Ch 17. Home Sweet...where the heck are we?

[Renekin Skywalker]

Mariana pulls out the mission specs and reviews them, seated with her legs out and crossed. "Are those what'll be inserting us?" She says.

*not knowing the conversation to date with the Sgt and the rest that are in the docking bay .. comments with an utterly innocent face*

'you know Ma'am .. y'all should be gettin a room if y'all plan on doing inserting .. cause don't it go against regulations to consort with the lessers .. Ma'am? '

Shep followed Sam out into the hallway. " Wait a sec, I didn't mean it like that, LT. If you want to talk, I'm all ears. It's just that this is your mission, so you know more than I do. All I can do if offer suggestions." He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. " Now I understand why Tim asked me to keep an eye on you. you're too impulsive."


" Yup, if you're with Luietenant...," the pilot paused to look at his flight sched," Fraser's squad." He looked acrossed at Lynn. " Hey, watch where you're pointing that thing, Private."

The co-pilot couldn't help but laugh at Stein's comment. " You've got a comedian , Sarge. "


Stan looked at Stein and shrugged. " I guess misted up is kinda like teary eyed, but the only mistin' i evar do is wit ol' Faithful here." He patted his C-27 with a stained grin.

Sam whirls around to glare at Shep. "Too impulsive? Where in the hell did you get that from?" Sam walks up to Shep and glares up at him "Just what did my brother tell you about me anyway?"

*the face continues to look dense, until the eyes shift to look at Albright andthe grin cracks the expression 'ahh .. i think i should maybe get a stronger gun?

" My point exactly." Shep grinned, leaning against the wall. " When you squad with a guy, after a few months you get to be good friends and you talk about stuff. He talked about you alot, and all the sily stuff the two of you did as a kid."


" Don't worry 'bout what yer packin', kiddo." Albright replied," if you hit yer target in the right spot, it don't matter what ya use."

He looked up puzzled at the remark on how he was holding the gun.

"Would you have me hold it at you instead of the floor?" His question was genuine in nature and not a witty retort.

"I don't see why you would give cause for concern when i have the lasers directed focus away from you and the others currently inside this room, as you can see i have it even directed away from any reflective surfaces on the off chance there is an accidental discharge."

He takes a sigh and raised the hand holding what seemed like a slender screw driver.

"No doubt you or someone else here will broach the question, so allow me to save some time and answer two of the key ones before they get asked. Yes i am qualified to be making adjustments to the weapon. And No, i cannot turn it off while doing so."

He turned to finish the work he started quickly then powered down the weapon, tucking the tools away and looking to the transport.

'that's what i'm hopin to do sir. hit the target and know they don't plan on jumpin up later ta blow my ... uhh .. off sir?'

[OCC - could you let me know if the Psi-Bat there has markings that show her to be PSI .. the stalksers and i think the dogboys do, or used to .. thanks ]

[Renekin Skywalker]

The Psi-Bat, being the Sarge, being also having the name of Mariana, has no indications of bing involved with Psi-Bat. She has no insignia, tattooes, bar-codes ID chips or title that would lead to the conclusion she's a part of that division of the military.

[[ OOC - thank you for the info .. thats more than i needed to know. i'll make sure to ask my next questions via PM ]]

[Renekin Skywalker]

(OOC: I'm perfectly fine with you asking questions here. If it's information that can benefit all players, there's no sense in leaving it in PM's)

[shiivster]

*looks back to the vehicles and mutters quietly near Albright, for him to hear ' .. well i know i'm safe from becomin an Officer .. i can't read. i don't wanna know how to either. .. '

Sam smirks "Well, whatever he told you was a filthy lie!" Her smirk grows into a grin as she adds "Unless it was a story about how great I am. All those stories are 100% true." Sam starts to turn as she says "I have to get ready. We're leaving in an hour and a half." Sam heads to her room and starts packing her gear. Once she's done, she heads over to the departure site to meet up with the rest of the crew.

*upon seeing another person in armor inquires of the Private in grey .. 'hello. I'm Private Stein. You with Lt.Fraser's group? I'm the mule. Seems that some of the team members will be weak or old. I just wanted to know if you were one of them?'

*then wonders to herself when they're planning on leaving, as standing about is in fact .. really boring.

Mary looks up from her notes. "It was a joke, private. You can drop it now." She says. And returns to her work.
