"you'll better come back then" Nomi replies into the comm-link "and remember you can call the Kagemon for help once you find Conner. Call Ari and ask for an emergency beam up"

she pauses and adds "darling I love you too" in a softer tone.

The Pod crashed threw the forest, the trees splintered under the Plas-steel shock shield.

The pod came to a stop, the clear plas-steel door popped open and Samuel climbed out.

"Conner, This is Samuel... where are you?" The comm. crackled back no answer for a few seconds.

"Samuel, I'm about four clicks west, by north west of you position... you caused allot of racket... their on the move... i count 20 to 35 coming toward you..." Conner sounded tired...

"Alright... I can handle them," Samuel said as he opened the weapons box on the side of the pod. He brought out an Assault rifle and the mother of all weapons, a Gauss Cannon...

Creatures came crashing threw the forest... Samuel brought up the Gauss cannon and the cannon came to life lobbing round after round into the mass of creatuers... The explosions rocking Samuel.

The creatures came and came but the exploding rounds cut them down like waves crashing on rocks.

Samuel let go of the trigger, no more creatures came...

"Samuel you alright? Samuel...Samuel!?" Conner's frightened voice came back.

"Samuel: 1, Grotesque ass-faced creatuers... 1" Samuel said calmly into the comm.

Samuel made his way toward Conner.

Suddenly a large object struck Samuel on his Clear plas-steel dome.

Samuel brought up the cannon and was about to send about 30 rounds into the trees when he saw conner on a branch smiling weakly at him.

"Conner! You scared the f***ing s**t out of me..."

Conner smiled at him "How are you going to get me out of this f***ing tree?"

Samuel pulled a small device from his waist and tossed it up to him.

Conner snatched it out of the air effortlessly.

"One to transport..." Samuel said into the comm.

"you'll better come back then" Nomi replies into the comm-link "and remember you can call the Kagemon for help once you find Conner. Call Ari and ask for an emergency beam up"

she pauses and adds "darling I love you too" in a softer tone.


"Sounds like you have things under control for the moment," said Lt. Geoffrey," I will send my men out further from the area to scan the area and keep on the look out for these creatures."


*******

One of the dark clad figures, named Chad, motioned towards his partner, Jess. And they both moved in a zig zag pattern further south from the site. About 20 yards into their pathway, Chad heard a rustle in the foliage. He paused immediately and crouched. As soon as he crouched a large creature jumped out of the trees and bushes and went for the man throat. Chad swear and raised his weapon to fire, when his partner Jess shot and killed the beast with his gatling gun rifle. As soon as the first one jumped out, a dozen more started jumping up and run towards the two men.

"Delta 2 to delta 5, we are under attack by at least half a dozen creatures about 40 yards south of the craft. We are heading to your direction by a slow backward retreat, they seem to be unending."

Lt. Geoffrey quickly lifted is comm and said:" Keep doing what you are doing we are heading in that direction with reinforcements."
He turns to his other two men and orders them to head in that direction and then turns tot he allied leaders near him.

"We should have this under control," says the Lt.

Conner reappeared in one off the Kagemons transporter rooms and when the ensign operating the pad seen him she called for Dr Abe.

The young looking lady doctor arrived as soon as she could with one of her nurses and asks "what were you up to down there? you look in a bad way" as she uses her medical scanner and calls for a trolley.

While she waits she gets to work on applying field dressings until she can get Conner to sickbay.

###

"Lt Geoffrey you need motion detectors to spot them. they don't show up on scanners" Nomi advises "and tell your men to stick together. they'll have a chance this way"

"Understood, Nomi. I think that would be a wise move. Plus our men are trained to work in teams of two to five. SO basically a man of each team(team of two) carries a motion detector. Plus these men are trained in Hapkido and Ninjutsu for years under very strict conditions. They are trained to hunt and track. So we hope this helps in the fight against these creatures." He turns and relates a short but brief message to those going out to the men in trouble and also to the men in trouble.


******

Chad just got done turning and shooting two of these creatures with his small armes right into the beasts head, blowing it to pieces. He then turned to see his partner was just finishing off two of his own when he heard more movement to the left of him...
He nods to his partner to crouch low to get a shot off at the creatures as they would leap into view, but what he didnt expect the creatures to come from was the trees! So he had to do a 180 to kill that creature, he then noticed that his partner was in trouble, the creatures were trying to get between him and his long time friend. He then yells to his friend to jump back and take cover.

