(( from  Etna shore leave , after Funnel))

 The shuttles   where pulling in, dropping folks off at the bottom of the ramps, having them walk up the   personnel gangway to get checked in, while  other SEC  folks  watch the unloading of supplies  and the  directions they would Go.

 Harry, Izzy  and  6 other SEC folks headed to  drop off thier   baggage  and suit up for thier   watch.

  Three  recruits stepped off the   shuttle, walking up the Ramp way A Felrite SGT  met them, COMing  Izzy and   Harry  to  the ramp.

  You two will be  goign  with these three   transfers, there is a  transport  out near the  Paradise  fleet, that you will be  boarding.  your  job will be  to Monitor  the  COM  traffic  of the  Angel fleet, You will leave now, By the Admiral's orders... you take only what you have with you, other equipment  you  will be needing, is already being on the Transport. The Admiral  will be  sending you  recall when your Op is finished....

 The three transfers, Two younger humans  and an Occui boarded  a  supply shuttle   that was on the hanger dec, Izzy and Harry   boarded, and were  sent  off to do thier job.

<=== Etna somewhere

Nikki and Mitch had joined Val and Can to the Hermes.  Poor Haley was totally exhausted  as her cheek laid on Nikkis shoulder.  Before going to her quarters and Putting Haley to be, she would check Roll and to see how Gregor was doing.

to bio-lab med.

  Shuttles  were   moving in...shuttles  Unloading  people   stayed close to the  dec, those returning to the station  were above. Shuttles  and VAns  , unloading  Goods who moved up the  Bow-most ramp, or Middle  ramp, Leaving  the  sternmost ramp and the gang way for  people.

    a stack of  boxes  wrapped in plastic was taken to   Bio-tech  and left in the hall, with a  Note that it was a  Gift 'from Zob'

a  Van was unloading the  trunks  from Shadow's Condo, returning them to the  QMs, where the   staff would  check the weapons and clean what was  needed, and refill the grenade cases.

 Civies  that came back early, looked happy  and tired. There was no way of  Knowing what  the Gamma  Quad  held  for them, or  what shape  Matterhorn was in

 Most folks felt  confident that Admiral Van Ros would  crack down, even more then  Admiral Richards , but there were always  'pot holes' to fill.

---->>>>>> From Etna 1003

 Meari walked off one of the shuttles in her combat gear as she was a body guard for the meeting. Meari nodded at everyone and checked in where she had to check in. Meari looked around to see who was on board yet, but she wanted to check on Frakas.

 Meari then decided to head to her quarters and change before she did anything else.

---->>> To NCO Quarters.

    so it was.  A Military shuttle  with the Markings of the Paradise  Fleet showed up. The pilot  was ready to  enter the shuttle  bay doors, when  Several Hermes SEC  stopped them   , pointing to the   far end of the docking arm,

 LT Hirr and LT NE-LC, Felrite and Bluemoon Angel, followed the shuttle to the  end of the cocking arm,  LT Hirr , who was senior, waved  for the ramp to come down,

 I am Being, Lt  Hirr... this is being LT NE-CL..we  are Hermes  SEC and  belonging to the  boarding and ground troops... you will all  come  down the  ramp with your bags...and be standing   at attention... if you are not making me   and LT  NE-LC happy, then you will be getting aboard  shuttle to go else where..but not be coming on The Hermes.

 You will be  getting the talkign to , By  LC Shadow  and   SM Spenser I will be telling you this  now. Do not be the stupid person..stupid  persons  walk back to thier ships.....We  will be wanting  the pilots to stand there..and the    Troopers to stand there..let  us see how you do, with  such simple  instructions

to the left the Pilots  Lined  up

LT  ZI-RE (M)
LT FA-LN (F) Blue moon
LT CO-NO (M)
LT EG-ER (M)  Blue Moon
LT SA-LE (F)
LT GR-NE (M)
LT FO-TE (M)

to the right, lined up the troopers.

Corp Morry Nelson (H,M )
Corp Tommy Mix ( H,M)
Corp Chala Nusta (H,F)
SGT ZU-KA (M)
SGT TO-NE (F)
SGT  WA-NA (F, Blue Moon)
SGT KR-TE (M)
SGT MU-NO (M, Blue Moon)
SGT LA-PO (M)
SGT YO-SE (F Blue Moon)

 NE-LC looked over the  transfers as they lined up...he pointed at the three  Humans......you wear  the Black of   our enemies....

 Corp Morry said,SIR!...it is the only uniform for Humans  in the Paradise  Fleet. Sol System wears the Red...Sirs!

