ANZIO-LAST HOPE

   There  were   2 Guards  as  each door.   as the various  Groups  entered one of the guards     led  them to  a broken down transport .. The Transport showed    signs of  Heavy pulse  impacts, but..  was repaired.... but not  by the likes  of Rivets  crew.

 Below  the transport was a static filed, that was   hidden   by station plates. The Ramp was   down,  two other    people , dressed  in mixmatched  armor  and Uniforms

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


 Shoey looked around as they  walked,what... the  ..9 ..hells.....    Az-el and Jo-wa..  came....  Garret and His people... Harry and her  People

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

  Hemsly was  waving  a Hand,..what i'm saying, if   yer gonna  say' I take you for pie.." there should be pie?

 Willy Grinned,..Maybe  that place we're supposed to attack has  a  pie  factory in it..
.................

 Karson , Lirg  and  McNiel came  from another Direction..

........

 Supe, Duke  and Tucker  from the same direction as  Shoey came from.

ANZIO-LAST HOPE

   With    almost every one accounted for, One   Woman who looked like  she was  In charge  cane  down the Ramp. She was sleek Her  envirosuit had it s sleeves   cut off. Her dark Blue  hair, spoke of Angel backround her  skin color  spoke of Human Blood lines.

 A  Human  .45 was  strapped to on thigh, and  Angels  Blade on the  other. a shoulder  holster , that accented her Breasts as the strap separated them held  an  Angel Steel 'serpent ' pistol . A rare  weapon. her   bent  had  another    Blde on the  left him and  two grenades on the right.

  Her Voice  had  the Music of the Angels...but  an undertone of  cold, like a Human,..Welcome to the Last Hope. I am Captain  SH-Ba... we wil enter, for what will be  a  briefing, then, once    you all decide   you want to   continue... we will.... But first, there are some of your  firneds on the way down.. two  are wounded.. on has an  Aqra   arrow in him.. we will await  them.. so  any one you  amy help.

ANZIO-LAST HOPE

    The Same Door  that HArry   entered,  Henry , Mila , Nagy  and  Hawkes entered.

    Supe  moved  quickly as soon   as he saw the  metal arrow  and Bloody Leg Of Nagy. he  Picked Up  the  , rather large  Nagy, with Little Effort.

    Sh-Ba says,..there is one other group of your epopel out there . Aimee  says they are  ....dealing.. with some of  the Oppressors  of the Station, and  will be along, shouyld they survive..... Please  Follow   Me....

 as they walked up the Ramp  Sh-Ba  said into her  COM,..we have t wo  wounded Humans... have a Med Tech in the Hold.... one has a   Aqra  Arrow in him.

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

  Walking up the Ramp. The Last Hope was Seagreen in Color.  but held the MArkings of  in  ESN  warship, rather then a transport.. there  was an Odd structure  over the   engines, but  two Burners   could  be seen, as with  Most  transports.

  The Ramp lead  directly into the Hold it was  at 1/4th the size of the Hermes Hanger Dec.. Three fighters  ( also  seagreen).. they had the   markings of and Upraised arm holding a Godlen sword...they also had ESN markings... two of them  were Hammer IIIs.. the other one  was a LArgran fighter.

  The Med Tech arrived  a skinny woman with glasses and  another   male Tech..  they  Got  Supe to  put Nagy on the  Hover Cart, cutting away  the   leg of the uniform , spraying it with  Numbing agent... When  she was  done   she   pressed the slide    . Nagy winced and she  Pulled it  out.. Sh-Ba  took the Bloody arrow   and Held it up for the Hermites to see.

  ..This is   a Aqra  Hunting Arrow... its  made to  be reused , as long as the shaft isn't  too bent of broken... she flicks the blood  and Bits of  Nagy's flesh off the  tip the  walks to the nearest fighter, she    Jabs the head   against the    plates   and the  Treble Razors   come out.

 ..the impact of the ehad.. opens the    tri-razors.... any movement causes  the  razors to  cut  more   flesh, doing more  damage.. you do not 'pull them out'.. because the  razors  will cut  deeper..on the way out.. You must push it in slightly,  retract the heads   but  sliding  this   spring lever... she  shows  how the   heads  retract.

 ..for most Humaniods..  a  belly or chest wound is a  killing  blow... But this is not the worst of their  arrows...when  Aqra do Hunts on thier homeworld..or fight  Battles.. they have  an Arrow  , Just like this, that snaps out  treble  hooks.. the only way to remove them, is to   Cut a plug of flesh out..or?..hope you have strong enough  clippers   to Cut through the Aqra  Steele Hooks  and take them out..piece  by piece... needless to say... it isn't  something that can be done in battle...My advice?.... if you see an Aqra  with a bow?..kill it.

 Hemsly    shrugs  as she looks  from Garrat to  Harry,...least they  could , bloody well do.. aye?

 There  people sat  playing   EDT Std  , near the  fighters.. One had a  Tobbaco stick he was  chewing on, a woman with her Flight suit   half way  off  and a 'wife beater' T-shirt on, and..what looked like..a Hillite who had   a Can of..Anzio Beer.

    Garrat stows his gear and goes over his equipment one last time. "Not the most important thing here."  He smiles "But if the station is no longer known for raising humanoid snacks it might be good to have a quaint specialty."  He grins as he cocks his really big riffle.  "Let's get this done, we have empire forces to decimate after this."

"...And all I'm saying is that at no point was actual pie mentioned" Harry responded, having had this argument for most of the journey to the Last Hope. Upon sighting all of the other Delta night groups entering at roughly the same time Harry would roll her eyes and sigh "I do hope this isn't a trap else we're all going to look pretty silly" she said as she moved to join the others as, what she assumed to be, a half-Angel by the name Sh-Ba welcomed them to the station. It would also be Sh-Ba that would demonstrate how to remove the rather vicious looking arrows the Aqra used before then agreeing to supply Hemsley and Garrat with Burian pie once the fight had been won "oh Jayzuz Gar, not you too!" she groaned at the large warrior whilst burying her head in her hands.

Deciding she'd better move the topic of conversation along before questions of whether the pie would be served with cream or custard Harry would address the attractive Half-angel captain "So what exactly are we dealing with here? I mean you must have some idea as to what to expect?"

   Garrat shrugs and grins at her "Hey, the way to a Man's heart and all..."  He checks the balance of the demon sword, frowns and resheaths it, "We're just looking for a reason to keep Anzio in our hearts like these people have already done." He grows more serious. "The station has a lot of spirit. I don't want it to be between Hack and the  Empire. Hack has shown whats left of his human heart when he ordered us down here.  We succeed here, we help him in more than one ways.  Dr. Henry, have you been off having fun without us again?"

  Hemsly  shrugs,..well.. i like  pie....

   Shoemaker    looked over the     few dozen resistance  Fighters , his   eye  checking on the weapons  and  how  well they were  Kept.

 Supe   came back  to claim his  rifle     and stood  By Tucker  and Duke

 Lirg looked  around , some  folks   gave him looks of  hate, some, didn't seem to care.

 Sh-Ba  Nodded to  HArry,  as she   stood  on a Crate...a  Kid..( seemed like a kid)  had  Bright Yellow   hair and   hexagon  dark glasses,  had  Set up a  Vid  Board, the  images  showed on the  inside wall of The Last Hope.

    You will see as Lexoff points out the  areas.. what   we   will have to do... we will get One shot.. and we need to do it, sooner , rather then later..... Here  is what we Know of your  People.. there  are  squads scattered all over the  Damn station.. there are fire fights... most times, the fleet is coming out on top.. but not alwats..Aimee says a group from the Nemesis was  wiped out...

 .... On your ship right  now, are Admiral  White...Fluss   and the Occui  piece of offal...Mock... Fluss must have thought  thier  'cure' for the  Fish Lure would not be tested... it speaks  well of your  Admiral, that it was checked.. and  made 'better'

 ..The Lizard  and the  Verian are dead... we know that much for certain.... The Bug is supposed to take   its  shot, we do not  know who is with her.... so?.. if  even she kills  your last group?  we will still be  in good shape, because they will keep her  Busy, until they die.

 Supe  and a few of the Others  Laugh at  that.

 ..did I say something   Funny? she glared  at them,

 ..No offense Ma'am... but that  group?... I be more concerned of them Blowing a section of the station into The Black..  Supe  grinned.

 her eyebrows  narrowed,..I have  heard   many people  boasted   about.. i have seen  few, that come close to measuring Up...

 Shoey Grins,..Just..Continue..please, Ma'am...


well?...  Once there  were  4   launch openings...  it was   made that way to launch a full compliment of fighters.....later?.. as fighter s  were  destroyed.. it began   oepning for    the Station, the Empire, the Aqra, and the  'independants '.. then.. the other  three   walled of  the Hanger  deck.. leaving ther ESN  with   room   for  2 flights of fighters.... They  have ...1 flight... so?.. what  we pland  to do.. is  Fly the  LAst Hope  over to the  ESN Hanger Bay doors... Blockade the   entrance  as  we    send in  you people.... You will have   2 Missions... One, will be eliminate any one who stops  us  from breaching the walls into the rest of the HAnger  Bay..  and     help that is sent to try to  aid the HAnger,  will....either  come from the  other  entrances..  if we breach the walls, it won't matter.... Anything  Comign from the  ESN side, the  Last Hope, will deal with.

"Oh so is that where I'm going wrong?" Harry asked with a smirk as Garrat pointed out that food was the way to a man's heart "well I'll tell you what, when we get back I'll talk to Gia and get her to teach me how to make cookies for the boys" she said with a laugh before turning her attention back to Sh-Ba.

The plan was fairly simple. They would be dropped off on the ESN side of the Hangar Dec and then would breach the dividing wall so as to eliminate whatever was on the other side with the Last Hope acting as a rear guard "How thick is the wall? I mean do we have enough explosives to take it out without sucking us all out into the Black?" Harry asked. Killing whatever guards the enemy had wouldn't prove too difficult as they were packed to the gills with small arms and they were all more than proficient in their use. Blowing down the dividing wall however could prove problematic...then again if there were any fighters actually in the ESN side of the hangar then she supposed that they could always use their heavy pulse cannons to cut a hole through to the other side. Assuming of course that they loaded that is.

   Sh-ba  Nodded to Harry as she Looked  at the  images that Lexoff  pointed out...we have   three  things in our  Advantage... the    First, is  that The Last Hop is Viewed as a privateer.. they see  us  coming and Going all the time... everyone leaves us alone, sicne they don't know  who we may have made a contract with.

 ..the  2nd thing, is they  thing we are just a   Junher transport with a  few fighters  aboard.. But, this  is  a  full capable  ESN sloop with a Modified   Hold...  we hid andother pair of thrusters   hidden in the Back.. and  we have one heavy, fleet class  pusle  gun per side... we also have  4  AA guns per  side..but they have to be manned...because of out ..ESN.. designation, our  flight  path to  and from   this   abandoned  dcok.. must go past teh ESN  Hangerbay Doors... we'll just be getting closer then  we normally do.

 ..the third  thing?   Only the Sation Corvette  can  fit inside the outer sphere.. we  can take on the corvette, if that would happen.. The Corvette called  'The Blood Runner is a Human Irishman... and a Pirtate.. but.. he is   an ESN CAptain, by the grace of  Admiral White... were plan to  attack the  other  three doors  with   The LAst Hope.. with any luck we won't need to...

 ..now?  Because the Empire and thier friends.. demanded thier  'own space".. everythign  the ESN  needs  to run thier shuttles  and figthers is  in the Hanger Bay.. I'm sure  people like you  can come up with some ideas how to blow the  walls?

   Sh-Ba  looked around as the banter   among the Hermites  continued,..we do not have  much in the way of  armor.. we have  ammo.... we have power cells.. so if you need a breast plate, or maybe  a Helmet.  see if  one  fits you

  ..I must make a confession as well... we set teams out, to ehlp the other   ESN  squads around the  Sation... I cannot  spare  any other  folks  for your landing.... So it will be a  full Hermes   operatoion... except  for  Two  insiders we have on the grounds  crew.. when they see The LAst Hope.. they  will   Cover thier Ornge  with Breen Tunics....you may have  to shoot   ESN   crew, if they try to stop us....But this has to end, before  the others can send  troops in, and the station becomes a Battle  ground..

 McNeil speaks up,..I see your  Great LC is no where to be seen?.... Nor  the SM... So..  I will lead the Mission and...

 ..that's not Going to Happen, LT.... I'll lead   it first...


 Hemsly    Holds up his COM.....Ma'am.. ye   should be listin' ta   this...

 Hacks  Voice  was  Cold.. and HArd,..Lt   McNeil? I  allowed you to   go on this Op, because  Capotain McCloud is still  a bit ...out of sorts... If..and When.... The SM gets there.. he will take Charge...  if he...cannot.. the  SHadow..if they Both Fall... Then Garrta... Then Shoemaker... You do not have the Ops  backround ..ON MY SHIP... to lead anything  i do not ask you too?.. Is that..Understood...

 McNeil looked   a bit peeved,..Aye  , Sir...sorry...Sir...

 Hemsly  Cut  the COM,..Bloody trator you are?... reportin' me  to the Admiral like  i was in school again?

 ..Ma'am...  I'd  follow  ye up the steepish Moutnain   they have in The Black.. but i've seen  these  blokes  work... so 'ave you... just   settle in and  we can do out bloody job.


 Karson   spoke up,..speaking of  which...  Me and Hemsly  have  some C-10.. if  we can fins  , to setal a power  cell or  two from thier shuttles of Fighters..  we can blow a hole.. might blow   the whole damn wall... but  we'll need  time?

    Garrat is not afraid to listen to advise, "Do you think you can do that? "

Roy chuckled slightly at Shadow's response.  "The larg is part of the Hermes crew.  He goes where we go.  And, trust me, you don't want him to prove his loyalty to the Hermes.  Somewhere out near the Creshian section, there's a chewed up arm laying next to a mangled pistol that's pretty solid evidence.  Now, some little girl...I'm guessing some kind of holo projection, since she's apparently able to travel the station alone faster than we can in a vehicle...she told us to come here, and she didn't say anything about leaving the larg behind.  So, you decide...we're going in, he's coming with us...is it gonna be over what's left of your dead body?"  His expression was open and frank...stating facts, not making threats.

Roy snorted softly.  "No, if we fail, THEY have a mass send off.  We'll be among the bodies."  He grinned wolfishly.  "So, let's not fail.  We've got people on the inside...if necessary, they should stay behind the scenes, on the hangar side, until we can give them a signal...then, if we need it, they roll a few grenades in behind enemy lines just before we rush them.  We've got three snipers...if that Verian rifle shoots anywhere near as well as the Largran one did, anyway.  At least two snipers.  We've got a pair of demo specialists...if there's a hatch in that wall, we should try and blow that, and if not, or perhaps in addition to that, we should blow close the center of the wall...minimizes the chances of collateral damage creating a hull breach...it's a shame we don't have some thermite paste."  He paused for a moment, and added, "We do have Stoly sitting on a pad...with an assault shuttle.  If that can cut a hole in a ship's hull, it can do a number on an interior wall on a station, I'm sure.  He could even open up two or three points, although it may be to our advantage to keep it at one breach, and turn that into a chokepoint for their counterattack."

He grinned at Karson and Hemsly..."Not as sexy as using charges, I'm sure, but it's still pretty fast and very controlled."  He glanced down at the larg, and gave a smile of genuine fondness. "And unless someone on that deck has a pregnant larg that will distract Larry, I feel safe in saying that we'll capture the ESN section with minimal risk of injury"

Henry listened to the chatter as he attended to Mila's needs, making sure she had water and something to eat. This sounded like an all-out assault and he wasn't sure what part they could play in it.

When Larry the larg arrived, he called him over to have something to eat and drink as well.

With the arrival of Shadow, Roy and Flores the plan of attack and the required details for it's execution were quickly taking shape and was rapidly moving out of her skill set. Harry wasn't an assault trooper. She was a pilot, street fighter and occasional assassin and as such lacked the training and equipment to excel at this kind of an operation.

At Sh-Ba's mention of the "ESN" Corvette Harry would turn her attention away from the blood stained Larg and to the captain "If the corvette is liable to cause us trouble, we have a couple of pilots in the room, so there's nothing to say we couldn't relieve the hangar of a few fighters and help take it out" she said, though a lot depended on what the reduced flight had to offer in the way of fighter craft and whether or not they were in a suitable condition for battle. Granted it would strip the team of people for the assault but on the other hand it wouldn't matter all that much if a corvette started causing them trouble.

   as she    waved an  arm to  The  Yellow  haired Tech,..I will Have Lexoff  send Your shuttle Pilot  the   fastest route  In.. I would suggest he waits, until we launch out  fighters, so  less people take Notice of the shuttle  entering the     inside of the   outer shell...

  Saying something in an Odd Language, Lexoff  answers, and   Brings up   a ' overhead..slice" of the  station.

  ..The Inner Sphere is the heart of the station.. the Upper Half, contains the   HQs  of all races who...'run the show"  she   turns back, The Outter    sphere... perhaps..'shell' would be a better name...contains   the  living paces   on  ..some..80 % of the population.. while the    Tubes have the  other  20%  spread out  in   little groups....  business  and   shops   are scattered  about, but most of the living   and Commerce is in the Shell.

 ..the  access tubes help get   traffic   from    the MAin tubes   and spheres... and help keep  traffic,manageable... you see  the  Red  Dots that are  flashing... Those  are the Static fields   to enter the  Inner sphere... once you enter  the sphere you are flying in Atmo.....   she  shrugs  and Looks at HArry,

 .. should   something go  wrong.. you will not..'fall'   But you will drift... and O2 is very..very thin... if  you  get into the  ari in a fighter.. it  will be Much llikeflying in the  upper  atmo of  an Earth, or Burian type planet.... Ships  larger then  The LAst Home, cannot   enter, because they will  'fall' one direction or the other,  so  smaller transports and    Cargo  shuttles   need to be used... the static  fields are purposely built   to not allow  destoyer   size   and  up...'fit'

 The Skinny  Med Tech   comes  over, pushing up her  glasses,..the one Called Hawkes   can go in... the one called Nagy.. should not.. his   leg, will heal.. but  he'll be  of little use  if he has  to run..or even walk far?

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

   Larry  Came over     he thumped  his Tail.. he   looked  away from the food, but   lapped at teh water.

   Sh-Ba  saw the animals   and  said,..I have been in the Balck, most of my life.. I have never  seen a Larg  with Humans.......your Human  animal  would normally be prey, for a Larg?.....But..I must ask you?... what can those animals do?...if they can help search... they may aid    the mission, once the wall is breached ... I...must be honest... I am Hoping we  find only  fighters on teh other side of that wall?.... But if they are breeding, or Holding Chambers... we  may need to find out, where they storage sections are...
........................

 Lirg  came over to  Garrat,..this.... is  odd thing, is it  not...fighting   people  who should be  fighting with us, as they fight for, those we fight against?


 ............

 Will   grinned at  Harry,..now?  If you take off in a fighter.. just remember who brought you to the Dance!

...........

 Duke   stood  with Supe  and Tucker,  as they sorted though the  ammo  the  restance   folks    displayed for them

...........

 Shadow  asked in a very..un-Shadow like Voice,..is there.... access from teh Hangers  to the   HQS?

As Duke goes through the ammo being sorted, he throws out any that are bent or malformed in any way so that the ammunition that used will be fired correctly.   He will also instruct Supe and Tuck in the same way if they aren't doing it already.

Studying the map of the station, Harry would make a point of noting where the static fields were located as well as the fact that if she were to enter through one of those points that she would be moving into a low atmosphere environment "Oh don't you worry about that, I can fly in anything" Harry responded almost absently as her eyes traced the potential routes and hazards she would face were she to follow that course of action.

Hearing Will's voice however, Harry would turn to smile at him as she cheerfully responded "hey there will be plenty of chance for you to impress me with your gun play when we enter the hangar...besides there's no guarantee that I'll be flying, those fighters could be show pieces for all we know" she said with a roll of her eyes that said it would be about typical for a station to not have any fighters already armed and fuelled for combat "...but hey if I do wind up flying, see if you can get me a souvenir, I didn't have chance to grab anything last time we went out to play" he said, chuckling softly before turning back to the station maps.

Roy grinned.  "We're still figuring out what all Larry is good at.  I don't know anything about largs, as far as how they stack up to dogs as search animals...but Larry's a meat-grinder on very fast legs, and he's very good about doing exactly what he's told.  He doesn't like people pulling weapons on us...but the one time I told him to get the gun, he did...along with about two-thirds of the gunman's arm."  His smile was an odd combination of fondness, pride, and a trim acknowledgment of those who'd already died.

