Lizzy smiled at Izzy for trying to get her accent down, it was easy for her she has spoken this way since she was a kid in South Boston also known as Southie. Lizzy got on a duty uniform and then they went out to get food and coffee. Lizzy took Izzy's hand and they got in line for LC's breakfast. Lizzy got a decent bowl of eggs, and bacon, some toast and a large cup of black coffee.

 Lizzy said to the LC and the group, " Good morning all everyone, did everyone have a good shore leave and having an LC breakfast to finish it off is just perfect." Lizzy smiled and Izzy and her looked for a place to eat.

Zob drained the last of the cup before setting it in the sink, "People will never learn it seems" it was then he noticed Lizzy walk in, "Morning Lizzy" he greeted her before looking to see if Orria was gonna come out for breakfast.

Orria  did  come out. looking  a bit tired. She stepped into line to get  food...Stem kids going back and forth  for more  Bacon or  toast, sometimes a refill of chocolate Milk.

 Some  people were retuning bowls  and  silverware, thanking   The LC, Shade  and Tulliun for  cooking, Frans  and  Eckles  started  washing  dishes..

 Shadow   caught Zob's attention...Make sure you take Orria's  fish  with you.. you won't get fresh fish , once we cast off...

Sadow  put  two Cartons of Bacon , they were unopened in a cold back from the closet...Roll?.. when we get to the hermes, you take this  to Doc Henet's Lab. make sure the  other Largs get some bacon too... Mila , Larry and grehgor  are getting theirs  now.

 already done, Mr LC... he said  has he handed his  bowl to Frans... not one of the Stem kids  had 'leftovers', some of the adults  did, with that food being scarped into the container  for  the  2 largs and one fur-larg.

 Stefi shook her head...you sure this kind of food is good for them?

 They're smart, they won't eat it, if its not good...besides? they eat  people..people eat that stuff..right?

 Stefi scraped  he leaving for them and shook her head...such Brilliant Insight, you should have went into Bio Tech.. I'm  packing up my equipment... no body try to get killed in the next couple Hours

  as she said that...The stations Horns  sounded , long mournful sounds..with  an automated  announcement repeated   3  times...

 attention, all Delta Fleet personnel ... Recall  has  just been sounded... Cast off is   at 1000 hours, anyone missing cast off will be deemed  AWOL, and subject  to desertion protocols...

  The Admiral hands his Bowl to Shadow Hennings   to Tulliun...they're playing our song...we have to go..see you all in a couple hours.

 the Big Brass moved  out, some other Pilots  and SEC  followed  after, Bags over their shoulders   or in thier hands.

  Ffolkes and Rolfe  were pushing the   wheeled carts  for the equiptment, they looked at the food...

 Shadow  chuckled,. here?  Me and Shade will load the carts, call in everyone wheo was on guard  duty to help finish this off... Tullin?  crack open another Bacon  container, and  fry them up...

 Shade  jumped on the cart as Shadow began to push it to the Master bed room...Thatsnot helping much... but you'll have  to do some lifting..

 Flores and Beth  followed in their T-shirts

Tulliun nodded. I'll make sure everyone gets all the sizzlin' pig they want, LC.he smiled as he turned to break open the last container. He turned to Meari, Do you need to help with the recall? Being part of SEC, I expect you'll be needed to count heads as they return. he smiled to comfort her, I think I can keep up with a few stray guards.

 Lizzy smiled at Zob and said, " Good morning Zob, how are you doing and where is Orria at?" Just as Lizzy finished saying that Orria came out looking rather tired, Lizzy giggled and added, " Looks like she was up late having fun. Also, Zob if you need any help at all, with Orria please ask ok."

 Meari smiled at Tulliun and replied, " I am not on duty yet so I think I will stay here and help you feed these guards, together they will all eat faster." Meari smiled at the guards now off duty and said, " Everyone come get some bowls new batch of bacon and eggs coming right up." Meari was enjoying cooking the bacon, and she was pretty good at it. Meari also liked helping out the others and making sure the ones that were on duty get some as well.

a few Moments, Shade  was pushing a cart loaded  with equipment trunks, Shadow carried  two  one stacked on the other...

  ..SM's   weapons  case is there yet, and one  trunk with the used enviro suits, that need   cleaned  when they get to The Hermes...

 Howe  grabbed the  cart and Pulled it to the   Guest  wing, and    then pushed it  down the Hall to the exit  at the service elevator, To  get the   the VAns  down in the garage. Foster  grabbed  one of the trunks, Fitz the other and  told the LC  to  take a break.

The  Kids, with the bags  of  freshly laundered swim suits and such began to Line up to go to the   Lifts, with Sneak COM texting   parents  to let them know they would be  at The Hermes soon.

