is to just go through the motions... if they do that? Punish them..if someone's gonna get hurt, i would rather it be them, then my people!...2... They try thier asses off to try and save face....and 3.. they play the game, but run the clock, so they can try to get out of her with some bit of dignity..

I don't give one half a damn, what they do...but you all..you bust your asses...and Bust thiers!..play the game hard, you new folks? this is your chance to learn in 'live fire'..so?..get out there.. its time to bring the pain...

Tucker went Out, his Job was the same, High and sort, force them to return it..making it hard for them to 'let the ball bounce' because they couldn't allow the Hermes to recover the kick.

The Ball seem to float in the air as it started to drop from the sly, the returner getting antsy and fielded it at the 5....

"Ten minutes should be more than enough to run the score up even more. Hit'em hard and hit'em fast. Show the league what it means to be a Hermite!" Melia says, adding her voice to the mix. Ending with a cheer. She was pretty sure already it was super embarrassing for Everest to take the beating, but she wasn't about to let up. You never let up in combat when the enemy was on the run, and she saw no reason to do the same here.

Then halftime ended and she joined the team heading out of the tunnel and onto the field.

When the announcer told them that a Mercy Rule was being enforced Meari shook her head, and replied," Well this is nothing like combat the Empire does not believe in Mercy, I hope our team hits them even harder now, I wish I could be with them to prove us Hermites stick together and NEVER count us out." She smiles at Vaka and waits for the start of the second half.

Sam watched the game with Howe who was really into it, she watched as the Hermes team was kicking Everest's ass and she was going to make a sizable profit on this game, maybe she would get Howe something nice, and herself something very nice. When it reached halftime she said," Who the Hermes team is really putting a hurting on Everest I thought Everest was the favorites they are not plying like it for sure."

When they where told of the Mercy rule with 10 minute quarters and a running clock she said," Wow I havent heard of them doing this often someone wants Everest to save face I guess. Steve do you think the Hermes team will back down or hit even harder now?"

If Will had had any ambitions of being able to use both of his arms for the duration of the game then he would be sorely disappointed as Harry had very quickly nestled up beside him and rested her head on his shoulder and quietly had a nap. She hadn't been sleeping very well as of late as her brain seemingly refused to let go of the issues that were currently messing with her mind and so upon finding a comfy position up against Will and with The Offspring blocking out most of the crowd noise it hadn't taken her long to drift away. A single pale blue eye momentarily opening when the pair of officials had entered the box, only to close again once she'd realised that they weren't going to cause her any problems.

Will was less the comfortable, but he dealt with it, , it was better then being in a APV crammed in heading to a jump off target.

Sirs?..If I may... I have seen score worst then this as finals?.. why is it so important to use a seldom used rule/// I mean? this is supposed to be The Black's Pro Football?

Freebie Stone smiled a tolerant smile...the way things are set up... Stations can play stations.... they are permitted 2 games between thier Uppers and Lowers..the rest has to come from ships or colonies.. they must play at least...1/3 of thier games 'away'..now?.. If Everest was to lose so badly, that fans decided not to bother with the games, one of the major Cred making machines for the Station would be hurt?

Beth spoke up.I bet it would be hurt really bad, if the rest of the Fleet found out , that Everest Uppers 'traded' for Everest lowers top 4 players, just 2 days ago?

why?..My dear Young Lady..how could you possibly know...

She tapped the Vidboard, and smiled,..lets just say i am a big Fan of Hermes Football, and the ESNF.....The MLB , who has been gettign knocked all over the field by the Undense Ambassador....The other DB, so Everest could have 2 Decent DBs to try c=and Cover Shadow and Dana....and that Halfback?.. i don't know what films Their coaches where watching, but he's really, really afraid out there..

wait until Athena gets the lowers later tonight?.. that's going to be another Blood bath.

St Gual looked away...

Hack Laughed,..you can make the mercy rule call.. but Walker isn't taking his foot of the gas...

...........

Steve frowned at the News, Visibly upset,waiting for ..what? a Month? not knowing if we would get to see this game, and now they cheat us out of time..not our fault they suck!

he waved for another Beer, and Asked Sam if she wanted a Beer or soda..

<Gray>Walker and Post?.. they don't care, they'll beat you up, because you let them beat you up!.. there's guys on that team that will have to be benched to stop then from balling out!..yeah// all that rule did was shorten the damn game..</Gray

Sam looked at Howe and replied," That does seem unfair to the fans, we want to see a full game, and now just because they suck they shorten it, can we protest this or something Steve? At least it should be enough time for the Hermes team to kick some more Everest butt."

When Howe asked if she wanted a beer or soda, she replied," Oh yes I would love a beer Steve thank you." Sam smiled and took her beer from the vender. After Howe spoke again Sam said," Yeah I think whoever thought this up just wants the game over but I think doing this will make the Hermes team play even harder it might have made it worse for the Everest team, oh well that is what happens when you disrespect the Fleet.

In reply to gametime... (msg # 314):

Melia lost the ball again, this time giving up a touchdown. To put it lightly she was royally pissed, three fumbles so far this game. Yeah it was her first game, but that didn't matter. She bit her tongue hard when Walker told her to carry the ball around off duty to keep from smarting off in a way that'd get her in trouble, though the dark look in her eyes likely more than made up for it. There was one specific person on the Everest team that she wanted to hit. HARD.

Shadow brought the ball back and then it was time to hit the field. It was time to run another series. On her first carry when the safeties closed on her she made sure that the ball was tight, but also didn't hold back ensuring she gave as good as she got from the safety that had forced the fumble and returned it for a touchdown.

When Miller called make it rain Melia ran out on her route, moving fast.

the Ball was snapped, Miller turner her shoulders to Shadow and the left side safety Bit, she handed the BAll to melia for the draw... and Watched the HB shoot into the Hole

The Middle Line back was Blitzing on Shade's side, this Time Shade Up ended the mad, and Jumped on him to stop him from Getting up.

Melia shot into the hole finding a seam and followed it into the gap created by the safety who'd hit her before. Unfortunately the same safety had jumped Shadow's route giving her a free unmolested path into the endzone, for another TD.

The Refs Hands went Up, as melia crossed the goal line.. Dana and Hope Pounded her on the pads as the went to the sidelines.

Shade and the ...much taller.. MLB pushed each other some more, but the ref stepped between them.

Benny Hope Looked abck and said to Shadow,why don't you step in? That's your Kid?

..My 'kid', was on the ground fighting One Eyed Jacks a little over 2 days ago?.. he can handle himself...

,,then why did you jack the backer up and get the flag?

Cheapshots are differant ... That's why i jacked the guy up who hit Dana...

the Girl with the water Bottles handed one to Shadow and One to Benny.

Benny nodded as he took a mouth full of water.what about the Kicker you ruined?

..he was in my way...

Walker Nodded sternly to Melia , then turned to send the PAT team out.

Tucker and the PAT team came in, kicking the 1 point.

After all now that he had his EMH he’d surely be setting his sights higher than the liked of her.

The Captain sat down..things are being brought to light here today, Dusk?... The Warlord already knows. But the party tonight? Keep your wits about you, as to the Everest people..... They lights are goign to go very dim tonight.

...............

Hack relaxed a bit after the Everest return man was brought down... Your Granmod Shade...seems to have an intense dislike for the MLB, that goes beyopund the color of his jeresy.... I expect, either you..or Shadow to find out why...The Lad is as even a trooper as i have Met...

Will called over,( yeah Pun not intended)..Admiral?... if I may... Shade must have an axe to grind, and that MLB is in too deep to try to stop it, outside of pretedning his hurt...

Hennings pointed to Will and Nodded.That's what i said....This is a very..'unShadelike'..action.

Maybe your coach should pull the half breed from the field!

Pascal and the offense came out, they had a long rest because of kick returns.. they looked at once..eager... and unsure.

breaking the Huddle, Pascal called a few signals.. whether he was changing the play, it didn't matter, for the rest of the Game it was 7 players Blitzing.. the corners cover short and outside. and safeties deep and inside.

the first play was a Dive to the HB to get the clock runnign again. The Back was Crushed in the Middle for a hard won...1 yard.

2-9 E41 :34r 3Q

hoping the Hermes team would think they were running out the quarter, Pascal waited until 6 seconds on the clock to snap the ball, then Rolled to throw Deep down filed , even as the White jeresys with ESN blue numbers roared over hi O-line.

Far as myself and Bura's concerned your loyalty to the APF and it's mission and interests is suspect at best. Should you prove loyal by the time we leave know that a full scale review and investigation will be conduct by the Burian High Council as to whether it is within the planets best interests and security to continue commerce of key materials through this station while you serve as the leader here... though if you want to continue to push your luck speaking like that about Shadow's son, and Admiral Lillit's Grandmod I suppose it'll save us the trouble of having to do any work at all aside from building a relationship with you're successor."

Harry would return Dusk's smile, though it was clear that she was less than convinced that Will would be happy to get rid of Dusk, with Harry finding it very hard to imagine anyone wanting to get rid of the attractive Udenese girl...unless of course her father encouraged them that is "I find it very hard to believe that you would be anything but pleasant company" Harry responded with a smile as Dusk took a seat with them.

With Captain Si moving over to join them, Harry would wave off the drink if it appeared to be even vaguely alcoholic, before listening as the captain spoke in veiled terms about what was about to happen tonight. It was then that Admiral StGaul would make the mistake of insulting Shade, causing Harry to quietly wonder whether it would be Dusk or Lillit that would rip her arms off.

As Pascal tried turning to the left the last thing he saw was Zob's demonic yellow eyes as he sacked him so hard that when he hit he swore a few bones fractured this caused the ball to come loose luckily enough Supe managed to grab it and return it for 16 yards before getting brought down.

After the play he got up looked down at Pascal, "If you know whats good for you, you wont get back up...." he grinned as he waited for the Hermes offense to take the field.

She Slammed the turf with her hand , getting up as the Safety grinned at her, taking the ball with him to the sidlines.

Shade and the Middle Linebacker were rolling around like a pair of fighting Hamsters,, The Hermes Center grabbed Shade and was trying to pull him off the MLB the LOLB was Pulling the MLB away...

You both get to your sidelines ..and you're done...neither of you come back out the rest of the game... if i see you on the field.. i'll eject you wearing your helmet the wrong way!..Understood?

Shade Nodded and Turned away, his eyes shifting from red to Black,,,Shadow waited until they were a bit away,..look?... I don't know why you're so wired out on that guy...but/// let it go for now, and i expect you to tell me what the 9 hells was going on in the locker room...and?... I have been ejected a few times in my career?..its not real good thing, but you have to use your head, make sure the ejection doesn't hurt the team..

He Gave Shade a whack on the ehad gear as they moved to the Bench.

Walker Looked at Miller and pointed to the replay....you had the Back in the Flat?..

never got that far in my progression, Shadow drew people into the endzone, Dana had a hole, i should have led her more... she'd have gone in standing up.

Walker looked away, and then back,right?.. just keep in mind, we lost 3 points on that...Kristensen might have even scored?

yeah Caoch?... but down there. I throw to the first look that's open..it was more a bad throw then a bad choice...

Despite the fact that they were winning, by a landslide Melia couldn't help but feel somehow they were still losing. It was hard to describe. Perhaps it was the turnovers, hers especially, but this game just didn't have the mojo she'd seen at other games. It was a brutal beat down to be sure with plenty of cheap, and often deserved licks, on both sides of the ball. She had a hard time putting a finger on things, but something felt off... Still they were there to play, and with only about 9 min left of the game it was all but over. She lightly jogged a bit on the sidelines staying loose as the defense took the field.

Walker called Out, Miller... take a seat, You're Done..LC.. Take QB...

Both players Looked and said 'WHAT!!"

Game's over..LC needs the reps, i don't need you hurt

both players said 'f*ck'... Miller went to the bench and slammed her head gear down, Shadow went out on the field with a rookie wide out.. two Tightends one RB and Dana...

the Center Looked at Shadow and held out both hands.

Miller's done, coach is holding her out. the new TE and Wide out get a couple reps here.... Look? you don't have to kill the guys to keep them off me, i can
move, Just get a decent block, if they get to me...its on me..right?..

Hope? Full Back, Melia HB.. Wiskey ? your wide left,, Dana , you do the same you been doing.. Griss?.. Block and go at TE.. I'm rolling and throwing, just have fun out there, and look for the damn ball...

The defense saw Shadow behind center and looked at each other...Hey Guys!..ever had your ass kicked by a Quarterback?... Come on back, and you can see what its like!

The New MLB tilted his head and as they Looked at each other , Shadow had the ball snapped , rolled to this Right and tucked the Ball away, the OLB got a chest full of Shadow as the collided at the 7...

The OLB gave Shadow a hard look,I'll be right back frenchy....

Shadow Huddled Up..he looked at the huddle...right? they'll expect me to be the 'Hero'.. I'm fakign the run to the right, Melia, cross to the left, I'll flip you the ball..now?.. I know you didn't get to practice this.. But Wiskey is gonna go up in the endzone... Griss will be slanting to your side?.. if nothing is there, tuck it away and run.. if we don't score..Huddle up... we're runnign clock now.

Melia wheeled out taking the pitch, and looked up field instead of tucking the ball. She scanned for Gris and Whiskey, finding Whiskey looking like he was going to break free, and Gris had about a step lead on the safety. In her lower vision she saw the defense closing on her forcing a decision as the OLB broke away and came at her from the front and right. It was that movement that drew her eyes to Dana sneaking across the back of the endzone uncontested. With the OLB closing she pivots takes a step up into the OLBs rush and let's the ball fly in a high arcing semi-wobbly pass aimed at the back corner of the endzone, the OLB not unexpectedly crashing into her as she follows through throwing her back and to the ground. As she sits up she watches Dana jump and reel in the ball in the back corner dragging her toes as she comes down TOUCH DOWN!

Melia fist pumps and yells, "YEAH!" And then scrambles to her feet.

Shadow stopped by Melia Walker came over to the two, he looked at Shadow then Melia..damn chancey call , LC..what happens if it wouldn't have worked...

Shadow gave his halfsmile,..then we'd still have 75 points.. and if we didn't turn the ball over?. we had another chance... I had them ready for me....just like chess? you have to see the whole board..

The new Guy was out there again. he didn't look like he wanted to be. he played 4 games for them, they were always ahead, and he got one or two series at the end of the game, when alot of people where already cashing it in...

Now, they were getting crushed , and they were down right angry...mean, even. The Coaches were arguing on the sidelines, he was left to himself and the couple Vets who still wanted to play it out to the end.

Once more they started with a Hand off to the halfback, a gain of a hard 2.

2-8 E10 4:11r

Then the rookie had athought and called somethign at the Line, the defesne stormed In, beating Past the Blocks of the Backs, but the rookie shuffled the ball forward, for a Middle screen!

Jug stood in the line looking about. She didn't want to let people know she had a lot of creds (atleast to her mind they were a lot), still some of the rather poorer looking ones with kids she thought about it. The others of her squad had money they could spend, that was not a problem, she had hers to do with as she pleased. She smiled (not showing off her teeth) at one group of Etna humans. Looked to be a woman and 2 rather youngish kids, apparently not too well off. She waved them over to come stand with her in a gentle and friendly manner. She did so to another group as well, but they seemed more wary. "I be Jug, from the Hermes. How are you?" she said rather slow and calm incase the children were scared of her appearance and all. She wanted this to be friendly "Please, you look hungry. As kindness I offer to pay...what would you like?" She gestured to the board and the woman who may be their mother "I buy for friends at game, they not mind" When finally able to order Jug buys 4 corndogs, popcorn, 2 sodas, 1 nacho box with the chili topping, and a meal for both kids and the woman. She kept an eye out knowing she had extra food it would be a tempting target for a hungry child with no parent about. She would glance for a peeking head or set of eyes. When the food was ready Jug would pay, letting all 3 know it was her joy to see the kids happy. Jugs drinks and food were placed in a box to take back.

CE-VA came by calling out NAmes of players for them to wave and turning to the hermes stands getting them to stand up and cheer for the Vid cam

Hack chuckled,Damn shame you shorten the Game.. i mean, we're 2 points away from the Fleet record, and that was set against nan almost all Occui team, against an almost, all Sanri team!

Stone smiled as he shook his headdamn amazing, its one of the sloppiest game i have seen..but points are still coming ahrd and fast.

Admiral St Gual Just snorted and said,Congradulations on your thugs beating My team.. I will see you at the party, you may stay and enjoy the box for as long as youwwish..

LaQua left with her..

Stone and the other two men shook hands and said,we have to go to the Uppers to watch the Athena take on the Everest Lowers?.. somehow? i don't think there will be as much bad blood

after they left, Hack held a finger to his lips and circles his finger in the air lokign at the ceiling and such

Emmie is leaving the Hermes now to arrive at the Condo, she is having heated talks with an Earth Based transport Company called ' Honey's Moon' transports./..they buy salvaged ships and put them in The Black for next to nothing, they hire decent people, but they don't get paid until they return to the shipping point... if they die along the way..they don't have to pay those people.

The tender left as well. leaving everything for those in the booth, Hennings went behidn the bar as he talked,..they are undercutting Emmie's prices.., so far, it hasn't hurt much, but if they establish themselves out here.. it could be a problem for Emmie...

He pointed to a bug he found.. Filled a glass with Brandy from E1. the droped it in and dropped a match in, the brandy caught fires, buring like an oil lamp.

Carlson found one under the table and tossed it to hennings and it joined it partner in the flaming brandy hot tub.

hennings moved away and faced the open window rather then the booth....they ship in Vampra Space as well as some odd ball colonies out there..Independent , if you want to believe that. They also deal with the Asteroid Field on the far side... too far out of range for the Hillite Blockade fleet

Zob was getting a tad bit tired having so little rest from switching on and off the field so quickly so when the kick off return happened he got sloppy and found himself getting caught up on a bunch of the players unable to reach the return man as he made it all the way down field for a Everest touchdown...

After the play he shook his head in disappointment at his sloppy performance, "Gods be damned..."

It was a classic dilemma for Melia, she didn't feel tired but her muscles were. The offense had been on the field much more than the defense and on top of that kick coverage she was spent. She hit the defender on her side hard, but she was flagging years of combat or not... the engagements in war lasted 20-30min tops at a time.... this was several hours long, and didn't matter how many tunnel runs you did, eventually the gas tank started to run low.

H-89 E-35 3:26ss 4Q

The Everest Coaches talked for a bit, about 'going for 2', but it really didn't matter at this point, and with a rookie QB, the missing of the PAT would take away from the satisfaction.
after the Kick was made, Dana filed the ball at thr 5, she crossed ahead of Shadow and held the Ball out for him to take a Hand off, , Shadow grabbed for the Ball , shifted his arms tyo the back as he turned up the Everest sidelines...

the Coverage team shifted towards Him, when someone from thier sidline screamed..." She still has it!"

The Bootleg fake worked very well,especially on a tired and beaten team.., the Contain man was the only man on that sidline as Dana turned Up Field , he pushed her out of bounds at the Hermes 43.

Menawhile, Shadow Got shoved out of Bounds on the Everest sidline and itno the lower end of the player's bow, were a few of the Everest players Kicked him, One Ended up on the ground as shadow grabbed his foot and jerked it into the air.. refs came over to sort things out, but didn't throw flags.

1-10 H43 H-89 E-35 3:03s

while teams changed out, Shadow yelled over to the Everest bench as he touched the Blood on his lips from one of the kicks, HEY COACH !...YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!....KEEP YOUR KICKOFF RETURN TEAM ON THE FIELD..ITS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SCORE CONSISTANTLY!

Shadow looked around the Huddle,Game's almost over..i would really like to put some more points up..but, Caoch wants us to eat the clock...so>,,we're gonna try to score more points... there was laughter..

The clock is gonna run anyway? so lets try to get some points..9...9...9.... backs in the flats, every body looks. O-line? you're tired and beat up.. just get one good hit on your guy, i can run around if a need to..if not? Its one me..lets go..on first sound

the referee wound the play clock, the Game clock would start on the snap, the Ball came back,, Shadow faked a pitch to melia, then Looked down field

She wasn't sure if it was because her team was losing badly or that she realised that Lillit was in danger of ripping her arms off and beating her with them, but Admiral StGaul would flounced out leaving the Hermes brass to enjoy the box. Seeing as she hadn't watched the rest of the game, Harry saw no reason to start now so would turn her attention to Captain's Si and Dusk who were sitting with them "So am I to assume I'm going to be busy tonight?" she subtly enquired about Delta night and the expected level of activity. With any luck they would have a couple of hits that were suitable to her skill set rather than the usual SWAT style raids on the homes and private armies the rich and powerful commanded.

Dropping one hand but keeping her feet Melia managed to scramble back up and hook around in a reverse direction running counter the direction of play outrunning the other tackle and the rest of the defense that was rapidly trying to react to her scramble as she unintentionally ate up time on the clock managing to in a desperate scramble punch the ball in for yet another Hermes TD!

Tucker and the rest of the team Kicked the Ball through. The Everest team didn't even rush, they stood there and watched the ball go through.

the scoreboard went black as the operators such it off... Hermes fans booed...suddenly the screen came back to life.. with a massive set of numbers that said,, Hermes 96 Everest 35... the screen also showed highlights of Big Hermes hits and Big Hermes plays

When it came time for Players to 'meet and Greet', Shadow just ignored them all, The head Coach tried to greet Shadow and he just walked away..

She would concede Lillit’s point about the Angels having a good track record where running was concerned, knowing that more than a few human athletes had simply called it a day because of this. As the conversation moved on to how StGaul would feel when the fleet relieved them of their fighters and pilots, Harry would give a humourless snort before replying ”oh dear I seemed have misplaced my worlds smallest violin” not really caring how StGaul would feel about it ”here’s hoping the pilots we take on aren’t completely f*cking useless like the last lot” she said in a voice that wasn’t holding out that much hope of that happening.

With the game coming to an end Harry would find herself being swept up in a tide of people looking for autographs with Harry suspecting there were going to be some very disappointed people when they realised that she was no one special.

Coach Walker held out a vid board after punching up a form...sign this.. This is an ESN station, that doesn't mean you don't have to watch your backs..this will be proof of the last time we saw you and have to send HermesSec after you...just incase some one takes affront to the beat down today.

the Uniforms and equipment were loaded on Hover carts to be taken to a shuttle to go to The Hermes.

Shadow came out and stood by the Kids, he had his off duty Uniform on, already the lights from 'Ever Rest" 's roof was lighting up the slowly growing darkness.

Ok Kids.. You follow me and Shade we're Getting on the second Bus... the first bus filled with players and the trainers who weren't driving the equipment shuttle.. everyone was goign to the Hotel, even if just a little while.

The trainers would have have to leave early to get things up to the Hermes, But the LC insisted they get some 'party food and dancing" in.

Heading into the locker rooms with the team, Billie moved to shower when she was able to and then dress in a Hermes' t-shirt and a pair of her usual short spandex type shorts. Even though she didn't really do anything super special in the game, she was proud of her performance overall though there was room for improvement. Checking her COMs, she saw the message from Harry.

Hey...sounds good! After that game, I could use a good massage. I have enough medicine to turn off my nervous system and I think it would be good to get to know everyone a little better.

Zob took the vid board and signed the form and returned it to Coach Walker he then stood up dressed is his fresh off duty uniform and making sure the SEC com unit was properly attached, "Ill see you at the hotel friends"

He then headed out to the tunnels and a big grin came to his face as he saw the custom sized speeder bike all chromed up and with a red paint job, 'Damn this thing is a beauty' he thought to himself as he hopped on it and fired it up, the sound roaring off the tunnel walls was like a auditory ASMR to his ears.

