Meari smiled at Nikki when she came out and nodded at Zob when he came in. Meari would then enter the room and saluted Shadow," LC Sir Sgt. Meari reporting to give my statement Sir?"

  ..that's why we called for those out there to Come in..either to help  show her actions..or  to defend them..then, we wil have to have choice to make.

Abby looked up..for the first time, it seemed , she started to understand.

Zob finished off the coffee and tossed the paper cup in the trash, "Well I'm going to head back to Med Tech if you decide to kill her make it painful" he said casually as he walked on back to Med Tech.

------> To med tech

  Captain Morris  stopped in SEC he  had  some folders  with him. He  Hald  them up  for  Shadow  to see.

  ..I  Leaving    in a second Captain, Sir.

 Morris  smiled and  gave a head nod, leaving for the Rec dec.

   Looking at Meari, he said,well SGT?   what have you got... I have a Red Dec  full of warriros  waiting   to have some fun and forget the battle.

 Will, Have  Cora   get Abby a Orange  Prisoner  jumpsuit.. I want her to wear that tomorrow  at the  send off

 Will nodded ..already done, LC and left  to tell the ladies  what they needed

  As Will left, Shadow  stood  waiting  for meari's   report. When she was  finished , he motioned to the office.Maria will have you sign your  statement., I'm going to the rec dec.. . I'll see you   all up  there.. except  for  the Failure here...

 She  stood up, things bouncing in her  light garb as she  snapped out,..I am Not a Failure... It is you..and the rest who are Failing Earth..

 Shadow  stopped as he watched her  quiver  in rage, ....Earth..itself has messed up. Following leaders  who  lead only for themselves.. some turned on teh Angels, because Angel tech  replaced  the   money making  Fossil fuels that were killing the planet..others?  didn't want to lose  power..or  wanted to grab it...

 It would seem, Maris   and GE-FI were happy enough to  'live the good life', while people of earth died...and yet there were idiots who followed them. Now?  we are in something Bigger then us...and..if  Earth falls but the APF  wins this war, then it will be a small sacrifice.. GE-FI has to  fight many battles  now... he has to worry about those who might qiestion him, now that that last meeting was braqodcast...Maris is on the run..leavinbg you and  those  others  who served as beacons for that ..underground bombardment....I'll see you at Send off...

 Shadow truns  to leave for the rec dec...

 FLEX

Meari nodded and then said," I was just coming out of the supply tent, when I saw Ens, Lynch strike the Ensign here, very good punch, she fell. there was talk of a Comms being used to attack us, I was helping others get to the shuttles I went to go get here and Zob said she was a traitor leave her, so I help others into the shuttles Sir, that is all I know sorry Sir.

 Once Meari said her story she would do her paperwork for it and when she was able to leave she would head to the Rec Dec.

 Robbins  got the COM message from Maria  to   go to the   Black Hanger...so?  what do we  do when we get there?

 Maria   shrugged... I COMed the  QM.. he'll let you in... Bring  Ensign Lynch in to SEC..tag her if you have to... lock her up until th LC and Stefi  have a look at her.

 Robbins    frowned  as   he  took a Tag postol from the rack, then handed another one to Scarelt ...

 Wagstaff  is waiting    at the  Cage for you as well...

<<<<<<<<<<<  from hanger Dec.

  Harry was brought in The QM  , with  Wagstaff, Scarlet and Robbins. Maris   just Motioned to the other  questioning room, and they Took her in.. Lippen was now   on Guard, As  Maria  sent  Will to switch places  up  on the Rec dec..

 Ellan and Cora  were   goign through papers and such as they watched the clock for thier turn to  go to the party.

  Maria  came to the   door, and said to Harry with a slight shake of her head...LC left a  little bit ago, we reposted Will on teh rec dec... SM is getting  ready to leave..he might have  some questons  for you... I would Imagine  the LC and Stefi  will come to see you as well.

 Robbins   closed the  door and  sealed  it. They left  the intercom on since she was considered 'drunk tank'

walking in she looked at who would be in charge.  Looked like Maria.  At the counter shr looked at her gave a wave.  "Maria, I was told Lynch was here.  Any chance I can talk to her?  Please" she really wanted to help Harry.

 Maria  shurgged,second  questioning room,  the intercom is open..you cannot go in...she has..'dropped the ball'.. i think they say it..Si?

 Lippen  smiled  awkwardly a Nikki  as she   stood  between the two rooms  that  had the sisters  inside.