  Shadow  sat down on the Couch, Shade wandered  out to the  roof, folowed by  Larry. Beth and Flores   were sitting at the counter  in   off duty unifroms, drinking coffee, looking alot  more sharp.

 they was  a 'plunk' on the Couch as Vasser   looked at the LC with a grin,so? We;re Going to E-1.... she nodded her head.

 pretty damn happy for some one who has a ship lad of people trapped in a Mountain, by races that wil eat them...

 yeah?  but the great Heroes  of the Delta Fleet will save them..right?

 he looked at her  sideways,you know..., unless  the Admiral say, 'get everything'..we going there to kill bad  guys, and  get those egg heads  out  of there...we're Not carting off anything we have  to wait to get packed up.... once we get them out of there.. The Admiral can see  about  a full scale landing and you people can go back   down and fish stuff out.

 we'll see....

 you don't get it..do you? My people  signed up to fight.and maybe die..to keep our species  alive,and to  have a place at the table  with the 'gods' we used to worship.... Your people went there to find  information, treasures  and  fame.... I don't like the idea of one troopers or Pilot dying, because this  folks went where they weren't supposed to go.

 her COM goes off she looks at it, and stands...I'll see you on the ship? Maybe  a late dinner, your quarters? what can you cook...

 me? Toaster cakes  and Gamma waved soup..

 sounds  great....  she walked off.. Beth's head appeared on one  of the LC's shoulders...what can you cook.... and she fluttered her eyelashes...

 ..sounds  Great.... Flores said in an overly sweet voice, from the other shoulder...

They left  gregor Jumped up on the couch  thumping his tail, Shadow  rubbed his head...I should have been a Larg...Largs   don't  go through  crap like this...

 gregor thumped his tail faster..

 man? they really worked you over when you were little, Huh?..How many channels you have  going on inside there..

between breakfast and 0900 Nikki and Mitch, along with Haley they would go shopping as Haley was outgrowing things quickly.  Also for a few toys and surprises, As well as some foods the shoppette aboard does not have like apple butter.  Only then returning to the Condo to bring down bags to take to Hermes and they too would return.

After their late night tour of the labs and farms, Val and Henry were amongst the last to surface, only just in time to catch breakfast.

Mila had been radiating enjoyment for some time. Apparently Shadow had been spoiling her rotten.

Henry looked around for Can and saw him with the other youngsters.

 Can came back in from the roof  After   Stefi and Sneak marched  the other kids  to the lifts   to catch the shuttles back to the hermes.

  Roll  sat   down on the other side  of gregor..Can sat n the other side of Shadow, as he let  Henry and Val  eat.

  Hey Guys? what's up...you  excited to go back home?

 Can, gave a shrug,i am used to the Big Stations... But the Hermes is ok, 'cause that's  were Daddy Doc  and Mommy are...

 Roll  was Petting  Gregor  who was happy he was being  'paid attention to"...You're Like  out Pack Leader...

Shadow shook his head,..nope.. Jax  and Sneak? they are your Pack Leaders...They have been with you from the stem , all the way to here... Can, was accepted into the pack, like a couple others... I'm just the Guy who helps make sure no one  picks on you guys...

he   held up a finger  and looked from one to the other...That doesn't mean you guys can do anything you want...because then you'll be the bad  guys....I won't like that..neither will Jax...so? you protect yourself...you stand up for yourself, but make sure  you don't pick on other  Kids, just for the sake of it..

Beth and Flores  came out with thier Bags.  Frans, Eckle, Mara and Brivet  came out from the other end...we're headed up..see you guys later..

The place was getting quiet, the roof almost empty. A steady  stream of people from the Admiral's  led to the lifts, as SEC  made  sure no 'suits" tarried too long..

After shyly waving at Zob as he and Lizzy spoke to one another Izzy, deciding not to interrupt them would move on down the line collecting a portion of eggs and bacon before stopping in front of the man helping Shadow and Shade with breakfast. Offering the guy in question a curious look she would say in a friendly voice ”I don’t think I’ve seen you around before? Are you new to the Hermes?” she asked, assuming that he must have arrived whilst she’d been away.

In reply to Isobel Sakura (msg # 315):

Tulliun was busy at work, doing whatever he needed to when a woman he recognized in passing from the Hermes stood in front of him and started talking. It took him a second to realize she was addressing him.

He shook his head to indicate clearing his distraction to engage in her conversation. I am still kind of new. I landed on the Hermes just before the jump off. I brought the hive busters. I also went Lights Out the other night. he wiped his right hand on a towel and extended it to her, I'm Tulliun, by the way. The Meadowlark is my shuttle. he smiled warmly.

Reaching out with a small and rather dainty hand, Izzy would shake Tulliuns's hand, smiling as she introduced herself in a soft musical voice "I'm Isobel, though most people call me Izzy...I'm a comms tech, the redhead behind me talking to Zob is my girlfriend Lizzy, she's also a pilot" she said nodding her head towards the attractive redhead just behind her before continuing "Sounds like you arrived around about the same time I got back, how are you finding life on the Hermes?" she asked figuring that he'd been around the crew long enough to get an idea of how they both worked and got their kicks

Tulliun nodded in understanding, I've met Sgt Zob before we came to the Matterhorn. he pointed, with a squint, Phoenix, right? She was my escort during the battle.

