In reply to bo (msg # 8):

   Bo pulls a radios out of he gear he brought for the betty and turns it on, then settles down to examine and clean her rotary canons, and examine her munitions.

  Bo goes through his ship's supplies:

 seal on decals to make Betty look like a actual demon ship,

 different racks for four external wing hard points for different missile systems.

 fuel air bomb rack for the ventral hard point

 rotary rack for internal missile bay [aft bay was removed in favor of an added Ion booster]

 There were other bells and whistles but most were civilian  related and would be kept back at Missy's shop.

 Settled in he heads upstairs to the flight deck to take a look around.

============> hangar deck

In reply to Bo-Jagger (msg # 10):

Bo returns, gives Betty the walk around and climbs into the cockpit. "Hermes control, this is the Black Betty, request departure for one last load, and a brief meet and greet."

  Lilly here.... The Dec Boss will let you out.

 A few moments Later the Dec Boss   stands at the  Hanger Bay to await Bo's  leaving.

In reply to B0 (msg # 12):

   Bo waves to him "Thanks.  I'll com you when I'm returning."  He eases through the static field and flies into the lowers.

In reply to Bo-Jagger (msg # 13):

Bo does a quick walk around On the Betty before climbing in and Heading through the static field. "Our first flight for this ship baby,"  He says out loud, "Let's show them we're worth it."

Hangar deck=========>

  Bo comes huffing and puffing down the ramp.  He climbs into the Betty with the practice of someone who trained not to get caught flat footed outside his craft.

  He cycles on his system as either the bay doors don't open and he get's balled out for being a reckless Idiot.

  ....or, the bay doors DO open and he still gets balled out as a reckless Idiot.

  "Another day of proving our worth Baby, Let's get this done."

   Morris has Bo's simulator read outs.  He knows bo doesn't need the door all the way open to leave, and then he can close them again.  Besides, If I recall correctly, the Hold doors are portside for loading while the hangar doors are starboard so ships can land while the Hermes is in dock.  The hold will be facing away from the enemy ships.

 The men in the Hold just shrug and hold up their hands. a Chief  walks over,Sorry Buddy.... Orders are..doors  closed  Until after the Blast...we couldn't  open them if one of the gods  themselves  banged on  them to deliver a pizza.

  Bo checks to see he's got his overnight bag in the cockpit and waits impatiently drumming his hands on the transparent touch-control panel.

  Just after the blast is past he brings his hands up. "Now?"

    The crewman were on the COMs  as Bo waited,..alright, Mr Bo? the fighters and such  have started to land...we can open the doors..but...do you have a flight plan Listed with the Captain?

In reply to hold (msg # 18):

    "Alright, if it's important."  On the com "Captain Morris, I'm going to go check on Shadow and the mech.  I'll contact you if anything comes up or for permission to proceed to another destination."

  Morris   gets on the COM,....Alright , Mr  Jagger... Please Cross under the Hermes for at least 20 miles or so , before vectoring in on them, we still have fighters  Milling around out there.

 The  Hold  Crew  open the    doors.. one crewman waits   a minute or so until Bo's craft lights up as a friendly, after Morris tapped in the release.

 Alright Mr Bo..all set...

Bo slips out of the hanger and opens his throttle.  He follows orders at full military thrust and angles in on Kray and Stoly-1
  =====> Space

   Garrat leads her down a long smooth ramp into the main cargo hold of the Hermes.  There amongst piles and crates was a beat of Angel multi track.  A cargo vehicle that runs on six robotic legs with catapillar treads at the end of them.  This one looks to have been damaged in battle but the repair process has been started.

    Garrat picks up a hydrospanner and gets to work.  "I'll take a couple of turns while the others show up.  You gotta see the suspension system on this thing.  It's crazy."

Naomi's eyes get big as she can't help herself getting excited at what she is seeing which impulsively makes her jump up and hug Garrat. After the moment she went to take a closer look mumbling the mechanics of the new machine to herself as she noted the improvements needed as well as the work she saw that was being done to it.
 She ended up hopping up onto the machine looking at the interior as well as the gauges trying to absorb everything she could of it till she remembers what Garrat mentioned, "Show me! I can't get enough of this schöne Maschine ((beautiful machine)). Where did you say you found it?" She says as she runs her hands down the sides a little too intimately making her bite her lower lip in an attempt to contain herself.

