The SGT  looked    around in the first room, then Looked at the COM that was now   off on the floor.

 following    in the other Room, the women were being checked   by Med Techs and Given Wraps to  put on.

 ..The shoulder patches on the Troopers  who still have   shirts on, say there are from The Eastman.... we will take them  to FUJI SEC and have  Col  Cummings  Informed.. I don't  give them  2  creds  for thier lives  right now...


 she  steps inside,..if they can walk, take them to Med Tech Lowers, near HQ... Ladies?... we'll be comign over to ask you some questions.. we'll need the truth.., so this   kinda  thing doesn't happen again.

  a few Moments  went by and the LAdies  were  helped out towards the stairs ... The SGT  and  the   fellow who was on the COMs  were put  in Black bags  and Hauled out.....a third who was shot  By Zob  went on a hover cart with   an IV  Pump .. the rest.. were Herded  out  By the troopers.

  we might have to give you a COM  for a statement, Unless you want to come with us now? I know shore leave i is melting away..

  Abby   looked at her  hair.....could you  Just give a bot of a trim?... and them  green streaks  so it looks  like this,,, with ut the heads?

 she used her  COM  to show a Pic of her Helmet.

 the woman  chuckled,shouldn't be a problem... well see if   we  can get you loking snakey...with otu the heads...

 Gia  raised an eyebrow.....you want your  hair... to look like your Helmet....

Abby shrugged....

In reply to Zob (msg # 960):

Zob watched as the troopers got hauled away before turning to the Sgt, "Yeah Col Cummings is not gonna be kind to them... as for that statement yeah ill follow behind you guys on my hover bike my shore leave was pretty much over anyways... but first can you folks plast up this pulse round quick?"

  The SGT  nods, as she gets on her COM,..have one  of the Med Techs  stay behind and  rid in with us , we need to  Patch up the Hermes SGT.

 They started  to  head  down the  hall to the Steps....this isn't for your  statement... but how did you  know this was going on?

Zob walked with them he took another drag off the cigar, "One of the Hermes women who were assaulted by the deceased SGT told us this morning about this incident and our friends did some digging and we were able to uncover this kidnapping ring... we had no idea the extent however of the involvement until just now" Zob kept the details vague not wanting to give out names.

 The Med Tech Van Pulled  away witht eh Ladies in  it.. a FUJI sec  Van  took the    captured Troopers  in and  lifted off..  The  Med tech   worked on  Zob's shoulder   and   gave him a PAt on the Back...Best I can  do  for you, with  what i got... the Med tech is right across the street from  HQ.. if you want  some  Demon  foam pout in there...or?..get back  to your ship...

 The FUJI SEC SGT   said, If You're   sure  you can ride.. Follow me in..if not..Hope in the back  with the Med Tech.

Zob shook his head at the med tech, "Was just a flesh wound but i rather have it patched up so it don't get infected" he then thanked the med tech for the patch up job then made his way over to his expensive hover bike and fired it up, "Ill be right behind you folks" he then slipped on his glasses and found a nice tune to ride to as he got into place behind the sec van.

  Shadow reached the van, and threw  the  man into it.

  We should  wait to see  in case Roy or Melia  break a hand on thier  faces.. after that, we will leave here...

Roy had been waiting for the swing...rather than try and block it or counterpunch, his hand lashed out, seizing the guy by the wrist and stepping into him, giving the man's arm a half-twist to the inside.  As he held the wrist with one hand, his other arm chopped down, hitting the forearm with a hammer-fisted blow just above where he was holding, with enough force to snap both bones in the arm.  He continued pulling the arm up behind the man as he stepped on through, then threw his body-weight against the man's back, driving him face-first into the wall of the hallway.

He stomped down on an extended leg...aiming not for the knee, but again for the center of the bone length in the man's lower leg.  Bones were strong...but they were never engineered to hold that kind of weight hitting them with a shearing force.

Still holding the now-broken arm twisted, so the trauma of the break was increased and any move the man made had broken ends of bones grating together, Roy put a hand on the back of the man's neck, pressing his head against the wall.  "I am the Sergeant Major of the Corps, you sad sack of shit.  You are the tarnish that I'm here to polish, and your death is going to be brutal.  I knew a thousand ways to kill a man before you were old enough to pick up your own spoon and stick it in that gaping slash you call a mouth, and I've learned more since then.  You are going to be the cautionary tale that Marines tell each other whenever someone suggests making a fuck-up move like this...it's the only thing you're any good for."  His voice was a sibilant hiss in the man's ear...the sound of death coming to claim him.

