The QM's   CAge  sailor   was  smiling just a bit,..now you know?  SGT, that there's no way in the 9 hells  they'er letting yo down there  with the same stuff you got to war with?

  ..now?  we can tag this stuff?  Send it  down? but that doesn't mean it will reach you..they got scanners like we do?..that C-10 will light up  like a Sanri Birthday cake.

  The QM comes up behind the  PO,.. his right? But if you wanna  roll the dice, we kin try and send  it down if ya  call fer it...

Not sendin it down until I have a way too.  Right now, I'm just clumping it into a pretty little bunch in case shit hits the fan and/or I can get a way to get it down safely.  Worse comes to worse, I'll just have it ready for the next conflict.

 Both the PO and QM seem satisfied , as the QM adds,..Right then! .. we'll have it  ready, as tidy as we kin get it...

 The PO   was already sending the info to those in the back.

<<<<<<<  Sath from  Non-coms

    Walking thought he ship. the pair of aliens had the feeling, that if it wasn't for thier Uniforms  , folks would have    tried to gun them down.


  As the  walk Lirg talks  with his  right  paw-hand in motion,..From what i know?... Humans on hermes..have seen such things as aliens on their ship..who do not try to kill them?   I look up some old reports on computer  in my quarters... There was  largan before.. he went   crazy...it is uncertain if enemy kill him..or  his won sqaud mates?..There was  ornage Demon man...he his gone somewhere... there are Occui on ship..some are tech people..some help fight.. and a few Sanri..

 he sighed,..My  People..to Proud of fighting... to...taken in..by weak Humans on Everest.... Hack come..like   hammer of iron... then..hurt our planet bad...there were some  of us..who did not wish Hyrians to die off... so?  we take HAck's offer.. and Go to  Delta Colonies.. and Live under APF  flag... we also have one ship..of Hyrains  who travel with fleet  to help fight... I hear..some of our colonieds are seeking to sign  with APF... others  call out to aid from Empire to help fight back..... But homeworld...Homeworld is hurt bad... it will take al they can do..to save it..

  As they arrive at the Cage.. Lirg says to the  PO looking up at them from the window,..This is Sath..he tell you what he  needs...

"My brothers and sisters are the same. They want fight and eat and demons help do this." He shook his head. "I wish they see the error, turn against demons, but not yet." He shrugged. "Soon maybe. I hope."

"Did you know my brother?" He asked Lirg "This go crazy, go feral. Not likely.... ...Only, old, old Largran go into... how say.. Berserk?" He shook his head "I think lie."

As they arrived at the QM Cage Sath approached and bowed his head. "I need boarding Armor. Chief said first free."

  Lirg shakes his slow,..i only be on  Hermes?.. Month maybe? fight some  of little Qarl people... fight gold Nivar people..some...thick blackish men on  Green Moon?..do not lnow what they are.. have small people..like Qarl..only not  same?...

 his muzzles   goes left and  right  as he adds,..Big spider people..eat..everythign?.. they...side with Hermes folk..they....make me  uneasy...

  well?....  The PO looks  at the sleeve,..SGT?.. Come in through the GAte when the Buzzer rings.. we'll try and suit you up.. Lirg  can come with you....

 The gate Buzzes  and she  waves her  hand backwards, were a  Big fellow  in  the Green of the  Armory folks is helping Unpack weapons and assemble them.

  As the two aliens    step into the Back,  they  people look up ( unconcerned, sicne there are enough weapons around to deal with two oversized  creatures.

 well?... They said there was a LArgran on board... whatcha  say we get you suited up...now?..  you get a choice.. Heavy..medium , or light.... don't know how the lizrards do it.. but the ehavier armor fer us.. makes ya slower?

Sath nodded "Yes. This is why I'm here."

"Light best. Heavy is slow. I am already. Do not need more slow."

"You have improvements too?"

  The QM who seemed to like to chew on , unlit cigars, Much like Rivets,  shrugged,Well?.... what we have is this.. we'll  have to tailor the skin part to  fit you, and the  armor  will go on that.. ... Light is good for   boarding and  any   ops that take you inside..most folks still use it in  big battles  too?..comes down to what you like?

  now?.. we have   worked on all the helmets so the Mic  and aslo access the COMs.. helps  ground folks  talk with air support or shuttles..... we are always loking  for imporvements.. but it is hard to get the balence of what we need...as opposed to what we want

"I need speed" He said. "This is what I need, maybe can modify to better speed?" He shrugged "I don't know."

He looked at the QM unsure if he was making himself clear enough. "This is good for now if no speed modify... should I try on?"

  The  QM  pushes back his soft cover,takes the chewed  cigar out  ( rules against smoking and all) and points it at  Sath.

 ..we have Limited use...limited  power thrusters, but that's manily for   Black... we haven't  found much in the way of augmenting the armor, since it is mostly  plated sections?... The ehavy suits   have a bit of power to help move legs?.. but they are damned heavy.. and..again..mostly for  space...

Unsure Sath hesitates for a moment and then takes the cigar out of the QMs hands immediately placing it in his mouth. "Thanks..." He said bowing his head, convinced he was being offered it. "I chew?" He said awkwardly as his tongue wiggled a little around the cigar. It tasted strange to him but he began to chew.

Immediately regretting it. He coughed and spluttered a little but said nothing only swallowed it as quickly as he could.

