Beth shook her head......I haven't a clue but some of those   accounts were in 12  figures.

  when they reached the Top , they saw  ensign Law  with  his own form of portable  war room for the Admiral, as well as The Admiral and the board.


 ..Ahhh?  SM... you lose anyone... we have more then our fair share of wounded..

Roy shook his head.  "No, Sir.  I'd call ours a textbook op...if the textbook included massive amounts of money as part of the operation.  EDT and their friends out here are going to be VERY upset the next time they check account balances."  He shrugged, and added, "I woula hazard a guess that our target considered himself untouchable...he was trying to secure materials, and he had a handful of mercenary guards in ANSEC uniforms on duty...but he had no serious preparations for a visit from us."

 There was a tired smile from the Admiral,..well?... At lest one Op went  well?  We'll get more into it, at the debrief,  whe Sgt GArrat  returns..he's last op outthere.. and  there are  Dropshuttle troopers  on  his transport..so we should be hearing news  either way.

  I'll COM everyone  when its  time for a chat.

Roy nodded understanding and acknowledgment.  "We'll be in Security, trying to work out a final tally of just what all we got out of this."  He grinned.

"Even just having a list of Smythe's contacts and associates would be helpful enough, I'm sure...but we did MUCH better than that."  He gave another nod, then turned and headed for Security.

   The Admiral  waved them off,..go , relax.... we're  going to have to do some...what some  folks  things  ..might be drastic.. but  we have to settle this station down, before  we leave.

 As they  walked  away,  Beth  kept lookign over her shoulder at Ensign Law's set up.

 finally  after they neared  SEC she  said in a harsh whisper,..you see that set up?... Holy Hamsters....may was  well  had   a pair of  soup cans and  a  string..or.. a Blanket and a  fire?... gods....

 Maria  looks at   Roy  and   smiles,..i think  our chica is worried   about   some one   cutting  into her  territory.. si?

 not with that set up.

Roy chuckled softly.  "Maybe you should teach the others how to properly hack a comm system, so the Admiral isn't stuck with sub-standard options every time you get involved in an operation off the ship..."  It was sound logic...but simehow, he doubted the idea would get much traction...

---> Hangar Dec

Stifling a yawn with the back of her hand as she stepped out of the list, Harry would walk out onto the hangar dec dressed in a fresh ESN uniform. Although technically marine combat boots with candy pink laces were not officially a part of a pilots uniform, nor was the rather large Sanri combat knife hanging from her belt, or the toy Hamlet the Hamster peeking out of her top pocket.

Standing off to one side so as not to get in the way of the ground crew busily working on the neat lines of aircraft within the hangar, she would look for any sign of the others hoping that she hadn't missed them already. She'd never been very good with early mornings and she was kind of hoping that they'd be able to score some more R'n'R when they hit Etna so that she could sleep off the string of combat missions and Delta Nights she'd pulled within this quad, with her quietly wondering whether she and Will would be allowed to spend the time off ship and in a hotel where they had real beds and a mini-bar, though perhaps it would be for the best if they didn't blow all their wages in one go.

Eventually Harry would spot Nikki standing over by the ramp and waiting for someone to turn up just she'd been doing. Feeling slightly silly over the fact that she hadn't seen her standing there and had been consequently standing her like a pudding Harry would quickly move to join her.

    The last day  of staying at Anzio.. some folks    went on shore leave, some passed waiting for Etna.

 On the Hanger Dec, Rivets   had the crews  who were on duty, testing  gatling  cannons on every  fighters for when they would have to fly again.


 Morris  was hobbling..ever so slowly..towards his shed. He  won the argument , that if all he was allowed to do is sit..he may as well sit in the comfort of his shed, and get some work done.

 Dusk was   up and   around, though she clinged to Lilit  as the made thier  way around the Flight lines, Stopping at Shadow's  fighter.. the both started at teh  Nose  art plate from Lady, that  hung in the back of the berth.

