Ajax half-smiled between bites:  "You are definately not 16 honey!
...maybe we can go see Stefi today and find out what they put down on your chip."

...So after we eat, are you up for a trip to see Slick on the Hangar dec?"

  She  smiles...yep,,,i suppose? I want to be home in time to see the  new episode of Captain Lighting  and His Heroes of The Black! They are supposed to  be  having a big battle tonight!es a bit,

Ajax smiled and worked on his pancakes: "Sure thing babe! ...Maybe I can watch it too. I might get an idea for the Mechs!" 
He was mostly kidding her, but new ideas sometimes come from strange places.

 finishing  most of her pancakes ( and  all the  syrup ) she  runs to her  room to get dressed.

  coming out  in jeans and a  " I love Hermes " T-shirt. she  says,I'm Ready!

In reply to Sam (msg # 93):

Ajax got dressed in casual duty and he and Sam took off for the Hangar Dec.

Along the way Ajax spotted the largran Merc Raja in his hoodie trying to look inconspicuous?
...and thought that a bit odd.

He gave the big largran a small wave and freindly smile as they passed on the street.

Sam asked after they passed, getting to the ramp:
"Is that the largran? ...Wow hes scary looking!"

"Yeah... but he's a good guy as far as I can tell. ...No problems yet anyway."

Hunter leads his small group down from the rec deck towards the Farms.
At the control point he stops and checks with whoever is on duty and authority.
Asking the person if it is possible for the Felerites with him to see and meet one of the cats

  They walk down through the 'street' of the Civie  section. People stared  at the Cats   with Hunter.
  they get to the far end of the 'street and the  two SEC troopers  there look over the Cats and Scan Hunter's ID,..You folks can go down? But if the FArmers  ask you to leave,,,you ahve to leave....Understood?

"Not a problem" Hunter assures Security

  the  doors  slide  ope, the tunnel here is wider from brining the crops  to 'market"  about 100 or so feet down the  tunnel , that slopes  slightly downward, the can smel the   plants growing  and the moisture of  water...the sounds   for   cows and  such.

 reching the Bottom, 2 Militia stand with Pulse weapons.  spread out before Hunter  and the others is " the FArm"  ( ho to new  Farm thread)

Hunter moves slowly, carefully.
"Good evening gentlemen", and offers ID

    Joseph makes his way down the "street" to the abandoned pet shop hauling his gear.  He stops looking at it.  What does he see?

 because this is a Ship and not a planet bound  town. The building is rather well taken care of. There is even a Cat walking around inside incase pests  make it  past the Vermine 'guns' in the  tunnel.

   a Glass window  with the door to the right of it ( as you look at it). The steps  up from the 'street' The second floor  as  2 sets of  w2  small windows, that are assumed to  be either bedrooms  or just plain empty?

  The Note on the  door   says to Go see  Mr Smithson, who handles  a lot of the  Rentals and such. His building is right next to Ajax  Building.

In reply to Joe Mac (msg # 101):

   Joseph looks at the building, down the street, then back at the building.  He sighs, "Mandy, could you wait here while I go get the keys?"

 the  woman Nods her head  quickly as she looks  around. Perhaps a bit uneasy as she looks around at some of the people who are watching them

In reply to Mandy (msg # 103):

    "sorry, we'll get you settled as soon as possible."

    Joseph makes haste to the property manager and knocks on the door.

  Smithson  comes out  of his Building, he see's  Joe Mac and goes back in,returning in a  minute  with key cards.

  ..So, hear tell you are going to try and  run a shop?...We're you in trouble a bit ago with the Admiral?  he asks  as he sees the  tired, but pretty young  woman on the Steps.

  He stop s and nods to her, she smiles a tired smile.OK...you got  about  30 yards  from side to side, and 20 yards  from the window to the counter...there's a door on each side of the counter, one leads to the back..the room  there is  another  10 yards  deep, but same  width  as the front, for your goods....the  right hand  door. leads to steps  that take you up... a  narrow   balcony runs the length  of the building..you got  2 full  rooms upstairs, and one to the back is the bathroom, the  two in the front are living quarters..they come  with  bedroom stuff... there is a small Kitchenette Between the  two living  quarters...it has everything you need..'cept food I guess. 

