( action areas  away from town and palace )

  There was shouting, deep inside the Mountain... The Largran CAoptain Looked over  a  print out of the Spy's  information.

 The  Lizard  urned his ehad  one side to the other  and said......send  half the  fighters   down to the  south Pole,  we shall see if  we can kill that fool  and his followers..... meanwhile, I want to have troops set up  on that   cliff   face  to  greet the   Burians   as they  try to  help the  humans  enter the valley

 ..It will be  done.... the  largran  SGT turned to elave, but the  CAptain said,...have the UEs   ready to attack..we  will send them out first..

with the SGT  moving away as  fast as he could  ..The b CAptain walked a  few dozen yards  to a  thick  window, covered by  a blind.. he opened the  blind  to look out... Camp fires  from the Burans  who have trapped them there  started back...

 ... you might take this Moutnain, HAck....but will it be worth it!

  the Burian cooks were had  at it. makign  food  for those who would be goign into battle..the  gaily decorated   Tents, made it look, to an observer  as if there was some  kind of  event going on.

  Most of the Piltos  when straight to the   Aircraft, checking it out..opening the outside door  of the small cargo  Box, to  put in their weapon and survival  sack.

  once    sercure, Shadow   sat in the cockpit,  wiggled the seat about for a bit, then Hopped out.. He pointed  to one of the armorers....what's the load out  on the   37MM Belts?

..Sir?..   in this order.. Tracer..AP  and HP....  he  frowns  . lookign nat all the aricraft.....you have    about  an Hout    and 30 minutes.. to change that to  HP AP HP..we don't need tracers...

 ..But..Sir?

 ..NOW!... put  one  crewman on each Belt.. you only have to switch out  1/3 of the rounds!..go!  the fellow  ran  calling for   other crewmen.. a Burian CAptain in an Orange  came running UIp to Shadow as he started to walk across the tarmac to the  food tents..

 who the 9 hells  do you think you are!...You can't...

 Shadow held up a hand.....Look, Captain?... we need the HP  more then tracers... if  any of my people need the tracers, I'll send them back to Fuji for training.. Now?  CAptain? this  is Game day.. I have  my Game  face on.. don't  fuck with me..and make sure  My pilots  have the load outs  I ordered!

 Rivets  was  talking to a Burian Colonel.. they Both turned to  Shadow as he neared the food  tents.....You there!..what is the Menaing of this!

 Rivets shook his head,..shoulda  talked nice to the LAd...

 ..Look? Colonel..I have been doing this for a while.. i have done this on your gods be damned planet.. don't test me on this..

 The Colonel  looked  at Shadow,..I out  rank you ..SIR!

  NO..SIR!.... you DON"T...SIR!..I  Am Kray fuckin' Shadow of the  351 ESN Hermes!..I am the WC of the Delta Fleet....SIR!.... NOW... i..i'm just a wee bit  testy, with people trying to tell me how me and mine  will do thier jobs..SIR!.... IF... yuou think you can do this Better... Pick out  one of these gods be damned   Fighters..  strap yuourself  in and lead is to Gods  be damned Victory....SIR!

 some 20 people  stopped an stared.... the Colonel's mouth wanted to say something, but it  didn't come out.... General Bale  camp over  with a Plate of   green Bacon and  green eggs....

 Colonel... yuour  peopel had thier chance at the Valley.... let our people do thier jobs?...

 The Colonel stepped  back...  Carry on..LC....

 Shadow saluted  did a crisp turn  and walked away muttering  curses

 ..now.. ye get yerself a hand ful of pilots  like him, an'  you won't need the  ESN here...

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

  Flores  and  Kat shook thier heads. Kat said, with a mouthful of  steak,..he did not punch him... why did he not  do this?

 Flores   dabbed  her 'toast' in the  greenish yellow of the eggs,..he's not mad at the Guy... he's mad  they don't know..and they   think they do?..they'll see . after  today....