"At a guess, I'd say odds are good, even if he's got a good sense of smell, that it'd be difficult to explain to him what to search for, if it's Gavas.  But if we can get him on one flank of the opposing forces, so they don't see him coming, he can make our job a lot easier.  And once we clear the hangar area, he'll be REALLY effective at holding it."  He glanced at Harry, and added, "His bite force is amazing...I didn't know you could crush a Creshian skull like that, and it hardly even slowed him down."

He paused, then added, almost sheepishly, "That's why he's not eating...he's had snacks.  A lot of snacks..."

   Sh-Ba   was  taking a Measure of the Group, Flores  was  showing off the  Bow.. and.. stole the   arrow the Med Tech had on   Nagy's   hover  Cart.

   She   looked at Shadow  who had    a soda  from the Ship's  cooler. you'er not looking over the supplies?

  ..Naw?.. I'm Good..My Sanri Blaster  ishould be charged up... i have all my blades... Though.. i was   Having a Thought of   using one of your  fighters...

 The  three people playing cards by the Fighters   stopped  and  looked at him, the Hillite  grinned the jagged tooth  Grin,.. you would have  to  kill one of  us, to  get our  fighter...  his dark Blue skin setting off the    pure  white   eyes , that appeared to have  no pupils

 ..relax  there, Bluebell... I'd  never take  another person's  fighter, Unless i thought it  was an emergency ...

  right now...an extra   body  coming off the ramps  will look good...and  if there are    fighters  in there?... and  we need  them?  we'll have  our  pick..

 Nagy asked,what about me?.. if I can't  go in..what the 9 hells  do i do?

 ..if you what to take  part?... You can Man one of the AA   Guns.. we  are short a few people.....

 she pointed to  a burly  fellow  but the   Docking  ramp.....Close it  Up... we launch in 5...

  she    started to move forward to the Hatch was that lead to the   Bridge......  Nagy Hobbles  his  way over to the Gun  Guns  nearest the    Ramp doors, he   studied the  way the guns  would be 'run out'

  Shadow  came  over    Larg was  sitting  By  Mila looking.  his  eyes   tracking   every one  he 'knew'.

 ..Doc Henry?... I'm thinkign   the  effect of  a bunch of people running down the ramp will help  make   those  on the HAnger Dec..thgink strongly  about  surrender?...  so?.. let them see you.. but hang Back....  look for  anyone flanking  and  such...but as we begin to search....  I still want to knwo if there is a  Way up to the HQs  from the hanger decs?.. i mean?..there has to be ..right?

Roy grinned.  "If there's a way, we'll find it.  One thing at a time, though...let's blow the lid off their live-food trafficking, first, and then we can see about killing anyone who's left behind it."  He went back to their air-van, retrieving the Verian rifle.

"This goes against my standard practice...on so many levels," he said when he got back.  He began intensely analyzing the rifle.  "If we need another sniper, though, I'd kick myself if I left this thing back here."  He cycled the action a couple of times to make sure he was comfortable with it.  "Wish I had time to try it out on a target range...we were damned lucky with the Largran one."  He shrugged, dismissively, and looked over at the larg.

"Larry, come here.  Better leash you again, at least until we get some idea of where to send you in once we get there..."  He held the coiled leash out, and shook it gently.

  Larry Tilted his head back   and Forth  as Harry   Moved .  Will Grinned,..Hey?..LC  said the thing  saved him, then saved  him and Flores.... SM  say  it  eats  Badguys....so..Might be a good thing, for him to like you?

 The  ship began to 'float' as Grav locks  where opened. The Static   filed   beow them   , seem to swallow  the transport , as it  'sank' through the field.

  Once the  Bell rang 3  times to tell them they were clear.. It  slowly turned, as if in no hurry at all.

 Sh-ba   returned to the  Hold, She pointed at the three pilots,..Mount Up...  jump off on my orders... The rest of you  come forwards  a bit to clear the Hold for the fighters...

 The Hermotes  Moved  forwards  and Shadow  looked around the Hold,..You know?  Captain?.. with those  three fighters  in the Hold... and  everyone knows  you have the  three fighters... what  kind of Good  can you carry ?

 She  gave  Shadow  a cold look,.. the  fighters     Launch and   stay  in flight unless  we  go out  empty.. the same for when we  come back... But we  try to  keep our loads  light ...but profitable...

 Largralite..... Sanri-ite....

 ..Yes..... one  load. half the hull of  either  , not  only  aids the   station... but  could by two of these transports...

 Tucker  looked   confused, Supe  said,..that's the  stuff they Mine out in the Black..mostly asteroids .... they are the same thing, Just have the  first part named for  what cluster they were  found in...

  Will looked at Supe, Shoey stopped  chewing his gum and  stared...

 ..what?.. I was gonna be an engineer  when i was in highschool... they taught us about powercells... that's what ya need to make them..... he shrugs his shoulders..

 Flores bit her lip a bit as she looked at him,..so?  why  are you lugging around   a Heavy  weapon, instead of wearing a LAb coat  or  Tech Orange?

 Supe   shrugged again.....I blew up part of the Lab when i tried to ..improve' a powercell..then i beat the  9 hells out of  two geeks  who made fun of me....next day, i was in the  ESN, learning how to be a heavy Gunner.

Despite the stories that the Larg had already saved both the LC and Flores, Harry still edged her way behind Will as the the Larg in question turned it's attention to her "look I like him just fine...over there, away from me" she said, breaking off the nervous look she was giving Larry in order to glare at Garrat as he teased her "hey it's not funny! Dogs scare the hell out of me!" she complained from somewhere behind Will's shoulder, quietly hoping that Larry would lose interest in her and go to sleep.

Roy shrugged.  "Parhaps right before we go into a firefight is not the best time for de-sensitization therapy, " he said, with a nod in Harry's direction (since there wasn't much of her visible behind Will.)  "I agree, it's a good idea to face your fears, and at least get them to the point where you control them, and not the other way around...but I'd rather have Harry alert and focused on the fight, instead of shaky and euphoric about facing a pathological fear."

He gave Larry a reassuring pat, and continued, "Pretty sure Larry will keep his distance, unless you really need his help.  He's pretty smart about people...and now he knows he should leave you alone."  He grinned and looked down at the larg.  "Right, Larry?"

 ..I dunno?.. distract them...  wing one or  two, Until I get close  enough to paint the dec....

 ..you might be  dead  before you  hit the end of the ramp....

 ..I'm  kinda  fast...

Az-el speaks up,..The LC  has  done a few   Missions for the Hermes... he is still alive....

  I do not  understand  How....

 .....

 Larry Looked  up  at Roy and thumped his tail..  but  as   Shadow   Pulled his   weapon   he stood  on all 6 legs  and flatten out...

 Supe Traded     his pulse rifle  for   an Old...beat up, human 30 Cal MG.., Draping  two Belts  of  ammo over  his shoulder,,  the one in the  breech    over his left arm

  Tucker had   a Puls erifle..

 Lirg Ha dHis rifle..  and  had it  ready  Karson..and Hemsly   had    a homemade  grenade in  eact hand... McNeil Had  a Grease gun as she moved  closer to Shadow.

 Flores   Nocked   one of the deadlyb arrows , and pushed her self between McNiel  and  Shadow.. giving   Flores  a Cold  smile.

     Jo-wa and  Az-el had thier     puls erifles  ready.

  Ma-Ti stood  close to Garrat  with her  sniper  rifle.. she had no exprsession on her  face..  but her  rifle  was  ready

Teela made sure she had some room around her and rolled her shoulders before bending them inwards. Soft cracks were heard and she moaned low in her throat as she let her wings extend and unfurl from the compact mass they were against her back. The main joints rose until they stood level with the top of her head and she expanded them as much as she could and shook them. She rolled her shoulders again and took a deep breath in, checking the pulse rifle before doing a final check of all of her weapons.

When her head lifted and her silver eyes were visible again they held nothing but the promise of death for their enemies.

Roy gave the larg a predatory grin.  "Not yet, Larry...not yet."  He checked all his weapons again, even though he had a mental inventory...the machine pistols were fully loaded, the Verian pistol still had seventeen shots on its charge...both knives were ready.  He'd already checked out the Verian sniper rifle.  He leaned against a bulkhead, relaxed...eight minutes was a long time to stand ready.  He wanted to save the energy.  A minute or two before contact was plenty of time to get ready.

"Save it up, Larry...we'll be there soon..."  He reached down and patted the larg.

  Shadow  was  dancing in place..getting a bit better  at his   moves...

 Larry   tilted his ehad   as he Looked at Shadow, the  swung his   large  head towards   Roy  and  gurgled  a bit.

  Sh-Ba  frowned at the  Hemsly and even more at Show ...as she  said,.. we have  two people  ready on the Hanger  Dec.. they  will be on  either side of the   static field... so?  they should be safe...

 Will was   Grinning.. Shoey    was chewing his  gum a bit  faster... The Gun ports  wer  opening , Nagy's Bubble  went   just a little   pasy the Hull wall  as  did the others.. they had  no gunner s on the port side...  they had  all three AA  guns on the   starboard  armed..


  Shadow  said over the COMs....beth?  can you see  anything  in the other side?

 ...no..nothing..it s black..

 ..that means....

  Hack ehre.. that means  the area is Under  Demon Control....whether its  supplies..food   or   warplanes.. its  theirs ..

 ..that's  all I needed  to know..

 The ship  got closer...  Hemsly such the  song off after it was over.. they could see  to  orange  pant legged  people with Blue  tops headed to  either side of the static  field..  it shimmered, meaning  things  could go  in and out  easier..

 Sh-ba  stood  behind them as the ship veered  closer  and the ramp came  down the whole way

 ..Last Hope!,,You'er  Getting too  Close and...

  Nagy and the   AA Gunners  opened up  chewing through   crates  and  Bodies.. The Shadow    yelled.......wahhhhhh...hoooooooooo  and  Jumped the LAt 10 yards   through the static  field..   he  hit   and Rolled m Blasting  the first Orange  suit he saw.. there  were  two  fighters  still on the Dec.. one on each side.... a Burly Tech  came At Him with a giant Pipe  wrench, Shadow   shifted  and    drove  His Blade into the  fellow  and  they both fell to the  dec.

 Lippen and  Cora   Oepned   up from the     top of the ramp before charging down...   Supe  ran down the left side  letting out Bursts   from teh  30 cal.

 The Angels walked  down   coolly aiming    at   targets..  Black shirted   SEC  were   running down  stairs   on  wither side of the   Hanger Dec  where offices  were..

 Hemsly and Karson   followed  shadow     and used  sidearms in thier  left hands  as they held their  'grenades' looking for something to blow up.

 a tech ran towards the  Bodies that were  Shadow  and the Big Tech..she never  made it as   a nasty   Arrow   seemed to spout from her left hip, she  fell with a   scream of    pain... McNeil   ran down with her    weapon

 Lirg  and Ma-Ti  looked over the   area    first shots like they were paying for them out of thier pocket.

  Will    Moved  ahead of Harry  as they  ran down the ramp

 Tucker  and Duke  were Near Supe...

Roy chuckled as Larry gurgled at him.  "Yeah, Larry, everyone's confused by Shadow dancing.  But if it gets him ready, more power to him..."  He gave the larg another pat, then leaned back and smiled at the antics, and at Sh-Ba trying to make any sense of them.

When the music shut off, he raised himself up from his leaning position, tensing slightly.  "Real soon, now, Larry..."  He slipped the sniper rifle from his shoulder and held it with one arm, resting the majority of its weight on his shoulder.  Shadow leapt clear, and Roy shook his head slightly, still grinning at the LC and his choice of tactics.  He let the others lead out, rifle in one hand and the leash in the other.  "Don't pull, Larry, you'll throw off my aim..."  He stopped at the static field, surveying the battle and looking for targets...and, more importantly, for anything that looked like organized resistance.  Anyone he saw giving orders became a priority target...as long as he could keep the station forces in disarray, he'd be adding a major advantage to their attack.

And there was always the option to sic Larry on them...

Roy shifted focus, thinning out the black uniforms on the stairs...especially if he saw anyone pointing a weapon at Larry.  It didn't take long to empty the sniper rifle, and he set it down, muttering, "It's a shame I didn't have more rounds for that Largran rifle..."  It had made really large holes in the people he hit, and seeing someone next to you suddenly hollowed out by a round you never saw coming was a great morale-crusher.  But it had served that purpose earlier.  He scanned the battle, looking for a line of approach to the stairs that wasn't the focus of too much fire, and at least semi-protected...

Tapping her foot along to the music Harry would join the rest of the team in their preparations; checking her weapons and armour...well...flak vest were good to go as well tying  the black and white skull bandanna that had been hanging about her throat about her head so as to keep her hair out of her eyes whilst she did her thing.

It was as she was checking that her Uzi was locked and loaded for the third time that she'd burst into a gale of laughter when the subject of Captain Lightning came up with the look on Sh-Ba's face making the situation even more comical. However before long all the banter would dry up as The Last Hope made it's final approach into the Hangar Dec.

As Shadow hurled himself off of the ramp at the nearest enemy, Harry would follow Will down the ramp "Come on boys! they're playing my song and it's time to dance!" she gleefully shouted, quickly side-stepping behind Will to avoid being knocked over by Larry as it shot down the ramp like a rocket "Nine hells that thing scare's the hell out of me!" she hissed into Will's ear before continuing down the ramp to take cover behind some crates. ONce she was in position she would scan the area for any sign of enemy troopers and more importantly the ESN fighters the hangar was supposed to contain.

    Will  Just chuckled as he peppered  the  Deck  with fire  from his grease Gun..   Aiming  for the legs  and  letting the enemy fall in pain, Unable to   fight...unless they dropped  down?..then they  took rounds to the chest and head.

 Hemlsy  Tosses   one of his 'biskets' towards the fighter  on the Left,  where the Gathering of  Fluid ..went Up Like a Newyears rocket..

  other BArrels  exploded   Fire   raged   High.   and the  Fighter  starts to  smoke  from  O2 in it s lines...  The Black  uniforms on the  2nd     landing   caught fire.. They screamed  and Fell, or  Jumped.. those who  Jumped , merely landed  in the  burning  Mass of    cleaning fluid...  smoke  started to   Rise... Shadow  shouted...

 ..head of the Other side!!!!


 The Orange suited   enemy didn't have to be told   when they saw the  greenish smoke of  Powercell casings....The white Hot   explosion  sprayed the  area  with  droplets of   fire.. the Bottom  two  stairs were Gone, and  the burning, shattered bodies of the Black  uniforms  were scattered about..

  Top Landing still held 4  troops   counting the Offcier  who was pointing out  Targets.

 Tucker   Fell    as his Back  was   Hit..  Supe   ran Over   to   Proect  him  as he  tried  to   being his  30 Gal to Bear

Duke  was   near them firing   away.

 On the right hand side.. One    person in a flight  suit was shouting as the wounded  Larg clawed its  way ( literally )  up the  stairs...  The fighter  Below thier   stair was  safe  from barrels.. but it was getting  crowded...

 Jo- wa  fell  as  two Pulse  round   hit his chest barely an inch aprt.. Az-el's eyes looked for the shooter.

  Lirg was on one knee he had taken  two more   rounds  and  it was starting to wear on him, his  chest plate  was  fragmented from  hits..  From Behind  Him.. Ma-ti  hit  one of the shooters  from the  left had  side..  the Body  fell into the    burning, smoking  wreck of the HAmmer  IV.

   Shadow Waved to  Harry... he pointed   at his  own leg that  was   covered in Blood.. though he had been covered by the  man he gutted, so it was hard to tell....

  He pointed at his chest..and shook his head  no... then Pointed at her..then to the remaining Fighter.. and Nodded his head  ..yes..

  The Man In the   Flight   suit  was  thrown against the  Wall  as he looked  at the Aqra  arrow in his chest..  in reflex...he   pulled it out,  and the  blood  flowed  like a fountain... Flores grinned.

 Roy Could see the  Larg  fighting His  way Up the stairs..  he saw the   fellow in the  Fight suit  die... there were 7   black uniform left on the stairs.. but now they were worried  about  the LArg..

 Hawkes  stayed  close  to  Henry Like a Human shield..  he had  taken a hit in the right  thigh.. but  pushed  past  it to fire  at the   15 or so Orange    suits that were still left...

 Both of the resistance people, on the  Dec,  had  died.

 Garrat  saw  the explosion and the   Black uniforms on either side of the Hanger...

 Teela saw the  same.. and the   shrinking  mass of  orange  suits that could  still fight

Roy broke into a dash to the stairs, following Larry.  A machine pistol was in one hand, he used the other to help him stay steady going up stairs covered with blood and body parts.  Once he had a relatively clear line of sight, he started firing bursts over the larg, into the black uniforms that were shooting at Larry.

Teela waited a moment, waiting for Larry to cause holy hell before erupting out of the transport and taking a leap into the air, her wings carrying her to the scaffolding and walkways above where she began shooting down into the mass of black and orange.

Fire. Move. Fire. Move. She kept repeating the pattern but making her movements random so no one could guess where she was heading next. She saw the shrinking group of orange-suited bad guys and made sure none of her people were in their midst before lobbing a fragmentation grenade at them.

"Fire in the hole!" She said over comms before moving to another position.

From her position behind the crates Harry would fire several short bursts of fire from her Uzi at the orange clad people attacking them. It was as she was doing so that she would catch sight of Shadow and his pantomime, with the blonde pilot turning to look at the sole surviving Hammer by the stairs  before turning back to nod at Shadow with a grin on her black painted lips.

After firing another quick burst she would duck down into cover and speak to Will in a loud voice so as to be heard over the sounds of battle raging all around them "Will! cover me,  I'm heading for the fighter" she said nodding her head in the Hammer's direction. Moving into position she would wait until Will began to fire before breaking cover and sprinting towards the fighter in a zig-zag pattern like they'd taught her in basic so as to make herself a harder target to hit, all the while praying that the Hammer was combat ready and not a show piece.

Garrat remained on the ramp somehow staying up right as he fired his anti material gun on full auto into the dark soldiers on the right side of the room.  His height made him a target but allowed him to look down over the top of his comrades.  His large high velocity rounds punched through any cover the enemy found and would do fatal damage whether it hit the ankle or the chest.  He relied on Ma-Ti to handle the other side of the room.

   Shadow  Had Just Finished  a woman with His trench knife    after  she  tried to batter him  with Cargo Lever.     has He looked  around  he saw Henry.. Pointed to him  , then mila and waved them over..mila  Barked..

  Duke..    took care of Tucker  with  some  derma foam while Supe  took a  pair  of  round  from  the  left...  his MG  still firing.

  McNeil  looked tired and  was a few  feet from Shadow  as he waved for Henry.

   Sh-Ba  shouted to those on the Ramp.....  you have to get in..or get off.. if that pilot gets the HAmmer  flying, I will have to  Move the ship ...


 Lirg,   jumped off   followed  By Ma-ti.. Lirg still    firing  as Ma-ti   trimmed another Black  suit from the left side.

  Hawkes   Limped along with  Henry,  his  'easy going ' looks replaced  by one of   pain and fury.

  Shoey reached  Lippen and  began to    spray    foam into the   Cut   KArson   stood  near  him  firing  with a side arm

 Harry  and Will     moved through the  battle Will jerked  for a Moment but kept  Moving..  two Orneg suits, some  what protected   By a Hover Jack were  hear the fighter..  Will  fired   at the   one    closest to them and the MAn went  down. then launched himself   ito the  Woman Behind  him  bringing  her    Down and slammed the  greasegun butt into her face....GO..HARRY!

 Hemsly Made hIs  way to  Shadow.

   Flores    went to  Supe , Duke  and Tucker.... she looked  for targets.. but   the enemy was   all, but thinned out.

 Roy's  weapon took out the  Closest one..  Garrat's weapon  Killed the last one they  could see... though he  heard    screams of surprise   from two of GArrt's round that went the through  the wall.. and  another one  from the weindow.

  Larry  stopped  at the   first  landing, seeing  no more moving  people..  He looked  back at   Roy..his bloodied   Teehc  and  dripping Jaws in  somewhat of a  Smile... But Larrys sides  were laboring..his   eyes  held   pain...

"I think that's all of them..." he said, tossing the emptied dermafoam canister aside.  "Watch my back...don't let any bad guys sneak up on me."  He replaced the empty magazine in the machine pistol he'd been carrying, and pulled the other, proceeding carefully up the remaing steps and angling toward the door that had disgorged all the black uniforms.  He hadn't looked that closely at any of the fallen bodies...some of them weren't much to look at, any more...but the black uniforms put him on edge...EDT units they'd fought before had been in black uniforms...

As Will dealt with the pair of orange suits, Harry would dash across the open ground and quickly scramble into the waiting fighter, her fingers dancing across the controls with engines running before she even started strapping herself into the flight seat.

