(Mariana)
The trek to Westvale grew quiet and was uneventful. Reaching the outskirts, Shep motioned for her to wait a moment and moved closer to the village, motioning to another CS soldier that was poorly hidden in a tree loft. The two conversed for a moment before he beckoned to her to continue on before he led her one of the homes. He offered her one of the bedrooms, and pointed out the window towards another building where he told her she could get a shower in the morning. He said goodnight and left with a woman who seemed very happy to see him.
(Everyone Else)
The night was quiet and boring, the stillness broken only once by screech of an owl chasing mice somewheres within the vill.
(All)
The night changed into morning quietly as the sun began to crest the treeline, spurring a rooster to begin calling. The air quickly filled with the heavy scents of wood fires and frying bacon. As each member of the squad started to come around, the recognizable voices of Mikey and Shep could be heard coming from a small picnic style area as the two shared stories of the previous night's misadventures, occasionally joined in by Lyna.
(Tag - anyone)
(note: the picnic area consists of several picnic tables set around a large outdoor cookfire where Lyna is making breakfast. It is located not far from the guest house the team used.)

*Mariana emerges from the shower, still sleepy-eyed. Her once-drenched and greasy self is now clean, and her hair dripping from the shower. Instead of a uniform, she's dressed in the remaining dry clothes, including a fairly form-fitting T-shirt featuring a cactus with sunglasses and a 6-shooter. After collecting her armour and equipment together, she heads out for breakfast*
*She nods a hello to Shep and Mikey as she sits for food* "You're lucky this shirt isn't ruined." *she grumps as she gets comfortable*

Rhys does the 3 S's then don's his armor again and heads out to where he hears the voices of Shep and Mikey. Looking the Shep. "Well good to see you made it in one piece." Spotting Mariana. "And whom are you?"

Ellie wakes a little later then she would like to have, but isn't to upset by it. She was feeling a little drained from the previous days psionic power usage. As she wakes she does her morning stretches and a light workout before showering (push-up, sit-up... the basics). After he shower sh will meet them all for breakfast probably picking up whats left to eat. She joins the table in her light armor and helmet cliped to her side.
OOC: I'm guessing I'd show up 20min or so after everyone to take in consideration a shower and workout.

Dyson awakens from very uneasy sleep, generated by trying to sleep in his armor and helmet for the first time.
Dyson gets up and removes his helmet, which allows the utterly delectable smell of pan fried bacon to assault his nose. The smell makes Dyson realize that he hasn't eaten substantialy in the last day, even the night before he hadn't been able to eat much for the feeling that gunfire was continually going to interrupt his next mouthful.
Still bleary eyed, Dyson makes his way to the picnic area where the familiar voices are coming from. As soon as he sees Shep Dyson smiles a bit and raises a hand in greeting, then, still half asleep, ambles up to the table and starts eating anything that isn't being held or eaten by someone else at the moment, remembering to sit down after a few mouthfuls of food.

Mikey, after giving Shep a quick look, grinned. " Looks like he made it fit better."
Shep looked up from behind his coffee mug with a slight cough, and rolled his eyes at the borg. Mikey flinched a bit at loud thud under the table, then smirked ." You know I never felt that, boss."
Shep calmly replied as he set the mug down." You got the point." He turned his attention to Rhys's arrival. " You sound disapointed, O'Neill." Shepherd acknowledge each member of the squad as they appeared, mentally counting heads. A slight sigh ecsaped him at Mendez's order to Dyson to call Gantry, Snowball's loss still weighing heavily on his conscious.
"No need, sir." Gantry replied, drying his hair from a quick shower as he wandered up behind the others and took a seat, quickly dishing himself up some breakfast and digging in. " I take it the ghosts never got you last night, Rhys?"
As Ellie arrived last, Lyna took a quick look at the soldiers and smiled politely. " I'll leave you folks to enjoy your breakfast." As she started to walk away, she paused briefly to speak lowly over Shepherd's shoulder." Please say goodbye before you leave, Carson."
He replied with an "Of course" as he watched her walk back to her house, then turned his attention back to the others, sipping his coffee and enjoying the the moment, knowing full well it wouldn't last. He was about to speak, but decided to enjoy the silence and let someone else ruin it.

Backtrack
*Rhys:* "I am Mariana" *Mariana responds*
*Mikey: Mariana sticks out her tongue at his comment, and stifles a snicker at the subsequent clunk*
*Mendez: Mariana looks up, and smiles politely, her mouth full of food.*
Frontrack:
*Eventually, after everyone's seated, Mariana, the only one that doesn't currently look like a CS soldier, reaches into her pocket, and pulls out some pieces of paper.* "Sorry to ruin breakfast, but, I've come bearing gifts. I've got something for an Elaine Malachai, for Col. Mendez, and a soggy tranfer order."

Rhys arches a brow as he eats his helmet sitting ont he table next to his plate as Mariana introduces herself. "I see" When Gantry makes his comment. "Shove it Gantry" He continues eating afterwards. Finishing his food he looks to Shep. "Not at all Shep. Infact I was missing your smart ass quips. Though Mikey tried to fill in for you." He turns and looks to the Col since it looks like he wishes to discuss something.

At hearing the words "transfer order" Dyson's eyes come fully open and he tries to clear the food out of his mouth so he can speak. After swallowing hard Dyson says "Transfer orders, are we being taken off this mission, sent to a new base?", hope and weariness are evident on Dyson's face.

Ellie has a questioning look on her face as Mariana hands her the package. The with a slight shrug decided she would open it in a more private area. After breakfast possibly (OOC who does it look to be from?? Military or personal?). After she recieves her package from Mariana she will introduce herself. "Morning Ma'am, I am Private Elaine Malachai." She extends a greeting hand.

Dyson: *Mariana looks at Dyson, almost unsure how to best answer the question, then, in a sweetish voice:*"Sorry cowboy, just my orders to hook up with you bunch."
*Where-upon, she shakes hands with Mendez, and hands him two slips of paper, one open, and looking like it's seent he business end of a creek (her transfer orders, signed, if he notices, by the Pis-bat/Psi-Net Col. Black in Chi-Town). The second, still sealed and clean (signed by some other Col. tells Mendez that he is to seek out a private audience with the bearer (Sgt. Smith) and to follow the orders she gives.)* "I'm sorry about the transfer order sir but someone *cough shep cough* decided the river was the best place for the bag holding it."
*Finally, to Ellie, she hands a third slip, that is also sealed and not touched water. The slip has a small Psi-Net logo on it. Mariana gives a Ellie quiet 'It'll be OK' smile as she hands it over. (The order states that her 5-year mandatory exam, while recognizably delayed, will be conducted upon her return to her current outpost.)*
*After handing out the slips of paper, she turns back to Mendez* "And don't call me 'soldier' I'm nothing like those degenerates." *she thumbs Mikey and Shep with a smirk.*
*Then, she sits down, quietly eating her food, as she knows the report Shep has to make.*

"Degenerate?" Shep replied, coughing up a mouthful of coffee, and stretched out his foot, kicking the bottom of the bench beneath Mariana.

*At the thumping under her seat, Mariana makes a slightly surprised noise, then makes a face at Shep, changing back to her sweet engaing smile before he can say about said face freezing.*