.......

 larry stood  by   Roy..looking longingly , at every plate that came by with a steak or bacon

 Shade  had  his  greasegun on  his shoulder , while  sitting on the tarmac eating looking around between bites.

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

  Nina   was feeding Gorgo, who had a   tiny helmet on his head that made him look like a dragon...

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

 Beth and Orria   had    some  breakfast Sandwiches, as Beth directed  the    2 people who came  down, and the   dozen or so  Burians. on how to set up the CP... the  CP was inside the Hanger  so   enemy eyes  couldn't see it. it  was growing  with screens.. soem  were on, some weren't..beth would point to something  and get orria  to  plug it in..other times she did it herself  as she  called Orria to watch.

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

 in the back of the hanger  were 9 dead bodies..2  were Burian, the rest ,Mercs or  Larrgans..peopel catch  trying to  spy on the filed during the night... 4 Omincoms sat stacked up  as  prizes  from then dead  spies.

——> Bura

Upon her arrival at the field Izzy had made straight for the mess tents and retrieved a plate of bacon and eggs, and a cup of black coffee. Having found herself a comfortable spot to sit down she would eat her breakfast in between calling out commands to Tali, the little drones gloss white paint now smeared with a heavy coating of green-brown camouflage paint in the hope of making it a slightly less visible target, and checking the results using the vid board on her lap ”camera seven’s wide angle needs calibrating... ok Tali now check infrared” she called before taking another mouthful of coffee cursing the over enthusiastic and more importantly loud, woman and her lover for keeping her awake last night.

With only a few minor adjustments to make Izzy was confident that her equipment would be more than ready for when the time to jump off, as for whether she would be ready, only time and lots of black coffee would tell.

Orria excitedly watched and helped. She was thrilled to get to help Beth. She rushed about plugging things in watching observantly and respectfully. It was easy to tell despite Orria's restraint that she was extremely excited.

Hawkeye was working on setting up the field hospital in a separate hanger. Every once in a while she'd grab a tech, and have them redo something that wasn't to her standards. If she knew one thing it was how to run a field surgical hospital. She checked the surgical trays with all the tools, "no no no no, arterial clamps go here in size order, I want 3-0 silk over set in the corner here, and I want all the tray's set up this way. When the shit hits the fan, I don't know who will be assisting me whether they are Delta or Burian, so all my trays will be set this way." She helped push a few tables around continuing to direct traffic, grumbling a little bit at the Burian inefficiency. While the handful of Hermes techs that worked with her regular, darted about trying to ensure everything was up to standard.

Sarah maneuvered around the command post, examining the Burian preparations that were taking place. It had been an easy choice. From the seat of one of her ships sure she could take command and direct a part of the attack, but here she was closer in, and able to see how the Burians operated in person. Knowing this would be vital to later engagements when she'd decided which teams went where. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses beyond vidboard screens was crucial.

 Sam shows up at the Command post, her and Howe will get breakfast, she will say to him," Good hunting and I will see you after." She will give him a kiss, smile and head over to talk with Captain McKeon. " Good morning Captain, I will help Lt. Morrow set up and aid her ma'am if you need me I will be there Ma'am."

 After this she will head over to Beth and say," Good Morning Lt. Morrow what can I do to help?"

 Lizzy came riding in on her new Hover Bike, she looked pretty cool driving it in her Enviro suit, plus it was very tight so it showed her curves as she drove the bike. She took the keys and the rest of her gear and headed for her fighter, she would check it and double check it, then stow her Thompson, grenades and survival gear and pack and then check her sidearm and knife and everything was good. With everything stowed away, she would check the cockpit and made sure it felt good.

 After checking her fighter she would grab breakfast, she would eat like a horse again, 6 scrambled eggs, Bacon, potatoes, toast, some fruit and a pot of black coffee. Once she was done she would look for and head over to Captain Morris.

 Once she finds him she will say," Captain Sir, I got a Hover Bike for my Birthday it is parked by the Hanger here, after this how will I get it to the Hermes and where can I store it there Sir? Of course if you are busy Sir we can talk about this after we are done kicking ass Sir."