He made a hemhaw kind of shrug at her question. Well, I have been impressed by the way you all unwind. Most of your crew mates have great work ethic, and I've yet to meet one who's been rude. he thumbed over to Meari, I've been babysat by this fine lady for the most part. he smiled playfully over his shoulder at Meari.

Having been up on patrol Jug and the gava came in very close to the end of breakfast.  Their gear packed to go they gathered to get some hot food before it was taken away for various largs.  Jug was happy for some sausages.  Uvuvu headed for the coffee pot and mixed coffee and hot chocolate.  They would rest for a bit.  Jug gave Can a wave through the door

 Lizzy smiled at Zob as he left for the Hermes, Lizzy turned at smiled at Tulliun and replied, " Meadow Lark it is good to finally meet you in person, everyone calls me Lizzy. You did great up there and going back was a good call."

 Lizzy smiled at Meari the Udenese's size always threw her off, but Meari was amazing Lizzy wished she could fight like her, but Meari would need help in fitting into her fighter that's for sure. They all had their missions and jobs in this war.

 Lizzy holds Izzy close from behind and says," Want to head up to the Hermes before it gets too crowded?"

 Meari was finishing cooking the last of the bacon for the last group and was beginning clean up when Izzy and Lizzy came over to talk to Tulliun. Meari smiled at Izzy she had hoped her time away gave her a new fever for the fight and find where she fits in the best. Meari smiled at Lizzy she didnt know the redheaded pilot that well, but she was a blue max winner, and she had a lot of good kills.

 Meari smiled at Tulliun and said, " It is a dirty job, but someone had to show him around." Meari chuckled at her attempt on human humor. Meari began cleaning the grill and the area as she talked to Izzy and Lizzy. " How are you doing Izzy, I haven't seen you in a while how was your assignment?"

 Sam and Roo finished their breakfast and Sam smiled at everyone and said, " Ok time to get back to work, see you all on the Hermes." Sam made sure her stuff got sent up and then Sam and Roo took the next ride back to the Hermes Hanger Dec.

---->>>>> Sam and Roo to Hermes Hanger Dec.

Henry asked Val and Can if there was anything else they wanted to do on Matterhorn, as they'd best do it quickly before going to the Hermes. Then he wandered over to the Gava.

"How are you folks?, he asked them.

He also needed to arrange for the crates from the lab/farm to be sent up. They'd been plugged in and hummed away all night in the condo as per instructions keeping everything cold.

There was a brief look of confusion on Izzy’s face until she recalled her girlfriend’s callsign ”huh? Oh yeah, though she generally goes by Lizzy when not in the cockpit” she said, giggling as she felt Lizzy’s arms going around her from behind, with Lizzy going on to introduce herself.

At Tulliuns mention of the rest of the crew and his general opinion and good impression of them she would nod her head before replying ”well the crew have their bad days like everyone else but they’re generally pretty good people” she said before turning to look at Meari as she joined them, saying as how she hadn’t seen her in quite some time and asking how her assignment had been ”Long and dull mainly, I mean it gave Harry and me chance to get to know each other but other than that it wasn’t particularly exciting…well except for finding that comms message obviously” she replied with most of her time having been spent sitting around listening to comms chatter or in the tiny galley cooking for the others.

With Lizzy asking if she wanted to head back to the Hermes she would nod her head in agreement more than happy to head home once she had finished her breakfast.

Tulliun smiled as Meari made a fairly successful joke at his expense. He didn't mind, it was a good one.

The women finished talking, and he kept his mind to his work as they disbursed. He bid the other women farewell as they left.

Once they were done, Tulliun helped clean up until the Condo staff took over cleanup.

He looked to Meari, Well, they're all done, and we've cleaned up, I suppose we should get to the Hermes before she leaves without us.

 Meari smiled at Izzy and Lizzy and replied, " Well I am glad you are back Izzy safely, see you in SEC Izzy." Meari watched as the couple walked off towards the shuttles up to the Hermes.

 Meai helped finish up and then said to Tulliun," Yes I think we are, yes let's head up and we have plenty of time before the Hermes leaves." Meari then headed towards the shuttles motioned for Tulliun to come along.

--->>>> To Hermes Hanger Dec

 Lizzy smiled at Tulliun and Meari and said goodbye as Izzy and her headed for the shuttles up to go back home. Lizzy took Izzy's hand as they headed back up to the Hermes.

 ---->>>> To Hermes Hanger Dec.

Tulliun smiled and followed behind Meari. He was interested to see where they were going to go next.

----To Hanger Dec>>>>

Henry gathered everybody of his circle up and they all went to the Hermes.
