Kaarle was visibly pissed off at Silas nonsense.  More so then that he was embarassed over the situation and how it unfolded in front of the Commander.  Needless to say he was please to see the quick response from Rockantansky.

When the meeting had concluded and he had been dismissed he found himself in a position he was not thrilled with.  How in the hell to deal with his newest member.  Violence was off the table since that didn't go over well that last time.  Clearly corporal punishment didn't seem to work either.

There wasn't much he could do except push him out the nearest airlock and see how long he could his breath.

As pondered this dilemma he watched the encounter between Michelle and the Commander somewhat jealous that they hadn't much time for each other recently.

  Ltcmdr. Fell was about to say something to Silas when she notice the Commander enter the hanger and kick his chair out from under him. She clapped when Korvan finally got his promotion to second Lieutenant.

  When the Commander dismiss the Three units and pulled Kaarle and Michelle for a quick word, she called Cerise over. "Lieutenant Cerise, I have sent mission directive to you. So you can study them before lift off. have any questions feel free to ask. Your shuttle will be giving a hundred and twenty missile and sixty mini missile for mecha reloads. Kariza will handle will get an inventory to hand to Lt. Thakun and yourself shortly."

  She takes a moment to glance over to the commader and Kaarle. "It will be a long mission. Take care out there and get your people home safe."

As soon as Silas made his outburst, followed by the singing, Cerise began searching her memories to see if she could remember any notable instances of similar behavior amongst Tirolians, considering Silas' possible state of mind given the situation.

Cerise salutes; "Thank you ma'am. And I must apologize for the behavior of the Lieutenant. I will leave the disciplinary decisions to Lt. Cherkovski for now, since he is the direct CO, but I will be having a talk with Lt Nightshade myself. If possible it may be beneficial to be able to see his detailed prior record, to determine if this acting out is something new, or if he exhibited such behavior prior to assignment to Wraith."


Not sure if she has enough information yet to figure out WTH is wrong with Silas, but both were successful. :)

OOC: 12:15, Today: Cerise rolled 21 using 1d100 with rolls of 21.  Psychology (65%).

12:13, Today: Cerise rolled 19 using 1d100 with rolls of 19.  History: Tirolian Empire (60%).

Kaarle nodded to Ltcmdr. Fell as he stepped over to Silas.  "I will do my best to ensure all of them make it back in one piece" he said to her before looking down and helping the Lieutenant off the floor forcefully before adding... "more or less" he concluded.

Silas was bound and determined to eat up all his spare time it seemed and he still wasn't sure how to handle this.

Skyrah remained emotionless at Silas behavior on entering the meeting, without permission, and his actions there in. Still inwardly she frowned, not wanting to show her true disgust at what was being displayed.

She to would offer a clap when Korvan promotion was announced, and then gave a gentle sigh. She'd have to make a choice soon, who would be her new XO. She really only had two choices, as the third option in her mind already demonstrated an inability to listen, in her mind. The second option was 'broken' and needed her protection. So really, the only option left was the first option. She'd have to see him in action though, to wage final judgement.

The Commander dismissing them finally broke her from her reverie as she looked up. She would stand up, picking up her satchel and quickly walk out of the tent, stepping to one side and wait for Korvan to exit.

Mirage will stand up, next to Kaarle and intercede.  "Sir, as your exec I can handle non judicial punishment if needed while you attend to strategy.  I need to be of some use to you."

   Silla claps for the Newest officer when he is given the honors. but otherwise remains silent during the briefing, knowing she would get her briefing with the rest of Banshee.

  When she is dismissed she grabs Xaviers hand and give it a squeeze. "Come on Sargent we need to get ready for take off." She says giving him a sexy smile as she gets up.

  She looks at Thirteen, "Come on Sarge, lets get going. we need to get ready for the next mission."

  With that she makes her way to the shuttle after re-suiting up. Once in shuttle she secures the power armor and weapons.

  After chatting with the commander she stands to the side waiting for Kaarle, Mirage and Silas to finish. Once Kaarle is free she walks up to him and slides her hand into his. "I'll escort you back to the Vulture to keep you safe Sir." She says in a seductive manner.

Xavier walks into the briefing room finds and sits next to Silla. Listens intently to all that goes on, gives a clap or two when korvan is promoted, gives a barely heard giggle when Silas was kicked out of his chair.

With pleasure my kitten he says to her after the briefing. And walks out with Silla.

In reply to Xavier (msg # 25):

Kaarle turns to Delta as she approaches.  She did have a point after all as his new exo.