Lifting off Harry would slowly turn the fighter so that it's nose pointed down the hangar dec, hoping that any remaining enemy combatants would get the message and run before they were hosed down by the Hammer's weaponry "You have fun boys and girls, I'm off to dance with the demons" she cheerfully spoke down her comms, using the time it took the Last Hope to move out of the way of the static field to "test fire" her weapons at any black or orange suits foolish enough to still be in the hangar whilst being sure to avoid hitting her own people.

Once the way was clear she would manoeuvre out into the black and move to link up with the remaining fighters from the Last Hope.

He looked to Garrat and Teela, gesturing that he would get low and push the door open, they should cover the room.  "Sit tight, Larry...I think we've got this..."  He patted the larg, then sat on the floor, bracing himself for a moment before pushing the door open with his foot, and adding his machine pistol to the weapons pointed into the room beyond.

Henry tested the liquid, confirming his suspicions that it was waste matter, but not of human origin.

"Looks like a sewer line got ruptured, but it's not human waste. Or at least, not pure human like you or me," he reported.

ANZIO-LAST HOPE

   The  Battle on the Hanger  Dec was about Over... a Pair of Orange suited  crewmen where on thier knees with thier hands  Behind thier heads.

  Roy, Teela, Garrat,Ma-ti and Larry where either in, the office , or , like Larry outside the Door
  As Roy  Kicked open the   door He saw a Creshians..oddly enough.. wearing  a Black  Tunic over his  Empire  Uniform. A Creshian side arm still in  its   hand,  But its body nearly  Cut in Half  by  Garrat's two  rounds.

  In this  office , was a stairway leading up to a Hatch way.. A computer   was running on the Deck, and  some more  filed  cabinets.. but there  were  dozens of the. Tall thin,  made for storing discs.

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

  Shade Pointed to the   slight  depression that the Fluid  was leaking Out,..Hemsly.. Get Karson  and  Open this can  up...

 With a Whistle to   Karson,and a wave,  the scot asked,..How  Big we talkin'  LC?

 ..at least Big  enough for a person to walk through... but not  bigger , then...say  a aircar, drive through..

  Hesly  was  thinking  as he pulled  around His pack. why , ye  so concerned   'bout the size?

well?.. no use   making a hole  if  we can't go through.... and... we don't know what's on the other size, so we don't want to kill too many prisoners..or... Give them  a way to counter attack, if its  just thier Dec  force..

 Karson Came Over  and the Two wen to work...

 Shadow  sat on the  Crate and Looked at his leg wound... the  Med tech assistant  from the Last Hope  came running down.

 The woman shook her head,..that's not a Gunshot...

 Shadow waved over to the  , now  smoking   aircraft  and   destroyed  stair way,..piece of railing Go me... seemed like a good  idea at the time...

 She  should he r head and  cut away  the  Uniform from around the    Wound, she scanned it  and removed the  metal..

 while you'er hear.. take a look at Hakes too, I think we're Gonna need him.. ,,Supe  and Duke  wandered over to Shadow as well.. Tucker was taken aboard  the Last Hope..Shoey   had Will    with Him..Will was   Limping and  Bent Over.

 Az-el was  wandering over.. Jo-Wa layed on the Dec...Jo-Wa..is dead.... was all she said.

 Flores   Gathered near  them as well.. she  had  an Arrow   nocked  ,..what's  Next?

   Shadow  Grinned at Henry  then at the others,.. neighbors next door are making too much  Noise.. i figure we'll pound on the wall a bit...

ANZIO-LAST HOPE

 at  the wall..

 Karson and   Hemsly are giggling like two kids at   Christmas.. Karson  had taken a spare  Power cell for a fighter.. and the  rigged it.. right  where the seepage  was.


 Shadow  COMed Sh-Ba,..Have  Nagy  aim at the Hole?.. if he sees  Orange of Black.. tell him to Open  Up.

 Lirg  hobbled down the ramp to Join    Shadow's  crew..everyone took cover..the prisoners  were hauled up to the  Last Hope.

 .. Hemsly and Larson  pLayed  Rock-paper-grenade ( they have their own games) Karson one  as his  fist opens  up and he made an exploding  noise.. then he  Turned with a Big Grin.. hemsly with a smile and  wide eyes  as they watched...The hanger dec   shook with the explosion ... black-yellow  smoke   rose to the   Vents as a  hole big enough to fly a Hammer through,,opened up...and so did Nagy...

  Bodies of Demons  and Avains  littered the  ced,, other  came running over,and the  AA gun sent  streams of  fire  through the Opening, chewing up  bodies like a weed whacker.

   everyone peered   around thier  cover, until Nagy stopped,,..ReLoading, LC?.. i don;t see any more  Movement.. there is a yellow  Haze.. so they are either all dead... hiding.. or ran away?

 He Drew his  Blaster and    spun the trench knife  in his hand, he  told the asst Med tech,..stay on this  side of the wall... we...may need you yet...    they formed Up on either  side..  Hemsly and Karson fist Bumping  and grinning like  they won't the  Sol system Lottery.

  Shadow said,on all COMs,we breeched the wall..looks..odd.. going in with alot of walking wounded...if i find a fighter in here   I'm Coming out.. if I find Two.. Me  and Flores will be comign out...

 The Haze  was goign up, not   as fast as the Human side.. but alot of it was being draw to the Human vents...

   they entered  weapons ready..  there was a seem in the dec, right where the seepage was... it  lead to a  central Hole.. there were  4 of these  seams.. and they  led  from  a wall of   metal on thier  right and left..and another wall like that on the right  and left in front..,people picked up  powercells    ( and souveniers)  from the  dead Birds and Demons... them made it out to the Middle, the Haze wasn't  all that thick there.. but the Smell was overly bad..

 Mila  whined   as she  snorted  and sneezed a bit..

 Flores pointed to the right and left.. there was one fighter on each side..painted red.. the one on the Left was a Avain  fighter, the one on the right was a Demon fighter...apparently waiting to be launched if needed..the static  field was opened.. but there wan't anyone on the Dec...

 Then Will pointed    in front of them..and said....all..the gods be damned....

 They turned and looked  abehind them as well.. Behind them.. on the  the left side ..were  100's of Gavas.. some looked like they were dead.. some very much alive..some  halfway... on the other side..were Occui..in the same condition ... across the wat to the thier left, were Humans..Mostly women and children.. we  did not fare any better... and to thier right was a Mix... Hyrians...Burians..Sanri and even Mulls


 Shadow Looked at  Henry.....send Vis  of  each and every stack to  ALL COMS.. Beth will know what to do...


 ..Admiral Hack?.. Flores and I are  taking to the Air..I am Leavign Doc  Henry in charge of the detail?.... send.. Med tech transports.. Blow a Damn hole  through an exit...but   you'll see what we have when Doc Henry  sends the Vids..

 Flores  says,..I want the Bird  fighter.. she ran towards the fighter.. weal calls from help  came from all around them...

 In the Middle was  a very large Vat, that was collecting the   waste that flowed , slowly out, of the    stacks of cages.

 mounting Up Shadow said,..I hate to do this?.. but  folks gota be able to tell us  from the other  Aircraft.... Flores  and I will have our surrender lights  On.. Look for us.....

  Shadow      got the feel of the controls,..damn this  cockpit  smells  like a rotting ass....

 Flores  giggles,..mine smells like a chicken coop..

 they Both Launched, as all the troops turned to Henry  for orders.

Roy's brow furrowed in thought.  "Probably wise to go up, at least a little way.  All those EDT troopers came from somewhere, and it wasn't this room.  If all their troops came down here and got shot up, the next section should be pretty lightly manned.  Taking it would give us at least a buffer against a counter-attack, but I don't want to go too far.  Much as I enjoy a good scrap, there's only so much terrain the four of us can hold, even as fast as Larry is.  We need more troops."  He scowled a little.

"Don't get everyone spread out too far," he cautioned, via the comms.  "We've lost a few people in the fighters, we've got at least one dead, and there's not many of us who aren't wounded...we get too thinly spread and a good charge from an enemy group could cut right through us."  He adjusted his comm, connecting to the Hermes again.

"Admiral, any chance we can get reinforcements?  We've captured the ESN hangar, we've got at least two directions we can move, now, but advancing very far in either direction is going to compromise our force."  While he waited for a response, he turned to Larry.  "How's your sniffer, Larry?" he asked, pretty much eye-to-eye with the larg as he sat on the floor.  "Can you sniff up around that hatch and tell me if anyone's waiting on the other side?"  It was a complicated way to make a request, for an animal, but thus far, Larry had instantly understood all the simple requests.  Roy was curious as to just how complex the larg's comprehension was, and this seemed like another good test...

"Traitor!? Sorry pal all the traitors are dead, I'm REAL ESN and Delta to boot!" Harry replied  to the demon pilots with a laugh as she swung her fighter round in a sweeping arc to point in the direction of the Lagran fighter, knowing that she'd struggle to out manoeuvre the Demon fighters in the crate she was currently flying.

Lining up a shot Harry would fire both sets of cannons at the Lagran fighter, using the coroner thrown up by her pulse cannons striking the Lagran shield to adjust the aim of her 37mm. Regardless of whether or not she took the target out she'd throw her fighter into a downward left hand spiral in the hope that it would throw off the aim of the Demons behind her.

Watching as the lizard podded out of it's crippled fighter, Harry would pull the Hammer out of its dive and begin to ascend once again just in time to watch as a third Demon fighter and a brightly coloured Avian Fighter entered the fray to promptly knock out the pair of Demons that had been on her tail "Hey no fair! Why do I get to fly the antique!" Harry complained upon sighting the surrender lights and realising that the pair of newcomers were none other than Shadow and Flores.

Still quietly grumbling over the fact that they were both flying fighters that had been built "this century" Harry would move into formation so as to cover the approaching transports. With the Last Hope pilots refusing to play ball Harry would roll her eyes before delivering a retort of her own "Pull the other one love, If I hadn't shown up in this rust bucket you'd be floating debris by now" Harry sneered over her comms at the Merc pilots "Now do as you're told and we'll show you how REAL pilots do it"

 Then he added,..you are Mercs  right now... but if your  Payday ever  ends up on the  Wrong side of the Delta Fleet, you'll be..'practicing  Pod outs..'

 Frans  Came on the  COMs,..something's  Up   between  our flights  and the  other   scout flights,  the Demons lost half they 'inspection force'...  They retreated  towards Aqra.. no  Cap ships in sight?

 ..Admiral?  Scramble    pilots   to be  ready to mount up..... If  we can't  see  a  Cap ship,..they must either be too far away..or on the otherside of Aqra...doesn't hurt tp be ready though..

 The Hillite  said,..My people  Hate you   Shadow, LC....

 ..good..good..that means  i killed  enough of them to know about  me, but  not too many, so you don't have  any  left..... Now?.. Either get on  each   Flank of me..or  Go hang around the Last Hope..but  don't   fly around where i thing you'er a target...


 a Voice Came over the COMs".. Clearing a  way through Exit 17....  watch for the fire..."...10 seconds  or   so passed when  well below  them in the Blue  area,  one of the Red Exit Lights   Vanished , replaced   with a  blossom  of Fire.... about  20 seconds later   dozens for   Drop  shuttles   Flew through the  Opening, headed  for  the  Top of the  Sphere.. after  wards the    bow of the  Med Vac transports    eased through the shattered Opening...

 LC Shadow to Med Vac transports ... fly to either side of the sphere hanger  Decs... there  will be   weak and  sick slaves for you to pick up..There  are  5  fighters in the air.. we are all friendlies....

  there is a Break in the  COMs  as a demonic Voice  says,..I am  Lt  Remis..of the  A-Sec   fighter  group...  stand down or  we  will fire  on you..

 Shadow laughed,....all transports , continue  on your runs..this  won't  take long..

 ..Harry, take the chick with You... Flores , The  Hillite  with You.. I'll go down the Middle


   he jerked the   aircraft into the  air  6  Demon fighters   had  entered from the Axis tubes...... good luck Remis.... yuou picked a bad  day to be a hero...

 Shadow shot  forward..Assuming the flight leader  was  at the   front..or at very least the One sitting  in the Middle of the 5 aircraft wedge,

Teela's eyes narrowed at the news of Jo-Wa's death and her armoured glove tightened on her rifle but that reaction was eclipsed by the sight of the slaves, prisoners, and what was undoubtedly going to be breeding stock and food for the monster of the Empire.

When Garrat announced his intention to blow the wall and kill every Imperial bastard on board the station she nodded and bumped his shoulder with her fist before backing up and checking her weapon status. She was ready to give some payback for the deaths of her new crewmates as well as the people murdered and sold by the Empire.

"Kill them all," She said in the Angel tongue.

 Two  Lay  shattered  from the   grenades... One  human  was   Dazed  as he was still in the chair  to the middle of the  Room...

 Behind the  Dazed man was a  screen.. frozen with the last pic it caught before it  was Broken.. and Angry Lady V.

...the Tabel had   4 Gavas on the very large serving trays.. three well cooked..One..must have been alive as the cuts still seeped  blood.
 The Human sitting in the chair had  Civi  clothes on, But the  Hooded EDT pit on his lapel..

"You have exactly one chance to live through this.  It may not work, but it's the only chance you'll be given.  Where is Lady V?"  He honestly didn't expect the man to know...but it was intel that was worth trying to bargain for.  If he didn't kniw...well, Roy hadn't planned to take prisoners, anyway.

She reached into her long coat and pulled one of her 18” blades, the light gleaming on its monomolecular edge, blood in her silver eyes and her wings standing high and slightly spread to make her appear larger and more threatening.

"Despite the lie the Demons got you to swallow whole, the Gavas are sentient.  Eating them is more like eating Aborigines, or some tribesman out of the deep Amazon forest.  Not that the Demons care, because they eat us, too.  Maybe we should carve a nice chunk of your thigh off and watch you choke it down..."  He gave a snort.  "I mean, how different is it from eating chicken, right?"

He looked at Teela.  "Dispose of this idiot, before I decide to let him find out if my fist tastes like Gava..."  He turned away, keying his comm.

ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Despite her anger and disgust at the man Teela was a soldier and a warrior, not a sadist. She wanted, craved, in fact, to see him hurt but that way was without honour so she lashed out with her dagger too fast for the eye to see and slashed him across the throat, the mono-molecular edge biting deeply enough to sever his spine and leave his head hanging on by a flap of skin.

So sharp was the blade, so finely crafted that no blood marred its surface but she still, almost ritualistically flicked the weapon down and out before sheathing it, rather like the Samurai of Ancient Japan.

As Shadow seemingly got all misty eyed over his time flying a Hammer IV Harry would bank to the right aiming for the Demon Fighter on the outside edge of the formation "Alright Grampa, when this is all over you and the Hammer can go down memory lane...assuming of course that it doesn't get me killed" Harry teased, wishing that she was flying her prototype instead.

As she closed in on her target Harry would open fire with her pulse cannons hoping at the very least to cause it to break formation with the others so she could move in to get a better shot with her 37mm cannon.

He  opened up  with   the  4 heavy pulse guns on the   Nose.. and   two On each Wing,    He Cork screwed   as  He  Moved In.... The First aircraft   dove  the  Second On Climbed.. they  Both  were   hit  as    the  Spinnign  fighter  sprayed  the  air  with Heavy Pulse... the   Lower     one  went  down, the  Cock pit shattered..... he stopped Firing   as   He did  an Inverted  loops to flatted out  as the one that went  High, was  smoking....from  coolant

 ..Hey?..Remis? Is that you..cause the other   cockpit  just has paste in it..

 ..Yes... it  is   I... are you going to Kill me   now?...

 ..Yes...... Yes  I am.... this is what happens when you  mess  with deep space fighter pilots ..

 he  Opened up  from  30 Yards   away  they Pulled the Nose of the Demon  fighter  Up.. Remis   and his fighter    fell..in pieces.

 Harry watched   as the fighters   came  towards her.. the Flash of    the  exploding   Center aircraft  in the Back round... Liles   broke off  from Harry, perhaps not understanding the  whole 'wing man' thing... she  was Chased     but the outside  A-SEC  craft.

  Harry's    Puale  weapons  Made the  Demon    wiggle  a bit..letting her   sight the Cannon  and  pull the  trigger..  the Nose   Blew  One, the  Cockpit up and a Flaming Body    went   end over end  intot he  Vast   open   area....needless to say.. stay  shots, wrackage and Bodies  were making  some one's  day.. a bad  day as they impacted on the Outer sphere.

Depressing her guns Harry would give a whoop as her target disintegrated, throwing it's pilot out into space to crash against the wall of the inner sphere. It would be as she was searching for another target that she would realise that her "wing man" had broken formation and was being pursued "Gods dammit! What part of Wing Man didn't you understand!" Harry shouted down her comms as she turned to pursue the Demon fighter, throwing the Hammer into a dive so as to build up a little speed.

Trying her best to catch up with the Demon fighter Harry would fire her pulse cannons, more to distract it's pilot than in any real hope of hitting him.

 On the COMs  Flores  asked,..hoe did you  do that..  hitting both of those  fighters...?

 Somehting  i Picked up.. ask me on the recDec.. we don't know where trhe feeds are gpoing from these things.

  The Hillite  asked, we are  not going to help Liles?

 ..not one of us...can catch the Demon...ebsides.. sooner  or  later they have to break.. we can be  there for the rebound... Now its up to  who  gets who first..Harry..or the A-SEC  pilot.

.........

 The demon   fired   as   Liles   had   to  slow to turn or  smack into Level One..  Heavy Puls e  tore Into her  wings, the port  wing sheared....  her  HAmmer  smashed   unter the Level one, the resulting Explosion  sey  dozens  of  people  falling through the  open space..  The A-Sec    Pilot  tried to turn.. but   Harry's  cannon round  took the    Tail fin and  portside   plane away,  and  he  crshed a  100 or so yards  below    Liles Impact..

 ..That's all the  Fighters in the  Air... regroup at the LAst Hope...

 it was  quiet for a space, the Hillite said  , bitterly...you do not even care she  is dead!...

Firing short bursts from her pulse cannons, Harry pursued the Demon fighter trying to take it down as the the three of them flew ever closer to the walls of the two spheres and the certain death they entailed for anyone that crashed into them. Finally however she would have her shot lined up only to find that she was to pull the trigger mere seconds too late as Ensign Liles was shot down, with her fighter crashing into the wall of the sphere, closely followed by that of her killer.

Despite having taken out the enemy fighter Harry would reply to Shadow's command to regroup at the Last Hope in a numb voice "Roger that...returning to Last Hope" as she turned her fighter back round to head for the transport. Quietly wondering to herself whether Ensign Liles would have still been alive if she'd pulled the trigger just a few seconds sooner.

"That'll work," Roy answered.  Flashbangs weren't quite as effective, but numbers seemed to be dwindling.  And, sometime soon, the incoming forces attacking the upper levels of the inner sphere should start drawing a lot more attention than their very few numbers.

"Pick your side," he said, gesturing to the door.  He wasn't sure which hand she'd favor for throwing in the grenade, but he'd leave it to her and take the opposite side.  "I'm guessing, with this being a sliding door, it's not armored, so I wouldn't recommend anyone stand right in front of it.  You too, Larry...over here..." he gestured for the larg to stand beside him.  "Ready when you are," he said, with a nod.

The awkward silence that had descended on the ad-hoc flight of aircraft was broken by the Hillite pilot declaring that he didn't want to be out here with them and that they didn't care that his friend was dead, the statement causing Harry to flinch as if she'd just been stung by an insect. It wasn't her fault, she'd tried to save the mercenary but ultimately it was her actions that had resulted in her death "Did you learn nothing from what just happened!?" Harry angrily snapped down her comms "...you stay in formation or you Die! So you will stay up here with us until your told to stand down, ok?" she snarled as her knuckles turned white against the controls.

Once she had taken a few deep breaths so as to let her anger dissipate she would once again speak over the comms though in a far calmer tone of voice "Apologies LC if I over stepped my mark again" she said realising that it wasn't really her place to be dressing down other pilots regardless of whether they were mercenaries or not.

Roy shook his head.  "The Admiral's recalled us, getting ready for boarding action.  We can leave the clean-up here to the transport base troops...we've got to meet up with Stoly in the hangar and catch a ride back."  He knew that was a bitter pill to swallow, and added, "With a little luck, we'll be sweeping up Lady V's fleet in pretty short order..."

   Shadow  waited  at the top of the ramp  for SH-Ba  to move the  craft back into position

 Flores     looked like she felt  pretty Good..Harry   was enar them.

  The Hillite stood  about  8 yards  behind  them,..If you never  Came here!.. My friends  would still be  alive...