(Next Morning)

Zob was up bright and early going through his equipment he had 3 duffel bags worth of gear sprawled out along his cot, he slipped on his Envirosuit then his heavy boarding armor, then looked over the assortment of weapons he normally brought with him and got himself strapped up like a modern day Rambo.

after a bit he packed up the rest and set the bags back on the cot before heading out to meet the others getting ready for the days events by grabbing a coffee, "Morning people" he said as he held the big demon heavy pulse gun one handed like it was a toy while the other drank his coffee.

   Garrat had watched the others come into the tent in their own ways.  His eggs and steak slipped a little, and somehow a healthy piece of steak seemed to slide right into Larry’s mouth.  Oh well, accidents happen.

    “Good morning Zob, I trust you slept well?”

   “Good morning Lizzy,” a smile played on his lips, “I trust you slept at all?”

Henry and Mila arrived and looked for where they needed to be.

”900 metres! Who in the nine hells set up the targeting system to that!?” Harry shouted from out of the cockpit of her borrowed Mantis ”I need this thing resetting to 500 metres and I need it doing yesterday!” she shouted, knowing that she must sound like a complete diva but she needed a fighter she could trust if she wasn’t going to be able to use her own.

With her inspection complete she would jump out of the cockpit and, much to the ground crews relief, head into the mess tent and help herself to some bacon eggs before joining Lizzy just as Garrat made his comment ”well Gar judging by how long the cries of oh Karl! were going on for I doubt it, the real question is did anyone else get any sleep? Harry replied with grin, giving her friend a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek before sitting down to eat her own breakfast with it’s much needed cup tea.

 Lizzy smiled at Garret when he said hello, and then when he asked if she got any sleep she smiled, then Harry showed up and said she heard the cries of Oh Karl, all night long. Lizzy actually blushed a little and said," Garret I got plenty of sleep after Karl and I had fun, I did sleep very well he made me very relaxed. Also Garret thank you for the Hover Bike I rode it here from the Palace I love it., now just have to make it go faster." She smiled and returned Harry's hug and cheek kiss.

 Than Lizzy would say to Harry, " Sorry that I kept you guys awake, but I was hoping you where busy having fun as well so you wouldn't mind hearing my screams." She would smile and as she got up she would whisper into her ear," Yeah I love when you made me scream and moan as well Harry."

 Lizzy then said to both of them," I have to find Captain Morris and figure out what to do with my Hover Bike after the battle. See you guys later, and can't wait to actually fly with you Harry."

  The  Burians   were hustling  about.. a Tech hopped into   HArry's   borrowed   craft to  work on resetting.

 meanwhile containers  that were being  filled by tracer  rounds,  just as fast as  Belts  were getting  HP   rounds  added in.

 Rivets  excused him self   and     went  from fighter  to   fighter snapping  at ground crews...which   drew both the attention and Ire  of  Burian   Crew master... those Crewmasters  ended up on the wrong  end of a Rivets  tirade and began to  hustle    to help the  crew.

  Shadow sat    by himself, eating and drinking a coffee  as his   eyes   watched  the  movements of  the ground crews who went  from..meandering around.. to  running about like a Chinese  fire drill..he  just  gave his head a  shake  and  stabbed a  bit of sausage a bit too hard.

…………………………

 Morris  hearing   Lizzy's  comment  about a hover Bike, frowned.... but   said, I assume you  can  find a place   on the hanger  Dec.. in the back  on the  starboard  side... It will be up to your  to  secure it..if  it  causes   any damage..I'll have it  jettisoned ... ..We'll talk to  Rivets  after this  is all over.. it would not be wise  to bother him  with it at this time.....he left it hang there, as he ,too, watched the Burians  with   an  …unimpressed eye.

…...………………......…..