When the bus and limo started to take off towards the hotel Zob reached back into the leather storage compartment and pulled out a pair of aviator sunglasses and a smokewood cigar and put them on before taking a drag off the smokewood cigar and hitting the gas keeping behind the hoverbus the wind making him feel alive.

Mobbed by the o-line Melia ripped off her helmet raising it aloft in one arm and holding the ball in the other. Towards the sidelines she tossed it to one of the officiating staff for the PAT. Melia was beaming, at the PAT sailed through she turned to Zob whom she was standing next to grabbed him and gave him a big kiss in celebration. From the sidelines Orria paused cheering long enough to giggle and shout "Mommyyyy EWWWW you kissed him." She was in a giddy and silly moody having watch all of her friends beat the pants off the mean everest team.

Melia found her way to the locker room her bag with the game ball in itand her side arms carried with her. Once inside she admired a few of the fresh bruises already yellowing and turning purple on her arms. Given the night majority except the most severe would be well and gone. Showering she decides to mix things up a little wearing a slightly nicer fitted pair of her favorite durable cargo pants with a relatively tight fitted red tanktop with black skulls and bones all over it and black leather jacket, plus her standard well worn boots.

Once done she finds Zob, outside the private changing areas with Coach Walker. "Ooh a new ride without me what'd you get?" She asks Zob playfully. Orria pointed to Shadow and Shade and the second bus with the kids. Melia nodded tapping her comm to let Orria know to call if she needed anything. "I gotta hit the booths and pick up my winnings. After that I'm good to go coach."

Melia likewise signed the form and scurried off to the betting booths to collect her winnings. She'd bet 4500 on a Hermes win, so at the booth she collected 22,500 creds which was quite a hefty chunk of money even on her NCO salary.

Returning with a wide grin " Just too the lists for 22k creds. That's a pretty sweet ride. What'd you pay for it?"

She'd never come to me on my own. So, what would you like to do now?"

He patted Larry who was hanging around looking out for the youngsters.

"Good boy, Larry, keep an eye on them. They'll be safe with you around."

Was it silly to be concerned about just one, when a whole bunch were being looked after? He didn't know. Maybe he was the only one it was important for.

Jugs eyes watched for any odd movement as she made her way about. She looked for possible spots for ways in and out and to not be spotted. Since these were young humans she stuck to things rather 'gava sized'. Using her tracking skill she tried her best to try and locate Catcher. Knowing that the child might be starving she hoped the child would reveal herself soon. When other humans were far from her she would lowly, but still alooud, call her name "Catcher" Perhaps if she heard her call her by name she might be less afraid, but she also did not want to attract attention of any bad hearted humans.

I look for one called 'Catcher'. We take them to the Hermes and to a place better than this. Place where people not hurt them and they can get food and be safe" her voice still calm "You can come with us, you not be alone.

the gown was just above the Floor as she walked through the Everest Crowd of Officers, Suits, and ''chosen' Non Coms.

The Iron Guard had people stationed in the Marine Dress uniforms with the IronGuard patch on the right side of thier chest. ESN Pulse rifles where in each of The Guards hands. As they were stationed around the HQ Main Lobby that would be the BAll room.. The Conference room was set up for people to have quiet discussions, but it was made clear, doors would be open at all times.

Outside , the courtyard sported food tables and some of the 'fringe' people who had already made thier way out to the Courtyard. a few IronGuard where there as well.

St Gaul was getting flustered over the Hermes folk not arriving yet, as most of the Fleets 'invited' officers where there,

....................

Outside the Ever Rest, The Admiral began to lead his contingent , once Shadow said his 'section' was loading up to come down the lifts.

The Ironguard were lined up on each side of the sidewalk, gaps enough between them to allow on lookers and fans to wave and take pics...

Stepping out of the Captain’s quarters with Lizzy on her arm, Izzy would join the rest of the crew that had escorts and make her way to the ball with a far more genuine smile on her face than the one she’d forced onto her face for CE-VA’s link. She’d never been to a ball before, with her even having skipped her school’s prom, and so she was actually kind of looking forward to it despite everything that had happened to her. She had also finally reached a decision over the question that had been bothering her since last night which felt like a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders allowing her to fully enjoy her time with Lizzy, who was looking truly stunning in her emerald green dress and drawing more than a little attention she’s the prettiest girl in the entire fleet, and she’s with me! she silently revelled as she cast yet another adoring glance in Lizzy’s direction making it pretty obvious how she felt about her.

With her freshly manicured hand, complete with pretty pink nails, resting within the crook of his elbow she would give her man an admiring look "You're looking as handsome as always, it's no wonder all the girls want to dance with you" she said with a laugh and a smile that gave a subtle hint as to her insecurities pertaining to their relationship, as she gently brushed some imaginary lint from his shoulder with her free hand "So how was the beach? I saw on the news feed that Shadow was getting into trouble again" she asked with a smile, curious to hear if it was anything like the news had made it out to be.

"Thank you" Isobel replied with a noticeably blush coming to her cheeks or at least the parts that weren't covered in Dermaplast "...also, I'm so excited, I've never been to a ball before...I mean I've worked at a couple but I've never actually been invited to one or had a...um...date with me" she continued, smiling up at the breathtakingly beautiful woman on her arm having made sure to walk on Lizzy's left so she could see her without having to turn her head. It was as they were walking down the carpet lined with crowds of people and media representatives that she would start to feel incredibly self-conscious knowing that although Lizzy would be attracting most of peoples attention that more than a few people would be looking her way too if only because there was a pair of women walking together "Lizzy...it doesn't look too bad right? I mean...The Dermaplast doesn't show up too much right?" she anxiously whispered suddenly feeling like the entire world was staring at her and for all the wrong reasons.

The makeup job she did, did a great job but a close look would tell something was off, but Izzy looked so beautiful to Lizzy it didnt matter about her injury Lizzy wouldnt change her feelings for Izzy. " Oh then we must make this amazing then Izzy, well I am glad you wanted little ole me as your date to your first ball."

Lizzy saw Izzy smile at her, then saw that she was worried, then she asked about her injury. Lizzy looked at her and said," You look amazing Izzy, no we hid it pretty well, we are both make up masters. You look amazing as always, now just try and relax and have a great night ok." Lizzy took Izzy's arm and led them into the Ball, she was all smiles showing off another provocative dress with her curvy body.

Roy's grin looked easy, but there was a tension underlying it that only those who knew him really well...or were extremely perceptive and focused...would recognize. He knew a lot of chaos was going to erupt at the Ball...which was, on the surface, not THAT uncommon, looking at the history of the past few balls the Hermes crew had attended. But what Hack had planned would equate to a coup d'etat, which was a few orders of magnitude above officers brawling or even an attempted assassination. "You notice something's off, Larry, don't bother pointing it out unless you're sure there's time," he said to the larg, then looked sidelong at Messe.

"That goes for you, too..."

The Board with Admiral Hack and Captain Si in the lead enter the Building.

St Gaul stood at the top of the steps where people would go for high level meeting. Below tables rimmed the massive hall with food and drinks. a few score of Everest Officers, but Mostly Everest Suits filled the floor.

There was short, curt announcements of those who entered, The Admiral countered that, by having the people , just flow in., makign the 'curt announcements' having to speed up.

the board followed The Admiral, Roles and Bornberry peeled off to hit the tables. Shade did the same, but went to the desert tables with orria.

Roll didn't know where to go, there were some gasps when they saw Gregor. Jax pointed to the tables Shade was going to . Sneak walked as best she could , trying not to be fancy, or foolish.

then the Couples came in. Will smiled at Harry before they went,..You always look good. Dresses just add some icing to the cake..

Cora and the rest? They are just like me, so they like to get a dance or two in if they can. if i have to dance with Suit-ladies' and hangers-on..i sure can dance with people I fight beside...

They entered as the footman announced the EMH winner people clapped , some cheered..

the rest of the couples entered after.

Arnie chuckled at Billie's information,well? at least you shouldn't feel uncomfortable... I like the dress, bu the way, Some ladies forget how Angel-sick works.. you seem to have molded it...

Howe smiled,all Guys look good in uniform, Ladies normally look good in dresses, as long as that don't pack on the makeup with a trowel he grins.

As the other couples come through.. the noise behind them was growing.

the people who cheered move up the Lines of Iron Guard, As Shadow moved forward. With the distraction. the people , barely notcied the Iron Guard following the tail end of the group, perhaps no one noticed the 4 Officers behind them

”Yeah you’re right, sorry, I guess it’s all getting to me...I’ll try to relax” Izzy said knowing that she must be sounding paranoid and that she needed to relax and take her mind off of everything for a little while. Once they were inside after being announced by an NCO that seemingly wanted to get everybody through as quickly as possible Izzy would look to Lizzy as she softly asked ”Do you want to get a drink first? And then maybe we can have a dance afterwards if you like?” she suggested, though to be honest she was pretty open to anything so long as she was doing it with Lizzy.

The Crowd Really Buzzed When Larry Came in, His head swinging left to right as if challenging the crowd.

Messe walked with Roy,..there is much noise out side, I don't remember that's much noise last time..

St Gaul came down a few steps to Meet the Captain and Admiral Hack, beside her was General Fontie. The Military Commander of Everest's Ground forces. used mostly for boarding and rotating at 'The Line" that they now share with the Hyrians.

the General was slightly heavy, but other wise , looked like he could be ready to jump off( if he would ever dare)

St Gaul smiles,I see you have brought many people.... It was nice of you to have the iron Guard you brought in for the Fleet, to stand guard and allow both of our SEC to have time to enjoy themselves

General Bowed his head and Kissed Captain Si's Hand and Gave The Admiral a nod... you brought the Iron guard for the Fleet?.. you do not have enough of them for every ship.

we do not need them for every ship?.. our Santi, Occui, Hyrians, Nivarians.. we have Ape folks , naragrans and Gava?. not to mention largs scattered all over the place..so?..I think we have enough of the Iron Guard, for what ever we need to do.

After they got through Lizzy kept smiling and then replied to Izzy," Yes lets get a drink, maybe calm your nerves a little Izzy. Oh yes we will dance, this will be the first time we will get to dance a lot at a Ball. Come lets have fun Izzy." Lizzy then headed for the drink table and orders a fruity wine, she will wait for Izzy to get a drink and then smile at her girlfriend, and make a cheer and says," To us and the ESN/APF together we will win this war." Lizzy wanted to do so much for the war, she needed to make amends for all the damage her Father did.

Ce-Va moved fast, yet smoothly in her Gown, as she took Vids of folks meeting and greeting as well as waiting for Shadow to enter

Dusk and her Escort were by the tables as they did the 'happy hour thing' waiting for Shadow to enter.

The doors opened as Cora , Ellen and Scarlet entered lookign like goddesses, they stepped to the side as Shadow came through the door with Beth, Flores , Frans and Eckles... there were cheers from some of those who entered.. Shadow, going out aou, his arms raised in the air as people Clapped and hooted.

St Gaul looked disgusted,..You should teach him more decorum...

Captain Si smiled,..you will not see him hanging on any one, or , over use of affection. He is a warrior, and he plays as hard as he fights... and his people love him for it.

General Fontie snorted,It seems Like they Should show the same for thier Admiral..no?

Hack chuckles...My people would follow me...have followed me everywhere... they do so because i lead them, because they fight for the cause....now? They Follow Shadow, because they want to ...

Roy quirked a little grin. "Well, last time, we hadn't just crushed the Everest Football team the night before. We had yet to deal decisively with the Hyrians, people still thought the Verians were allies, Nivar was still a thorn in everyone's side, Etna was barely holding its own, and Matterhorn was in danger of being overrun. And we all took limos to the front steps, so there wasn't the time and space for a huge, cheering throng of people to pile up. So, yeah...I expected more noise this time than last." He didn't sound complacent about it, but it was hard to tell if his amusem*nt was more from the enthusiasm of the crowd, or from Messe's surprise at that enthusiasm.

"I also suspect that Admiral St. Gaul has been funneling money to her favorites at the expense of better, more qualified people, and Admiral Hack has a way of correcting such behaviors...people are hoping for change, except for the privileged elite few that are really comfortable with the way things are now. And I suspect they're going to have their evening ruined sometime soon, in ways that Shadow could never manage...although, depending on how they react to it, he may have a hand in further ruining their evening."

Some people approached ( slowly) Roll, Haley and Gregor.Most of them would ask how much Roll would sell Gregor for.

Roll would get angry and sayhe's not for selling!..He is a Hermes Larg Cadet!

Messe truned her back on the main entrance as more Iron Guard filed in...There is something....odd....It is expected that the Guard would be outside and inside?..but there are 4 of them , that do not have Pulse rifles.

..........

Two 'older' men approached Henry and Val.Excuse me, Dr. Christy... I am Dr. Bill Paul..this is my partner Dr Fred Koff...we run the...rather underfunded..Bio tech labs under the Uppers? We were promised a large Lab, but were Jammed into smaller lab space that is under the damnable sea!..there were larger Lab Areas that were Given to Civie bio-systems research people... some of out other partners quit, and joined them....

Koff spoke up up...do you think Admiral Hack could change to resources we have here?

I mean, they would be high-ranking officers, so it only makes sense that they'd get some kind of invitation, doesn't it?" he asked, managing to sound sincere. He was actually pretty certain they were the command cadre for the Iron Guard...but since General Stone was there as some kind of surprise, he didn't want to call too much attention to them.

"What's so odd about that? I mean, granted, none of us are on duty, but no officer or non-com from the Hermes has a pulse rifle, either. Doesn't mean we're unarmed or unprepared to deal with attackers..."

The broken wing symbol Was embroidered in silvery blue thread Along the back matched the silvery blue glitter added cream that had been painstakingly applied to to protect the tips of her feathers. Her elegant angel silk gown was cut and colored to match Garrat’s, many of her achievements were fastened to a sash that draped from her left shoulder to waist made of the same cloth as Garrat’s cumme*rbund like belt. Garrat’s hair had grown back during his stay in this part of the galaxy, was braided into an intricate style, but his stiff jacket only barely concealing extra precautions he’d brought to the party in case it got interesting.

Mitch just gives a bit of a Smile,..well? I'm pretty lucky to have the hot chick of the group on my arm..but man, i hate stuff like this. I rather be in a nice bar, or diner some place....we'll see how things go once the party gets started.

Two Everest pilots( by the wings on thier chest) approached Mitch and Nikki...zo? Madame? you have zee Blue Max.. Is it real?

Mitch frowned It is Mamzelle, The Ensign is not married, and yes it is real...

The 2nd Pilot, a tall blonde german,..you have enough Kills for The Max?... that does not seem possible!

...........

People greeted Teela and Garrat as they entered the Building, some people seemed to be entranced by Teela's wings. Other people turned off by it ( mostly Angels).. Captain Morris gave them a wave.

..................

Arnie moved behind Billie and gave her a soft kiss on the back of her Neck.....the beach?.. there were some things pop up... some streeters Knocked Nifty of the Hover Bike Shadow gave him, and one of the stem kids ran to Shadow... If I understand it right, they talked for a bit before Jax, Sneak and Shadow started to beat them down, then gregor and larry ate them..or some of them..didn't see the thing happen...

pointing out The Iron guard who hovered around the two Iron Guard Ladies,..those folks are joining The Hermes .. they paraded down the Beach... The LC pointed out they should have introduced themselevs to ...someone?.. and there was a very brief fight..the Dark guy's nose got Splattered and that woman with the angle length dress is hiding a brace that the LC cause her to wear , when the two of them decided to 'put him in his place'...Doc henry and The SM sorta stopped people from being really hurt.. we'll have to see how they work out...

.............

Will put his arm around her and gave her a bit of a squeeze...well, the sprinkles are great....

Those are, The Iron Guard. They are supposed to be, the Best of the best and all that... They said something about the LC would never be one of them. Then he
broke the guys nose who sucker punched him and Dislocated the chick's knee when she
tried to do a flying Round kick... The SM and Henry stopped things before more poeple go hurt and LArgs decided that the sides were uneven....

Like Mitch, he pointed to the 6 who stood together eating and talking,Those 6 are joining the Hermes...we have odds on how long they are gonna last, you don't cross the LC and get to be 'buddies'...I put 100 creds on 1 week before one 'has an accident'

..................

Messe shakes her head,..it is most disturbing... I should be told of these, and I was Not!..why am I even part of the SEC!

Hack Gave a whistle ( which St Gaul deplored) and waved The LC and SM over with thier Escorts.

Admiral St Gaul, I am sure you remember LC Shadow, he is part of the Command group , as he is the WC of The hermes and the Delta Fleet... these are his escorts... LT Morrow is Chief COM offcier of The Hermes, she Handles Fleet questions and such as well.. LT Flores is one of Shadow's Wing Ladies.... LT Frans is one of the 1st 24..she is the #2 WC for both the Hermes and the Fleet., and Lt Eckles, is also one of the 1st 24, che is LT Frans's wing Lady....

I trust you remember SM Roy Spencer... he heads up Hermes SEC and Is in charge of all troop movements on Jump offs... though he stays with Hermes groups for the mostpart, he can and will take over an action if needs be...

St Gaul gave a look at Shadow ,like she stepped in Larg droppings..Only 4 Escorts?.. you must be 'the old news:...

Flores smiles as she Holds one arm, beth takes the other and Frans and Eckels lean on his from behind.....The others are just...'too shy' to come over...

turning with a sour look to Roy,At least, you show some form of discipline..

............

Dusk was strutting around with the Verian-Udenese Captain ( amkign sure to steer clear of Shadow the best she Could )

However.. Shade stood in front of the Captain to the Point where they collided... Shade bleeped Harshly.

what did he say

Dusk colored a bit ( that could be seen as her sifting skin color, hit 'cream' tints.....he questions your...um....intellect and...your ancestry...

She personally would actually like to be working repairing and painting her Mantis or just some where quiet snuggling with Mitch. However she understood presence meant funding. Her small revelry was broken by the two Everest pilots. "I earned every kill, keeping my wing woman alive, my crewmates, family, and others alive. I even took out Evert on Vera. Don't believe me? Ask LC Shadow, En. Lynch, En. O'Conner, or even Admiral Hack. So, Yes. It is real. Even got a few as a mere shuttle pilot." she hated bragging, it really wasn't her style, but they asked for it."But...Let me ask you this... what have you two done to be acting so...so snobby to guests?" All this while keeping a calm tone and slight smile. Who they were didn't matter really. Making guests at someone elses party to her was bad form all around, she would throw it up in their faces.

The discipline to keep yourself in top fighting form...to not sit back and coast once you've reached the position you wanted...the discipline to maintain good military order, even when it means some degree of self-sacrifice or inconvenience, or even loss..." The words were barbed just enough to realize he meant more than face value to them.

It made for an impressive sight whilst they were on parade but it was no guarantee of them performing well on the battlefield...there was only one way of proving that.

Mitch lead Niki away from the two Pilots.see? this is why i couldn't command a boat? some of those knuckleheads are going to be on our ship,,i rather have the new ones, right of the assembly line, so they don't have any bad habits

Foster and His wife were standing where Mitch and Nikki arrived. Foster Popped some kind of berry in his mouth. Fosters eyes were moving over the uniforms, that flitted back and forth talkign the Hermes folks...there is two reasons your transfer people. 1..is to help out the place they are going to....2..is to clean house of the place they came from... I'll give you 10 creds to one, what the transfers from here are for.

Foster's wife smiled at Nikki....you look beautiful!... i was sorta hiding in the condo, i only knew Dana and Sneak , very well.

....................

Will nods...Lots of us would have the height to be in the Iron Guard...but lots of those iron Guard , aren't going to have what it takes to be a Hermite.

He sips from his Soda, an Older woman approaches , she is bejeweled .hello!.. I am Lady Canamore... I know you might find this distasteful, from an Old Spacer such as myself... Angel food didn't kick in right away for those of us who came out to Build the stations, so we aged a little bit faster, then most...but.. I would like one Dance with the Big hero? Hmmm... please, Come find me when you have an opening? I hear the chatters.. Lots of ladies want to dance with you Young SGT...

Will smiled a bit,Of Course, Lady Canamore

Thank you, I will leave you and your pretty Lady to relax abit before the bands starts up...

..............

St Gaul frowned at Roy,we have done the best we could.... your last visit ravhed alot of the mainsorces of income for the station, we found some peopel who stepped up to aid us...

The General looked at Shadow,..don't you need to find an empty bedroom...

Captain Si glowered at the general.

Naw.. that was yesterday night?.. we'll see how things work out tonight...

This time i want on his right hand side.... she winked at the General who flat out Blushed as the 5 Pilots moved away.

Lizzy smiled at Izzy after the toast , Lizzy held Izzy's hand and looked deep into her eyes and replied," I had a feeling you might be leaving the Press Corps, but are you leaving the ESN and the Hermes? Yes thank you for telling me, I knew you had something on your mind. Well as long as you can stay on the Hermes I am all for it, do what makes you happy my love."

Lizzy then took a sip of her wine, she saw Nikki talking to two pilots from Everest. She heard a little bit of what they said but she wasnt in the mood to deal with station pilots. She had to concentrate on being with her girlfriend and helping her have a great time at her first ball.

Every war since man could throw a rock, people get hurt, disfigured or Maimed? Some die... some wish they would have....That;s the steep price one pays for fighting the good fight

Is Far as the reporter? I wasn't far from her and Shadow on Bura.... and i was damned close on the hanger Dec....people might be a bit tolerant, because she wears the Unifrom.., But...well... I think i'll pass on that.

the Undenese-verian Captain Greeted Meari with a fi8rm handshake and tight smile.I am Captain Levis... I was fortunate to be the One captain Dusk picked to escort her, from the ranks of those who wish to have the honor.. At least she was not on the arm of a Human...

Dusk glowered at him.

She shivered at the kiss and looked at him over her shoulder, a smirk on her lips. Billie leaned in and kissed him softly, letting the kiss linger for the briefest of moments before it broke. Her eyes traveled to where he pointed out the Iron Guard, listening quietly to his explanation. “Well, I am glad that you were not hurt in any capacity,” she said with a smile, her arm snaking around his waist with her left arm while taking a strip from the shared plate and dipping it in the sauce before taking a bite.

Once they left the dressing area Melia snagged Zob, to walk with her. If anything the intimidation factor couldn't hurt, and his support was more than welcome. Hidden behind cleverly designed flowing folds of light weight fabric, Captain Si's seamstresses and tailors were masters at there work, was Melia's two larger service side arms. Her small hand bag was just big enough for the .38 pulse a spare mag of hard ammo .45 ACP, a can of dermaform, some bandages, and some pain killers. Her two throwing daggers had their handles rewrapped by the tailor with the finger rings on the end wrapped in thread to give them a sophisticated look then they were placed slightly offset in a small sheath sewn into the front of the bodice of her dress giving them the appearance of a decorative pair of bodice scissors tucked into her bosom mimicking some earth renaissance fashion in a clever and deceptively dangerous manner giving her very easy access to them.

For most there was celebration planned, as Shade's body guard, and a long time veteran of the Hermes and the Delta Fleet under her carefully practiced happy and smiling façade she was tense. She could feel it in a way that she couldn't explain. years as a body guard had taught her to trust the instinct. Something was up, she wasn't read on, but she would be ready. She kept an eye on the Iron Guard and the people of Everest as they past assessing each threat. She just hoped her gut instinct would give her enough warning when the time came.

She looked over at Zob, giving him the choice of doing his own thing or following her as she kept a little distance from Shade and Orria, but was close enough to react quickly should a situation arise.

Orria smirked a little at Shade's comment about Dusk's date finding it a little funny and whistles a comment of her own to the extent of "he must not be very smart if he cannot understand you Shade." On the deep purple dress she woe she'd pinned the combined pins of the crossed quills of the yeoman, and the signal corps insigna showing she was Shade's aide and also that she worked with Beth.