  Shadow didn't  turn , he  just waited for the ramp top  get close enough  so they   could get  to Stoly...if  we have never arrived?.. those  couple  thousand   Prisoners   would be  on their  way to  larderships... Two  untalented fighter pilots  are a damn good trade..I think...

 anyone  who knew the LC, could hear the tang of 'baiting' in his tone.

 .. You think you are better  then anyone else?

  Looking back he shrugged,..NAw..just most folks....especially Hillites...

  ... YOu wear that Unifrom... I am a Merc..so you look down on me!..

  we have Mercs.. the EMS... some have been with us since we cast off....and you know what... they have pilots   that can out  fly the best Merc on the Metal Jelly roll...so..Back off... I'm not in the mood

Upon receiving the recall order Harry would await her turn to land before bringing the Hammer IV into the Hangar Dec, with the blonde pilot wasting little time in getting out of the fighter and joining Shadow and Flores.

As Shadow baited the Hillite, Harry would head towards the shuttle with Flores "so what's got you in such a good mood?" she asked, noting the cat that got the cream look on her face.

With the Hillite continuing to shout at Shadow; accusing him of looking down on him because he was a Merc, Harry would turn and state in a matter of fact voice "If you think you're better than him then sign up and prove it...or shut your mouth" she said before continuing into the shuttle.

 Flores  smiled , she  kept her  Voice low,since  Shadow  stood up for me, and Got me on the Hermes. I was always trying to find a way to fit in?... but hey?.. I don't have the street skills.  Lyri.The  SM.. Shadow.. some of the others  are like  ghosts out there. Even  Beth tilts  the playing field to our side... Now this Bow?... I can do some stuff beside   Pick up pilots   and big assed Lizard dogs.

 then she winked,..and?  I torched  2  more today!...Gonna find  out how Shadow did  that thing with the  two Demons....that could come in handy

 The Ramp was finally  close   enough,   Shadow GAve  Sh-Ba  a 'mannerly' salute,   then moved  down the ramp.

 Supe   was the Last one out of the   prisoner section,what's the score?

 ..Jo-Wa died... got   a few wounded... most should be able  to make Jump off...Duke ehaded back  to help with the aircraft... we're waiting On the SM   and  those with him

 Will  Came Over His tunic  was Opened  and   DermaPlast was on his   right  chest and Shoulder,..so?.. You leave me  for that Sexy Hammer IV... I didn't get to dance  with anyone..  he grinned at HArry.

"Aww I was never allowed to learn anything fun like archery...I was given dance lessons" Harry replied in a voice that more than informed Flores of how much she'd detested those lessons, with the fact that she still couldn't dance making it even worse...or at least not without a blade in her hand "...yeah I could do with learning that trick too, I'm never going to be able to knock him off the top spot when he can do tricks like that!" she said with an exasperated shake of her head. Every time she thought she had an idea of his abilities Shadow go and pull something entirely new out of the bag and blow all of her previous estimations to pieces.

Hearing Will's voice coming from behind her Harry would turn to meet him only to have the smile on her face turn to a look of shocked concern "Nine hells what happened to you!?" she cried, abandoning Flores so as to give Will her full attention "...had I realised you needed looking after I wouldn't have left you" she continued, opening up the front of his tunic so as to get a better look at his wounded chest, a gloved finger gently tracing its way around the Dermaplast as she did so.

  she  smiled  as   her new friend   moved off to check on Will.


  Will smiled, he didn't seem to mind the fuss,..Yeah... there was an Orange suit with a Pulse  pistol took a  shot.. I managed to beat the  shot  to you!... but.. i guess light boarding armor  doesn't help  much, that close to the Weapon?  Its Fine though... won't  keep me off the  next Jump....Which ..is  coming  up shortly, by the crosstalk?  he shrugged....worked out?  You made  it to the  fighter.. i took him and   his buddy down?.. so...

 Flores   chuckled as   Harry  fussed...,..what now?

 Right now..... and the LC  raised his Voice a bit,..Right Now... everyone gets on Board.. the wounded are  already there... as soon as The SM and his group gets  back, we're going home.. get ready for the jump off.

   Az-el stood  By Shadow with her  rifle, the others  began to  climb in

Learning that the shot that hit him had originally been intended for her a look of shock would briefly appear on her face only to be quickly replaced by a scowl as she punched him on the arm "You shouldn't have done that! He could have killed you and then it would have been my fault!"she snapped, her expression quickly softening back to one of concern as she absently continued to trace around the injury "...then who would I get to take me dancing? I already owe you a drink from last time, how am I going to make it up for this?" she asked her voice dropping as she looked up at him.

Hearing both Shadow and Flores speaking behind her, harry would realise what she was doing and jump back into the here and now, jerking her hand away form Will's chest with a blush on her cheeks "Speaking of payback, I still need to get back at you pair for those god awful accents I heard over the cross chatter" she said, trying her best to cover over her embarrassment as she climbed the ramp of the shuttle with the rest of them.

 ..I'm Thinking  he's More  'The Hermes" then Mine... and... he looked off at some  spot on the far Hanger  wall.....I'm pretty sure he won't be wearing an EDT uniform, any Time soon..

 She slowly turned  her  head  and stared  at Shadow,, we studied the  spot on the far  wall,  She  spibvoted  and  strode up the Duce  ramp.

 Flores grins,..you  never get tired of that do you?

 ..I've been  knocking  people down a peg since i was  in grade school...no use  stopping now...

As Will with his boyish charm grinned and invited her meet up with him at the after party Harry could feel the colour rising up her cheeks as she rather coyly returned his smile, her hand unconsciously moving up to brush aside her hair despite the fact that it was still neatly bound beneath her bandanna "Sure...that would be cool" she said before retreating into the shuttle and taking a seat beside Flores, with Garrat's words of wisdom ringing in her ears as she did so.

Taking a moment to compose herself, or at least allowing the redness in her cheeks to subside before speaking to the other pilot in a low voice "I kind of wish my Daddy had more of a hand in my upbringing, I might not have lost my marbles if he had" she said, resuming their conversation where they'd left off "...but Mummy wanted a Disney princess and I couldn't do it, so I rebelled... I shaved my head, I drank, I took pills, I dated scumbags, I even had a girlfriend once, that one really blew her mind...next thing I knew I was hijacking lorry's at gun point...yeah I know messed up huh?" she said with a humourless laugh, unsure as to why she was telling Flores these things but knowing that it felt good to finally get it off her chest. Perhaps it was because she figured that considering her own past that Flores would understand "Sorry...didn't mean to bore you with the whole rich girl gone bad story, I kind of said more than I really needed to there" she said with another humourless laugh as she settled herself down for the ride back to the Hermes and her waiting fighter.

 Flores   Gave  Supe a Cold Looks,  he sorta got  Embarrssed  and  decided  now was a good  time to check the Belts of  ammo he  had left.

 When others  weren't  being Nosey she  said  softly,..alot of the   Lady Pilots opne the Hermes...9 hells..in the fleet,...we're the 'rich girls.'. Most of the Guys were too.. there's a Few.. Like   The LC...Howe..Even HAck?  were the   guttersnipes that some  how  fought their way through red tape, and thin wallets...

 ..MacDugale  was  a haed loss  for  Shadow to take.. he was a year behind us at the Academy in San Diego....Kid  had nothing..no parents..no money... he signed up.. got  sent to   Fighter Pilot school... The LC  and Roles?... got in alot of fights with  rich folks  picking on him.. HAck brought him straight to the Hermes as soon as he walked out the academy Gates.

 then she  waved stuff off,out here?.. don't matter... I wasn't  hear until The EVOLs  killed  LAdy?... but  from what the others  sometimes  talk about..Frans,  Eckles and MAra.. palyed the 'rich bitch' all too well.. they have since  settled down..of course?  they had to...

 ..so?... fast forward to right now?.. we're on a ship...and in a fleet That is  doing   just what we are supposed to be doing..it  all works out in the end...

........

  Will and Shoey were Checking on Zoey and Cora.  Shoey with his gun chewing  grin.. and Will  was  talking   making gestures   of shooting with a rifle.

 Tucker looked  Bummed Out  as he sat next to  Supe,, for  missing alot of the action

 Az-el stood  Inside the Door... Lirg  sat close to her  with  McNeil  in her  chair. McNeil had her  eyes  closed  but was  holding her  Greasegun.

  Karson and Hemsly were going through the goodies  they didn't use   yet, trading   off things  so they both and  some, of whatever they had left.

 Hawkes  and  NAgy  talked  about what  they had done..Nagy  hitting his leg, winced once.. but , more or less showing he  could  hit the dec again.

 a black bag was in the front of the  shuttle, more or less ignored...not because  they did not like the Angel, but because they all knew, that could have been  them.

 ..LC?... Is there Going to be boarding Action?

  Larry Thumped  His  tail   as he looked over, then slurped  up some water.

 Turning his head to look  down the  compartment at  Everyone, he chuckled,..Looks  like  Larry, Likes boarding missions?

 The Beastie looked at Roy  and thumped his tail again, then laid  down his   eyes  sweeping over  the people  he could see , without having to get up.

 Hemsly  Looked Over the  Larg as it lay  a  few yards  down from him, ..saw those thin's attack us at that base on Nivar, they called The  Alamo..never  thought    we'd be see the wee Beastie  fightin' fer us..

Garrat come out of his reveree "I'd like to check on the armor for both of them.  Mila wont be able to carry much but if I can keep incidentals like shrapnel, creture bites, and air and environmental concerns from harming her we have a chance of keeping her much safer in these environments.  Larry can carry more in the way of weapons protection, and the way he charges enemies he needs it."

   Garrat looks at Larry, "He is extremely empathic as it is, it will be interesting to see what happens if one of his species would do with a Mila type implant.  Dr, Christy, does the implant technology rely on the translator chip technology?  I seem to remember reading somewhere the chip actually works with your head a little bit.

Roy shrugged at Hemsly's comment.  "Look at how many allies we have that we initially thought would never be fighting for us...we figured we'd either get a promise to stay out of the fighting or have to bomb the Felrites back to their own Stone Age."  He chuckled and added, "Certainly didn't expect them to assign a detachment to the Hermes.  Hell, we thought the Delta Ape Folk were only ever going to be good for keeping penal colonists from over-populating.  Never expected the Hyrians to throw in with us, either."

He gave Larry a grin, and added, "Frankly, I'm more surprised that we inherited him from an EDT operative than anything else about him."

He looked thoughtful at Garrat's suggestion of armor.  "That will be a tricky one.  Larry's best defense is his speed...bulk him up with armor and you could slow him down enough to make him an easier target.  It'd be tricky to come up with an effective armor that doesn't slow him down.  But something that let him last in zero atmosphere could help a lot in some operations."  He grinned viciiysly, and added, "Imagine the chaos if we sent a boarding force in, then managed to get Larry in somewhere behind the main counter-attack..."

   The  Tunnel us  a lot lower  here, Maybe  20 feet from  roof to floor, but  there are many 'living quarters' here  and a lot of   aircars  and  such parked    by them in  either  direction.

   The  APF LT leads  them through a Door  into a  Quonset  Hut , type  Building. there  are Tables in the  Middle   and  10 doors  on  either  side.. Vid   screens  are up  as  some people watch, or  sit at tables  to eat.   there are rows  of   Bags   stacked  just inside the Doors

 ...My Name  Is LT Hiroasha.  I am the leader of this  particular band, of  ...unoffical ...offical SEC packs. we   do the  work  in the shadows, that the regular SEC  cannot..... we have your MArks  and briefing  ready... as soon as you  change into your  'work Clothes'....There  are   rooms  you can use on either side...if you are shy.... if a door is closed, it emans  someone is  sleeping ion it..or...such.

   Shadow   found his  bag  and  Shade's  slightly smaller back and they went off to a corner, to allow  the LAdies the  use  of   the 'open  rooms'


  A Voice  called out,..WTF!..They have a Dog... a LArg  and a damn little Robot... I thought these Guys  are Pros!

 Shadow  was folding his   shirt  and layed  his   dress  uniform , neatly in the bag,..COM that  dumbass... and tell him to make sure i don't know who he is....

“That Larg is a better fighter than most of you, the dog, Mila, is smarter, and the ‘damn Little robot’ is the Verian Ambassador so mind your tongue before I pull it out and show it you.” Teela snarled as she pulled out her gear bag and began laying out her armour and other items. She reached beneath her wings and pulled out two pistols and her paired 18” monomolecular knives.

  as  More  folks  pulled in ( up?) , they entered  , found thier  BAgs. Even Beth had a Black Enviro suit, and without her  heels  se seems a good  3 inches shorter


 she  had  two Black  'Combat' Vidboards  that she checked  for power  then rolled them  un, sheathing them in tubes on her left hip.  her   right hip held a  9 MM, she had  a Blade strapped to each  calf.

   Shadow   went to the Coffee  machine and  Fixed Himself a  cup,..Everyone?.. as so  as you are dressed  and  Your Kit  squared away.. grab a drink  and gather  round the table...

 And?... You think you are In command of this Op?

 Shadow Nodded,..Yes...yes  I am.. I'm Delta  Fleet.. you... are not.   we wil set up the marks, give out the details  and  tell us how you will aid us...

 ..This  is Our station.. we suffered under the  empire  scum for years.. this is our op!

 ..Last time we were hear, we freed some  1000 prisoners..who lived... we  elimanted  the  brass of the  traitors...and  we  freed the  Gava... now?.. tell me what you have done..'all these years"...

 she looked at him sternly...

 yeah..that's  what i thought... so?.. how  many  Vampics are on the list?

 ..Vampics are not on the list?

 ..They are now..... where do they hang out...

 she slammed her hand  down on the table,..we have  real marks...that will hurt the Empire and the SSN..and you are worried  about VAmpics....

 He sips from his  cup,..I'm gonna kill  Vampics..... I'm gonna kill whichever  MArk  fall into my lap... but you can damn well bet  i'm killing Vampics

 ..then you are a fool?  Have you ever  fought one before?

 ..two?  about a HAlf hour  ago.. they are Both dead...

 He holds up the weapon's  Belt,  and slide the sliver blade into his belt loop , normally used  for a flashlight.

  Hiroasha looked at him skepticly..

Teela was in her black armour, pistols riding low in tactical holsters, her daggers in their scabbards, grenades on the belt across her chest and her pulse rifle cradled in her arm. She was angry and radiated menace from her black eyes to her mantled wings.

If Larry was still with her that only added to the sense of danger she gave off. She picked up a water and went to stand behind the LC, making it quite clear she was there to back him up if anyone decided to do or say something stupid.

 as an extra  trick, he made a streak down Beth's Nose, they  streaked his  own face...There.. we're Invisible...

 ..no..you are not.. i can see you...

She gave Shade a thumbs up.

Roy finished buttoning up some plain black, weathered BDUs over his envirosuit.  "Look...it's not our first time doing this.  Unless you've got a few decades of covert ops experience, there's not much advice you can give us that will improve our chances.  So can we skip over the editorial commentary and get on with the targets?  You're wasting good time complaining about a group that's killed enough people, between us, to outnumber the OLD population of Anzio.  If you were that much better than us, we wouldn't have been needed in the first place, so let's wrap up the pissing contest and get down to business."  He paused for a moment, then added, "And, yes, he took on two Vampics, solo, and finished the fight in about ten seconds.  The Ambassador took out a third.  If your sources didn't already know that, then you need better intel."

  Hiroasha  Picked up a   back pack and  Tossed  folders that had  faces on then.

 ..Right .... Collin Smythe... Human EDT  Moneyman... alot of Creds  goe through his office, most of it  finds its ways  to EDT coffers...the  rest...his..He has   offices in the  APF  HQ....they know what..and who he is...but if they would  act against him, the   economy  would stop for a good Month or so... The  Mull... He  tried  reasoning with the fellow...and got laughed out of his offcie.
.

Bren.... Merc  Hitman.. seems to be undercontract with the EDT... Sniper..Demo.. arranges  accidents....He has a  nice place on Axis  South ..


Kilet..Sanri Female..in charge of Foodtransport and slaves....she has   the Docks  on  Equator  east

Andre LaQual..Human..came here  from Everest,...he was  the one who suggested   we hire the Vampic....The Vampic..quite frankly..are efared at this end of The Black...Needless to say he has alot of Creds.. but his  Mansion  on  Axis  west...is send to containe interesting things.

North Axis  Docks..... 2 transports..T-54 and T-55.. are  flagged  as   Earth vessels... we aren't quite sure  what they are carrying, but they are waiting  for the fleet to leave, before they do.... the   transports are painted in SSN  colors.

..and LAst... Gladra. Nivarian  female.... Info broker.... has a place  on Equator South... Bren supplies her  with Mercs.

Lastly?.. Dr  Festes .. Doc Henry  and  The dog must deal with him.. he has  a Nice  place on equator  east.

 Shadow nodded....and ..Kill any Vampics  you see, run into.. wave at...

 ..no..we are not cleared for   killing  Vampics!

 Shadow chuckled,seems  Me, LArry, Shade are?.. and  maybe Nikki?..So Yeah..Open season on Vampic.. no  creel limit.. no legal  size....

 She Put  Her Face   an Inch  away from Shadow's she  all but  Spit the words  at him,..who is running this  Op!

 Shadow  rose a bit from his bent position  as he looked over the pictures. He  wiped  his face off, with a  bit of comic  digust..which embarrassed   the LT and mad her even  more angry.

 ..This is Delta  Night on Anzio... so?.. you'er  done.. your  job was to give us  targets  and BAck up..... there are two reasons  for this... One?...if any ops go  south, Its on the Delta Fleet..not you locals...and 2?.. were  a damn sight  better then You....Here is  how it will be... the teams out in the field will  contact me or   the SM.... if  they have it  real bad and out drivers  can't  pull us out..then you send  someone...

 She crossed her arms,..If   i refuse to send  any one of us?

 ..Then pray to what ever god you  pray to.. that we all die...because  we'll come back for you.

 He   waved to the table...Right then?... Pick who you want.. I'll take what's left.

Roy snorted softly at the defiant gesture.  "He's not lying.  If you leave ANYONE swinging in the breeze, you better sign on with the EDT and get off-station as fast as you can.  You may not have made this mess, but you certainly let it get out of hand, if there's this many targets after everyone we purged last time.  We're here to clean up...and if you prove to be as dirty as this lot..." and he gestured at the assorted pile of dossiers on the table.

"Well, then we'll clean you up, too.  We clear on that?  Because time's wasting, and we should be busy making your station a better place to live instead of listening to you bitch and moan."

He looked at the pile, considering which target sounded best suited for his approach.  "Smythe looks like an apple ripe for the picking.  Unless his office is staffed with turncoats, getting in should be relatively simple for someone in high station on the flagship of the APF...and I think, if she's willing, Beth could do some wonderful things with direct access to his computers and accounts."  He looked up from the file at Beth.

"How about it, Lieutenant?  Care to be my backup on this one?"

  The  notes contained  awards from Anzio and Aqra for  'merging tech' both Bio..or tech level. To either  increase chances of   'mating'..or to  turn creatures into food or weapons.

.........


   Beth  Looked at Roy,..you guys point  me where you want me to go...

.......

 Shadow looked at Nikki,..everything here  could be a trap..... or?.. everything here  could be  bad info , that causes it to turn into a trap. Doc  Henry has a better  reason for he and Mila  to  be there, then anyone here.... he's been down this road before.

  turning to roy he hands him the Vampic weapons belt that had the  silver Hilted side arm and a dagger ( also a pouch with some folding creds  and things...here.. add to your  collection... i thing the bullets  are silver?

"Actually, after hearing about the bio-tech lab on Etna, I'm wondering if Larry might not be good insurance for Dr. Christie.  There are things out there that can fend off an angry larg, I'm sure...but not many, and any I can think of would be too large to have smuggled onto a station without drawing a lot of attention."  He glanced at Henry, then down at Larry.  "Your call, of course, Doc...but knowing that the EDT has specific orders to abduct you and Mila, I'd be a lot happier if you had some backup, and I don't think anyone here could be any more effective than Larry for the job."

He looked over at Teela.  "We're looking at a bit of a toss-up here...I wouldn't mind the backup...but it's one less person we can send after targets that are harder to get to."  He gestured at a few of the other folders on the table.

"The ones that regularly deal with mercs are likely to have their own corps of bodyguards to get past.  I'm guessing the guy that provided an inside connection for the vampics is also well connected.  So we might be better off sending more people after them and going in lighter on the guy who's hiding in the APF offices, where we could probably just order guards to stand down and walk in...assuming they're loyal APF personnel.  Hell, some of them might even want to help out, if they know the guy's an EDT operative."

