Re: REC DEC # 8

As the song started to play Harry would find herself slumping down in her seat in a desperate attempt to sink through the floor before anyone decided to single her out and draw more attention to her than she currently wanted. With the conversation having turned to that of the upcoming football match and Ball, Will would ask her if she wanted to join him in the owners box ”oh...um...yeah I guess I could tag along” she replied with out any real enthusiasm, not really wanting to attend either the football or the ball but not really wanting to abandon Will entirely to his fate knowing that he probably had no choice but to attend. On the other hand she really didn’t want to play the role of trophy wife either especially if it gave her yet another chance to impersonate a teenage boy in a dress.

Re: REC DEC # 8

Roy shook his head slightly before speaking up.  "See, that's where you--and every other wannabe-top-hotshot who turns up here--get it wrong.  You think Shadow's top dog because he acts like every other insufferable arrogant prick in the Fleet.  If you'd stop trying to get ladies to take your joystick and actually talk to them, you might find out just how many of the Shadow's not only never hit on, but actually taken to task the assholes that didn't respect them.  You'd find out that he makes sure everyone on the serving staff here gets a solid tip every time he sponsors a post-mission decompression event.  You might even see how he never even jokes about taking any of them to his quarters...if they go, it's their idea.  You might also notice that the only people he gives a hard time to are the ones acting like assholes."

Roy shrugged.  "I mean, maybe it's just my background in infantry, or being a scout sniper, but I usually try to assess the terrain I'm going into, and the troops I'm around and against before I set my strategy, instead of just plunging in and doing the first damn thing that comes to mind.  I thought they taught pilots how to do that, too...I mean, I know Shadow spends a helluva lot of time looking at what kind of flying tactics enemy planes use, and tailors his to match...tries to do the same with our planes, but that gets tricky when he gets a bunch of newbies and greenies every mission.  It sure as shit gets harder for him to watch out for them when they don't listen to what he's saying when he tries to tell them not only how to stay alive, but how to win."  He looked around the room, gesturing at the long-term pilots.

"He's demanding of all his pilots.  The ones who listen to him do well out there, and keep coming back.  You look at how long the flight leaders have been serving...some of them have been flight leads since before Shadow got bumped to WC, and they've got the kills to match.  And there ain't a one of them runnin' around trying to convince people how good they are."  He gave Machins a hard look, gesturing with his fork to punctuate his words as he spoke.  "People here know--from personal experience--anyone who tries to brag up how good they are?  They're not that good.  The good ones don't need to say anything about it...they just get out there and do it and people SEE that they're good.  That's why they all get respect," and his gestures indicated a lot of the senior pilots, before returning to pinpoint Machins, "while you get flak and shit.  You want respect around here, you walk the walk, and forget about the talk.  Because as long as your mouth is running  off about how good you think you are, nobody who's been on this tub for more than a month is gonna take any of it seriously...and you're gonna have to work that much harder to get their respect later.  You want to be respected around here, you earn it...in AND out of the cockpit."

He gave Machins a level look, and added, "And I hope to hell you take that advice better than the last five people I've given it to, because three of them are dead."  Two of them were in his own ground troops...and both seemed to be taking the words to heart, at least in some degree.

 Sam smiled and replied to Izzy, Yes the quarters are very nice, that is great you two moved in together. Yeah I bet it is crowded I have seen your clothes collection Izzy. Sam giggled, and then laughed at her comment on Lizzy trying to get Izzy's top on. Sam said, I feel bad for the blouse. Sam smiled and laughed.

 Sam smiled and said,Yeah it does suck we are in different fleets, but I am here on the Hermes a lot, bettrr than being stuck on Bura worrying. I am not sure we have fun together not sure how serious yet. Sam smiles.

 So Izzy working on any big stories, how is my gunho reporter friend doing?

Re: REC DEC # 8

  People  settled  in  it was getting close to lunch time as people  comign of shift or watch came  onto the dec for somethign to   Eat. Two   men walked up to Shadow's table, thier  Shoulder  gave supe a run for t his money , they still glistened  with  sweat and had some
 iron dust on thier  faces  and  bare arms..

 Hey? Shadow?   We still doing the walk through, right?

