Vissa  shrugs,we're short a bit.. well have the dress unifrom and  a Duty unofrm by  latev tonight.. the  rest will be ready by mid day tomorrow... I assume  you are goign to the Ball?  You may  be  called to  the Captain's  for  an Angel Silk dress or  gown.

 as  Meari  puts her armor on,, the front girls   walks  back  into the back and down a ladder, she  comes back up after  a few moments.. with  the  shotgun and two  boxes of shells.

 24  rounds... one combat shotgun... You can request  more   shells when there is  a Jump off maybe a bandolier  or two?... we'll let you know when the Blades get here..

 Meari nods and replies," Oh that is fine, I will be by after the run tonight to pick those up, oh I will wear my Dress Uniform to that I have umm never worn a dress Seaman Vissa." Meari actually looked scared about wearing a dress.

 She would take the shot gun and sling it over her shoulder and then put the 24 shells into her bag. She would then say," Thank you , yes please let me know when the blades get in, I need to see Captain Morris now, have a good day." Meari was trying to be what they called nice but this was all so new to her. Wearing a dress scared the fucking shit out of her, she hoped Captain Si or Sgt. Major Spencer told her she had to wear a dress.

 With that she nodded, smiled and headed for Captain Morris's shed.

------------>>>>>>>>>> From Tunnels

 Meari came in from the Tunnel run and went to the QM Lockers, she would great the person at the window and she would say," Hi I am Sgt. Meari here to pick up my uniforms?"

   Scanning Meari's  chip,  the    Clerk    called   back on the COM to bring the items  out.you are all set here ... you can either  try them on here.. or  take them to your  quarters

  then she added,..your  quarters  should be  ready by now as well...

 Meari tried to smile and she replied,Thank you I think I will try on my duty uniform just to make sure it fits while I am here.

 Meari walks into the Locker when she is allowed too, she then takes off her weapons and armor. She then takes off her Envirosuit and stands there just in her underwear. She is very toned and muscular, she does have several scars over her body as well, they could tell she has seen some combat. Meari doesn't seem to be bothered standing there only in her underwear.

 She will wait till her duty uniform is brought out and then she puts it on and tests it out to make sure it fits close but she can still move for combat comfortably. Once it is on she says to the clerks, How does it look ? Meari stood there letting the clerks take a look at how her uniform looks, she will move around a lot to make sure it fits.

  The     clerk moves  the  shoulders a Bit, ..That should  do.. the dress Unifrom   will fit the  same, one of the wonders  of  automation...once  we have the spec  programmed in,  we can  have the right  fit...

 Meari nods and says,Thank you I will wear this to my Quarters.  I will pick up the rest of the uniforms tomorrow . She will then take her side arm strap it on,her two boot weapons are fine. She will also strap on her swords as well. The rest of her weapons she puts in her bag.

 Once she has everything she grabs her armor and dress uniform and heads for her Quarters.

<<<<<<<<<  from Rec Dec

  The QM  and   Rivets  were sitting by the shuttles  playing Chess.  The LC gave Rivets a Salute.. the QM   Saluted Shadow, as they went into   the back.

 The Clerk Opens  the cage , taking them  back to the  Uniforms  and  armor. As the Clerk  measured   Roll.. Shadow  sat on a crate and  watched,

 give him  the Hat.. but..put an  anchor of the peak? we don't  want toi insult  folks who went through the training to wear the uniform. Give him the shiny buttons and
  white  Belt...

  reaching into his  jacket, he  pulled out a note  book  and  sketched  something,I want this on  each shoulder... look it up in the files?..give  him the highest rank for that..but in ESN  colors.

 she  smiled, ..yeah..we can do that...

   After  a good  15 Minutes  or  so,  The   QM  clerk,  says,All done here  LC... brink him back in the morning  so  we  can see if it  fits. A  worst, we  may have to
  mess with the Hem line...

  Get him one of those  , thin bladed  Bayonets, and   a scabbard  , so it looks like he  has a sword.

  we'll have something  for  him... see you in the Morning.

...........

 They walk through the Hanger Dec, Roll looks Up...Mr LC?  I don't   know how to  Dance...