 Mann  was  released, but went to his quarters.

 Fowlkes  was  released and was on the Rec dec  with  Will and  Rolfe

 Ma-Ta was on the rec Dec  as well   eating   some kind of  orange and Red salad.

   Larry  moped  aroudn the    Red Dec... Thumping his tail anytime someone went to open the elevator.

 it was  about  about, ebfore  Will had left the table to take a trip down to the HAnger Dec.

 hey?.. You wanna  go down?.. Come On....

 Larry padded into the elevator  and sat  as the  door closed.so?.. where's  Shade   and    The LC?... Or Doc Henry?.. You wanna go there?

 The Beastie just tilted his head.

  when the elevator  opened    Larry     walked out  and ehaded  down the incline towards the Flight lines..

 Will   shrugged and went into the  SEC.

   The larg  made it to the   hanger  bay doors and  laid down, staring out at the   docks.

     Missy showed up with some lasagnia meals for the deck crew...and Morris of course.  "Comon old man."  She teased rivets "you need a break."

   The    walked up the ramp  and  Onto the    HAnger  Dec  and scanned in....  when   one of the Grounds  crew yelled  .." Look  OuT"


  Larry  Barreled into Shadow , Punced up and  down  then     Nudge d   Shade over     and  Pusehd  Him around   with his  nose, then   stood up on his   back  4  Legs and    Dropped  his  from Paws  On Roy's  shoulders… He       truned his head a shot a  long tongue out  at Justin.

 Shadow   was trying to get up muttered, ..gods  damn it!

 Shade   just finished  spinning around..making  his metallic  laughing  sound..

In reply to Kray Shadow (msg # 992):

Justin returned Larry's greeting quickly glancing around

Roy braced himself as he saw Larry rearing up...but even at that, the larg nearly dropped him to his knees.  "Yeah, Larry, we're happy to see you, too," he said, laughing, as he reached up to scratch under Larry's chin.

"Aw, c'mon, LC...haven't you ever had an overenthusiastic greeting before?  I mean, from someone who wasn't trying to kill you..."  His grin deepened with the final comment, thinking of a number of individuals who'd expressed great delight at a chance to try and do in Kray Shadow, only to find out he was far more than they were expecting.

"He's just happy we're back safe, is all..." He patted Larry's shoulder, then gently urged the larg to get back on all its feet.  "I'm not sure how the Vampics would have reacted to an eager larg tearing through their ranks...we might have to try that sometime..."

  ..yeah...well.... be damn  embarrassing to  have to get Stefi to  fix me up, after  i ,made it through an Op...but  got dinged up  by a Gila Monster on Steroids...  Larry Dropped  down  and Thumped his tail.


  ..All Right   Shade, let's go  to SEC and  See how  your sister is doing....

  Shade  Held Up the  three  SMGs  and   pair of  sidearms.. MAn..no wonder the  Cable snapped.... Bring them along, we'll  leave  the extras at SEC.. I'm Sure  Roy won't  mind a few extra  weapons In the office...  The Troopers on Duty can  clean them and stuff... or?  we can take them to the  QM  after  we  Visit.. I have a pair of  sidearms   I'll leave there as well..

  Larry    Blurbled a bit  and ran in a circle...

  what?....

 he repeated it... Shade Bleeped...

 Shadow frowned...dammit... ok?.. we'll go for a run..AFTER.. we  visit  Dusk...ok?...well..doesn't matter if its ok..'casue that's what we're doing...

  LArry Thumped his tail up and  down

 He looked at Roy,..Now i know why he didn't eat me... He figured he  could  draw out the  whole  torture thing...

 To SEC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Watching as the four head off to the Sec Justin decides to let finding out about Dress Uni's for Teela to consider, this way he won't be stepping on the SM's toes.  He makes his way to the Shed to help Cap Morris.