 Hirr  gave a  Cat-like  snarl,...then there is only  2 things that will be happening from you?.... You will  either  be  wearing ESN  Blue , or  you will be going else where then here,,,

n Chala spoke up, her thick  African accent,..This is  the only  way  to get into the war, Yah ? I did not want to wear the red of the Sol System...but here is no more recruiting  on Earth or  its Sol System Colonies  for the ESN...all academies  are now run Byt the SSN, as are the training Camps... Very few  are Lucky enough...

a side eye from SGT LA-PO causes  Chala to stop.

 NE-LC stepped up...You may not be Hermes  yet..but you are on our docking arm..speak freely.

 The  Corp , looks  down at  her Boots, then remembers herself and stands at atention...Begging your pardon  , LC....I was saying..Very few are lucky enough to  meet up with  those fighting against the EDT and  occupying  Empire forces.... those that do, tend to stay and fight the good fight on Earth..we....

another Side  eye from LA=PO

 Hirr took her  Cat snarl into the   Face of  LA-PO...if you be having the problems  with  the corp's  discourse. You may leave now....otherwise, do not  try to intimidate her speaking...this is, one of the stupid  things, i have mentioned...you do not want to do  stupid  things when the LC  and SM  arrive, they are not very  fond of the stupid things...or..stupid persons..

 NE-LC  nodded to Chala.

 The black woman stood a bit straighter now,..WE.... have   privateers in the Sol System that are taking troopers and  ship's crew... they were augmented by people from the EMS who volunteered to, become a harassment  fleet, of sorts...We captured  transports  and get supplies,  both for  our ships, and to be smuggled  down to earth for the  main pockets of resistance ..I will not lie..it is going badly on Earth... The Lights Out units  are hitting the Empire and EDT hard, but they are isolated...

 LT  Hirr  looked over the  group, the shuttle pilot wanted to leave, but she would not let him, until it was decided  who was going to Stay


 COMing   Shadow  and Roy,  LT HIrr said,I am sorry to be bothering you, but  we have the transfers on the docking arm... i am  of thinking, that we  should  decide   whom we wish to take, after you look them over..is it being Possible for your to return early/

Nic spent most of the morning sleeping in after Harry left and then finally got up and got a shower in. He packed up his stuff and headed for one of the shuttles heading back to the Hermes. Once back on board, he dropped his stuff back in his quarters and changed into his duty uniform before heading back down to the Hanger.

There he started looking over his assigned fighter starting at the nose and going over it carefully while the new ones were directed elsewhere.

Shadow and friends, from beach<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    The shuttle   landed the Ramp  came   down..Largs  filed out,  moving up the ramp,  Shadow  sent  a sleepy Thor  up the  ramp  with a whap on the backside, Tess waiting at the top for him.

 Pointing to   on of the newer troopers  he shouted,Tell The QM you need  my weapons  Belt and Blade... the trooper Vanished into the bowls of the hanger Dec.

 Larry  followed  Shadow  as the T-shirt and  swimtrunks  , LC  walked towards LT Hirr  and LT NE-CL

 Orria  went up  as Shade  followed  as well,To  Zob,Shadow said,This should be fun, we'll see if  The SM  makes it, before  we start to sort them out,

 Nic saw the   new fighters  aboard, all the old fighters were taken to either be, refurbished  for home defesne of the station...sold to Mercs who had   fighter Capable  hanger decs...or used for parts.

 The   ground crews that came back early from their rotation on shore leave, had Sprayed   the ESN Blue  on Flight  A  and Flight B, as they were setting up for  Flight C..

Argie was on a  mobile ladder, painting on Shadow's  19, on the  only   'white tail fin' in on the ship...other   WC of other ships were adopting this, but  their Tail Fins  were  Light Blue.

 one of the  ground  crew team from C flight looked at  Nic,we're starting on  C Flight now?...You can paint  your nose  art, about  30 minutes   after  we  spray it  down,

Zob still had his gear from before he left the condo so he didn't need anything further in terms of gear from the QM, "You got it well in hand Shadow I'm just here as *emotional support*" Zob laughed at that statement as he took the SMG off his hip holster.

  Shadow  Pointed to a Grounds crew keeper who was setting up   the spraygun for C-Flight..YO!...Get a  Trooper to go to QMs. My weapons Belt is  in  my crate, Please have some one  bring it to me...ASAP..

 The Crewman put the gun down and ran into the bowels of the Hanger Dec, While Shadow in his  Surfer Shorts  and   White Hermes  T-shirt approached   Recruits.