Hawkeye had draped herself across Rolf's arm, in her slightly gaudy and rebellious tiki themed dress. Somehow managing to look completely natural in the theme divergent dress. As she worked her personal and natural charisma flashing smiles at the crowd and waving at people. "Hey there sailor going my way?" she asked giving him a gentle hip bump as she caught a couple Everest ladies checking him out.

Finding her way in behind Shadow and the others she and Rolf drift over toward the bar, "Wanna take bets on how long things last before Shadow gets into a fight?" She asks with a chuckle eyeing the different suits that were moving around.

Sarah winked at Rivets when he had to stop to sign the picture. She'd more than made herself unpopular with St. Gaul having openly voice her and Bura's concerns with the Admiral's leadership on the station. So she was little surprised when no one really wanted the Burian commanders signature. Hopefully things would be different when they left but as long as Everest was safe they could count on Burian trade, until then they could count on frequent Burian patrols passing through Everest space. Hopefully tonight would count for something. "Careful there killer, or I might have to get my competition re-assigned." She said lightly as they moved along.

She stopped with the Admiral and the rest of the Board party, she held her head high. Bura would be adopting those children. Everest had shown it didn't deserve them.

Time for the formalities," she said taking a deep breath and following the board and other execs to the tables. With Rivets she finds a table with drinks at it and finds a fine Burian pale green frost wine. An expensive commodity and highly sought after good. She tastes a sip of the decadently sweet and tart liquid as she watched Hack and St Gaul dance a very polite and political dance.

Roy gave Messe a smile that didn't quite hide the tension around his eyes. "Shall we? I suppose we should enjoy the evening before something happens to spoil the mood." Like Admiral Gall-stones finding out she's being sh*t-canned... He held no illusions about how that news was going to go over, although there were certainly ways to do it that could make things worse.

"Something ALWAYS happens. It may leave some of us in a better mood...but there's too much brass looking to try and prove who's in charge for this to stay pleasant all night." He gave her a somewhat sad smile that showed a tiredness that had nothing to do with his physical condition...it was fatigue of the soul, and coming back to Everest to find it in even worse straits than it had been when they first arrived made it far worse than usual.

I don't know how to explain it but things feel off right now, and not in the standard way barroom brawl kinda way. It might be my paranoia but I'm not sure I believe that yet.

"Lt Regal are you asking me...a little ol' Ensign to dance?" she purposefully thickened the southern accent and made shy genteel gesture with her hands along her collar bone and batted her eyes sweetly along with a bright 'bad girl' smile. "I would love too" leaving thoughts of food on the table.

-----

"I ...I think I know this one" she watched the others for a moment then nodded to Roll and stood and she whispered to Roll. she gave a small curtsy as Roll bowed slightly and they walked hand in hand to the floor. Haley blushed a bit and had Roll put a hand on her side and she one one his shoulder and their other hands they held. It wasn't perfect but they were trying. Haley held for leading the first few steps moving Rolls arm slightly so he would know when and how to move. Yes they were a bit jerky at first, like at the last ball they were at, however soon Roll got the rhythm and they moved together. Haley then began to smile.

There was a relieved look on Izzy’s face as she heard her girlfriend’s response, she hadn’t seriously thought that Lizzy would mind about her changing career but it was nice to hear it being spoken out loud ”Yeah I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with myself, thought I would try transferring to a different branch of the ESN...failing that there’s always waitressing” she said, though it was clear that these were simply a means for her to stay on the ship rather than something she was actually passionate about.

As the music started to play for the second dance of the evening Izzy would watch as the various couples started to drift onto the dance floor before turning to shyly speak to Lizzy ”Ensign O’Conner, would you like to join me in a dance...I’ll even let you lead if you like?” she softly asked, holding out her hand for Lizzy to take.

The 2nd dance was smooth, calming, quiet, people were getting out of the 'happy hour' mindset and getting into the BAll in general, which would included, eating and talking, drinking, and dancing, with various 'shifts' in partners as some one wanted to dance , Talk or be seen with some one.

after the third song a faster song came on and Will moved harry to the tables once more...the next Slow one, I will get Lady Canamore her Dance... and we'll see how fitting everyone in goes...

getting some kind of cloudy white Juice from Astra with ice in , he sipped a bit as he wtched the people on the floor.

............

The Board, split up, movign through the crowd, talking to Suits and Dresses as well as Officers from Other ships that were invited.

There were gasps and buzzing for Everest folks when Admiral Hirg entered, The Hyrian had a female captain on his Arm( also dressed in Angel Silk).. Lirg and Nugest the Half-ape Male entered, and Behind them , a somewhat confused Vaka who looked out at the sea of dres uniforms, formal wear and people...

Major Muska of the Apefolk entered with Captain Tana on his arm, The Halfape woman wore a dress as well.

.............

The Piltos, Dennis Nole and Art Moore were talkign to Cora and Ellen who seemed to alsways be glancing in Will's direction, they went on the floor for the 'faster' slow dance.

...........

Val smiled as she went onto the floor to dance with Herny. they moved through the crowd to some faster,Angel waltz as she said,In never fails to astound me, how these lavish events, are used as much for politics as they are for enjoyment..

.............

Arnie also guided Billie for to one of the drink tables,This will be a fun event , i should think, unless some idiot tries to show Shadow who the 'top dog' is...he can't back down, , not that he would...

I'm pretty sure it won't be long before Hemsly and Brooks take over the music either with the Vid Box, or getting the band in on it

..........

Mitch stayed on the floor for the 'faster' slow dance, to give it a try...This isn't too bad, i guess... I'd rather be dancing on the beach though...

.......

Roll and Haley danced the two dances, then when the faster one came on, Roll said,..lets go back and get goodies, and make sure gregror didn't eat any one...

........

Shade also stopped after the 2nd slow dance and motioned to the tables. Lilit stopped by them as they walked...I hope you two enjoy yourselves...do not let ignorant people ruin your night...

Shade gave her a thumbs up and The grandmod went throught eh fringe crowd talkign to more suits.

............

Melia and Zob were started at a bit, but no one seemed to be overly concerned, save a few Everest Officers who watched and chatted among themselves about the Demon and the woman who bore markings of a demon.

.............

Shadow finished his two Dances with Beth and Flores each one was pounced on by an Everest officers for a dance, they accepted, while they smiled , they made sure the Everest Officers knew they were 'being polite'.

Shadow was most of the way back when he waved off an Everest dress, and waved Lyri over...Lyri looked around and sat her drink down, moving onto the floor as Shadow took her hand and they danced the , faster Slow dance.

..............

Messe smiled a bit as she danced with Roy, her soft voice talked barely movign her lips as her head hovered near hos left ear.This is nice, is it not... but we know there is a storm coming...I see The Ape folk Captain looking at us, perhaps he wishes to speak to you...

her eyes were as sharp as her appearance as Muska did seem to want to talk with hism as Tana got them both some , blood red drink from the tables.

............

Rivets and Sarah stayed on the floor for the third one, This ain't a Dublin reel, but it is better then them slow stuff from Paradise, or them fast stuff the younger ones like...

............

Bale was Dancing with Miller, and Captain Morris was Dancing with Maria who was adapting to the captain's movements on his metal leg

........

General Fontie was dancing with Frans, whatever he was talkign about, did not sit well with her, Her 'beauty pageant ' smile was forced, and her eyes a bit narrowed.

...........

St Gaul was laughing as she talked with some of her offciers and a few suits as they drank.

...........

Steel and Gigi were daning with Gigi showing alot of flair, and Steele m doing well to keep up.

.........

Raven and red Water had left the flor after the firts two songs to nibble and drink

Luke and Betsy were dancing, she seemed to be , more stiff, then Captain Morris!

Mick watched Lyri waiting for the Dance to be over, so he could take a shot Sally was dancing with Higgins and LT Cross talked to Mara.

.......

Howe waved Sam to the drinks table as the second dance ended,I'll wait a bit, if you want to keep dancing with another partner, don't let me stop you... These Balls happen, but they don't happen alot..., we don't know the next place we'll be.

”I don’t know about that...I’d settle for something just a little less soul destroying” Izzy softly replied as she took Lizzy’s hand and allowed herself to be lead onto the dance floor. She honestly didn’t know what she was passionate about anymore she just knew that she didn’t want to be a reporter anymore as the reward was nowhere near worth what it had cost her.

Holding Lizzy close to her she would savour the feeling of being able to dance with her girlfriend without the knowledge that she would have to leave her in order to interview somebody or worse; film other people dancing together! After a pair of slow dances, through which she would spend the majority of the time with her eyes closed and her head gently resting upon Lizzy’s shoulder, they would meander back over to the drinks table where she would offer Sam and Harry a shy little smile but would otherwise not disturb them as she collected a drink for herself and Lizzy.

no!..we don't do that here!

A soft, but firm voice broke in,I say?.. then you should bloody well start? Look at those animal's vestments..do any of you have those awards?...or.... as many?... Make certain these crewmen get food as well...or? I will see to it that you are transfered to the Hermes and we will put you in charge of Cleaning the Larg bins...

...You can't do that!

I am Captain Morris. I handle almost all of the transfers in and out of the Hermes..do you want to test me?

Roll crossed his arms and smiled.

..sorry captain... I...

apologize to the larg master... he was looking after two of the largs and our K9...

..So..sorry..Cadet larg master.. we will have something for them right away, and start saving the cuttigns and such..

Morris gave Roll a pat on the head,..very good of you to look after your charges...

Roll reached up and got a drink from those that were poured for him and Haley, some Aqra water fruit, with light green color to it.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Rolfe smiled,..that's a fool's bet, lassie if i ever heard one!... Folks push Shadow, an' Shadow pushes back... sooner or later, some one falls down

he lead her onto the floor after the 3rd dance, with the next songs coming up, slower once more.

...........

Howe watched the people as he sipped his drink, he said to Sam,everyone looks calm or near so...but there is some tension in the air... like, right before a thunderstorm

...............

CE-VA nabbed Shadow as he, once again tried to reach the tables... she Held her CAM up as she got his to dance with her, He chuckled, clearly uneasy witht eh CAM so close. and CE-VA a few inches taller., but he was a Good sport, and after that song He pointed at the CAMs,You folks watching!.. This is a celebration for you too!.., securing this Quad for the APF!..slamming the door on our enemies!

CE-Va giggled and sent him off to the Tables as she searched for other targets.

Nikki enjoyed the two dances, especially the slow one, she laid her head on his chest and hummed with the tune. eventually the tempo picked up and she adjusted "You just want to see me in my 'wild woman' swim suit" she smiled at him and winked. She had noticed Roll and Haley dancing and was rather happy about that. She also noted the Everest German woman trying to make moves on a Hermes officer whos back was to them and she could not tell which one (only a shoulder patch with Hermes emblem).

----

Haley danced with Roll as long as he liked. She just smiled and tried to have a good time as much as a kid could have at an adult style party. when they passed by she said hi to Orria and Shade who were dancing. eventually they moved off the dance floor because being small they were being a bit crowded out. They decided to get some snacks and drinks. she smiled as Morris got in line behind them. not having seen them in a while and not really knowing the protocol Haley just gave him a polite hug and smile. during this Roll asked about getting food for the Largs and Mila. After a bit of a hassle she looked up at Morris and quietly spoke "Thank you Capt'n Morris. And thank you too Roll" she held the drink in two hands that he gave her. she tried being careful to take it back to the table. along the serving line one of the lower rank personnel acting as a waiter helped them with bringing their plates and utensils. even pulling Haleys chair out for her and scooting it back in and then the same for Roll. She thought it funny to watch him tiptoe around Larry.

Like I said Izzy I will support you and help you in any way I can, I want you to be with me and help win the war the best way YOU can." Lizzy said that quietly and lovingly into Izzy's ear as they danced.

They danced and after they headed for the drink tables, Lizzy waved and smiled at Harry and Sam as well. When they got thgere Izzy got her a glass of wine , she smiled and replied," This is nice that we can dance and mingle and you dont have to run around and be a reporter. This is a great night Izzy." She held Izzy's hand as she looked around at all the people having a good time, knowing that something was up and the night was young.

”Well forgive me for wanting to spend time with my boyfriend!” Harry snapped back as Will flounced of in a sulk feeling just a little hurt by the way he’d reacted to a rather straight forward question. To make matters worse Cora and Ellen chose that moment to make an appearance with Harry having to bite back her initial response to Cora’s question ”Apparently I went to a lot of trouble dressing up for someone who would rather spend time with everyone but me” she said in a cool voice as she wondered how quickly she could get changed and find a bar.

Ellen shook her head,..i don't get you..not at all.... cut the guy some slack.. he cares about his job.. and what we have to do in this damn war...

Will lead the Smiling Lady Canamore out to the floor for the next dance. His smile small and polite.

captain Si was standing behind harry at this point , her arms crossed as the two SEC ladies didn't really see her with the movements.

The animals got thier 'tins' of goodies , the servers put them against the walk so no one would trip over the food or animals

Roll saw and nibbled on some 'chickenish' things while looking around..I liked the parties on Bura better

when the new Song started, Shadow and Lyri left the floor to gather a drink and some goodies...

Vinnie asked Beth to Dance, and she shrugged and nodded, as they took the floor.

..so , what's the story with you can Shadow?

he's gotta be my closest guy friend on the ship... and?.. he watches over me...

Vinnie gave a snort,..to protect you?

She enjoyed the dance with Arnie, finding herself admiring his features more often than not and then blushed over it if he caught her. She leaned in for a kiss when the dance came to an end, letting it linger a bit before he guided her off the dance floor. “Well...let’s hope that someone doesn’t come and ruin this. I am enjoying myself though I would love to just...let loose and dance to some fast, heavy music...but I don’t need to be bouncing all over the place...” she laughed and picked up one of the glasses and took a sip.

Roy gave a tired sigh. "Of course he does...someone always does..." He chuckled softly, and added, "It can wait until the end of the song...if it couldn't, he would be walking this way, not looking to see if I was available."

He gave the captain a slight nod, acknowledging that he'd seen him, but continued the dance until the song ended, stepping back to give a slight bow to Captain Messe. "A pleasure. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go see what the captain wants..." He gave a nod, and added, "Hopefully it leaves me enough time to do some more dancing...I owe at least one more dance to someone..." Messe was pleasant enough to dance with...but Dusk had gone to some pains to track him down and ask about being escorted by him, and he definitely felt that the least he could do was deliver on the promised dance. And, he admitted to himself, it was a task that he actually looked forward to, somewhat...

But he knew better than to say any of that to another woman. And he did fully intend to dance with Messe again, as well, before the end of the festivities...

But duty called. With another sigh, this one more resignation than being tired, he turned and approached Captain Muska. "You appear to have something on your mind, Captain," he said with an easy grin. "What can I do for you?"

Muska Grinned his apeish Grin and offered his forearm to Roy, Good evcening SGT MAJ Spencer.. I am here, because we were asked to attened. I believe the Admiral said, we could walk, smile, then go have fun outdoors, or stay as we would like?.... I was supposed to report to a Hermes person.. I chose to report to you...

Captain Tana watched the women in dresses dance , walk and talk, as if she was studing a battlefield.

................

Val was happy to take a little break,I know it sounds bad of me to say so, but i enjoy these balls. It gives one a chance to escape ... though there always seems to be something 'exciting' happen

....................

With a Bit of a chuckle, Arnie says,well, there will be some folks bouncing for certain... I give in about 20 minutes or so, before The Admiral Tells Shadow to Unleash Hemsly...

he take a could berries in put in a small bowl bark yellow and bright purple berries.

bit of a history lesson...when the scots came on board they had 80 people.. they..um...sorta strutted a bit and hemsly was 'picked' to fight the LC.. i guess, sorta like a 'champion' thing?.. Shadow won, damn near killed Hemsly, the SM stopped him..but... those two are great friends now?..I wager to say, either one of them would take a bullet for the other.

.........

McCloud and Cat moved across the floor, they seemed more the able to enjoy the softer dance music.

............

Will danced with Lady Canamore who seemed to be talkign softly, and seriously, he head turning every so often, so anyone who thought they might be able to read lips would be foiled.

..............

Howe looked over at Sam talking with Izzy and Lizzy, turnign his back as he asked for another drink and got some kind of 'mellon stick' that couple be eaten with very little mess.

Fitz came over with Chatty Smith, they both got crinks and started to chat with Howe.

.............

Shadow finally escaped and reached the safety fo the food tables...for now. His eyes would scan the upper risers of the steps that led down to the Ballroom floor. noting the movement of the Iron Guard.

GiGi and Steele came over, they seemed to be having fun...Hey LC?..how long do we have to stay at the party?

Shadow sipped his drink of some kinds Aqra fruit , started at the over the rim of his glass... then said,we're gonna crank it up soon..but you guys can always go outside....or change and go back to the beach...but Steele. Don't be a dumbass.. if you go to her place, not only won't i be ale to stop the hammer from coming down... I won't even try...

Steele nodded, Gigi looked miffed.

..Look? Gigi?..almost everyone one in this building, kills people for a living. Its what we do, one way or the other..some times? A bunch of ways!....and out there isn the dark..there are people ..just like us, who do the same thing, 'cept, they are bad guys...don't make thier job easy..

Gigi sighed , the two had a quick drink , before returning to the dance floor

...............

Mitch and Nikki took thier time at the table, There was a bit of a smile on Mitch's face.shouldn't be much longer before the music pumps up.

..........

Vaka and Meari tried to Dance. the sight was rather comical , and Vaka was clearly out of his Depth..he stared around at the Unifroms that seem to have more metal then cloth, and his unifrom only had a few pins.

The Undenese-ish Captain had left Dusk to Dance with NO-CA whose green Angel Skin set her aprat from every one but He-La DR -NO and any green folk that Sarah brought in.

Dusk stood Near Shadow he was talkign but looking away, she had a sly smile on her face as she sipped her drink.

Admiral St Gaul took a break from dancing with 'worthies' to walk among the guests with a drink in hand. She stopped at The Admiral and asked,..this seems , very quite for havign all these...fleet people..here?

There was a Grin on Hack's face as he sipped from his own drink, I am a 'Fleet People'...

she waved a dismissive hand,..yes...you are indeed....I do not see why it was so necessary yo bring the Iron Guard to Everest.. you dealt with alot of the main problems, did you not?

No, Admiral, not all. But I am hoping to rectify that soon.

My people could have settled the rest down... I would have made sure of that.....

Yes.... do you know Aqra is havign problems with the Southern hemisphere...seems the locals..that is to say..APF folks who settled there before we invaded, are causing some problems, as they seems to have a 'working relationship' with the Aqra. The troops have to fight them, almost as often as the Aqra.... I guess the Aqra, in turn, don't eat them, and allow them to fish and Hunt other water creatures?... one might say, it is alot like tribute...

..well... you need a firmer hand down there..getting paid off to help the enemy? that is no way for APF folk to be!

Hack sipped and smiled, then nodded emphatically ,..That's Just what I said..I am glad you agree!

Of Course Oliver!... The Fleet has to keep the APF safe!

"Thank you Ma'am." Orria answered politely.

Melia contented herself to dance with Zob, senses still alert. She returned a few of the stares with withering challenging stares of her own. But kept focused on both Zob and the rest of the room. Her gut instincts still trying to sus out the nature of the danger she was to some degree anticipating. Was it just so common a thing at balls that she automatically assumed something was going down? She wasn't sure but she saw the fight on the beach over vid and got Orria's account and as such she refused to settle until she knew the true purpose of the Iron Guard and where they stood.

And in that moment, his voice took on the unfeigned growl of the professional soldier stuck in decidedly non-soldierly activities.

Then he caught a glimpse of Dusk, and his mood softened slightly. "Of course, there's nothing that says that it has to be completely miserable," he observed, and gave a grin. "Please enjoy yourself, Captain. Just...be ready, as well." He gave a knowing grin, and a nod, as he added, "Now, if you'll excuse me...I believe there's another Captain that is expecting a few moments of my time..."

He drifted over to Dusk, a grin on his face as he said, in a low voice, "I've seen that expression before. Your dad gets it every time he's about to make trouble for someone that he considers too caught up in the gravity of their position..." A carefully subdued laugh colored his tone, and he spoke in a voice low enough that Shadow could hopefully not hear him over the background noise of everything else going on.

"Before you drop a match in that powder keg, could I get my dance? Before things go all to hell and I can no longer relax and enjoy it?" He gave a crooked grin as he extended a hand.

The Spa day was nice but I didn’t really engage in any conversation mainly because of the topics of choice so…I don’t feel like I made any huge gains in friendship there.” There was a small shrug. In all honesty, it didn’t bother her too much. She had long accepted the fact that she was just not destined to have a ton of friends or maybe she just hadn’t found the right group. There were those who played football that she could try and befriend or maybe find those who were into the same kind of dancing that her and Arnie were into…

Shadow relaxed a Bit.. Captain Levus looked like he was going to Leave NO-CA to 'cut in'. Shadow just gave a shake of his head, and the Undenese fellow found himself empty Handed as NO-Ca walked away .

I would have been on your LT, and that would have left 2...because your Med tech was worried about you drowning... and?.. if something would have Happened your buddies would have taken me down, there were 20 people that would have made sure i didn't get hurt... he sipped his drink.

20? there was like 50 people and those lizards there... Luke said.

Shadow nodded,..yeah? well.. there's folks who would have liked to see me get my ass kicked too... he loked at them with the co*cky smile.

The Luke and betsy started to laugh, and so did Shadow, Luke shook his hand , as did Betsy, and they went off to get another drink.

He gave her a bit of a grin, as he returned to their normal dancing posture. "That said, I do like the dress.

She talks into Roy's shoulder,..Grandmod asked if i wanted to transfer to the Hermes once. So i could be near Father and Shade? But i could not do that..somewhere areounf, 30 people on our ship, came with me from the ship i took over Command at The Battle of The Field..I could not leave them behind, and make them feel as if they were 'unimportant'...

Roll rubbed his mouth with a napkin and stood up, the fellow went to wave him down , with a smile.

..No Sir, Mr Shadow said, you always stand to shake a person's hand, 'less they're jerks.. he offered his hand to the Man, who smiled with a bit of a tilt of his ehad and shook Roll's Hand.

..Can i present, the Lady Haley, she is my Escort and helps with my larg training. I am a LArg Master Cadet...

Oh..Really..? both smiled at Roll as they Nodded hello's to Haley. I supposed that smaller one is yours?... do you train the bigger one too? the woman gave a sidelong Glance at her husband. hiding a quiver of a smile.

A voice behind them, Lyri, said,.. Cadet Roll?... why don't you Introduce the Largs...

the two people looked at a sweet smiling Lyri, the fellow may have looked a little longer...

This is Mila..she's not a Larg.. she's Doc Henry's puppy, she is really smart too.

The woman says,..the bigger one.. seems to be staring at us?

Yeah... he does that... I think he is tryign to figure out if you are good guys or bad guys..Larry eats bad guys..well..sometimes. He normally hasta wait until one of us says he can?...but..if he gets mad enough he'll eat first and thump his tail...

The Man and woman look at the two kids and the Larg that the little boy is rubbing , one snap and half of Roll would be gone, but here is no worry from him.

Roy chuckled. "He might...but if you were there all the time, he might also see that you can take care of yourself. Shade has demonstrated that in front of him, several times over, so Shadow doesn't worry too much about him." He paused for a moment, considering his words, before continuing.

"But he keeps seeing you at these things with escorts who don't respect him, or Shade...and that implies that they don't respect you, completely, either. And that worries him. He never expected to be a dad, at least not at this point in life, and he definitely didn't expect his children to mature so quickly. And I don't think his background involved being around that many girls when he was growing up...he hasn't really had a strong example of how to treat a daughter, and most of the women he knew before getting into the ESN were either someone to be protected or someone trying to exploit people. Since you're not in the latter category...and in his mind, you're still his little girl, he's protective. He doesn't want you hurt...and not just physically. He means well, but...well, subtlety has never really been his style of dealing with people."

