  Val  smiles ,I think it is a Must, Don't you.. I have to show off this Dress, Captain Si would be  disappointed if we did not  not! her  eyes  slide  slyly as she puts her  arms   around   Henry's neck  and  sways  with the Music.

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

 Corby see's Belle and Andruss. She smiles a radiant smile   as  Andruss   talks with her there  doesn't   appear to be  other AI.

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

  Nikki and  Mitch   Dance  , Nikki  noticed    Roll trying  to be a  god dancer with Harly his  sword is  fixed a bit  higher on his belt  so he doesn't  trip.

 Larry  and Mila  walk  around the   floor they seek out  people they Know , Like  Roy and Lyri, The Adniral and Si  and Shadow with Maddy.

  when  larry  reached   Maddy he   gives the   msall of her ball a gentle push to Shadow as his tail thumps, then the  two beasties head towards the  Food tables

Spotting Bell he decided to take a last circuit of the room for a possible dance. Figuring that Three from the AI is a good enough token presence.

 there was  am Athena  MST SGT in her  dress Blues at the  drink tables. She  nodded to  Corbly as he  walked  past,, she seemed to be  by herself.

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

   the Admiral approached    Shadow  and Maddy,before yiou find  too many bodies  to  start dropping,  Nil and I decided we better  ask for dances  now>


 Shadow   Bowed  to   The captain, and he guided  Maddy's  hand to the Admiral, while  Nil held her's out  for   The LC.

 as they  danced ,  Captain Si was chatting  softly as   The LC held her   gingerly.

  The Admiral was a bit more confident, because. Hey? Admiral? So, Ensign, or if  i may?  Maddy?  it seems you are adjusting to wing-lady rather  well.. Only Flores  and Kat  have  the designation of  'Sword maidens'  I have heard that term used  for you on the Hanger dec... it should be an interesting night if  you  take  your wing seriously enough  to take part in tonight's offerings...

Mila walked solomnly around beside her 'escort' watching Her Human. She did not think He cared much for dancing but His mate did. She heard His chuckle in the back of her mind. For that matter, she didn't see much point in dancing herself. Much more fun to run around and play.

Larry nodded towards the food and she turned with him in that direction. Now that she could enjoy.

He'd been able to danced with several Athenan ladies, so decided In for a Penny another dance partner was better than sitting on the bench. He introduced himself and asked if the Mst Sgt would care for a dance.

In reply to ball (msg # 36):

 NA-CE smiled, blushed and then replied," Well Angels definitely love being told they look very good, and Vaka this is a very special occasion and a very expensive dress." At the last part NA-CE was in shook and replied," Oh no Vaka, but thank you for thinking I am that good, Captain Si is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

 A slow song comes on and then held Vaka close with his face guess about where with her being 6'1". The warm touch felt nice with all her training and field work she hasnt had sex in a very long time, and Vaka a Occui trooper was turning her own mostly with his in it to win attitude, his kindness and his will too never give up. Vaka had to be special if that wound didnt kill NA-CE really thought Vaka would pass.

 NA-CE then added," Thank you for excepting too being my escort Balls like this are better enjoyed with great and fearless company."

 Meari and Frakas where dancing extremely close when the slow song started, thats when she saw Brian wave, she waved back and then continued a great dance with Frakas, then she replied to his statement," Oh yes this will be an amazing night, dancing , food, drink, fun and meet people, then after the real fun begins. I love teaching bad guys lessons my second favorite thing to do." Meari was gaining more control over her super killer programming, and she was picking sex over killing, well sex with Frakas, if she lost control with 85% of the crew she would kill them in bed, not a bad way to go though.

 The   MS  gave  Vorby an amused  smile as she downed her  drink.sure  Corp.. let  take a turn  about the  floor, eh?  she stepped out with him.

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

 Frakas   grip with the  two arms  held her firm and close, the other  two hands  were  comfortable   but 'possessive'yeas.. tbis   wil be   interesting. It is a shame  we must  give soe of the night to  removing trash..

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

  Vaka  smiled  as he looked up from his  current  view...his Vioce was a bit Husky as he said....This is  ..not  a feelign i get often... I do not know  . But    the dress  seems to be  higlighting, yur beaity?.. and the secnt  from yoiur body...makes  me....very interested?

 Sam smiled then replied," Thank you very much, have a good evening, Ambassador." Sam then went onto the dance floor and she said against his amazing hard body," They seemed nice but he is an Ambassador they can be all bullshot sometimes even me." Sam giggled, and held Zob tight as they danced.