"yes Delta please see to this if you would." he said to her appreciating the assistance in the master.

Turning once more to Silas be shakes his head before being led off by Michelle back to the vulture.

Mirage salutes Kaarle smartly and steps away to use her tablet for communication.

Thirteen echos the claps of others as he silently. Listens to the meeting. When Sillia mentions that it is time to go he nods and follows them to get ready.

Mirage looks away from the tablet and shrugs, moving over to where Silas Nightshade is tipping around in his chair.

"Lieutenant Nightshade.  Attention to orders."

She waits a moment or two for his attention, hopefully at the position of attention, but she won't wait on dawdling.

"In lieu of official NJP you are being assigned punishment duty to keep constant inventory, readiness and security upon the missile munitions aboard.  You will gather your gear, 3 days rations of MREs and report directly to that station until relieved.  Leaving your post for anything will be considered disobedience of the First General Order, and will bring at least NJP in form of Captain's Mast.  As always, you are welcome to a trial instead."

She takes a moment.

"NOW Lieutenant!"

  Some reference material:
NJP - Non Judicial Punishment, it means your superior writes it up and hands it out, does not have to go on your permanent record.
Captain's Mast - Highest form of Naval NJP
First General Order - I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.
Trial - Her reference to Trial is better known as a Court Martial, it is always an option, and a very stupid career ending one if all you were getting is a slap on the hand NJP.

  Michelle Takes Kaarle's hand as she walks with him to the shuttle. She pauses to look at the mass supplies being loaded onto their home for the mission. She side steps closer before saying;  Once she gets Kaarle to the Shuttle she makes her way back to hre Alpha and Beta going through her      per-flight and weapons load out. She makes a note that the beta had been switch out with a combat unit. flipping the switch for her radio;

  The shuttle is finally loaded as your teams board, the munitions officer hands Kariza a data pad with the missiles and supplies to turn in to Vulture command. She smiles thanks hims before double checking the data and signing for it. Once that task was finished she sends the missile load-out to Cerise and Miriana before beginning to double checking to mecha's strapped down in the cargo pods with Matt's help. Onces they feel everything is secured she calls to the Bridge. "Specialist Yasan to bridge, We are secured here and ready for dust off."

  As Xavier, Thirteen and Sillia board the shuttle a over excited Aravae runs up and gives Thirteen a hug. "Hey, I get to go with you guys!" she cowers behind Thirteen as she realizes Sillia's unpleasant expression.

  Cerise takes her place on the bridge with the remaining crew members. Once all the per-flight checks are done they are given clearance from command to take off.

 Miriana goes through her pre-flight engineering check with Kariza who keeps her enthusiastic energy in check just enough to prevent the young officer from getting angry.

  The rest of the team members are given the orders to strap themselves in and get ready for flight.
  Aravae stays away from Sillia as best she can trying to avoid the yelling her older sister is sending her way.

  The Vulture lifts off and makes it way to designated coordinates to commence fold operations. Batgirl escorts the Vulture to the fold coordinates before she docks her Alpha beta units to the Vultures underside.

  the first week is boring for everyone. The Vulture defolds and begins systems check before folding for the second time. the next seventy two hours has everyone double checking everything, missile loads and E-clips. CVR armor and mecha. And when the Vulture defolded for the second time behind a moon the crew jumps into action.


these are the spare missile for the mission.
 Stored Missile:
 60 Short Range Plasma
 30 Short Range High Explosive
 30 Short Range Armor Piercing

 20 Plasma Mini-Missile
 20 Fragmentation Mini-Missiles
 10 high explosive Mini-Missiles
 10 Smoke Mini-Missiles


  Note: The Beta is not a troop transport, its a combat shadow version.

  Sillia was joking and having fun after the meeting, But once she is aboard the Vulture and finds her little sister hugging Thirteen, her attitude changes instantly.

  Glaring at Aravae; "What are you doing here? your suppose to be on the Gambit!" the response of the Commander giving her clearance to be on the mission did not make her lighten up. "You get your stuff right now young-ling! your not going to be on this mission or any other mission!"


   She storms off to the bridge with Aravae's refusing while staying safely on the opposite side of Thirteen using him as a shield from Sillia's Rage. Once on the Bridge her anger is quick and loud "CERISE, WHY IS ARAVAE ON THIS SHIP!" Nothing said makes her happy and it is apparent she is not satisfied with any of the out comes. but not wanting to be removed from the mission she settles on making sure her sister is safe.

  She continues berating Aravae for sneaking her way on the ship so she could be with Thirteen. She spends the time watching over her sister but not really engaging her after the first couple days.