While the rest was swift, it was far from merciful.  The medics would find the corpse with limbs bent in directions the human body was never meant to bend, most of the large bones in the body were broken, some were compound fractures, and forensics would indicate the man was likely alive for most of it, if not all...although there was no knowing if he'd been conscious.  It was the internal bleeding that killed him, though...severe repeated trauma, most likely from a boot, to the torso, that ruptured multiple internal organs.

It was a death that would keep even hardened Marines talking for a long time to come...

Henry was quite happy to mingle and to talk to the other animal handlers. It was interesting how many of the scientists had - like him - chosen to take the chips themselves rather than monitor someone else.

Sitting in one of the decidedly comfortable chairs Harry would nervously look up at the reflection of the young brunette currently standing behind her ”and what can I do for you today?” she asked, lightly brushing Harry’s hair with her finger tips as she ran an appraising look over her ”I...um...thought maybe a trim and something with my nails and a massage?...or...um...something” she said in way of suggestion, not really sure what she should be asking for, though to her credit the brunette seemed to understand what she asking for ”was there any particular hair style you had in mind?”
”um...yeah...I’d like it short, nothing too girly but I don’t want to look like a guy either...oh and not a pixie cut” she said, fully realising that her request was about as clear as mud and that there was no telling what she would end up with well I suppose I could always go back to being a skin head until grows out again she consoled herself though god knows what Will would make of that!

Pursing her lips the brunette would play with Harry’s hair for a little while before finally seeming to reach a decision ”yes, I think I know exactly what you’re going for” she said before turning to address the rest of the girls in the room ”tell me ladies, is your friend always this nervous? Or am I just really scary?” she asked as Harry’s cheeks flushed a pale shade of pink.

  Gia  giggles,..she  is only Nervous..... she   ticks off on her  fingers,..wearing  Dresses.... trying to wear heels...looking  at Dresses..or..around   Nice  lookig women...oh?.. and Largs.....

 ..Bleedin'   'ells Sis.... how'dja go to the  Acadmey then..'eh? Abby      chuckled.

  Med Techs     Landed out side the Crossed Comets.  they went to  run  in and  Shadow  gave a sharp whistle, to make the  stop.

 ..Don't Go in there  Until    we tell you?


 The MAn and the  woman in FUJI MED uniforms stopped  with thier   Med Tech Cases...he's right...  take  care of these  girls  first..and?  Call a Meat wagon..

 The Female  looked in....there's a naked  Guy in  there..and   three woman who are only wearing Blankets?


 Stefi Nodded,I gave the   ladies first respond  aid.... The  man...can wait..

 The   Male   Med Tech went in and    brought the  man out,um?.. this man's nose appears  to be broken...

 ..It better  be..i broke a pair of sunglasses and  cut my own nose  doing that...

  The    Marine  said ,..I don't know  why i had to come out here.. I saw everything the Have alre...

  Shadows     right   air   lashed  Out slamming  the Guy's   head against the  open door of the Van..  and the Man slide  down to the pavement.

 ..are you Crazy !  That Man is  injured!

 ..yep.....

 The Med Tech   knelt  down and  Looked  at the Dazed  Marine.

 ..go work   with the ladies...I'm sure you'll figure things  out, once you talk to them

  alright?... But  I'll have to put this in my report...

 ..You do that.....now go...

.........................

 Inside The  Broken  Broken   body twitched, now  and again..Blood  was pooling  in the  hall.

 Inside the room..Melia  and her dance  partner  were  almost done.

With his example finished, Roy waited calmly outside the room.  He'd seen Melia in action, so he was pretty sure she had the situation well in hand...but he was the failure.  If she wasn't the one that came out the door, the hallway would get a little more gruesome...

With Gia helpfully answering the young woman's question, Harry's cheeks would grow several shades brighter "Hey that Larg is bigger than I am, being afraid of it is kind of to be expected!" she retorted indignantly as the brunette set to work on her hair "...as for the other things...I...um...have my reasons" she said letting the end of the conversation trail away with it clear that she didn't really want to get into why she was so uncomfortable around women's fashion...or at least not in public anyway.