He paused for a moment, before changing the topic slightly...he was, himself, still struggling a bit with the notion that Dusk was no longer 'Shadow's little girl'. "It's good of you to stay for those who came with you. A lot of officers forget that loyalty works both ways...your troops are most loyal to you when you're loyal to them. That's one of the hallmarks of a good command officer...and, I'm sure, is part of the reason your Grandmod has kept you in the Captain's chair there. Politically, it would be quite a reward to give her oldest, best captains, being in command of her flagship...she'd rather have a captain who values the people she's serving with over the position itself."

..I have heard people, when they do not know i am around, or do not know who i am. Though, it would seems impossible not to Know who Shade and I are?. Bit...Some people.. I mean..of all races fear Father... others show, out right contempt? and a small hand full think he is very good?... I do not know how he handles all that, wondering if every face he meets whats to shake his hand, or shake his throat!

..I get a little of that myself.... Granmod, as many who fear her.. i do not know how many 'want to be her friend'

Nikki sat with Mitch. They ate the food, it was not bad but Nikki felt like it was not 'Homemade' so to speak. It had that 'made in a factory' taste. She still ate it. She chatted with Mitch and anyone who wanted to talk with them. She did see Harry leave the party in a rather ruffled rush. She'd talk to her later about it and decided to let her cool off first.

Roy grinned and looked down at Dusk as she finished explaining her dilemma with not knowing how people felt. "That's one advantage to having a reputation as one of the meanest old bastards in the Fleet...people who don't genuinely like me rarely even approach me. I mean, even Colonel Cummings, who is as close to friendly to me as anyone I've seen him interact with, is still painfully conscientious about maintaining proprieties whenever we meet. But you compare the ground troopers, who actually have to work with me, with the pilots...who, aside from Shadow and one or two others, either seem to avoid me or minimize their contact with me." He chuckled a little.

"Best way to wind up with people around you who like you for who YOU are, and not for what your position or your connections happen to be, is to not worry much about what they think of you. Do your job, do it well, be fair to everyone until they prove they don't deserve it, and don't take yourself too seriously. Don't accept anyone at face value...don't chase them off, but let them show you who they really are before you become friendly with them." He shrugged slightly, and added, "It's not the most sociable way to live...and it doesn't work for everyone. But if you're in a position of authority...or if you have really important connections that could be exploited...you've gotta keep a secure perimeter until people show you that they're sincerely friendly, and not just looking for another stepping stone."

The music wrapped up at that point, and he stepped back and inclined his upper body to her, in a semi-playful bow, holding one hand in his. For a moment, he seemed to be deciding something...then he brought her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it gently.

And at that point, someone pointed out Shadow setting up, and Roy grimaced and rolled his eyes slightly...but brought Dusk's hand into the crook of his elbow, until the music started and she grabbed his hand. He started jumping...but the medals on his chest jangled, and he satisfied himself with standing with feet planted and pumping his fist in the air to the beat, a grin on his face as he watched Will's discomfiture with the attention focused on him.

Roy grinned a bit as he watched Dusk out of the corner of his eye. For all that she had matured quickly, physically, she was very reminiscent of a teen girl back on Earth...complaints about an over-protective father, a definite love of music, and irrepressible energy. Out of respect for the uniform, he was a bit less energetic about getting into the music than she was...but he certainly added his voice to the chorus. It was untrained, musically...but definitely a more pleasant tone than when he was barking out instructions to troops.

Those in the courtyard were also getting the same food.. Beef from Bura..Birds fro Astra, and bear-like creatures from The delta Colonies, dressed and cooked as the Mulls tradition holds.

Machins, not to be outdone By SHadow, took up the Mic,..I know I'm new to the hermes, But The Lady who came in on my arm isn't ... so this song is for here...and all you Ladies in your dresses and Unifrom!

A lot of the Ladies clapped as Gia, did her part by strutting in her short , Angel silk dress

...........

after that Song the Band Played a slow Dance,..one more? before you go do SGT MAJ things?, of course , Dusk pulling him out onto the floor, narrowed his answer choices.

Stefi was surprised by Shadow as he took the drink out of her hand and escorted her to the floor.

someone pay you? she asked as she put her hand on his shoulder.

its an assassination attempt , they figure i ruin your feet bad enough you wouldn't make it up the stairs

She smiled slightly,..I thought it might be something like that!

Admiral Hack took the Mic, and began to speak,..This is the Command group of the 'freighter' called The Mouse. They are here to have a bit of respite before thier sentencing ..which..has already been Conducted, but will be revealed later ....

He Looks around the Ball room,..SEC will...NOT..permit them to leave the Building... Please Continue on...

The Music started up again by the Band , while Hemsly and Brooks set up several songs to be played.

Captain Sefts had a co*cky grin, they wore red vests over thier 'dress uniforms' that they were permitted to retrieve. Sefts had a EMS Uniform... Ming-Ti had a Chinese Space Navy unifrom... Harly Bog had a Sol System Navy uniform. And Bogs wore a ESN Marine Uniform.

Hack approached Captain Sefts,I see all your people have some sort of Uniform...

Some of us , left our services , some were recruited from them... Lady V isn't picky whom comes to her side, as long as they serve the cause.

And what cause is that, Captain?

..Human Race first..let aliens beat and eat each other, as well as the Human race wins in the end.

..and the kids you feed to the Empire?

I don't feed them, i send them tom where Lady V wants them to go.

..you don't send them? they don't die...

..same could be said for you, Admiral.. you send 1000's to thier deaths , every jump off..so don't sound so superior

He gestured at the whole excessive display of the ball...it was one thing to have a grand celebration for a victory...he was still uncomfortable, but it made sense to celebrate. But this was flaunting resources in a gross display of wealth and prosperity, and he'd always lived with the idea that the truly wealthy and powerful didn't have to prove their status.

Outside another Big Ugly was landing , close to the ESN HQ. because of the size, it had to crush a few hedges, but now one seemed to worry , too awful much.

Roy and Dusk sat on a marble-like , stone bench.. Drop ship Marines began to unload and set up , Three Metal Glass containers, Much like those used in bio-labs to contain living creatures... these where about the size for a Demon... a hover cart came down the ramp as well with a Labcoat following the Maines , and whatever was on the Hover CArt, covered by a heavy tarp.

.....

A captain talked to The Lab Coat and COMed...

............

Inside the Ballroom, Admiral Hack answered his COM,, he had a dark, satisfied smile on his Face, as he approached Captain Sefts.Tell your people to get thier eats and drinks quickly.. your ride his here... you have 15 minutes

The Captain smiled a bit,..so..are we taking the long walk...we have a right to know...

Hack Turned on him his face an inch or two from Sefts,YOU..don't have any rights...at all. You should have been fed to the Largs....but, you won't be walkign anywhere, we arranged transport for you...gather your people, we gave you one last shot at food and drink, before you go, that's more then you gave any kids you transported...

CE-VA came over with a look of concern....You COMed?

Yes, in 15 minutes the Mouse's command staff will be leaving, i want you to cover , every second.

..of course, Admiral Hack, already done.

Captain Morris danced with Lilit once, as Bale and Miller sp3ent alot of dancing time together.

Roles and Bornberry would spread themselves around , but always find tome to get another slow dance in.

Shadow sat down at a Table, relaxed for the first time in a long while , drinking some kind of Astra fruit juice.

Hemsly fired up a song that had folks get up up and dance a bit faster, , more like shuffle dance.

Roy noticed the containers, making an educated guess that they were intended for use, somehow, in the punishment of the Mouse's command crew. Rather than have the reminder that duty would call again all too soon, he steered them to take seats with their backs to the impending spectacle.

"I don't do this very often," he confessed with an almost-guilty grin. He was smart enough to leave it at that, rather than talk about how getting more individually acquainted with women had consistently blown back in his face when he chose duty over personal devotion...talking about other women at the moment just seemed crass, to him.

As she scans the room, Melia growls under her breath seeing Bogs in a marine uniform. As a medic she'd suffered enough grief to earn the prestige of wearing the corps uniform as a member of the navy, the way she saw it Bog's pretty much deserved the death penalty for simply wearing it his other crimes were gravy on the death sentence.

While Shade took his turn with Maria Orria hung out on the side, and then enjoyed the creme cake delivered by Shadow.

LA-TS nods towards 4 Burian SEC officers in their dress greens dancing but lingering close to the three, as their handlers, and a little assurance that the Mouse's officers... specifically the last of the surviving crew of the Mouse didn't scurry off into a dark corner somewhere. Sarah smirked a little seeing Hack speak with Captain Sefts, she had of course some idea of what was coming. Had LA-TS had her way, which Sarah would have aprroved the leadership of the mouse would have simply starved or slowly suffocated in an airtight sealed cell forgotten by the rest of the universe.

The time came, and the Admiral asked General Stone and his staff to come down... when they Arrived to Stand By Admiral St Gaul, Admiral Hack, and Captain Si.

His first step is to Assist me in the punishment of the Mouse's Command crew,, Please CArry on with the Party, unless you wish to witness it.. there will not be much to see for Now

General Stone gives a hard Nod to the troopers , 4 of them close in on each of the Mouse's command crew, And March the up to the Steps, Admiral Hack makes certain Admiral St Gaul and General Fonte witness.

Shadow has to explain to french chef how to make a chicken sandwich with tomato-ish things on and some kind of blue condiment ... he followd a long with that sandwuch.

CE-VA hustled after with her CAM. The Board and Messe came out , along with Shade and Larry...( and who ever else came out to wacth.

St Gaul Gasped at the crushed hedges and the Big Ugly, Roles just laughed as he heard her swearing in french.

"The ball on Uden was delightful...I mean, aside from the attempted assassination attempt on me and Shadow and Will getting shot up. But, see, on Uden, there was good reason for a ball. We had just liberated Calimate...that was a tough battle, and an even tougher one staring us in the face, so it was time to celebrate the victory and reset ourselves for another battle." He grimaced.

"This?" He gestured at the building, the grounds...everything around them. "This is St. Gaul trying to show off how well Everest has been doing under her command. We're not really celebrating anything...we already celebrated the Delta Fleet football victories, but there hasn't been a significant battle fought anywhere around Everest since we took on Hyria." He shook his head, another grimace dashing across his face. "I mean, I love down-time, and I'm thrilled for an excuse to spend a little time with you...but this is all posturing...St. Gaul trying to show she doesn't need the Delta Fleet and Captain Si and Admiral Hack showing that you don't have to sell your soul in order to be affluent and attractive."

Admiral Hack's voice resonated with the introduction of General Stone and the announcement of the Iron Guard essentially taking over as Everest Security forces, and a warped grin crept into his expression. "And there's Admiral Hack starting to pull the rug out from under St. Gaul's feet...he didn't say it in so many words, but the fact that he's installing someone else, with as much or more authority than St. Gaul, to take over station security is tantamount to a declaration that she has either been derelict in her duty, or she has been incompetent in her command. She won't see it that way, of course...she'll likely take offense, because she's now no longer the sole voice of command on the station and she can't pull rank on her security chief...but her ego won't even acknowledge the notion that she has been anything less than exemplary. And I'm pretty sure Admiral Hack isn't done with her yet."

He could hear the commotion as the guards marched the officers from the Mouse out of the building and into the courtyard. "You want to watch?" he asked, jerking his head to indicate the scene unfolding behind them. "I'm pretty sure I know how it ends..."

Looking into Roy's eyes as he talked, she nodded when he asked if she wanted to see what was going to happen.

gettign Up and training , The saw Shadow and his soda and sandwich.. Beth Said,Really..you'er takign a sandwich and soda to see be get punished?

Shadow nodded with a frown,I know it looks bad, but..they didn't have Pizza...

Beth Just threw her head back and Groaned, the catch up to Captain Si

.............

The Admiral one one side, and general Stone on the other, Stood before the Metaglass Tubes.

The Hatches were open, and the 4 Command folks were brought over, all of them Looking a bit nervous.

Hack Nodded to CE-VA. Here we are at the sentencing of the Command staff, of the Freighter 'The Mouse'. They were found to have had children on board for transport to the Empire, and, used some of them to deter a chase ship who tried to board them... We will listen to Admiral Hack...

greetings APF.... Homeworlds,,and , especially EDT folks... You are all about to learn of a Ruling , that has been adjusted to fit these dark times...

If you engage in pirate activities ..and you are caught, you will be sent to a prison colony to work for the good of the APF and its colonies....Now? should you kill some one, you will be put to death according to the whims of the captain that captured you....

Pointing his finger at the Camera, he said,..Anything evolving the use of kids..well.. you'er dead. unless you surrender to the chase vessel and hope the captain has some measure of mercy

These four were takign a large batch of kids to the Empire, where they would be eaten by Empire types and EDT, and Sol System Command officers ... they also threw some of thsoe kids into space, to ward of the chase ship...

Hack held his hands out helplessly..But the law was amended after we took this folks prisoner.. thier crew,, was questioned and allowed to leave on thier own...but... the officers i promised to have them enjoy some food here before sentencing......

a wave of his hand and the SEC troopers grabbed the 4 people was they tried to struggle, a few punches and they were laid on the metal slab and Belted down witht eh think straps... The officers were shouting Questions, that hack, more or less ignored.

Hack truned back to the Camera, a smile, like one of a father trying to teach his child somethign important.When..kids get taken, especially Stem kids?... very few people worry about it..after all ? they are just Stem kids right?.. dozens die everyday in the stem....buit? the kids who get taken to the Empire are scared,,, often beaten and abused by pirates, until the end up at thier destinations... then.. they go through the most horrid way to die, one can imagine... being eaten alive, but creatures who would never have the Guts to meet APF warriors face to face in battle.... I thought long and ahrd about this.. so..here is the sentencing, that best fits the crime...at least..for now...

CE-VA shifted the CAM to watched three being slide into the Metaglass container. The officers were lokign around worried, Even Sefts was shaken.

These tube have Canisters on top that can provide air for...2 days or so...it will take the Big Ugly , 2 days to reach one of the moons of the delta Colony..so? these folks will have to wonder , where they will end up, and if they'll even make it

..but.. we needed to make it a little more intense? Right? So these four can have a bit of the same feelings the kids Have... soooo.... his arm waved to the LabCoat, who pulled the cover off of 4 , nasty looking stem rats.. they were drugged...

This is Doctor Kor Voken. He leads up the Animal warfare divison on Fuji... tell us about the Stem Rats.

The Doctor smiled and Nodded,Yes!..Of Course.... the Rats were selected from some several dozen we captured to test.. they are rugged to sleep.. should hold for another....5-6 hours?... when Stem Rats wake up, they are hungry....

Thank you doctor, please proceed...

One by one the stem rats were put in, the bottom of the canister. they were all close to three feet long and were 'curled' at the bottom , just under the Mouse's officer's feet.

So... as the Big Ugly heads towards the delta's.. our four prisoners, won't know if they'll get eaten, or not!... and..if they are eaten.. it will be a slow thing, much like slices being cut off you at a dinner table... we also have a fail safe, if the Big Ugly is approached by an unknown ship, the pods will jettisoned, much like the kids were..the best part? each Container has a CAM and Mic in... we'll be able to record the whole thing and broadcast it to Earth, and all Empire sectors

YOU CAN"T DO THIS!

Hack shrugged, arms out,They always say that..don't they? Even though, they did much the same to helpless kids.....

The Smile drops away, as The admiral's face grew hard as he stared into the CAM...My advice? if yo are a pirate, you best go and live in the Empire systems..... if you are makign creds taking kids and others and handing them over to the Empire.. your fate will be ..at least...this bad...

Alright General Stone...

Stone had the canisters shut and locked... the 4 people shouted and swore,, struggled against straps that were meant to hold Sanri and demons.. the canisters were taken aboard and Hooked up to 02...

in Minutes the Craft lifted off and headed to the docking arm entrances.

St Gaul looked horrified ,By the gods!..what kind of Monster are you... that's...that's the most cold Blooded thing i have seen in my life...

..Then? Admiral, you'll have to start getting out more...

Shadow waved his half eaten sandwich at Sefts, and turned to go back inside.

Captain Si and a cruel smile on her face, I would have cut thier arm, so the smell of blood filled those canisters...

St Gaul looked like she might pass out.

If Roy was shaken by the punishment, it didn't show. "Eaten alive, en route to the colonies..." He shrugged.

"If any of them were smart, they'd actually keep fighting as hard as possible against the straps for just as long as they could...they'll die faster, from oxygen depletion, because that two-day supply is probably not intended for two days of extreme exertion. If they can keep fighting long enough, strenuously enough, they might be able to burn enough oxygen to keep the rats groggy when the drugs wear off. The ones who give up in resignation don't stand a chance, though." He turned away as the Big Ugly launched, snorting softly at the sight of St. Gaul making her protestations to Hack.

Grabbing a couple of food items, he popped one in his mouth, chewing for a moment. "I hope they at least sterilized the rats...or made sure they were all the same gender. I know I'd be mad as hell if I was overseeing the Delta Colonies and someone sent a breeding pair of Stem Rats. They should be able to kill them in the tubes...but rats are sneaky little bastards. They could get out and get away." He bit a small cheese ball off the serving stick that skewered it and chewed.

"And there, we see how this starts to differ significantly from the ball on Uden...although I don't think anyone's going to invite me and Shadow into a courtyard and try to kill us, so I shouldn't get too disparaging here, I suppose..."

Shadow shrugs,then? the officers will get to ride out thier whole trip...

Shoey Nodded as the BU entered the entrance to the docking arms...what happens if the Rats don't finish the job?.. I mean, those are big rats?..but they aren't the biggest i've ever seen, what if they just chew off some bits here and there, ...

Two day trip to the Delta's outer most moon?..I'm pretty sure you die..if not, then the Gods of Luck favor them, but.. the worse thing to worry about , is Lady V
trying to save them as a PR stunt for her people?... If that Happens, they get dumped into space..they'll never fine all 4...

Shoey shook his head... shoulda let the Largs eat them.... make sure...

Larry and Shade followed behind, Shade Bleeped a thumbs up...Larry just snorted.

.................

Admiral St Gaul looked at the Admiral and Captain Si.It think i need to...compose myself a bit, I will be back in a little....

The Admiral shakes his head,..no..i shouldn't think you will... You will stay with at the Ball for, at least...another Hour, before you leave for anywhere but the Ballroom, restrooms...

General Stone?.. If you would be so kind as to pick one of your Lady Troopers to ...stand watch..over Admiral St Gaul, for the next hour?..You know..Just in case she needs help, coping with the horrific realization, that bad guys need to die badly?

Already Done, Admiral Hack. And, I would Like to take this chance to thank you for allowing the troopers i gave you to join in the ball... Even if a pair of them seems to have fallen down , once or twice?

Hack looked over his shoudler with a grin,well, they are part of us now... no sense on waiting for them to join in the fun, right? As far as thier Miss haps, they might have tripped over Shadow in the surf... really crowded down there this morning...

The General grinned.....well, they all volunteered, I'm sure they all have a reason, outside of 'duty' and such...but...when the shooting starts, they'll be worth thier weight in Creds.

Sometime , before the Night is over, You should seek out SGT MAJ Spencer and Captain Messe.. They can fill you in on some of the actions we had here on the station...

... Messe?..I should have sent her to The Line a year ago, she has caused many problems, she has many pages of demerits for failing to 'cease and desist '..she kept persevering.. I wanted to transfer her the week before The Fleet arrived, but was met with a 'No transfer Order" from the Fleet and the APF!

Yes...that's right....I issued that order in partner ship with the APF... there is going to be a mass transfer, Admiral St Gaul.... The fleet needs pilots, troopers and officers.... and its time to pump some new blood into this station.

St Gaul almost stopped walking as she Looked at General Stone,Is that why you are here?

Partly, Admiral. 100,000 Iron guard were brought our here in transport freighters .... The Everest is getting 94... the Hermes... 6... the rest are going to be parceled out in Unit 'servings', so every Cap ship has some.. the remained will get housed here, on the Everest to help train others, and to be ready to replace any that fall..

Admiral St Gaul had a far away look in her eyes as she Processed the information...

General Stone asked Admiral Hack,Admiral Hack? If I may be so Bold? Would it be possible for me to have a Dance or two with Captain Si?

Si looked over her shoudler amused, The Admiral replied,..You'd have to ask her, I'm her Husband, not her jailor...

General Stone actually colored a bit as he Nodded,Of Course, Admiral, Captain I meant to disrespect I....

Relax General Stone.... let us get to the floor for the next songs....

and the two walked of ahead of The Admiral and most of the others.

Admiral St Gaul snorted,why did he not ask me to dance?

Admiral St Gaul? You have an officer who found in the Martian dust for years, hit the ground on several major campaigns, and is training, what is one of the

Hennings nodded as he came up along side,He's right, St Gaul . I've known Nil for decades, I still try to steal a dance or two when i am able!

walking into th Ball , the music was thumping as Hemsly was playing His List... Brooks was holding up a food tray that he wrote on with a marker that said, ' SLOW SONGS NEXT"

QUI!...but, that is not all the bad places, if they turn hard over and sail between Bura space and Uden space... they can reach The Roussians...who..we know are in league with the Empire, and support the EDT.

I have sent this information to Roy and Ze Admiral.. at least they both know... I wanted to tell you in person, so you would not be surprised at a later date..

When Nikki sings Lizzy takes Izzy by the hand and they go dance to the beautiful song. Lizzy is almost in tears, she thinks she could have lost Izzy, and who knows she could be shot down on her next jump off. That is why Lizzy use too live wild and free, becasue one of her favorite lines," It is better to burn out then too fade away." jumped into her head, that is how she use to live her life, now since she met Izzy everything was different. Lizzy cared deeply about Izzy but the song made her think How would she live with out Izzy if something happened, or if she had to leave, or she went home to her mom. All this went through Lizzy's head as she danced with Izzy holding her tight, she had this bad feeling because of Izzy's injury things could change drastically for Izzy. Lizzy kisses Izzy and smiled at her when Nikki finished the song. They then headed over and got another drink.

Roy nodded. "Kinda my point...they are descended from the toughest, most aggressive rats that ended up getting shipped out here. They survived and bred where others either starved or got eaten, and then kept surviving in an environment that isn't exactly friendly and welcoming to life. It's hard to get rid of rats...I've seen someone hit one with a board and it barely slowed down...these are exponentially tougher."

He shrugged. "I see the poetic justice in hog-tying them and letting them endure being eaten alive...or the uncertainty of knowing whether or not you'd get eaten alive. Personally, I'd just as soon tie 'em to a board and slowly space them, face-first, so they can feel the gas in their bloodstream separate and give them the bends. Then you KNOW they're dead and you don't have to worry about propagating an invasive species of highly aggressive vermin." He shrugged. It wasn't his decision to make.

"I should go and offer my respects to General Stone. We haven't kept in touch at all...you generally don't get to know your drill instructors that way, especially when they get new orders halfway through boot camp...but his was a name I was glad to hear."

Shadow took a forkfull of some kind of meat that had some form of beans in a Blueish sauce.1st?.. Its LC.... you haven't earned the right to call me 'Shadow', new york or no new york.. he waved the fork a bit,.. now? those mercs.. i would have loved to see them die like Marris did....but you gonna like the images..right?. Stem Kids are called Stem Rats..and the Mercs were takign them to be eaten, or used as currency, that would have them end up the same way? I think its only fitting, Stem rats should eat them... won't be the same... You saw the Vids..right?... Those kids, and people.. slow painful death...

