Hannah tried not to laugh but she couldn't hold back a small snort. Kray was really pissed about that car! Still, she didn't want the commander to think she was making light of the situation. She understood now the need for the "distraction" and the pragmatic side of her completely accepted that it would have been dangerous to warn her of their plan. Now, though there was unexpected damage to control and she owned that part of it was her own fault.

"Thank you, sir. I came back the fastest way possible." Wasn't that the truth? She'd have swum if she'd thought it would get her here faster. And, you know, not dead. "If there is no more need for a distraction, I too really would appreciate Kray not stepping out with - er - Miss Si... I mean, the other one..." Eloquent and succinct. Yeah, that was Hannah.

..You were good at Your  Job, Shadow. Though I must admit, Un-Li seemed to enjoy the  task more then you did...but you pulled down alot of  Vid crews from the Uppers...No body cares abotu a building blowing up, when there is  an Angel Princess danicng around  with a Human Pilot...  The Commander Nodded with a  sad  smile,


  Kray Looked down at his  botos  for a moment, then Up[ to the Commander,It wasn't  fair, Sir...to those whow atched...My family, friends...Hannah..thinking i'm no better then someone  like  LT. Steele...some of those people. I have to fight  beside...lead...

  The Comnader  looked at Hannah,Well Hannah? we're all friends here..what have you to say?

Hannah chewed her bottom lip and her hand tightened its hold on Kray's for a second. She took a moment to collect her thoughts. "I didn't like it. I understand why... sort of... but I still wasn't happy about the situation. However, I trust your judgement in this. I'm sure you considered all viable options before choosing Kray as a distraction."

She let go of Shadow's hand and began to pace. "I don't have all the facts, and I don't think I need them. Beyond what Kray has already told me, I need no explanations. I'm satisfied, truly." She stopped and faced the commander. "All I want to do now is focus on helping Kray regain the trust of his- our friends. If there's anything else you feel I should do, or a certain way you want us to handle this, I'll do it."

She wasn't sure what more to say. She just wanted to take away Kray's pain. He was hurting because he felt he'd lost his honor and the regard of his friends and compatriots. Hannah wanted to help.

  The Commnader Looked at the Two of them. The LC crossed the  Floor to put her hand on  Hack's hand.There was a chance...without a distraction..we could  have either lost people..lost targets....in the end..we didn't lose anyone, and  we got our targets...on Olympus...there will be less children being eaten...

  As  Far as  what you two wish  to do witht eh others? I'll leave that up to you...perhaps..we'll all learn somthing  about  our Crew...


 ..now..why don't you two take advanatge of  your downtime, and see what the others   are thinking...

 Kray Nodded and Saluted, bot the LC and HAck..... as they turned to go to the door, Hack added, Hannha? I'm sorry  for what we may have put you through..perhaps...this  will serve a a goodstudy of your future together...

Hannah half-smiled. "Civilians are the priority. I understand." She began to follow Kray out the door but turned to smile once more to Commander Hack and LC Si. "I'm sorry too. I only hope all of this isn't a poor reflection of me."

She followed Kray out the door, ready to help mend fences.

<<<< Oria  and  Si


    Commander Si  camp of the lift and  walked down the Hall to her  Quarters, Two SEC guards saluted as they stood  with thie pulse rifles. She waited outside the door  for Oria.

<<<Off Duty 2

She made her way quickly to the quarters then slowed to a near stop as she seen the guards. She only continued after seeing the commander. She gave the commander a bow. "Thank you for seeing me ma'am." It was still clear that there was fear and worry in her eyes.

  She  nodded with a smile, Always, when we are able...we try to see those who need seen... Once in side,  Si Poured herself  a coffee and asked  Oria  if she  wish a cold  drink or a hot one,..now? what do you need?

Oria shook her head with a slight frown. "No thank you, I'm not thirsty." She found her a seat and leaned forward elbow to knee. "My father has tracked me down. He says he will be arriving when the next battle is over. I haven't responded yet because I need your help in another disguise. Like an the Hermes Ambassador." She looks down with a sigh. "That is all I can think of to stay safe from his clutches."

 What do you mean..Ambassador? to where?..Detla Planets?..I not asure if you would  want to go there....?  she sips from her  drink, a bit concerned.

Oria looks down. "I don't really care to what. the title was just an Idea so he would be force to leave me alone. He, he cant remove me from here if I have an important title... Even if it was faked. I can dress the part and even act the part since I am a princess of those worlds." She said looking up, the worry in her eyes held but her voice seemed angered.

  She  walked  back and forth a few steps, sipping from her coffee as she did. She held the cup up,,,i do not know why, we  could not have invented this....it is a very satisfing drink...

 ..You do know, That the 4th  Circle  was just here, not long ago, to tow away the Rava....Father sought to take Both  , Me and My sister from the Hermes......none know  were the  3rd Circle is...But the  1st and  2nd circle  are still orbiting  Earth..The Homeworld's  Vessel should be comign soon, and  all our Cicles  will join with it again...well..except the  3rd circle, since we do not  know what happened to it...You would not want to go back to the Mother Ship?

She looked up with a bit of confusion. "So what you are saying, is that I should take the next transport to earth and come back with one of the other ships?" She asked. Perhaps it was her fear of her father coming along that caused her mind to twist things around.

