Tori's tail gave an irritated swish as she was bumped. Just as her ears flattened, Det gave Shep a bump of his own. Tori made one of her Muttley-esque giggles.
"Course he is. He has everything else he wants. Norrin ain't got nuthin' Tony wants." Sure that there will be no more jostling, Tori resumes her meal. "He can pick 'em off one by one, or 'void 'em completely. I wish we had some trainin' time. One of us would be right glad to show ya there ain't no chance a human or even human-dog squad could take down a motivated feline."

"No cat, you three or otherwise, is going to keep up with one of those fly boys." Shep said while chewing on a piece of bacon. " I know things ain't exactly smooth between ChiTown and Quebec, so I'd like to know what General Sykes coughed up to get those SkyHawks out of them? I know they didn't come cheap."
Det chuckled," Well, I might be spreading rumours, but there was talk just before we got reassigned of an inquiry into theft of CS miliatry equipment. An entire resupply delivery of Skysweepers and Linebackers. Black Market connections are getting the blame though."
Shep chuckled," I can see the General pulling something like that. Not that anyone would ever find out. At least it's our people flying them. Should make you shags happy, since you seem to have a hate on for FQ boys."

"I'll take that bet. It's only 250 clicks. We kin hump it." Tori tore into her own bacon, tail still swishing. "An we kin hump it fast.
"I'd like to know what all them frogs are doin' in tha swamp. We got Beliveau playin' 'doctor' in tha swamp, and now we got Skyhawks? Is tha' Imp-rer havin' Tremblay over fer supper an' not tellin' us?"
Tori snorted. "Their glitterboy squads got better capabilities than skysweepers and linebackers. Plus they gots grinnin' skulls and Mk-IX's. If yer right, we're swapping shit fer crap. "
Tori shoveled as much scrambled eggs into her mouth as she could, but other than eating quickly, never displayed poor manners.
"Sorry, Mr. Trask. I was juss a rescue swimmer at SSM." Tori took a few breaths. "I saw Deadboys cut in half by boomguns and laser fire. When jets passed over, everyone in EVAC thought it was a SAMAS an' ducked. I saw merchant marine vessels gittin' a torpedo to break the barges back. Them FQ flyboys delivered some casualties."

Janxi was nearly done eating but nodded occasionally at Tori's points. "Yeah, I was slated for the next deployment to Wisconsin before the war ended. Lotta guys in 2nd Recon fought in the Quebec war. Ain't nuthin' but a bunch of ingrates and traitors iffen ya ask me. 'Sides, Beliveau couldn't save his patient, but iffen he woulda hoteled alpha, we might coulda saved Sneaker and Fangs. We damn near lost yew. I ain't waitin fer an savin no more damn frogs."
She got some of the last of the yolk on her toast and took a bite. "An' we might not keep up, but I reckon we could catch up..."

" I suggest you focus on the mission you are assigned." The Colonel replied sternly. " I have faith in Lt. Norrin and his team to handle our rogue. Now if nothing else, dismissed. Your bird lifts in one hour." Shep looked at the cats," You heard the man. chow time, we're wasting daylight." Scope stepped beside Sam, " Captain, you okay? Awful quiet." Sam nods at Scope as she follow the others, thinking about the details of the mission they'd just been given. "Yeah, I'm good." she says to him with a smile. "It's good to have you back with the team." |

Takota doesn't have much to add to the conversation. Not to mention he is enjoying his breakfast and is quite reluctant to interrupt it.
"For his sake I kind of hope the tiger shows up where we are rather than the off chance of him being caught by some other team that would be less than professional with a rogue cat." he says after clearing his plate of food.

"Who says they are going to try to catch him?" Det said after washing down a mouthful. "Easiest way is put a couple holes in him and drag the carcass back."
Shep eyed the borg," That's a little cold, don't you think? "
Det shrugged," No different than what we'd do for anyone else."
Shep shook his head, turning his attention back to the shags and their gripes, " You know the old saying that goes 'ours is not to reason why'?" He saw Sam and Scope approaching with their trays and couldn't help himself," Sucking up to the boss, Scope?"
"Somebody has to , and no one else wants the job from the looks of things." Scope replied, digging into his flapjacks as soon as he sat.
"Good, then you can be her RTO. Janxi was whining she didn't want to carry the radio anyways. You should be able to handle the weight though."
Scope groaned slightly, but said nothing and kept eating.
Det looked across the table to Sam, " Captain, are we going to to just blow that thing or are we really going to try to capture it?"