 LT  Hirr  snapped to,LC is being on Dec!

 one of the  Black uniformed   folks  stayed  'at rest'..none of the Angels  stood to.

  Shadow  sighed  Looked back at Zob .At lease...Except you Paradise Angels  one  Mr  hard of hearing , in that fancy Black Vicrock  uniform...you folks  can stand to...

 LT  ZI-RE spoke up...You are out of Uniform  LC,  which means you are not On Duty  which means...

 Shadow strode over to  ZI-RE...which Means..LT.... he looked at the  name tag,..ZI-RE..that you will shut the fuck up.....SEC people are always on duty.. i am somewhat, attached to the Hermes SEC... wearing a uniform, or street clothes?..never helped or harmed me, killing folks  or kicking asses of Idiots  who think they more  then i do about life on The ESN 351  Hermes, and seem to think it  is  quite  alright to speak out, with out permission

 there was nervous shifts  and eye shifts from all the transfers. Shadow turned his back on ZI-RE, walked to  stand a step in front of  Zob, then pivoted  around.

 This is  SGT Zob... he has  a formal Name, but i get to call him Zob. As you ...very intelligent  folks might  notice, Zob is of the demon persuasion . He had a damn hard road to  fit in here..but he took it... he's been shot,  and he has shot people.. He one of the  few i would trust with My Life, The Life of  my  Son... his hand  waved to the  Undenese Ambassador   , who bleeped and waved...Shortly The SM  will arrive, he has been on this vessel  since  we cast off... the simple fact that he and I are still alive, speaks volumes  of  Trust..

  There are  3  things that are going to happen, once you walk up that ramp....1.... YTu will be expected to treat  anyone on this Vessel with respect, that includes  Civies.... we have Civies on board, that  have more combat time... in ..THIS...war then all of you combined...

all the Angels  Bristled at this, shifted  a bit  , with  frowns.

 Captain Morris, when he returns,  will set your quarters up... The LTs  will be on my Dec... Noncoms  have their own Dec... You will report to the red Dec  for  one meal and a drink on me....after that? you're on your own...

 Larry snorted...This  is  SGT LArry..he leads  the   unit of Largs..anyone  seen vids of out battles, or watch Captain Lighting, or  even that CGI   vids  of 'Hermes Heroes"..have seen  Largs in action...nothing..not one damn thing, can prepare you for the devastation angry Largs  can  co....

 That brings me to the 3rd thing, Tunnel runs.... We  run the  maintenance Tulles   , just about the Officer's  dec... 3 mile  loop... we run 1 or  2 laps..depending  on why we are  running... YOU WILL  show up for that  at 0600 ships time tomorrow morning, in , whatever gear your wear for jump offs.

ZI-RE  asks for permission to speak.Angels  do not  do Unnecessary  conditioning, we are the perfect specimens and...

 Shadow  shook his head  with a bit of a grin   as he held his hands  behind him, a trooper was  running down the ramp to hand  Shadow his weapons  belt, Hirr stopped the trooper when he reached her.

  when he reached ZI-RE..he looked up at the fellow who was 4 or 5 inches  taller...You see , NE-LC ?  He runs...LT AZ-EL  runs..HE-LA   runs, DR-NO  runs, and Captain Si  Runs...

sarcasticly ZI-RE said,Begging your pardon, LC. But those you have  mentioned are Moon Angels, Green Angels or a trollop who has taken up with a Hu.....

 If ZI-RE ever Saw the  fist, his reactions  were way slow. The Angel fell into his fellow  pilots...LT FA-LN, stepped back and  let ZI-RE  hit the Dec, she looked  at  Shadow, a  faint smile on her face as she simply said...'oops'

  Shadow stood over ZI-RE as the Angel's eyes   rolled  around, and arms   reached for things that we're there.

Zob racked back the SMG and walked over to where ZI-RE was laying and stomped full force on the angels arm that was trying to reach for something with a sickening crunch, "What you are reaching for better be a sandwich cause you are gonna have to eat it... learn the lesson now and stop being stupid or ill feed you to my Pirloc"

Nic stopped what he was doing when the crewman spoke and nodded. "Thanks. Only concern I really have is this fighter is not screwed up. Imagine that they double and triple checked them before letting on dec. And since you are going to work on this, I will get out of your way. Thank you again."