"Jess duck!!"

Jess ducks and Chad lobs two shots of a frag grenade at the bunch of creatures that got between the two, blowing them to pieces except for two of the creatures. The explosion was so loud from the two frags it could be heard from the distance of the ship.

Nomi turns to Lt Geoffrey and says "the only thing that will help you at the moment is enough firepower and maybe an emergency evacuation. We can use our transporters to evacuate your troops if needed and we also have experienced medical staff"

Samuel walked out of the jungle, the three drop ships sat their the men guarding them almost shot him until the recognized him.

"Where is Nomi?" Samuel said slowly to the terminator as he pulled a bottle of water from the drop ships hold.

"In the ship, no word as of yet on their progress but i suspect they are alright."

"Good, keep on alert... I had to fight my way threw there."

"Sir,"

Samuel walked toward the ship.

-------
Conner let the doctor work, "They may be small.... but there mean..."
-------

Samuel walked into the room that the group was in.

He looked at Nomi and winked at her.

"Wow... Your ship got the crap beat out of it... Any bodies of the crew?"

Nomi turns to Lt Geoffrey and says "the only thing that will help you at the moment is enough firepower and maybe an emergency evacuation. We can use our transporters to evacuate your troops if needed and we also have experienced medical staff"


"No worries...yet anyways, we still have two other members meeting them half way and returning with them. But thanks for the offer, they might still need it, depends if they meet up with the other two ok." replies Lt. Geoffrey.

Samuel walked into the room that the group was in.

He looked at Nomi and winked at her.

"Wow... Your ship got the crap beat out of it... Any bodies of the crew?"


"Ya....but i also noticed that the doors are beaten down more as you go down the hall(you will notice that the hall does take a 90 degree turn at the front of the ship) and to the right, down the next hall. I wonder if we will find the bodies down that hall as they barracked themselves in. But ahead on the end of this hall is a door that will lead us to a room for the power of the back up power grid."

He points down to a door that was partially open a crack.

Nomi hugs Samuel when she sees him unable to kiss him because she's got a helmet on.

"we need power restored before we can do much else" she says "and then we'll know more"

###

"i'm sure you're right" Dr Abe says as the trolley arrives for Conner.

"Jump on and we'll get you fixed up in sickbay. My name is Dr Fujiko Abe and my assistant is Nurse Koiko Miromuta"

Nomi hugs Samuel when she sees him unable to kiss him because she's got a helmet on.

"we need power restored before we can do much else" she says "and then we'll know more"

###

"i'm sure you're right" Dr Abe says as the trolley arrives for Conner.

"Jump on and we'll get you fixed up in sickbay. My name is Dr Fujiko Abe and my assistant is Nurse Koiko Miromuta"

Samuel nodded "So basically untill we do that we have our pants down around our knees..."

---------

Conner climbed onto the trolley, his are was baddly cut, the field dressing were already soaked with blood.... "Could I lose my arm doc?" He asked Dr. Abe in a flat uncareing tone.

Samuel nodded "So basically untill we do that we have our pants down around our knees..."

---------

Conner climbed onto the trolley, his are was baddly cut, the field dressing were already soaked with blood.... "Could I lose my arm doc?" He asked Dr. Abe in a flat uncareing tone.

Dr Abe replies to Conner speaking softly as he runs her medical scanner over the wounds "I don't think so but you'll have it in a sling for a while. I'm also detecting a break as well so I'll have to reset it and give you a partial plaster cast.

After I'm done you'll have a scar to impress the ladies with and the use of your arm back so you'll have nothing to worry about.

How remiss of me, I don't even know your name"

Koiko gets one end of the trolley and Fujiko get the other as the women push Conner out of the transporter room, down a corridor and into the sickbay after a short turbo lift trip.

Koiko prepares the plaster bandages as Fujiko removes the field dressing on the arm so she can stitch the wounds properly before applying the cast. she also runs her scanner again and adds "at least theres no internal bleeding".