After a rather circuitous route through the station the pair of them would eventually find the safe house and be allowed entrance by the pair of sentries posted by the local Light's Out group. Entering the main area carrying her high heels she'd smile at Shadow and the other assembled Delta Night operatives "It's ok we're here now, let's get this party underway!" she cheerfully announced before turning to look at the line of doors that went along the side of the building "so...which room is ours?" she asked, nodding her head in the direction of the doors. It wasn't that she was embarrassed about undressing in front of the others rather that she figured that they wouldn't want to watch should sight of Will undressing cause her to become...distracted.

Once she'd been pointed in the direction of a room they could use Harry would collect the pair of cases that were hers and carry them inside, quietly speaking to Will as they waled through the door "come on soldier boy, let's see how quickly you can get me out of this dress"

  Looking aroudn the Table, as he sips  from a second  Cup of Coffee Flores   fixed him,..Regardless of   what our  friends  from  APF SEC and  the leftovers  of AN SEC say...its open season on Vampics….not just because of the Ball. They are  'independent'..which means  they can..and will... switch sides  depending on how much Creds  are  on one  side of the table..or?  how the BAttle is going.... Anzio screwed  up..never should have signed them, unless they  Joined the APF...and?  they are a  third  set of  pieces on a board that is already too  crowded ..They are  Tougher , stronger  and heavier, then they appear.. and they don't bleed  much..IF… you get a chance to capture  and restrain a Live one... Toss him or her in your VAn so Doc Christie can see why  they don't bleed.. but..can  Bleed out  , like the  Guy who  LArry tore off his  arm..or, the  fellow  Nikki stab the  9 hells out of.....

Unsurprisingly there had been a little fun and games as they'd been changing in the tiny bedroom and consequently Harry was still giggling as she emerged, clad her street fighting gear complete with black lipstick and eye shadow, and her short blonde hair partially hidden by a bandanna.

Taking a seat at the table she would listen as the teams and assignments were organised with Harry quickly grabbing Kilet's file so she knew what she was facing. Unlike Shadow she'd sooner not go toe to toe with a Sanri so figured that unless she managed to get the drop on her and was able to use her garrote she had hidden upon her person that it would be a shootout. At the mention of Gladra being an information broker and not currently assigned a kill team Harry would raise her hand to catch the LC's eye before speaking "Seeing as Gladra is an information broker would we not be better served by having her working for us? Nothing here says she's Imperial or EDT so with the right leverage she could prove quite useful to us"  Harry suggested. It was surprising how loyal someone would become when the lives of their family were at stake.

Nikki listened gathering what she needed and who would be going with her.  She found the flash grenades and a couple of frags, zip ties, and a set of LIGs she pocketed just in case.  She also found some body armor, not the best, but it worked.  She picked up two other knives as well.  In her brain she went over how to safely remove the cred slip before the dead switch tripped off.  Then she saw the .44 bulldog.  She pulled it up "Nice hold out" She picked it up as well and extra ammo and found atleast 2 speedloaders for it.  she set about placing things as she needed them too be.  "I take it I won't be driving then?" she gave a light smirk.

"true...but sometimes not knowing can be just as dangerous if not worse" Harry replied in an equally soft voice. Learning that Grit was fooling around behind her back and was an EDT agent had hurt, but in the long run learning the truth about him had been better than having it bite her in the ass further on down the line.

Turning her attention back to Kilet's file she'd continue to scan through the information it contained "OK, so she's got a place down on the east docks is there anything I should know before we head on down there?" she asked knowing that now was the time to find out whether or not she had an army of mercs at her disposal or lived in a veritable fortress that would require a hacker and/or a demolitions expert to get inside "...also how keen are the local SEC? Are they in on our party or am I going to have to dodge them as well as Kilets security?" she asked whilst continuing to search through the file for any pertinent information.

Upon reaching the van they would be using for the mission, Harry would climb into the front passenger seat and strap in before asking Will to head for the East Docks where their target would hopefully be located and completely unaware that they were coming for her...or at least that was the plan anyway.

Before their team landed Teela gathered around and brought up the schematics on the transport they were hitting. "This is my suggestion for taking this ship. We have two primary targets - the cockpit and engine room. We go in hard and fast and secure them and the ship is ours. Anyone not us wearing a uniform is an enemy and gets put down. Mann, Karsen take the high ground and rappel down at the same time I snipe the guards at the main airlock. Take them by surprise."

She looks around at them to gauge their responses. "Mann, Karsen, and I make for the bridge, Minnet, and Brooks the engine room. If we can get the CO alive great, everyone is an enemy combatant and we accept no surrender. Once the ship is under control we see what they're transporting. Shock and awe, we make our attack as bloody and vicious as Hermes crew can so on Delta Night. They will not expect this since we've already had Delta Night so us coming back for another? They won't expect this. Liberal use of flash grenades to keep them off balance. What do you think?"

Nikki was instructed to her vehicle to use.  "Do we have an ID on LaQual?" wondering if there was a vid of him or something she could see what he looked like.

"Either of you two have or need any specific equipment before we leave?" she said to Tucker and Supe.

After getting what was needed they headed out taking up position near the target to prepare to attack.  "Looks like this yutz does not want to be disturbed.  Well...we've all had days like that" She looked for signs of obvious and unobvious cameras and security systems.  "Either of you have a pair of binoculars?" she asked.  Odd placement for the trucks.  Import/export? She wanted to make note of any patrols or strangeness.  She wondered then assumed he was here on Hermes last visit with a delta night.  He'd have to know they would come.  Okay, assume trap.  She would wait a moment for the binoculars.

Dropping down into the main stream of traffic Harry would look down upon the walled mansion as they drove past, noting that there were currently several well armed Sanri patrolling the grounds "Ah Folkes you know as well I that that Hot dog stand would be surrounded by Demon Commandos" Harry quietly responded as they drove on by "Will baby, be a dear and circle the block, I want to see if there's a back way in or a blind spot we can exploit...I don't fancy tangling with that lot if we don't have to" she asked, figuring that if they tried to shoot their way in that either Kilet would escape in the confusion or they'd wind up dead. Meaning that they either needed to sneak in the back way or try and bluff their way inside.

It was as they circled the mansion, with Harry keeping an eye out for that back entrance or blind spot she wanted, that she'd then ask the next question on her mind "so what are you boys carrying? Personally I've only got blades and small arms" she asked knowing that depending on what her team mates were carrying would ultimately determine her final plan of attack.

 there are sounds  of   weapons being readied..

 as they reach the top... they don't see anyone   near the  Bridge... the bridge  has its blast doors opened..lights  are  on inside... the  van settles  in  ,, about  50 feet  above the   windows...

Mann Points.....there's the  access  hatch...

 Brooks   spins the  VAn around  to face the stern,..the  engines  are outside the staic  field..if there are any guards there, they'd have to have suits on..

"Just one big happy Anzio family that already had a Delta Night so no need to think trouble just settled above their hull. Quick gear check and then we get the bridge." Teela said, slipping the visor down on her helmet and taking her pulse rifle off safe.

She could feel the adrenaline settling down and with it the calm that comes as she's about to launch into the Black or begin a ground op.

2) any patrols seen
3) any obvious immediate threats
4) since tuck damn near hit the apartment mansion area how far is it

Roy left his rifle on the floor, out of sight.  He pulled the Verian pistol, verifying it was ready, and held it concealed by his left hand.  "Cover the one coming from the right...I've got the other two."  He opened the door and stepped from the car, moving briskly to intercept the two some distance from the car.

"At ease, troopers.  I'm here on APF business.  Stand down, unless you're ready to help."  He stood casually, balancedon the balls of his feet and ready to move.  The pistol rested in his left hand, concealed from sight...his right hand was empty, but hung at his side, to avoid drawing attention by contrasting with the left.  He was ready, however, to go into attack instantly.  There were two reasons they would be here...part of the local contingent, or they worked for Smythe and used the identity of ANSEC to avoid attention.

Henry stroked Mila gently, reassuring her but telling her it was right to be concerned.

"OK, stall the vehicle part-way through the gate and make like you cannot restart it. That way they cannot trap us inside the wall. We'll go in and deal with the problem. Shoot if you have to defend yourself or your position. Come on Larry and Mila, let's do this."

Feeling far less positive than he sounded (which of course Mila will know!), Henry jumped out taking his shotgun with Larry and Mila following.

"OK, you two. Mila, stay alert. Larry, attack when I tell you to, OK?"

Travelling a short distance down the narrow, rubbish strewn alley, Harry would be able to discern that it would indeed carry on around to the docks and not suddenly stop, she also noticed the rats "Nine hells the rats are bigger than I am!" she quietly exclaimed down her comms to Will and Folkes "you boys had better come and join me, pulse weapons won't make anywhere near as much noise as my hard ammo rounds will" she continued, holding her machine pistol ready just in case the rats decided that she was a better meal than the trash they were currently eating.

ANZIO-LAST HOPE

"Delta Actual - we're on T-54 and have found app. 200, say again, 2-0-0 Vampics in the cargo bays which are filled with cages containing men, women, and children. The Vampics are armed and uniformed. We appear to have found the method by which they are obtaining breeding and possibly food. If the Director of the Vampics is with you we were looking to loop him into our negotiations with the Vampics if you give the go-ahead, Angel-1 over."

Teela sat back and waited, watching the images. "Here is where things get interesting. Mann, get control of the airlocks but exclude the ones in the cargo bays please. Send control to the command chair once you have it."

ANZIO-LAST HOPE

She pointed to the doors, the closest one.  She had Tucker keep an eye on the known guards, Supe on look out for others.  She looked at how it opened and to see if there was security on it or a window.  Inward, outward, or slide left or right.  Knowing the she just simply set a quick trap.  Frag grenade with the pin pulled, but lever not flipped against the door.  Carefully placing it so if the door opened the lever would flip and detonate.  She set it up with how the door would move that who ever entered or exited would get blown, door would offer little protection.  Outside the darkness would more than likely hide it.  And lets face it, people rarely look up or down as they walk, least likely to be noticed.  She was extra careful doing this, last thing she wanted was to blow herself up and two comrades because of being careless.  They would back away cautiously.  They would go in the farther door.

   Once they are  about  10  feet above the Ground,  Shadow and  Shade  drop.. hit the  ground  rolling, though Shade looked more like a  droped  tin can...and they    hugged the walled  , headed...to the alley


Justin maneuvered the aircar between the buildings Shadow indicated bringing it to level 5' above the ground and slowing to allow Shade and Shadow to alight. Making his way over to the to a spot 300 yards from the transformer. Justin accesses the aircars control transferring it to gis hand held. Climbing out of it, he remotly steered the vehicle directly into the Transformer. The combination of power cells from the aircar and Transformers electrical discharge may have been a fascinating spectacle but he was headed back to join the others so missed the opportunity to witness it. Quickly reaching Shade and Shadow he gave them a thumbs up.

  from the  west.. the sound s of   fire control was getting louder.

 when  he reached  the  Alley.. Shadow  and Shade  waited... Shade  Gave him a thumbs up.

 ..Much better  in the  dark... I love to work in the dark.... Next time, this bastard  won't be so cheap... and have his  own power  unit..oh?.. wait.. there won't be a Next time!


   Shadow got to the door,  his  thin-gloved   hands   touched the handle.. he  could feel the heat,..well... he  tied  electric  into his defenses.. he pretty much crewed now... get your weapons ready....

  ..if things  go bad... You get out.. and head to the nearest dinner, or   eatery  and  ask for Burian Pie... Understood?....

 Shade  Held out his  hands  helplessly...

 ..oh?.. right.. well.. Just  COM   Roy...Beth  and   The Admiral and let you COMs  opens.. and  head  to the the Equator  West, that's  where the HQ.. someone should  find you and pick you up...

 then he sent the COM....Admiral.. heading in..to  hit what needs to be hit...

 He looked at Justin  and Grinned,..we have the best  job.... then he grasped the   heated  handle  and  opened the  door..smoke  filled the hall.. sparks   popped  down the way.. shouts inside the Building could be heard..

 Kill anyone  not us... looks for creds.. and file or file  disks.. and if YOu  find  an armory.. get your self   some big guns.. and  then boobty trap the room.... when we leave here.. we need   the MArk down.... creds  for the Fleet..and  Info  to  net more bad  guys...

  As them Moved   they came to steps..there  was a Hall awy breaking to the west.. and the  steps  leading up....you take  the  Hall way.. we'll take the steps.... if you don;'t  find anything..back track and follow.. keep your COMs to me open.. I'll do the same for you..

"Damn. We could shut down the shields and lock open the pressure doors but that wouldn't have the effect I'm looking for. Is this ship armed and, if so, do any of the weapons point in the direction departing passengers would leave dockside to go back into the station?" She asked, thinking quickly of a new plan. "If so target the dock and feed me firing control if they do. Signal when I have it."

"Director, this is Angel-1, leader of the Hermes forces that have taken control of the transport you have some 200 of your men and women aboard as well as a number of men, women, and children I can only assume are going to be used for food and breeding stock. I'm going to give you one chance to order them off this ship. Failure to do so will be met with very dire reprisal and, if there's one thing you should know, is that Delta Fleet does not bluff. Your one chance begins...now. Tie us in to the 1MC."

Well ain't that just great, a new breed of giant space rats! Harry's mind silently exclaimed as she bent down to pick up a tin can that was laying by her feet "Well I didn't bring a silencer with me, meaning that unless we want to wake up the entire neighbourhood it's pulse weapons from here on out" she said before hurling the can at the rat standing atop of the bin. With any luck they'd prove as timid as regular rats and scatter, if not Will and Folkes would just have to shoot them. Either way the rats needed to be gone as she wasn't about to try pushing past them.

Teela made sure the 1MC and her comms to the Admiral were linked before she spoke. "Attention Transport T-54. This is Ensign An-Teela of the ESN Hermes. We have secured control of this vessel and have heavily armed squads of Marines inbound at this very moment. To the Vampic troops in the cargo hold you have one chance to exit this vessel with your lives. You will exit the cargo hold without hesitation and disembark. I am giving you this offer with the full knowledge of your Director and the Admiral of Delta Fleet. To the crew of Transport T-54. Once the Vampics have left you will be given the same opportunity. Any harm done to the prisoners in the cargo hold will be met with immediate and deadly reprisal. This is not open to debate or discussion. If you value your lives, leave. Now."

She cut the overhead. "That is the only warning your people get," she said to the Vampic Head. "If I don't see them leaving I will pass the order on for the Marines to move in and this ship will run red with the blood of your people. Angel-1, out."

She looked at Mann. "Do I have fire control of the AA guns, Mann?"

Quickly, quietly, and carefully Nikki and the two moved to the side of the other door.  Again making sure there were no security or patrols.  Again she checked the door.  Almost silently, barely above a whisper she had them ready weapons as she worked to open the door.  With the tool kit she popped the security pad plate and with a quick and quiet 'tzzt' tap of the right wires (being a mechanical tech, busting such was easy peasy work), she got the door to open.  Knowing the trap she set could go either way she was careful to make sure they would not find the same trap waiting for them.  She was quickly in a half kneeled position so Tucker and Supe could fire over her.  Anyone not Hermes was gonna be free game now.

Well, she thought to herself,  split the difference and straight up the middle.  Her guess he was up one of the towers, but the doors straight across seemed inviting.  Quickly she tried to gauge which door was the one she trapped on the outside.  She motioned to Tuck and Supe not to open it.  Again careful to look for security sweeps and cameras and such she made her way to the far end door.  Motioning Tuck and Supe to cover her.  Again she popped open the lock to freeze them shut with her tool kit.  When it would come to it they could open it later.  Right now she was going to take things one step at a time.  She then did the same to the other far end door.  Leaving just the other two doors.  She picked one on the opposite wall from when they came in.  She picked the one to the left side of those two.  Motioning the others to get ready as she moved to open the door.  once ready she again crouched so they could have field of fire into the room.  With a nod of her head she opened it, she'd hip shoot the rifle if needed the first few shots.  Careful not to fire and give away position if there was nobody.

"Angel-1 to Delta actual - did you copy. The Vampic killed 20, five of them children. No Vampics remain alive. We are securing the rest of the ship and killing anyone we come across. T-54 will be fully secure in moments. Angel-1 out.

Good job, Marines. Move out and secure the rest of the transport. We're heading for the engine room. No prisoners save the ship's CO. Angel-1 out.

Some was  in English that said  "  Olympus"..or 'Earth"   others   were an odd  script...

Moving quickly and quietly She motioned the two to follow her.  She looked around the area for cameras and security of course.  She then quietly moved to one of the crates using her com to send pics of the labels on the crates.  The one that was making noise and shaking she approached.  She had a thought as to what she would find, but she needed to confirm it.  Looking at the crate she figured the quickest way to pop it open.  The corner using her screwdriver.  Having tuck keep guard and Supe to aim at who or what might be in the crate, she quickly popped the lid and opened it.

"Yes, we come help" she said quietly.  Atleast she thought no humans yet.  "You help fight eater people" she made as a statement.  She opened a commlink as instructed if prisoners found.  "Diamond to Delta-1.  Captives found.  Gavan so far" She sent vid over the comm for verification "Believe transport via private dock ring".  If Gava want to help she broke the crate top and atleast gave them the slats to whack the crap out of the enemy.  In a low voice she said to Tuck and Supe "I'm inclined to let the prisoners stay here for now.  Safer here instead of becoming targets and shot or hurt.  Either of you disagree?"

Roy paused, still out of sight of the unknown speaker.  He waited for a response, hoping everyone present spoke up.  It was a no-brainer that the person speaking wasn't alone...there was no reason to say that out loud.  Unless the speaker was crazy, which wasn't very likely.

When he heard other voices, he continued, slowly and silently, his eyes and the muzzle of the Verian pistol pointed at the landing as he approached it, in case whoever was up there decided to look down the stairs before he got a chance to figure out how many guards were there and where they were.

With the apparent assurance that the voice was, in fact, solo...and a visual confirmation that the guard was walking the other direction...Roy continued quietly up the stairs, moving as quickly as he could without making noise.  He gave himself a moment to visually sweep the landing and verify the guard was alone before firing a single shot, aiming at the center of the chest.  Hearing the man had been on Zolth not only spared him any qualms about 'collateral damage' of a potential non-combatant, it gave him an uncommon sense of satisfaction when shooting...a feeling if wrapping up a loose end, as it were...

Roy scowled as he saw the man right at the edge of the Verian pistol's effective range.  Hearing Beth, he turned to see her gesture...then looked and saw what she was indicating.  He nodded, then pointed to himself, and gestured to show he'd take the walking man, then pointed at Beth and Maria and indicated they should get the man at the desk.  Quietly, he holstered the machine pistol, shifting the Verian pistol to his left hand, and pulled his Kabar with his right hand.  It was a shorter, lighter blade than the kukri...but if he got close enough to use it, it would be a better choice for the work he had in mind.  Giving the other two a nod, he moved silently after the walking guard, pistol ready to fire if the man turned around and saw him...

Surveying the East equator docks and the activity going on Harry would send a comms message back to whoever was monitoring the Delta Night comms "This is Ensign Lynch, there are four transports currently being loaded with cargo from the back of the targets property, would recommend immediate interdiction should they try to leave" she stated before rattling off the tail numbers of the transports in question. Knowing what Killet did for a living there was a fair chance that those crates held either slaves or people who wished they would be slaves meaning that if the transports were prevented from leaving the quadrant then even if she failed to take her target down she'd have done some good.

Although she didn't have the best of views of the gates she could see that there were more than a few Sanri guards standing in front of it "At least six guards by the gates...we could do with drawing a few of them away before we make our move" she quietly spoke, mulling over an idea before continuing "...maybe we could try and lure a couple down here for a quiet take down before moving on the rest?" she suggested. The alley was narrow enough to make using their pulse rifles difficult and if they got the drop on them it could be all over before they even knew what was happening.

A pair of   fancy wooden doors   stands in the Middle of the landing. two guards  stand on either side  of the  doors. He sees two other   guards   Moving towards  , what Must be Shadow  and Shade.

  The other  guards  watch.. there   doesn't seem to be anyone else  about.

At the mention of the door in the alley, Harry would give Will a confused look before glancing back to see that there was indeed a door that she'd overlooked during the confusion, her eyes having understandably been drawn by the pack of giant rats "huh...that would work" she said before heading back down the alley, feeling just a little embarrassed by the situation.

Despite what Folkes said Harry had to agree with what Will said about finding their target inside, not to mention the goodies they'd be able to lay their hands on...though she had to admit Captain Lightning memorabilia wasn't exactly what she'd had in mind "hmm time and a place baby" she said with a fond smile as she made ready to open the door.

It was just as she was in the process of turning the handle that she'd receive Shadow's message that they'd lost comms with the Admiral, which was rather worrying to say the least. However with Shadow instructing them to stay on mission she'd ping him back to say she understood "looks like we're on our own boys" she quietly spoke before easing open the door and peering inside.

