Fran's  flight stayed on station  and   Foster's  flight and Fitz's flight  returned with the shuttles and the Morningstar.

    Lyri's shuttle  landed   first. pulling all the way up to the edge of the  taped  walk way.  for them to Unload the wounded.

   several    med techs  with Hover carts  stood   ready,  two guardians faced the  static  field as  if they expected  enemies.

 Paskins  was placed on the , Eric ,a LT Med tech who was, more or less, Stefi's 2nd in command,  called out   as Andruss  laid Paskins on the hover Cart...we need some one  to open this  sardine  can so we can work on him..follow us to  med tech!

   Hipper's  suit  was opened ,  and he was placed on a  cart., one  Med tech entered the shuttle  to  back the bodies , to be added to the pile.

a few others  were walking wounded  and they followed the hover  carts. The carts that weren't sued,  got ready as LT Corr's  shuttle laned  and they began to sort out  Dead   and wounded.

 The Admiral's  and Captain Morris  checked out the  troops coming off the  shuttles , offering encouragement  to the wounded. and taking note of those  who did not make it.

The Young Guns  came out of the  shuttle loaded  down with Angel steel weapons as they  carried them to  the QM  for processing, each of them now, sported  a  brand  new weapons belt that had  angel steel sidearms, no one seemed to mind.

 Sam limped onto the Hanger Dec, her chest was bandaged, her arm in a sling, she limped up to the Warroom and then said to Beth and everyone else in the area," Hello I made it through, but I will be in my quarters tomorrow hopefully I can rejoin everyone then after I get checked out by Stefi. Just wanted to let you all know I was ok and will be fine, just sore as hell."

  beth  sat down   on her  chair  and Looked  down the steps to  Samwell... i don't know what's going to happen, we  got , at  least. 4/5s  of the enemy  Fleet out there.. But   The Admiral wants to bring the pain to the Angels  before   they whittle us  down too much.</Pink

she shrugs ( and winces).<Pink>Going to be   'all hands  on dec' next jump off

——> Paradise

As soon the ramp descended Tarja would start moving her wounded people out of the shuttle and towards med tech where she was met by a lieutenant wanting help with the suits ”I will show you how to open suit…follow me trooper, now is time to learn about suits” Tarja said in her usual blunt, businesslike tones, waving for Giles to follow her into medtech, trusting Meari and the rest of the squad to return to the compound and see to their suits in her absence.

——> Med Tech

 Meari comm'd Tarja," Let us know status of both as soon as possible, I will bring the others to the compound and get to repairing some of our suits."

 Meari then said to the squad," Great work again squad we went against Angel Elite and we all hope Paskins pulls through." Meari will then lead the rest of the AI to the compound to get out of their suits and work on damage reports for their suits.

------->>>>>> From Paradise Space

 Lizzy would wait until Stavros and Nikki land and then she would land and head to park in her berthing. " Great job out there guys, much better performance Rookie you did real good out there."  Lizzy would park her skeeter and then power it down and pop the canopy.

 She would grab her disk and then jump down and giving a damage report to her ground crew.

 Sam smiled at Beth and the Admiral and replied," I will go get rest until you need me, I will be ready for the next jumpoff if Stefi lets me that is. I will be in my quarters if anyone needs me." Sam then limped towards the lifts to the Officer quarters.

Izzy had been quietly monitoring the comms noting the return of two of the assault teams, watching as a pair of the new armoured troopers were taken to med tech; one under their own steam, the other carried.

Hearing the sound of Sam’s voice she would stand to look over the top of the monitors, finding Sam swathed in plast and slings standing at the foot of the tower ”Sam! You had me worried there for a minute, I take it Stefi got you all patched up? Maybe I could come over later to see how you’re doing…if you’re feeling up to it that is” Izzy babbled excitedly, clearly overjoyed that her friend was doing ok, if a little pale ”…but yeah you should rest, you look about ready to fall over…I…I’ll see you later Sam, I’m so happy you’re alright”

All fighters were  landed, except for frans  flight  and  Shadows  m , they would land After Stoly's  shuttle landed.