###

"Darling thats the current situation" Nomi replies "we've found no bodies so far but theres evidence of barricades further down the corridor. Maybe we'll find them there.

Once power is restored we can access the bridge and check the logs to see what happened"

The teams approached the door to the room that controls most of the back up systems for the power of the ship. As they approached they found that the door was ajar and had a body that was behind it. It looked like a female, but it was very unreconizable. It looked like she was ripped to pieces and flung to the far wall.

"Shit......" cursed one of the techs.

"ok, boys lets get to work." ordered the Commander.

One of the tech went to the main computers and opened up the panels under it. And he moved around a bunch of wiring and cussed again.

"Crap....uh sir, we may be here a while, and if we can repair these circuts and wiring."

"Alright, try to fix it." replied Commander Dorne. He started to walk around the room and examine it.

Mariko thought to herself 'our first corpse of the day' and got back on her job.

"I'll hold the torch" she says and goes over the technican.

Conner scoffed... "Impress the ladies? Hell my face scares them off before they can even know me or what happened. And my name is Conner."

---

The terminator assigned to Mariko moved to the body... It was badly decomposed.

He placed his armored hand on her forehead.

"You can rest know...." He said solemnly

---

Samuel shuddered "They didn't even have a chance... Slaughtered..."

He took Nomi's hand in his

Dr Abe smiles and says "good to meet you Conner".

she sanitises the wound before wrapping a bandage round it and setting the bone. she then wraps the plaster bandage round his arm.

"once that dries out you'll be a good as new in a couple of weeks" she says "in the meantime don't do anything too strenuous with the arm. i'll get you a sling"

she calls over to the nurse who opens a panel on the wall and finds a sling for Conner.

The terminator assigned to Mariko moved to the body... It was badly decomposed.

He placed his armored hand on her forehead.

"You can rest know...." He said solemnly

---

Samuel shuddered "They didn't even have a chance... Slaughtered..."

He took Nomi's hand in his

looking at the body Mariko could see all this happened a long time ago. it was unlikely that there would be any survivors and this mission and the hunt would be avenging the Earabian dead.

She held the torch steady trying to figure the wiring out.

###

Nomi squeezed Samuels hand and her comm badge went off.

She listens and answers in Kirisuban cutting the signal. she turns to Samuel and says "that was the sickbay. Dr Abe says that that Conner will be fine. he had a nasty cut and a broken arm but he'll be able to use his arm again soon enough"

"Well i will be damned....i think i found the wiring i am looking for, thank you ma'am." said the tech.
As soon as he said thank you, the emergency lights came on. Now these lights are not bright and dont light every dark spot on the wall, but it gave enough light to give the terrifying look at the damage that the wman had to enduring. There was blood everywhere and items in the room were destroyed. Also the otehrs noticed that the emergency lights came on in the halls, giving light every ten feet. Also giving the grimace look of destruction and death of a struggle, still no other bodies can be seen in the hallway.

Dorne turns to Nomi and Samuel and Mariko.

"I would wish to ask you a favor. I would like your assistance. I wish to leave my security force here to protect the techs here and would like to use your team to go further down the hall and investigate further more." asked Dorne,"you can leave whoever you wish here to guard too, we can also split the teams equally to show that we wish to work with you equally to finish this.....mission." said Dorne and he said the word mission with disgust and pain but with also determination.

Nomi says to Commander Dorne now she notices that theres some emergency power up "if we're going to spilt up to cover more ground we'll need at least one of your people in each group.

We still don't know if theres dormant ship defence systems and they would know the layout of this ship a lot better than we would.

I can take a team to the bridge once power is restored to the lifts and then access the logs to discover exactly what happened after they landed"

Samuel raised his clear Plas-steel dome and lit a cigarette.

"Lt. Swayne this is your op. what do you want to do."

Lt. Swayne thought for a moment "Well, i would like Nomi and her team to go to the bridge with four Terminators... And my team with a Earabian go to crew quarters, This is still a rescue mission and that would probably be the best place to find survivors... or the enemy."

Samuel nodded is approval.

Nomi replies "Lt Swayne you'll need Alyssa and Koiko with you. Koiko knows how to handle explosive charges and you'll need medical back up if it comes to a fight.

