Kira nodded at Morgan he was getting on about something and she had a good feeling what it was about, "Ill see what i can do about it Morgan i promise" she said as she made another note on her vidboard. Kira then sighed quietly a bit it seemed her work today was gonna a bit extensive, "Ive noted it Clark, anything else need to be brought to my attention?" she asked one last time before she would set about today's activities.

 Clark   added,..yeah?.. I was  thinbking..mable a soda   machine inside3?.. Nice  cold  sodawhen were sweating across  the field  in our tin cans..

 Morgan chuckled,we can get a Popcorn  thing in the Bird  Cage..sorta  looks   like a  popcorn machine when its  on all 4s...

Kira facepalmed a bit her team were a bunch of clowns but then again so was she to a extent, "Then we need to start telling those people in Fuji R&D what we really need in our mechs" she chuckled finding the humor in the situation a bit relaxing.

Roy nodded to Nagy.  "We all lose people, somewhere along the line.  The Scots have lost half their personnel, since they came aboard.  I'm almost afraid to send them out as a unit, because it wouldn't take much to wipe them out completely, now...but you, Bodily...so many others...we've been doing this thing since Delta Prime, first time we saw the Creshians.  Gonna be weird for a while...have to start thinking of Bodily having been reassigned with Tuke."  He gave a sad grin, then shook his head slowly in a kind of disbelief.

"Still...after all this time...after some of the crap avalanches we've been through...you look at some of those things and figure anyone who survived that can survive anything.  Easy to forget that Death is just kinda waiting behind us...at any minute, he's gonna tap us on the shoulder and say, "C'mon, it's time to go..."  And there's no arguing with that."

 Nagy  smiled,..I was  always hoping he  be too damn bust  tapping  Empire  Bastards, to get to  us...

 then his Voice  got a  little  colder  as they near SEC,..what i don't get?.. is letting that Brachus  guy  go?... sure?  he's  broken like a cheap action figure..but   that don't  seem like us?.. letting a  high profile , bad  guy go..

Roy shrugged.  "I can see some reasons for it.  I can see your questions about why.  Personally, with the situation being what it is with the Vampics in a civil war, I think it was strategic that we weren't seen directly killing him.  The end result is the same...but that's a visual that's gonna fuel the fires of their old guard, and might turn some of the rebel faction back to falling in line again.  We didn't send him out under good circumstances...but he WAS alive when he left the ship."  Roy shook his head, and added, "I'm pretty sure that wasn't the reason behind it...because Shadow doesn't generally think that way and I don't think Lilit was particularly inclined to it, either.  But it works out better for us.  I'm not even going to try and figure out what was going through Shadow's mind when he came up with that idea, though...that's a dark and dangerous place, and I try not to go there any more often than I have to."

    [Flexed]  Garrat laughs, "Not at all.  Just winding up some loose ends before things  really get crazy.  I hope you don't mind hitting the observation lounge.  It's more relaxing, and there will be plenty to see in the black from there."  He sighs and looks over at the mech section, then down at the pit and says more quietly "I'm going to need the down time before things pick up."

   [Current,] Spencer gets a text from Garrat requesting to return to Fuji on the LG

              Kira gets a text from Garrat asking if they are bringing one of their Vampic mechs?

In reply to Garrat Wolfrim (msg # 740):

After installing his latest patch to the his bird Justin slipped from the control seat and pressed the release to close its canopy. Spotting the tall form of Garrat, Justin quickly slid off the wing and headed over to the Nordic type. Hey There Asgardian. What ya been upto?

Roy's comm chimed, and he read the message, then shrugged.

Sure.  Don't anticipate much happening between now and Fuji, and I'm pretty sure we can deal with it if anything does.  The response was succinct, and Roy had plenty of personnel available to handle duties on the Hermes.

He turned to Nagy.  "Time to shed the dress blues and get on with being a Marine, I guess.  You know how to find me if you need me."  He turned and headed for his quarters, then to the Rec Deck.

In reply to Justin Kase (msg # 741):

   Garrat clasps his arm in  a warm greeting "Justin, how has piloting been treating you?"

