Andruss   followed with a  smile, leaning into her ,instructers  always said i was an overachiver

There was another soft, almost throaty chuckle from Tarja as she replied in a whisper ”so I can see…perhaps it is time to try something a little more advanced?” she said before kissing him again as her hands slowly started to remove his shirt.

It was snowing all around her as she ran through the forest, her breath billowing out in great white clouds as she shouted for brothers “Tuomas! Erik! Come back this isn’t funny! I want to go home!” but her cries for help went unanswered as she continued to run through the forest with the pink puffer jacket her mother had dressed her in doing little against the growing cold. Pushing through yet another dense thicket in the blind hope that she would see her little house in the woods, twelve years would seemingly pass in the blink of an eye and she would be standing over the gurgling body of a dying Russian with a blood stained knife in her hands. But this wasn’t the Russian boy she had killed all those years ago. No it was Andruss staring up at her with confused, pleading eyes as his blood welled up between his fingers as he desperately tried to hold the wound in his throat closed.

Suddenly there was the snap of a branch prompting her spin around just to see the Russian boy lunging at her with hatred in his dead eyes”

Awakening with a cry Tarja would struggle against her attacker, elbowing him in the ribs in order to escape arms holding her. It was only after she had fallen out of bed in a tangle of bedsheets with startled yelp and cracked her head upon the floor that the line between dreams and reality would return and that she would remember it was Andruss that was currently sharing her bed causing her to quietly swear as she lay on the cold, hard floor with a throbbing head ”Paska, paska, paska…”

Andruss  looked  Up,, he reached out a gentle hand.Tarja? what is wrong? he    slipped  down on the   floor to  try to sit her  up.

 You were flailing about?

As Andruss knelt down beside her, his arms going about her body as he helped her up into a sitting position, Tarja would begin to reply in sleep slurred Finnish before muttering “paska” again and switching to English ”Sorry…I have…recurring nightmare…I didn’t hurt you, did I?” she asked, guiltily recalling that she had elbowed him before promptly falling out of bed ”paska, I’m not going to get to sleep again”

   Andruss  was concerned, but not  doting. He shook his head as he  , gently Got her up...sure you will. You need the sleep, in case there is   training  today...

  Pulling  her  into the Bed, he wrapped an arm around her,Relax? You can tell me about the dream later, close your eyes, even if you don't sleep, you'll get some rest?

Thankfully would sound concerned rather than angry or freaked out by her outburst with her allowing herself to be gently lifted to her feet and put back into bed. As he put his arms around her, Tarja would nestle in closer to him, grateful for the warmth and comfort that they offered ”yes…rest…I have training l…and young lover” she tiredly sighed into his chest as she attempted to do as he asked if only so he could get some rest. However although it would take a little longer than normal she would eventually fall into a thankfully dreamless sleep.

After awakening sufficiently early enough to take full advantage of having an attractive young man in her bed without the risk of them being late for duty, Tarja would lie next to Andruss and stare at the underside of the top bunk as she tried to catch her breath ”I hope that makes up for me waking you?” she asked in a breathless voice, smiling as she glanced across at him ”I could make coffee while you use shower if you like?” she offered with her knowing for a fact that she actually had coffee to offer him this time.

Dressed only in a man’s large T-Shirt, Tarja had put on a pot of coffee and poured them both a cup before beginning to tidy away some more of her belongings whilst Andruss used her shower with her offering him a smile as he came out of the tiny bathroom ”I have poured you a coffee, milk is in fridge and sugar in pot on the side” she said leaning up to give him a peck on the cheek as she passed him ”you don’t have to wait for me if you don’t want to, I will see you in mech compound” she continued before closing the bathroom door behind her.

After grabbing a quick shower she would change into a fresh duty uniform before putting her hair up into its usual tight bun, sipping coffee as she did so with her then having a quick breakfast. Once she had finished her breakfast Tarja would buckle on her weapons belt and head down to the hangar dec to see what the day had in store for her.

——> Hangar Dec

  Andruss   would  return the kiss, and give her a  tight hug.Yeah? I'll have to  go dow the p-way and get a frsh uniform. This was a good  night? Sometime, you have to tell me about  , whatever that dream, was.

 Fixing  the coffee,  Andruss  would drink it  as he   tidied away  the  table as best he could. he made the  Bed, and went off  to his quarters, and them to the mech Area.

 Na-CE smiled at the guards and went to her quarters, she got everything completely squared away. When that was completed, she sat down and then her comms go off. NA-CE checked it and they called for a med tech at the Mech Bay, NA-CE wondered if one of the Armored troops got hurt on the hull. NA-CE replied to the Comm from Kira," Master Sgt. This is Corporal NA-CE combat med tech on my way." 

 NA-CE grabbed her gear and then headed to the Hanger Dec.

 NA-CE came onto the dec and went to her quarters, she went in and then got out of her armor and took a shower to try to relax, she was exhausted. NA-CE knes she had to work harder and push herself even more. Once she felt a little better she made sure her duty uniform was all set and then headed for the Rec Dec.

------>>>>> To Rec Dec

<=== from tunnel run

Nearly at a crawl the gava headed to their quarters.  There Jug and others quickly showered and changed.  A few had stomachs growl hard.
"We will eat well tonight" Jug stated fastening her tunic.  Others nodded.  soon they were off to the RecDec.


=====> to the RecDec and dinner

——> Rec Dec (Previous day)

Tarja would softly sigh as she awoke in Andruss’ arms with her gently nuzzling up against his neck ”sorry I woke you…again” she softly murmured, having awoken screaming in the middle of the night, though at least this time she had managed to stay in the bed. Also she wasn’t sure if Andruss had been expecting it this time or whether he simply had quick reactions, but she had found her wrists pinned to her sides as he gently stroked her hair in a calming way with her soon settling back to sleep afterwards.

