Harry's eyes would gradually flutter open to look upon Will from where she was snuggled up against him. Enjoying the feel of her bare skin against his she would start kissing his cheek so as to get his attention before gently turning his head so as to give him a single, long and lingering kiss upon his lips "as nice as this is, we should probably think about finding something to eat...especially if we want to be involved in the Delta night" she whispered with her lips softly brushing against his ear as she did so. It had been awhile since she'd last taken part in a Delta night and so was more than happy to take part...assuming of course that they had a mission suitable of her particular skill set that is.

  Will  frowns  , he is a bit bleary eyed  from the  warm sleep...yeah?.. time is  running down... best  get some food  and head  back..or just head back and see what the palace has.. and  we can get suited up.

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

  Clark  is   swearing under his breath,ok?  the only way to pretend to do this  right..is to  get on top the    damn thing  and   see if i can snap off the   arm..or something?... I'd  say have  Kira and Morgan be in the armed   ESN Mechs..

 he starts  up the slope  until the top of the machine is a few  feet below the  water... he moves  to  step on the   cylinder  stomping hard   with his  first step to see the  reaction..

 ..its bending  a bit..have to  say its hollow, or..has  an outside shell....
 Morgan and Kira sprinted to the  Big Ugly in the hanger , that held  the mechs.

With the arrival of the food Izzy would take a sip of her beer, finding it to be just deliciously moreish as she remembered it to be, before helping herself to a slice of pizza "I think I'm only there to observe this time around" Izzy replied when Howe asked whether she was involved in the Delta night. To be fair she wasn't all too sure what they wanted her to do, because although she had military training she was nowhere near skilled enough for such work, and it wasn't like she could release any footage of the event either. The only thing that did come to mind was that they wanted her to help with the cover up and return Delta Night to it's previously mysterious origins, a difficult task considering how well known it had become in recent months.

With Sam seemingly trying to keep it altogether as a result of losing all of her friends, and in the case of Howe more than a friend, Izzy would offer the poor girl a sympathetic smile as she reached over and gave her hand a quick squeeze "It's ok, we can still swap messages with one another if you like, and depending on how long Delta night takes there's nothing to say we couldn't hang out with one another tonight when it's finished" she suggested, figuring that they could have one last drink together at the very least...assuming of course that Sam wouldn't rather have a little alone time with Howe. Which if that was the case Izzy couldn't blame her, after all she knew what she'd rather spend her last night doing.

"It'd be a shame not to see the town" Harry quietly mused before adding with a giggle "...besides, I thought you wanted to see me in one of those low cut Burian dresses like off of Captain Lightning?" giving him one final kiss before getting up and changed into her uniform. Although the dress would be nice food was most certainly top of her agenda with her not having eaten since this morning "come on lets go and get something to eat, I'm starving" she said whilst waiting for Will to  finish getting changed before heading down the track that would lead to the airfield and the waiting transports.

   Garrat radios to engineering, and requests the screen.  Shortly the white Largan comes up and works with an adult from the LG to set it up for Joe.

   In the men time Garrat contacts the other amphibious mechs: Edmund, Benjamin, be on the ready.  If Clark causes a response the satelite might have a means of attacking him.  At clarks word your weapons go green and you need to subdue the mechanism it uses.

    Joseph uses his multi instrument feed port to feed the comunications array and the different sensors through his computer.  His fingers fly across the keys as he puts each sensor onto an audio visualizer so the energy waves are measured by the same system that he uses to measure soundwaves. "Okay, three screens : much better."  The original screen measures communication and the new big screen has multiple lines monitoring the sensors with squares of imaging sensors across the top and lines for wave lengths across the bottom.  He hits a key and all signals go to real time. "Okay I'm monitoring, us, the Mechs, the fish transport and yest there is light activity from the Un Identified object, hense forth refferred as the U.I.O."

  Clark took a second step...then a third ,  the  metal buckled  a bit  with  each step.


  about  10 yards  from the  solar panels.. the  damn arm looks  like its  a good  3  inches  around,   no wires   sticking  out, so it has to  be  contained inside?

  Morgan and Kira  are leaving the hanger in the   mechs they used for the   attack.

 Sam smiles at both of them and when the food shows up she digs in and takes a sip of her wine, and it was so good. She looks at Howe and says," Well I just hope you come back my way again for supplies and some fun time Lt."

