With Captain Morris stating that she was free to go if she wished Harry would glance in Luke's direction as she spoke "Well that would depend on Luke here...I'm happy to stick around and lend a bit of moral support if he wants me to" she said not wanting to leave him in the lurch. However if he was confident enough to speak with the captains by himself she be more than happy to return to her quarters before going in search of Will "would you like me to stick around for a little while Luke, or have you got this?"

   Luke  looked at  Harry  with a Grin,..no.. I'm good.. If  I'm gonna be on the ship, I can't have you holding my hand.. Thanks for all the Help, this has been great!   No Matter what Happens..   I can't thank You enough!

 Morris   gave a slight smile  and  gave  Harry a Head  jerk towards the elevators , turning to Luke,..come along  son, lets  see if  you  have anything we  can use...


  As they walked towards the QM,  they   passed through  flightlines..his eyes  got  big when he saw Felrite  Techs  workign of  the Felrite fighters .

 ..so.. we looked you up on the  Recruiters  files.. and they  said  Cook or   CArgo Loader?....But we're  gonna  take a Look in the QMs...  its a slow start, but if yer  willin' ye  can take classes  fer shuttle support, and work your  way up to   Fighter  support...

 ..can I ask?.. why do they need folks in  the QMs?

 ..ther last couple times  we were boarded, we lost alot of Hanger Dec  people...

 Luke  Nodded  with  wide  eyes

Justin strolled onto the Hangar deck, weaving his way towards B Flight line to check on the process of the recent application he'd developed. ASAP he'd need to get permission from the Deck Officer to do so. He thought of asking the nearest TecEng about his location but decided it was easer all round to send a text com for approval.

 Justin saw  Captains  Morris  and Rivets  with  some Gangly Civie  kid walkign to the Quartermaster's  area.

  Harry was  walkign away,  towards the    entry ramp  while Teela  and Nikki were comign up  with thier   bags of goods.

In reply to hanger Dec (msg # 10):

Delaying his message Justin s trolled over to Teela and Nikki. Looks like you two has a successful raib. Did you leave anything, beside a wad of credits, for the locals? he asked smiling.

"We did pretty good.  Did miss afew items.  Harry came back with a fanboy.  I came back with some things for Haley...and a few for me" on the last part was the bag holding her new nightie.  She blushed a touch.  "A few bags are for Harry as well.  Found a nice restaurant to eat at.  Good service too.  Anything interesting happen here while we were shopping?  Vampick invasion, Gava racing?"

In reply to Nicole Rutledge (msg # 12):

Justin glanced at the number of packets, parcels and boxes, catching Nikkies reaction to the last bag she mentioned.
Got a newbie hot shot transferred in. Don't think he'll last. Far too many links with ETD, thinks himself better than everyone else, resulting in some personality clashes. He's currently in the Brig reviewing Battle footage in prep for an Oral exam by AH.

"Well... lets hope he is not a spy like that one last guy that Shadow sent walkin'" she said in her slow southern drawl.  "Atleast I waited a day or two before getting an ass chewing" she gave a light laugh about it now.  It was not fun then, but she learned from it.  "Right now gonna get these through the check and put away, then gonna go pick up Haley.  I'm sure she has probably got every goat, cow, and chicken on a first name basis."

Teela laughed softly. "We did manage to increase the local economy some but I couldn't find what I was really looking for so I'll wait until we get to our next station and see if I can find it. New guy about to be tested by the Admiral. That is something I would love to see."

When told that he'd got this by Luke she'd offer the youth a smile as she said her goodbyes "well in which case, all the best and it's been a pleasure meeting you Luke" she said, shaking his hand before taking Captain Morris' hint and leaving them to it.

And so it was as Morris and Rivets was leading Luke towards the Quarter Masters that she would move to meet up with a heavily laden Nikki and Teela who were both currently speaking to Justin "oh now she's embarrassed, I don't seem to recall you blushing when you were posing in the store" Harry teased, before moving to collect her things from the girls "Well I got Luke his shot, it's up to him now to impress Morris and Rivets" she said nodding her head in Luke's direction as her hands were now full of shopping bags. She hoped it would work out for him as he seemed a nice guy, though whether he would be able to restrain himself should Shadow make an appearance was another matter entirely "Well ladies It's been a pleasure, but I think i'm going head back to my quarters and change...give Will a little surprise" she said chuckling in anticipation of the look on Will's face when she walked into SEC wearing a dress.

Finger waving to Justin and the girls she'd then make her way to the lifts that would take her up to her quarters.

---> Officers Quarters

“Are you going to be naked with just your Blue Max on, Harry? I hear that’s quite a look for you.” Teela said with a look of complete innocence.