Nikki went in and sat punched the intercom as Harry sat there "Harry...It's me Nikki.  I think you need to talk to someone.  I'm here.  Just talk" she used as soft and comforting tone as possible.

——> Hangar Dec

Upon her arrival in SEC, Harry would be escorted to an empty cell with Maria informing her that although Will was currently posted on the rec dec that Roy and Shadow would probably want to speak to her oh well that’s just what I need! Harry thought to herself, rolling her eyes as she walked into the cell and made herself comfortable on the bed.

She hadn’t been lying on the thin mattress for long when she heard Nikki’s voice coming through the intercom ”Nik...the last person I spoke to shopped me to the feds so why exactly should I trust you?” Though to be fair it probably couldn’t get much worse.

"Because drinking ain't helping you." she said flatly "I get why you knocked Yo.." she stopped in a stammer from what she was going to say "No....I get why you knocker out cold.  If I'd been there closer I woulda have done the same.  You are not responsible for her actions...she is.  She put herself into her shitty position, now she gets to lay with it.  You taking this role of self-pity is dragging you down with her.  I am here to help you not go down that bowl drain."

"Yeah, well, unlike supposed friends, and family, alcohol has never stabbed me in the back!" Harry retorted with a derisive snort from where she lay on the bed staring up at the ceiling "..and you're right, she did, and I was the one dumb enough to think that there was someone out there that I could actually trust and gave a shit about me...and to make matters worse I made the mistake of doing it again and here I am in a fucking cell! Well message received loud and fucking clear; Harry you're on your own, trust nobody!"

"I'd hand you a tissue for your private pity party, but I'm not allowed in your cell." Nikki got a little perturbed at Harry "But if you could not trust us then why was Libby trying to talk to you and why am I here?  I could be down on RecDec singing and playing guitar.  I'm not...I'm here trying to help you figure your shit out.  Just not sure if that's holding your hand or clocking you up side your jaw.  I'll have that be your choice.  But I will say you wading in a pity pool ain't cutting it." she figured it would give her a bit to think about "Your sister made her own shit to wallow in.  You tried to save her, don't think you could have.  She was too brainwashed by a male thinking of his own importance and not that of others, only how to use them.  That is not your dirt never was.  As far as I see the only dirt you gotta deal with is the alcohol.  You know there is a mission coming up.  You are gonna miss it drying out.  Could mean another pilot might not make it home.  Can you live with that?"  Okay a little underhanded guilt trip.

Roy stood off to the side, listening to the bits of Nikki's conversation with Harry that were loud enough to carry...which included plenty of Harry's commentary.  His face was impassive...there was a pain behind his eyes that wasn't picked up by anyone, at the moment, as he was pretty much standing by himself.

While he knew there was an expectation that he show up on the Rec Deck, he considered it a secondary priority.  While she wasn't exactly a regular, Harry had been part of several of the Delta Night missions...and that was enough for Roy to feel some degree of responsibility for her.  And he'd seen a few too many good officers waste promising careers because they couldn't stop swimming in a booze bottle...

”Well seeing as she got me locked up rather than coming to meet me I think I know exactly where I stand with her...as for you, maybe you’re just here to gloat? Or maybe you’re both EDT and I’m going to have a little accident during the night poor Harry, couldn’t cope and strung herself up with her own belt boo hoo that seems their style to me” she said in a cold voice before bursting into laughter when Nikki suggested slapping some sense into her ”well why don’t you come in here and try that and see what happens?” something told she wouldn’t and even if she was game she couldn’t see SEC condoning a brawl in their holding cell.

As Nikki finished her piece about her missing the next jump off and some hapless FNG buying it because she wasn’t there, Harry would pause for thought, realising that she was probably right and that they would make her dry out, not that half a bottle really constituted as a bender, meaning that they would be going up with one less experienced pilot. Then again it was very hard to feel sorry for supposed friends she was struggling to trust and faceless FNG’s that would probably buy it anyway ”my heart bleeds”

  Lippen  was feeling awkward.. having to stand   between the  two cells  with the SM close  by and Nikki arguing  with the  pilot.

 Maria  COMed   Roy,rather the  Call out across the office...should we tell the  LC  ,Harry is drunk?

