Roy nodded, his jaw taking a hard set.  "I'm going down there.  See if you can use my presence as a distraction to get someone to install some cameras that will get us usable footage if they come back...doesn't need to be long-term or hard-wired."

He keyed his comm, calling the QM.  Even though his comm would ID who was calling on their end, he made sure they knew who was calling.  "This is Sergeant Major Spencer.  I need some gear to clean up some graffiti...I don't care if it's a bucket, sponge, and soap or a good cleaning solvent, although it's probably best to avoid anything that would strip paint off a wall..."  Getting rid of the graffiti would help, but leaving a huge bare patch where it had been would just serve as a reminder, although he could probably get a maintenance team down there fast enough to paint over anything he took off.  One thing about shipboard maintenance...everything was pretty standardized.  They would have paint to match.

"I'll be there in two minutes.  I want to have it in my hands in three."  The steel in his voice made it clear that he wasn't in a negotiating mood.

 This is QM 1st class  Dara, Joles.. we'll have ti  ready, SM

 when  Roy  arrived there was a spray guy, two buckets  , two  sponges  and  a canisters of  cleaner.

Roy collected his requisitions, and headed for the civilian sector, his mood decidedly darker than it was on normal occasion.

Once done filling the forms and complaint out Nikki watched Roy take off to take care of the problem.  Nikki nodded in Marias direction and started to leave for the Hangar Dec.  She stopped after 2 steps then turned and took a step back and grabbed her helmet of the counter.  Then turned and headed out.


=====> hangar dec

 Sam watched as SEC was set up for something big, then everyone showed up and she knew it was something big. She helped out Beth where she could and also made sure Bura had a good live feed as well.

 Sam just watched as the Paradise Angels fell into the Admiral's trap, and then the bombs hit, and she could see the fear in their eyes. When it was done Sam just smiled and began scanning comms coming and going from Paradise and monitored any and all ship movement in the area.

Jug walked in to secure her squads detail for the ball.  "I notice new troops on hangar dec.  anyone to watch for?" she asked the trooper at the desk.

  Rolfe  was there By himselfThey briught one guy and supplies in, we'll see    BUs  comign up all day tomorrow....Lt  Morrow  has   your people  off  tomorrow, so yiou can go see the beach or  forests  or whatever?

"At Ball... look good and keep watch...correct?" Jug stated as she headed for the door.  She headed back out to the hangar dec. 'Jug will make sure the eat before ball, keep good tunics clean"

--------->>>>>>>> From Officer Quarters (VIP)

 Sam walked into SEC with a huge smile on her face she was beaming and glowing from the amazing sex she has been having, and the soreness was getting much better. (Sam giggled to herself). Sam looked around to see who was there and look at the duty log, then check out her computer and anything she needed to get done. Then she smiled and happily said," Good morning everyone, did everyone have a great shore leave like I did?"

 Beth greeted   Sam. she saw her looking at the Duty Log.after  the  bit on the hanger Dec last time ,  Sakura is  now going to be a trooper  on the  Hermes  and an OmniCOM  on away missions. People died  during that 'missing' of   The LCs message.. If i could prove it was
 intentional, i would  shoot her myself...but? going on away mission, the gods  can judge her. If that  new   guy works out. we;'ll use him, if  not Orria  will pick up the slack until we get a seasoned   COM Tech here. If  not? orria  has more Combat time under her belt then most frontline COM techs.

 how idd you like the  shore leave?

 Sam nodded at Beth, Sam didnt think Izzy didnt it on purpose maybe thinking about Lizzy to much yes but not on purpose. " Understood Beth, we will see about Jason and Orria is awesome and I would love to spend more time with her."

 Sam smiled and then sheepishly replied," I umm had a great amazing time with Zob on the planet, at the beach at dinner at the wedding and in the bedroom, so it was an incredible and very sore shore leave."

 Beth Giggled.I had  shore leaves  like that couple times. Maybe i will again sometime..good for you"  Right now..I am sorting  out COMs    that  deal with Vampics.... You sort through COM s  dealing  with  Largrans...we'll get Orria  to sort out  COJM about Verians

 Sam smiled and replied," Ok great I will get right to work on the Largrans right away, I just need to Comm Zob." Sam smiled got her computer up and going logged in with her code, as she waited for the computer to boot up she sent a comm text message to Zob.