On the subject of how she'd coped with the academy, Harry would simply shrug her shoulders before replying in a matter of fact tone of voice "Mostly I stayed in my room and studied, or hid in the SIM's, that and I started a rumour that I was a lesbian so that kept all the guys off my back...I didn't join the ESN out of any sense of patriotism or anything like that, I just needed to get the hell off planet and the navy was the quickest way of doing it so passing all of my exams was far more important than making friends was" Did she regret not getting more involved in the social side? Not really...she wasn't into formal dances and she'd done more than her fair share of partying prior to joining so there was no loss there either "So what about you two? I'm pretty sure I know why Abby here signed up, what made you want to join the ESN?" she asked, directing the question towards Nikki and Gia as the brunette continued to work on her hair.

  Gia   made  a  smile,..I was  in the Bedroom of   an ESN offcier   in Venice?.. I was almost 18.. his wife?  She   come   breaking  through the door.. The Offcier  Toosess  his  tunic over  me, and throws  me out teh windwo to land in the  cold  water.....

I go and wear my own tunic... so.. I sign Up   in Sicly Academy......then..I am  shipped to Etna... and now.. I am here.. still..i have my own tunic.

In reply to Crossed  Comets (msg # 956):

Melia didn't bother waiting for the rapist to come at her, she'd already identified he bounced too much when he moved. She waited until he started to rise, both his feet wrapped in one of the blankets on the floor before she shifted forward smoothly executing a smooth and brutal forward snap kick feint aimed at the jaw. That never arrived as she anticipated his grab, and lashed out with the angel steel knife aiming to slash the back of his arm as his other hand connected with her clenched jaw in an off balance under powered punch. As she slide behind  the marine she kicked behind his knee driving him down to the ground wrapping his feet up further in the blanket. She scrambled up his back wrapping an arm around his neck squeezing until he'd passed out.  She grabs the loose ends of rope off the floor rapidly tying the rapists arms to the feet of the bed, his legs to assorted furniture leaving him secured spread eagle on the floor.

Once tied she grabs a wet towel and slaps him awake with it before she sets to work, cutting any remaining clothing he had on off using her trauma shears, then she does as promised with him awake an no anesthesia she uses her trauma shears (which are not meant to cut flesh) to remove the mans genitals slapping him awake with the towel everytime he passes out. The ordeal lasts minutes, the chances of him dying at this point are still low.

Once complete she wakes him one more time forcing his jaw open and shoving his own bits into his throat making him choke on it. She whispers in his ear, "All your victims send their regards you sick fuck." before gagging him using a spare piece of bed sheet she cuts with the shears. Checking the clock she sees only minutes left and sets to her final work flaying his body starting at his feet all the way to he head with hundreds of quick deep slashes. Blood pools the floor as she watches his eyes struggle and look about frantically for escape, his arms and legs thrash against his bindings his screams muffled by the gag. She finally finishes by simply slicing the mans inner thighs deeply hitting his femoral artery. She cleans her blade on the bed, not realizing that she was covered in blood.  As she left the she spit on the corpse and eyed Roy's handy work. "Looks painful, mine got a bit what he'd been dishing out. Looks like you had a good time." She says with a maniacal look on her face.

   Shadow waited his  one  hand drumming on the  hood of the  sprotscar.so.. YOu  Med Tech   can go into the Lobby..wait  until you see  some folks come down the stairs . you may  take  your black bags  in..

  Stefi packed up her  Med Tech Gear   and   sat on  the hood of the car.

ooc: sorry ISP ate my post then quit on me.

Nikki waved at Harry and Abby as a way to welcome them.  "I was thinking Harry might look good in a hedge hog spikey look.  use a bit a gel and maybe some hot pink temp color at the tips" she shrugged when Harry spoke of what style she wanted, but left the decision to her since it was her hair.  Haley was oblivious as the ladies handed her a picture book or two.  While styles were being done those wanting pedicures found a few ladies soaking their feet in warm water with scented oils like lavender and chamomile.  "Well....as for joining up it was kind of a no brainer in my family.  since ...well the American revolution, I think maybe even before that,  someone in each generation has been in military service for my family.  Some times it was several.  So now its this generations.  My brother Marshall served, I'm serving, and who knows who else.  My papaw served as did his brother.  You get the idea, just rather ingrained." she squished her toes in the water "However...I have done something no one else in my family's military history has done.  I was recommended for and passed OCS, I get the honor of being the first officer in the bunch"
Another lady came and offered bottles of juices and flavored waters for the ladies and a few other customers as well.  Haley shyly took a grape juice as Nikki took one that was labelled tangerine/rose water.  She sipped it first and made an expression of it being rather pleasant.  "For those in the jet tub, there will be small noshes and more water" the Asian looking lady said as she offered drinks to the other ladies.

