Sarah stuck around for a bit overseeing the take down of the TOC, and ensuring all of her people were connected to the correct counterparts or plugged into the Burian system. Once complete she sends Rivets a comm asking him if he's busy.

    “Perhaps, we all support eachother as best we can.  While unwittingly, I thank you for your part in this support.”

 Rivets  answers,..Not really  Lass? On me  way now.. about  2 miles  from the palace..should  be  there in a couple of  Minutes..  ye want to meet somewhere..?

 The Palace  did have the dining room open,  as well as  the Library.. the patio  with the Pool  also  had a  small bar  and  could  order things from the kitchen

Roy gave a tired grin.  "I'm a lousy model...and snipers are never as effective in a spotlight.  I'm content with laying down cover fire for the guys doing the obvious heroics...that's what I do best."  He nodded to Hack, having been effectively dismissed from reporting in, and headed to the library.

Sarah replies, "Sure, maybe a beach somewhere with a fire and some fine drink."

She snags one of the Burian leaders, and asks if they know any good private romantic spots to go to a beach or lake side where a campfire can be had and a pleasant evening can be enjoyed.

   The  Burian  stops  and  thinks,well , Ma'am , the   lage  and river   bu the  Del;ta Lake   is popular, but tehre are alot of  folks  on this side of the lake , from what  one of my people, said?..., you could cross the  lake to the other  side... be alot  less  peopel there.... or..if you go into town, there is  a Lake   to the south  east, that is  fed  from  the bigger lake.. might not be as many folks  down that way?

 he shrugs,if you  build the fires  careful, no one minds  camp fires?

She smiles a little, between the south east lake and the far side of the new lake which do you suspect would be most private?"

As things stand becoming a public figure on Bura meant that it was time to find a way to cultivate a level of privacy so that her troops and people could have fun separate from her, but also to allow her time to let her hair down out of the lime light.

  The  Burian  thought   for another moment,well... I  would guess  the   east side of the lake by the  Airfieold  would be  more or less   quiet.. maybe a  few adventurous  folks might go there...at this time of  night?... we  have seen many  fleet people at the   Airfield  and the town... i think a few might venture into the  City, now that the ob os  over.. there  are  some  fany  places to eat..at elst, Fancy by out standards..

Sarah thanks the Burian, then sends Rivets a comm.

Grab a blanket and some firewood. I'm gonna grab a hover car, and some good liquor or wine. Meet at the palace in 20min?

She grins a little at her own scheming.

.. Aye, that I'll do.. first  I'm takin'   a quick showwer.. I smell like Burian Oil  and  pusle  smoke. Meet ye  at the   gates  in 20....

……………………………..

 at 18 Minutes   a   cleaned up  Rivets  with a   think  Blanket under one  arm and  a  'wood pack' that the Burians  sued  to transport wood, on his back that was  rather full.

Sarah showed up a few moments later after at first arguing with a poor young private that insisted that as the Burian Fleet commander she needed a driver and didn't need to do the work driving herself around. It eventually evolved in Sarah ordering the young man to stand down from the hover car, and if anyone gave him grief she'd given direct orders and that they could take it up with her personally. Tossing him a quick salute she headed to the entrance to meet Rivets.

Once there she opened the trunk where she'd procured two bottles of nice liquor, a bottle of fancy wine, and an assortment of charcuterie. Tucked into the corner of the trunk was small bag with a few personal items as well as a light but warm coat.

----Bura-->

  Rivets    Put the  Blank it in the  trunk and the  wood in the back of the car.

  ..so where we  off ta then?... kinda Late but   that might be a good thin'  eh?

 so?  ye  drivin, or me?

Deciding that she wasn’t really interested in what had upset the young reporter, Harry would instead turn her attention back to Lizzy and the task of getting her to her room ”Babe, you can barely stand unaided so I think we can safely rule out the possibility of you showering” she said as she gently looped a supporting arm about Lizzy ”...as for me having fun, my stomach feels like it’s been hit with a bat so I can’t see us getting up to much, on three, one...two...three” on hitting three Harry would lift Lizzy back into a standing position before slowly heading to the main part of the room.

Upon spotting Will talking with some of the other guys from SEC Harry would call across to him ”Will be a dear and help a pair of damsels in distress” she said indicating Lizzy’s other arm. Although she would be capable of taking Lizzy upstairs by herself, it would be so much easier if she had a little help.

  ..sure.. You bet..let's get her up there...   she they headed to the   elevator,..you know?.. I think you're the  first Pilot   the LC   let go on  an Op with pout being a driver  first, or at elast had  one the older   members  with you...

