Ma-Ti looked at garrat , slowly putting the drink down....well..we  were ordered to get some down time... are you sure you  would wish to go to a place like that.. I am sure  it will be a mixed bag of  people who will be glad to see us..and those who hold us in distain...

In reply to Garrat (msg # 135):

    "That has pretty much been the story of my life.  Before I got really tired of the politics and got myself busted back down to captian, I was a General in the navy.  Many looked down on me because I was and Einherjar, some feared me because I was one of the acursed, others despised me because I didn't put up with their lies or play their litttle games.  Many liked me for these exact reasons."  Garrat searched her eyes. "This is old hat for me but I'm willing to do it if it's what you would like."  Garrat smiled a little, "Besides, it will be fun to watch the men's jaws drop when they see you in a dress like you wore last night."

 Ma-Ti smiles,  and  then nods  slowly,all right... when should  we go?.. it will take  me  about  30 minutes to get ready?

    Garrat looks at the information he has.  “There is a nice party at the star club.  They have invited militants of captain and higher.  They failed to mention which military but that was probably to let the Vampics in.  It so happens I’m a captain in Asgard.”
    The Vampics are likely to be using the rich to counter Hack politically and we have orders to kill on sight so a little Fem-Fatal as the earthlings say might be wise.   I’ll alter my uniform for Asgard, and cloak and dagger and meet you in the observation lounge in an hour.”

 She left the recdec and headed down to the mech deck to see if she could get in some orientation into mechs. She hadn't done as much work on that as she'd hoped, what with all the lab work she had done on alien microbes.

 To Mech section>>>>>>>

 Ma-Ti   smiles,, ..I will go  and get ready.. I will see you in a Bit... she gets  up  leaving   a 5 cred tip  . and  walks a  bit slowly towards the elevator.

  Rolfe  Looks  at Will...you going ashore?

  ..Naw.. Harry and  some others  went to shop and stuff... I'll just wind   down here..

 Rolfe   nods, ..what about you LT? he says to  Justin.

In reply to garrat (msg # 140):

Here will do fine. Justin replies pointing at the table as he thanks the waitress. Glancing at Rolfe he oscelates his left hand. Might do; with the situation as it is going solo isn't a smart option. Nor is going without a few extra mags.

  As Justin Comments, Will  nods ,..not here... not this station, that's for damn sure... all this  hunk of scrap is,.... is a place where  people who didn't want to  live in real colonies  settled...then the  riff raff  moved in to make it a Cred makign machine.

  Placing his  drink on the table, Mann added,Imagine what  would have happened to all those poor  bastards  in this   quad, had we not   come here.. damn place is  infested!

In reply to Rec Dec (msg # 142):

There's two-three cures for an infestation, the first being a quick cleanse exposure to overpowering counter-infestation process; the second a long persistent process clearing out one section at a time, preventing exposure then advancing from this point; the third is a combination of the first to.  I've an inkling that we won't be able to undertake the first, nor will we be around long enough to effect the second method. The third would be possible if authorised to look into possibilities and assistance from insitu support.

 <<<<<<  from SEC

   Frans  and Eckles  came off the   elevator  with  Besserman.....So?.. After  that stupid  mouth full of words you aimed at the LC's Daughter.. AND.. who is a Ship's captain... I have   to ask who the 9 hells you didn't know   the LC was  on this Boat.

  Dana came over, giving the  New  guy an Icy stare......if you don't mind me saying, you'er on the wrong  boat if you don't like the LC... she left  after they ordered a pitcher  of Beer and some burgers.

 ..My Father  always  had  issues  with him..and Roles.... even here.. he was the first Pilot  brought  aboard  by  Hack....Even   over  Guys  like Howe and Wills? who had  some service  on Mars and Titan?..But.. I've learned  That  he  is a damn hard  core bastard, to the Empire, or anyone who sides with them..and  he takes  care of his  people..in and out of the cockpit.

 ..He doesn't like you.. you made it worse  with your    big mouth... you want to stay here... watch what you say?.. you have a problem with Aliens?

 well?..Yeah?... I mean the Angels got us out here.. But  were  picking up the slack for everyone else....

>>>>>>>>>>> From Med Bay

As Xyran and Finne began walking something interesting caught his ears, "What is a Vampic? i have never heard of anything like that before"

<<<<<<<<< Xy from Med tech 3

   Xy  stepped onto the  Rec dec... there were a few  Civies,  alot of  Crew who were dressed in Off  duty Unifroms..

  Some pilots  were sitting together ( frans Ect)

 Shadow  was  at 'his' Table with a  short, odd skinned  humanoid.. and a very  large  6 legged   Lizard-dog


 scattered around  were  members of the  away teams  and other pilots

 some  weird  humanoids.. look like   old earth Vampires.. even act like them.. Doc henry has a live one  down in his  lab..or?.. she might be in the bring  by now?... Caused  quite a fuss on Anzio at the  party... The LC  Killed  one..lots  of people killed some..

Xyran got even more curious, "So like the old Nosferatu style vampires, suck blood and afraid of sunlight?" Would he now have to carry a stake and silver bullets?.
This message was last edited by the player at 03:40, Wed 10 Oct 2018.

 Finnes  shrugged,..I'm Afraid  I don;t know?  seems all of our  myths  and Ledgends  are based on some form of alien ..You haved ot ask   soem folks who fought them?.. The LC Hand some encounters?.. The SM and a few  others  as well.. Admiral HAck  has a  'shoot to kill ' order on Vampics.