In reply to Garrat Wolfrim (msg # 743):

Justin returns the Warriors grasp, as best as he could, which considering the difference in their physique his effort would equate to that of a babe in comparison. Justin noting how Garrats clasp reminded him of the Kerger's grasp during their first 'training session'. Well enough, it has its ups and down, thanks for asking. How goes it in your Engineering Venture with the Jaggers?

     [Flexed before the observation lounge with Teela]  "An interesting way of asking about it.  The transport is coming together.  Having a couple of largrn techs to help with the Largan tech helps with the transport and the mechs we've been geting but their military is dumber than their technology.  We are hacing junk rats assemble and maintain them, mostly for scrapping purposes but many of the kids want to grow up to be soldiers and some of them are at or closing in on recruiting age.  Missy has to watch the bottom line but I've been watching the training.  The transport it's self is coming along nicely.  The Largran techs are interested in the quality components we have been able to secure or engineer for the ships.  They have not had access to this before and had to engineer for the lack there of.  As the ship becomes more advanced we can hang more acceptable armor on it without compromising maneuverability...I'm sorry.  I went all techy on you."

    "Any way, after a quick break with Teela, I'm going to hitch a ride back with them and see how many kids we can get running machines on the proving grounds.  Wanna few lessons on the heavy gear with us?"

In reply to Garrat Wolfrim (msg # 745):


Flex

Justin grimaced Gaaann Wolfrim, your idea of Heavy gear is bound to crush any normal Human. Toating about a 105 howitzer may be a walk in the park for you; but really Garrat you should consider making allowances for normal folk and limit yourself to Standard Issue stuff. Like a couple of MP's, a Carbine or SMG... 

Garrat chuckles “It’s a reference to Mechs from my people...we classify servo powered armor systems as “gear”.  though your mechs are like our passage support, middle gear, Einherjar are trained in power suites referred to as light gear, while our bodies are behind the metal they still work like mechs.”

    “Indeed.” Garrat removes a 8 inch round from his pistol “in light gear an Einherjar Carey’s an assault rifle large enough to use these as regular munitions so I imagine the dwarves could build you something that will make a chain gun manageable.”

In reply to Garrat Wolfrim (msg # 747):

Justin grinned at Garrat's reply. Really Garrat... Are you trying to  entice me to transfer from the Navy to the Marines?

  "More along the lines of suggesting cross training.  It was highly recomended beck home."

In reply to Garrat Wolfrim (msg # 749):

Justin chuckled Is that why you're sometimes unusually angry. Too much cross training.

<<<<<<<<<<<  Shadow  from the Shed...

   Once more the LC moves to his  flight line  Fire..Argie  is getting the half  crews  in shape..

  ..QA  and B flight  look pretty tidy...

  ..Aye Sir.... the lads  and Lasses  been workin'  pretty hard,  with only half of  us left... hope they finds  some good  replacements  on Fuji...

  Lookign at the empty berths  were  aircraft used to be, Shadow nods,..you and me both.... you and me  both...

  Frans  CAme  down to the HAnger Dec, looking for Shadow, he was  standing  by the   Hanger bat  dorr 3, nearest  A and B  Flight.

  Jax  was  walking  past.. he had    his  brand  spankign new  Uniform on, he looked  tired. He GAve a sharpe salute to them  and relaxed when it was returned.

  ..So..PFC Jax?.. you look a but  tired...

  Aye Sir... SGT  Shoemaker   hand  me  run the tunnels...... Master Chief  had   me  do some rope   Climbing  in the HAnger Dec..... and   Corporal  Call, had  me  on the spine   'running Sprints' in  leavy boarding Armor... I don't think i like  heavy boarding armor...

 Frans  Smiles,well?.. You'er getting the best training you can get... .... She  Nodded to   Shadow,..I'm off  for  my quarters... see you when  we  form up  for  Fuji...