 Shadow turned with a smile,  he  nudged Machins,  This  is    Slate... The White guy nods,..and Givens... The Black guy nods.Center  and   Left Guard.. two of the few Civies  still on the team from when we beat Olympus for the championship...

 Givens  grinned,That was  nice, but  i liked the beating we  gave the frenchies and the Germans...... Gonna be  rough this time around...

 ..for them?  we might have some new folks, but it comes  down to how hard you jack them up... Theya re used to playign against thier own fleet , and their Lowers  team... I bet thier  lowers  team loses  by 40 to Athena he waves  at Machins,..by the  way..This is machins.. goign to be playing Corner or  Safety... or? both, depending on the sets...

 Slate    snorts,well.. he better  carry his  weight.. we missed  last practice cause of our shift, but  Bennings told us you made him look silly..

 Machisn  frowned... Shadow laughed,..Naw?  he does that all by himself.. But You Know Walker? He'll   move the new folks around  until he finds a place to plug them in...

 Givens grins  at Shade,..Hey Little Man.. you ready  to pop people?

 Shade's eyes  were Green and he bleeped  giving  a Thumbs up.

 There was a deep chuckle in givens chest... he looks at  machins,Dude's  little.. but he'll hit you... see ya  at the walk through... the two big men moved away to find a table, waving to a waitress who is   hustling to greet them.

 Damn.. I work out..you work out.. those guys look like the have Ape  folk or  Hyrian in them...

 we work out, Machins.. those guys work... pouring  plates  and pats,  lifting them, stacking them , grining and welding or melding.. they do it   for 8 hour shifts..some stay an extra  4, to get overtime... you do that kind of work, you get that kind of body... Look at Supe, Hodden and  Minnet?   carrying  Heavy weapons around  like  they are  22 rifles...

 Machins  got up...well..I had enough of feeling inferior  for a  while, see you at practice...  he walks away, some of the ladies    taking an extra  step away from him  as he passed.

  Shadow  shook his head,...goign to be interesting,, i tried to find film on him , but he was on all the teams, but got transferred out before he ever played any games? I bet the last game he played  was  at the academy.

 .........................

 Will gave her a look  as he   took a bite of his food,..you'er in a bit  of a mood lately, and you weren't even shot? ,He  gave a glance to  Lizzy's table  and says,..girl problems?

...........

  Howe  came on the dec followed  by Brivet.. they  went   Past    Sam and them he gave a   quick wave  and smile and they stopped  at Shadow's table.   Larry thumped his tail as Brivet reached over  and  rubbed his noggin...

 LC?... I got  some   news from one of  my Buddies  who works the lowers, he said  The Admiral  ...'submitted a request to St Gaul for  replacement  fighters , for the fleet..she is trying to  recycle  old ones on us....LC, That's not right... 

   Shadow looked to Brivet.....oh?  I don't have anything, i was    working  on Toni's  fighter  with her, sicne  i don't have one yet...I wanted to see what you have to saw, when Howe told us... 

   Shadow  sent  a COM to    Admiral Hack... Admiral Hennings, general Bale and Captain Si.....That's  all i can do?.... She might have the right  to send  us 'what she can afford'... it will be on  a talkign point  for  certain..

 ..thanks LC... don't mention where you heard it, i don't  want my Buddy getting in trouble.

Re: REC DEC # 8

Zob had ordered himself a steak and a cup of coffee and when it arrived he thanked Dana and gave her a nice size tip, as he ate he listened to Melia and nodded, "I think we should leave the ceremony open to any on the ship and have it down on the field, see if i cant get the rec dec to supply food for a buffet and some entertainment"

He then heard Machins complaining about his physique this prompted Zob to shake his head once Machins was gone and out of sight, "Man what a weakling..." he then flexed a little his arm a ocean of muscle that put champion bodybuilders to shame.

Re: REC DEC # 8

Kira had been spending far to much time working down in the shop getting things fixed up after the battle and decided now was the time to get some food up on the rec dec, upon getting off the lift she made her way over.

as she passed a few tables she saw Vaka and Meari and decided to join them at the table, "Hello there Meari was it? heard you got injured hows the wound healing?" she also gave a small smile and wave to Vaka.