    As the Ladies   were  Talkign to Just , and the CAptains  reached the QM  with Like..Landing Lights came on  the Shuttle  Bay, a Shuttle , marked   from the   ESN Sandstone arrived,  Morris    and  Rivets turned   ..  both captains    approached leaving Luke  by the  QMs  cage.

 when the  ramp came  Down.. and  Odd lookign.. Human-Demon like being  stepped down... The  Chief  from the shuttle said, Captain Morris?   We  found   this fellow  and a couple    privateers  still alive on a ESN flagged  sloop.. it had   engaged  with  a Larrgan   sloop  and  were  locked by boarding chains?... anyway.. we did  the  wrist scans.. and  found out he used to be  here?..  My  Captain said to bring  him here....

 the chief handed   Morris  a disc, then remounted  the shuttle, as it   turned slowly to exit.

 Rivets looked  at the  Person.. Morris    gave a nod,..Seems.. you have   found your  way back?

Zob wiped some of the Largran blood from his armor as he hoisted his big ass hammer over his shoulder, "Yeah the cuisine wasn't exactly to my liking, wanted prime rib and all they had was Alpo" he said as he stepped off the shuttle not giving half a rats ass about the fact he was covered in Largran blood as he went to light up a cigar..

  Morris   watched him with the Cigar,..well....   are you stopping in.. or returning?... If you  are here to stay, we should get your quarters  arranged.

 Rivets     said,..lots of things  have Changed..  but one thing  hasn't.. ye keep   that  cigar unlit, 'less yer  by the static  field, an' no butts or ashes on our  Dec!

Zob gave him a jeez your no fun look and put it away, he knew the rules, "Chill i'm not gonna light up in here, not stupid... i know the rules" he said with a certain disdain in his voice.

Turning his head to Morris obviously the more intelligent of the two, "Yeah i'm here to stay so we should go deal with that, besides i need a shower this blood is starting to stink"

   Captain Morris   Motioned ahead, As Rivets   stood  back with his hands on his  Hips... Luke  by the   QM's  cage  watching with an open mouth.

     Most of the   Techs on the Dec  didn't  ever  see   Zob before.   The    shorter    black englishman   leading himtowards his shed.

  TheSEC trooper at the ramp said to the Ladies,what... the... 9..hells,,,,

 Zob Morris's Shed.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

   Garrat ignored the shuttle coming in as he gazed out at the static feild, but when Zob disembarked he followed the demon into Morris' shed.

She smirked at Teelas Blue Max comment before reminding Harry of her packages.  Then just told one of the checkers to have hers sent to her quarters.  As she did so she noticed a SEC looking slack jawed.  Turning she heard the comment about Largan blood.  "Don't think Larry is gonna be happy." she said staring a few moments then collecting her packages.  "LT...Who is that?" seeing Morris and Rivets be so calm talking to a demon.

With her cheeks turning a delightful shade of pink as a result of Teela's comment, Harry would manage to recall that she had inadvertently revealed that little snippet of information back at the store "I...um...think I may save that look for when it's just me and Will" Harry muttered realising not for the first time that there were some things that were best kept to yourself. It was on that note that Harry decided to take her shopping and flee before she had chance say anything else that could be considered...unwise.

Teela laughed good-naturedly as Harry rushed off and was walking with Nikki when she turned to the shuttle and what came out of it. Her wings instantly rode high, the feathers mantling in a threat display as instinctive hate of the demon...thing rose within her. It was all she could do not to draw her sidearm or bring her pulse rifle to bare.

“What is that...thing doing here?” She hissed to Nikki.

Justin returned Harries finger wave, then grinned mischievously at Nikki's comment about the Blue Max. Noticing their surprised expression Justin turned to look in the direction the women were, spotting Zobaich, he grimaced and glanced towards the bulkhead. That's one of the many Hebee's, AH allows on the Hermes. Its a merc which has been utilised previously. I'd have put a slug right between its eyes the first time I saw it/him, because it us what it is. Then again hey, I'm just a dumbass who doesn't know any better.

"It's a demon, period. I don't care if it's a hybrid it's a demon and should be thrown out the nearest airlock. They are not to be trusted, ever. They breathe deception and will turn on us the moment it suits it to do so." Teela spat out through clenched teeth. "Filthy thing."

"Well....Next few days to the next station is going to be interesting" she said picking up the last of bags.  "LT...Unless I'm needed...mind if I take these to my quarters?" She said to Kase.  It was obvious she bought the most.  "Teela?  want to stop by I know I have a bit of that drink I was telling you about...If you want to try it" she offered

"Let's do that," the Angel replied. She picked her bags up and nodded to Justin as they left. Her eyes were very dark at this moment.

With Teela in tow and laden like a camel in a caravan she made for the lift and to the Officers quarters.  "I hope they put the extra bed in.  Had them put an upper bunk in." she said as they moved.