  AP-Lo was taken to greet  The board , Hack Smiled,welcome to  The ESN  351  Hermes .. I am Admiral HAck.. this is Admiral  Hennings, Captain Morris,    Captain   O'Rielly..and that?  Is Flag Captain  Si

 AP-LO turned to see  Captain Si strutting towards them in he light boarding armor, she  carried her helmet under her  arm, she  had a dark smile...AP-LO..welocme to The Hermes. I should  think you never  thought you would be here.

 AP-LO couldn't answer  as he stammered at First. Hack explained...LOUDLY.. to  HenningsGE-FI  tried to shop his daughters around.. Nil's sister  even made a run at Shadow  after he beat the  9 hells out of her 'Suggested"... Nil was   Suggested  to  AP-LO in an Arrangement  with AP-LO's family... needless to say, it didn';t take. after  we met in San Deigo.

Looking   embarrassed,  AP-LO  looked at  Hack.That sword  cut both ways  . Admiral Hack.  How could i want a mate who  dealt  with earth primates and..

 Captain Si's   free arm  shot out like a   Cobra, slapping   AP-LO and sent him to  the Dec.Those  'Primates' all have   blood of angles and  many other APF  races in them, from the tests and interbreeding,  You should watch your mouth  when you are stand in my Dec!


Getting up , even more embarrassed, AP-LO gave  Si a surprised looks   , turning to  Hack, as the Admiral said.I am surprised, AP-LO.. MY LC has taken two such slaps  from Nil, when she thought he 'over protected her' in battle..he didn't fall down.

 Hennings added,Spencer's  shuttle  is landing Now,..Frans and Shadow's  flight  will be in and  all the   chicks  will be back int he barn.

even as he spoke  the  shuttle landed   ,   Shade  Bleeped at Med techs  for Larry..Roll , Disna  and   Puskie  ran over to  help Larrh out of his   suit and head   gear.  The flight landed, Shadow the last,, as the Pilots  walked over to hand in discs  and get new ones.

Henry stayed with the 'Hanger Dec largs' whilst the 3 Larg Masters ran over to see to Larry.

Mila whined and Henry patted her.

"Larry is tough, girl, he'll be all right."

  The other  Largs    padded over  By henry and where greeted  by th 'Dec largs".  some had   pulse  wounds and patched up suits.

 Freddie    Nudged   Henry and   Mila.. Rol loked  stricked  as the  got Larry out of his suit.,  Disna  checked the 'middle shoulder'  he talked soothingly  to larry...  Hemsly whistled  for Shadow, who came  running over  through the mass of   fighters and crewmen.

     Looking at larry as Disna said,Shoulder  wound. Middle shoulder, not  as  bad as  a front or  back shoulder.

 Shadow  took a  knee  by  Larry patting his snout.well, what does  that  mean ?

 Disna looked  at Shadow.he'll be fine..but... if  we  want him  on the Jump off tomorrow..well...

 Larry.... you want to fight tomorrow, or  do you want rest.. He  Nudged   Shadow and thumped his  tail.

 Zob!, Nugest, Get Larry to the Black hanger...I need to see stefi  and...

 Shade  came off the  shuttle    and held up a closed  fist,Never  Mind, Get hi to the Black Hanger

  The other  largs  watched   was Disna  zipped up his   med-tech kit.. and followed.

   Hack  Called over...LC...SM?   I'd Like  you to meet  AP-LO...

 Shadow gave a Nod,Aye Sir, Once   we patch Up   Larry, I''ll report...  Crew before  enemies , sir...

 Carry on...

AP-LO looked disgusted,he is taking care of a Lizard, ebfore meeting a a High Admiral of  the Paradise  fleet.

 Si snorted,You are nothing more then an  enemy to the LC. Larry is a crewman and a friend...