 From what i understand? you are paid up for the first two month, after that, its  100 creds a month...I don't keep track SEC does...i don't think there's a ship in the fleet that hasn't  sent  some  poor bastards to the  Delta Colonies, because  they couldn't or wouldn't pay...

 he hads the two key card to Joe Mac.....you lose them..you report it to SEC, they make you two new ones  and  they change the  lock readingss...each card costs 100 creds..so..well..don't lose them.

   Joseph smiles, "Thank ya fer bein nice to the lass."  He continues to walk back towards the store with the landlord.  "She has come from the school of hard knocks but wants to help.  We don't have a huge amount of starter money so we are startin light with an espresso stand then will turn the profits towards a hobby store for the rest.  I have already poured every penny I have into it so anywhere I can pick up a dime for next months rent, I'm on it.  I intend to stay one month ahead on the rent so I have a buffer."


    Joseph ponders, "In trouble with the Admiral huh?  It would be interesting to know what people saying.  That aside.." Joseph looks up at the lighting system in the street that [I'm guessing here and will edit if needed] simulate sunshine.  "What are the rules for setting a couple of tables out in front of the shop so people can get a community feel?"

The Civi section lights, like those of the 'farm' are on at all times,  it keeps the  trees and flowers growing ( some  folks  planted their own vegatables after removing the flowers!)..and to cut  down on crime. Though there isn't much, every now and then  some blackguard will slip through the cracks.

 Mr  Smithson rubs his chin, I guess you could? but everytime  there would be battle stations, youy would have to pack things  Up to secure them..loose  stuff fling around isn't any good for anyone?..and you would lose what ever goods you have out  here..mostly through damage?  We mormally have 15 minutes to secure things  and  get  no9n-conbatants into the shelter under the street...

  Joseph notes the mans choice not to discuss what he heard but moves on.  "Okay, three tables, light and inexpensive.  Is there insurance to cover any property damage inside the buildings or are we on our own."

  Smithson shurgs as he looks   around at the street, ain't no one  fooling themsleves here? This is a warship..it might   be home..or it might  a ride?...so?  when the time comes  to check damage..SEC  checks it out...if the find its on you?..then..its on you...if the damage  came from attacks  or  some hostile bastard trying to ruin our lives? then the fleet will pick up the repairs...

 he  Mused for  a second,..The Ahtena spaced two civies for fraud... he shrugs,something to keep in mind.

   Joseph snorts, "Ya don't bite the hand that's keepin ya safe from the black.  Any Idiot knows that."

  Smithson chuckled,..They didn't..the woman laughed at SEC, said..'what ya gonna  do..space me?"..

 he grinned,..she was right.... there have been rumors of others here and there... The Odin sent three Civies they found out were tied up  with  EDT....guess there's always rats on board..just gonna find them is all....

   At the mention of EDT Josephs face grew a little hard "I'm beginning to like Hacks way of dealing with EDT.  Good steel always needs a little carbon."

..You have the right of  it there. But..what is worisome?..Odin is  a Norsegod Class  Cruiser? They are built at Fuji's  orbit yards....that means folks  are either Turning, who live on Fuji, or  travelers who are EDT and worm their way into the Fleet.

   Joseph nods, "The EDT was running rampant in the stem and some business' in the lowers were bought out by the EDT.  A certain fighter Jock created a series of accidents that remedied the situation.  That had the recruiters snagging one of the Hermes pilots and making for an escape hatch and calling for cover fire.  A civilian friend of mine died when we tried to help rescue the pilot.  Esn owns Fuji but there are still plenty of rats to squish in the stem.  I've heard people day that part should be made over into factories and push all the scum out, I don't think it will ever happen.  There will always be a dark side to humanity."
   Joseph keys the door and helps Mandy get the gear in and invites the owner in with them.  Mandy here came from Olympus.  It has fallen to the EDT.  I need to talk with someone official. She, and others have information about people who have been sneaking into Fuji and stealing children.  It hasn't been easy on the adults either."