”Bless her, she hadn’t had her coffee yet and was still half asleep...which made for a novel change as that’s usually me!” Izzy giggled as she moved herself a little closer to Lizzy ”...the small bed isn’t a problem as we both like to cuddle, but we could really do another wardrobe or three, especially with shore leave coming up” she said, fully expecting another shopping trip when they hit Everest.

It was around about the time they were discussing Sam’s relationship with Steve Howe and how she wasn’t sure whether they an item or simply friends with benefits that the man in question walked past and gave them a quick wave ”Well he’s not blanking you so that’s a good thing” she quietly said giving Howe a smile and a fingerwave as he passed them ”Perhaps the more important question is do you want you and him to be a thing? I mean he’s not bad looking... for a man” she giggled, before turning her back to the question Sam had asked her before they had become distracted by the lovely Lt Howe ”Well I’d hardly describe myself as being gungho... I released the interview I did with Lizzy last night so that should be hitting the news fairly soon, and I’ve re-started work on my piece about Hermes pilots...out of interest did you ever manage to make anything of that file I sent you?”

Re: REC DEC # 8

 Meari smiled at Vaka, she was really beginning to really like him, and respect him. No one should be put down or held back because of their family background or their size. Meari had the opposite problem Vaka did, even for a female Udenese she was tall, and was always made fun of because her her height. Her family name was the opposite of Vaka's being Lilit's grandmod made the expectations must higher and the training much harder, so meari had an idea of what Vaka was going through, and Meari had also lost her Mother and never really knew her Father. Well Meari decided if anyone picked on her new friend they would have to deal with her.

 Kia then joined them and she answered," Hello Chief, yes it is Meari, it is a pleasure to officially meet you, I have had the pleasure of seeing you and your Mech, umm kick ass I do believe how you say it. Yes those damn One Eyed Jack blade weapons got me, Sgt. Call saved me, if he didnt hit the guy my wounds would have been much worse. I tried the tunnel run today and I couldnt do it, hopefully I will be fully healed soon."

 Meari cleaned everything up and then said," I have to meet Slick, or I think I just need to pick up my power armor suit. You know P.O. Slick do you not, should i trust my life to his designs?"

”Among many other things, yeah... I’m having girl trouble” Harry quietly responded as she stared into what was left of her rapidly cooling cup of tea. She still wasn’t sure where exactly she stood with Lizzy, she’d never been very good at holding a grudge but on the other hand she didn’t think she would ever be able to trust her again.

She then nodded some more, "He wouldn't do it if he didn't think it would protect you out in the field, so i think its a safe bet but its always a gamble when you are playing with something new"

Uvuvu moved towards the small occuli.  Arriving in time to hear him ask for another coffee.  "I am in time then." She smiled with her shark like teeth "I am Uvuvu, 3rd in charge of Gava on Hermes.  Jug is our leader, Bog is second in command of squad" She gestured  with the drink in her hand.  She then handed him one of the coffee drinks she had.  "We over hear about you liking coffee.  I like coffee too.  There is a place in the civie section that makes much coffee drinks.  This is one I like, I offer one in friendship and hope you like too" again she smiled her toothy smile.  "We also hear about how your people treat you, we not treat you like that here.  For our size we work on ideas and points that make our stature and ..what is the human word?.... yes 'attributes' most see as failure become our strength.  You are about our size, we use Occuli boarding armor.  Train with us and we help you become a much skilled warrior.  Correct, Meari?"  She knew that Meari had seen them work as pairs, and as an entire team as well as solo.  She sipped from her own coffee concoction.

 Lizzy smiled as Izzy and Sam spoke, she giggled when Izzy told the story of her trying to get on Izzy's poor blouse. " Yeah I started to button it and it did not fit over my boobs, like she said, no coffee and half asleep. Yes the bed isnt that small she just likes to hog it all." Lizzy giggles and then adds," So I heard Lt. Howe was seeing someone, I have seen you together, he is a very good pilot and he loves going after those ground targets." This is when Howe walked by and waved, Lizzy waved back.

 Lizzy smiled and added," Well yeah he is very good looking for a guy. Well hey just have fun and I hope they go well for you both." Izzy then started to talk about work, and the interview she did with Lizzy. Lizzy just stayed silent, as flashes of her Father being eaten alive by the plasma haunted her again.