The door slowly opened to reveal a small room full of bin bags and empty boxes no doubt waiting to be collecting come the morning. With the sound pans and Sanri voices coming from behind the steel door in front of them, with the aroma of cooking food it would appear that they had found the kitchens and were about to ruin some poor chef's day. Though considering their boss sold people as food there was a fair chance that he'd cooked more than his fair share of Gava in here and so deserved what was coming to them.

Placing her finger upon her lips to signal the others to be quiet, she would slowly ease the door open and look inside. Her fingers curling around the grip of her machine pistol as she held it ready to fire should the need arise, though this early on in the mission she'd sooner keep things nice and quiet and use a knife or garrote for the required wet work.

Training kept Roy moving as chaos erupted a few stories below them.  He'd closed to a range where the pistol would work...so he pulled the trigger, the guard's last sight being the muzzle flash of the weapon aimed at his head.  He turned, expecting Maria or Beth to take care of the other guard, but ready to back them up if the man made a break for it.  Even as he turned, he moved to  lock the exit from the lighted office.

She gave a slight smile at the mercs in the room.  Atleast there was a few feet between them and Tuck and Supe did have some coverage in the hall of the stairwell.
"I have no problem taking out a merc or two.  3 to 2, odds in our favor." Her voice was calm to the point of being scary.   By now she ran 3 different ways to possibly evade their rifles. Her pulse rifle was at her hip.  No points for accuracy, but still she can put up a fight.  From her crouched position she went prone flat fast.  If they were aiming for a 'kill' shot they would have aimed at her head where it was.  If they took even a moment to readjust, Tuck and Supe had an easy pick off.  As well at that point she could move or roll out of the way or fire back as well.  Someone was gonna be hurting...She just hoped it was them and not Hermes crew.

From what little of the chatter she could understand from the pair of Sanri it would appear that there was to be a party tonight and one that they weren't ready for judging by the grumbling tone.

Drawing one of the 9mm pistols from it's holster Harry would casually stride across the kitchen and wrap one arm about the woman's throat whilst using the other to hold the gun against her temple "ok this is a robbery, do as I say and nobody dies" she stated in a firm voice. Should the woman currently within her grasp struggle, scream or try anything equally stupid Harry would deliver a sharp crack to the side of her head with the butt of her pistol, With her meanwhile trusting Will and Folkes to simply shoot the Sanri should they try anything "Right, one of you open the door to the walk in freezer and then both of you get inside" she instructed, hoping that they get the message that doing as she said was their only hope of surviving this night.

"No...we make sure thier attack on the 4 guards succeeds.  We'll just give the guards a.....shot in the arm. then let the Gava beat on them while we go up"
She looked at the Gava.  "there are 4 out side.  beat on them.  then go to the dock and find the Hermes.  They help you" she had them follow the allowed them to whoop and holler, and bludgeon to thier little hearts content.  Of coursr for the guards, it was difficult as Nikki began firing bullets into thier arms.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

     the  Gava   roared  around the corner..waving   boards like  a frankenstien horror  movie  mob.

  Tucker  fired  high at the  Guards,, two   ducked  ,he hit  one in the shoulder.. Supe let loose   a  stream of  rounds  above the Guards   heads  that   chewed  some of the gate bits off, making them duck further..

 then the  horde  was On them   as  they were   swarmed  Under  Boards  flailing  away, some boards  hitting  each other, but they didn't seem to care..

 ..yeah..they're  dead.. now ..into the tower?

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

After gently lowering the woman onto the kitchen floor Harry would turn an incredulous look on the pair of men currently discussing her outfit for the ball after stating that the reason no one ever took her threats seriously was because she was too cute "guys I'm standing right here!...and what do you mean my heels were too high?" she said in an exasperated voice, before turning a dangerous look upon Will that said whatever his excuse was that he'd better make it good.

Muttering something about men just beneath her breath she would crouch down beside the unconscious woman  and quickly bind her wrists and ankles using the strings cut from her apron before then stuffing the rest of the fabric into her mouth as a gag. After all the last thing they wanted was for her to start screaming her head off as soon as she came to.

With the woman bound and gagged Harry would take a quick glance at the cake she'd been decorating before then heading for the door. Once again she would slowly ease it open and take a look at what lay on the other side.

 another  heated  cart  had Mounds of   mash potatoes.. with  three  differant   tuns of gravey on the side.. Pies  were  on  a side counter...

 A Hot lookign moman in a 'commander Class'  dress  came in with a Vid board.. two Sanri dressed in dark  red tunics listened to her as  she spouted off the foods  and how they should be served...the  dor they entered seemed to be the only other  way in. toher then the door to the cooking , kitchen

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Upon hearing his reasons for why her heels had been too high she'd give Will a look that said that she wasn't entirely convinced by his answer but lacked the evidence to say otherwise. Besides which she was still smarting from the observation that she was too cute to be considered dangerous.

Looking through into a kind of lobby area containing more food than she'd ever seen in one place, Harry would watch as a well dressed woman with a vid board and what she assumed to be a pair of Sanri waiters entered. With the only other door directly behind them they would no choice but to deal with them, though judging by the dress she was wearing the woman may be worth interrogating "Two Sanri and a woman, take the Sanri out, I want the woman alive if possible" she quietly instructed the pair of troopers before counting down from three with her fingers and opening the door. Stepping into the room she'd point the machine pistol at the woman's head before speaking to her with a glare "yes I know I'm cute, but I will kill you if you don't get on your knees right now!" she said making it clear that if the woman did anything but comply with her demands she would pull the trigger.

  Teh  Guards   screaming  were  done  rather  quickly...  the gava   scampered    down the path   into the    Axis    Tubes...  running along the  ground  as air cars   Passed over them.

 For good or Ill.. they were  trying to find ..HERMES..   sometimes the whole mob stopped  and one of the leaders asked,..you know Hermes.. we  want Hermes...

  then they would take off  screaming and hollaring  again.. now and then, more GAva  joined them, Comign out of   holes in the  tubes , or  Vents..  The Numbers were growing.. some had  weapons, like Baldes or  sidearms..

 Aqra..and LArgran who happened to be in the way Died,  and the  horde   Just  kept  running  and growing..

"Well, I'll take the flak.  It was my decision"  On their secured comm she called it into the Hermes.  "Diamond Delta to Deltas...There are a mass of Gavans loose making thier way to find Hermes...Help them out and herd them that way" They continued up making sure not to fall for any traps.  The would stop at the door they would come across.  They would do a different tactic.  She pulled out a flash-bang grenade and handed it to Supe.  With a few hand gestures she conveyed that Tuck would be on the opposite side of the door.  She would open the door.  From behind her Supe would toss the grenade in to go off.  Assuming that the room would be similar to the other Supe would aim for the middle of the room.  Then they would advance.

As the frag came down she did the duck and cover.  The frag went off.  Covered in the bits of debris she continued up the broken stairs.  This ass hole was not going to get away in an airvan.  This ass hole was not going to get away, period.  She'd chase him to hell and back.  "Get a shot, take out his ride." she said to both men.  Just a bit ahead of them she got to the other door first.  She shot him in the right knee, then tackled him.  Tuck and Supe finished off the airvans.  Only direction it was going was down.  "Drop your weapons"

"Main junction...should be there in a couple of minutes...unless you're more worried about getting there fast than not being noticed."  He wasn't sure what the top speed of the air-van was...but they were, generally, faster than wheeled ground vehicles, and he wasn't even beginning to strain the engine at their current speed.

  the other two  were Tech.. one  was  running  tests, on what looked like.. a Monkey-thing.. it was straped   down  and  an arm or leg   would jerk  as the Tech touched  a Vidpad.

 the other  was looking at a Deam  Tank.. a LArgan .. and an Avian, the three  were in  tubes.. and   had  a bandage on the sides Of thier  heads..  the Tech would press   somethin on a Vid  pad  an  they would raise  and arm, or lift a leg.

 Festus looked over at the Door,oh.. do come In Dr Christie.. i wish you wouldn't have killed my people.. they have been  with me  for a few months now... Though..

In reply to Garrat (msg # 479):

   Garrat thought a bit. "Okay, we sweep the bridge rip remote charges out of sight then clean up.  No need to blow it if we don't have to, but the instant someone tries to move this ship I want a charge that cripples her to go off."

   Garrat looks at the hallway. "We go through killing anyone ho comes into the hallway, then as you guys rig the charges we come back and clear the hall.  Warning, if you haven't noticed yet my plans tend to change real fast when shit hits the fan."

   Garrat proceeds with the plan,

   At Henry's   words.. the   LArh   pushed  forwards smashing into the counter  Festus  stood  behind...

 the  Nivarian   was  bleeding  ..yellow  liquid  was  all over the Floor .. He pointed at the Larg  and  Pressed  and pressed  and press , Until LArry's  jaws  clamped    bow, searing  off the Arm   it  fell  with the device.


  The  Tech near the  Tubes  turned her   Vidpad  towards him  while the Other  shot him with a Pulse Pistol.. the Pulse round slammed into His  Back.. enraging the beastie  a bit  more  . as he  pounced on the tech with the PAd.  Biting her  in Half..


  The   other  tech  fired  pulse round  after  pusle round Into  Larry.... He  shuddered  with each Impact..  and  Turned his  head towards  the shooter..

   Garrat drew both his machined pistols and fired straight into the Vampic and strides quickly forward knocking the captain out with a right hook Garrat is trusting the rest to eliminate the other three.  His heavy armor giving him relative protection, and his agression to draw their fire.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Still reeling from being called Dowdy by the well dressed woman it would take several moments before she realised that she was making a break for it as Will and Folkes took out the pair of Sanri. Lowering the aim of her machine pistol, Harry would fire a scything burst at the woman's legs so as to stop her head long flight. Granted Harry still wanted her alive, but on the other hand she didn't need legs to answer her questions.

The woman fell as the backs of her legs were cut to shreds by the fusillade of hard ammo rounds, leaving her at the mercy of Harry who was currently stalking towards her "no it is not a good thing!" she snapped over her shoulder as she dropped to one knee beside the woman. Grabbing a fistful of her hair she'd yank her head back so that Harry could look her in the eye "Killet, where is she? And don't you even think of lying because I can make it hurt far more than it currently does" she snarled, not wanting to have to search the entire property unless she really had to.

I've hooked this com into the ship computer so you can find out what you can from linked systems.  We will proceed to rig the controls to explode if used and look for hard copies before our final sweep of the ship.  I will also leave Hemsly on the bridge to keep an eye on things.  He is wounded but I trust him more wounded than most in full health.  Are ther any other orders that I need to follow?"

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

As the door was kicked open by a pair of heavily armed Sanri Harry release her grip on the woman's hair as she passed out from the pain. It would appear that Killet was to ascend...whatever that meant and the Vampic Royals were to congratulate her at the party or something to that effect, it had been hard to concentrate what with all the gunfire.

As one of the Sanri guards fell atop of the other; pinning him in place, Harry would smile sweetly from her position by the door as she raised her machine pistol and pointed it at the trapped Sanri's head and squeezed the trigger before then shooting his wounded friend in the head as well. She was no expert on Sanri anatomy but in her experience a couple of bullets to the head was usually sufficient to kill most things.

Assuming of course that this had the desired effect she would then lean around the door frame to see what happening in the next room.

Flipping the doorlock he continuing processing the casualties and room for intel. When the target tosses a card on the desk and provides details of its function. Justin glanced at the card then Shadow. Justins impulse was to use the targets body as a shield but shrugged it off. Taking the card he crossed to the over to the picture of a cat which swivelled like a cupboard door to reveal a wall safe. Using the card as suggested Justin opened the safe.

 Shadow  Took out   Silver  dagger, Like all Vampic  daggers.. it  was   rouned to a shape Point, with   the  Crossguard   having   Pints that  faced outwards.

  Ben smiled,  and Nodded his  head,..Bring everything that's there..now?.. had you try to break in, Gas  would  have  sprayed you.. you wouldn't have   known thought 'cause its  from a Largran  serpent.. they get fat  and massive as they grow older.. so thier   poiuson kill  things.. and they can take their  time   and  slither over to  swallow it whole.. Nasty things.. but they taste good  Breaded, with sauce  and  paramasian

 Shadow  shows him the Dagger   as  Justin Collect the goodies,..what do you know about  these?

 he   took a  deep draw on the smoke stick..   raised his  nose a bit  as he looked at the blade,...Vampic   Honor  Dagger.. the Royal Guard   have them.. almost pure silver... The  Good warriors   can slam that  8 inch blade into you hard  enough for the  two pints  on the   cross guard to  stab you as well..they  they  twist it on the way out to tear the   skin and  flesh.. but the main point  slides out like  Butter... who did you buy that from?

 ..I killed a couple  and..

 Shade  Bleeped.

 ok?.... i  Killed one,    But he killed his Buddy trying to kill me...so?.. i sorta killed two.. I took this one the one  i put down myself.

 ..not a  small thing..... Vampic  have taken on, 5 ..6 people..before they die.. some times, they even live..

so?..why are they on Anzio?

 EDT..bastards.... they came  here.. horning in  on my turf... they got the Vampic  to  ask teh Director if  they needed help to patrol the area... The  APF   eager took the  olive  branch, not knowing the EDT   held the other End

 ..been trying to balance  my work load.. Kill EDT  bastards  here.. fulfill contracts there... I had to sign up these germans , because my own people ran to   Etna, because  you folks killed a bunch.

  so?.. why would   our  Contacts want you dead...  i mean.. don't get me wrong,, if your contracts   are killing  business folks and such... I don't  see the reason to cap someone who's  killing bad  guys  too?

  Bren watched  Justin walk over  with a velvet tray of   gemstones   4 Cred  disc cases  and a  Velvet  bag of  creds...because?.. I'm good at it.. and the people i hired?.. almost as good... so alot of EDT were gettign to fly home , out injection tubes... sure?.. I killed a few  'normal' folks..but if you have to hire me to kill someone.. that someone isn't a nice guy..

  Bren   waved his had  over the   tray,..Angel Tears... only  found on the paradise  home world... you could  by your  Cruiser  with one of them.. there are 100 here.. all perfect...I got one for  each Hit, from an Angel Elite who contracted  me..most of them were EVOLs...but some high rankers on Olympus  and  Everest, so the 'right people could get in.

 He opens the  4 Cred Disc Cases.. all 4.. have  4 Black Discs.. Shadow whistled.....this aint nothing  kid,  I got all this, and more on Fuji... he waves his   had  and the Velvet  bag...that's   Cred chips.. 50 cred .. there  are 100 in there.

 Shadow slips the Dagger  back into  the belt loop. Ok..... what  would you say... I  take part of this... to take back to the fleet.. and I let you live, if you work for us?

 Bren looks  surprised,what  would i do  for you?

Same thing  Me   , and my buddies here are doing tonight.. Killing  bad guys....

 ..arn't a  a Bad Guy?

 well..yeah?  That's why  we have ded folks all over the palce, to get to you?  Do You Know Elge?

  the dumbassed  Russian?.. yeah... he was smiling...

  Call him.. after  we leave... Tell him, You're are asset here.. it will help him and the fleet out...

 .. and ..if i don't?

 ..then you'll see us  again.

 well?  sure?... having the fleet behind me.. could  make a big difference  in dropping   EDT bastards..

 ..you really hate them?   something personal?

 ..I had a Wife  and Kid  once......The  EDT  ended up with my Wife....  My kid ended up on  the flag ship of  a  demon Crusier...they  forgot to finish me off though..

 Shadow take the  bag of Creds and Tosses it to  Justin..take a few for yourse;f,  we'll trune the rest in..  he pushed the tray of  gems  and One of the  4 Cred Disc cases to Bren..you keep those  for start up.. I'll had these in to the  Fleet as  a 'buy in'...

 He takes the  small container of Derafoam from his belt, places  it  next to Bren,while you take to Elge.. foam up your  legs.. and get ready to be busy..

 then he looks at the Bodies,who  were they...

 ..EDT.. they came here  to make  me an offer I couldn't   refuse..... But then, they  Met your  little friend...

 we'll leave them to you... and call Elge as soon as we leave..ok..and.. tell your people we're cool?..    you'er gonna need them.

 bren laughed, he  Hit the   House system PA,Attention.. there  are  two  Guys  and a short guy laving here.. let them... don't be stupid...
 throwign up his hands  after he was  done, ge grabbed the derma foam and began to  send a Vid Call to Elge.

  As they walked out.. the  guy   SHadow whacked was  just getting up...Shade waved at him and bleeped to Shadow.yeah?.. we killed some folks..  that's the way it goes sometimes...But... with him working for us here.. that frees up other guys like me.. to  go else where and  kill guys.

 Well, Justin... what do you thing..good times?....
  they walked  down teh stairs.. a few of the germans  galred  at them... the  lights   weren't on yet, but the fire  control guys were done outside.

Checking his vitals "He's dead.  Lets get the creds and anything else important off him, then you can toast him.  I really hope he had a lot to live for" She did what was asked of her and took the credits.  Not like a dead man can use them. Once trans was made and secured she turned to the briefcase and picked it up. "Lets go in and see what we got.  I think I saw a table there." Gesturing to Supe and Tucker...But if Tucker wanted to riddle him with bullets that was okay with her.
Inside she did find a table, barely standing since a grenade and firefight did happen just a few minutes ago. "Supe...want to see if there are creds on those two as well.  They might have been highly paid for thier stupidity.plus I think one is just unconcious."

Then search the lab for any information or items worth taking.

Have another look at the explosives - is it clear how to set them off WITHOUT blowing ourselves up (i.e. use a timer)? Make mental note to ask for demo training...

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Henry collects device (and makes sure it's off), pads, credits and box of discs. He checks on Mila and Larry, to ensure they are both all right.

Then he goes to read the instructions on the packets of explosives. Assuming they are at the level of 'this side towards enemy' clarity, he'll set them up, give the 2 animals and himself 15 minutes to get out... and leaves the building forthwith.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

With the siren screaming and the thumping of many running feet coming from above her Harry tried to think "Folkes, go back to the kitchen and lock and barricade that door, rejoin us when you're finished" she instructed as she quickly searched the pair of dead Sanri's weapons belts and relieved them of their credits "...Will and I meanwhile will head for the dining room and see if we can get to our mark, failing that I'm going to turn the gas on and blow this place to hell" she continued, grabbing one of the large Sanri combat knives she'd seen earlier and tucking it into her boot.

Once she'd finished her hasty search and robbery of the bodies she'd turn on her comms in the hope that someone was out their and listening to her "This is Harry, we're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place here...um...not sure if anyone is out there but I could use a few more guns down here" she said as she headed down the hall towards the dining room where hopefully her mark would be sat waiting for her.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Hearing the distraught voice of a woman directing what Harry presumed to be security personnel towards the kitchens Harry would quickly signal the others to get down as she quickly moved to crouch within the shadows by the doorway so she could see who went past without being seen herself. Depending on how many of them there were they may be able to bushwack them from behind when they went running into the kitchen, failing that they could always attempt to sneak out behind them and head in the opposite direction.

A quick glance over her shoulder would reveal a Call In message on the trio of screens within the dining room, however as curious as she was as to who was on the other end the noise would attract far too much attention and so with one hand gripping onto the handle of the long Sanri blade and the other her machine pistol Harry would silently wait to see who would come to investigate the kitchen.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Sitting within the shadows Harry would watch as three Sanri, one of whom appearing to be an NCO of some sort, moved past the door to investigate the kitchen before returning to report to  what was either a pale skinned human or a Vampic. Depressing the transmit button on her comms unit so that Shadow and the others could hear what was being said and act accordingly, Harry would remove the silvery length of mono-molecular wire from it's hiding place in preparation to strike. The NCO would make a suitable target seeing as his back was already to her, his armour providing no defence against such a weapon...but it was the Vampic she wanted, better to take out one high value target than none at all as it would seem that their mark would soon be in the wind.

But for now she would simply sit, and listen, and await the perfect moment for her to strike from out of the darkness. yes...this would be fun.

As the Vid call was cancelled and the security detail left the room, Harry would breath a sigh of relief as she tucked the garrote away, looking over at Will with a feral grin as he asked the obvious question "easy...we now shoot them in the back whilst they're not expecting it" she replied in a low voice as she got back on her feet "I don't suppose any of you boys brought a grenade with you?" she quietly asked before beginning to silently slip around the corner in pursuit of the Vampic and his security detail. If they could take them out then at the very least this mission wouldn't be a total bust...at most it would be one less obstacle between them and their target.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Softly swearing beneath her breath Harry would watch as the NCO sent an entire fire team of  mercenary’s upstairs whilst having another escort the still wide eyed server out of the building. There was no completing the mission now, not with all that lot between them and their mark ”let’s get out of here” she said with a defeated look on her face.