 Shadow  chuckled a bit  after  Frans  left,..you'll like that boarding armor  when Pulse round  slam into  you...but?  I agree.. i hate the Heavy stuff... I use  an Evirosuit  and Light  armor..but?.. I'm also a Pilot... depending on what they slot you in?.. will have alot  to do with youyr armor type.... Supe..Hodden..Minnet..they wear heavy armor, because  they have Heavy Guns  and  will get alot of  return fire.... people  Like   Roy , the MAster  Chief.. Ma-Ti.. Az-el?... they are snipers   so they have lighter   stuff  , to move in  hide in

 ..I'll give you a  tip though?   The magna boots?.. Don't  let your Heels  touch, Unless you are securing your footing..when you want to  move  fast..  stay on your  toes..like a sprinter.... wouldn't  hurt to practice  that on your off time?... down in the hold, or in the Tunnels Build up your leg muscles, though?  I'm sure you did  your share  of  running in  The Stem

    Jax    nodded his   thanks  and Moved on with his   'patrol'... it seemed like a needless activity, but he was getting  paid  for it.. and it helped him get  used to  his equipment.


   Shadow Moved to HAnger Bay  doors #2.. as he ehaded towards the Bow.. he lined  against the   Bulkhead  that separated  #2  and  #1   one that was   closest to the bow. He Leaned against  the  metal  watchign teh stars.. sipping on  his coffee.. He  figured , if  any one needed him, they  knew where  he  woud be.

  Lt Ariv popped  up,  like a Hunting  cat.....I am to  be begging your  pardon?... Do  My pilots  need to go to the porving grounds?... we  wil be getting out  own Upgrades shortly?

 ..Well?   I think , you'd  have to ask The Admiral?... But as  Wing Commander, I think yhou should.... You'll get a chance to  fly a new  aricraft. and  you might like it!

 Ariv's,   fangs  showed  as she  wringed  her   nose, the    whiskers   twitching,..you be  knowing, we  like to fly Felrite   aircraft....

 ..yeah?... Doesn't  mean you can   try out a brand  new  human  made?

  would  it be, being  acceptable, for  my  pilots  to make the choice to come?...

 ..We have flown together  for a long  time?  I will trust your  Judgment... Just as you  should  trust mine?... I will leave it  in your   HAnds..er..paws...whatever...

 The twitching Tail showed she was  thinking  as she said,..I will talk to them as group...yes?... Then they can  tell me  ... I will be going to see... since i  am Flight leader...

 ..Sounds  Goot LT?...

 ..you are spending  , much of  the time, looking out at the stars.... are you expecting something?

 .not  really about another  Hour  we'll  be able to see   Fuji from the hangerbay   doors, if the course is right....Other then that?.. I  just wonder  where the   bad guys  are..and  how we can hunt them down..

 She   Puts  a Clawed   hand  on his shoulder,..That  is  why my people  follow you... you think...like a Felrite!

 she  walked away , heading to  the   elevator   to  round  up her  pilots

  The   Newer  folks  would  Stand  watch first... they would get some  shore leave  the   2nd  day.  Mainly , watching the Hold and the  entry ramp of the Hermes The Hanger Dec  , Slightly  above the Docking arm  with the   ramps  down  so  people and   Hover  carts, and Vans  could drive up and unload,

 Already the First group Of  Civies  were  headed off the ship...Many of the New  Children  from the Stem or  the  New York, were being taken   by thier new Families   on  a mini vacation. Most have never  seen a Station, as  beign a part of it, but  rather   had  to hide   inside of it.

 Shadow  stood  By the   3rd hanger door, closest to the   Ramp way. he  had a  Duffel sitting beside him as he  waited, and watched others  take  the ramp Down.

  The Admiral  and  Commander Si walked over, both dressed in off duty uniforms,.. YOu waiting for someone?

 Shadow  saluted   an easy salute,no?..not really, letting the Civies  thin out. They have been trapped    on this boat  for  longer then me?.. I get to go fly .. waiting    a few minutes  won't lessen my leave..

 ..I take it you'll have a party tonight as well?

 The LC  nodded,..Aye Sir. Party tonight that will carry    through tomorrow, though  i'll be  on Woth most of the day tomorrow...is there any plans....

 we  will find out  from Gresh  at the party tonight? But, from the reports  i have been getting, there  is a  blackmarket shuttle that leaves the   'wild' part' of the Stem Once  a week...it  desposes  of garbage   Gresh and HIs  Peop have collected, after some....conversation...he  did   Hint that there moght be  a minor task or two... we'll see tonight..