There was still a lot of room for things to go wrong, the soon it did the sooner she could stop worrying. She was torn between finding her way towards Roy, or even Shadow for a chance at getting some idea of what the night held, but by the same token she was nervous about putting too much distance between Shade and Orria with tensions so high.

Roy stepped up to General Stone with a kind of respect that rarely showed in his demeanor, even with Admiral Hack it was only seen on the most formal of occasions. "General Stone, sir, it's an honor to meet you again. Sergeant Major Roy Spencer..." Given his position, it was almost a given that Stone knew who he was, especially since his promotion had been highly irregular and would have stuck in the memory of most senior officers. But that didn't stop Roy from observing the formalities. Even after a quarter-century, the respect commanded by a good drill instructor dictated some of his behaviors in the moment.

I never made it off-planet until Admiral Hack decided he needed a Marine sniper on the Hermes, but I kept hearing reports about your work on Mars."

She would spend the majority of the night dancing with Lizzy, with the pair of them taking the occasional break to grab a drink and quietly talk to one another about whatever took their fancy, with them steering clear of the more important topics of conversation for the time being. When the officers from The Mouse were lead away for their punishment there was a brief look of curiosity in Izzy's eyes as she watched them walking away but she would make no move to follow them. After all if everything went to plan then very soon she wouldn't be in the business of having to witness such things, which judging by the way a rather green looking doctor Henry came running in to use the rest room was a very good thing indeed.

It was after the current song had come to an end and they were collecting a drink from the table that Izzy would softly speak in the quiet, almost shy voice she'd been using ever since she'd returned from the IS, like she was scared to raise her voice above a whisper lest she attract the ire of everyone in the room or cause another wall to suddenly explode in front of her "It's getting a little warm in here...would you like to go and sit outside for a little while?" she asked, wanting to escape the crowded room for a few minutes, also she'd drunk perhaps a little too much wine and hoped that the cool "Night" air would help clear her head a little.

Leaving the ballroom via a side door, the young couple would step into one of the adjoining gardens where they would take a seat on a stone bench beneath a trellis of climbing flowers that as well as filling the cool night's air with their scent would also offer them a small measure of privacy from the other couples currently walking the grounds.

It was as they were sitting together that Lizzy would once again raise the question of her immediate future, leaving Izzy surprised that she'd managed to hold out this long "I'm not sure really...I guess first thing I need to do is speak with the Sergeant Major or Captain Si about transferring to SEC, even if it's just walking corridors or working in the QM stores, then I need to hand in my notice and then...well...I guess I'll just have to see what happens" she quietly explained as she gently held Lizzy's hand within her lap. As much as she understood her girlfriend's desire for her to find something that she truly loved doing, Izzy simply didn't know what that was. With her dreams of being a reporter having soured pretty rapidly she was loathed to rush into something else and risk it happening all over again, though she was pretty sure that being a trooper wouldn't be her calling in life and would at best be a stepping stone to what she really wanted...whatever that was.

It was as she was mulling over the possibilities that she would suddenly let out a delighted giggle "Oh look, my flower!" she cheerfully said before pointing out a young Cherry Blossom tree a short distance away from where they were sitting, it's delicate pink flowers littering the otherwise pristine lawn "Don't worry about me Lizzy, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually" she softly said as she admired the tree and it's flowers before leaning in to give Lizzy a long and lingering kiss.

You know I will help you as much as I can ."

Lizzy held her close, and after Izzy mentioned the Cherry Blossom tree as her flower, Lizzy would file that information for later. Lizzy replied, " Very beautiful just like you Izzy." After Izzy said she would figure it Lizzy smiled and replied," I know you will my love, if you need anything just ask ok." Lizzy saw Izzy admiring the beautiful flowers, then they had an amazing wonderful heart felt kiss. After what seemed like hours Lizzy stopped the kiss and said, " I love you Izzy, I will stand by you no matter what you want to do from here. I just hope you can stay on the Hermes my love." Lizzy would kiss Izzy deeply crying at the fact that Izzy might have to leave the Hermes.

Roy gestured for a non-alcoholic drink, and grinned as Stone related part of the tale of how he went from wearing sergeant's stripes to stars, nodding agreement at the assessment that not all officers were useless. He was about to answer about Shadow when Stone continued, and he nodded. "Well, I can tell you plenty about Shadow, but it all boils down to this...he's on our side, and he's determined to win the war, and if anyone from our side gets in his way, they'll get run over or worse. But I would have been dead a month or two into this tour were it not for him." He gave a solemn nod in Shadow's direction.

"As for what's going on around here...I'll put it this way. I'm actually a little surprised St. Gaul didn't get stuffed into a tube, as well. Maybe without a rat in it. But Everest is a sh*t-show. Their comm specialist has been working from her own estate since just after last time the Hermes came through here...because she was getting grafted onto a Creshian breeding pod and churning out God-only-knows-what-kinds of Creshian hybrids and UEs. Dr. Christie led a team into a bio-tech lab under the mountain...and found a bunch of kids in cages...and a few that couldn't be rescued because whatever surgical procedures they'd been put through were unreversible and the kids weren't entirely human anymore. We helped Captain Messe break up an operation that was collecting kids to load onto the freighter whose command crew just got caged up with the rats. And the most St. Gaul has said about any of it is expressing annoyance at how the chaos we've caused is going to impact business on the station. It's like she KNEW all of it was there, and might even have been taking kickbacks from it. Hell, there was an EDT team posing as EverSEC at the football stadium, trying to round up kids...and when I broke it up and brought two of the kids up to her box, she had the audacity...or stupidity...to recommend that I just turn them out and send them on their way. If she's not complicit, she is most certainly not competent." He shook his head.

"Messe was the first one to say anything to anyone from the Hermes about things not being entirely kosher, back when we made our first visit to Everest. Pretty sure she's been a thorn in St. Gaul's side ever since, based on notes on her service record and some of the comments St. Gaul has made about her. Don't know if St. Gaul outright hates her, but there's certainly no love lost between 'em, and I'm sure if Admiral Hack hadn't appointed Messe personally as Security Chief here, St. Gaul would have her monitoring sewage treatment or something..."

The Iron will be welcome...but they're being put in among steel. If they're smart, the Iron Guard on the Hermes will become THE unit everyone in the Corps wants to emulate. If they aren't...well, there's a reason the Iron Age came to a close on Earth when steel became prevalent."

He shrugged, and added, "Frankly, I'd have been happy to see you aboard the Hermes. But there is definitely a greater need. sh*t, sir, the Hermes is about the only place in the whole damned galaxy where your leadership wouldn't immediately improve the situation, and that's just because the people we've got in command there are as lethal a team as you could ever hope to put together and you'd just be redundant. The Board members facilitate anything diplomatic we have to do...and they're solid in a fight...but you'd just be another piece of brass, there, instead of being THE brass, here." He grinned, and added, "I've had a few words with the LT in charge of the unit for the Hermes...he's been warned, they can get squared away, or they can get bowled over, but the Hermes isn't gonna change for them. We've got five years at the point of the spear, leading the charge. You don't mess with that kind of winning formula."

Well, You Hero is seeing what it it like to be famous.... No one heard of him before One-eye's were discovered with those damn, portable worlds. he chuckled a bit.

You know? When the Admiral and I fought , those many years ago, it wasn't any differant then most Fleet vs Corps bar fights.....but he was never angry during the fight? I was.. i wanted to teach this pilot a thing or two..... but when he downed me for the last time, two one my men charged in?... Then...I saw him mad, he broke an arm. and a Leg, like he did it every day, I enevr did find out why he didn't do that to me..

he starts to walk again,You learn alot about people you fight beside..or fight?... I knew he was goign to be something... but i would be Lying if i would have said i knew he was goign to create the largest fleet in The Black

stopping at the drink table near where they had walked, the General gets another beer...I don't have to tell you this?..

And then he noticed the two Nivarians, and Nifty, being stopped. "If you'll excuse me, sir...I see trouble brewing over no good reason." He jerked his head in the direction of the brewing confrontation. "I'll be back..."

He headed directly for the situation, speaking up while he was still several feet away. "What seems to be the problem here, Private?" he asked, his eyes on Nifty. He could have asked the guards...but they were doing their job, and they weren't his troops to command, aside from his position as SM of the Corps...and this was not a situation that demanded Corps-level intervention.

Disna spoke up, Doctor Christie said he would come down, when it was later, we felt there would be no problem with us comign in late, dressed as we are... we intend to go back down to the beach since the Largs will be watching of the Transport shuttle and the kids.

I see no reason while the young one cannot have his rifle, should he try to shoot someone, everyone would see him ready it...

The 2 striper who had Stopped Nifty, ( to thier credit, Disna and Puskie were allowed to enter, but they stood with Nifty) said,Look? Kid? This is a FAncy Dress Ball... i can see you guys getting in the door dressed as you are, since there isn't anything Formal..but you can't walk around with that cannon shouldered on you...

The General Followed Roy, staying a good yard or so behind to watch the confrontation.

Jax and Sneak were talking to Shadow and Pointing in Nifty's direction, they were half way across the room, But the crewman where at the main entrance , that was always to remain clear(all 5 doors).

..................

Meanwhile, The Admiral watched the Ballroom clock as it closed in on Midnight. they had 20 minutes.

......

Howe gave her a soft hug,..you did well..people enjoyed it, some stopped talking to listen... our After parties and such,, is good practices for some...gods know Shadow needs all the practice he can get, But you and the others Ladies, should leave the Service and go into a Vid Career!

...........

As Meari and the others Sat down, Shade went up with Shadow and Beth to Answer Vinnie and the Iron Guard's 'song off'.

A Sanri who was a bit Thin for a normal Sanri warrior, but still showed the height and muscle as he came over to the Undense maiden

Good evening... I am...SGT Frakas of the Sanri scout troops... I have found, few earth women who wish to dance, and some of those who do, ask...concerning questions?... I have been watching you?.. Would you mind a dance or two?

Vaka was on the floor as the last fast song was ending with Lippen, getting ready to Dance, Thought the little occui seemed a bit lost, he did seem to be 'making his way' through the new experience.

.........

Admiral Hack broke away as two suits were zeroing in on him, Captain Si 'intercepted' as she asked one of them if they would care to dance... which stopped them both in thier tracks.

Hack finally stopped at Sarah and Rivets as they came off the floor , for a drink.Sarah?... I hate to interupt the evening, but... Lets say...12:15.... a Call would be sent to The BU24....from a Burian vessel, warning them of a possible 'unkown frieghter' in the area that may...or may not be..a Phantom Raider? This of course, would
mean they would have to dump any sensitive cargo and return to the station, rather then risk losing the BU and its crew...if they scan wide enough the BU will, indeed
find a Civie Freighter out there, somewhere...perhaps a destroyer or Corvette, might
escort the BU back, before any tragic loss of life?

Rivets grunted a laugh as he handed Hack a scotch.

..............

Dusk was having a bit of a confrontation herself with a Udenese Colonel and a Captain, they both seemed rather put off about somehting.. and Dusk wasn't giving them any foothold for argument.

Lilit watched concerned, her eyes went o Shadow first, but he was in discussion with a younger Trooper and a waitress woman..., she, herself was tied down by an Udense Major , a Calimate Colonel and Captain Morris as they bantered about the last few battles.

After singing Nikki got down with a bit of help from Helmsly, such a gentleman. moving to Mitch they danced with the song-off with many of the others. She like the song Sam was singing. Her voice just an octave or to above her own. it complimented the song. When she went back to dancing Mitch had her part way in a spin when they bumped, which as crowded as the floor was, was not uncommon. Smiling she apologized as all four stopped a moment listing to Shadow and others sing. Nikki got a bit of an idea. "Would you like to try a duet? I know a great song just for the Iron Guard" she looked at Sam hopefully.

Roy let out a long, slow sigh, before answering. "Private...do you see anyone else from the Hermes in here carrying anything larger than a sidearm?" He knew the answer, but he gave Nifty a moment to think about it.

"The Iron Guard is here at ADMIRAL HACK's request. They are providing security with the Admiral's blessing." He spoke in calm, reasoning tones, with an undercurrent that left absolutely no question that he was deadly serious. "Are you prepared to make an argument to the Admiral about why you, alone among ALL the Hermes crew, should be carrying a sniper rifle at a dress ball? About why the troops he approved to provide security for this event aren't good enough to relieve you of your weapon in an environment where you would never need it, because literally everyone else here from the Hermes is armed?"

He considered continuing, but figured this was a good time to let the words percolate in Nifty's mind. Instead, he stood there, silent, with an expression that indicated he was expecting an answer.

Lizzy's heart jumped, and her eyes where full of love. As Izzy looked at her bracelet, Lizzy smiled clinked them together gently, and gave Izzy a hug and passionate kiss. After the kiss Izzy said it was time to head back and dance, Lizzy smiled stood up put out her hand to help Izzy up and said," Yes we should head back in who knows what exciting things might happen next. I wonder if Sam will sing again she has a beautiful voice someone should sign her for a Vid deal." Lizzy giggles but she was serious she thought Sam was that good of a singer.

Sam giggles at the Vid Career comment and replied," Oh Steve I am no where near that good, am I? Well lets head to the dance floor shall we, if you want I can sing more later?"

Sam and Howe headed for the dance floor, they had just started to dance, when Nikki bumped into her. Sam almost fell over being so small, but Howe was holding her as they danced and made sure she didnt fall. Sam waved off the apology, and smiled at Nikki. Then Nikki asked her to do a duet with her, Sam looked at Howe then back to Nikki and said," Sure I would love too, so you thought I was good as well Nikki? I just sing in the shower and Steve has given me the confidence to sing in public." Sam would smile and say hi to Mitch as well.

Sam kisses Howe on the cheek and says," I will be right back, I hope I know the song she wants to sing." Sam followed Nikki to the Vid area to do their duet.

Meari was about to get up and head that way when a Sanri approached her and asked her to dance. Meari smiled at Frakas and replied," Pleasure meeting you SGT Frakas, I am SGT. Meari Udenese Commando, member of Hermes SEC and Granmod of War Lord Lilit. I would love to have several dances with you, but would you mind if we checked in on my cousin Captain Dusk, she looks like she needs some assistance SGT.

Meari smiles at the Udenese Colonel and Captain, Meari checked them out but for combat capabilities and what weapons she could see.

one of them, the Blonde just gave Shade a smartassed stare, and turned his back.

Meari smiled at the Colonel, he may have the skill to take Meari down one on one,but Meari knew if either of these two started something she would have back up in seconds.

Meari then looked at the Captain, then back at Dusk and she said to Dusk," Oh he insists on dancing and grabbing your backside." Meari then turns to the Captain and says," Sir if you touch my cousin's backside again without her permission, it would be very very bad to do so.

I wear this dress, because i can!... And I have given you warning... you best move off and find some one who thinks your behavior is flattering.... I find it distateful, and you will be missing a hand next time, you try such a thing!

The Colonel Looked with Amusem*nt at the Sanri,what do you think SGT?

... I am but a SGT... But I follow Oliver Hack, because he is a warrior.... if i wanted to take orders froma desk?..I ahve one in my quarters..... As far as the Captain? I would not want to be him, should he cross the line... there are too many people here who frown on such things... and...you would also have to contend with an angry LC?... that is, if you were still breathing...sir...

Meari looked respectfully at the Colonel and replied," Sir if he should Fall I would make sure what he was fighting for fought on without him and finished what he started Sir. Also Sir his troops will risk their live to save his, Sgt Call did just that, and if I had seen the blades I would have jumped in front as well. As Sgt Farask said, he is a Warrior in the true sense, heart and soul, he doesnt wake up and part of his day to be a warrior and a Leader. He wakes up a warrior and a Leader that I will follow to the gates of Hel and fight by his side to destroy the Empire Sir." What the Admiral did on the One Eye Jack world really instilled in Meari how much of a true warrior and Leader Admiral Hack was, that is when she realized she would follow him anywhere.

Meari looks at the Captain her eyes turning black, she says to him," I could just go tell LC Shadow now that you touched his daughter's backside without her permission, how do you think that will turn out, but dont worry if you do touch her ass again you will wish for a quick death." She will keep her eyes locked on the Captain.

She then smiles at Frakas and waits for the men's reactions before doing anything, still on guard for combat, her hand is close to her combat knife.

If you'll excuse me Admiral I'll be checking on that regular patrol and ensure it departs on time. excusing herself she heads directly for Sam.

Sam, I need you to check on something for me. Please check on our scheduled patrol of the Gloved Claw and Chill Grip to meet and escort BU24 and ensure if they've not left already they depart immediately and make all speed to rendezvous with BU24 and complete a short escort to the edge of the Everest system and ensure the vessel and its crew and cargo make it to the edge of Everest space intact and unmolested, she says mentioning both the current burian vessels on standby duty at the moment implying some urgency without giving away the risk incase there was a mole.

Will could not get free of the Suits and dresses that would surround him, Cora and Ellen did thier part, sometimes one would take him to 'dance'.. and sneak off to the otherside of the room, but.. a crowd would soon form there as well..

LT Cross came over,not used to this, I bet..someone esle being Mobbed...

Shadow craned his neck backwards, he chuckled a bit when he saw who it was and looked forward once more. I don't envy him... I used to it, i use it as a platform, sometimes. That poor guys he wasn't trained for that..

and you were?

..sorta? I eman.. the academy didn't have Hero 101, but we elarned how to deal with the press, and fans and such... The ESN knew, if we were any kind of successful, piltos would be the 'big thing"..it has been that way in almost every war...is it right?.. I dunno.. guys on the ground die and do hero stuff...but all anyone sees is an aircraft with a number, and how many kills they have.

..and the press?

yeah? you try to help them out..right?.. I made the mistake a couple times... Introduced a reporter to the #2 person on Bura, and was slapped down for it...seeing what happens since then, i am no longer surprised?... That Half Angel? she busting her Ass trying to do good...we had a few words as well. but she's a trooper and settled right in...

..how about all those Kills..

can't say for the other Fleets...but the delta Fleet..you earn your kills.. I have 157... there were..i think..37 unconfirmed...

so you have 194 ?

Shadow shook his ehad with a grin,..nope... 157. Captain Morris is strict... if there is a question..no one gets the kill..., sometimes, if a pilot dies on thier first sortie, and there is a questionable kill on his CAMs, he'll let the pilot have it, if nothing esle the family can say 'he got one"...once you get your first kill.. that's it.. you earn..every..damn..one..

Missy walked up next to Dusk, her evening gown a deep saffron to complement her hair.
The director of business from the LG01 uncomfortably at her shoulder. He wasn't sure about this bumping around with the other suits but the Porcines were born to it. "Patience little one, they are just men, and seem to have little understanding of reality when they step into a formal setting."

She flips her hand at the Colonel "It would be gentlemanly of you to get the Lady Dusk a drink right now don't you think?"

He had been handed an excuse to leave on a silver platter, hopefully in the light of Dusks rage he will wisely retreat. If not Missy will glare at him till he does.

If so Missy would look at Dusk, almost a little sternly. "I know you haven't been a woman for long, but men can be quite dense. The first instance a man lays a hand on you, slap it. Slap it quickly, slap it hard, and don't commit your emotions or any words to it. He isn't worthy of them. You want people to hear a loud crack and turn to see that clown making a spectacle of his injured wrist while you demurely walk away leaving the spot light on his folly.

Roy nodded as Nifty and the corporal reached an understanding. "I'm sure Corporal Nessn will take exemplary care of your rifle. The General here knows how important a good rifle is to me...I'm certain everyone under his command has been taught the proper care and feeding." He gave a grin, nodding to Corporal Nessn and waving for Nifty to come on into the ball.

"You've gotta understand, Nifty...if you're going to attend events like this, there are certain sacrifices that you have to make for the sake of decorum. You think I like being trussed up in this thing?" he asked, looking down at his dress jacket. The move was oddly stiff, because the collar on the jacket could gouge painfully against his Adam's Apple if he got careless about how he did it. "Now, feel free to mix and mingle...but be careful how you interact with any of the civvies. We're still sussing out who's actually backing the APF and who's just using the security of an APF station to pad their bank accounts with business benefitting our enemies, and even the ones who like us are still not used to having real warriors around...they've been dealing with St. Gaul for years. They're gonna give you crap about not being dressed for the ball...laugh it off. They might give you crap about some other stuff. The only directive I'm going to give you on that is, don't throw the first punch. I don't care if you finish it, but don't start it. And if you finish it, try to keep the bloodshed minimal...don't want someone dragging their fancy ballgown through a puddle of it..." He rolled his eyes, showing his general opinion of the overly-fancy attire being sported by some present.

His comm pinged at about the same time he heard Dusk's voice angrily cutting through the background noise, and he glanced over to see the Captain surrounded by a small cluster of bodies, mostly other Udenese. He glanced down at the comm message, grimacing at the expression on the face of the man in the picture...but seeing the look on McCloud's face told him the guy was trouble. Still...given what he'd just said to Nifty, he hoped the private hadn't caught a good look at the image, and the grip McCloud had on the man's throat...

"Duty calls, Private, Corporal...General Stone, you might want to follow on this, so you get a clearer idea of just how some of our allies comport themselves..." He gestured, indicating the direction he was going to go, before turning and moving through the crowd toward Dusk, as he watched the exchange grow...well, not really 'heated', but definitely more intense.

"Captain Dusk," he said, with all due formality, as he bowed slightly to her. "I think I've taken care of my formal duties for a few minutes...would you care for another dance?" he asked. He gave a slight nod to the Udenese captain and colonel, but otherwise ignored them for the moment. His eyes flicked for a moment to Missy, recognizing her, and giving her a more formal nod than either of the Udenese officers, before settling on Meari...her posture and her hand on her knife were both noted, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he gave an almost imperceptible shake of his head. Granted, if someone from the Hermes was to start an actual fight with the two, it would be best if it was her...it could be excused as a matter of Udenese or even familial honor, given her relationship to Dusk. But it would be better if nobody from the Hermes started it. He was just glad Shadow hadn't already homed in on the situation...

Roy looked back at Stone for a moment, with an expression that made it clear he didn't find those words helpful. "Fascinating," he said, looking at the Colonel. That was the easiest target...

"Perhaps the Colonel can detail to us his extensive combat record, upon which he justifies his authority to offer any critique at all of Admiral Hack's leadership style?" He fixed the Colonel with a gaze that was all too clearly questioning whether the Colonel had ever commanded anything more impressive than a clean-up squad policing the battlefield after the fight was over.

Still looking at the Colonel, he added, "As for the captain...if he can't keep his damned hands to himself, by all means, tear his arms off and bludgeon him to death. If his physical stature is as grand as his morals, it should be almost effortless."

In reply to Nicole Rutledge (msg # 636):

Sam smiled and had a great time dancing and singing with Nikki, she really got into it and was having a great time. Once they where done Sam smiles at the crowd and heads off stage with Nikki. She give Nikki a big hug and says," Thank you that was fun, you sing great I have never had any training I just sing."

Sam then would keep smiling and head for Howe, when Sarah came to her. Sam listened and got her work face on. Once Sarah was done Sam smiled and replied," Of course Ma'am that scheduled patrol should be leaving shortly I will just make sure everything is ready for their departure and their rendezvous with BU 24 and it's safe passage." Sam smiles and winks at Sarah, she knew there was no such patrol scheduled and that this BU24 could be the missing ship for the piece of Lady Sam thought, she wasnt sure but she knew it was important.

Sam then stepped away from the crowd and tried to find a quieter place to make all her calls. Sam then got on her special coded comms and then began to send out the orders of the Gloved Claw and Chill Grip to follow BU24, intercept and fully inspect the ship BU24. Sam put an immediate rush on the two ships departure and to use all speed to intercept ship before it leaves Everest space.