He cleared his throat with a cough and a bit a gag reflex. "Very Nice" He lied not wanting to cause offense... "I understand. Light suit will be fine. I take this."

 The QM watched in horror as his  Cigar was devoured.. the other s  tried not  to laugh...Lirg just stood and blinked.

 ..ahhh..Boyo!  ye ain't supposed ta tead it.. i mean..not all at once... ye best be gitting some water.. yuou might   get sick as a dog....

 Lirg Titled his head...

 ..not yuou. you over grown furball..human dogs... i mean.. the dogs  that  humans have.. like the  one that follow  Doc  Henry around!

 One of the   women began to  measure  Sath up... Unlike  Humans, Lirg and  Sath's  suits  needed   skin sections  to be applied as well, for their tails...

 she looked up at Sath  while one of the  others  was loading the  machine with the Light armor..anti-power weapon  texttiles....alright SGT.. Come back in a few  hours.. we have you try it on.

"Yes water is good idea." He nodded still trying to clear his throat a little. He felt a little uncomfortable being touched for his measurements especially his tail but he quickly shook the feeling off. "Sorry for error" he said to the QM "I will come back in hours"

Sath turned back to Lirg "Anywhere else you need show me?"

   Lirg and   Sath walked out of the  QMs, Lirg said to the   person at the window,..Please to COM... Sath  when suit is ready for the trying on?

 The   clerk Punched in some  things on the  Vidbaord,..there  you go,  you'll be notified when it is ready.

"Thank you" He said to both Lirg and the Clerk.

"Now where?" He asked "Anything else I need?"

    The broad shouldered  Hyrian  held both his   arm with a shrug,..That is up to you, I should think...We can go to the Rec Dec if you would wish to eat something.. we could  go to observation dec if you want to look at the Station...I hear, we may be permitted to go on the station tomorrow.. but  they will not allow us before... snice  both are kind have caused problems in this Quad.

Sath hrmphed at the mention of their kind causing trouble in the areas.

"Ok. Let's eat." He said. Realizing he was quite hungry. "They have meat raw meat?" He asked hopefully.

He started back towards the elevator expecting that to be the way he need to go.

"You eat too?" He asked

  The Hyrian nods,..yes..   they  will serve us  raw if  you want..or undercooked..if you want more textrue and still want blood.. they have  some good..water food.. they call soup?.. you get meat soup?.. it is good...They serve  raw meat for the Human's  tiny Hyrian...


Sath-Lirg>>>>>>>>> to Rec dec.

>>>> from SEC
hans stepped off the lift and made his way to the quartermaster to withdraw his gear

   Some  folks  were  around the QMs.  Tucker  had two cans of  60 call hard ammo ..his carbine    and regular chest armor.

 Supe   had  his 'lucky' cutoff sleeves   Light  blue  working  uniform shirt and  a   .60 cal he  was  double checking , right in front of the  Cage Clerk.

 ..Look?.. PO?.. we cleaned in  put  a few brand new parts in..oiled it...and  ..sheesh.. you'er going hunting  for  Scum bags.. not Demon regulars

 ..yeah... you can say that in here... but we're the ones  taking fires.

 The QM  came out  from.. a 'new' stub to be chewed on , in his mouth,...don't  be raggin' on  me   Lads and LAsses . You ain't come back dead yet...

 Tucker looked  up  as he  slammed    the mag into the carbine's  bottom...there are the ones you have to watchy out  for... the 'no brainers.'..can't change  what you do?

 Hodden  and Minnet   settled for  Heavy Pulse   weapons..should be good  enough for a skirmish...

 Hemlsy was   talking to  Weber  about   Demo.

  Lirg and Sath were approaching the Cage

 Waggstaff and  Robbins    were in  dark ops  gear, with baseball caps, trying to look like " guys  out for a bit of fun'.

  They waited on Jesse and Garrat... Dalton's going to have the OminCOM..  Master chief  won't let us bring 2 in, because she doesn't want it to look like a Full scale  Jump off...... Waggstaff  said.

 Robbins  added,..Etna SEC has  us  locked in for a 9:00 ..'hunt time'... they said there might be  Hunters coming  down from the Uppers too?.. we'll have to make sure of  2 things.... we don't  kill them... and  we get to Hikki's before them

 Supe was  watching the clock, as they waited for the others   to  arrive and Gear up.

 ..remember.. shoot bad  guys.. try not to kill any kids   unless you  have to stop them from killing you...The Goal is to reach Hikki's place.... My people will cross over once  we   reach the street that elads  to Hikki's , across the stem.. there is a good bet we'll have to fight our way across ..

>>>>>Hans to STEM

Sath approached the cage and and lent against it.

"My armor ready? Nobody call but I check." He asked "Maybe you have some...." He paused and frowned as he searched for the word. "Quiet? Not Loud? Uhhh" The word suddenly came to him and he announced it in a little excitement "Silenced!" and he immediately noticed he was being loud and brought his voice back down to a normal level and cleared his throat.

"You maybe have silenced Largran Machine Pistol or Close Rifle?"

   Looking through the   Vidboard, the   Seamen at the cage....we have a  sineced  Human carbine?  and  we can jury rig a human silencer to a Largran  pistol, ..it  might make it a bit heavier then you would like?...But it should  work.

"Yes Thanks, I like Largran Pistol more. Also maybe have Silence I add to my Largran LR-X Long Range Machine Rifle? Only when need, not permanent?"