With Lizzy on her arm, the pair of them would pass the crowds of cheering people and enter the palace, with Izzy taking a moment to take in the sights, sounds and smells of the ball and it’s guests before turning to Lizzy with a smile upon her face ”Would you care for a dance?” she asked, feeling quite confident that her fiancée would be more than up to spending some if not all of their time on the dance floor, with Izzy already beginning to move to music in anticipation.

Madison accepted the Admiral's hand to dance. it was intimidating enough to be an ensign on the arm with the LC, but now dancing with an Admiral seemed almost surreal. But she wasn't all that easily flustered, so whatever anxiety she felt didn't show through in her dance.

"I actually prefer Madison, but the LC has been calling me Maddy since I stepped on board and I even catch myself using it. Please feel free to call me whatever is comfortable. I love my job, and I'm proud to be the LC's wing-lady. I think I've heard the term sword-maiden. It sounds awesome. If they want to use that for me? I'll take it. I'm still alive and a lot of enemies aren't, so I think I'm doing pretty well. And yeah, as for tonight? It's a new dimension for me, but I'm totally looking forward to it. I'm actually excited, and I want to do more than drive."

 NA-CE smiled she wasnt sure exactly why she was extremely turned on by Vaka, but she was going with it. " Really I am very interested as well, maybe after this evening's activities I was told about, would you like to spend the evening together figuring out how are two species react in the bedroom." NA-CE and winked at Vaka. NA-CE held Vaka tighter into her chest as she looked around for her parents.

  Admiral  Hack  chuckled , His  eyes  going  to His   Wife who danced  Proudly with the LC.we're never going to have children, Nil and I. The LC lost his  parents before  we left earth, and his Bothers  Family  a few years  later..

 So.. if  you  find a  connection,  don't be  afraid of  it, you'll never know when or if there will be another one.If it doesn't last? at least you have memories?

 If you drive  for the LC> you'll get you hands  dirty. and there is a good chance The LC or   SM can survive without  a  driver..but a driver is  good to bring everyone home.... you will also see  a darker  side of the  LC...and if there is  kids  involved.. those  you meet  will suffer more  then one  might imagine... either way? after  tonight, You'll find out how much of the LC you want in the future...humm?

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

  Vaka's eye  peered up over her breasts......I...I  am eager to explore  new things...

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

 Meari smiled then replied." Ah yes we remove the trash then have our own fun. "

In reply to Isobel Sakura (msg # 45):

 Lizzy walked in with Izzy on her arm, they went into the beautiful Ballroom, Lizzy looked around and then Izzy asked her to dance, her hips were already moving to the beat of the music, Lizzy quickly replied," Of course I would love too." Lizzy then went onto the dance floor with Izzy.

 NA-CE smiled at Vaka and said," I am also up for new experiences I think it will be very fun and educational correct." NA-CE smiled then held Vaka hard against her ample chest.

In reply to ball (msg # 48):

"I'm not afraid of connections. I want to make as many as I can before they're severed. Shadow is exciting. I was put off by the violence at first, but it doesn't bother me any more. Maybe he'll change my mind. I'm not going to worry about it, though. Maybe he'll change his mind about me. I'm not sure what drew him my way in the first place. But why bother questioning it. I know this all sounds cynical, but I just feel like tomorrow isn't guaranteed, so I'm going to live today."

  when the  Dance  was  over... Captain Si lead  Shadow back to The Admiral and Maddy.

       Hack  Gave Maddy a bow  and thanked her for the dance.  , Captain Si Kissed the  top of Shadow's  head, they were about to leave   when  Flores  and  Kat  ran Up to Maddy, each Grabbing  one of her arms...

 Flores   nodded  toward    Foster and His wife, they  just left the dance floor..Go  get you Dance with    Ono.... we have to   take Maddy for a Moment!

  Go, Comrade, she is waiting  and Looking , i do not think, she  thinks. you would honor that dance..

 he Looked at Maddy and  gave a Shrug.... They  dragged her Over to  one of the drinks  tables, and then  got the burian bomb berry  drinks....

 Flores  Handed Maddy  her  drink, Kat stood  next to her,  Casey stood  off  from them along with the Gunnersmate that brought Kat...Now? we  don't  have   the  pins  like these cheerleader pins..but we  are the Wing Ladies.. The sword maidans .. there have been others  who flew on his  wing?.. but we three are the  only  Wing Ladies   there have been... to Us!

 they clinked their   glasses  together, and  drank.

  beth  watched with Roles  as    The LC  , First Asked  Foster, who motioned to Ono.     Kray approached  Ono and her  eyes  lit up and  a hand went to her  mouth.,, He  asked her  for  the dance  and her head nodded   like a teletype machine.. they  took to the   floor  and    the woman was almost crying.  Shado   smiled  and  spoke with her , and she  giggled    and  laid   her  head on his chest full on decorations..