  Oria.... My Sister..and Myself..are  Princesses of the 4th Circle....as You and your sister...whereever she may be...are of the 3rd Circle.....My father  cannot take me back, because i have MAted  with a Human....and Un-Li may...indeed..follow my example.  If she does not..she already has her title as Ambassador in the Delta Sector...she will, be given the job at Fuji...or perhaps  stay on board the Hermes  , so we have an Ambassador , when  Oliver needs  an Offical, other then himself, for treaties  and the like....


  she  walks  a bit again,...you would have to come out, with your rnak, in order to claim one of those Ambassador  status...or..evenbe stationed on Tortuga, and  act as the Ambassador  for  Tortuga, Elba  and Bura....once  we take Bura....but...when the Mother ship comes, and the Circles  rejoin her....all Angels will neeed to report back to the mother ship, and be replaced  by new Angels, unless...they are anchored  by some reason....

  Slanted eyebrows  rise  just a bit, as does her smile,...so..you would need to come  out of you hiding...so-to-speak..to claim a job that only  a blood royal could claim...

Oria looked at Si a bit confused still then suddenly her eyes lit up. "Then I will say that we work this out soon." She paused for a moment as she stood up. "Would there be a suitor that you could recommend? I was interested in Mr. Apple, but after what he did, and since he is gone..." Everything was starting to look up to her, she would go through any steps she needed to. But first with being the younger of her and her own sister, she had not been taught the rights that needed to be taken for all of this. She had ran before these lessons took place. "What should we start first."

  she smiled,  well... it is hard to say Oria...you cannot  just pick a human and say...'you are mine'..  they need to be attracted first....as you have seen with Shadow and Un-Li...Shadow bested her ..Suggested...on the Mother ship..or on  one of the Circles? That would have laid claim to her...but humans do not quite work that way....

  Opening   the  Fridge, Si took out a traay of smaall pastries, made by her own hand, that were considered favorites amoung the Angels,...The  Ambassador spot on the ship would be a god place to start...but you must be forth coming  about your linage........or  Fuji...either  way? Un-li will have first choice, since she is older then you....you are in luck, that Oliver has claimed this space for ESN and the AP....none other of our kind  would  tread this far from the Circles, and the Angels  aboard ship, are below our status...

   At the mention of Apple's name  she grew visably angry,..Apple should have been tied to the afterburners of  Shadow's  fighter and  Burned on the Hanger dec....I often told  Oliver the debriefings should  only be for the high ranking people..But he insists that its  important to have everyone's feedback....he could have been Killed...I hope the Apes on that  Delta Planet eat him....

  she took a sip of her   coffee and  a bite of  a cake  as her legs moved in agitation,....if you want to  allow  people to know you status? YUou merely have to say so..it will be added to your record,since you are already assigned to the ship....

Gears in her mind start to turn after Si was finished. "Is there going to be another celebration in the Pulse tonight, like there is after every battle?" It showed that she was in hi hopes that it would be. "If so I would like to address myself during the proceedings."

..Aye, there is..a party, daning  food..as most times.....Debrief is in the morning..

..returning to get ready for the Ball....

  The  Commander is  in her Glory  as  she   opens the closets and   has  some racks  pushed out tot eh Living room.

  Now?    we  want ankle  length  or longer?... shoulders  and  cleavage you may display as you wish. The   Woman  throwing the party is French, I would  be very surprised  if half  the people aren't naked...

  Now  choose  what you want... frans  and a few ladies  from the Civie section are here to make sure your Make up is set

Beth  and Lyri   each pick dresses and shoes , They show the Commander  and they leave

Jesse had reached Si's quarters and knocked hoping that Melia had arrived.

She was nervous in more ways than one but held them at bay.

  Si was  walking around    helping  some of the Lady Piltos  pick out   dresses..

 Miller  was  have her  face and hair  fixed by Frans,  a couple  Civie ladies  were working on others.

 Si smiled. Come on  in Ms Dalton..if i undertsnad it right? Your  are  Meeting the SGT MAjopr soemwhere?.. if you would like, just pick your shoes and dress and   you can be on your way?

 the other s  Looked at Jesse  and  waved, thinking nothing of it, some  where holding dresses up to themselves in front of the   mirrored  wall on the right hand side of the   living area.

Jesse's nerves had built up and began to settle down until Si opened the door to let her in.

Oh, uhm, hi, she said stuttering with what to say if anything.

Yes, we will be meeting, later.  I was told to come here and pick something out for the ball.

She looked at the others in the room briefly then back to Si.  You can call me Jess.  Unless you've been told otherwise.

She was hesitant on the latter.

  She ushers Jesse, in,..Of  course  Jesse.  This is one  of the   parts  of  my Job i enjoy. Nothign like  showing up , with a bunch of Hermes Ladies that will put the Everest to Shade... The Commander of the Odin and Nemeis will be joing  as  was well at the  LT who is commanding the   Slate... everyone else    will be Everest people, and people from Verian space and such....so.. though it  sounds  a bit  old fashion,  we need to..'show  off'.... we will be sending   frans  and a few others to meet you at your location, so  the rest of you can get your  makeup and hair ready.... your  entrance should be ...outstanding!!

Jesse gives a small half-grin and proceeds to enter in.

I'm really not certain what the protocol is for the evening.

She takes a deep breathe and looks up to Si.  Any suggestions? Prefer something easier to get in and out of and I don't mind to show a bit of skin.