Sneak was  with Jax   who had geared up..  they both  were eating a  rather full plate, or  eggs  and  bacon and..something that  passed for a fried  potato, but  was  purple.. Sneak would    be 'helping'  at the CP  , since they couldn't  send  anyone  to the Hermes.. as of 0600 all fights  to and from the ship  were  restricted. Sneaks  role, of course , would be to  get  drinks and eats..and?   help out   if anyone asked her  too.. Beth stuck a Hermes  BAll cap on Sneak's head, since she had no uniform.

...........

 Val stood  with  Henry nibbling on breakfast, she  seemed overly  happy.  She would be working   in the CP to Monitor    Grogo and Mila.

 Nina was  sitting  a  table away from the  glowering Shadow , still feeding bits  of meat to Gorgo.

 Larry  got 'leftover' steaks  from the   cuts  the cooks  cut off... he   nibbled     Happily  as his  head would  trun from side to side  as he watched  people.

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

 Admiral Hack... Coffee in hand   Stood  By the Hanger opening to the  CP  Hanger. it   was  0730... Beth gave Him a Mic..pointing to    a Box  speaker  on each  side.. Sneak grabbed on and set it up by the left   door from.. Orria  to the  right.

 ..Good  Morning..Please  continue  to eat and drink  as you feel  you want...but listen...ALL of you...

 In a  Moment or two there will be   rosters  posted... You will report to the person in command of  what group is listed.... Piltos   with Shadow..... ground  troops  with me.... Techs  and Support  with  Lt  Morrow.

 ..This is  not an easy  nut to crack...but we're going to crack the damn thing.... if  wwe  fail... we'll have to bombard it   with  corvettes and  destroyers  from Upper Atmo.... if that fails.. we'll use CAp ships  from Space...... The last two options  are....not desirable..because   we will cause  untold  destruction on one of  our homeworlds... The Empire is goign to lsoe that VAlley.. that  is  for certain.... how much of that VAlley  will  still be usable.. remains to be seen..

 grab your  eats  and Drinks..  Shadow  wil be  down at the south end of the  HAngers..all Piltos go there... Beth  will be in the CP..all support folks go there.... Troops  meat me  at the North end of the HAnger...

  HAck:....

  when the troops  settled in....When the rosters  are posted, you will know  which group leader  you will be  with...

 he points   at a MAp  shown on the  screenAs you see, the Valley is 50 miles long from the   mouth  of the   vale, to the  Cave  entrance... its is roughly  80miles   wide,, at its  widest point..about   30  at the Mouth..

 ..the river is  deep, but slow  moving..it is about 600 yards   wide... the Burians  say  it is  ablmost  70 feet deep... deeper  at some points... but..until now. they had no way of   exploration.

 The Lake  is massive...as it is  deep.. it   feeds the  rivers  that flow past the palace  and goes  east ward to the sea.

.. you will note the    sheer  cliffs   that are on all three sides..getting higher  as   they reach the  'cul da Sac'   of the North... they..are  almost impossible to  climb up...Burians  have  climbed  down... but.. there  are sally  ports    all over the  damn cliff faces.. and you don't know    unto a  rock slides open  and   Empire  troops  charge out....Likewise.. AA guns   pop out  like  old  wooden ships   cannons..they close, just as fast..

 Now..when we  are ready..  the Zeus's  fighters are heading  down to the South Pole....we are hoping   they think that is Shadow's   'memorial run' .. The Athena's  people  are  all flying  to the North Pole..while Apollo heads west.. all these fighters   and thier   ground  troops have some  ...'minor' areas to clean up.... There ground  troops  will be  fighting , just as  our  will be.. they  will have...somewhat easier...targets though

For this... we are havign the  Apefolk drop troopers   as well as Naragran Calvary  with thier  Gava  troopers  land on the  east   ridge of the   valley... the  Empire  thinks    its  going to  be Burians...... the  apefolk  will use  Pusle   and hard ammo mortars  to  shell  the  north end  and face  of the valley... 20 minutes into  the operation , they will cease   fire   at the    floor... and    will try to descend  into the  valley... the Naragrans  and Gava  will  lower themselves  down, using the Naragran's    silk..  once they reach the Valley floor  the  will move north ward   along the   side of the  cliffs.. with Gava and Naragrans hunting anything  'not us'

 On the west   Ridge.... Burians  and Nivarians  will    hand, with   ESN  drop ship troopers    landing  behind them.. the Nivar LArgs and   both races hunting  skills, they   will move thought hat forest  as the   Troopers  follow... if/when they clear the  ridge.. Burians   will  descend  that  cliff while  humand  troops   provide   cove r  fire  and  begin to set up   bigger  Guns  to hit the  North face....