 There is a bit of a wince,yeah?.. but that's ok..see? you're little... so no one expects  you to dance   real good... so the   Slow  stuff  you just move  around  with  your   hands   in each other..maybe  an  arm around ?.. the fast stuff, just   jump around,. make up your  own move  and , maybe watch some other  folks?..being  young?  you'll learn faster then me!

 will gregor  go?

 ..Naw?  LArry might  since he is rated as an SEC trooper...the other Largs  will have to stay aboard Maybe Gregor  can stay  with them... or  we'll see  about letting him hang out   in the hanger Dec?

 >>>>>>>>>  Back to  REC DEC

  Jax    brought  Roll down to the QMs, to meet  up with Sjadow  as they took a look at   Roll's uniform for the ball.

  It took a moment or  so  for  Roll to get the uniform on..  shiny shoes.. his cap and  his  white  belt.  The   Uniform  tech smiled  as she    Clipped on the 'scabbard  of  white Lether  that  held  a Bayonet  with a Crafted  handle.

 She looked at Roll  and waggled  a finger at him...This is not a toy.... you  can hurt some one with it...If   they tell ytou to draw it  for a   salute or something.. you   pull it out and  do what the others  do.... then you put it  right back in the scabbard...Don't let any other  Kids    'hold  it"... this is  yours, for special  times...understood?

 Roll looked at the   blade..it  was a pointy  bayonet, but is was shined  up, with a handle  that had the right grip for a Little Kid.

 ..how did you fit the hilt?

 ..Tech Lab?   They are always making Hilts and  HAndles..some one always  wants a special handle for a  blade or a  sidearm... they hooked me up

 Roll looked in the Mirror.....you think Haely will like it?

 Jax  smiled,..yeah..you look good...

 Shadow    crouched  down he  and Jax on either side of Roll as all three look into the mirror.....Now?.. when you  see  Haely.. you have to tell her  how good she looks..ok?.. and you don't  say b'I'm supposed to  say"...nope.. you tell her she  looks great..or whatever nice  thing you want to say... see?  Us guys?  we get  a uniform or  a suit on...we're all set.... the Ladies have to dress up.. do stuff with hair..put make up on....

 Now? take that off... we'll take it to SEC.. You can Jax  can get ready there, so  you can surprise  Haley

    Roll nodded  rapidly and began to change back into his pull over shirt  and   jeans

   Jax was helping witht eh little uniform to get it on a hanger  and  into the carry-bag.

 ..This is nice of you, LC?

..Me?..You did  all the work..i just brought the kid...

..you ever go to proms , while you were in school?

 ..no?  never had the Money.. my senior  year,  The Admiral  paid  for  me  and Rolls to get  Tuxes and stuff  and we went then....I made up for  it at the academy..went to  the spring  Dance...the    Holiday dance... so..yeah?..I had my shots later..but  not when i was younger.

   She  Smiled  and the  Three   guys left for SEC, with Gregor   padding along behind...  Shadow talked to  the QM  for a bit  and they shook hands .

   The QM  walked into the Cage  and pointed at the Uniform Tech....Aubrey?.... Yer  Done fer the Day... go to the Captain's  quarters  an' get fitted up fer a fancy Dress fer the BAll..

  Aubrey   started  at  the QM with her mouth hanging open.

 ..Let's Go  Tech 2!.. that's a bleedin' order!...an'.. if ye don't wannna go in the group of LAdies  that are gonna show up  in the LC's  car?.. ye tall me, an' I'll be yer Escort..aye?  Now..Get yer butt movin'  afore  all them  dress are gone!

  Tech 2, Aubery Fike looked  shocked   then   said,Already done QM!..and..and... I would Like if  if you would escort me....

 and she   zipped out the cage..heading for the   lifts..

 Jax looked at Shadow and smiled.. Shadow   just shrugged  as the    continued to SEC.

----> From hanger dec

As Zob was walking over his mind drifted back into a more combat focused mindset as he started thinking about that EDT weapon and how he needed to defend himself from it as much as possible for that he needed something more, "Can you get me measured for a suit of heavy armor?" He asked the tech in the cage.

  The Tech  looked up from her   Vidboard that seemed to have Captain Lighting on it.

  ..You Bet SGT. Come on Back.. we can use  your  measurements  from  your other armor?..But  we have to get the joints right, or you'll like like that  shiny guy from the  wizard of ozzy...

Zob nodded and followed the tech into the back  to get measured when she talked about shiny man from wizard of Izzy, "The hells is wizard of ozzy?" He asked clearly not understanding what she was talking about.

