Teela smiled at Fran and Eckles and raised her glass to them as she has seen humans do.

  melia  and Orria  came onto the rec dec. Orria was lookign around. Melia  looked in the practiced manner of  an operative .

.. They stopped  for a moment  as they scanner the   people who were starting to arrive.

Teela May have gone slightly past the point of having a good buzz but shecould be excused given she was watching one of the funniest Earth movies she had ever
seen, even if she didn’t understand most of it. Right now the valiant yet not particularly bright king was cutting the limbs off a black-garbed knight who refused to yield.
When he looked at the blood spurting and said “tis but a scratch” she bowled with laughter and took another drink of her spiced wine. She would have to find more
from the human movie maker Monty Python.

  Brooks  and   KArson come up on death, still in thier   enviro suits .  They stopped  and talked to  Dana to get some eats  and made  to find a Table.


  others  kept watchign the   elevator doors,  to see if any others  would be making it  back.

From Civi dec

Dropping Maryanne off at the school Olivia rushed to work. Greeted the others and set to dmaking rounds of the tables collecting orders and serving these and clearing up as needed.

Teela had put a cork in the bottle that remained of her wine and been drinking water when she decided it was time to return to her quarters. She was off duty but in uniform and would not be seen drunk whilst out in public. She knew there was more alcohol yet to be matabolised so she was some ways off from being sober so she picked up her bottle and her board and made her way to the lift to her quarters.


[To Officers' Quarters]

<- MedLab

Henry, Mila and Larry came into the Rec Dec and headed for a table. (If Flores has come along, she's invited to join them.)

He sat down, yawning, and ordered raw steak for the beasties, whatever Flores wants, and a bowl of chili for himself.

 As they  came  on the Rec Dec,  some folks  looked at  LArry's   back that was  covered in a 'home made'  Larg plast.

   sitting  down , Flores ordered a small club snadwhich and coffee.

    waitresses   at the stalls where are  ready getting Mila and LArry's bowls .

Henry fishes out the meds Stefi gave him. When Mila's bowl arrives, he dutifully adds hers to it before putting it down.

"Eat up, girl, that should help with the headache," he soothed her.

  Larry   thumped his tail as his eats arrived.. the  eager     dug in.

  Mila wagged at tired tail  and waited for the Meds to get in her Food.

  Flores  smiled,pretty soon, they won't need people.. we'll have  poodles flying fighters.. and  Hedgehogs   as ground troops.

Henry watches the animals fondly as they eat.

  Larry   tries to  take 'nice  bites".. when he  finished  he  sits and Looks  around.

  Flores  is about half way down with her  sandwiches

    Lt McNeil came over, ..I haven't ehard Much  about the  Op?

Henry starts awake, he'd been nodding and hadn't touched his own meal.

"Still ongoing," he said, "But we had completed our bit, and both Flores and Larry were injured, so we came home."

  McNiel Looked a bit concerned,... well... I saw  Brooks   was on board, But he's gone. So is that KArson fellow....I was wondering  if there were going to be  any  others sent out?

 Flores    shrugs,..they got  some Aprfolks at the  HQ, cleaning up after the DAnce.... and  from what i hear.. Drop ships   handed on the  Docks in one area...so?  The Admiral is shyowing  who's boss..without  slapping the locals  down to hard....wel...some of the lcoals got slapped pretty hard.

 LAry  Thumped his tail.

Henry smiled down at the larg.

"Yes, Larry, you did your part of 'slapping down hard' - and saved my ass into the bargain."

 Larry thumped his  tail up and  down  a lot more.. it was clear he was  feeling better.

 McNiel nodded to them,...enjoy your rest.. I think , I'll just 'happen down to the Bloody Hanger Dec  and see if  any of the lads  and lasses are in a bad way..

 after she  left.. Larry  watched the   …rather  thin crowd.

  Flores   said in a softer  voice,..you know... you have been flat out targeted  the last couple times.... and those animal attacks in England and  in New York  aren't  flukes... especially the ones who took out  Shadow's family?....  the only blood he has  left is Dusk and Shade..and scuttlebutt  has it , they are  working on animal stuff  in teh US  as well?.. Mostly dfeep in the country?..I guys  they can kill more stuff out there?..

"It is scary tech when you think of it. I'm trying to be ethical about it, but the potential for abuse is tremendous."

He patted Mila.

"If Mila and I are being targetted, we must be getting something right."

 Flores   started on her last t1/4 of the   small sandwich, taking a bite  off the edge.


 ..They  either    want to stop you too...or  study you two...

 Larry was lookign at them and gave a  lame thunmp….

  ..any you...I guess.... she  chuckled.

 "Yip!"

 She leans against Henry's leg and looks up at him with a doggy grin.

"Are you feeling a bit better now, girl?"

Henry looked down at the dog fondly and rubbed her ears.

"Study, probably... they can wait until I publish, like everybody else!"

  Minnet  came on the dec, she still had  an enviro suit  andsoot  from smoke  and flames  on her face..

 Rolfe   came in  behind her, Motioning  for a pitcher and pointing to a  table.

 Larry  looked at them comign on the Dec  and thumped his tail slowly..looking at the doors.

 Looks like peopel retruning, though i don't remember Rolfe  going down....

---> Hangar Dec

Still dressed in street gear albeit minus most of her weapons and flak vest, Harry would walk out onto the Rec Dec hand in hand with Will. As they made their way over to a table she would briefly wave to Flores who was currently sat with Doc Henry as they passed before then taking a seat at her usual table. When the waitress arrived she would order herself a beer before seeing if Will wanted to split something light like Nacho's or chicken wings with her not feeling particularly hungry at this point in time.

In reply to Harriet Lynch (msg # 56):

Making rounds of the deck Olivia spotted a couple holding hands move to one of the empty tables she was assigned to attend. Weaving her way across to them she gave them a friendly smile Hi Duckies. I'm Olivia and I will be attending you at this time. Would you care to hear the specials?

  Shadow  and    Shade arrived from thier visit to the Med Tech.  They seemed to be having a  bit of banter    until they  reached the table  then  Shadow stopped and sat down  with shade..

  Larry got up  from where  he was  sitting and charged  across the rec dec      and On to Shadow   and Shade , knocking both chairs      over  and  Rubbing  his   large Muzzle over them.

 alright...alright!!!   dammit... that's the hardest i've been hit tonight!

 shade  Bleeped  a few bleeps  as well  and  the larg  got  off, sat  down thumping his tail,..I suppose  you  want  steak?

 his tail thumped  more...waiving to the   nearest waitress,Shadow said,
..a small sub  for me.....  shade bleeped..small pizza  for shade.. and  two steaks for the LArg

 Ellen sat  down by herself.. Shadow saw her and waved her over. her eyes got big and  she moved  quickly over....and , whatever she's having  as well...

 a bowl of  pasta, with  white sauce...

 Shade Bleeped...

 of  course its  good.. its  just another   type of cheese stuff...

 Shade  looked at whirled,.....please  bring a small bowl for him to try as well, thank you.

After a quick shower and change Justin headed to the rec deck spotting Shadow and his son getting a good greeting from Larry. Making his way across to the raised platform and taking a seat at an adjacent table. Placing an order for three foot long Roast beef and salad Hero's and the same Cocoa Shakes. Looks like Larry missed you. grinning broadly at the sight.