In reply to Isobel Sakura (msg # 639):

Lizzy smiled at Izzy as they walked back into the Ballroom, after Izzy said the war cant last forever, Lizzy replied," No I hope it doesnt, and maybe you will have a vid star as your friend, she is amazing." Then Izzy asked about if Harry could sing, Lizzy smiled and remembered the song she sang with her at Lizzy's birthday party. Lizzy replied," Yes Harry can sing, she has a wonderful voice but she gets really really bad stage fright." Lizzy tried to keep the smile on her face, but thinking of her birthday party that was the day the image of her father was cracked wide open and she finally saw what her Father truly was. Lizzy thinks what would have happened if she didnt change her name would she have found her mother's message, would her father have gotten away with killing her and everyone on the Neutron. Then she just saw her Father being eaten alive by the plasma his screams as his body was slowly eaten away. Lizzy fought back the tears as they walked towards the dance floor.

Seemingly like on cue, Sam and her wingmate Nikki where singing a duet, and they where amazing. Lizzy smiled at Izzy as they began to dance, they would fast dance to Nikki and Sam's song but the next slow song Lizzy would hold Izzy tight. The death of her Father had affected her a lot more than she had realized, it was something she would have to deal with and come to terms with, and she knew she would do it but it has changed Lizzy forever.

Nikki smiled in agreement when the song was done and headed off stage as well. she was not smiling so much as she could see Dusk, a Colonel and a Captain having a rather intense and unpleasant conversation. Others around her rather avoiding helping, save for Missy and Roy. Nikki walked up listened a moment then spoke "Evening Sirs I am Ensign Rutledge. May I ask what the problem is? I would rather resolve this without a scene seeing as we are at a formal event" she looked at the Colonel. She could not help it, as far as she knew Dusk was a minor being harassed by midlevel brass. She was trying to be diplomatic.

Meari watched both men carefully, with her combat senses ready for battle. She watched closely, as Missy spoke and then Roy showed up. Meari could be seen relaxing a little bit when she sees Roy knowing if these two started something he would have her back. She did move her hand a little bit away from her knife when she picked up on Roy's subtle nod no. Meari knew it would be bad to start something, she was not going to do that, she would only defend herself and her cousin.

Meari began to calm down and then looked at Roy with a look of I will follow your lead SM, she did look to see if Roy wanted her to go dance or stay as backup in case these guys tried something against Dusk. She did not speak she just waited for everyone's responses and what would happen next. She did stay close to Frakas.

When Nikki arrived Meari nodded to her but Nikki could tell Meari was ready for a fight if one broke out. Meari was outraged the Captain touched her cousins backside without permission, like he was entitled to do whatever he wished.

If The Ad,iral Falls, you lose your figure ehad.. the APF's figure ehad, he should be on a base some were...or a Planet, handling the fleet from there!

The Captain said in a sour Voice,..May I go? there are other Entitled Ladies who might be ...less adversarial, then Captain SHadow...

Dusk was more then a little put out by all of this, She moved to Roy as she took a look at the stage to see what songs were going to be played.

Stone studied Missy , Nikki and Meari as they voiced thier suggestions., and More thena few people on the outside of the confrontation, kept watchign Shadow m who seemed to be in a Conversation with LT Cross.

Dusk said to Nikki, a bit louder then she should...The Colonel thinks the Admrial is a fool for going on boarding Missions and jump offs.... and the she spits the word,Captain..... Thinks it is fine to grab some one's backside as they dance, with refusing to let the hand wander , a sign of contempt!

Roy offered his arm to Dusk as she stepped next to him. "I'm not sure you'll understand this, so I'll try to keep it simple enough for you. The reason Admiral Hack is the leader of the Fleet and the APF is because he IS the kind of leader who will get down in the trenches with his men. Maybe the Warlord should give you some combat assignments to remind you how much that can mean to your troops."

He turned to Dusk. "That's the difference between officers who earned their troops versus the ones who got the position handed to them. Pretty sure Captain Roaming-Hands there never had twenty people follow him to a new command...too selfish to do anything to inspire that kind of loyalty."

The fact that as a civilian I might command more skilled people than he will ever be able to handle and I had to earn the position with my skills doesn't even occur to him."

She steps back and lets the higher ups continue the conversation, her gaze catches on Lilith, this can be an opportunity.

As the Battle Lines are drawn, Lilit didn't make a move Until Dusk Moved towards Roy and Nikki suggestion.....

The Colonel stood straighter, The Captain Looked at Lilit with a bit of trepidation . Nodding to Missy, Meari, Nikki and Roy... The warlord asked,Captain Sen... aee you going to apologize to Captain Shadow,?

Warlor4d, I have nothing to apologize for. It is nothing, that most of the other females, did not mind, But for some reason, Dusk feels her ass is too Good...

Lilit's left hand flashed like a Gate opening, Hitting the Young Captain in the Chest and tossing him into meari and The Sanri SGT.

Captain Shadow.... is an officer..She is the Flag Officer of the Udenese Fleet.....You will not speak in such terms about Your Flag Captain...and..My granmod.

The Captain was trying to get up, shocked and stunned by the hit. The Colonel stepped up,..I must protest! Captain Senn is from one of the most affluent Families on Uden! You could see a downturn in Creds from this action

Lilit turns to look at the Colonel,..then....imagine what will happen next....

She opens her COM..I want 4 on duty troopers from the Udenese Flag Ship to escort Captain Senn to the ship to pack his belongings.... he will now be ..ENSIGN...Senn, whit records and pay amended to reflect that... he will be on the next Shuttle to Aqra to over see the laying of Pipelines in the south....

The Colonel looked flabbergasted ...before he could say anything, Lilit took the Colonel's hand,..while Captain Senn awaits the Uden SEC... you and I are going to see Admiral Hack, and You will explain his 'foolishness' to him..

if possible for an Udenese, the Colonel seemed to get 'pale' as he followed the Warlord towards Admiral Hack and The Board.

Dusk looked around at the others, the captain was tryign to get up..only mildly aware of what was going to happen.

...Thank you all.. it is hard sometimes. I am not taken seriously, by some of the new transfers , who have never stood on the Dec durning a battle,..they feel i was 'awarded my rank; because of my Bloodlines.

she turns to Roy,...let us go to the floor... Brooks says two slow songs are coming up... she smiles at the others as they move to the floor.

Shadow sips from his soda,..naw , if they needed me , some one would have called for me....

Wanda McFie comes over..I was wondering, If the LT wanted to dance?

Cross gave Shadow a smile as he stood and took the Pilot's hand and moved out onto the floor with her.

..........

Shade watched what he could see when he heard the sound of Dusk's voice... but angry wan't the same is 'help'..so he nibbled on his goodies and kept watch, Nodding as Roy left for the floor .

.........

Will and his guardians danced the slow dances, Cora the First, Ellen the second, but...as soon as those songs were done.. the fans closed in again.

Meari just watched ready for anything, and then her Granmod came over and Meari shook her head they did not want her to get involved for sure. Then Lilit hit the Captain, and he flew towards her and Frakas, she went to catch him and then sidesteps and lets him hit the ground. Meari just smiled when Lilit said what was going to happen to him. Meari also smiled when Lilit took the Colonel to see Admiral Hack.

When Dusk thanked them for being there for her, Meari smiled and said," Of course cousin I will always be there for you." She looks at the Ensign trying to get up, and accidentally steps on his hand as she turns to Frakas and says," Thank you for your support, shall we have our dances." She makes sure the new Ensign will not leave before the Uden SEC show up, she will head to the dance floor following Roy and Dusk.

"Oh...just so there is no mistake here...." she reached and grabbed him by his genitals "..Start using your brain and not you best friend there." she made sure that the acrylic nails she had gotten earlier in the day were up to the job of making him feel the burn.

Roy grinned and nodded 8n Lillit's direction as she led the Colonel away. "And that is why Uden follows the Warlord. Gave the captain enough leeway to either get out gracefully, or well and truly bury himself, without compromising you at all. While it would be good to have you the Hermes, I'm sure she's an excellent teacher, and giving you a truly worthy example to emulate." If he had any further concern about either the captain or colonel, he hid it.

As they started dancing, he grinned down at her. "Just for the record...I know you could have handled that on your own. I was just hoping to minimize the chaos. I mean, you ARE Shadow's child...it's in your blood to go big when you go off on someone." He chuckled gently as he focused again on the dance.

Roy chuckled. "Well...I don't think you're anywhere near as volatile. But you ARE Udenese, and what you lack in mercurial temper, I'm sure you make up for in raw physical strength." His grin could be heard in his voice.

"And whether being compared to him is a compliment or an insult is all a matter of perspective. Some people would be deeply offended by being compared like that. Others would consider it a matter of pride to even be considered in a similar category." His tone grew a little more serious as he continued, "I meant it as neither compliment nor judgment...just an observation. It's part of you, the same way it's part of Shade. Whether it's a good or bad thing depends entirely on what you do with it."

...In the end, I suppose there are very few people i care of what they think . But those
few, I do care alot, of what they think...

she settled into the Dances with Roy, slowly getting ,less, tense.

Mitch and Nikki went out on the floor,well? that went well?.... Did we have to step in for Shadow's kid? I mean,,doesn't she have enough heavy hitters?

.......

Billie and Arnie danced a slow dance as well, before Arnie said,..After this? we should go finish our food, or get somehting fresh.

............

Lilit stopped by Admirals Hack, Hennings and Roles, With Captain Si, Emmie and Captain Bornberry.

..You will tell the Admiral..now... how Foolish he is, That is a direct order...

Hack Turned and faced the Udenese Colonel, a look of Amusem*nt.....yes? Please... Tell me my failings, it could save some lives?

The Colonel took a deep breath and said, I discussed with Captain Shadow, that you were foolish for going on ground ops and boarding missions. You could be killed and the Fleet would lose its head...

There are some chuckles among the board,

Ahhh..Yes... well, You see colonel, I can get a good feel of a battle if i am with the troops..I have people who stay behind on the ship to handle and information we need...or that we send them.. and..we have a chain of command that goes 50 ships deep... we figure, if we lose that many people, it won't matter who is in charge in longer.... Now.... Lets you and me take a Little walk...

The Colonel looks around , Lilit waves him off....why is everyone takign me for walks!..

The walked through the dance floor , stopping at Roy and Dusk when the 2nd slow dance is over Admiral Hack smiled and said,..Roy?.. This is the newly Minted LT Caxx...

..LT!..But I'm...

..about to shut up or you'll be an ensign.... Now... Lt Caxx, is going to Join you SEC when we cast off... he'll stand watches, he'll train, and he'll go on our next jump off with us?.. He is very concerned with my 'foolishness, so... i would feel.. MUCH..better if he was on the ground with me... don't you think, SM?

Roy's initial reaction was a look of resigned annoyance...which lightened at Dusk's giggle. " Welcome to the Hermes, Lieutenant," he said. "You're lucky...you have a day or so to round up your gear and get it moved...I don't think everyone will have that much time to prepare. I hope you like tunnel-runs..." A sad*stic corner of Roy's soul was contemplating the generally-optional participation in Shadow's training runs mandatory from their new Udenese officer.

He'd worry about telling him to shut up and listen to the experienced troopers later. "In the meantime, I'd suggest you enjoy the ball as best you can while it lasts...it will be a while before you get another chance." All said in a casual, conversational tone without stepping away from Dusk at all, or even so much as hesitating on a single step. The lack of any formal gesture of acknowledgment was deliberate...he did consider dancing with the Udenese Flag Captain to be far more important than giving any encouraging words to a new transfer...especially a disciplinary case.

He chuckled under his breath, and, on their next turn around the dancefloor, his eyes sought out Stone. As they passed the General, he said, loud enough for Stone to hear, "That's one way we deal with those cases, General. Find me when the Captain is done dancing with me and I can tell you a few more stories." He laughed quietly as they continued dancing.

Brash, in you face, pick a fight with anyone Harry get's stage fright!?" she exclaimed, clearly struggling to accept that Harry of all people didn't like being the centre of attention "Well...I'm kind of glad that I never tried following that up" she said as she watched her friend singing with Nikki, quietly liking the idea of her becoming a pop star once the war was over.

They would have another slow dance together, at the end of which some kind of altercation broke out between Dusk and a pair of Udenese officers she didn't recognise. With the disagreement sucking in more and more people like some kind of black hole Izzy would give a disappointed shake of her head thinking that it was typical that even here a fight was threatening to break out with her surprised that Shadow hadn't gone wading in like a bull in a china shop yet "It's getting late, Do you want to head back? I could do with getting some sleep tonight" she softly asked Lizzy knowing that she would probably like to have one last dance and say goodnight to her friends before they went.

Lizzy and Izzy slow danced, then another altercation broke out,Lizzy was wondering when the next one would start it was getting to quite for a Hermes invited ball. Lizzy saw Roy, Meari and Nikki involved. Lizzy paid it no attention they would settle it out hopefully with minimal bloodshed. When Izzy said it was getting late, she was right and Izzy was recovering. Lizzy smiled and replied," Yes Izzy it is late, you need your rest one last dance, and then I just need to say goodbye to a few people and we can head to our condo ok."

It had been a wonderful night, mainly because she'd been able to spend it entirely in Lizzy's company and that everyone else had just left her alone.

Billie and Arnie sit down for a drink and some snack food.

Admiral Hack, waved General Stone, Nodded to Admiral St Gual to Follow. General Fonte Followed as well.

Admiral Hennings, Admiral Roles, Captain Si, General Bale And Captain Morris stood a few steps down from them.. Whistling into the Mic for attention , he looks up at the Clock, pointing with his right hand as the last 10 seconds tick off, and the Gong sounds out 'midnight'.

Midnight!.... There are many stoires from our childhood, even for the other races , then Humans has folk tales of Midnight ending magical times, or sending Evil running... he looked down as his boots as he walked a bit, then looked out over the masses.

Today... The Magic has ended her in Everest, and the Evil will be cleaned out...

poeple started to Murmur , St Gaul looks at Hack and to General Fontes.

Admiral St Gaul is being relieved of Duty.. Her transfer to Aqra , will be one of Many Everest troops, going there as well...

there was more talk on the floor now, some of panic.

Aqra is in no danger of falling out of our hands.. that is important , for water, food and certain drugs and medicines that help keep the fleet and our Stations going...now?.. we survived very well without it for years..but now that we have it, and thus, secured E-1 and E-2... the APF is in no danger, of having stations and colonies starving and such... looking over the crowd,

..the fighting in the southern Hemisphere of Aqra, is fierce, The Fishfolk have whole civilizations under the continents and harrass our colonists at every turn. They pay for it, of course... and it Appears Worts are extremely suited to fighting them...Nivar has many such units on the planet...

General Guy Stone will take over the Command of Everest, he and his Ironguard will form up, most of Everest SEC... They will begin to train more people to be ready to fight... The Iron Guard is also be sprinkled throughout the Fleet to add some fresh fighting spirit to the cause.

There is a deep rooted Evil on this station..build on the foundation of greed and Envy..and it ends now....Captain Messe will Head up Everest's SEC Under General Stone.... and with her help... Every member of the Everest military will recieve a COM, at 1:00 AM station time....the COMs will stay 'Stay"... or it will say 'go'...if GO... coms up on your screen, you will follow the link to see where you are going... at least half of you will go to Aqra.. you can either fight like ESN/APF people, or let the fish folk take you down....There is also some who will go to the delta's.... and some who will be transferred to The Pit.. some will find thier way to Cap ships... and gods help you if you are a pilot coming to The Hermes!

there are chuckles from Hermes folks.

..Now... Lets finish this Ball!.... because of the transfers, both in coming and out going..The Fleet will be hear until 12:00 Mindnight today.. Its a free day for Fleet folk, unless you are transferring, if you are transferring ..get your kit together and report on time...if...you miss cast off, You will be considered a deserted with a shoot to kill order added to that notation....

If that sounds harsh... it is meant to be... Etna, Fuji and Matterhorn have lost people in battles..Everest has been a quiet zone ..its ti,e it enters the war, and supports the Unden sector as well as the Hyrians.. with the Vampic lurkign out there waiting to attack...Those people who are being transported to war zones...welcome to the war...

He Nods to Hemsly and tosses him the Mic, the crowd breaks up as Hemsly says,RIGHT!..That's a bit of good news fer them folks on Everest who suffered all them times we weren't here... now..lets get some part music going.

he puts on one the Hermes favs..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMzTWbrqaIg
.........

Shadow heard the Hemsly and He Gets up.. Mara swoops in from one side, Brivet from another and follow him to the floor

Shade sees this and Nods to orria , But Orria is also being aske d By two Him 'kids"

Dusk Grabs Roy's sleeve to keep him on the the Floor as The Hermes folks started to shout..

Nifty found himself with Chatty Smith dancing to the music

Val looked lost as people moved to the floor.

St Gaul was crushed... she turned to go to her quarters, tears runnign down her cheeks as two Ironguard troops 'escorted ' her to her quarters to gather her things

General Fontes sat in a chair, lookign up at the high ceiling of the ESN HQ, as he waited for 1:00

As the song came to an end Izzy would return Lizzy’s passion filled kiss, burying her hand within her gorgeous red hair as she does so. With her lips finally breaking contact with Lizzy’s a breathless, and more than a little love struck Izzy would mutely nod her head in agreement to her request that they go and bid goodnight to some of Lizzy’s friends.

They had barely taken a few steps towards the first person when they witnessed what could be described as a coup as it was announced that St Gaul and large proportion of her officers were being sent to Aqra, with General Stone before given command of the station ” Well...that explains a few things” Izzy quietly said once again glad that she was not required to report on the event.

Meari was dancing with Frakas when the Admiral came over with the former Colonel and talked with Roy. She heard what was happening to him and smiled, she was going to go say something but Roy kept dancing so she did. When the dances where over Frakas asked if she wanted to drink and he wasnt accustomed to fast dances of other races. Meari smiled and replied," Yes lets get a drink Frakas, yes I am getting use to the fast dances of the humans they are interesting." Then Midnight struck and St. Gual was removed from command of Everest and General Stone was chosen as the new commander. She saw him watching her during the altercation with Dusk.

Meari went to the drink table with Frakas and says," Have you tried any of the human alcohols yet, most are weak, plus I like more heavy metals in my drinks." She tried humor but wasnt sure if it would work like she intended.

Out in the courtyard. the Apefolk , Sanri and Occui , felt more at home in the open and danced to the Musics made but the outdoor Band. They did hear of the PA system, what was a change in leadership, as St Gaul's regime seemed to fall short.

Roy's manner grew even more relaxed after the announcements were made. It was official, General Stone was in command of Everest, and he and Captain Messe would make a potent team to clean up operations here. St. Gaul had either lacked the insight to realize what was coming, or the foresight to prepare for it, apparently, but the announcement had, thus far, not resulted in any sort of uprising or hostile activity. It would remain to be seen how many Everest transfers actually toughed it out and accepted their new assignments, and how many would try to cut and run in the window of time they'd been given...but that was someone else's problem to worry about.

So, he was not exactly resistant to Dusk steering him over to the drinks table. He selected something non-alcoholic and raised his glass. "To a new era on Everest," he said, that being the most appropriate toast he could think of in the moment.

Lizzy smiles at Izzy after the kiss, and then the big news came. Lizzy was expecting something and so far no violence that was a good thing. Then Izzy said that explained a lot of things, Lizzy smiled and said," Yes it does we found some bad things going on and I guess she knew about it, and let it all slide. So know she is gone, good anyone who would let children be used like that should get worse done to them." Lizzy then smiled and said," Well we saved a lot of them, now lets go say good bye to a few people then head to a room ok Izzy."

Lizzy would see Nikki and Mitch dancing she would head over there holding Izzy's hand, once she was close she would say," Hi Nikki, I just wanted to say good night, was thinking of a beach day tomorrow." She smiled and gave Nikki a friendly hug.

Roy grinned. "Yeah, most of that stuff kinda makes me want to gag." He raised his glass a little higher to her toast, and took another drink.

"But even the stuff I do like, I only drink in very limited quantities. Wine is very hit or miss for me...sangria is okay with the right food. I only drink vodka for very special toasts...and it's probably actually the one that I find least offensive, but if I drank it regularly, I'd be a disaster of messed up body chemistry and nerves."

He swirled his glass. "Lucky for me, with so many planets to choose from, there's plenty of exotic juices to drink for special occasions, without risking getting drunk." He took another sip of his drink, and added, "And a good bartender can make some pretty incredible mocktails with them...combinations of flavors that you'd never be able to get from a single world."

Roy grinned. "Most humans don't like the effects, either...or, rather, they like the effect of one or two drinks, but they don't stop there and they don't like the effect of too many drinks...a lot of them lack the wisdom to stop at that 'perfect point'. It's hard to find someone who drinks enough to relax without drinking so much they start getting stupid, or sad, or crazy. It's also dangerous, drinking to relax...do it too often, and you forget how to relax without the drink." He shrugged.

"That's why some of us don't drink alcohol at all, or very carefully regulate how much we drink. It's especially important in a combat zone...getting drunk becomes a liability when you can be called on at literally any second to go into action. Not everyone sees it that way...but I don't trust myself to be an effective leader if I'm drunk...and I definitely don't trust my marksmanship."

He grinned, finishing off his drink. "So don't ever let anyone make you feel guilty or inferior for not drinking. You're a flag officer, and in command of one of the most lethal ships in the Fleet. You never know when you need all your senses to be sharp and ready...why would you want to take the edge off?"

Meari says, It looked like you where running low, here you go. Meari nodded and then watched and listened closely to Shade using the tricks Orrin had taught her to understand Shade better.

choice..or...make it too slow?

Shade Thanked Meari with a Bleep and a whirl. He sat there lookign around as Meari Asked Frakas.

Sanri scouts are taught to handle demo...sniper and surveillance... I am good at the Demo... i am fair at the other two.

The Chimes Hit 1:00... and silence fell over the Ballroom... for a go minute, nothing seemed to happen.. then COM lights and Beeps flooded the area

Shouts of Dismay..anger and fright, Mingle with gasps of relief and laughs of nerves...

General Stone took the mic, and walked up the stairs, lookign over the ballroom and the people who we were grousing. crying and bitching.

Fleet folk, didn't seem to give one damn.

...all over this station,every member of the Everest Crew, from techs to officers are lokign at the COMs.. seeing thier future before them. Let me tell you this...right now. Those who are getting transferred, are going for one of two reasons... the good reason, is your skills are needed to where you are gog. The other reason is, you have some question of your actions on Everest and you will be tested in the field, to see what your colors , truly are..take a look at your careers, thus far...and privately ask yourself..'why'...

Those of you who stay?... do not think you have dodged a Pulse round. I want this station to bear the pride i see in the eyes of Fuji crewmen... you cannot, be proud, of what i have seen on this station..Gangers and Streeters will be hunted down like dogs, and those working with them, will think the Mouse's Command staff, were lucky...now? everyone go about you business.. at 3:00 we will expect everyone to elave.. Ejoy your day off tomorrow, transfers, don't miss your ride...desertion..is answered with death.

He walked down and Handed Hemsly the MiC...

People took to the floor again,

Val sat By herself as Stefi was asked to Dance by Captain Morris, Shadow came passed and stooped,where is doc?

..he left for the ebach... i...think, it was because of the Mouse Command team?.. I do not know for sure...

Shadow Nodded as he looked around,Well?.. I am sorta forgotten Will is attractons attention..there are al kinds of Iron Guard getting into the act. Beth is dancing with some officer..Flores, found a stray marine somewhere... seems i don't have anyone to danc e with?... you care to ease my pride a bit, and Pretend you are having fun?

Val Gave him a sidelong smile, well..I did get all dressed up?... I don't think that's the real reason you asked, but i will help, recover your pride...

