EVEREST # #
It took a good 20 Minutes to get everyone accounted for. Larry and Gregor Flanked the horde as Mila was Up front with henry and Val
The Big Ugly sat down on the coast road, SEC troopers from the aircraft stopped out to signal hover cares to Go around, or , well over" the craft.
Not far away, a Herems Assault shuttle Landed with a Bunch of largs piling out as well more troop sec Troopers.
By the Time the Horde from the hotel arrived, they saw the 200 some kids,, all dressed in beachwear with thier own towels and hats, , some med techs from the fleet volunteered to hlp watch over the group as well.. it was plain to see some of the kids were still limping around , from thier treatment at the hands of the slavers, But no one of them wasn't smiling... standing on the Grass, casting glances towards the water, the kids eagerly awaited the word to go... Shadow Leaped up on the nose of the Big Ugly scrambling like a Naragran until he reached the top.. some ooohhhhs from the kids as they watched Him.. they linked his com to the BU's PA horns...
Hello!... I am LC Kray Shadow.. you all can just call me LC!..i will call out names of people and they will raise thier hands.. you all have to know these people, and listen to them, or? we'll have to take you back to the ship , for your own safety!...
Kids started to Listen
Admiral Hack..Admiral Hennings, Captain Si, SM Spencer..Ambassador Shade.. Master Chief Mullins...LT Murrow...Doc Henry Chief Med tech Stefi..,,if something goes wrong..or you need help..you come see us.... if you can see any of us..just go to the nearest Adult on the beach..they are all 'our people' even if they might be from another ship
Now? Rules.... there were groans from the kids.
NO!!!.. You need Rules...Rules will keep you safe, and help you to have fun?.. You will all be here..all day, until around 9:00PM, then everyone goes back to where they came from..and ...you'll all do it again tomorrow!
Cheers.....
Now? look up and down the Beach.. You will see Red Lights on temporary Fences... no kids can go past that...why?.. because we have a little over a Mile of the ebach to oursleves.. we don't need to hog anymore!..and?..if some one comes in side that fence, that wasn't invited.. we can deal with them...
The Largs.... they are friendly to us...not so much to bad guys... if some one comes to try to give you trouble, and you can't find an adult.. you run towards the nearest Larg...or? Mila.. she may look cuddlier then the Largs..but bad guys are afraid of her too!
all of you sued to belong to Packs...and? I understand that... I grew up in a palce were there were street punks and Gangs and Bad guys with weapons.... but right now?.. Your Pack is everyone you see here.. You are part of the 'ESN' pack... and , When Commadore McKeon takes you to Bura.. you will be on the greenest, bluest planet you have ever seen, and you will belong to the Bura Pack! And..still, be a Member of the ESN pack!...
Now... when I say go.. you may all run down to the beach... put you towels and hats and stuff somewhere , where you can find it.. don't go past the Blue bobbers in the water...There are stalls set up with food and drinks.... you can have food or drinks..whenever you want...but here is the Big Rules.... 1...you can take what you want..but eat what you take..... rule two..put the garbage in the Bins...and three?.. not one of you..NONE!... go digging in the bins... those days are over.. you get real food, that you pick out
he smiled as the Kids Grinned....GO!
the Kids cheered and ran towards the beach spreading towels and hats and shoes in a pile to come back to later..
Hack Laughed..... That invasion would put the Drop ship troopers to shame!
Shadow slid down the Bow of the Big Ugly gettign his towel and thigns from Shade.. ..Can was walkign slow...
hey?.. what's wrong Little Buddy?
..no one really wants to play with me...I was 'serted by my pack...
Shadow looked over at Roll... Roll came over....Roll was a Bit shy too..but now he has all kinds of buddies.... and?.. lets get you caught up to the Others...
Shadow dropped his stuff, Picked Can up and Held him high in the air and sprinted to the beach.. Can squealed and Started to Giggle as they reached the wave of Kids ..
when they reached the beach , Shadow didn't stop until they were a yard or so from the water.. he put the giggling Can down and some of the kids from the BU came over and started to talk with him.. Shadow fuzzed his ehad and Can smiled as he began to talk with the other kids.. some of the older kids were splashing in the water..other kids were digging in the sand.. Music started to play , from a certain Vid-J who just got his stuff back from SEC..
Shade gave Shadow a thumbs up and handed him his stuff.. all the adults , more or less clustered around the Middle ... some folks on leave went to the far end to relax, and let the kids have the secyion of beach they claimed,
largs dove into the water , swimming like green-blue torpedoes ..
Thor and Tess sat near the edge of the water, Thor getting knocked down as waves hit from passing boats and the 'wave machine' the seas used to keep a 'current' moving along with the endless cycling of water through the station's systems.
Disna and Puskie sat in the sat Near Tess to help keep watch on Thor. thier Godlen skins getting darker as the sun hit them