About that point he happened to glance over to see Shadow standing over a downed angel and the Zob making damn well sure the angel stayed down. He grimaced a little. Why was there a total lack of respect considering all the recordings and Shadow's own actions that said if you didn't stand down, he'd make you stand down. Common sense really wasn't common and it showed up everywhere.

  The  Grounds crew man  smiled a bit  at Nic,These are new LT,, fresh off the Lower's assembly line.. we havn't had  fresh ones  since  Fuji...Everest gave us  'lightly used' aircraft...

 Looking down the Rampway to the docking arm, where the transfers were getting their 'welcome"..

  Glad  i'm not  an officer, they gotta  sort out   which of those folks are good gys  or bad Guys...or..just plain dumb...

 Red  water was  at the  end of the  flight light, closest to the ramp way. He sipped on a coffee  waiting to paint his nose  art and check out the machine. The  Crate he sat on contained Gatling Cannon rounds.

 ..White Shadow, does not  handle  disrespect, to  others, very well...it will be interesting to see where these people end up.

  Looking the others, he stopped for a moment  before thanking the trooper  who brought his belt, and strapped it on, the large Sanri  and knuckled guarded trench knife ,looking out of  place  with surfer shorts and a t-shirt.

 How many of you are from the Moons?

 LT  FA-LN, LT  EG-ER,SGT WA-NA, SGT MU-NO, And  SGT YO-SE, raised thier hands...

  And you Vounteered...why?

 FA-LN spoke up.....The Moons  are Building   thier own fleet... we joined the Paradise  Fleet when they come out of .....hiding. So we  could train, and take that trainign back to the Moons with us...failing that, fighting   in the Delta Flieet, will add our   system.

 Shadow looked at them  as  the Blare of a Big Ugly sounded...

 dammit.... You!! Shuttle jock, go home.. we'll deal with the transfers, that   BU  has  things to unload...all of you.. up the   ramp and line up  at the second door.. SGT ZOB, if you would be so kind, as to escort the dazed, LT  ZI-RE ?

 the shuttle  pilot didn't waste  any time getting away from  Shadow and His  demon friend..., the Big uglu  sat  down on the  docking arm , taking up  the  who width...

The QM  Came  down, watching Shadow    with the recruits, shaking his  head, He looked at the Manifest, then whistled for  'tracked;  forklifts  to  come down and  unload..8 , very large  crates , were the first to   be Unloaded,  wwitht he tracked  forklift straining,  and the over head cranes  helping pull them all the way to  the back of the hanger.

 FA-LN said,Those are, our fighters... with one  extra, for you, WC...

 Shadow snorted,we'll see what they are like.... But  i won't  fly  something the rest of my people aren't flying

Zob looked down at the angel and let out an annoyed grunt and grabbed the angel by the shattered arm and dragged him easily up the ramp not caring one bit of what further damage he was causing to the man before tossing him in line with the others, "Cause trouble and you will be fighting this war from a permanent hover chair..."

Then one of the hanger dec crew offered him a cup of coffee he thanked them and leaned back and took a sip as he looked over the group.

   A Limo pulled up , but  couldn't get too  close  because of the  BU  parked  at the  the middle and Stern  Hanger bays.

 The Officers   stepped out ,carrying their own  bags. The Admiral  Stopped  , dropping his back out of the way, making his way towards Shadow  Zob and the recurits,   LT  ZI-RE  was bent over holding his   arm.

 LT Hirr  shouted,..the Admiral is being on DEC!.

 As your were.... something  wrong  with that Pilot, LC?

 there was a  clash of views, Admiral Hack, Sir... it caused him to fall, and SGT Zob accidently stepped on his  arm as he rushed to help him up...

 Hacks  eyes shifted to   LT  NE-LC.....is that true  , LT?

 aye?...Roughly Admiral, Sir..perhaps a bit  was left out,, but that is the Crux of It..

 hmmmm..... He walks  towards the  groups, troopers on one side, pilots on the other.... I bet you're all thinking how  bad this is?.... and what you can do about it? Well folks? there isn't one damn thing you can do.... IF...and its a damn big if, considering where you came from..... IF..you stay  on this ship, You will walk talk and act as ESN   crew, or  at very least APF  Crew... All you Angels?  you best forget your  superiority issues, now...else  wwise  a pick  a few Hermites, and they will show you the error of your waays.... The LC and  SM handle   the crew under therr umbrella... Captain Morris   ties that all together...and ..ANYONE.... and  i mean ANYONE..the LC or SM tell you, that you have to follow..by all the gods that ever were..you will follow that person...Now, seeing how one of you idiots  , already had a 'slip and fall'..i expect there to be more...do yourself a favor, tow the line, follow orders, and Kill the enemies of the APF...Good Luck, See you at the tunnel run...