With the announcement of the change of command on Everest Melia notices a lot of the pent up energy in the room rushes out. As if a door was opened on a compressed airlock. Still with the risk of a go/stay message there was a high chance of increased... poor reactions.

..Right... so? I don't know what to sing, .... hemsly shows him the name and Number of a Song.Ok... well? I like this one for our enmies to hear...my....enemies, to hear?... so i guess its a good 'walk off ' song..

The Music starts he nods to the Hermes folks he sees,..of course.. this song fits almost every Hermite here, and those we have lost along the way, so don't be afraid to join in...

Captain Si inclined her her and a proud smile as Shadow began to sing, and slowly , a few other pilots and SEC joined.

Admiral Hack grinned as he talked to General Stone , Stone was pointing at Shadow and Hack chuckled.

when the Song was Over, he gave Frans and Eckles ha, ..Flores and her Marine found him and said something, Shadow nodded by gave the Marine a punch in the shoulder and pointed a finger, in the man's face... the Marine just Nodded rapidly , while Flores rolled her eyes but smiled as they headed out the door.

Roy nodded. "One more dance for luck on the road," he said with a grin. As they walked back out to the dance floor, he turned back. "As for where I go from here...wherever the Hermes goes. The Admiral hasn't announced that yet, and we had two or three pretty solid options when we were coming into station, so I won't even hazard a guess."

As they pulled closer together, he said, in a quieter tone, "Unless you meant immediately after the ball...in which case, I go back to the condo...and then see if there was anyone that didn't get a visit last night that we feel should be visited tonight. If we hit anyone else, it could go one of two ways...either they bugged out after last night, and we find absolutely nothing, or they decided they're safe because we didn't hit them last night, and so they've settled back in." The words were a low murmur in her ear...to the casual observer, it could have been a rather intimate discussion taking place as they danced.

"Or we may decide we made enough of a mess last night and we don't want to rain on the Iron Guard's fun as they settle into their new assignment. I don't know...I'll talk it over with the LC when I get to the condo."

There was one of the Younger Verian Captains watching Roy and Dusk.

The Admiral had sought out Captain Si, waving off suits and dresses, It was thier last dance, he wasn't going to be bothered.

Re: EVENTS #2

Roy grinned gently at the suggestion/request. He noticed the Verian watching, although nothing but his eyes betrayed it in any way. It would, perhaps, be a good learning opportunity for the Verians...depending on whether they had any interest in learning anything.

"It would be my honor...although I really should go pay my respects to Captain Messe before I leave. Her life is about to get extremely busy, and as part of her chain of command, I should wish her luck. Assuming she hasn't already left to go set up operations to rope in deserters tring to rush off-station as quickly as possible..." Were he in her position, he'd have set those wheels in motion the moment Admiral Hack made the initial announcement...but while he had faith in her as an officer, he didn't know how much she thought in advance on such matters. She obviously had some shortcomings as an officer, or she would have found ways to get her duty done on Everest going around St. Gaul...or at least, making some clearer reports about the extremity of the situation.

Re: EVENTS #2

Roy looked for the brass...especially Admiral Hack and General Stone, figuring Messe would be somewhere in the proximity of one or the other of them. As an escort, he knew he'd been somewhat ingracious, spending most of the evening with Dusk...but Dusk wasn't down his chain of command, so dancing with her hadn't felt somehow improper to him. Had he spent the evening dancing with Messe, he was certain he would have been talking shop the entire time...which, now, with the question of whether a follow-up to Delta Night was needed looming, might have been a good thing. But he'd found Dusk's company to be more relaxing.

Re: EVENTS #2

people from the beach were now entering the Hall, as others who had been at the Ball, left for the Condo or..maybe even the beach.

The guards relaxed a bit, since no one was coming in with long arms., The Iron Guard set up rotations to sit and eat and drink, while other stood guard, then they would switch.

Nifty and Cala grabbed his rifle and left for the Condo, after she reported in with her Captain.

..........

frakas finished his shake, but suddenly was worried as he grabbed his head,..this is causing ..my head to hurt!

Shade chuckled his metallic chuckle, he bleeped and whirled moving his hands in such a way to show a slow sipping of the shake.

frakas titled his head as the pain was slowly goign away... Then stood to dance with Meari

...........

Sam and Howe Danced, the Last Dance before Howe said, we're Grab a drink to sip on the way back to the Condo

Re: EVENTS #2

Messe and the Captain smile at Roy spoke. Messe waved a hand to the Captain. SM Spencer, thees is Captain Ben Wulp of the Iron Guard... He and I will be working together to intergrade Iron Guard with the Everest SEC who have been picked to stay...

The Captain extended his arm, in the classic 'Galactic warrior' greeting...Nice to meet you , SM... needless to say we have heard about you. Captain Messe spoke alot about you...

Captain Messe blushed a bit.

I suppose, at this place in time, I can tell your the 'extra' Iron guard that was 'left over' for being sent the Delta Fleet ships, are now watchign the docking arms.. there have been a few arrests.. and a few shooting... we expect more before Midnight tomorrow. The Admiral and The General decided to extent the fleet's stay to make sure everyone got to where they are going, some of the BUs that are sat in the Everest Hangers are being used to send the Everest troops to places like Aqra, Astra,The Deltas, The Pit, and even on The Line... a few are goign to Etna on regular transports ... , but for some reason none are going to Matterhorn?

frakas finished the Dance, and gave Meari a bit of a bow,,,I thank you for making the last part of my evening, most pleasant.

Re: EVENTS #2

Roy grunted slightly at the news. "Matterhorn is a special case, but most likely, I would say that they really can't afford any troops with dubious loyalties right now. We left a contingent of Ape-Folk troops there when we stopped...they'd been heavily infested with Creshians and the Ape-Folk are REALLY good at dealing with them in an efficient manner. But I wouldn't consider it a good place to Swift out disloyal troops...the stakes are too high, and there are too many ways a few bad apples could send the whole situation down the chute." He shrugged.

"Wish I knew more, but Admiral Hack plays his cards close to the vest...I'm not privy to sitreps from the various APF assets, until such time as he updates me...which is usually when he's updating everyone else before we attack." He grinned and shrugged, resignedly. He might be Sergeant Major of the Corps, but those things were still officer territory, and he was good with that.

"Glad you got people to the docks. There's no knowing how many have contacts throughout the Stem and are jumping ship that way...but there's only so much we can do at this point."

He turned to Messe. "I'm afraid I haven't been the best exemplar of an escort tonight...but I felt like Captain Dusk needed some assistance. She may be the Warlord's grandchild, but there are still many among her people who only see her as an illegitimate half-breed Human and think they can exploit her position as a result." It wasn't the complete truth about why he'd spent so much time with her...but it was truth, and a more graceful let-down for Captain Messe's ego.

"I'm going to escort her back to the hotel...but I wanted to wish you success with what is, effectively, a new command, since you're going to be enjoying what I'm guessing will be unprecedented support from your CO. If there's anything you need the Corps to do...if it's beyond General Stone, that is...let me know and we'll get it going."

”That or she was simply too incompetent to notice” Izzy suggested with a shrug, not that that was much of a defence in the former admirals favour. Either way she and her cronies were in for a rude awakening when they finally reached the front lines after spending so much time within their cushy little station, with the troopers and pilots destined to join the Hermes not faring much better ” Well she’s probably getting off lightly all things considered, though perhaps this will give her the opportunity to become a proper officer” she said as Lizzy steered her away from the dance floor and over to where Nikki and Mitch were.

With a shy little smile on her face, Izzy would quietly watch as Lizzy bid Nikki goodnight, with her not wanting to intrude, after all as nice as Nikki and the other ladies had treated her at the spa she was still very aware of the fact that they were all Lizzy’s friends and not hers.

I was thinking of going down to the beach in the morning, they have a section for fleet people and for the Stem kids we rescued. If you want to come by the beach we could spend some time together if you would like that Frakas. It has been a pleasure to meet you and dance with you, and I hope we meet again very soon." Meari gave him a hug like she had seen human females do to males when they leave and gave him a kiss on the cheek, she had seen human females do that as well, but she had no clue if Frakas understood what they meant he wasnt human. Meari just went with it and hoped she did it right, this trying to relationship thing was very hard she would rather fight a regiment of Verians instead.

Once the dancing was done, Melia ensured Orria and Shade were accounted for, and safely back to the condos. It was getting late.

"At a guess, I'd say he didn't step in for much the same reason the Warlord didn't step in until after it was apparent that Dusk had handled the situation...she may be young, but she's not a child. Neither Shadow nor Lillit can be there all the time...Dusk has to handle her own problems. The only reason I got involved was because I figured there would be enough trouble tonight without bloodshed over a self-indulgent groping incident. Turns out, the party was calmer than I'd expected. It's nice to go to one of these things and not have someone trying to kill Shadow...or me, or both...in the middle of it." He chuckled idly, but the glint in his eye gave an indication of how those past events had turned out for the ones trying to make the trouble.

"But, if you'll excuse me...I neglected one Captain all night, I shouldn't make it two." He gave a low chuckle as he bowed and turned, making his way back to Dusk.

"Are you ready, Captain Shadow?" he asked, very politely. He spared the Verian enough of a glance for there to be no doubt that he was aware of the other captain's presence...but didn't regard it as worthy of commenting on. Instead, he focused on Dusk with the formality of an assigned bodyguard. He could guess what the stern words the two had been exchanging were about.

Roy blinked, being deliberately obtuse. "So...the way you treat a superior officer depends on their origin and whether or not they're sexually desirable?" he asked. "Does this practice hold true for all officers? I mean, do you have lieutenants trying to take you to bed? Is that how your military orders its promotions? I don't understand...I'm just a simple human, we still practice the archaic ways of respecting our superior officers. Well, most of us do. The ones who don't wind up inspecting hull rivets. If they're lucky, they're even given a space suit to wear while they do it." His tone was light and almost sincere...but there was no mistaking the look in his eyes that said, essentially, You dumbass...

"We try to keep our military protocols up to date. I should, perhaps, take this up with the Admiral...or, perhaps, with the whole APF board." He looked thoughtful for a moment, before shaking his head.

"Of course, if we're going to borrow protocols from other worlds, they should really have a stronger track record of military success than Vera..."

As they stepped away, he said, carefully loud enough for Captain Grasses to hear, "If you'll forgive an old groundpounder for sounding his opinion, Captain...I wouldn't worry too much about someone like that not respecting your position. I mean, you have to compare the military records of the people who support and respect you to the records of the ones who think you're some kind of object of conquest. Clearly, the people who are actually used to winning in combat see great value in your ability as a command officer. The ones trying to game for your virtue? Well, from what I've seen, the only thing they're used to winning are sleazy bets."

He paused, turning back as they neared the open doors. "Larry! If you're going to eat him, at least take him outside so the staff don't have to clean up the mess. If not, stop playing with him and come on, we're leaving." He sneaked a sly grin to Dusk as he turned back to the doorway and led the way out.

Meari then checked the crate to make sure it was hers; she opened it and began the process of donning her Udenese Ceremonial Armor.

Upon completion of donning the special armor Meari came around the corner and showed off her armor.

”Oh ok, I’ll see you there then…I think I’m getting ready in a shuttle” Izzy had replied to Sam before leaving for the venue, hoping to meet her friend there.

——> Condo

Izzy would nervously fidget in the back of the car, as her heart hammered away in her chest and her stomach churned with anxiety leaving her terrified that she would lose her breakfast. With the car pulling to a stop outside the venue Izzy would step out of the car and offer Lizzy a nervous smile as she replied ”sh-sure…I’ll see you th-there” she stammered before following someone around the back where the shuttle was waiting with her kind of hoping that there would be some kind of screen or soft furnishings to make it a little more comfortable.

”Sam I think I’m going to be sick” Izzy replied, quickly getting up from the crash seat she’d been in and giving her friend a hug, relieved that she was here. Someone had clearly made some effort to make the rear compartment of the shuttle a little more comfortable by adding some cushions and a vase of flowers, a changing screen, a makeup table, and a full length mirror as well as stringing some decent lighting so they could see what they were doing. Izzy in comparison looked like she was about to have a breakdown ”I know I sh-shouldn’t be panicking I…I’ve been into combat and witnessed horrific things and not even batted an eye but the idea of standing up in front of everyone and getting married terrifies me!”

Mara came in a bit after Maddy, she had her Angel Silk dress from the Ball, her hair was fixed ( by Eckles to look like it was flowing backwards and gave her earrings a chance to show.)

Mara smiled at Maddy,You look as great as you did at the Ball!

Captain Si came In smiling.I told Oliver he had to wait outside until you were ready, they way he'll get to see you before walking out. General Bale is talking with NA-LE..She is hear to witness the wedding as well..

Stefi . Major TA-LI. Rivets and Captain Morring are already seated, along with Admiral Hennings, and Emmie. Admiral Roles is by the outside bar waiting for the LC.

Mara nodded..Beth and the Girls will be here..Shade was rounding Up Maria and Maygin and the 'Young Guns" LC she was cleaning up, he'll be here soon.

..........

frakas waved to the other two...This is Mitch, he is the torpedo Bomber...he is ..i thing..Mating with Nikki, who is Lizzy's wing man.. Mitched head dropped as he shook his head and chuckeld..yea..well.. I am Nikki's Boyfriend... he ofter the hand.

This is Zob, he is heavy weapons and SEC, He Joined the hermes before me, ..he is friends to both of the mating people..

Mitch looked around...will you stop with the 'mating' thing. You'll make the Hermes sound like a singles cruise!

Frakas looked confused,but we have been on more then one Cruise..yes...?

Never Mind..just...just don't talk about Mating..

...............

a moment later Shadow entered from the doors would lead out of the courtyard at the end.. He saw Roles who had waved him over..

He shook hands with his friend.. Beth Popped Up as Shadow claimed a soft drink, Roles and beth hand a wine.why didn't you let me stop them! she whispered harshly.

too late? they were already talking..they went through your system should
be good..right?

her eyes narrowed.good for us...not good for 'mom'.. we should have tight beamed that from the Hermes.. or any other Cap ship would could have went to.. if it was caught....

Shadow frowned they were already talking, this is their gods be damned wedding day, you want to freak them out more?..what is done...is done.. when we go back
send a tight beam to Hannah and see what they can do for them..right now? let it ride, let them enjoy this. 9 hells,, Angel and Empire Kill squads are hunting people every day, this wont be any different.. We'll take care of it when we go home.

After retrieving a cup of coffee she would return to stand with the others, taking a cautious sip from her cup before speaking ”so…does this happen often? I must have missed memo else I would have packed something a little more…um…formal” she said, looking a little embarrassed as she indicated the blouse and jeans she was currently wearing.

After hugging Sam perhaps a little too tightly, Izzy would absentmindedly nod her head with her looking just a little dazed ”Yes…I…I should get dressed” she said with that same dazed look on her face before taking Sam’s hand and pulling her behind the changing screen. It was then with a little assistance from Sam that she would start stripping out of her clothes and into her wedding dress which was hanging up on the screen ”Yeah…I’m kind of surprised you can walk hearing the noises you were making when we passed your door” Izzy said in a low voice before giggling ”just between us I’m kind of relieved I’m not the one walking down the aisle Lizzy was…um…very enthusiastic…last night” Izzy replied with a blush as she changed ”so…you and Zob huh? Is this something serious or just you getting laid? Um…how do I look?” she said before stepping back so Sam could see her in her dress.

The strapless dress was of a simple, yet elegant cut that had clearly been tailored to her diminutive size so that it showed off her figure, and came with a pair of long white gloves.

It was a few moments later that Meari would arrive, wearing some kind of ceremonial armour, as Tarja couldn’t envisage any military unit requiring that much purple, and ask how they were ”hmm coffee is helping” Tarja replied, still not feeling one hundred percent after last night but was slowly getting there.

Roy and Dusk arrived together, sharing the same car. Roy had gotten his dress uniform sent down when the wedding had been announced, and he wore it with the same seriousness as he did any other formal event where he wore it...every ribbon precisely placed, medals polished and in proper array...he'd even had them send down the ceremonial saber, although he looked like he might be reconsidering wearing it, when he saw the seating.

"Wow...I, ummm...I'm not sure what I was expecting, really, but this is a lot more than what I had envisioned. Guess I'm too accustomed to impromptu battlefield unions...been a while since I attended a legitimate formal wedding ceremony..." he confided to Dusk, as he looked around. Spotting Zob, he stepped forward to the Demon.

"Sharp duds there, Zob," he observed with a grin.

"Which side is Izzy's and which one is Lizzy's? I'm guessing Lizzy will have a bunch of the pilots on her side, but Izzy's part of Security and has been part of Infantry, off and on...she's one of mine, I want to make sure I sit in her area."

"Oh, for hell's sake..." Roy muttered as he stood up at Shadow's beckoning, looking apologetically down to Dusk. "Duty calls..." he explained simply, with a slight shrug, before he walked off after the LC.

As Shadow laid out the plan, Roy eyed Shadow and Shade. "I'm smellin' a whole lotta improvise on this," he said aloud, then commented, "I know you're not particularly fond of Sakura...but couldn't you have at least put on a dress shirt and tie for O'Connor's sake? You ARE her CO..." He shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"Whatever...they're starting and there's no time to dress you up.

Roy bit his tongue as he followed the others out. As much as he found the under-dressed appearances to be in dubious taste, complaining about them at this point obviously wasn't going to accomplish much, except maybe make him appear that he was participating under active protest, and he really wasn't...while he hadn't expected to be part of the wedding party, nor, indeed, necessarily attend the wedding at all, when the invitation had been broadcast to the entire crew, he felt obligated to attend, at least, as a show of support and respect for one of his troopers. And if he was going to attend out of respect, he was going to go the full nine yards on it.

He pasted a pleasantly neutral expression on his face to mask the fallout scenarios he could see himself having to deal with, and decided to give his ceremonial best at standing there and looking impressive and supportive, while directing focus to the event at hand. He had plenty of experience with that.

He'd deal with the fallout, if any, later...

Holding her eyelids apart with one hand Izzy would carefully put in the contact lens and then for the first time since the explosion her eyes were the same colour and she was able to see clearly without glasses. She would have just enough time to admire her reflection, an Angel stylist having done her hair and makeup, before she and Sam received the message that they were needed.

Getting to her feet Izzy would offer Sam a nervous but happy smile before making her way to where she needed to be. It was then that things started to go off piste, with Shadow of all people whispering something about groomsmen through the door to her and Sam eliciting a look of horror from Izzy as she mouthed to Sam ”what the hell is he talking about!?” however it was too late to ask any questions or do anything about it as the door was opened and the music started to play giving Izzy no choice but to smile and follow Can, who holding the stone box with their rings inside, into the chapel and stand beside the altar with Sam with a nervous smile on her face.

Madison wasn't sure what to do at first but how hard could it be to get a beautiful woman into a beautiful wedding dress. Getting it on her body was just the first part though. The rest was adjusting the train and tugging and pinching everything into place. It was already tailored so well, but there was no amount of technology that beat multiple women looking and fixing until the bride was picture perfect.

Once Lizzy was ready, Madison stood with the other bridesmaids. She wasn't yet sure which groomsman she would be paired with as they marched down the aisle, but she knew her order, so she stood by.

Deep down inside , Shadow felt a bit foolish.. , he had his uniform the bedroom, he should have just put the dress whites on...but? he had no idea he would be where he was,, so he just mentally shrugged it off..they hand enough partners on this side, for the ladies on the other side.

She walked down the aisle looking at how awesome Izzy looked and everyone else, she saw the LC, Shade, and the SM as Groomsmen to match her three extra.

Standing beside Sam at the altar, Izzy couldn’t help but feel self-conscious as the crowd of people looked up at her wearing her wedding dress, with an anxious smile on her face as she tried her best not to fidget, with only the thought of Lizzy stopping her from fleeing back into the shuttle to hide.

With the band beginning to play the bridal march, Izzy would turn to watch as the side gate was opened and Haley; looking adorable in her dress would enter the courtyard followed by Admiral Hack in his uniform with Lizzy on his arm. At the sight of Lizzy in her wedding dress Izzy’s eyes would go wide with amazement. Highly attractive under normal circ*mstances Lizzy was truly beautiful in her wedding dress and looking every bit like a fairytale princess causing Izzy’s heart to skip a beat as she watched her walk down the aisle towards her ”you’re beautiful” Izzy whispered to her when she came to stand beside her, offering a look of adoration.

The courtyard would then go quiet as Captain Si spoke and the ceremony began, with a jolt of panic shooting through Izzy when it was revealed that she was to say her bonding vows first, with her wishing she’d thought to write something down having assumed it would have been a traditional ceremony. After taking a moment to steady her breathing Izzy would look into Lizzy’s eyes as she began to speak, hoping that she would find the words to express how she felt about her ”Elizabeth, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen…you are brave and strong willed, and won’t let anything get in the way of you getting what you desire, you are simply amazing and I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else but you…So I, Isobel Taki Sakura ask you to be my lawfully wedded wife, for me to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death us do part” she said before flicking her eyes over to Captain Si to see if there was any more she needed to do before looking back at Lizzy so she could say her vows.

”Yes…I…I accept” Izzy quietly replied, blushing as Lizzy spoke her vows to her with her likewise beginning to get choked up and emotional. Next she would take one of the intricately decorated cups and hold it out towards Lizzy so she could drink from it before Lizzy in turn held out her cup with the taste of the sweet, fruity wine filling her mouth as she drank from it, with both cups then being set down upon the table by the bottle.

It was then time for young Can to step forward with the rings with him doing a very good job of speaking the words considering there hadn’t been any form of rehearsal beforehand. Izzy would smile and mouth the words ”thank you” to Can before taking Lizzy’s ring from out the velvet lining of the box ”With this ring, I pledge myself and my everlasting love to you” Izzy would say as she gently took Lizzy’s hand in her own and carefully placed the ring on the ring finger of Lizzy’s right hand, with her looking up into her beautiful green eyes as she does so before waiting for Lizzy to place her ring upon her finger.

There was the Angel Reporter who was using her shoulder Cam for Most of the service, and a camera .

Two Angels ran around with Cameras getting shots of the Bride and Bride .. Nikki and Sam with them. They more or less dragged the groomsmen to the pics , The bridesmaid

about 20 Minutes of that. KE-NA Approached and Gathered the Group together.I am so sorry about the Groomsmen. We do not have such things. We asked Captain Si and Admiral Hack about Weddings, but there were so many kinds! Its a wonder humans ever get bonded!

Girl with Colorful hairTold LC Shadow..and he gather Groomsmen...

It was Beth. I would have tried to get Three women, but all I could thingk of was Frans and Eckles..none of them would have felt right doig it as they were dressed in nice civis or Off duty like myself..which..I apologize to you both for.. he nods his head to them.I Knew the SM would step up and Shade would not say no.. and they were both SEC.. and.. i sorta am both..so that gave Izzy a good showing for SEC...But? beth notcied and got us up there,

KE-NA looked flustered when it was recounted.I am so glad it worked out. as it is, this wedding is a mix of Angel and Human..it is the very first wedding of its kind, that i know about.

No we go into the Chapel to eat..people are already seated with thier food.. all of you have a platter wwith vairpous food..so you may eat right away? After that you may go to Buffet and help your.. when Food is done, the unveiling of the cake and then the Brides will cut thier slices.. Then the staff will cut cake and bring the slices out to the courtyard for people to enjoy while the dancing is done..yes?self to More

Izzy would giggle at being called wife with Lizzy taking her arm and walking with her ”ok Mrs O’Conner, let’s go get our picture taken” she said, smiling from ear to ear as they walked across the courtyard with Izzy then asking with a giggle ”Also when were you going to mention that your middle name was Angie?”

