Sam smiled at Jason, she waved her comm over his and synced it up to get his times and basic body functions. Yes her comms where slightly modified.

" Welcome Jason we are good to go, will wait a few moments to see if Beth will join, us, and of course this is my boyfriend Zob." Sam also swiped her comms over Zob's and got his profile as well. Sam looked at Jason," I have been on the surface as an aid to the Commodore of Bura, but Jason run as hard as you can for as long as you can, you might find yourself behind enemy lines better to know what you can and can't do and go from there."

 Sam smiled at Zob and she got ready for the run of her life, hopefully.

Understood sam I’ll do what I canjason said getting himself ready to run

In reply to Samantha Robertson (msg # 515):

Zob gave a small nod to Jason as Sam introduced him, "Ill keep pace with you two while you run, now lets get this done" he smirked as he waited for the signal to go and once it was given he would follow close to them and not going all out like he did the first time around.

 Zob or  Sam had to start them, as  Roy was out there  with  Estes, and everyone  else, had left for the Rec Dec.

 Sam had her comms out then said," Ok ready, and go!" Sam took off running as hard and as fast as her little legs could and she was doing a pretty good pace.

Keeping pace with the runners ahead of him Justin noticed Zob gait wasn't usual, he then spotted Lt Robinson on the opposite side of the hulking marine. Good for him Justin thought giving the pair a thumps up.

Jason took off whe Sam said go running as hard and fast as he could as he tried to keep pace with Sam and zob.

(Flex)

Zob kept a good pace with Sam and them spurring her on as they neared the finish line together, "Keep at it you two you got this!" and when it came to a end at the finish line he stopped to look at them both, "Well done both of you"

 Sam ran hard and when Zob spurred them on she pushed it, Sam lost some on the third leg, but she finished strong shattering her old record. Sam felt real good, she got a water as she walked off the run and replied," Thank Zob you helped me a lot."

 Sam checked her time and she was right she shattered her old one. " That was a record for me best time ever. How are you doing Jason." Sam would help him if he needed it but she was impressed he made it first time and not training for it, he did darn good.

Winded badly Jason gave Sam a thumbs up as he was doubled over trying to catch his breath

The end was near, one way or another. Madison was either going to make to the end of the tunnel run, or she was going to pass out in the last stretch. What she wasn't going to do was stop. She had fallen behind Candy, but if she could just persevere, she would get to rest.

It was really a matter of will. Her legs wanted to stop moving. Her brain made them keep going. The last strides would just be her forcing her left then her right. It was grueling, and his it hurt, but she when the world around her expanded and dim lighting became bright, she knew she was finally done. At this point, she expected to collapse, but her legs held. She did bend over with her hands on her knees to control her breathing, but it seemed a lack of energy wasn't what made it do difficult. After a few minutes, she was walking around with her hands on her head. Her path was random, but eventually she saw Shadow there and went over to him


"Please tell me we're done. I don't have a third lap in me."

(( Flex))

 yeah.. we're  done, Roy will take  care  of Estes .. I'm goign stright to the  Rec dec, to make sure the new guys   act   the right way.. I'll be ordering a Pizza. for the table, if you need to get a shower...or  sleep?

((Flex))

"Shower... sleep... Both of those sound really good. So does pizza, but I'll let you manage the noobs." Madison lifted to give him a kiss. "Am I allowed to do that here?" She shrugged. "I'll take a shower first, then see how I feel. If I still have the juice, I'll come down to the Rec Dec"

"Try not to think about me naked." Madison waved as she went to the lift with a deliberate sway to her hips

To Madison's Quarters

In reply to Jason graves (msg # 524):

 Sam went to Jason," Are you ok, I think we should call it a night, lets get you to your quarters Jason" Sam takes Zob's hand and asks," So your place or mine Zob?"

In reply to Samantha Robertson (msg # 528):

Zob looked back to Sam, "Will stay at mine tonight" and when she was ready would lead her back to his home in the Civie quarter.

-------> To Civie Quarter

 Sam smiled  took Zob's hand and followed him to his place. " Sounds great to me."