 She will give him a kiss and then turn to Izzy, and say," Oh that will be fun, I will be working on Comms and most likely doing some hacking, I will be in the command center you can stay near me if that is where you will be Izzy."

 Sam smiled when Izzy took her hand and after she spoke Sam responded," Oh yes we can definitely keep in touch with Comms and Vids, I hope both of you will do that." She smiles at Izzy and then Howe. " Yes depending on when Delta night is completed we can spend some time together Izzy, but need to leave some time for a little fun." She smiles and leans in to whisper the rest to Izzy," If you know what I mean Izzy, he is so hot."

   Garrat turns to Teela who had landed and come aboard shortly before he moved the ship.  "Does this look like angel tech to you?"

   <Aqua> "Clark, when you reach the connection,  can you put your weapon on the pipe and fire point blank to sever it?  We can always use the salvage grapples to tear it off but I don't want to rip up the insides by ripping out the power cables."
</Aqua>
    Joseph, are you getting anything?

   Clark  made it to the  Solar  Panel arm. he looked at it.I'm by the arm... I can't   break this.. I  mean.. i could grab it  and  hand  from it.. the weight might do it?..but who knows  what will happen...?

 Joe make is only getting  some faint   signals going out..nothing coming in..

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

  ..well.... Let us  do  something  with it..aye? the area  is cleared ..if  it isn't  a Bloomin  nuke..we should be  alright if it goes off.... Moris  says

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


 Howe    is on a second  slice of pizza,..well..  I hate to be the bad  guy here... but we go  about  30 minutes  before  we should head  back.... he   take this  slice  from the vegie  part......i don't   think the Burians know how to make bad food?

Haley laughed at being thumped by Gregors tail.
Nikki looked over as she handed out the food, passing some to Mitch to help with and helping him see how even Haley was getting along with the baby larg.  "Could be Roll.  Some say that such beings came to Earth a very long time ago and became known by other names.  I am sure Toni's dad does not hate or dislike you, he just does not know you very well.  Sometimes people are like that, they judge you without really knowing you.  He also works on the farm and works with animals much like Haley and myself,  so he has trouble finding a balance that works.  Now....I have a question for you, why the long face?  you do seem sad in a way and I want you to have fun.  What can we do to see you smile?" she asked.

 Roll looked  around, he still pet  Gregor  who still thumped his  tail...I don't know?  I miss my mommie?... I don't get to be  with my new mommie much, cause  people are trying to kill  us all the time?

 He looked at  Nikki,..Mr  Shadow said  i was good?  But if  i'm good.. why is everything  bad  all the time? his  eyes  were wet.

   he looked   down the way were  Lifter  and Dice  were playign  with their  'new' mommies  and Daddies .

  Mitch cleared his throat a bit,..that's the bad   thing out here , Roll?.. we   are trying to change that... its  hard for you to understand..but   we are trying to make   The Balck safe..for every one... bunches of  'Rolls' all over the black.. Sanri Rolls... Occui  Rolls..

 Roll nodded slowly, he  kept petting the happy little larg.

  Jax  and Sneak   where coming back  from Town.. they saw   Haley and  Roll  and came over...Hey!..Roll...  how  come you're  not  running around?

  Roll looked up  his  eyes   Got  big  and he   jumped   up ( flopping  a very surpired LArg onto   Haley's lap!)

 ..Did You Come to play!

 well?.... I was Just on...  Sneak elbowed him,my way to  ..um Tell   the SGT MAjor   where I am..., so yeah.. Let's play..soon as  i send him a COM  Jax  sends  a  COM to Roy,  he puts  down the bags   that they   got  and  Sneak grabbed  Haley and the four of them   went  Runnign    towards the  lake... with  Gregory   shooting  out  after them...

 Roll  was laughing  anf Gigglign  as    Jax  'missed'  trying to  tackle  Him..then  Laughed More   as   Gregory  Jumped on  Jax.

 Lizzy and Karl get out of the transport near the lake, Lizzy thanks the drivers and then heads out to the lake. " Wow this is amazing Captain, lets go find a nice secluded spot shall we and enjoy the sun, water and the company." Lizzy will look at the shoreline and decide to head in one direction looking for a good spot.

"Good work, Gorgo. We can pass that on to SEC."

Henry smiled at Nina and the feathered serpent.