Falling back to the kitchen she’d get Will and Folkes to carry the cake decorator out into the alley and back to their van if she was still present, if not she’d simply tell them to wait for her, with it clear that she was far from happy. She wasn’t sure whether it was a final desperate measure to try and take out her mark or simply spite that led her to turn on the gas rings of the stove so as to flood the kitchen with gas with A fistful of cutlery thrown into the microwave acting as a crude timer/detonator.

And so it was as she was running down the alley to get as far away from the inevitable explosion that she would make her report to Shadow ”This is Limey, we’re pulling out, targets security detail is moving her...if she survives the bang we’ll try something else”

"We'll get you patched up soon, Larry. You were magnificent. You too, Mila. You were wonderful."

He hugged the dog, filling her mind with reassurance. His own head was pounding, all he wanted to do was lie down and sleep. Yet a corner of his mind was analysing what had happened. It seemed that sheer rage had overcome the pain and paralysis caused by Festes' device, enabling him to shoot. Something to ponder about, later...

She gave a deep growl at being thwarted.  "Shit.  I hope there is something useful here.  Hate going back with just the mans soiled skivvies" She pulled the case off the table. "I didn't see any safes or places he could hide anything.  Believe we've search everything but those vans outside.  Personally I think that is what they hauled the Gava in.  Don't think we missed any rooms" She tried thinking fast to run through on if they missed anything, half asking Supe and Tucker incase they had an idea or two.  "Let's head to the ride and see if we can help Harry, I'll call this in and we'll bring it with us"

As the fancy house was rocked by a large explosion before then catching fire, a look of satisfaction would appear on the pilots face as she admired her handiwork ” I was only trying to blow the hob up! I mean how was I to know they had gas central heating!?” She exclaimed though the glint in her eyes said she was more than happy with the results.

With both Shadow and Nikki on their way to assist, Harry would sit within the relative comfort of the van and watch the growing blaze as she mulled over the idea of a Delta Night song. It was as she was doing this that she would witness the trio of black aircars exiting the premises ”Alright boys and girls, just seen three black aircars leaving the building, one is heading for the docks the other two are going for the tubes, theres a good chance our mark is in one of them...we’ll hit the one heading for the docks while you guys track the other two” Harry reported down her comms to the others, signalling for Will to start following their aircar to the docks whilst rattling off the licence plates for the other two. It would appear that the hunt was still on.

Roy's answer came after a few moments of thought.  "Drain 'em all...siphon the funds through one of the EDT acvounts, so if anyone starts sniffing, it looks like the EDT stole it."  He grinned unpleasantly.  "Let's rattle their support system a little bit..."

He could just imagine some of the corporate types who thought supporting EDT would land them a cushy position, and their reaction when they discovered all those credits had vanished into an EDT account.  Even if an argument was made that someone else had drained the account, it would still be a really hard test of loyalty to get those people to trust EDT with money again...

Justin clambers into the aircar, and starts tapping away on his hand held. He connects with the feed coming from the Surveillance cameras, and starts tracing the black vehicles. His fingers sweeping across the screen as he switches from host to host, network to network then zooms into a specific image. There you are you elusive little crawler he declares verifying the numberplate. Sending its co-ordinates, speed and heading of NLO to any Delta in the area.

As the other teams began the unenviable task of tracking down the pair of black aircars that had entered the tubes, Harry carry out the relatively simple job of following their aircar to the docks. Sitting within the passenger seat she would quickly check the magazine for her Machine pistol ”Roger that Yank, our target is still in sight, we’ll intercept once they’ve landed” Harry replied, hoping that they would find either Killet or the Vampic within their car.

In amongst the confusion of running dock workers and fire crews they would watch as the aircar came to a stop in front of a sloop that was obviously preparing for a hasty departure. From out of the car a trio of Sanri guards along with a pair of humanoids, that Harry assumed to be Vampics, would get out and start making their way towards the gang plank ” This is Limey, target is not within our car, repeat target is not within our car” Harry commed the others before turning to a Will ”See if you can intercept them before they can board baby, I want to see if I can take some of them out with a drive by” Harry said with a sadistic grin as she wound down her window.

 Shade  Bleeps,.shade  has    3.. and a  fresh on in his weapon..

 Patting his Belt,  all three of us have Sidearms.. and there is this Pulse rifle.

 Supe  and Tucker   got out to stand  with them, My Heavy Pulse is  about  3/4's  full on power.. I have another Power Cell.. That she  get me through, win or lose...

 Tucker   shrugs, as he slams a new  clip into his  carbine,..That's a Fresh Mag.. I have  2  more 8 rounds... and my pulse  sidearm

 Shadow takes the Pulse  rifle from the  roof of  his car,Tossing it to Tucker..Take this  then...

  Lyri's  Van  Pulls Up.. They all get out.

  Lyri sees what  they are  Doing,..all I have is a Pulse  rifle..it shoudl  work long enough until i get a weapon from onbe of them , that doesn't need one anymore.

 Minnet   Hefts her   Heavy Pulse,..I have  two more  powercells, and whatever  is left in the cambered one..I have  a 45 hard ammo sidearm.

 Ellan is   smiling, she  flicks her  Blonde  hair   as she looks at Shadow,..I have a Greasegun, all the  boys seem to like....and a Puls e side arm

 With a Jerk of  her head towards   Ellen, Lyri says,..she use  Equator  East SEC  HQ to  try and track the Cars... couldn't get a real good view, except  for the  one  heading to the docks..but then she found the COM traffic  between  the CArs  and    that 'base'... she  also checked  back and  found COM traffic  going out  fromm there  to al the Targets.

 ..that would  explain the Visit to Bren, by  2 pairs  of EDT handlers.

 All right.... Lyri and   Nikki.. knock out your  windshields  and have  the Heavy  pulse  mounted on the  Dash.... Nikki, you'll fly past , high and fast.. as soon as  you get past it,  drop down and  Spin around.... Captain?.. you bring  your  Van  down slow  with no lights  to cover this  side...

He tucked away the little Verian pistol and pulled out one of the machine pistols.  "Maria, let's see what we can do about setting up some kind of watch position until Beth's done...make sure nobody sneaks in on us."  The windows would give them a view if anyone came in the same way they had...they could set obstacles or a barricade at the stairs, definitely should set barricade in front of the lift doors...limit approaches or make them impossible to use without making plenty of noise.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

”One pass is all I’ll need baby” Harry boasted with a grin as she chambered a round into her machine pistol. As the van went soaring passed the group of people heading for the sloop Harry would brace herself against the door frame and fire upon them with full auto; emptying the entire magazine at her targets.

As the van turned away she’d look behind her so as to see how much damage she’d caused with her drive by.

  At first, they didn't even seem to Notice  the Van,  Until it  corrected it  course to fly over the car  to get near to the  Ramp.

  One of the Longshore  Poitned up at the slit  tilt of the Van.. about the same   Time the Muzzle flash lit  up the semi-dark of the 'night'.

 One of the trailing  Sanri grabbed   his legs  and Back  as he  stumbled  forward.. The Humanoid  Turned    as   Rounds  tore into its  Legs  and belly ..

 The topr most   Sanri was firing   both of its  Pulse  rifles  at the  Van  stiching  two lines of  Pulse round   afew of them got through the box,  But Fowlkes  didn't seem to be hit bay any.

 Will steered  as   close to the  top of the static  field that he dared..  to  make the ranger  harder for the    NCO  while  his  2nd   troper   fired from the Bottom of the   ramp.. the  wounded Sanri was tring to get up... the   Humaniod , didn't move.

Nikki flew as instructed.  Any lower she'd clip thier head off.  Hard and fast, letting the nose down just enough to pop the enemy.  After her pass, she did an old school mid air Tokyo drift style 180. then dropped low.

  Shadow Nodded, Al;right folks... Mount up  and Lets Go... as soon as   you  see any action.. Open Up....

  Minney set her  weapon up on  the VAn Karl was goign to drive..

  Lyri and  Ellen in the BAck...so?.. we are Just going to shoot everyone  up....

 Lyri Nodded  as   Karl  got the VAn Moving,..so damn frustrating.. Just once.. I would  like the bad  guys to  take the warning..  then she laughed...

 ..no i don't.. every one  we drop, can't hurt anymore  of our people..or help anymore of the bad guys..

 Shadow     Drove  the   Fancy  car,. Right through a Guard  who held Up her hand..  He  Pivoted the car   around  ..it was  still Idling  as it  Got Out...oops..My bad!..sorry.. didn't see you  there...well..I mean I did..t hat ANSEC  Jacket and all....but..I didn't care.

 people ran out of the  Building   As   Nikki's  Van headed towards  the   parkign Lot.. there were a dozen or so  People Lookign up.. some swearing at Shadow.. some  raising thier   weapons..

 Shade  Got out of  the car.. standing Next to  Shadow by the driver's  side... Justin on the passenger side.

 Lt Hiroasha  stormed out...YOU  ANIMAL!..IS SHE HURT...!

 ..god  damn right she's hurt.. i hit her   with the front of an Aid car moving at  40 KPH..so? if she's  not dead.. she will be...

 ..Have you lost your  Mind.. Just because your    'delta Night'  went South...


 Shadow racked the SMG, and reached inside the CAr  as he looked at her,...now?... You see? None of us called you... how did you know  we had  some Minor problems?

 ..Minor.. what?....

 The  Air   car  flew  forward  as    Shadow   punched the thruster  button..  people scattered.. and he and Shade Opened Fire  on the Bunched  group on his side of the Car...


 Shade  Let out  a loud Metal sound, like that of Metal tower  falling over   as he   sprayed and prayed  with the SMG..

  The Car  slammed into the Main Doors   staring a   fire  around the  car  and the front of the Building

 from Justin's  side  Niki  came Up with Supe  firing  at  the    troops he  saw  with weapons... Tucker  waited  at the BAck door  for the  Cue  to  jump out.

 ASs   KArl Moved  forward.. Minnet   fired  at those  people   deeper in the shadows  that  Shadow couldn't see...

 Teh sight of the short Verian  shaking along  with the recoil of the SMG would be Comical  if not   for the Bodies  Jerking  from  rounds impacting them.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Twisting within her seat so as to get a decent view of the gang plank she would note with some satisfaction that she’d managed to take down two of them with her barrage hard ammo rounds including one of the humanoids she’d seen. As tempting as it was go get Will make another pass so that she could try and take out the rest of them she would instead signal for him to continue to the rendezvous with Shadow and the others. The van had taken enough hits when they’d ambushed them, with them ready and waiting for them it would be suicide.

Ejecting the empty magazine and loading a fresh one as they rejoined traffic, Harry would smile as she cheerfully called ”Are you alright back there Folkes? Only I think we have another party to attend” she said, unsure as to what exactly was going on but that something was happening and that they may be needed there.

When the shot went through her arm Nikki became instant bitch queen.  She let out a string of expletives others never knew were possible.  She managed to land the van with one arm and a very pissed of look on her face.  She managed to avoid getting shot again by ducking.  Using that as cover she pulled the briefcase out with her now good arm.  If they were gonna blow the ride, fine..but not the briefcase.  Managing to kick the door open she slithered out with the case.  By now she was not swearing, but in her mind she was counting down.  She realized she had to get to safety and stop the bleeding before passing out.  She started at 15 seconds, running with the case for safety.  Asshole would pick off her favored arm.

    Garrat coms the bridge "Shut down the lift and close the causeway so the only way to this platform is up the ramp.  I want Ma-Ti protected.  I'm going down."  Garrat throws a smoke flare down the boarding ramp to obscure things and make people pause before trying that access point.

    "Sec, do I have permission to ID us as ESN?  I get the feeling some of these guards are tied to the dock and not the ship.  They might be inocents in relationship to the activities on this ship."

   If he doesn't get a satisfactory response, Garrat then starts sidling down the ramp so he can see he approach on the hold.  When he can he fires two asgard rounds into their midst then goes back to making people die in horrible ways with his snipper rifle.

With no back door through which to enter Harry would instead move to join up with Karl and Lyri, firing quick bursts of fire at the windows as she went to cover their approach ”So...what’s the plan then? I take it we’ve got something in mind other than fire until our ammo runs out?” Harry asked with a smile as she crouched down beside Lyri, knowing that she was down to her last magazine for her machine pistol. To make matters worse she suspected that they would have enough ammunition in there to keep them going for days and perhaps even some toys to make their life...interesting.

   When Hack   told them , they were  Hooked Up again, Shadow   said, well.. Sir, we  came to Visti our  underground friends.... we're having some disagreement  on which side should die? We have them trapped in the BAse, Unless  they have  an escape  tunnel or  something.... But.. we're  sorta   short on Ammo and such... could use  another team comign in?..maybe bring  some Ammo.. grenades?....an M3-Stuart?

 There is a chuckle, I'll see if  i can get a team together , send you some  goodies from the QM. I'll leave the COM  open if you need it.

 Shadow    looked at the  smoke  from the  Cars,..everyone.. when you are  ready... Move up..  there are a few bodies lying around,  take  weapons  and ammo of them... Stay low.. the smoke is low.. if you stand up.. they'll see you...

 He Looked at Shade  and   Justin and pointed to the   white car that they slammed into the   front of the building....Two Bodies there... when we get there, take  every thing  we can use......one  three.....ready?.. THREE!

 Breaking from  cover   crouched   , Shade    stumbling after him.. a few  Rounds  went over thier Heads But they  made it to the truck of the  car  Shade  Grabbed   one   Body , dragging it like a toy  he unslung the  pusle rifle  from the  body and  GAve it to Shadow... and took the weapons  belt with the dagger  side arm and   extra  two power  Cells.


  Shadow waited to see  if   Justiin could grab the other Body..  saving his  SMG  rounds  , he   leveled the pulse  Gun lookign  through the smoke.. and  fired   4   bursts as a Figure  who screamed in surprise and Fell. He grinned,well.. it  took 4 rounds..but...''..


……...


 Lyri  shrugs...if they have an escape tunnel.. they'll be gone.. if they don't... they are just waiting to die...They can try to  breakout.. but that wouldn't do them any good.

 She pOinted to thier  Van,Our VAn's nose is sticking  through the  windows,, we could enter through the back.. and use it like a pill box...

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

  Shadow  Chuckled at the Admiral's  COM  and Teela's  reply.

   As they  waited    Shadow  listend  for COM chatter  from their COMs... they were other  using another Line.. or hand signals... but the COMs  were Open.

   Ellen would grin at Shadow  from   down the  side of the Building,  Shadow   just Pointed  to his eyes , then her.. then the insdie of the Building.

 Will Looked at Harry,..so? You can never say i don't take you to interesting places....

…………………………………………

  Tucker Looks at   Nikki...  Admiral  said   Karson is coming .. he's the Demo  guy..let him open it...

  Supe says softly from his   cover,..or throw the  damn thing in and shot it..blow them up..instead of us?

………………………………………..

 Shadow  talked to the bad  Guys again,..Ok  Hiroasha... Tell  me  why you and   ...you're  soon to be dead friends did it?... 9 hells you're  APF.. Creds?... power?   I promise of a Night with a Sanri stud?

 ..you don't understand..  The fleet will leave, then we'll be on our own...

 That's EDT  crap...  there  are going to  be APF  ships here.. we're even leavign a Prize  or two    from the SSN... Aqra is now a full fledged   APF  world.. and   has   Ship defense  and    defenses on its  moons...The EDT  wants to help thier masters.. but  weakening this  new  foothold   of the   Good guys...

 ..good guys?...You? she laughed.

 ..no no.. no  Miss H... I never said  I ws a good   guy..the ESN/APF  our the gooed guys.. we don't eat our  own people, or sell them into slavery , or breeding pits.  But me?.. I'm as bad  as they come, I'm just on the good guy's side

 Headlights were comign from the west.
…………………………………………….


  Teela  can see the    store front of the Building they used  for  the Pre-game.. three    vehicles  were    smashed into the front. She Could  see   Shadow , Justin and shade  behind a White  care  near the Middle.. she could see Ellen kneeling   next to the   van. to the  left of it... and to the right, by  another Van,, she saw  ..tucker?.. but could see much else.

     Shadow  Grinned at the   SMG  and   asked    Justin if he  wanted the   german made SMG.

  what have you got  for your  weapon.

 ..I have   HE  and  Frag.. a bandoleer of  each... if i run out?.. we're  most likely dead...


  Each Group would get  4 graneades  from the Crage...  Shadow gave one  to Shade,  Kept One..and Gave  two to Justin...


  ..Ok ..here's what we're  gonna do..when everyone is ready..let me  know... Roilfe  will alternate  Frag and HE... 4 rounds each..  Supe and Minnets.. open up  .. we'll  charge into the Middle to make  some   Noise after that... Rolfe  will lay down  fire  towards the BAck, and Upper   balcony..supe?.. Minnet... don't stay  By the VAns  too  long... as far as the  Grenades   Teela brought.. use them wisely...

Roy nodded.  "Well, no sense leaving them here for someone to just wander in and grab.  But first..."  He got snapshots of the account numbers the discs were sorted under.

"Later, we can have someone reference these account numbers and see if they find names attached to them.  I'm guessing these are clients who didn't leave particularly large sums in the accounts we're cleaning out, if they left anything.  Also pretty sure they REALLY don't want us to know who they are."

He glanced down at the bodies, and a grim look settled on his face.  "We should take the corpses...or his, at least.  The whole 'EDT ran off with my money' ruse will be more believable if he's just...gone.  Looks like he used all the funds to buy himself a disappearance..."  He nodded, and added, "EDT will guess the truth, I'm sure, since we left them a pretty big hint on those accounts.  But if they tell the rest of these people that the ESN was responsible...some will believe them, of course, but to the more paranoid element, it sounds like they're just pointing fingers to get out of trouble."

He nodded again.  "Let's see if we can find a janitorial cart...or anything, really, that would hold the load...and load up.  By the time we get his vanishing act set up, the rest of the accounts should be close to finished."

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Dashing across the open ground Harry would relieve one of the dead merc’s of their rifle and a power pack before returning to where Will and Lyri were taking cover; with her using the pulse rifle to continue firing upon the building. Hearing his comment she would smile across at Will, clearly enjoying herself despite the cock up to their mission or the current situation ”yeah this is just like that episode of Captain Lightning where he kills the bad guys and gets the girl!” she exclaimed with a giggle that was punctuated by several shots from a pulse rifle.

With the arrival of Teela she’d help herself to a pair of frag grenades and some more hard ammo as the pulse rifle was really to her liking and heavy to boot ”Wings and Things you’re here! I heard a rumour that you’d been a bad little Angel?” she teased whilst filling her pockets, before then signalling Lyri that she was ready when she was.

When the order to "go" was given Teela moved up her side with Lyri and the others, staying low and breaching the entrance with the rest. Anything that moved that wasn't one of theirs was given a blast or two of heavy pulse for their troubles.

Seeing that the fight was turning into more of a CQC type of situation Teela let her rifle hang from the sling and drew the silver firearm she took off the dead vamp as well as one of her mono-molecular edged blades.

She became an instrument of death - shooting the enemy when she could and cutting them wide open when they made the mistake of moving in on her.

”Because there’s far more daring do on the show...and Broadsword is hot!” Harry responded with a laugh as she continued to fire at muzzle flashes wholeheartedly agreeing that poor Lt Star needed to move on, not that she was far enough into the show to see the new girl.

Despite being referred to as “Fish and Chips” where the hell did she get that!? she was still glad to see Teela here, though she would have to wait until later to learn what exactly her friend had done to fall into the Admirals bad books as she’d been far to busy with her own Op to listen too closely to the cross chatter.

As the rest of the team launched their assault upon the building Harry would drop the bulky pulse rifle she’d been using and follow Will into the building; firing a few quick bursts from her Machine Pistol to cover him as he toppled the vending machine. It was as she was crouching behind the machine watching for muzzle flashes within the rest of the building that she would quickly help herself to a couple of bars of chocolate offering Will a slightly embarrassed smile before grabbing one of her grenades and throwing it towards a doorway from which someone had recently fired from, shouting ”Fire in the hole!” as she did so.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

  Grenades  went off   white zips of  hot  hard  ammo   went back and Forth.. as  blue-white  blobs  , or streams  of Pulse  rounds  hissed    back and forth

 Teela ….   looked about , as she  stood  by the Broken  window that Ellen  hand entered... the  ceiling was too low  for her to take  flight..at least.... take flight  and not die... Lookign at the Broken rood that  hung over the VAn Lyri's team used,  and the  3  small windows   ou the second  floor ( which was very close to the  roof of the Tunnel. she  had to decide  what to do.