"Later gators" she said to Billie and Arnie leaving.  "I had planned on painting my mantis.  Maybe Haley and Roll want to hang with the largs or the new one Thor...he is soooo cute.  What is on tap for you today O' Hunka man O' mine" she asked Mitch almost done with the last of his fries.


Hearing there was an upcoming football game Haley clapped.  She was not a big fan, but it was something akin to going into town and seeing a parade.  For a moment she ran over to Shade and seemingly out of nowhere gave him an excited hug "I may not get the chance, but I know you like to hit the other men and make them spin....so wanted to wish you a lot of twirling when you play" she smiled.  Then like quicksilver she was off playing again.

 Sam smiled she was so happy for Izzy, and Lizzy. She replied," Well at least it was just a blouse and not armor or something that could have hurt you Lizzy. I can see Izzy stealing the whole bed, and yes I can imagine with both of your clothes you could use a lot more closet space, but you guys will adapt I know you will."

 Sam smiled at Lizzy and blushed ," Yes we are seeing each other, and I am not sure exactly where I want things to lead to know. He helped me so much, in accepting my scas as a part of me, and I was strong enough to survive and not hide them or feel ashamed of them." Sam smiled when she saw Howe walk by and wave, she waved back, and would comm text him in a little bit.

 Sam listened and replied to Izzy," Oh that is great I cant wait to see Lizzy's interview, I bet that was a little tough, but I am glad it was you Izzy doing the interview with Lizzy."
Sam looked at Lizzy and it looked like she was in deep thought, or a daydream, Sam never knew her parents maybe in this war that was a good thing.

 Sam smiled," Well keep up the great work, and dont let this wonderful lady here take you away from doing a great job ok Izzy. As a matter of fact I hit quite a big deep end on that, when I have more time I might look into it deeper but through proper channels."

 Sam didnt want to lie but she couldn't tell Izzy the full truth yet, until she learned more, and got permission she did not want to make bad waves. Sam then said," So what are you ladies planning on doing on Everest?" Sam wanted to change the subject quickly but not be obvious about it.

”It’s not a matter of holding a grudge, I just don’t think I can trust her anymore” Harry explained with a bit of a shrug knowing that even if she and Lizzy managed to patch things up that they would probably never be as close as they had been. It was then that he would point out how easy it was to spot EDT agents at which point she would offer him a cool look ”Oh do enlighten me on how easy it is to spot EDT agents because I don’t seem to have the knack for it” she said in a dangerous voice, which considering her track record with EDT agents was probably to be expected.

 Meari smiled at Vaka, and then Uvuvu came over, Meari smiled as she talked, introduced herself to Vaka, and gave him a special looking coffee. As Uvuvu talke dto Vaka, Meari thought it would be great for Vaka to train and learn from the Gava there where fierce warriors as well. Meari was caught off guard and replied," Yes I think that is a great idea for Vaka to get some tips and train with you and the rest of the Gava, and Vaka they are very skilled warriors, they use great team work to take down bigger and stronger foes. Maybe we could all train and you could practice on me?"

 It was getting late and Meari wanted to go see her armor, she stood up and said," Uvuvu, Kira good to see you both, and Vaka it was a pleasure, and if you would like I would love to watcht he agme with you on Everest, too bad I wont be going to the ball I am not a Officer, only female officer's being invited this time. Good day everyone."

Roy gave Larry a pat when the larg nudged him, and nodded.  Larry had his own 'people' to look after...

With the breakfast group breaking up, Roy finished his 'garbage hash' in very business-like fashion and headed for Security, to double-check personnel records on some of the newer people and come up with a Security rotation during the duration of their stay at Everest, so that most of his people would get some time on the station.

He also started looking up information on the individual that Lt. Quis had mentioned to him as deserving a Lights Out visit...he didn't doubt the lieutenant's words, but more information on a target always made it easier to deal with.  He also sent off a quick note to his opposite number on Everest...the Marine officer who had informed him that a Lights Out intervention was warranted during his very first visit to Everest...inquiring as to the state of illumination on the station in general...after all, security was easier to maintain with adequate lighting...