  The    woman  made him  flex  his   arms   wrists and shoulders  as she scanned the movements, then did the same with  ankles  and knees.

  ..not sure myself... sometimes..if you  look on the Vids.. you'll come across it.. there is some  girl... and  a fat looking Felrite?.. and  something that looks like a fuzzy Nivarian and a shiney guy..metal?..maybe  early earth version of a Verian?.. and  some little girl and  a tiny Dog... never watched  it... maybe  those  people have to over throw this guy to save thier  worlds?...

  well, SGT.. it should be ready  sometime tomorrow... so you'll be set to jump off.

Zob listened to her explanation about this wizard of ozzy thing, "When I get back home I'll check it out if I can find it" he then stood up when she said they were done, "Sounds good thanks again" with that he made his way over to the tech labs to see how his new toy was turning out.

----> To tech labs

-------->>>>> From Hanger Dec

 Meari walked up to the QM door and then said," Hello Sgt. Meari to pick up the rest of my uniforms and to see if my Kukri blades are in yet as well."

  The  QM  Clerk    rang up the back and punched the number into  screens  for   Meari's Order to be  brought out to the front.

  ..Think we  got everything

 shortly  the    items were brought out  for   Meari.

 Meari smiled at the QM clerk, she nodded and when her stuff was brought out, she said," Thank you very much." Meari will make sure her uniforms are there and then check out the blades and their sheaths. Satisfied everything looks good Meari nods and says," Thank you again, if I need anything else I will be back." Meari nodded and headed to her Quarters to put everything away and to test out her new blades.

----------->>>>>>>>>> To NCO Quarters.

Arriving she asked if the other Gava had arrived yet.  Also she asked about the armor...was it still the piece meal or sent from the Gava ship.

  The clerk invited the  Gava  Back.

 there were  small   'light boarding  armor'  that were made   for  'smaller Occui' that the Occui were sending out to any ships   that had  Gava.. trying to help  keep the little  guys alive.
 the  enviro suits   were   sized from   6-7 years ould  to  maybe  14-15..  they were to   try them and  and  get a feel for the   light  armor.

Jug and the others tried the suits on.  Atleast they fir, and it didn't look cobbled up.  More professional.  Jug moved and tested it's durability.  It seemed sound and she nodded approval.  Then she began to overlap and strap on her gear, both blades and guns.  The other gava did so as well.
Once satisfied they would sign them out and report to the hangar.

---Calamite--->

Back from her adventures Hawkeye, had checked in with her packages. Both the grain and the various botannicals had been delivered, and she'd put them away. She'd managed to find a juniper style berry that was safe for consumption and infusions, as well as several Calamite specific spices she thought would infuse well into a gin. Now she was looking for the parts to make a hybrid tower still that'd allow her to make the more flavorful whiskeys as well as the more neutral grain alcohol spirit used for infused liquors.

Taking a list of parts and components out she showed it to the QM clerk at the desk, any chance you can get me any or all of these? They're for personal use so I don't mind covering the costs if necessary." She explains, hoping to get everything, but fully aware some of the finer parts for the distillation tower she might have to have the foundry manufacture for her.

 The Clerk looked at the  list, She  nodded slowly, and looked at Cat, then  back down rubbing her   chin..

 ..we have swapped out  tublign from  mechs and  Heavy Boarding  armor.. you can but those..10 cred a foot  for the copper?..but..um..if The QM  would manage to get a bottle or two of the..hobby? we can do 5 creds a foot?

Hawkeye considers it for a momnet, "Well I'm not sure how much we'll make at first until we get it tuned and rigged right, but I'm sure I could swing a bottle or two once it's set up, and actually running. How much of that tubing is copper?" She asks.

As far as the pot and collection container were concerned, she'd likely need the foundry to make a suitably large enough pot, or talk to the kitchens they like as not had access to metal containers of the right size. The tubing would serve the purpose of building a strict pot still that they could distill alcohol for whiskey, and other spirits where the flavors of the grain were more important, than say for infusions.

  ..Most of the tubing is  Copper, we do have aluminum  and  Angel steel..but the Angel Steel ..well... that's up there, of  course.

 she   looked at the list you might be able to use  some of the  O2 canisters?..I dunno?  what do you think?