 ..now?.. the hard part. The  Empire knows  we are comign up the  Valley..ridge landing or not..they know were sending  folks in... It is going to  be brutal, ebcause the Empire  folks know what the price of  failure is...

..Our Angel  company   is  goign to  be  at the mouth of the  river,on the lake.. they will be using   Burian  attack boats.. they will not   come up   until one or two things happen.... the 1st.. we reach the  Doors to the Mountain.... or 2... they need to evact our people.

  Roy's group, is goign up the Middle..he will be  taking    Doc  Henry  and Mila as well  as Larry.. as animal  assets.... You will trael on the  west side of the river...

 ..Lyri  will lead    another  group  down the west   side of the  Vallye.. Dr  Nina and  Gorgo will go with them

 LT Hirr  will lead  the Felrites  and out  New company of Burian   Mountaineers  on the east side of the Valley.. they  will   range north  and Link up  with the Naragrans and Gava.. and in the end..Apefolk

 When it  all hits the fan? I am hoping  the  Empire  won't be able to process  the amoiunt  of  troops, coming  from  all those  directions....

 he   hands his empty coffee cup to   Hennings  who gives him an full one....now?.. something i do not like to bring up.... We know there  are  LArgrans... Demons  Creshians  and UEs... we also know the  valley has its own dangers in the wildlife there...... The fighters, and  the Morningstar are goign to    keep  a cap on the Valley.. the   Empire ..MUST ..use thier  fighters  to  combat that......they will also  be strafing the cliff faces and     area  around  the  doors to the   mountain...

If you  are wounded, badly.. try to make you  way back  to the mouth of the valley...once  the   actions start we  are goign to  have Burian Med Vac  shuttles  on  both ridges, and at the mouth of the valley.. we won't ask  shuttles  to fly into  the Valley, Until we   get into that mountain..

 ..if you cannot  be  Moved... you will  open a can of Purple  smoke..that will mean there are badly wounded there...... if you are trapped.. you will open   a can of Yellow  smoke..and?  needless to say..if both..then  you open both cans... EVERY.. trooper takes one can of each, they are  inside the   last hanger were  ammo  and such are staged..

 Hack adds.... Mech Riders.... there is a Bigt Ugly in the    far  hanger.. has   something for you.... You will be going up the  Middle  with  Roy's    Unit.

With her friends cheeks turning a shade of red to rival that of her hair, Harry would chuckle before deciding to put her out of her misery ”Lizzy relax, I’m only teasing you I didn’t hear a thing and like you said I was too preoccupied with...other things...to pay attention to anything else” she said with a smirk that more than implied what she and Will had been doing.

As Lizzy then got up to speak with Captain Morris, Harry would gently place her finger to her lips in response to her one time lover’s comment concerning their time together, signalling that just because Will wasn’t here didn’t mean they could afford to be careless. The idea of bedding her bestie was still highly appealing but not at the risk of ruining things between her and Will.

With Lizzy’s conversation with the captain seemingly over within a few minutes Harry would wave her back to the seat next to her ”Take it from a vet Liz, make the most of the down time because this is promising to be an all day job” she said as ate what passed as hash browns on Bura, keeping half an eye out for her sister as she did so.

Hearing the gruffly spoken good morning Izzy looked up to see that it had been the Demon that she had seen last night that had spoken, though his stylish coat had now been replaced by heavy armour ”well I don’t know what you do to the enemy, but you scare the hell out of me” she called over to him with a giggle. Shutting down her vid board she would then get up and rather shyly walk up to him ”Hi I’m Isobel, I guess we’re going to be working together” she said holding out her hand for him to shake if he so desired.

