Rhys shrugs noting nothing had changed about his orders. Then finishes his breakfast and relaxes if there is room on the bench to lean back. If not He shifts and sits with his back against the table.

When Mariana informs him, that the transfer orders are for her he doesn't react immediately, just staring with the same expression for a second. Dyson snaps out of his torper, gives a weak smile and says " Umm..ya, welcome aboard", then continues eating with his head down.

" Yes sir." Shepherd replied to Colonel, surprisingly without any of his usual sarcasm. " Snowball and I caught up with the that patrol as we had intended to, but were spotted before we could get close enough to recognize them. Using escape and evasion, we were able to get away from a pursuing group until we were sidetracked with our encountering of Mari... I mean Sargeant Smith. The pursuit group was ambushed by another force as it engaged us, pinning Snowball and myself in the crossfire. "
He took a deep breath, the pain of what happened next evident in his eyes. " Snowball pushed me out to safety while he laid down cover fire, and that was the last I saw him. I found a blood trail that led to the stream, but I couldn't find him. Sgt. Smith and I then made our way here, knowing that Mikey would lead you here. We encountered no further contact with opposing forces, except for the trail being booby-trapped and a suicidal rabbit." He smirked at Mariana before continuing." Were those sloppy trip mines set by you guys, or do we have something else to worry about?"

" I've got an idea, but no evidence to back it up. The ones that ambushed us used tactics that had Sprite's boys written all over them." Shepherd replied, with an uneasy tone, setting his empty mug on the table. " I'd lay odds the other ones were some of Sung's troops, but if it was, then things are alot worse than command thought and we're in way over our heads."
He leaned forward, resting his chin on folded hands and his elbows on the table.

*Mariana clears he throat in the silence after Shep's info* "Umm, Shep, is there a way I can store my gear here for later? Or send it back to base? Travelling light would be nice. As would be reducing the pungent smell of mouldy clothes."

" Uh , yeah you can leave it where we stayed last night, It'll be fine there." Shepherd replied, squinting hard as he realized how it sounded. With a clenched jaw, he shot a dirty look at Mariana as Mikey burst into laughter.
Shep turned his attention to the borg, his brows knitted. "One more sound and I introduce you to a vibro canopener, got it?"
Mikey's laughter died instantly with a swallow.

*Mariana flushes a bit, but, upon realsing it wasn't her that said it, responds, in a sweet, but slightly excited voice* "And is there a place for my toothbrush too?"

Pointing a finger at the nearly bursting Mikey, Shep turned his attention back to Mariana. Clearing his throat, he took a long moment to compose himself. " Cut that out, Mariana. We're supposed to be professionals, act like it."

With a growl and a squinted stare, Shep rose from the table. Without a word, he turned and walked from the table, towards the forest.
"Sarge, ma'am, you sure know how to get to him."Mikey said lowly, watching him depart," I've only seen him this mad once, and he sure didn't walk away then."

"Thank-you, Private." *Mariana snaps a bit too harshly, at which point, she watches Shep leave with a slightly guilty look, and walks over to her quaters, pulls out her excess ammo and places it in a small pack, then stows the remaining clothes in a safe sealed place.*

When Shep and Mariana are out of hear shot Dyson raises his head from his food, looks around at the others, and says "Did I miss something or does it sound like those two have known each other for awhile already?" Dyson sits staring forward, elbows rested on the picnic table.