Xyran made his way over and grabbed himself a drink and some food and took a seat near on of the back tables, "I will have to talk to Doc Henry at some point and get brought up to speed on this new enemy" Xyran reached down and noticed he was missing something important, "My sidearm is missing... ill need to get a new one"

  The  Med tech  nods  as he  gets a slice of  Pizza  and a soda, letting the   stalls  scan his wrist for the two of them.

 ..well?  once you  feel you're  ready, we can hit the QM..get you a  side   arm and a blade... they'll have to check your boarding armor they found you in..

 ..any one here you want to talk to?... or do you just wanna  eat, relax  for a bit...From what  they say?.. this   was your Home away from home... I'm guessing  you'll feel better  as things  come back to you?

Xyran took a small drink from the soda, it felt like forever since he had a human drink, "Truth be told my boarding armor is likely broken beyond repair... I lost quite a bit from my time away"

Xyran then reached over and took a bite of his food as he glanced around the room before looking to Finnes, "I never really had a home per say outside of service life... ive always saw 'home' as a place where your friends would be there to greet you and make you feel welcome... as for how i feel... well I have a distinct feeling ill end up with more questions then answers"

  Finnes   nodded    as he chewed, that's for sure?... Its one thing to come on here  brand  new..like i did?..  I mean..alot of these folks are in vids  and   action figures...

  Un rolign his Vid  Board he pulls up the list of  Action figures.....see?.. here you are.. Set  5... so?..some folks are gopign to know you..even if you don't know them!

Xyran took a close look at the vid board and points out one of the figures and a frown came upon his face, "Her... the Corporal i remember her sacrifice like it was yesterday... its not easy to lose a good friend"

  Finnes  nodded...there are a few of these folks that aren't  around  anylonger..one way or the other?.... That  Corporal's  sister still flies    In the LC's  flight....she didn't take   the death very well....She serves  as one of   Shadow's    Sword MAidens.. Her and Flores..

Xyran shook his head and sighed, "Her death was unnecessary... playing the hero only leads you to a early grave in most cases..." Xyran said coldly and bluntly it was obvious that he never really forgave her for it.

After a moment he looked to the other side of the Rec Dec, "Her name was Katirina if my memory serves me... the corporals sister?"

  Finnes  Nods,..LT  Losky .. another Russian.. she comes   up on the Rec Dec  now  and then.. mostly   she  has a MArine or  crewman on her arm

  Irina  was her name.. indeed... Yes... it hurt losing her.....

   Shadow eats his     cabbage and noodles.. he    talks to Shade, softly   sometimes..  Shade shows him the Vidboard, or  makes a few sounds... Larry   is  trying to  eat the steaks , like he  is supposed to.. sawing off   big chunks, rather then  Gobbling the whole steak...

 ……………..

  Besserman   sits  with teh  3  LAdy Pilots,.. how the  9 hells  do you fly with that guy?... he's  always  had a big head..even  when he was just a dock rat...

 frans looked  a little put off,..I have never been a Dock rat?.. I have always  had the Best... was always thought to be the Best...  he had  to earn everything.  either fight to take it.. or fight to get it back... I never understood that, until  my   3rd year on this boat....and you know  what?... His father.. didn't have  his mother   blown up  by the EVOLs..who worked with the Empire.


  Besserman shakes his head,..don't know what i did  wrong.. but i'm damn sure i'm being punished By Richards  for sending me here...

 Eckles  shrugged.....you wanna  fly and fight.. this is the place... the Delta Fleet... and if you wanna get up close  and personal , then you get on The Hermes.. we've been beating up the  Empire  kids and taking thier lunches...


..If  I may.. Mr  Hansome  pilot?.. What did your  Admiral say..when she  sent you here..

 he dabbed  some fries into ketchup  and  ate them   and reached for his drink,..She  said.. ' I giving you , your chance to  fight.. You are going to the Hermes... and  may all your Gods help you, if you do not learn...

 ..learn what?

 I ndunno?... I'm the best  Pilto in the Gamma  quad.,.. there is a Good bet.. I'm the Best   pilot on this  Boat  and...

 The  grils  laughed.. his  face got red.....what?


  Gia  was the only  pone able to answer, the other two  were trying to control themselevs.ahhh.. I see  now.. Mr  Best Pilot?..  the three of us.. we have the Blue Max.... Steele  and Raven.. they have the Blue Max... Captain Morris... Admiral HAck. LC Si.. all have the Blue max... that fellow over there, with the big Lizard dog?.. he has  Blue max..and?.. is the  leading, allied  ace of the war?... so?..please..again?  tell me how you are.. best Pilot on boat?

…………………………………….

   Shadow    put  down his fork and said.....Dammit Call?  I'm  not  some   dumbassaed EDT?.. I can see you..come one over...

 Will was a bit embarrassed  as he walked over  with a couple hot dogs fries  and a drink.

 who sent you up?

 ..sorta..my idea?... you know... so yo don't ..like kill any  new  dumbassed  pilots?

 Shade  shook his  head  and  Bleeped.

 ..he says.. you can't stop all three of us....

 Larry looked up  and thumped his tail, then went back to his steak.

 ..yeah?.. that's a fact!....but?  Lets try not  killing  anyone on the boat?.. I don't want the SM  , mad  at me?

 Shadow took a    forkful of   noodles and cabbage, a dumpling stabbed on he end, and he winked,..we'll see...
