"Oh, he's some kind of farm animal." Mary says, through her ams. "But he's not a goat."
"And if you fly boys had any sense, you'ld know that kind of shot is possible, or else people wouldn't make it." She says, sitting up. "Or, maybe, it was one in a million? You'll never know will you?"

" She's right on both counts." the second pilot laughed behind his coffee mug. " You folks aren't gearing up for all the business out in sung country? Sounds like most of the base is headed that way."
Dyson shrugged. " Not that I know of. did we get new orders yet Sarge?"

McCain smiles at Shep, "Me, no I am one of those guys who just likes to have his s**t together. What about you, you like death warmed over but you look like you are heading to the front?"

"The General's orders stand until contravening ones are given." She says, looking up, noticing the pilots were right there. "We'll get summonned into that part of the world, soon enough..." Her eyes glance to the pilot's shoulder. "Leftennant."

Sam can't hide the surprise on her face as she replies "Oh." Thinking for a few minutes, she admits "It's been a rough adjustment. To be honest, half the time I'm not really sure if I belong here." Sam runs her hands through her hair, as she adds "I don't know. Maybe I'm just tired and feeling discouraged. It feels like I'm beating my head against the wall sometimes. And all that does is hurt my head and smudge the wall a little."
Sam sighs and a small smile appears. "Though, for the future, I do enjoy a good scotch from time to time."

" From the General? Didn't think the old man ever talked to us grunts?" The luietenant chuckled. He glanced at his watch, then at his companion before standing. " Duty calls."
Dyson tapped his brow in a slight salute. Once they were gone, he looked at Marianna like he wanted to say something, but paused. Finally, " Sarge, I need some advice. I'm still having thoughts about the LT. do you think I should transfer to a different squad so it isn't a problem?"
*****
" I look worse than that on a good day." Shep smirked, but his tone didn't soften. " You've been in this game long enough to know an old war horse like me won't stay out of the game long." He shifted his hold on the Wilk's sniper rifle. " don't worry about it, I'm sure the LT will fins something for you folks to do soon enough."
behind him, McCain recognized Rhys from the flight back to base. " What's this reassignment I got from Norrin's crew? Damn Shep, you look like a train wreck."
" Nevermind." Trassk replied. " Pack your trash. You and me are going hunting."
*****
Colonel Wallace chuckled. " I'll make a note of that in the future. But let me give you a little advice. When you lose that gnawing in your gut you get before every decision, get out of CSOG, it means you're losing your perspective. This isn't straight forward field duty, so it's gonna be hard on the head. You just need to learn to rely on and trust your people. Before you argue, rememeber I'm the one who assigned them to you. Yes he's a pain in the butt, but Carson knows what he's doing, and he must have faith in you or he would have asked for re-assignment. And Smith is almost as bad, but they can teach you a side of this you can't get out of the academy. " He stood up and patted Sam on the shoulder. " You'll do fine Samantha." He added with a smirk," And by the way, you might want to catch Shep before he leaves without you and the rest of the squad. I had the armory keep an eye out for him, and he was down there signing out his gear just before I came in."

Sam nods at the Colonel feeling a little better.
A sigh escapes her as she says "Why am I not surprised? Stubborn jackass doesn't even wait until he's recuperated." Standing up, half as a joke, and half serious with a small smirk on her face. "Permission to slug him if I feel the situation warrants it, sir."

" As long as you don't injure yourself." Col. Wallace chuckled. " You don't want to see the paperwork involved with that. he did do you a favor though and asked for Sergeant O'Niell to be returned to your command. Norrin doesn't need him for his mission, but he's still not happy about it. "
*****
Shep shook his head at McCain. " There's a guy, well ... a D-Bee out there that likes to shoot up Coalition officers. Taken down four in the last six months and injured a couple more."
Rhys perked up," Archer?"
" Yup." Shep nodded.
" I'll have to sign out my hunting rifle then." Rhys smirked and headed to the weapon's check.

Sam chuckles quietly and says "Duly noted, sir." Raising an eyebrow, she says "Well, I should go and thank him shouldn't I?" She nods at the Colonel and says "If you'll excuse me." Assuming the Colonel has no objections, Sam then heads to the armoury and looks for Shep. Once she finds him, she asks with a smirk, "Going on a little day trip, Shep?"

"Ugh." Mary says, tiredly as Dyson start talking about his feelings. "Let me fill you in on a little secret.... You're human! Of course you'll be attracted to people." She says. "So, either you can spazz, like you are now, or you can just relax, accept it, and do something about it or move on."

" That's up to the Luietenant here. It's her show as far as I know." Shepherd replied to McCain, thumbing towards Sam. He turned to face Sam and shook his head. " Only to the range. I need to break this in, and figured since I heard Rhys had earned his Marksmanship award, he could spot for me and get in some target time too. Not to mention I need to re-camoflague my armor." He motioned towards McCain's standard black armor," Something I suggest the rest of the squad does before we ship out." He adjusted the bundle of armor beneath his arm," Sorry for going behind your back to get O'Niell reassigned back to us, but we both know we can count on him, especially if you need a new XO." He clenched his jaw tightly, but said nothing else.
Rhys stepped around the corner with a big smile and a C-10 sniper rifle. " All set, Shep... hi LT," he saluted and his smile slipped a bit as he looked at the other's faces.
*****
" You're right, it's just she's an officer and I'm just a corporal." Dyson shrugged and then smirked. " Guess I'm not the first guy to be in this situation." He finished off his coffee. " So have you heard where we're headed next? Alot of the other squads are headed back into Sung's territory from what I've heard. Ellie even told me they're headed past Westvilleand is trying to talk her LT into swinging close enough to see if anyone is still there."

Sam nods at Rhys and says "Welcome back." Turning to Shep, she nods "That's fine, though next time I would appreciate you informing me when you do things like that." She seems oddly calm and at peace as if her chat with the Colonel had restored something she had thought she'd lost. "That's a good idea about the armour." Looking at the gun, she smiles at it and says "I've heard about those, I'd love to see that in action. I think I'll tag along." Her tone of voice plainly says she's not going to be dissuaded from going with them.
Nodding at McCain, she replies "Sure, you can tag along."