---->>>> To Civie Quarters

Jason says Yeah that sounds good
Jason says bye to on and Sam and heads to his quarters

(( Pilot Run  ))  Steele  and the others... and  4..very angry  Angels   were  in the   Tunnels.. Nagy  started  the  short speech out..These are the LC's words... You have  failed to report when told to do so... Your Punishment  is to  rune the Tunnels  until  The LC's  exercise is over.. it is our  Job to keep you running the whole time..we are permitted to use the stun  Batons..and you better believe  we won't flinch... For me?  I have to count on your asses when were in a shooting war...sorta makes me worried    if you can't  get  down to the gods be damned   football field for a bit of  running....

 when they all lined  up...The Angels  told  Nagy , , that  his stripes  won't help him off  duty... Nagy Laughed and  yelled go.. three troopers  each    side of the   tunnels  had their  stun Batons heated up.

She stood there, listening quietly as Nagy spoke, her look souring even more and another curse escaping her lips. In her haste, she hadn't injected herself with the nerve numbing medicine so the idea of the stun baton was terrifying. Taking her place in the line, she waited, almost holding her breath...until 'GO' was yelled. She took off, trying to treat this much like she did with the tunnel runs even though this was most definitely NOT a tunnel run.

  As they Ran..  Nagy  shouted into his All COM...The LC is  almost  Domne with the exercise... You people will continue to run until he  arrives.  He did say he would COM you when  you could  stop, but since no one  answered COMs, or Ignored them. It  Better  until he arrives

 Vaka  Zapped one of the New Angels   for starting to walk.

  <<<<<<<<  Shadow from  Hanger Dec.

 climbing the stairs, he heard shots of the SEC  Troopers , and   swearing by  Pilots.  the loudest were the  4  New Angels.

 steppign out into the Middle  or   the forwards    beam  tunnel. he  watched  as  some of the   'regular pilots'  were dragging.. it  had been close to an hour.

    Scarlett Pointed down the   Port side, Shadow    went  to Look down..Seeign Vaka   chasing   the  $  Angels  who looked   dead tired.

 Nag  left his post amid ship and Jogged down...None of them are Happy,,those new  agles   are being  herded  by  Vaka.

  With  a Nod, Call your People Back to the Door except Vaka, he's having Fun.. stop all the runners at the  Door.. except the  4  Angels... I'll see you there...

 Shadow  took  off TA-VS  just received  another Jolt  by Vaka, and he was Bitching about it..the Bitchi8ng  stopped  as    Shadow  Voice   snapped,Nice Day for a Run...isn't  it   TA-VS ?  I could do this all day...

 This  creature  Keeps  shocking us!

Vaka  laughed  as he  ran along  side, seemingly no worse  for wear   with his   armor and Pusle  rifle.

 Vaka..... has  more  heart and Guts  then all 4 of you put together....  Moving up to be into the Middle, as the rounded the stern to head to  the starboard  side,There was , once a Time, we got  'Elite'  pilots. those who could not  wait  to  fly of the Hermes...for the Admiral.. But Elite  Pilots  with Guts  and heart, are thinning out, the war is killing some of them, and the other ships  hang on to them...we tend to get 'head cases' and Malcontents .. and we either shape them  up.. or they end up stacked up by the static  field..well?
 that's  not true.. an empty bag with their spare helmet attached  is stacked  by the static  field, Unless they died  in Med tech.

 GO-GA   talked  between deep intakes of breath.but..this is Punishment , not training...

 Its  Both.... You ignored  my COM...Yes? i did not  attach that it was an order.. But  when you CO  tell you to be somewhere..you get to that somewhere!

Vaka   spoke up...This  is Not  an Angels  Ship.. It is  The Hermes...

TA-VS  gave   Vaka  a dark look.

Lets  Pick up the  Pace... if needs  be, Vaka   can spur on, whomever  is   lagging... Welcome to the ESN....

The Angels  tried to   hustle... another  2 minutes or so the rounded the    stern  to  head down the starboard   straightaway . and..Vaka...did..inded  'spur ' those who were lagging

   The others  who  had to run were Gather, Steele  was bend over , his hands on his knees..The  4   Angels stopped and  bent over  as well..