 Ono  was a fine looking woman, but   the  pilots and  tropers who were  trained  and  fit, she  looked a little  'plain'.. But , because  'the LC' chose to dance with her,  there were suddenly  other   officers   gravitating to that spot on the floor,, Flores  smiled  with a twinkle in her  eyes... That's our Blood thirsty, LC right there.. right?

 Kat smiled,yes.. so uncaring. His ego is so big..Da?

 when the Dance  was over,  6 Officers  crowded  around   She Looked Over  Whelmed.. Kray,Motioned with One hand to Foster,  and gave her hand to Foster. he  did the  'thank you bow' to  Ono, and Foster  began to set the 'que' for  those who wanted to  dance  with his  wife,

 An Angel  woman   intercepted the  LC  as he was halfway across the   massive  floor. . he  Smiled   at her and shook his head, pointing to his  sword maidans  and continued to  walk  as she stood there  with her  fists on  rounded Hips  and   a plunging neckline that threaten to  drop its cargo at any minute.

 wow?  shoots down a Hot angel....

 she is very hot.. I would  have danced with her!  They Grinned at  Maddy as Shadow  closed in.

Stepping onto the dance floor Izzy would place her hands about Lizzy’s neck and begin to move to what sounded to her like swing music, though the song and instruments being played by the band were unfamiliar to her. After the stress and horrors of the last few days it was nice to just relax within Lizzy’s arms and enjoy the music as it flowed through her ”I may have to keep an eye on you, I’m sure I heard a couple of people shouting your name out there” Izzy quietly joked with a giggle, recalling the people outside that had come to see their heroes attend the ball, with one of them being her fiancé ”I never realised I was being seduced by someone quite so famous!”

In reply to Samantha Robertson (msg # 44):

Zob chuckled as he went with Sam out to the dance floor and his time spent at all the other balls was paying off causing him to move fluidly across the floor in flow with the music, "I was never a fan of politics most of them are corrupt with the rare exception of course, and only out to advance their own station... not only that i don't think he really likes me" he laughed a bit at the last part of his statement not caring one bit for what others thought of him outside the hermes social circle.

After the dance with Admiral Hack, Madison felt different. Before this, she had felt like he didn't even know who she was. Now she was someone of note. What she didn't know was whether it was all because she was on Kray's arm, or because she was  distinguishing herself in battle. Did she care? Before she had a chance to ponder it, she was intercepted by Kat and Candy.

After a quick redirect of Shadow, they pulled her over to a drink table where they had Burian Berry Bombs. It was a welcoming into a very exclusive club, and Madison was thrilled.

"Oh hells yeah. To US!!" She drank down the bomb, reminded of how delicious and how strong it was. As they drank they watched Kray dance with Ono, then shoot down a really sexy hot Angel.

"She was hot. But he knows who's waiting for him."

  The  Girls  waited  for  him .. they Had  Grins. he stopped  a few feet away...his eyes   went from one to the  Other..What....?

 Is nothing , Comrade LC... you have fun, Da?maybe, I get dance later too?

 Flores nodded..Me to!..I get one later...

 Shadow looks at Maddy....Since they both  want later? I suppose that means yu are stuck with now? he holds  out  his hand  with  a crooked  grin.

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

 Nugest! he  found  a Female Officer from  the  Apefolk drop ships, she had  more  fur them he  did , which she was more  Ape-man..then Man-ape..  but they seemed to match up rather well.

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

 I think..we should  get a  drink, yes..it seems  warm in here...  Vaka  said  with a  rather  coy look.

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

 frakas  dance   with    Meari, the hands  moved  a bit, hard to keep track , but none of them were inappropriate we are very Lucky , Meari... because  of  one moment of stupidity on E-1, with those spider  things? I was almost 'Not here.' One brave  little human  got the   poison  so we  could  get the  antitoxin.... I am very angry at that person who almost got many of us  killed.

"Poor me." Madison took his hand. "I'll try not to wear you out. I wouldn't want my fellow sword maiden's left unsatisfied." She went with him to the dance floor.

   There was a deep chuckle   and  smile   as Shadow tok her onto the Floor once more,You know?   I only ever  had  2... well 3  now  , sword  maidens... some one called Flores  and kat Shile maidens.. but   i corrected them... you  Ladie s and kill bad  guys just as well as i can... If  i would have been a Viking king? i'd  want sword  maidens...he; with that shield stuff..

 I like , that they Like you Its going to make our  flight  very effective, and if you...enjoy. Yourself  tonight..  we'll see about you getting that  Black keycard for the Black Hanger...So, Miss maddy..you are stepping into the deep end of the pool, some of the others   still hve their  swimmies on..