  Shade  came  down,   a Backpack on his  back. He  stood  next to  Shadow. He  whirled a bit.

  ..yea?  I would be rather disappointed  if   your  Sister  didn't  stop by .  Lilit  will be at The Admiral's Party, And   Dusk is her Flag officer.

 Shade   bleeps and Points  at Shadow,..no..no.. Not me..  I don't  want to go higher then Commander... I'm gonna be flying until the   war ends... not standing on the bridge ,watchign every one esle  , have  fun.

  Lookign  down at teh dec, then up at Shadow there is a  string of  noises .....welll... if everything  stays the  same?.. you'd  have to  move  up the ranks  on a Verian  Ship, Since most folks  can't understand you?  If.. there is  any changes,  I could  see you moving up the ladder in the ESN...

 ..Comon?..  we'll go  down  and  grab a ride... LArry must be hanging   with Roy...

Henry and Mila turned up, the dog prancing around at the thought of a run ashore.

 Beth, Lyri  and Maria , The Latter  was dressed   as an 'on-duty' Hermes Sec Trooper.  Saw  Henry.

  ..hey Doc? You going to the White Sands , You can  ride  with us...gonna be hard to get a  ride, unless you order up your  own  car.

…………………………………...…………….

 SEC trooper  were lined up , waiting for  a Fuji Shuttle to take them to station and Hotel.

 Jax  was   fussing with his Uniform.  and   shrugging his shoulders, trying to get the Light  boarding   armor  to settling in on his chest.



 Will smiled a  bit  and turned to him, he pointed  to the smaller  Button on each side of the  shoulders and  pressed..there was a bit of a whirl as the   right side  'snugged up'..

 Jax looked at him and did the same  thing to the left side..the instructions   didn't  say to  do that?... that's supposed   to be if  we  go  out of atmo, to seal the  armor?

..Yeah?.. but... if  it  doesn't  fit  right..then it  will hamper   you when you try to use your rifle..... Just don't seal it all the way?.... and  next time you have off duty  time on the ship.. wear  the  thing  down to the QM, and tell them to adjust it... a bad fitting suit, could have you 'not come back'..when we hit the ground to fight for real.

 Sneak   stood off to the side she seemed to  be lookimg around, trying not to be 'notcied'.

  Nagy  whispered something to Will, Will   didn't turn to Look as he said,..Tell you what , Trooper?... why don't you take a run over to the    Flight lines   and do some stretches   and stuff, then   get back in line...make sure  it feels right...

 Jax  nodded  and  took off..his helmet bobbled... as   Will  shouted after him,..and secure that head gear!

 Jax   talked to    Sneak for a  minute  as he 'made sure the   helmet was secure".. then CAme  back, with Sneak   running towards   Henry  and the others.

  Shoemaker   came over, her had  armor and such, but he didn't carry a rifle or  SMG, instead  he sported a Sanri Blaster...can't  sue a rifle  yet..Stefi says.. so i got this.... Jax?... we're Going to be doing   Security for the  Parties  and the whole stay at the hotel.... we shouldn't have much to worry about..but we have to  stay sharp....  the floor  , just below the  rooftop condos  has two big suites ..one for  the lady  SEC, one for Guy SEC.... you can also,  crash at the LC's  Condo..he's  cool like that.. we're  working schedules..and  You may have to spend  some time on the beach with the big shots....when you are on the beach, you have to dress...like you are on the  beach... Fuji SEC..get to wear the armor and  stuff there..but make  damn sure you have  a Side arm and  COM...

 ..there will be some  down time for everyone too..this is  'home'  after  all.. Admiral will make sure folks have a good time....If you end up on Woth... you'l have to keep yourself   ready.. .no matter what  Fuji SEC  does. they can't  cover  the whole damn moon....now?..I'm telling you this, 'cause most of the others  have been through things like this, one place or  another.. You'er a Hermes SEC  trooper.. you will be expected  to  be  'on the ball'..

 Jax  Nodded, the Helmet didn't bobble any more.
 .....................

 Sneak stopped  by Henry and the girls,..can  i ride   with you?... I volunteered to help serve  at  the parties?