   Garrat accepts the hug with a gentle grin even lifting Naomi off her feet but sets her down quickly because he knows she is anxious to get a good walk-around of the machine.
   "It's the work horse of the Angel military.  They use this and a really big one to run troops and equipment as well ass armored cargo and weapons carrier, like a tank.  I've watched them driven rather carefully.  It takes a lot of skill and practice with each leg having it's own set of controls.  I'd like to automate it a little so humans can drive it without special training."
   Garrat crawls under the bart where he's been disassembling the damaged parts and starts unbolting a damaged cervo. "When we liberated the moons I dropped by an angel motor pool with Ajax and we got to talk to some mechanics.  At a call Rivets dropped by and we tossed some Ideas back and forth with the guys in the shop, then Rivets made an unofficial trade for this guy and one of his bigger cousins,[ both of them busted to hell] as well as the parts to fix them.  He also suggested armoring the legs and suspension here." Garrat points "Against EMP.  I think   I'm getting used to your tools but I still need to rig a translation program so I can work with written instructions for this sort of thing and start transferring some Asgard tech into plans you guys can under stand."

    "Oh that reminds me," Garrat sits up quickly [and bangs his head BOONNNG] "OUCH, heh I was going to call in a med tech to run an Idea past them." He rubs his forehead "Apparently I've got a couple of reasons to bring them in now."
    He gets on the com "Hawkeye, Melia, what are you Ladies up too?"

Melia, responds: "Over at the QM Locker trying to get some of the weapons tech I grabbed assessed for use-ability. I have some otherstuff as well I need to have the Techs look at."

Catrina responds: "Currently sitting pretty while the boys try and recover Morgan and his Mech, I'll let you know when we get onboard."

   With a roar of retro thrusters The Black Betty comes in a little hot but hovers into her berth and settles into place.

Naomi watches along with listening to Garrat talk as she can't help herself feeling like she is on cloud nine. Nothing makes her heart soar more then machinery of any type and this one in particular had many stories to tell. Her smile broadens as she hears the mention of adding Asgard items to the vehicle which of course intrigues her more.



Naomi sucks air through her teeth immediately touching her own forehead knowing she has done that herself a few times while being around vehicles and machinery. She has a concerned look on her face as she looks at Garrat when he mentions needing medical officers.

She watches him COM them making motions that she was going to ask him questions, but then soon immediately rejected the idea. She wasn't sure how she was going to ask nor if the time was appropriate. She decided to go back to examine some areas she missed looking more thoroughly at the machine's inner workings getting herself accustomed to it's operational orders.

   Garrat chuckles at the look of concern and emotions that chase across Naomi's face.  "No worries, I'm pretty tough, heck, even my tattoos are made out of metal."

   He coms out, and continues to work on the multi track.  Then Bo comes in and he nearly bangs his head again, "What the...oh, so they did bring that ship on board."

   Garrat gets up and walks over to the black betty.  "Hey Bo, you didn't tell me they let you bring your girlfriend on board."

In reply to Garrat Wolfrim (msg # 29):

    Bo had the cockpit open and was reviewing a checklist before jumping out, "What? Oh, yeah. They were great to me letting me stash Betty in here."  He jumps down, and runs his hand over the nose art.  "I think Shadow pulled some strings to get her on board after I helped hi little raid on Fuji.  What brings you to the hold?"

Accepting Garrat's invite Catrina, heads down to the hold to see what's up before she gets ready for leave again.

On Garrat's invite, Slick goes to the hold  to meet him. "What's going on big man.....what the 9hells is that!?!? Holy cow man, where did you get this!?!?!

Callen wandered around in the Hold until he saw the beast of a machine. He examineditt, walking in circles around it. Then he saw the group of people standing near.
This is an awesome fighter...Is this a party?