"Anyway now they're gone we can enjoy the rest of our nature walk. It's not quite time to go back yet!"

 whether it was  the  peopel whop ran.. or the presence of the  3 humans  and thier animals.

 the   wildlife  became a bit scarce.   they saw  same , bird like things with  fish hanging off thier  pointed bills, land  by 'beehive' like nests and  stick the fish inside.

 they did  get to  see. what appears to be a tree, reach out  and  snag a small furry    creature  with  its  'vinelike' arms . the  little creature  squealed  and  was  dropped into the maw , that opened like a  giant knothole. then  closed, looking like bark, once more.

 as the looked over the area, they saw a few of those 'trees' about. one  smaller then Mila  that  was  trapping  bugs and  such.

  "We're getting DBU's but not enough to get anywhere.  I'm working on analyzing the signal to see if it is a repeating pattern or a data stream.  I'm also analyzing the frequency, pattern, and bandwidth to see if fleet intelligence has any matches.  But I'll need Morris' okay toget them to look at it."

(Flexed)

After getting suited up they took off towards the lake with due haste it would be a little bit until they got there but they were indeed coming, "Sgt Garrat i am in route will be there ASAP"

  “Roger that CPO, trying to cancel or hold off any action till you get here.”  Garrat waits to see if they can sever the panels.  “Captain Morris, Any way you can okay a fleet intelligence review of the signals being sent out by the artifact?”

Karl followed Lizzy, enjoying the scenery as well as the 'scenery'.  "I think it's been close to a decade since I swam in anything other than a pool," he commented, as they walked along the shoreline.  "Been with the Fleet for close to five years, now, another year in transit time from Earth, since we couldn't exactly arrange a direct transfer with Ge-Fi locking down the Sol System...before that, I was flying at a proving grounds in the high desert...not a whole lot of beach-front property there."

 Lizzy smiled and she knew Karl was checking her out and she loved it. Of course her stuck in the mud Captain Father wouldn't like it but oh well, your daughter us,all grown up.

 Yes it is so beautiful,  I haven't been swimming in a lake in a long time as well. Oh that spot looks nice. Lizzy saw a little secluded cove hidden by trees and rocks. She entered the area and it was almost perfect, just no waterfalls. Lizzy would put her bag down, then get out two large towels and lay them down.

 Then Lizzy would remove her tank top and shorts and she was just wearing her tiny string bikini. There was barely enough material to cover what absolutely had to be covered. Once changed she smiles at Karl then turns 360 around and says,Well Captain what do you think of the cove and the scenery, and of course my new bikini? it is a little tiny bit hey I am not the modest type.

Nikki waved them on over.  Haley suddenly found the excited little large licking her face "You tickle" she giggled.
"Jax, Sneak, come join us.  We are having a picnic.  Ithis is Lt Mitch Regal, just coming aboard the Hermes.  Mitch this is Jax and Sneak" she made hand gestures between them "We were waiting for Morticia and Victor, but apparently they've been tied up some where.  My guess is with Hack and some other business" she did not mention 'Delta Night'.  she was happy for Roll to smile a bit.

  Morris  sent back a COM,..If  possible   store  what you can for the  feeds...  our..COM people are  either on shore leave, or ..um..getting ready for night life... so... this  will have to be handle here  and now.

 Clark  COMed....I'm'  right next to the  solar arm?... its  a damn think conduit, i guess?..   Solar panels  as  attached to the top with  some  shiny collars..Brass?..copper?  I dunno.. not  greenish  so maybe not  copper.

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

  Jax and Sneak barely had   time to smile a dn   nod to Mitch  as they all took off  running about the   Grass... about  500 yards   or  so to the  south was  the gathering of  Garrtat's  folks  and the mechs   standing near  Morris...The CAptain was not dressed for  duty

  "Alright, as there has been no response I'm running the tow cables we use for scrapping to you.  Lets get those panels disconected so we can tie it off and carry it to shore."

  Clark looked at the  Panels and shrugged inside his  Mech.  ok?   send  them  down....but.... if  we take away the panels?... doesn't that sorta  kill this thing?

Karl grinned slightly at the question.  He'd already given his opinion, back at the palace, but he was willing to play along with the tease.  "Bet it doesn't cause much drag when you're swimming..."  In all likelihood, unless the strings were deceptively strong, it probably wouldn't hold together through a full-on dive into the water, but he was smart enough to know negative commentary wasn't appropriate to the situation.

"Does it shrink if it gets wet?" he asked, laughter in his eyes.