   As they got in the  elevator, he  said, by way on conversation,..That  Reporter  chick? Did you see Macon asked her to go back with him, that's damn scary... gotta  wonder what might   come  about  down  the road.

 Lizzy was handling the morphine a lot better, she smiled took as deep of a breath as she could and said," Yeah but maybe you could help me or Will and I will take a shower clothed, I really smell got some of that tube dog guts on me as well." Lizzy was being honest and not sexual Harry could see this in her eyes she just wanted to get clean.

 Lizzy smiled again and added," Oh yeah no fun for me tonight, no nothing for the next 6 hours basically, and I do not want to upset Stefi if LC is afraid of her she must be something else."

 When Harry counted down Lizzy stood up, it wasn't too bad, she stood up and she was wobbly her head was in the height of the effects of the Morphine made worse when she stood up. She took Harry's arm and she will walk with Harry trying to do as much as she could on her own, then she remembered no one is suppose to know about Delta Nights and she said," Oh yeah Harry if we are stopped Stefi told me I am drunk okay."

 Lizzy's head was spinning when she stood up, but she was very happy. " Harry whatever they gave me is really hitting me right now, I need to get to bed." Then Lizzy looked into Harry's eyes, they where so amazing and Lizzy drifted off to the amazing times she has had with Harry, then she said quietly," You have amazing eyes and you are so gorgeous and sexy, damn Harry."

 Then Harry called over Will to help them out, and Lizzy snapped out of her wet day dream, and will smile towards Will and carefully try to wave at him.

In reply to Melia Kristensen (msg # 547):

Zob was on his way out when he heard a familiar voice behind him, he stopped and turned to see Melia, "Of course you can" he said as he moved off outside and lit up the smokewood cigar, "So how did your end of the assignment go?" he then offered her a smokewood if she wanted it.

-----> To Bura

With Lizzy insisting that she actually needed a shower and that it wasn't an excuse for them to get up to anything, Harry would nod her head as she replied "ok, we'll see what we can do"  before laughing at the supposed cover story Stefi had devised for her "Drunk!? Babe you're as high as a kite,you don't need an alibi...oh and trust me she's given you the good stuff" she said with a laugh before rolling her eyes as the poor girl proceeded to hit on her "yeah I know I am, now let's get you to bed" she said before calling across to Will.

With Will's help they would manage to steer Lizzy into the lift, at which point Will would mention the fact that Macon had asked the reporter to go with him, an offer she'd obviously refused considering that she had flounced off long after he had left "Really? Well I did see her dancing with him the other day but I can't say I thought anything of it...why? Do you think she's dodgy?" after all it wouldn't be the first time they'd had an EDT agent on the ship.

Roy receives a text comm from Nikki.

 When Harry said they would try she says," Thank you Harry even if it is just a sponge bath I need to get that crap off of me, they smell worse dead then alive."

 Lizzy was getting hit hard now she tried to help as much as she could but her head was swimming, she says," Oh hell yes she did give me the good stuff, damn this is strong, I don't feel any pain just can't figure out how to move my legs." She laughs and hangs off of Harry some more. Lizzy smiles at her and says," Yes you are, sorry I am injured can't go to bed with you tonight."

 Then Lizzy saw Will come over, she would give him her other arm, and she will do her best to follow them to the lift and head for her room.

 Then they talked about the reporter girl, she seemed nice but what Macon was a bad guy, Lizzy had thoughts about it. " So Macon was a EDT bastard as well, and they let him leave, I guess I missed a few things. The reporter is a spy?" Lizzy was trying to fight the morphine and clear her head, but she was very foggy and her mind was racing, oh wow Will is here she thought.

 Lizzy will lift her head look at Will and say," Oh hi Will when did you get here." Lizzy turns to Harry and says," Hey Harry Will is here he is helping me, he is so sweet and damn sexy you are a lucky girl, did I give you your gun back Harry, oh Will how did your mission go, I got shot twice." Lizzy's mind was all over the place she was trying to calm it down, but with the injury the drugs, everything that has happened her mind wanted to be in La la land for a bit longer.

 Will shrugs,..I dunno what to think about her..... I eman..she's a reporter  right? And    , the after  party? She wasn't really nice..Lots of  folsk  don't like the  LC.. that's a face.., but when you take that,, and  add it   to hanging with the colonel.

 He shrugs,..she'll learn... I am  interested  to see what she   goign to do with the info  the Admiral   buried her in.. this  could be a  very  funny expirance... well...for us?