Zob stepped off the shuttle only to be met with a request from Shadow, "Can do" he would then escort those needed to the black hanger.

-----> Zob and friends to Black Hanger.

Henry welcomed and inspected the other largs as they arrived, a bit of fuss and a word for each one. He helped them off with their helmets, put out water, and treated any wounds that they had.

 Lizzy handed over her disk to Captain Morris and said," This was a rough one and it isn't over sir." Lizzy smiled at Captain Morris and then headed over towards the warroom tower and Izzy.

 Lizzy headed over to the Warroom tower, she saw Izzy talking with a pretty wounded Sam. Lizzy knew if Sam was out of commision Izzy might have to keep working. Lizzy will look over and wave to Izzy and she says to Sam," Oh my what happened Sam."

 Sam smiled at Izzy and replied," Oh yes that would be great I would love the company. Yes Stefi did a great job hopefully fully ready to go tomorrow morning."

 Sam smiled as Lizzy came up worried about her injuries," I will be ok thank you Lizzy, we got attacked by some Angel Officers probably going for the Board and Admiral Hack. I am just glad I had armor on, and they weren't using bullets."

 Sam smiled at everyone, she saluted the Admirals who where a little distance a way, and then limped off towards her quarters.

--->>>>>>>> To Officer Quarters

------>>>>>>>> From Paradise Space

 NA-CE went with the cabinets from the Angel med tech to their Med tech.

---->>>>>> To Med Tech with cabinets

Roy grimaced as Larry was extricated from his assault armor.  He'd foamed the wound, himself, but knowing first aid for humans didn't necessarily translate perfectly to treating largs, and he took note of what additional work Disna did, making a mental note to set up some times to sit down with the larg masters, and Roll, and talk about some of the intricacies of larg physiology and treating wounds.

As soon as Shadow asked whether Larry wanted to go again tomorrow or rest, Roy's grimace deepened, as he realized what Shadow was suggesting.  He had some idea of what this was going to do to Larry...assuming the Angel serum worked on the larg the same way it had on humans...and while he had no doubt that Larry would survive it (unlike some on the crew who might be subjected to such treatments), it was not going to be a pleasant experience.

He dropped into formation with the group taking Larry to the Black Hangar, pausing to look back as Admiral Hack called out to them.  The look on his face made it clear what he thought about meeting a high-ranking Angel official...especially right now...and he just nodded and jerked a thumb in Shadow's direction when the LC made his response.

”I’m just happy you’re still in one piece” Izzy replied, with her not wanting Sam to feel the need to rush back into action and risk exacerbating any unhealed injuries. With the arrival of Lizzy, Izzy would offer her fiancé an adoring look as she called down to her ”hey beautiful, you coming my way?” before giggling, glad to see Lizzy back on the Hermes.

 " Wow you where unlucky but lucky as well, you took hits heading to the Board, Sam our tank." Lizzy smiled and was very happy Sam would recover.

 Lizzy then smiled at Izzy and said," Hell yes, how are you guys holding out, I know your busy especially with Sam hurt, I just wanted to come see you and tell you I am ok."

     As  Roy, Shadow, and   those with them   returned.. Nugest   went to find   the other  he normally   Hangs with as  Shadow gave him a  pat on the back. The Ape-man  smiled  and went on his  way.

  Arriving  at  The  congregation  of  Brass,   Shadow salutes the Admirals  and Captains, but failed  any such attempt  to AP-LO.

 This is    LC  Shadow, and SM SPencer,  Gunny SGT  Zob...

 AP=LO, Naturally looked at the officer first...So? LC Shadow? You do not   salute Officers of  higher rank, from  your  opponents ?

 You are an Enemy  AP-LO. that is all, your rank is   only  worth something  to those  of your  race. To mean, You are  slavers, who used your  Tech  to enslave humans
 to the point of  worship. Then? we you needed us, revealed the truths of  The Black. To compound that,  You  joined the very enemy you asked us to fight!