I response to the comments Shep and Det had about the tiger Takota replies to Shep, " I feel the same as Det. I'd rather make it quick than prolong any suffering he might go through. No offense meant but you know how many humans are. If they get the chance to torture something ... they will." He pauses for a moment then lowers his voice. "We three ..." the leopard gestures to the other two cats at the table, "... are among the lucky ones to be assigned to a unit that has people who care in it."
Takota is smart enough to keep his voice low so that he can't be overheard by others at surrounding tables. Such talk tends to get one in trouble sometimes.

Tori's ears flattened at Det's comment. "We're not trophies... He is different than everyone else. He's our kind." She said no more on that.
She listened to Takota's response and nodded. That was the end of that.
"Whadda we know bout drivin' giant cannons? Yeah, if we can take it, let's. But that's above and beyond the mission. I reckon we'll have our hands full wif tha new owners, and our bess bet's gon' be tha missile strike. We might have to disable it a lil, or you know, drop some key personnel, juss so the Tomahawks have a safe ride in and splash on target."

"If I ever leave the loving pride that is the CS, I would wish someone... Someone like Soccer-teez would vow to put a couple of holes in meh an drag meh back to camp." Janxi's club-like tail tail gave two thumps against the table-leg and she swallowed the rest of her milk.
She whispered, "We're in good company, wif a Capt'n an' an XO that val-ew whaad we bring to tha' table, and I ain't bearin' no malice. I also ain't lettin' no rednecks torture another feline, an' that's that. We agree, a clean kill an' no scalpin."
"Fleabag's right, we splash the arty, and go from dere. I can't drive a supertank! Let's bomb it and go home. Let's snipe commanders and slip bowmbs down it's barryl."

"I didn't mean it that way, Tori." Det replied, sounding apologetic.
"Norrin will be professional about it, Janxi." Shep replied to her concerns. " It's nice to hear you fuzzballs are happy where you are though." He grinned.
Scope looked at the others with a twinkle in his eye. "I'm all for fragging this thing too, but is this a good time to point out that I'm qualified to pilot everything short of an Abolisher or Firestorm that we have in service? I've never 'jacked a supertank before."

"Why thankya, Scope... I gotta bag-a tools, a det kit, a primary, a side-arm, frags, a personnel-scale weapon, and oh yeah, I wanna take Sampson along fer tha hunt. Right kind of ya to take charge of the prick." Prick was a pronunciation of PRC, an early prefix for field communication gear.
Janxi had a laugh. Unlike her partner, her laugh was full and from the lungs and resonated. "Well fox yeah, Scope. If we kin snag it, let's snag it!"

"... and take a few shots with it when we do get it." Takota comments with a toothy cat grin as he gets up to find a bit more sustenance at the chow line.

"'Sall right, Det. We got used to people meanin' it like that." She gave Det a forgiving and fuzzy nuzzle.
Tori followed Takota to the chowline and returned with more eggs and some smoked sausage. Cheese and hotsauce fell onto both. As Takota walked off, she batted his tail. She owed him that much.
"Hell, if we do get it, I'm all fer bombin' Atlantis. Goal one is to smoke tha thing."

"Yeah yeah, wouldn't want you to chip a nail on the mic, Janxi." Scope replied with a grin. He lifted his tray and scraped untouched bacon and eggs onto the jaglion's plate. " Here, this will help keep your strength up. Of course we could always get Det to carry your pack if you're complaining it's too heavy for you." He was still chuckling.
" Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but if Norrin got the tiger hunt, that means Tank and his goon buddies are there too. Don't think trophy hunting isn't out of the question." He shoveled down another mouthful and washed it withjuice," Personally, I hope Norrin uses his XO for bait, and takes his time when Tony shows up."
"Shep, you don't mean that." Det said, looking at Shep.
"Try me. He'd say the same thing." Shep shrugged, continuing eating
Takota and Tori got some odd looks from the cooks, but nothing was said when they refilled their plates and returned to the table.