  Thus, endth the lesson.... NEVER..ignore a COM from me again... don't try to say it  didn't come through, because  Beth  can check  that in a heart beat, and  you may as well jump out the static  field  if i find you lied to me...Now?   as of the time I say 'Go'..you have  30 Minutes to go to the rec  dec  for somethign to eat and Drink... After that  you will report to the Hanger  dec, and for the rest of this watch, you will carry Ammo containers , Tool Boxes and  help  with Power cell switch out... he  Held Up a  finger..

 Aye Lad, we'll be puttin' them to good use..give  mine, who has the knowhow to do more important things.. Tell Steele I'll be  waiting on him...

 Already  done , Captain... he  clicked off the  COM  and Looked at the Pilots.gravy train is over... were combat pilots... we need to act like them... Steele  You  are now in charge of the temporary  S 'flight'  which  is you and all of these folks.  S

Which One? Captain Rivets..he's waiting on you...Captain Morris..he wants his  pilots  ready to go?  Captain Si..who is  an Angel..I'm sure she would  be  Real  Proud  of here people  for  being  slackers..

 TA-VS  turned away, Shadow  grabbed his   arm and spun him...You didn't  wait for me to say you are Dismissed, TA-VS.... I'll let all of you here know this.... I was already on the field , waiting to see who is first...and I saw who was  last..and i saw who didn't even report!....  His eyes  when to TA-VS  as well as the other  3 Angels.If  I would have waited at the top of the Ramp...and  saw you 4  calmly drinking and eating  while other  were scrambling..  all 4 of you would be in Med tech  right now

 One of the others  snorted at that.

  Shadow's eyes  Narrowed...I say something Funny?... You four let me know when you are ready.. I'll take you  on..one at  a time, or all at once... don't believe the Paradise  propaganda  they  fed..ooops?.. they used to feed..

——> Hangar Dec

After leading her team through the Hermes they would enter the tunnels by the closest entrance ”Three laps let’s go! Do not be last!” she commanded moments before breaking into a run with the tunnels quickly filled with the sound of armoured feet pounding on tunnel floor and echoing all around them.

  The AI  worked  hard.. thumping through the tunnels  trying to get the feel of the   armor, and the power/limits of  them..

 Belle was  trying hard to come in 'first",   Nimrod   was chasing her  and  Penny.. nim rod  shoudler  Penny  once   to the outside  of the track..Penny  yelled,what the 9 hells!

  Hey...  I want an  extra chevron..

  Bele  giggled  slightly..Not going to get it  way  back there, Nims!

  Nimrod  took off hard     after     Belle.. they were just Getting to the   port-bow turned , nimrod  figured to Bounce  Bell of the Inside   Turn...which  would have worked Except, she 'bridged  Him,   dropping  to  a knee , Mimrod  couldn't   stop  as he  slammed  Into her,  he  Flew over  on   his  back,  , Belle   staggered to her  feet   as   Penny  ran passed giggling,and the  two Ladies  began to race  each other hard,  to  open the gap between the   rest of the pack, who hear Nimrod  swearing  and  pounding the   dec plates  trying to get up.

With no softshells around the AI were able to really open up and see what their armour could do with them thundering down the tunnels like a freight train. Needless to say some of them started to get a little boisterous as they pushed and shoulder checked each other in an attempt to gain a lead, although this would result in Velta Nimrod falling ass over teakettle with an almighty crash. A quick glance at her HUD would tell Tarja that both she and her armour were fine and the only thing damaged was her pride ”This is no time for a nap Nims!” Tarja would call she place her hand on Velta’s shoulder and vaulted over her, resulting in more swearing in Estonian as she got back to her feet and resumed the race, with Meari and Art taking the opportunity to also pass her.

The race would be neck and neck between Belle and Penny right up until the last second when Belle realised that she needed to be able to stop and would slow down. Penny meanwhile, either not realising or not caring would pass her and then skid into the wall. The rest of the team would come to a more controlled stop with Velta bringing up the rear ”Nims! You get another lap, and set up the targets as you go it’s time for a little firing practice!”