>>>> to Bura

"It might be a bit harsh to brand her a spy just because she danced with Macon, though being a reporter is bad enough" Harry responded wrinkling her nose in disgust at the thought of having a reporter in their midst "...either way if she's a spy chances are she'll be dead by the end of the week" she said with casual shrug, after all it wasn't the first time they'd had a spy in their midst. Meanwhile Lizzy would continue to chatter on in a very cheerful if rather confused voice. Glancing across at Will she would roll her eyes in a way reserved for those who had to look after their mortally drunk friends and found it to be rather amusing.

After wandering around the Hermes wing of the palace, they would eventually find Lizzy's room and get her inside, with Harry then turning to say to Will "go and make yourself comfortable baby, While I get her showered" before steering Lizzy into the bathroom and shutting the door. It hadn't been until she'd been carrying Lizzy for a little that she noticed that the redhead did indeed smell of dead bloodhound and so couldn't blame her for wanting to get clean.

Once in the bathroom, Harry would set the shower running and removed her jeans and vest top before proceeding to help Lizzy out of her clothes and into the shower "OK lets get you cleaned off and then into bed" Harry said in a kind voice as she handed Lizzy the soap so she could get started.

With her shoes sitting on the floor Isobel would sit within one the large plush chairs within the library with her legs folded up beneath her in that double jointed way that only women seemed capable of. Her attempt to find a book to read had been quickly thwarted by the fact that she read neither Burian or Angel and so instead she had opened up her vidboard instead as Tali nestled in beside her.

After reviewing the footage she had taken tonight and filing it away she had gone on to find herself a film to watch, though not before pausing to look at the photograph that was on the vidboards home screen.

The photograph showed a group of ten men wearing combat gear gathered together in a posed shot with Izzy standing in amongst them. Despite being worn and tired the men were all smiling cheerfully with a large bear of a sergeant putting his arm about her shoulders causing her to wonder whether she had done the right thing in coming here, sure filming an infantry squad fighting insurgents in some god forsaken desert was nowhere near as prestigious as being on the Hermes, but at least they had come to accept and in some cases even like her.

Softly sighing to herself Izzy would slip a pair of earbuds in before selecting a martial arts film to watch.

 Lizzy smiled and then answered Harry about Izzy," Oh maybe just in the wrong place with the wrong person,we will see I guess I wonder when she will interview me about my asshole Father, but she is cute."  Lizzy will walk with both of them as the look for her room.

 Once they get her to her room, Lizzy would smile at Harry," Thank you Harry you are such a good friend, Will thank you as well, we will be right out, just need a quick wash."

 When Lizzy gets into the bathroom Lizzy will watch Harry get undressed, but this wasn't about that it was about getting clean and not hurting her wounds. Lizzy will help Harry remove her own clothes as much as she can. Once Lizzy was naked ,Harry helped her into the shower and she did what she could to wash herself but she let Harry do most of the work. Lizzy did not get hot or bothered she just wanted to be clean. Not that she didn't want to have fun with Harry again this was not the time or the place.

 Lizzy smiled and her head was still foggy, when she was clean and smelled a lot better, she would let Harry help her out of the shower and she would start to dry herself off as best as she could. Once she was dried she would give Harry a friendly hug," Thank you Harry you are my best friend I would do anything for you Harry. Plus you need to stop blaming yourself okay, I am a big girl and the choice was mine okay, and we did pretty good considering what we ran into, just next time I will be more prepared." She will then give her a friendly kiss on the cheek.

--------------------->>>>>>>>>>>To Bura (Palace)

With the shower being a far cry from the last time they had showered together Harry would get Lizzy washed up as best as she could manage, considering her friends current state, before helping her out of the shower and then drying herself off with one of the towels whilst Lizzy used the other.

Returning the hug, Harry would smile as Lizzy kissed her cheek "You'd better be better prepared or I'm handcuffing you to the bike" she murmured before leaning in to tenderly kiss her forehead "Come on, it's time you were in bed" she softly said before retrieving a robe for Lizzy from the hook on the back of the bathroom door with her then quickly getting changed before leading her into the bedroom where Will was waiting for them.

Once Lizzy was safely in bed, she would offer her friend a smile as she softly said "I'll see you in the morning love" before taking Will's hand and leaving the room, turning the light off as she went. At which point they would make their way to their own room a short distance away "Will baby,if you want to do anything more than cuddle tonight you need to promise you'll be gentle with me, my stomach feels like it's been hit with a bat" she softly whispered, feeling just a little delicate at this point in time.