I can handle any technical problems on the bridge but I would need an Erarabian around to disarm any anti-intruder systems and to translate the logs"

"Well, lets see if my boys can get the turbo lift up and running. Then we can split our team in half and then one can go to the bridge and find the truth, while the other can search the rest of the ship and secure it." replied the Commander.

********


Captain Rotas paced back and forth on the bridge. He was worried that the team down there was in great danger, but he knows that it was of great importance to solve the mystery of what happened on that ship that would of created the crash in the first place.

"Any news yet?"

"No sir"

Nomi nods while listening to Commander Dorne. Until the enginering crews had done their work she had to wait although.

Lt. Swayne knelt down against a wall and looked at Samuel "I hate waiting around to get this bug hunt started..."

Samuel nodded and blew smoke out his nose... "Me too, I wish that we could ju---"

Suddenly all the Neoman comms. came to life, Explosions could soon be heard from out side the ship.

"INCOMEING!!!!" Shouted a terminator at the beach head.

"F***!," Lt. Swayne yelled as he shot up "Two stay here!"

The Neomans sprinted toward the exit,

Samuel looked at Nomi, then at the men.

"Stay here Nomi..." Samuel said as turned to follow the men.

Two terminators stayed behind.

---
2 minutes earlier at the beach head.
---

The group of Terminators who stayed to guard the drop ships were sitting around, talking about home, the future operation, and other things.

Suddenly Creatures started to pour out of the forest, the Terminators scrambled as Gauss cannons came to life.

"INCOMING!!!" Screamed one terminator into his comm. as he started to wave his assault rifle.

"Son of a......" cursed Dorne. He turned as he heard the comms of his own men come to life, plus he heard the 4 men that were out in the jungle talking as they jogged out of the jungle from their own pursuers.

"Get a perimeter set up outside now!" he yelled at one of the shock troopers.

Nomi knew that they would be safe with the terminators around and she looked at Koiko and Alyssa.

"Alyssa deal with any wounded and Koiko you cover her" she says "i'll be here if i'm needed.

Alyssa make your treatment station at the hatch we entered at but stay safe"

The women obey the orders heading to just outside the ship.

they see the wave of creatures approach and the wall of firepower they're running onto..

The women obey the orders heading to just outside the ship.

The creatures charged the men, Gauss Cannon rounds, and 10mm assault rifle rounds cut them down as soon as they appeared but wave after wave of creatures kept coming.

"Sir, What are we going to do?" A terminator shouted as he reloaded his assault rifle...

"Keep firring!" Lt. Swayne shouted as the broken up group became one.

Lt. Swayne picked put his comm. and put it to a broadcast frequency.

"Nomi, if they breach the line, transport yourselves out of here."

He turned and continue to fire in the mass of enemy's.

Nomi acknowledges the comms signal and replies "I'll tell the Kagemon that they may have guests later on"

She contacts Captain Fujimoto and arranges for the transporter rooms to start beaming people up on her command and to launch the ships weapons against the horde of creatures.

###

Lt Mariko Kasigi had left engineering and returned to her shuttle. she was now flying with the Kagemons other armed shuttle as they both spat plasma weapon death into the enemy horde from above.

four bright red flashes also impacted in the horde as the Kagemons forward plasma torpedo tubes spoke..

As the allied teams fired their weapons into the wave after wave of the creatures, the 5 Stalkers turned and fired each a round of frag grenades right into the wave that was closest to them, blowing the wave that was hit by the frags back. At this point 5 of the 15 shock troops opened fire on the creatures with their gatling like guns, basically ripping threw any of the creatures that was in front of the wave.

Lt. Geoffrey looks around and nods to one of his men and said a single command. As if knowing what the commander was thinking, the soldier took his frag launcher and fired a volley of like 5 frags randomly into the wave behind the first row. Minutes later, those frags he fired blew. And it wasnt like one explosion, but multiply ones, shattering the lines that the beasts were running in.

Yelling Lt. Geoffrey commands the shock troops to dig in. He wanted killing field set up right where they were. He wanted the gatling type guns set up for this duty. While the shock troops set this up, the Stalkers kept firing into the wave of creatures.

OOC: The gatling gun is very similar to a M249 Saw rifle.