   Shadow didn't wait  on Piltos,  he began to move  and  he  damn well expected them to be there.

 he   grabbed   a coupel crates  and stood  up on them   so the   pilots  could see him.. he, too, had a Cup of  coffee, and he sounded very  ticked off, as he began to snap out the  Pregame....

 ..alght..listen up.. I say this once.. if  oyu screw up.. you'll either  be in a colony flying Home defense..or wearing  ornage coveralls    to help load   Belts  and spay paint..

  screen behind him, Shadow  said...our  job is easy... we  go through  the valley   strafe  the   9 hells out of the forest..save HArd  ammo for  AA guns  and  enemy  troops you can see....

Half Of  us  will fly Cover.. the other  half  will   keep chewing up the forest and  cliff faces until Roy  shoots  the Red Flare... that means our people  are on the Move... and that Means  we only  target the North Cliff face, until  Roy  , Captain Morris, Admiral HAck  or Admiral Hennings tell us to  stop...

 ..besides that.. we should have to  contend  with, whatever fighters  they have there...... Howe, Fitz  and  Foster   said they would  stay   over the  ground troops,  My  flight, Frans, Steele , He-la and  Ariv's flights  will do the   air cover....

 ..so?.. at  8:05  we  take off  from her..  we  flight out to the  lake   and    follow  the  river into the  VAlley.. strafe  it  hard.. .. we'll spread... Frans   and I up the Middle... Steele  and  Howe to the   east.... Foster  and  He-la  to the west     Fitz   and Ariv  up the middle  behind us..  climb up  the north face, and break  off  to   what your are to do...

 ..now?.... You have   3  chocies if your  aircraft is  damaged badly.... 1.... you  come back to the airfield..you're  done... 2..make a  forced  Landing on  the  east or west ridge.. drop ship troopers  will be there... or?..  a forced landing near the  LAke..3.... if you have to Pod Out... try  and send your  POD to the south... you don't  want to POD out  ahead of our  troops..if    you POD out.... every one  grabs a can of  Purple  smoke..if you're  hurt..or use    Yellow, if you're  trapped ..make  damn sure everyone  gets  a can of each..

 ..now?  the  Fun part... we know there  are LArgran fighters  and Demon fighters..not  sure if the Bugs  have any there..not  sure  if the Vampics  are there..it would make sense... they are close  by.... and.. and we know there are Human Mercs  here....there is a good bet they have pilots?..or maybe  even Red  Birds...

 ..this here?... its  not  war game.. this  is  an extermination...of  an infestation.. surrender lights or not... if you aren't sure  , torch them.... If they  turn lights on.. yuou  will keep[ them  below   yuou  and   have them  fly  west of here... there  are the ruins  of  an old  airfield there, the Burians  use  for  troops...  they will land  and surrender.. every fighter  we can capture  will go to the Burians for home defesne.

 every...single...Empire  trooper  over there..eat people..every..single ..one..The Mercs?.. well..I'm sure its a Mixed  bag... but these  folks are trapped.. they are holding out..don't know why?..but it doesn't matter... They need food.... if you surrender, or  are  captured.. you become rations!

 then he looks  at the    screen, Captain Nilsson?   when  we make out  pass through the Valley... you will trail   Fitz  and Ariv..... about  half  way through the Valley..you are to deploy and  pound the  Cliff  faces  Until you  see    our troops land on the  ridges.. then concentrate  on the North  face.....might not be a BAd  Idea  to  hammer that door.  Once  Roy shoots  his  flare.. i will leave it to yuou  to  find   things worth blowing up...

 ..any questions.....