Jason finally made it to sec after making a couple wrong turn. Sees Sam and saysSorry im late

 Beth  stood up. Dark Hair  with streaks of  bright  colors  through her hair., emerald    eyes. well Bet, if not shorter then Most of the ladies on the Ship.

I am Lt   Beth Morrow.  I am the  Chief COMs  officer on this  boat. and  deal with SEC information harvesting. This is  Lt Sam Robertson. she  is attached to us from  the Burian Fleet.. That  lady there is Master Chief   Lyri Mullins. she often leads  some sections of boarding  parties  and Ops

 Take that desk there. The   crewman who used it will be  a trooper and Omni COM operator  from here  forward. So you get to dig into the   info piled on the desk..You will be  looking for information on  Roussian  movements. and you will Flag  any information on any Empire   things that pop up.

 she looks at his slight  frame...The LC is having a Tunnel run at 8:PM ship's time... SEC   goes  as Voluntary..Pilots   are mandatory. Anyway?  Your are aboard  'the tip of the spear"..first ones in. last ones out.. Now?  The SM should be  along  soon.. He's in charge of SEC over  all, and  dishes out  assignments.

 Lyri looks up as she sorts through some  papers..,,she groans  as she  finds an encrypted dics.

  she flicks it to Beth, beth takes it over the computer she calls "the Mule".. she  slips  the  disc  in , and her  hands fly across the   keyboard  in a blurred.. about  15  seconds  she    ran it through a  scrubber. and handed it back...Looks Creshain.. have fun!

 Lyri accepted it  with a shrug...I hate  Bugs...

Yes ma’am Jason says taking the desk indicated and starts digging into the stuff piled on the desk.Its nice to meet you all

 Sam smiled at Jason and said," Welcome good to see you, get the computer loaded up and I will get you in." Sam waited till Jason was ready then loaded and gave him a access code. Once he was set up Sam went to work.

 After a bit Sam said," Beth it seems the Largans are headed to Aqra, I have confirmed this with other merchant hidden messages."

Thanks for helping me get set up Jason said putting in the access code and getting to work

Jason was going through what info was there trying to sort it to make things a bit easier when he noticed a couple of things he marked one thing and checked another thing jumping back and forth between a few documents to be sure. Pulling the relevant information he said Lt morrow I found three things that you should look at Ma’am. First Roussians have been coming and going between Russa and Vera a lot over the last month. Second there is EDT movement happening to Fuji . And finally russa is planning a retaliatory strike within the next month

 Great... we  have   Lizards  going to help the  FishSticks.. I was hoping we  wouldn't have to go there  again... we have a pretty strong Presence there with those captured Battle  ships.. but  80% of the Human APF  folk are farmers  and Hunters,  trying to  keep Aqra   in their places.

 Beth's eyes  Narrowed.great..the egg plants?.. Fuji , I'm sure  we can deal with the REDT  there when we  doc there , Delta  Nights  are More  fun when they are  done at your home port.... I'll send word  to gresh....and Now i have more stuff to show the brass  in the Big meeting.

 Sam kept working trying to find out as much as she can.

After turning over the bit Jason found to Lt Morrow Jason continued going through the rest of the info he had to see if he could find more

 Beth  looked at the others,I am going to hand  the  information over to  the Brass at the  Meeting..if  any of you find anything else , SOM  me  and send the info to my Vidboard  so i might present it.

 Sam smiled and continued working," If we find anything Beth we will comm you ASAP." Sam smiled and went back to work on the comms.

Roy was up and about when he got the notification about meeting with the brass in an hour.  "Well, we may finally have some answers to all the questions people keep shooting our way," he muttered, as he read the note.  He looked over the duty roster for the day, made a couple of shift changes to break up some problematic pairings and keep his people more interested in their assignment than each other, and signed off on it.

He turned to the officer of the watch.  "I've got a meeting with the top brass in a little under an hour...unless it's critical, handle it.  I'm sure the Admiral would forgive interruptions, but I try to avoid them when I can."  He gave a nod, and then headed into his office to look through files on some of the new transfers, especially the ones that had been problematic thus far.  He was looking for indicators as to whether they were just chronically cocky or somehow otherwise problematic, or if they might actually be infiltrators again.  At this point, it should be clear to them that, either way, this was not going to be as easy as they'd hoped...but having clearer knowledge of their personal records and backgrounds would give him better insight as to whether each one was a 'break and rebuild' prospect, or just a 'break' prospect.  It was a good way to eat up the better part of an hour in a hurry...