The photos would take some time as the photographers had her and Lizzy in several poses together before having them photographed with the bridesmaids and groomsmen, both together and apart including a rather awkward photo of Izzy standing between Shadow and Roy, though Izzy was in too good of a mood to complain.

Afterwards they would all gather together and Izzy would learn about the entire groomsmen situation with it not having entered her mind that it was a problem. Had they more time to prepare then she may have realised and set about finding people to fill the roles. But as it was they hadn’t, and it was a small miracle that there hadn’t been more hiccups ”That’s ok LC, it was all kind of last minute” she replied to his apology over his attire, with her reluctantly admitting that he had done a nice thing for them by stepping up.

KE-NA would then outline the rest of the plan, with going inside to eat and cut the cake, along with the opportunity for any speeches, before returning to the courtyard for dancing and music until they were required to go home ”I don’t have any questions…shall we go inside for something to eat Mrs O’Conner? Oh wait! What about the bouquet? Should we do that before or after we eat?”

Tarja for her part had quietly sat and watched the ceremony as the two women were married, though it was unlike any wedding she had ever seen with her wondering if their hosts were unfamiliar with Human customs or whether the brides had simply wanted to do things differently.

Once the ceremony was over Tarja would collect herself in drink whilst the photo’s were being taken, with her drifting over to stand beside Meari ”They seem very happy together don’t they?” she said nodding her head towards the happy couple ”…also only you could make combat armour look glamorous!” she then added with a laugh as she lightly tapped the breastplate with her knuckles.

Once the pictures of everyone where done, KE-NA told them what was next, there was a question about the bouquet, but they were solved quickly. " Yes lets head inside my love."

Once the service was over they headed out Sam walked with Nikki and then there was pictures. Sam was having a blast and she pulled Zob and Meari out for pictures since they were also part of the wedding party by Lizzy's list.

Once the pictures where all done KE-NA again directed them. They then headed into the chapel to sit and eat. As they were being seated KE-NA came up to Sam, told her it was her time to speak, and handed her a Mic.

Sam smiled then stood up," Oh I get to go first for the speeches then, Izzy and I have been best friends since we met. Izzy has a strong heart and spirit and I know how much she loves and cares for Lizzy. Izzy you will always be my best friend no matter what and I wish you a Lizzy a long and happy marriage.

Following KE-NA into the chapel, they would be seated at the top table along with Sam, Nikki, Admiral Hack and Captain Si, and presented with a plate of food that was to die for and a glass of wine. It was as Izzy was enjoying her meal that Sam would stand and give her speech and raise a glass in toast to them followed by people clinking their glasses. Having never been to a wedding before Izzy was somewhat confused by this though it would appear Lizzy knew what it meant as she pulled her in for a kiss causing a surprised squeak from Izzy in response.

Sitting at the table with Meari and Frakas, Tarja would enjoy the food as she listened to the equally tiny best woman; Sam making her speech followed a large portion of the guests then clinking their wine glasses, which confused Tarja right up until Lizzy kissed her new wife, with Tarja chuckling as she watched Izzy’s cheeks turn bright red in response having seemingly been caught unaware.

”I hope you had better night than I did Meari, it would appear I got stood up…which reminds me, I need to talk to SM about getting new recruits” Tarja would say to Meari before taking a sip of her wine.

Izzy would be pulled in and kissed several more times during the course of the meal which made it rather difficult to enjoy her food, with her quietly relieved when Shadow banged his fork down as she had been beginning to feel uncomfortable by the entire thing because as much as she enjoyed kissing Lizzy she wasn’t used to doing on command with her also beginning to suspect that some of the crew were starting to enjoy watching them kiss a little too much.

The rest of the meal went by with Izzy enjoying the food immensely, with her sharing the odd morsel with Lizzy between sips of delicious golden coloured, Angel wine.

Once everyone had finished eating, at least for the time being, and the servers were clearing away the plates. KE-NA would usher them over to where the cloth covered cake was. Taking hold of one of the golden cords, Izzy would look to Lizzy and say ”On three? One…two…three”

The cloth cover would drop, revealing an exquisitely detailed Hermes cake, complete with fighters made from royal icing and antennae made of spun sugar. Spotting the figures standing on the V.I.P pad Izzy would giggle and point them out to Lizzy before turning round to where a nervous looking Uno was standing ”oh my god! This looks amazing! I can’t believe you managed to make this in such a short amount of time, thank you so much!” she said before following KE-NA and Lizzy round the cake to make the first cut.

Holding the large knife with Lizzy, they would pose for a couple of pictures before making the cut where KE-NA directed them to.

Roy observed the events unfolding, an unexpected participant in the whole thing, but glad to see it happening and even more happy to see it all going smoothly. He caught Shadow's eye and gave an approving nod when the LC made an apology for his informal attire, a slight grin on his face. The whole miscommunication over missing groomsmen was explained, and he was ready to let it go as the situation had already been dealt with and nobody seemed to mind the end result.

The toasts and dinner went smoothly enough...the tapping on the glasses started to annoy him, as the couple kept getting interrupted in their meal, and he shut down the enthusiasm on a few of the transgressors with a disapproving scowl...but Shadow's more overt reaction brought it to an end, and they got a chance to enjoy their meal in some degree of peace (as peaceful as it could be with a few dozen pairs of eyes watching...)

The cake was revealed, and he looked over at Foster and his wife, another smile of surprise and approval on his face as he acknowledged their work. The bouquets were thrown, he watched in amusem*nt as there was more than a bit of jostling and jockeying to catch them, the fact that there were two bouquets only seeming to add to the competitive spirit, and stood back with some degree of relief that he was not expected to be part of the festivities there. It had been, all in all, a good day, and there was still a bit of it left before it was time to return to the ship.

Shadow came with the containers with Cake..that could be used to eat the cake in, or simply taken with them. Shadow handed, Can and Haley ( after Haley returned from the flower wars)..he had one for Roy, and Dusk..he had one for himself and Maddy..

but he took a knee , out of the line of fire, and Gave Mila one.. He patted her head.I Got You a Vanilla slice. I think i remember something of Doggies are supposed to have chocolate?

He stood watching others get cake,, as soon that the Victors ,raised their prizes. the ladies were moved to the fringe, as Lizzy and Izzy would have their first Dance as a Bonded Couple.

Shadow took a bit of his that can some chocolate and some Vanilla I like sweet stuff... but i'm always leery about Cake.. if it s dry..or it is just icing covered bread. By Uno makes some good stuff. She Pics up extra creds baking in the Mess hall, rolls and such. I think we she get a bakery opened up on the concourse.. Bet she would make a killing.

Roy nodded at Shadow's explanation to Mila. "Chocolate's bad for canines...I don't remember the specifics, and this would probably be a small enough amount that it wouldn't have much impact. But best to avoid that particular risk in the first place. Besides, there's nothing wrong with vanilla..."

He had to nod agreement with Shadow's suggestion that a bakery...or, maybe more accurately, a patisserie, since bakers tended to focus a lot on bread and rolls and occasionally got around to cakes and pastries...might be a good idea. Of course, someone who could put together a cake that tasted this incredible could probably come up with bread that would have people lining up to buy a few loaves at a time...

Nikki somehow was on the floor with several other ladies for the bouquet tosses. she put Haley in a spot not to get stepped on. Lizzy with her back turned tossed hers. It must have been that sync of being each others wing that made it seem fortuitous. Nikki seemed to catch it rather easily. she blushed, making her skin look tan. she held it up for a moment. she moved to Mitch and sat on his lap as Haley waited with the other ladies for Izzys bouquet. not successful she consoled herself with cake Shadow brought over to her and Can. all was good. Nikki kissed Mitch. she had decided to pass on the speech but brought her guitar to sing a love song for Lizzy and Izzy.

After enjoying a slice of the truly amazing wedding cake they would be pulled away in order to throw the bouquets with Izzy finding much to her delight that she also had a bouquet to throw. Standing next to Lizzy with a smile she would watch as she threw the bouquet over her shoulder and wait a minute or two for the chaos to die down behind them before throwing her own bouquet and starting it off again.

With the victors moving away with their spoils an area would be cleared, the lights dimmed and the band would begin to play a slow song for their first dance ”Mrs O’Conner, would you do me the honour of dancing with me?” Izzy would softly ask, extending her hand out towards her.

Once they were out on the dance floor Izzy would hold Lizzy close as they danced together, with Izzy taking the lead. She would try her best to ignore the eyes upon them and simply enjoy the moment as they moved to the music.

She would sit and talk with Meari for a little bit before the Angel woman who seemed to be in charge of keeping the wedding on schedule called for all of the single ladies to come out so they could catch the bouquets. Getting to her feet, Tarja would join the group of women and stand beside Meari, though in hindsight that was perhaps a bad idea as the tall Udenese woman was able to out jump her and snatch the bouquet out of the air, much to Tarja’s disappointment.

It was as the ladies were drifting towards the edges so as to allow the brides space to have their first dance that she would witness Meari attempting to give the bouquet to the young girl ”you are not familiar with tradition friend Meari?” Tarja would say with a chuckle as she put her arm about her friends shoulders ”…it’s the catching that is important, because lady that catches bouquet is fated to get married next” she explained, before smiling and waving at Frakas who was still seated, wondering if he knew what catching the bouquet meant.

"The honeymoon s'posed to take a month and the groom was to kidnap the bride. all bridesmaids were to confuse evil spirits from harming the bride. she wears a veil to prevent the 'evil eye' and cursing the bride. there's a lot of customs for a human wedding"

Andruss and Ble where dancing, there were smiles and small laughs as they talked

Dusk Looked at Roy to see if they were going out.

KE-NA looked annoyed as she stepped over to the LC...If I May... This party were the bridal dance ? I do not see Izzy breaking trough the group, much less Carring Lizzy out the gate to the shuttle.

Shadow chuckled...well? Just eliminate it.. do the Dance..right? and when the pair is ready to go, have the ANSEC, for a corridor sorts. for them to Run out the gate together, and the Shuttle will take them to The Hermes

Madison took a break from her cake to like up for the throwing of the bouquets. There were a lot of ladies lined up to catch, though she doubted most of them knew what catching it was supposed to mean. Madison knew and though she was not superstitious, she was not wishing the flowers would come her way. Her current relationship with Kray was amazing, but she absolutely did not want to be married. The anxiety she felt about it seemed silly, but it was all forgotten when she cheered for Nikki and Meari's spectacular catches.

Done with the bouquet toss, she went back to her cake and Kray. "I always wondered about how soon after catching the bouquet the wedding was supposed to come. Maybe Nikki and Meari will have a double wedding coming up."

When Kray asked if she wanted to dance, Madison set her plate aside and took his hand. "Of course." She let him lead her to his choice of spots on the dance floor.

Slight Flex
When the music stopped Izzy would take Lizzy’s hand and gently kiss her fingers as their first dance together came to an end. It was then that the rest of the guests were permitted to dance, with Lizzy dancing with Admiral Hack and she with Captain Si who were taking on the role of the bride’s parents. Needless to say Izzy was more than a little excited to be dancing with Captain Si with it taking an extreme effort of will not to turn into a blushing, giggling mess ”Captain Si…hmm…Nil?….do you perchance know Captain Traci Capshaw?” Izzy would quietly ask as much to have something to say to her than out of curiosity, with the use of the Captain’s first name sounding strange, but her rank sounding out of place considering that they were dancing together ”…it’s just that Lizzy and I were talking the other night and it turns out that Captain Capshaw is kind of a hero of Lizzy’s and I was wondering if you knew her and whether she was nice and if you could introduce Lizzy to her sometime?” she continued, with her natural falling into the role of the lead, with her hand feeling very nice on Captain Si’s waist. Not as nice as Lizzy’s but still, there was a reason as to why she’d had a crush on her.

Once her dance with Captain Si had come to an end, she and Lizzy would switch partners, with their being an awkward moment as both Izzy and Admiral Hack tried to lead causing Izzy to blush and stammer ”Sorry…force of habit” before allowing the Admiral to take control.

She is Now Captain Of The Ares I play racquet Ball with her when we get to Carrier stations. we do not have a decent set up for good racquet ball, on cap ships...Med Tech ships have great ones. I will talk with her, see what I can do...

KE-NA stuck her head in when Hack was with Izzy, and Si was with Lizzy...I had some good advice i got from one of the Huamns who helped with this?... Because there is 2 brides. And Izzy is..um...size challenged... we are Goign to have aa different sort of Bridal dance..., Both women will be in the center, and will dance with those who come along we'll have 2 lines.. one each will line up for each Bride, then switch to the other Bride
s line..when the Brides are ready to Move off..ANSEC will form a corridor to the Shuttle Izzy used to change and , and Fly them to the Hermes.. we have arrangements to get their thigs from the Condo, and here, as well as the Cake topper.

She Got the 'Groomsmen' and Bridesmaids to getter... the men would hold trays of Burian Brandy, Angel whiskey or American whisky..The Bridesmaids Cake wrapped to take home, there is a Pot was placed where Sam and Nikki would sand for 'creds as 'gifts to the couple'..Mikki would make sure every one got two 'swings" before Moving on, as would Same..

before that was set up, the bridal party got to dance with each of the brides.

Roy would Go before the other three ( after Sam and Nikki )

Shade went After Roy... He Blee[ed and whirled. his eyes ere Green m hus touch , gental , despite not having fully human skin

when the party was done ( including Haley and Can)

Roy's dance (with both) was a little stiff, and very much by-the-textbook as far as style, and it was apparent that his ease of manner when dancing with Dusk was very much a case of the partner and not any of his own doing. But, while it was formal, it was done with competence...he might not be proficient at dancing, but his training in general had him comfortable with moving his body.

As he danced with Lizzy, he floundered, mentally, for a moment for something to say, trying to find some way to not come off as stiff and formal as his dance technique. He finally settled on something...

"Thank you for giving Izzy a nudge. There was a while there where I thought for sure we would be sending her off to finish her tour of duty doing administrative work on a carrier station or sitting a post on one of the Delta colony worlds, but you seem to have helped her find some of her fire again." He paused for a moment, then added, with a chuckle, "Just try to leave her with enough energy to actually take her turn on the duty roster, okay? Starship hulls aren't exactly soundproof..." His tone made it apparent that, while he might not know specifics of how they spent their time together, he'd heard enough--either on his own observation or from reports of SEC personnel on duty--to have a pretty good idea of the intensity of their amorous appetites...but there was no judgment in the words. If anything, it was something of a gentle teasing.

But rather than dwell on that, he continued, "It was a lovely wedding, with two lovely brides. Congratulations to you both..."

He had an easier time finding words with Izzy, being more familiar with her. "I'm still expecting you to get those drone ideas written up," he said, following it up with, "I understand you've found something else to focus your time on, but it was your idea in the first place, and I hope you'll see it through with the same kind of energy you've devoted to this relationship." It could almost have been a fatherly encouragement...but there was an odd inflection to his voice as he mentioned 'energy' that could, were one so inclined, be taken at more than face value.

"But for now, if I may throw a little advice in the mix...enjoy the honeymoon. There's time to focus on the war later...take a little time to enjoy just being alive. It's been a beautiful day, with two beautiful people committing their lives to each other. Give it its proper due...plenty of time for responsibilities later. Congratulations..."

Izzy would smile as Captain Si confirmed that she did indeed know Traci Capshaw and regularly met up with her to play racquetball, and was more than happy to have a chat with her and see about arranging some kind of meeting ”Thank you Nil, it would mean the world to Liz if she could meet her” Izzy said before proceeding to enjoy the rest of her dance with the glamorous Captain Si.

End of slight flex

After dancing with Admiral Hack it would be the the turn of the groomsmen and bridesmaids, with Izzy dancing with both Nikki and Sam, with whom she spent most of the time giggling with, before dancing with the first of the groomsmen; Roy.

The dance with Roy was a little stiff and formal, though that was perhaps to be expected under the circ*mstances. She would listen as he spoke to her in fatherly tones, prompting her to resume her work on the drone project and not get too distracted by a certain redhead ”I will, I promise…I’m close to being able to begin work on producing a working prototype” Izzy quietly promised before Roy went on to advise her to enjoy her honeymoon ”I will, and thank you for stepping up as groomsman, I know you were kind of Shanghaied into doing it…also if this war has taught me it’s that you need to grab what joy you can because you never know what’s around the corner” she said with her eyes flickering over to where Dusk was standing in way of a subtle hint.

Her dance with Shade was enjoyable with him not seemingly having inherited his father’s two left feet or temperament, with her also finding it rather novel to have a dance partner that was a similar to her, which was no doubt a new experience for him too.

Her dance with Shadow however would prove to be rather…awkward…with neither of them particularly wanting to dance with the other but not to do so would be too obvious a snub especially with the whole world watching. With Shadow saying that both her and Lizzy looked good in their dresses Izzy muster up a smile as she replied ”Thank you, and you being here means the world to Liz”

Zob would continue to dance as he spoke, "It seems like a good place to live and also a place I can invest in for business opportunities" he said explaining his reasoning making it sound more like a grand retirement plan, "Though it will be really weird if after a few years I turn green I'll be Bura's jolly green giant" he chuckled.

Lizzy had an emotional but amazing dance with her Godmother Nil-Si. She got her emotions under control and continued the dances.

Lizzy smiled at Roy and replied," I have been trying, I got her to try the drone thing again but she did pretty good as an Omicron operator and she said she enjoyed it. Thank you very much SM." Lizzy was a very good dancer, so she enhanced how well the SM looked.

Lizzy always enjoyed dancing with Shade, and he was always a gentleman.

Lizzy did all the dances when she got to the LC the ran up to him and basically jumped into his arms and gave him a huge hug and kiss on the cheek. " Thank you, Sir, for stepping up you don't know how much that means to Izzy and me, thank you for everything Sir."

Lizzy then took her place for the final dance for Izzy and Lizzy before they run out to head back to the Hermes.

Another slight Flex

Where her dance with Sam been all giggles and whispered gossip concerning their respective sex lives, not to mention the fact that they were probably the “littlest couple” there, Izzy’s dance with Nikki, though enjoyable was a little more…formal. Although she liked Nikki, Nikki had always been more Lizzy and Harry’s friend than hers so they had never really spent much time together alone. As such it would take Izzy a little while before she was able to speak to the Southern girl ”I…um…I’ve kind of been meaning to…um…thank you for watching Lizzy’s back out there and bringing her back home, I know she’s your wing lady and it’s your job but…thank you” Izzy said as they danced together.

After her dance with the LC it was time for the brides dance with her once again finding herself within Lizzy’s arms as they danced to the music.

Tarja would have a couple of dances. The first was with Conrad, with him once again asking if she was alright as they’d danced with Tarja lying through her teeth and saying that she was fine. She thought it was kind of sweet of him to care, but she wasn’t comfortable with the idea of unburdening herself on him, or at least not yet anyway and certainly not here.

The next was with a pilot officer who had initially appeared to be charming only for her to realise after a few minutes that he was only trying to get into her pants. Fortunately Tarja was sober enough to forget how to speak English, with the guy leaving to try his luck elsewhere after his charm was met with baffled looks and broken English…well…more broken than normal anyway.

And then she had a dance with Penny, which was surprisingly enjoyable despite the decidedly drunk redhead repeatedly enquiring after Inga’s availability and preferences, with Tarja quietly informing her, much to Penny’s obvious delight, that Inga was indeed single, but with the warning that she would require gentle handling if she were to be successful in her pursuit.

With Penny disappearing to find herself another drink or possibly Inga, Tarja would take a seat and watch as the brides began their final dance before their escape, with Tarja looking to see if she could spot Meari, NA-CE or even Karl to keep her company.

The dance would begin like the first, with Izzy leading Lizzy in a slow dance at the centre of the dance floor, with Izzy holding her new wife close as they moved to the music. Then at KE-NA’s signal the music would change and a circle of dancers would form around them as the tempo of music increased. It was then that people would begin to try and “steal” the bride with them darting out of the circle to playfully try and grab either her or Lizzy, with Izzy for her part giggling or giving a surprised squeak as they moved away from the would be thief, all the while dancing to, or at least attempting to dance to the music.

The three guys holding the Trays where running low, the servers would tactfully add another 10 shots or shot when it got to close.NA-LE paid her creds and took a shot of the Burian brandy, she would collect her cake after the dance,

So? the Mighty LC Shadow , reduced to a servant... her eyes glistened a bit, she may have had a few more drinks before arriving at the line.

Yeah? Well, I'm just a Guest now, like veryone else, except our station here is to add to the enjoyment of the revelers . Nothing downggrading about it... You have

This would go on for some time, with several of their friends and crew members entering the circle to enjoy the merriment, before Izzy started to flag, with even her boundless energy beginning to fade with Izzy leaning in close to whisper into Lizzy’s ear ”Shall we make our escape?”

That intercession took the form of Roy grabbing Tucker's arm as it co*cked back for another punch, while at the same time the SM kicked the back of Tucker's knee with just enough force to drop the trooper off balance. Roy's grip on his arm kept Tucker from collapsing to the floor.

Tarja would enjoy herself, with her paying in a couple of creds in order to drink a couple of shots of the top shelf alcohol on offer with her probably drinking a couple more than she should as she joined the ring of dancers. With her at one point breaking into the central ring and running over to Izzy and lifting the tiny woman off of her feet and spinning her around with her dress flaring out a little before placing her down in front of Lizzy with a smile as she’d said in a slightly slurred voice ”Congratulations Little Bird, I wishing you both the best!”.

When the troopers came in to allow the brides to escape Tarja would have enough presence of mind not to tangle with them, with her instead ambling over to Meari and putting an arm about her shoulders ”One more for the road friend Meari?

wait! Yiu made a Mistake!..this is too much...

That is ....very generous..I must go, see if i might find him... she took off....

send 5000 creds to Uno for the cake. I know she baked it as a present.. just tell her this is half , the other half was the gift.

Roy looked at Tucker and shook his head slightly. "I guess...if you call that winning..." He gave Shoemaker a look, and added, "Make sure he gets home okay...if Supe's in any condition to do it, make it his project. Tucker's hauled around enough weight for Supe, time for the gunner to return the favor..."

He fought down the urge to say more. They might be in friendly territory, but they were still at war, and if they'd learned anything in the past six or so years, it was that there was no such thing as a totally safe place. Being that drunk would seriously compromise the combat effectiveness of the man if anything went wrong.

And things so often found a way to go wrong.

He gave Shoemaker a nod, wheels in his mind turning as he contemplated an object lesson for the security and infantry details...an emergency muster to the tunnels, about four or five hours after cast-off...those who had overindulged would be in agony, those who'd kept the presence of mind to be a little more moderate in their celebrations would just find it unpleasant. But a live-fire exercise would remind them all that they were at war...and that meant combat could burst on them at any time...

Madison wasn't sure when Shadow had slipped away. One second he was there and the next he wasn't. It wasn't unusual. In every gathering she had been with with him, there was always a steady stream of important people demanding his attention. In the meantime, she had been drinking and dancing with whoever came by, and occasionally talking with a female Angel SEC officer named KA-CE. It was just small talk, easily interrupted when Shadow found her again.

' The Torch..' was slightly longer then the skeeters at midpoint on each wing was a pair of heavy Pulse... on either side of the Nose , was a pai8r of duel barreled Gatlin cannons.. all three skids were about the same height. having the aircraft level , when it was on the ground

'Skeeter MK III"

Based on the Mosquito I design; the MkIII has enhancements to its
Armour Protection (.60×MkI weight)
Improved Armament Capability (1.75×MkI)
Smoother belt housing and firing) for its front mounted 37mm HEAP round gatling cannon fitted inside the nose mount
Four improved Power Cell Output banks for its two wing and two nose mounted Pulse cannon two (1.75×MkI effectiveness for .65×MkI displacement)