"Wish she hadn't called either, but she did because she was worried about you.  Just like me." she said with a bit of exasperation "You seem to forget Harry some people like you...why at the moment is beyond me.  You got a guy who cares about and worries for you.  You got more friends who care about you that you think you have..who you are disappointing by acting like this.  Hell, you even have a fanboy who'd follow you like a puppy.  And you want to toss it away by drinking.  The drinking is not gonna solve the problem Harry." Her brow furrowed "Have you ever known me to gloat...about anything really?  So why would I gloat over a friend hurting.  You just need to realize you are not responsible for your sisters actions, only she is.  You are responsible for your actions.  I can only tell you from what I have seen of that...it's been shitty.  Maybe you should think about cleaning it up because you are the only one who can.  Noone likes watching you self destruct except your sister.... a traitor.  So why let her win?" she then shrugged her shoulders "I'll let Lizzy and Izzy know your safe.  Beyond that what you do is up to you, I just hope you don't let the bastards win.  I thought you were tougher" She then shook her head and began moving back to the main area, she noticed Roy.  "Thank you Maria.  SM...En. Lynch struck En. Carmichael because she was the one who had the open channel to the enemy.  I do hope that whatever occurs with En. Lynchs condition that this fact is also taken into account with it for the emotional stress that it has caused her" her tone was rather matter-of-fact attitude.  Harry might not believe it, but she was there to help.  She just could not help her at the moment.  Only Harry could help Harry at the moment.

Roy's face quirked in a grimace at the comm call.  That was a conversation he didn't want to have...but it needed to be done, and it shouldn't be via comm call.  --Not yet.  I'll let him know after I speak with her...-- he sent back, looking up fro. His comm to catch the tail end of the exchange between Nikki and Harry.

He nodded at Nikki's report about the situation...part of his reason for being there was to get the story from Harry, herself, though, and that wasn't going to change.  Beyond that, he didn't say anything...just grabbed a chair, setting it down with the back facing Herry's room.  He sat down reversed on the chair, his arms folded across the top of the backrest, and looked at Harry, trying to decide what to say.  There was plenty he wanted to say...but he also knew the dog-piling her with expressions of disappointment, right now, could make the problem worse.

When all else failed, there were always procedures to fall back on.  Just as the silence started to get uncomfortable, he asked, simply, "So, tell me what happened down there, Harry."  Try as he might, he wasn't able to prevent a bit of disappointment from coloring his tone.

Nikki was heading out of SEC when Lizzy commed. She leaned on the outside wall a moment and talked quietly "Gal is so tightly wrapped she snapped.  She got booze from somewhere and is a bit of an angry drunk.  Tried to convince her she's got friends, but right now she thinks we areall against her.  Wish we could have handled it ourselves and kept it out of SEC" she looked up and about "But that ship has sailed.  I'd saynwe give it another go, but in a few hours after the booze finishes its cruise in her system.  Abby is there too, got her in a ugly ass orange jumpsuit.  Headed back down now" she clicked her comm off and walked to the lift.

===> Rec Dec

As Nikki said her piece Harry would lay on the bed and stare up at the ceiling with ehr waiting until Nikki had finished speaking before softly replying "yeah...whatever" in a slightly hurt voice, with it clear that she was struggling to believe that her so called friends had her best interests at heart.

With Nikki barely having left she would hear the scrape of chair legs on the floor outside prompting her to twist her head just enough to see that Roy was now sitting outside her cell door asking her what had happened. After fighting back the urge to suggest that they should start charging people to come and see her, Harry would sigh in a manner that betrayed the fact that she'd been trying to avoid this particular topic of conversation before replying "After the shit Abby had pulled today I'd decided that I could no longer deal with her so took her to one side and told her that she was to put in for a transfer as she wasn't cut out for Delta, anyway whilst I was doing this she gets a message on a non ESN comms unit and starts grinning like it's Christmas morning, at which point I smacked her one in the gob, took her weapons, comms unit and fighter, and left her there...I figure that if she managed to get herself out of that alive then she deserved it, only some idiot decided to bring her back here! And now the one thing I didn't want to happen is going to happen and there is fuck all I can do about it!" she said as tears began to slowly roll down her cheek with her quietly adding "...needless to say I'm having a couple of trust issues at the moment"

Roy nodded, grim-faced but understanding.  "You've gone to bat for her a few times...I get it," he said, simply.  He sat is silence for a moment, before he continued, quietly, "That why you're busy slapping away every hand that reaches out to help?  I mean, a lot of people have gone to bat for you, too..."  It wasn't an accusation...if anything, it was a bit mournful.  He said nothing more, just sitting there watching Harry without a word.

  A COM TEXT   from Shadow,..comon up and relax..Anny's not going anywhere.. and if she tries, that takes  care of other  stuff... i have plans  for her after   Send off.

Roy looked at the comm for a moment, then keyed in a quick response...  --Something came up.  Not Abby.  I'll tell you when I get there, but I'll be a minute or two...--