 Will.. re3ached  down  and  got a  CAn of  soad,,,he shook  it  Hard  , popped the   top, just slightly, and threw it   on the balcony.. the spinning  soda Looked  like  smoke...in the smoke,  ,  Two  Mercs Got up to get out of the  way, Will blew one's  Head off,  and  winged the second one.....they said, too much soda  is no good for you!

 Ellen was curled up  By a chewed up sofa, she Looked in a bad  way, extending her attack  almost to the Balcony..  She  was being fired  on..down.. from  a few people who had the nerve to pop up... SMG  fire  from Shadow, and Justin.. along  with Justin's    weapons    either put them  down..or kept then hidden.

 Shade looked  around  , Bleeped somethign and  scurried as  Fast as he  could towards   Ellen,, He Grabbed her by the   arm  and  pulled her    , Under the balcony and tossed her against the wall on  Lyri's  side of the Building.. he was Bleeping and whirling  up a storm.. Ellen shook off the toss   , not  having a clue what he was saying.

 ..Rolfe!.. we have  two Uner the BAlcony... geek your  eounds to the upsetairs..  try to target the Door ways.. I think they are behind the walls   and using the stairs      as  a staging poitnt.

 ..Aye  sir... BAlcony it is...

 He Looked at Justin  and Nodded  after the Next 'poom'..  then charged  Forwards  leaping over     a  bullet riddled  , 'leather'  chair  to  LAnd on a wounded Merc  who was  firing  at   The  folks  by the vending machine area. The  Man  Scream   as   Shadow  landed, , cross  drawing the  Trench   knife to slashed   the man's neck, then left him to  struggle  as   he Moved  toward   the door.. .. now  Hiding Behind the Pool table they used for the Pre-game.

 Supe      Moved  down  along the right  wall  his  BAck to it   as he  fired   a burst every  now  and then to the left  balcomy.. either    hitting  or   chasing away.. troops that came from the  door...  after  each   explosion, he  would  move  another  yard or two  down the  wall.

 Tucker.. stayed  by him and  fired   at anyone  coming out the  lower  door  on their side.

  Karson had made some of  Hemsly's  famous  Biscuits  and  would toss  two or three on the balcony.. then..when he saw movement.. Trigger them to   surprise..and  either kill or MAim  those who came out.

 Brooks stayed close  to Nikki.....I'm bettin'; they  dinna  tell ye  about things like this  in flight school.. aye?


 Lyri  and KArl   had a Postion between   will  and   Shadow..  they saw  Shade  grab the over eager  new girl and  drag her under the balcony.. and   Shadow , with Justin  surge  forward..the Balcony was gettign quiet now... her  rifle  fire  was  spent. like  each round was paid  for, out of her pocket... but  often rewards  with a  scream of  Pain, surprise.. or the   'thunk' of a body dropping.

 Minnet was    sliding down the wall Like Sup.. using her  heavy Pulse  to  cross fire   at the top of the balcony to the right.

  Fowlkes   was  down..  about   5 yards  behind  Will and  Harry  Hawkes was  just Inside the  Door  with his   Pulse rifle..   looking   at the Balcony  yo cover  Rolfe


Shadow   shouted into  the   Captured COM.....Its all over   LT  H..... the best you could do now, is ..maybe..kill one or two more of us.... but you're  trapped  like   Stem Rats....


 He Motioned  ( hoping  folks  could see/pay attention...)..  to the Balcony, for    people to get on top.

 .. YOur  people.. are.... impressive... flyboy.. But You'll have to come  and get us...

  Shadow   Yelled   across the floor.....I need a Cook!

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Teela saw Shadow's gesture to have people get on top and pulled back into cover as she weighed her options. She signaled to get his attention then used a complicated series of hand motions to let him know she was going to throw two grenades before using the van rather than fly to get up to the second floor balcony and that some covering fire would be wonderful.

She pulled two flashbangs and threw threw one into the left-most window and the other into the centre. "Fire in the hole!"

She was up and moving, leading with her weapon before the echoes died down.

  The grenades   went Off.. again some    shouts  of   surprise    from inside the   walls.

  Teela  got the  the Baclont seeing   the Bises , and pasrts of  Bodies, and  lots of crates of  ammo  they   were using.

 Rolfe  fired   My more  round  to the Right... then said on the COMs,..That's  it!...  we have friendlies  up there.. I have 6  rounds of  each left....

   Get up top... so you can send    rounds  down the   stairs...   Gunfire   died   down.. one  fellow   tried  to   come out the  door  and saw torn to ribbons  by Shades SMG and  Ellen's    rifle.

 Shade  made  signals  to each door  on teh ground,  as  well as point to the top again...

  It was  quiet, except  for teh crackle of   fire.. a Moan here or there... and the shuffling of  feet as they responded to the orders.

  SHade  Bleeped  and whirled …

  ..of  cours e  ytoyu smell somethign burning.. the  damn  building is  burning... then he looks,..you don't  even  have a Nose!

 Shade  stomped his   foot, and  pointed  at the slight peak   above his  mouth , where a set of  small holes  were...  The    Bleeped   even louder.

 ..wait?  That works?....

 Shade    Bleeped    again....  and grinded  harshly...

 what?.. No?.. I just though.. you know.. it was  for holding Sun glasses   or  something...

 Shade  threw  a  Piece of  masonry  at him .....alright... I'm sorry... sheesh...

 The  Verian pointed to the door  near them, and  rattled of series of sounds...Metal  Burning?......


   By then Karson reached them.....I  want 1/4  block of C-10   in this door  and T hat,   Blow them as you throw them...

 TOPSIDE...BE READY FOR BLOWBACK.... SHADE THINKS THEY ARE  CUTTING THROUGH TO  THE LOWER TUBES...

  Supe    Now hand his    weapon trained on the  door to the   Right  as   Karson    cut the Black and  armed the first one.

 Tucker   watched  along  with  Brooks  and Nikki.....so?..... they  have to be cutting into the backside  wall?.... that means  they won't  drop down into the MAin  traffic tubes.. but   will be dropping  down into the Maintainence  tubes  behind the wall?


   Hawkes  followed   Rolfe   up  as they  climbed  on table s  and     Jumped up  , pulling themselevs up....I'll  fire into the one on the  right.... after KArson  bows  the one on the left..  I'll fire    one down the right and he can hit the only on the left...

 Will   took a look outside  through the   holes... to see if  he noticed  anything  sneaking Up.

With the fire fight continuing to rage all around her Harry would fall back to check on Folkes condition, leaving Will to cover the holes as she did so. Should he prove to be in a stable enough condition she would move him into cover behind the vending machine With her and Will. Her first aid skills were only basic at best but she would then see what she could do about his injuries.

However should he prove to be beyond saving she would leave his body where it was and resume guarding the rear with Will, leaving the assault to the likes of Teela and Shadow who seemed to have a better handle on what was going on.

 Fowlkes  took a  round  to the chest.. he was out.. and bleeding .  Basic    field aid  would have   Harry Foam the hole  and plaste the outside.. and let Med techs  dig around, if ..and when they got back.

  KArson Nodded  and  Held Up three  Fingers.. he had the  half brick in his hand

  ...ON THREE!....ONE...... TWO.... THREE!

 Rolfe  Pumped a  Frag  down the stirs  on the right.. the explosion  echoed with  screams...  Fie  Blew  out the top and Bottom of the stairs,   as  Role  Grinned.. hugging the wall

  Karson threw  the   Brick.. dove towards  Shadow  and   the  Builifn  Shooks, Flames  Licked  out  Both the Top and the  Bottom

  Now!   switch.. do it again!  Rolfe  ran   over to Teela's  stairs    he HAd  HE in this  time...

 Karson ran across to the other... the count  down started  again..   and  Rolfe  Fired   Divign  onto the Balcony.as   More Flames  Licked   up  have  the  stairs  shook.

 On the right   side , there was something Differant,  , after the Flames  and shake.. Black  smoke  poured  .. Out

 Shade  Waved  His  SMG  and    BLEEPED  A LONG BLEEP...


 Everyone!  get the 9 hells  out... don't stop running until you reach the  Far side of the  Tube!

 Shade   stood there  with Shadow   as he  looked about  to make  certain  everyone  was going..Ellen  Smiled  shyly at Him   until he snapped   ' RUN!"  and she did..


    Will   helped    Harry Get Fowlkes   and   Minnet   stood  between   Lyri and KArl  as they Moved..

 Supe   and Tucker   waited  for  Shadow  who kept  waving them  along.. Role  went  down the   broken  ceiling.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

<flex slightly> (ooc: sorry at work)

She looked at Tucker and Brooks "Let's go screw with their escape route" she would lead them through the zone to find a blind spot out "Well kinda late to do this and make it look nice..we'll just have to do it fast and ugly..blow up maintainance tunnels" When out of the fire zone she looked to get a more secured link to get diagrams and directions for the maintainance tunnels as some explosives were gathered up.  then they would disappear into an entrance.  Plan is to blow their possible escape routes.

Unless under fire they would wire the maintenance tubes they could use and blow them as soon as they heard the explosions above

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

      as the   others  ran   Shadow   Hustled  a Little  Bit, Shade  seemed to be going  on  about something.

  One  Outside the    Wall,   both of nthem  Ran  hard,,, Shadow  stiooed to  grab   Shade   and  pulled him   along.. Looking to Teela,  He  said in an uncharacteristic  curt tone.


 ..I believe  I  told everyone what was going to happen.. I  even gave    a Count  down

 Shade Bleeped...

 ..sorta....   Faint  sounds  of  screams ,, that  got   Louder   , the  whole section of the Tube  Shook,  the    Inside  Blew  Out  towards the Parkign Lot...


 ..Hit the   dec!!!!!…  Bricks,   plaster,  Metaglass and even a body or  two  Flew outward...  Muffled  explosions  sounded  like    a chain reaction  car  wreck.

   sections  of the   Upper   Tubes   Bucked  out wit a few   holes appearing    jetting out Flames... Fire Control alarms  Blared  as  Red  lights went on..


    Shade     waved  his  arms  around     as he whirled...

 ..Shade says... the   heating pipes   are   on the inside od the Tubes, to protect from attacks.... i guess, whatever gasses they use  out here... doesn't do well with  Fire...

  the inside of teh Building  was an Inferno..  wails   and   pained  cries  for  help could barely be heard  from deep inside ..

 ..well..... I think  we've  done  enough tonight... lets go home, before  Fire Control  gets here... I got   Dibs on that  Green sports  car...

 there  were two   black Vans , a green  sports  car and  a  Black  hard top.

 He  walked over to the Green Car  waiting to see who all was going with him, he watched the fire..heard the  screams.... and smiled.

"Copy that, LC." Teela picked the van Fowkles was in and began attending to him as the rest settled in. She took of his armour and saw the chest wound and immediately put dermafoam on it before covering it with a pressure bandage from the first aid kit.

She rolled him over and looked to see if he had an exit wound and treats that if one is present. She put on him oxygen and started an IV to replace volume loss.

"He's stable for the moment, LC but definitely in critical condition with this chest wound. I'll monitor him on the flight back to the Hermes."

 ..get going , stay on that van tight..  I want Fowlkes on the   Hermes   5 minutes ago...

  Brooks  and   KArson were goign with   Nikki in the last VAn.....get going...  fly  on the other side of the tube , and high,, make sure that

  Shadow watched the flames  for a bit  more.. they could see the lights  coming now.. some civies  who lived  and the next block of building  were  waving to the Fire control.

 They  Shadow got in the  car and started  it   up  shooting  forward like a fighter  taking off...

 ..You fought  well in there  Ellen.....

 ..Thank you!..trying to earn my spot! she Gushed.

  his headed nodded a bit.. as his eyes   followed the   tiny lights   down range that was their crewmates...

 ..   Lyri mentioned you   tapped into the  SEC  Cams  and  COMs..  and found out  that feeds went back and forth  tot eh MArks, and the  Base?


 ..yeah!.. they  tried to hide it in housekeeping  SIGs...


 ..but?.. that's  not how you found them...right?


 what?  her smile died.

 ..you knew that, because that's how the SSN  used  SIGs  to  get info to and from Anzio...That's the reason the SSN..like daumbassses.. took the chance to  run past us while they  thought we were on Aqra yet?

  Shadow Nodded  slowly as the  car  rose a  bit Higher.....and you waited  to say  anything until the  Ball went to  9 hells..and  we  were flat out screwed?

   Maria    racked   her   weapon so it was  ready to  fire,  heading off down the stairs   to see what she could  find...

 beth   was shakign her  head,look at this!... there  are  what?.. a total of  some 90 accounts?.... and   the  machine   says  2 more minutes  yet.. what is this  ?  The year  2000?.. I bet  the cavemen downloaded  stuff  off thier  walls fster then this!


..

 the accounts , finally did get empty, Beth began to take apart her   hook ups.. every now  and then she crossed  a  wire  into  another  feed, and  ran something.

  as she watched the   screen  she crossed her  arms   and said,..sending  a random  message from the legit  accounts.. to the   independent accounts, telling them that since   the EDT took thier   creds.. they  were   foreclosing on any  'loans'

 ..now?  There is  a good bet they never even heard of each other..much less have loans?.. but that will make the whole  thing  look shiftier ... and? if some one untangles this mess and finds out it was us... we  shoudl  sign them  to our side..because they would be better then me!

 Maria  showed up with a Hover Car and  a Female Ape.. and a Male halfbreed Apefolk.. both of them   would make  Supe's   shoulders and arms  look  like Tucker compares  to Supe.

 The little  dark haired  SEC trooper  grinned,..I found these  2 ..um.. standing guard...

 The Apefolk female looked  down at the  ground a moment.. as close to embarrassed  as  an ape  folk might look... the male Looked  a bit uneasy.....I assumed they were bored, and asked them to  take the bodies  and....get rid of them...

 ..they were unsure, at first... until i said  i'll go ask Captain Targ if i could find someone to  help me..since they seemed to be busy.... They did not  wish to bother the Captain with trivial matters  and said they would  help... Maria's  Brown eyes  shifted  to the  Female    then  to Roy as she grinned.


 ..Yes.. we  wil take bodies  away... no need for Captain Targ to hear of us.. as we took Break...

 ..didn't look like much of a break....

  both ape folk looked   uneasy..

Between Maria's broad hints and the uncomfortable looks of the Ape Folk, it didn't take Roy long to figure out what had happened.  "Everyone appreciates a little time alone...or alone with someone, anyway," he commented drily, then stepped aside to indicate what was left of the bodies.  "That one, in particular, we need to be absolutely unfindable...but it would be good if all three vanished without a trace."  He paused, and looked at the pair, significantly, giving them a moment to begin considering what that meant.

"How you do it is up to you.  Think you can handle the job?"  He stopped short of offering to alibi them to Targ...the less said about that, the better, right now.  He'd prefer the job be done without duress...well, without further duress, anyway.

Roy nodded to Beth.  "Let's pack up, then...sounds like things have gone quiet for our end of the mission...it's been long enough that Shadow's likely dealt with the ANSEC issue.  I mean, he hadn't called for more reinforcements, and he's not the type to leave traitors alive for very long, so..."  He shrugged.

"That means saddle up and get back to the Hermes, we can get some second- and third-string techs started putting names on these anonymous account numbers, and I'm sure the Admiral's going to want a report."

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

  The lights  flashed, and Beth took the  last of the cords  out, her hands  deftly coiling  feed wires to  put into her satchel.


  well..  I know  2  things  for certain... 1...we didn't get all the  creds....I'm sure there are other ..um...banks?   scattered  around... But we  emptied this one..and  regardless of  what we missed... these folks are going to miss  this...alot!

 the  Ape  folks  were on thier  way down  As  Beth said... ready!

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Roy nodded.  "Didn't figure we'd bankrupt the EDT in one fell swoop..." he responded.  "But we've hamstrung their operations in this sector.  Some of their supporters are likely to go belly-up...other, larger ones will potentially look at this and decide EDT operatives are not the safest place to hide their money, and pull out.  That will make the damage even worse...  "

When Beth announced she was ready, Roy grinned.  "One last touch, if you didn't think of it already..."  He hefted a stack of crates full of cred discs.  "Crack the internal security system and delete any record of our arrival after we left the Ball...let's not leave any hints behind, I want this guy gone without a trace, literally...no idea where they should start looking for him."  He smirked, and added, "I mean, if you're up for it, of course..."

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

   Beth  purses her lips as she looks  around, then settles down at the  desk outside the office.

  she begins  tap away, her eyes moving almost as  fast as her fingers ..she frowns.. talkign while she's typing,..someone  hacked this   pathway before...The only CAMs  working in this building  are the ones    for the  main Hall where the Dance was?... It wasn't   us..that's for damn sure... not only didn't  i do it, or give the order?.. its  too damn sloppy...

 ..one  SIG leads  to LaQual... the other SIG  leads to Gladra.....and? that's it...anyone  giving orders, sent them through those  2.....

 then she  Punched  a  button....

 all over the   area, if there was a CAM...hidden or not.. there was a pops   and a  fizzle...

 Its done... its  isolated   to this section of the building, and around back... there is a 'Piranha' feed going through the CAM lines... it will make it all the way back to the ANSEC..i mean  APFSEC hq's  and burn them out?  they can be stopped if someone is good enough, but it won't recover  any think that's eaten..

 Then she pulls out her  weapon and shots the  keep board  three  times,..and?.. no sniffers..

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Roy nodded.  "Okay...NOW we go.  Maria, my arms are full...keep one hand free to grab a weapon in case we get jumped on the way to the van.  We got these vehicles from ANSEC...they may or may not be clean."  He walked as he spoke.

"The fact that nobody else got blown up leads me to be pretty sure there's no explosives, but the could have put trackers on the vehicles...and I highly doubt the whole organization got caught in Shadow's retribution visit.  So keep a sharp eye open and be ready to start shooting."

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

Roy gave a curt nod.  "I'm sure there are plenty of them still around..."  He shrugged in resignation.  "We'll just have to keep an eye open and guns handy until we get back to the ship..."  He hefted the boxes of discs into the van, checking to make sure his rifle was where he'd left it.

"You've got the wheel, Maria...take us home."

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

    "That's okay Hemsly, you did great." Garrat had drawn his milled pistols and cut remaining troops down from the oposite side, waiting behind containers till they were engaged with the boarders and then catching them in crossfire.

  When the last of the threat was contained He looked around.  "Okay, let's see what they are carrying that was worth dying over."

   He goes through the cargo to see what it is.

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

  The   Gunnery SGT walked  with  Garrat  Hemsly  came  down from the Bridge  after   gathering thier  goodies.

   Naggy had    Ma-Ti  stable, the    transport Trooper Med tech worked on her .

  Te  Gunny shook his ehad  as he  pointed at odd writings.. they brought a Longshorman Up to record the  opening of  Containers, after the  ramps were put back down.

  The Gunny  and  troopers markign crates that had the same langueges.., and then they opened a few....

  A First they  found  food  stuffs, clothing and some  tools  and the like.

 Then,  in the  Bow, where the Out Going containers were, they found it... Continers with bodies in  suspension pods.. to keep them alive and  Fresh, until needed....  The Gunny called the troops   over to Open all the 'departing' cargo  containers, They found  27  containers  containing   Humans and Sanri.. 3 more  were jammed  with Occui pods. Lonnox and other Mamamals  were   stacjed in a few others..all alive..mnore or less...


 ..Looking at these    containers.. have of the real cargo  goes to the same planets  that some of the    people-containers  do

Re: ANZIO-LAST HOPE

    Garrat checks in with Ma-Ti with concern. "How are you doing girl."


    After making sure she and Hemsly were secure and stable Garrat responded to Naggy "That is an upside.  We all did good work today, but it was a drop in the bucket."   Garrat shrugs, "But we can't fill the bucket of victory without grabbing every drop we can." He looks at his com speculatively. "It occurs to me that when this goes public we need it to look more like an official operation than a bunch of rag tag soldiersdoing whatever Hack wants us too.  Let's see if we can suport that."

    On the com, "Note to security.  The mission was acomplished but not without sacrifice.  Hemsly was wounded in the shoulder and Ma-Ti took a hit in the hip.  Ma ti finished the mission without comment still showing the excellence we have come to rely on from her people, and will be taken immediatly to the medical bay in the hopes she heals enough to give an old space marine dance lessons before leaving the station.  It should be noted that I asked Hemsly to go above and beyond his training as suport after he was wounded and he aquited himself excellently.  The rest of the team were everything I could hope for on this mission and if the night is young enough we would like to continue to help cleanse this station and suport the brave people who have hung in with it all these years.  Dozens, of sentient beings were to be shipped, barely alive n stasis chambers, with standard supplies to a given destination.  It bodes well that we were able to intervene in their fate, and we will bow our heads for a moment of reflection for those whose fate we were nod able to intervene in."  Garrat sends pictures of those in the pods, that there is record of how they were being shipped like cargo, and waits for further orders.