 An Aqra  shuttle painted and flagged  as ESN,  came  onto the  HAnger Dec... Rivets Hurried  to meet it  as well as have some SEC , discreetly  place..just in case.

   Two Occui stepped off    with an Chief  from  one of the BAttleships that had  been  Captured.  Rivets   Greeted  them

 .. I'm Captain  O'reilly .. also called  Rivets?...

 The  MAle  Occui, Dark red skin, spoke,..I am  Lt  Osk..Coast  watcher  from Aqra... this is   my wife  and   teammate..  SGT  Venna..

 The  dark blue skinned  Occui  nodded her head and spoke,..we have come to give our  final  report, before the Fleet leaves.

 ahh.. well.. The Admiral's  on the Rec dec... lets  see if we can find him...


as they  walk towards the elevator , the Dec Boss has the shuttle  turn  around   and move off to the side  a bit, to keep the shuttle bay open for supplies  and  transfers .

<=== From Anzio

After a bit Nikki arrived at the docks near the hangar bay.  She parked a bit away so she could let the guy gather his car in a bit.  She then began to pull things from the trunk for inspection and such "I'll get your stuff Harry...You might want to check with Rivets"
She was lucky there were dollies to help, she had a lot of bags.

  Teh SEC  guys   at the  Top of the  ramp  let  them in as they are  scanned.  . Luke is held up  Until Rivets  is  called  over.

 It will be a  second or so there 'ace'.. The Captain is  makign   his way down the HAnger Dec.


 Luke   was all wide eyed, Lookign up at the Massive hull of the Hermes... he just   Nodded his head.. touching the Outside of the Metal

Teela leaned in to the kid. "Impressive sight, isn't she? And here you are getting to actually put your hand on her hull." She smiled at him, enjoying his awe and enthusiasm.

  Rivets    Came over to  The Doors,..all rigt?.. what the Bloody 9 'ells is goin' on that  Ya need me  here,  ye  can't   let people in by yerself?

 ohmggods... Captain  Rivets!

 The   SEC trooper  Looked at Rivets.. tot eh  Kid.. then to the LAdies...

Teela smiled, shrugged, and nodded her head to Harry. "Ensign Lynch worked this one out, sir. I'm going to help Ensign Rutledge with our bags."

  Luke Grinned   at the SEC  Trooper  who  gave him a  twisted   smile, and Sifted  his  eyes  to Rivets.

  The Captain Pushed his   softcover  back, and migrated the  Cigar stub to the otherside of his mouth. As He waited for Harry.

---> Anzio

After a short drive through the station they would arrive at the docks where upon they would lead a starstruck Luke up the gangplank to await the arrival of Rivets so as to clear the kid to board. No sooner had the Captain arrived that Luke would burst into another bout fanboy-ism, with Harry noting how Teela beat a hasty retreat so that the situation would lie solely at her feet "Hi Captain, this is Luke he's the lad I mentioned to you...he tells me he has technical skills and would like to enlist, specifically with the Hermes if possible" she said, hoping that Luke would be able to calm down long enough to give a good account of himself to the Captain.

In reply to Harriet Lynch (msg # 1004):

Missy had come back to discuss some specifics with Rivets and was standing nearby working on a design modification suggestion on the belt links that might prevent ammunition jamming.

    She looked up, a smile tugging at her lips and listened quietly.

 Rivets raised a thick eyebrow  and Looked at the Kid.. Luke  tried  to Salute..then  tried to shake Rivets's hand, then   tried to Salute a bit....Hi Sir... I  mean  Captain..I mean..  Its   a Pleasure.. I mean Honor... I...

  Relax....  Lookit.. I'm Gonna Have   En Lynch  take ye  over  ta the  Fighters  for a Look see.. I'm be there  in a  Minute, Soon  as  I  Get   Captain Morris...


 The Sec  Trooper Raised  an Eyebrow, but stepped  back to let Harry and  Luke in...