Roy grimaced.  "I wouldn't call it a good time...but it will get the point across."  He didn't bother looking into the room.  Seeing the blood on Melia gave him a pretty good indication of what he'd see if he did.

"You couldn't have kept yourself a little more tidy?" he asked, slightly annoyed.  "I think the idea was to NOT advertise who it was that had taken care of these losers, and it's going to be a little difficult to keep it any sort of mystery with you looking like you rolled in his blood after you killed him..."

He shrugged.  "No time to worry about that now, I guess...med techs should be downstairs by now.  Maybe we can ease around the back and miss them on their way up..."

  The Ned Techs  were waiting.. they saw   Roy and  Melia..even moving to Melia to see if she needed  attention.

 Once they were    waved off, the Med Techs  hurried upstairs.

 Shadow  saw  them Coming,  Stefi waved the Van  , with the  women  in away.. with the man forced to Lie face  down  in the back..Shadow settled to  drive, Stefi  hopped into the  back as they waited   for  Roy  and Melia

 ..we go back, and then we are done... hit the beach.. I have  about  4 hours  to get back, because i have to go overr the lists  again with Capt Morris.

  As he talked shop with  a few  the Handlers, alot of them sharing pics  from thier COMs  of   things  thier  partners  did  in training or  just funny  pics.

 The  woman  with the   feathered  serpent  smiled  at Henry and waited for  'her'  chance to  talk to the Warrior Prof.

  Dr  Christie.. I am Specalist  Nina Santos.. this   snippy little  fellow  is  Gorgo... he is  from  the Blue Moon... it is   rumored there...though we know hown Angels are, That  they had these creatires  in  Mexico and  South America  in the  ancient days

In reply to Roy Spencer (msg # 979):

Melia blinked a few times seeming to come out of a haze, "I think I got carried away. Between some old wounds reopening, and sending a message." she looked down at herself, "I really made a mess of things this time. I just saw those assholes, and well I remembered... all the times the demons... it was the same, but worse... he became the demons in my past..." she says quietly, as they start down the stairs.

When the techs move towards her she waves them off and crawls into the car with Shadow and the others.

Despite any initial misgivings she may have had at the beginning Harry had to admit that she was starting to relax as her feet soaked within a bowl of warm water and the brunette, who’s name she probably ought to learn, put the finishing touches to her hair. Listening to Gia’s tale of how an affair with an officer had led to her signing up Harry couldn’t help but laugh ”I should have known there would be a man involved!” she said with a laugh, finding the fact that the colour of the uniform had been the deciding factor hilarious. Still giggling from Gia’s tale she’d listen as Nikki described the military tradition within her family and the fact that she was the first to become an officer ”hey that’s pretty cool, there’s nothing like that in my family” she said, taking a bottle of juice with an exotic sounding name from the proffered tray, taking a moment to say thank you before taking a sip. She wasn’t sure what flavour juice she’d picked up, mango and something at a guess, but it was refreshing and tasted good prompting her to take a bigger sip before continuing to speak to Nikki with a wicked smile on her face ”now what we really want to know is how things went with that cute pilot from the Aries? Did he get to have his wicked way with you in the end?”

  Abby took a  bottl with a  'thank you',..My  Mum didn't take me ta places like this Much... maybe..twice?..  Your Mum took  me  twice a Month..she  hadda  take  me  and Julie    differant time, 'cause  Julie   would always try an' pick on me..thinks  came to a bleedin' 'ead, when i  dumbed a  bottle of   Ink intop her underwear drawer... she barely spoke to me after that..then..she was gone... Abby sounded  sad..

 ..of course, My friend..everyhting good or bad  that has happened to me , was because of Men.. had  I been a poor   woman?.. i would no doubt, have much babies  and  hnaging  laundry now?.. Sevemte.. and the  others.. were of the worse... Th LC.. He knew   why i led him to that  Hotel... and even after it was over.. he gave me  the look that said ' you did your  Job'.... the Duel thing? It was  not   as i feared would happen..but it was  as I hoped?

 she takes a Sip,..Mussette... I was warned to be careful... I am thinking, I will trust only civies  and Hermes  people  from here on out?... Mussete  wore the  insignia..but he was not   Hermes