Nikki was quiet on the way to the field.  She mostly sat gazing at But a with a silly grin.  Once at the airfield she sought out the 25.  She gave it a once over before even getting a meal.  Making sure it was in order she would get something light to eat.  Now she was beginning to get nervous.  She was drinking her tea when Hack gave his speech.  After that and any other speeches or information given she'd give 25 another walk around and finish suiting up.  Then begin going through pre flight check and all.  Real low she whispered the famous Alan Shepherd prayer "Lord....Don't let me screw up"

  Beth    climbed a set of   rolling stairs  and stood on top.. she was   wearing   light boots    and   ESN Blue   uniform with ehr   side  arm and   kife on her Belt.  she had a  Headset on , but  moved the Mic  up in the air, like a football coach.

 ..I'm LT Beth Morrow... I am in charge  of the Cyber Opts  part of this   mission and will....

 two Burians COM Techs  were laughing at here.. whether it was her hair, or  the fact she  said she was in charge..

  She  turned her  head to Captain Morris,..Captain?   remove these two asshats.. give the SEC  orders to shoot them  if they try to renter the HAnger  before the Mission is  done....

  4 Burian SEC  trooper  came ,   and  escorted the   two guys, ( who were no longer  laughing) out of the hanger..

 ..DON'T ... fuck with me....people's lives  hand on every damn word..every dame  wire.. and every damn  screen in the  hanger....

 her  eyes    dared anyone  to  laugh again.

 ..Now?  Lt   Price?... You  will be in charge of Med Tech operations... anything you need ask for.. if you need it ordered  you send a COM through me and  we'll bring  from  the Fleet if needs be...Also?.. Lt Price... There is  some important  baggage you need to pick up in the   Ammo   Hanger.. I sould  say  , go get it now...

 ....as for Isobel Sakura.. yhou will be    with   SGT MAJ Spenser... listen to him... don;'t get killed..and  worry more about what's happening, then your  story...Dead   Vid-Cors  can't report  anything.

 .. Val is goign to handle  feeds  linked  to   Doc Henry and   Doc Nina.. to work with thier animal partners...... Yeoman  Sneak   will  be in charge  of  getting drinks and eats  for those   on the screens and the Board... Orria will be one of my Tech aides...

 a Burian  woman with a ehad set on, raised her hand...LT Morrow?... If this  is   an  AP operation..  and   we are part of the AP..why aren't  we  leading the Mission on our own homeworld...

 Beth    stared  at her.. she wilted  , but stood  in the  face of the glare,..from the Vids  i have seen, and  the reports that came through me...  Bura  has  done a damn fine job of  cleaning the place up.... but your losses  in this   VAlley  are  way...way too high.. so?   the ESN and the APF..are  comign in  here  with this operation, so you all can elarn from it..this isn't about    'your planet'... its not  about  'your place'... its  about  cutting out  this cancer in your planet, and showing you all the best way to do it..... so?  watch  and learn.. ask questions when there  is    a breath...keep quiet  when there isn't... and ..when the smoke  is cleared..maybe... there are  no more Empire    scum bags left..


 ..any questions?

In reply to Isobel Sakura (msg # 17):

(Before Hacks speech)

Zob glanced in Izzy's direction when she started talking to him and gave a slight nod, "To put it simply i kill them"

he chuckled a moment before he finished up his coffee and set it down taking the extended hand offered to him and giving it a shake being sure not to hurt her hand, "You can call me Zob... trying to speak my full name is impossible without the right guttural pitch of demonic... just keep your wits about you and stay behind me and it wont be the last time we work together"

   Garrat grunts, "Truth is the ole demon  can catch every bullet meant for you with his oversized hide, but I'm going to suggest to SGT Spencer that he pair you with jax.  The boy may be imexperienced on the battlefeild but he grew up on the stem and knows more tricks to survival than Zob and I together...and that's aroundtwo thousand years of experience."

   Garrat grins, "Besides, you can't film os from in front and survive.  My money is they will try and bury us in UE's first so hanging back is a good idea."  Garrat like Zod is in full heavy armor, she even may recognize that there are parts to it that suggest it was custom made rather than being standard issue.  He carries a huge rifle over his shoulder that has a clip that looks like a large, downward facing "B"