 The Captain and   Admiral went back to thier  bags , to make their way to their  quarters


the PA systems announced...ALL SHPRE LEAVE IS NOW OVER....RECALL  IN 58 MINUTES 43 SECONDS ..THAT IS ALL>>

 Morry Nelson  raised a Had,..The Admiral watches us  run?

 No Corp, he doesn't. he and the Board  run with us...they run pretty hard, but they aren't trying to prove anyhting, they don't have to..all of you, will be trying to prove, that you belong here.

Nic snorted. "Glad I don't have to do that myself and I am a officer. I think till otherwise, they are all dumb till they show their 'colors'. Some sooner than others." That angel that had gotten a welcome stomp was one of the dumb ones.

"Be nice to get a fresh fighter. Mine took a few hits last time," he said and gave a nod before heading towards Red Water.

"From what I saw, that is very accurate and you've known him a lot longer. He also tends to hold on to things for a long time," he said to man. "Sorta glad he didn't lump me in with the rest of the Hemidal morons." That would have been quite easy to do.

Roy's taxi arrived shortly behind the Admiral's limo, with him making quick, even strides up the ramp.  His eyes immediately fell on the scene...Shadow, in his beach wear and weapons belt; Zob, holding up an obviously injured Angel who was ripening one hell of a bruise on his face; and the assorted troopers with a variety of expressions on their faces...it didn't take long to hypothesize how things were going so far.

"I see you've begun the cranial-rectal extraction process," he quipped to Shadow, looking over the lot of them...his expression visibly darkening as he took in the black uniforms.  "What have we got?" he asked, looking at Shadow and Hirr.

  Red water looked  up and smiled, I know him form old  days.  He trteated me better then most. He put me , before himself.  Not an easy thing to do in the academy workings....

 Looking up  he adds,A fighter Pilot is like a Hunter, No? You miss your  chance  at prey, that prey, could  come back on you, or, kill someone  close to you...Showing disrespect to those  he cares about, breaks  his trust, like a try twig...showing disrepect to him, makes you  and enemy...

 Machins  clears his  throat, he  has a bottle of soda and sets his  bag down, now that the recruits were on the .

  Red Water  , has the right of  it..to a point. He'll help  folks out, even those who he might not ....overly like? But you throw that in his face? Or prove that you were not worth that aid. ...boy... are you in for a hurtin'...

he takes a look at the ramp  way  as more  and more folks  come home...there  are  very few people on this  boat, or  maybe the fleet? who won't  follow him. He's  what Hemsly calls  him a 'proper Bastard'..some type of  compliment?

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

  Shadow turned to  Roy,Well, I got me  7 Angels,  those two are  from the Blue  moon...  the two angels raised thier hands.

  you got 3 humans in Black... and 7 Angels..those  3  are from the  Blue Moon.. The  one who had the 'slip and Fall'..seems to think our Captain, is less  a woman, ebcause she chose a Human  as her mate...didn't  quite say it  like that, his mouth was interupted by a fist..

 The Admiral  arrives,  says  his piece, before leaving the  transfer to the Tender  mercies  of the three  who are  'welcomign them'

 LA-PO, one of the Angel SGTs  looked at Roy......your LC?.. He struck LT  ZI-RE..he is  our senior offcier of this group... are there not charges to be filed.?

Roy gave La-Po a measured stare before responding.  "Correct me, if I'm wrong, but you volunteered to join the Hermes, yes?  Because if you did, 'senior officer of our group' means jack shit.  There are a select few aboard this ship who have a 'senior officer of their group', and it's because they joined up AS A GROUP, not as a pack of volunteers.  The Felrites have their own officers.  The Scots have their own officers.  Everyone else?"  He gestured around the deck.

"Even the Burians that joined didn't join as a Burian detachment...they joined the Hermes.  So, if you're serious about this assignment, get that 'our senior officer' bullshit shoveled out the static field right now.  Your senior officers are the Hermes officers...including that sarcastic bastard, right there."  He gestured at Shadow, barely pausing to do so.

"And if, as LC Shadow has so delicately explained, this particular dumbass had the temerity to cast aspersions on his new captain's honor, then he's lucky that he just got a crack on the head.  I mean, if we're getting nitpicky about regulations, demeaning your commanding officer could be grounds for insubordination.  You really sure you want to open the door on a full investigation into who did what and who should be punished for it?  Because I'm pretty sure none of us are real interested in anyone here starting their tour of duty on the Hermes with a week in the brig, but I'm getting the impression real fast that some of you could use the down time to read up on proper etiquette regarding your chain of command."