AP=LO snort,Your  race  is nothing  by  barbarians... you use   those races who were  under you   as far as tech.

 we never  led them to think we were Gods.. we  have  raised the Gava   into the  world of Tech, teaching them, helping them, and now they can fight back, instead of being  sports  food.... Naragrans are far smarter then you or  I. But  people cannot see past their    bodies...Burians  you  left to their own devices. We  aided them  and  they have become  as strong an allie  as the Sanri and Occui.

so? you will forgive  me If  I am not   , overly pleased to see you alive.

 AP-LO looked like a cross  between  embarrassed and angry.  He Looked to  Captain  Si   who seemed to be smilign at  The LC's  lecture.

 The Angle Admiral looked at Roy and Zob...I suppose you feel the same   as ...this... officer? he waved  a  shooshing  hand  in Shadow's  direction.

Zob showed little emotion he was more disinterested in AP-LO then anything but he did show a odd amount of restraint from his usual self as he spoke, "How i feel is none of your concern Mr AP-LO" the words coming out in a very nonchalant manner.

Roy snorted softly.  "Do I find you to be a manipulative bastard with all the charm and personality of a rectal cavity?" he asked, as though restating Shadow's explanation in simpler terms...but he didn't bother answering his own question.

”It’s quieting down now that the assault teams are back and the Angels are withdrawing” Izzy replied as Sam made her way to her quarters ”…I suppose a lot of it is down to them and whether they decide to have another go or let us approach and land troops” she continued with a shrug with not wanting to voice the possibility that Angels might simply surrender and sue for terms, not that she thought that was likely to happen ”I’d best get back, I’ll come and find you when I’m cleared to leave…until then stay safe beautiful” she said blowing Lizzy a kiss before sitting back down at her station.

 AP-LO looked   more  disgusted, then Angry after  Zob, Roy and Shadow  spoke their   piece.

 I have heard  Rumors of  you...Shadow. They say that you are a war criminal...

 Shadow  Laughs  as  Does Hennings,   Rivets  grins, Captain Si smile  and   Hack , with Morris  shake their heads  with grins.

 Lets  straighten this out..right?  I am the biggest war crimminal .The empire  ever  faced.  I Killed    Lady V's   Niece in front of her  eyes, and fed the body to larry.... I can'  tell you how many EDT  folks i kiled...and  the kills weren't meant to be clean... a month or so a go,   We captured Some SSN leaders as well as their Wing Commander. All of them where over the rank of Captain...now?  AP-LO..you do know what you have to do, to  make that rank...

 But Angels take part as  well, AP-LO.   I had them  remove all their clothing..while the WC  was strapped down  on a Table...and they were forced  to  slice  and  eat the WC. Those who did not comply  where  shot and tossed out the   Static  field..... after   30 Minutes  or  so of  screaming  and choking  and vomiting.. we through them all out of the static  filed...

 he looked at the Admirals  who sorta looked at their boots.War Criminal?  I guess? But no one in the ESN aver  ate a kid .  The  Loyalty feast has the  main course alive, so they can have the pleasure of the fear and pain  as well as the meal...I Like to give back to my enemies, what they  force on others....and i try to make it hurt...just..alittle More.... when i get on Paradise? I won't treat enemy angels
 any different, since you folks were the  people   we 'looked up' to. .He eyed  AP-LO who was clearly unsettled  by  Shadow  speech,I'm getting a  Soda...  Again his salutes to  HIS people were crisp. nothing, for AP-LO..

As Shadow went to the Table, AP-Lo looked at  the others, and said,he's....He's   a madman... he is  worse then any Demon  I have met!

Zob chuckled, "I like to use the term creative myself" he then turned his attention towards the Brass, "I will leave you all to it, hopefully you find some creative fun way to make our *guest* here *comfortable*" he then turned to leave and patted Roy on the shoulder, "Have fun sir"

With that said he gave a salute to the brass minus the angel guy and went off to find his daughter who at this moment was far more important then some soon to be dead angel.