”We should probably think about getting up…” she softly whispered but made no move to follow through with that suggestion with her instead snuggling in closer to him. Her quarters were in a far better state than when he had last stopped over, with her having tidied away most of her clothes and possessions with her having also gone as far as tacking up a few sketches on the wall, most of which were depicting wildlife though there was one of a group of soldiers around a campfire and another of a mech in amongst a copse of pine trees ”…of we could just stay in bed?”

  Andruss, chuckled , in his chest.well? I don't know about you, but i have a Mech that is  waiting to be tweaked , if  i'm going to be able to come  back and do this  , after, an After party..

  he  gives here a  playful slap on the thigh...we have to go... I have to show Kira  i am ready. You have  to show your  Unit, , you are ready.

Jug and the other Gava awoke from their sleep pile.  Yes, they were hungry again and ached some from yesterdays workout and run.  quickly they showered and got ready, they would be on duty in an hour or so.  it would give them time to eat from the mess hall.  Soon they were ready and Jug inspected them before leaving their quarters.

==> to Enlisted Mess Hall then Hangar Dec and SEC check in

There was a surprised yelp, followed by a playful punch to Andruss’ shoulder in retaliation to the slap to her leg, with her then chuckling as she rolled out of bed and walked naked to the space she generously referred to as her kitchen ”I suppose you would like me to make you coffee whilst you use my shower?” she called over her shoulder to him with a mischievous look in her dark eyes, her body a combination of feminine curves and sleek muscles ”I’d better get to hangar dec and help Meari with suit, she didn’t have good day yesterday” Tarja continued as she started making the coffee.

 Andruss   chuckled  again,Unless you need to shower  as well, then we could save  time and water if  we  both showered....we can get  coffee  at the  Mech area's  pot.

There was another throaty chuckle from Tarja as she turned to look at Andruss ”hmm you could make sergeant with thinking like that” she said as she put away the cups and began walking towards the bathroom, beckoning for Andruss to follow her.

Once they were done in the shower they would both get dressed, with Tarja pulling on her tight fitting suit lining followed by her boots and coveralls ”It was shame you couldn’t join us yesterday, it would have been nice to introduce you to team…oh well another time perhaps?…are you coming?” she said as she buckled on her weapons belt and started walking towards the door.

After extending an invitation for Andruss, who had still seemed preoccupied with preparing his mech for battle, to join her, Tarja had returned to her quarters figuring that Andruss would come and join her if and when he was able to.

Stripping out of her coveralls and suit lining, she would take a quick shower before slipping an oversized T-shirt on and climbing into bed with a glass of pale green vodka and one of the cakes from the other day. After perusing what films the ship’s entertainment system had to offer she would opt for a comedy with the Finnish subtitles switched on and settle down to relax.

At some point during the film Tarja had clearly dozed off, with the sirens waking her up with a start. Turning the vid screen, which that was currently showing the end credits, off. Tarja would calmly slip out of bed and return the empty glass to the kitchen before changing back into her uniform and heading out the door as she sent the message “suit up” to those within her tiny unit.

Upon entering her quarters Tarja would sigh as she surveyed the things she was still yet to find a home for scattered around in small, neat piles in amongst the clothing she was yet to put in the laundry basket. If she concentrated she could almost hear her mothers voice telling her to tidy her room "Kyllä äiti" she wearily sighed to the empty room before stripping off her uniform and heading into the shower.

After several days in a suit of armour, the shower was heavenly and as a result she probably spent far longer in it than was strictly necessary. However once she was done she would change into some clean clothes and set about tidying up, just in case she had company tonight. Once she had got her quarters tidied up into a presentable state she would head out of the door and head towards the rec dec so as to attend the after party.

------>>>>>> From Hanger Dec

 Meari got to her quarters, she got undressed and took a long nice hot shower and relaxed. She then cleaned up, got a clean duty uniform on, she got her weapons then headed down to the rec dec.

-------->>>>>>> From Med Tech

 NA-CE stored her gear and got undressed, it felt good to get out of that armor for awhile. She wasnt sure what to wear for this after party so she just put on off duty clothes, a nice low-cut blouse and skintight pants. She heard you could wear anything at the after party and decided to just go relaxed and have fun. She got her weapons they always had to be armed that was a Hermes standing order. She had he Angel Steel pulse sidearm, Angel Steel hard ammo sidearm on her belt in two opposite holsters, had her Angel steel dagger in her boot and wore the Burian blade with honor on her hip.

 Once NA-CE was ready she made her way to the Rec Dec.

With her recent rejection still fresh in her mind, not to mention the inescapable feeling that she had been quietly dumped, Tarja would enter her compact quarters and scold herself in Finnish for a few minutes before stripping out of her clothes and going to bed before she was able to make things any worse.

The dream started like all the others only this time it wasn’t the Russian that rushed her from the trees but Andruss. In one fluid motion Tarja would “awaken”, sit bolt upright, and the slam her fist into the wall with the scream of fear turning to one of pain. And so it was with throbbing knuckles that Tarja would curl back up into bed and try and find some rest before her alarm went off.

The following morning would start with her grabbing a quick shower, followed by her applying some antiseptic cream and plasters to her knuckles, with her just grateful that she hadn’t broken any bones on this occasion. She would then remove the case containing her dress uniform from out of her wardrobe and get changed, with her standing in front of the small bathroom mirror to make sure she looked alright before heading out the door so she could attend the ceremony due to take place in a few minutes time.

 Meari got out of her Uniform, in just her underwear and a large robe she headed for Captain Si's Quarters.

Jug and others cleaned their quarters and prepped their uniforms.  they knew what was going to be coming so also prepped their weapons.