He stepped up squarely in front of La-Po, and while he had to look up slightly because of the Angel's height, he somehow managed to look as though he was looking down.  "Or perhaps you want to file charges because your flimsy Angel ego can't handle the fact that a human bitch-slapped your buddy there without even mussing up his own hair.  You already saw that you can't physically intimidate us, so now you're gonna try and hide behind regulations that you don't even understand and hope those can beat up on us instead.  That what you're hoping for, sergeant?  Have the humans' own regulations put us in our place, since you can't do the job yourself?"

 LA-PO looked as near angry, as  an Angel could be, without down right  snarling.We were told  the Barbaric Customs of your kind, might need changed  a  bit. his eyes shifted to  Zob, then back to Roy...You have a Demon in  our Midst....and you dare to question us? or even  Humans who have  the  dark Uniforms?

 ZI-RE looked at Shadow...when may i go to Med tech....

 as soon as we are done here?..you'll either be going  to See Stefi.... or you'll be going  to  Etna Lower  med tech, Since your fleet was sent from the field like lazy supply Troops.  this caused  ZI-RE to look a bit angry.

   There was  some laughter  as Hemsly, Brooks and Lyri arrived. Lyri , fresh off of making sure  The Board arrived  safely .

  For those  of you who survive the interview, take note of those  three  who are enjoying your uncomfort... Master Chief  Lyri is the Command  Master Chief..she is second, Only to   SGT Major Spencer... those  other  two  fellows are  from the Scots, they are  Demo-techs  and Mountaineers....Don't  mess with  any of them....

 he pointed across the   towards the stern but..more or less behind them, where  Machins, Redwater and Nic  were...a Lanky  young  fellow wa had a mask on , getting  ready to  spray the last fighter in line...In fact...don't mess with anyone who is  Hermes...That  guy right there? distinguished, himself  on the hanger Dec a few times, One time standing on the Captain's  wing of her fighter, and killing  boarder with a gods be damned 6 foot  prybar, and not wearing armor.

  The looked to the fellow, who dropped the spray guy, and got  sprayed  on the Chest..he  quickly picked it up, looking  around  and went back to spraying.

The Human Trooper, Corp Tommy Mix was grinning,I find that hard to believe, LC.... I mean...look at him....

Shadow turned  his head  to stare at Corp Mix.I guess its  just  in how you view things... There  are two troopers  here, who were stem kids... they joined up   one tok the long way around, from  Olympus  to here..the other joined up when he and his 'pack'  were brought aboard... both of them together, have  faced more enemies  then you have in your life times.....That Dec Tech?  He joined because he ran into some  Ladies on shore leave, and joined  up that day...he has never  failed to follow orders, he has never failed  his shipmates, and he always.....always..shows  respect  to those who ship with him...living, or dead..

 Pointing to the crates, Shadow says,when those are put together,  You pilots  are coming down here  with me, to go over specs, and  we  will have a bit of a wargame, once  we clear  station space...to see if those things  are worth taking up space..

 The   others shifted nervously, Chala said  in a bit of  dark tone,you said we would  be getting ESN unifroms... why cannot  we wear or  Vicrock Uniforms, since  we are allied with  The Paradise system...

 Because... people in enemy uniforms, are not permitted to walk around our  ship... The LC's eyes  studied   each and every recruit, though, with Roy there, he did  spend  more time  with the pilots. He waited for Roy to  finish up his  inspection.

In reply to hanger (msg # 200):

Zob casually set down his coffee before walking over directly in front of LA-PO and socked him hard in the face with a haymaker before walking back to where he was standing earlier and continued sipping his coffee.

 LA-PO   staggered back, He was Caught  By  KR-TE.. The  'punished' Angel   was, much like  ZI-RE  before, trying  to  recover from the blow.

 ...you allow  such actions? KR-TE asks , looking from Roy to  the LC...

 what actions?.. I must have been daydreaming...did i miss something?

 ------>>>> From Beaches

 Sam walked onto the Hanger Dec with Howe, she gave him a kiss and said, I need to talk to the SM Steve, and look they are breaking in new recriuts.

 Sam smiled and headed over to Roy the SM, she watched and waited for the right time to talk to him. Technically she was about to become a new Hermes recruit.  Sam was still wearing her bikini with see through covering so her scars where easily seen by the pompous angels.