Cerise, in her usual serene, "psychologist" voice, replies to Sillia as best she can; "My apologies, Sillia. I had wrongly assumed that the Commander had discussed it with you prior to approving her presence on this mission. Unfortunately it is entirely out of my hands, as the orders to bring her along came from up the chain of command. If you like I can request an open channel with the Commander so you can speak to him, however, as you know I can make no guarantees that he will answer."

With Silia still in a rage over the perceived usurpation of her guardian authority, Cerise continues about her bridge duties, requesting the channel, if Sillia wants to try it.

  With the radio channel open Sillia is told if she cannot handle the situation she would be removed from the mission. She is reminded she is a solder and she had orders.

Thirteen is taken aback when he sees Avarae show up. He hugs her back, honestly glad to see her, but he was surprised to see her there. He would get in contact with Xavier privately.

"Please talk to Sillia about this." He would tell him. "I think there might be something more to this but we cannot discuss it until she calms down."

For his part he would stay close to Avarae and help her as much as he can in his usual socially awkward self. He knew that Sillia's anger would be tough on her.

In reply to Thirteen (msg # 35):

Kaarle follows Michelle his head still spinning from the debriefing.  He smiled as she pull him to the side to look at the supplies before responding.


As they continue he gets back to the shuttle and everything stored away he straps in with the rest of the crew for take off.  As time passes during their trip Kaarle finds himself once again checking the equipment on his delta, going over his supplies and memorizing the details of the mission.

  Michelle kept her eyes out and took her position to the right of Vulture tail. Once they reach the designated coordinates she eases Robin under Vultures belly before opening her radios; "Batgirl to Vulture, ready to dock on your mark." Once she is given the alls clear she guides her mecha to the docking clamps and awaits hard seal before opening her cockpit. Once she is free to she exits the alpha's cockpit and makes her way into the shuttle. She finds Kaarle and Salutes; "Batgirl request permission to come aboard sir." She gives a smile and once granted permission she removes her CVR armor and begins doing whatever task is assigned to her.

  During her sleep rotation she slips in to Kaales bunks and cuddles into him. during the days she sets to work on the task at hand.  She enjoyed meal breaks with the others the most, when everyone was together. She invited Aravae and practice their belly dancing together in the cargo pods when they had nothing better to do.  With an open invitation to anyone else who would like to participate. Also practicing her martial arts forms when time allows, she goes through a daily rigorous training routine.

  She would try and find some time to sit and chat with Kaarle whenever they could. Even if only to drink something while chatting about nothing.

In reply to Gargoyle (msg # 31):

The first day, when Skyrah see's the note she manages to smile brightly. Sitting in her cockpit for a long long moment looking at it, and admiring it for several long moments before finally placing it away in her satchel with the other note Nick had left her. The she did something rare for her, she displayed emotion. Sure, she has before, but it's so rare for her. This time though, she showed everyone how she truly displayed her emotions as she pulled her glass flute from it's case, and began to play it. This time though the melody was different, it was not one of sadness like she had played in the past, but a melody that sounded more hopeful, more upbeat. She didn't care if everyone could hear her, she knew on this shuttle that they'd figure out who it was playing anyway. She seemed to want them all to know, something had her spirits up for once, and she was willing to share in the best way she knew how.

After a couple days she will eventually seek out Korvan. "Are you free?" She asked him, in her usual tone.

In reply to Michelle Grey (msg # 37):

Kaarle couldn't sleep at all those first few nights.  His worry over the team and the new mission had gotten the better of him.  He knew deep down it was most likely another trap and even if it wasn't the ominous warning to get everyone back alive was loud and clear.  Command wouldn't say it but we'd  become the expendables.  They couldn't just disband the unit and admit failure but they weren't about to make it easy on us either.  Ever since the incident with Michelle he knew they were all on borrowed time...

Restless he got up from his bunk trying to be careful not to wake the others and made his way to the hangars.

Cerise would spend most of her time on the bridge, manning her station. When the bridge was otherwise empty, she'd take the opportunity to turn all the lights to max and turn on her 'feeding' light.

Much of the time she would be practicing her Tirolian and Zentraedi; she may need them to communicate will with the people she'd be trying to make contact with. She also read up on her Invid and Masters history, just so she could be as prepared as possible for whatever she may encounter.

Michelle watches Kaarle ease his way out of his bunk before smiling and whispers;  She eases her way out and follows him on her tip toes trying to be stealthy as she follows to see what he might be up to.