OOC:

The weapons are very similar to these here in design.
http://www.military.com/soldiertech/0,14632,Soldiertech_XM8,,00.html
At least in design it is close to these.

Samuek raised his rifle and dropped the five closest creatuers. He jogged over to Lt. Swayne who was huredly trying to fix a jammed gauss cannon.
"Ammo is going to become very limited ina few min-"

Suddenly a giant creatuer busted forth from the forest. It stood just under 2 and a half stories tall, and had a tremendous wing span.

http://www.fantasy-workshop.de/random/tyranid.jpg

"Oh great beautiful Coord..."

The closest terminator sprayed the giant creatuer with about 10 rounds from his gauss cannon to no avail.

The Creatuer let out a remendous roar that seemed to shake the very ground and charged the men...

Samuel spun around and looked at the ship with Nomi.

"Get out of here! GET OUT OF HERE!!!" He shouted into his comm.

The creatuer ran into the group of men and with a giant swipe of its claw and sent 2 men flying.

The men hit the ground and scmbeled to there feet.

"Were going to need bigger guns!" Shouted on Terminator as he ran up to the beast his gauss cannon blasting round after round

The rounds struke the creatuer with no effect. It spun and slamed a claw into the terminators armo. Blood, small shards of bone bursted from the back of the terminator.

The terminator fell to the ground limply... his eyes open, but no life in them.

"Back to the boat!!!" Lt. Swane yelled as he turned toward the dropships.

The men sprinted behind him.

The giant creatuer charged after them, spearing one man while slamming another into the air... The man was Samuel, Samuel fell in a mass of creatuers and scrambled to his feet and punched the first attacking creatuer in the jaw completely crushing the side of its face.

He ducked as a creatuer lept toward him and pulled a chainsword attached to his back http://us.games-workshop.com/e-zine/issues/blackgobbo-16/necromunda/images/chainsword.jpg

He pulled the rip cord on the sword and it came roaring to life.

He swung it at the nearest creatuer, chunks of flesh ripping from its body, he spun and smashed another in the head, sending bits of skull and blood into the air.

A creatuer tackled him and clawed crazilt at his armor its claws braking off. Samuel fumbled for his pistol and shot the creatuer in the chest twice.

He got to his feet and ran but it was too late... The dropships were already flying threw the air.

He changed his direction and ran toward the ship... "Nomi, get us out of here!!!" He yelled as he pointed his pistol behind him and fired blindly.

The Giant creatuer ran after him and started to gain on him easily.


(ooc: I thought of this last night while playing Dawn of War... I am such a geek.... *sigh*

and sorry for the spelling)

Nomi had already given the evac command and random Earabians and Neomans were finding themselves on the Kagemon.

Nomi runs up to Samuel and hits her comm badge being told it'll be two minutes until she can beam up.

Mariko's voice can also be heard.

"i'll be landing now to get you both" she says "meet me at the door we made"

Nomi leads Samuel to a beautiful sight as Mariko swivels round to blast more creatures at point blank range with her shuttles plasma rifles.

"come on darling" she says and they both jump on board the shuttle as the giant creature reaches the ship.

The shuttle tiny in comparison flys up quickly into the sky and they are safe. the other Kirisuban shuttle flies beside them, a few terminators in that one as well.

Nomi removes her helmet and kisses Samuel relieved to still be alive.

###

Alyssa and Koiko had ended up on board a neoman landing craft and hung on as it made the return journey. Lt Swayne was there as well and Alyssa could see how lucky they were. apart from the one deceased terminator left behind on the planet everyone was accounted for.

She goes over to the young Lt and says "you made the right choice by getting out. some of your people were also beamed to the Kagemon as well and Samuel and Nomi are in a Kirisuban shuttlecraft. We'll meet up with them later"

####

On the Kagemon Ari had her tactical officer launch a satelite to keep an eye on the horde and was watching the pictures on her ready room computer. They went on as far she could see and not even ships weapons was killing them quickly enough.

She zoomed it and took still screen captures for future briefings later on. However it was the huge winged creature that interested her the most.

In sick bay Conners cast had hardened and Dr Abe gently put his arm in a sling.

"you'll be fine now" she tells Conner as her comm badge goes off. she listens and "i'm on my way" as she grabs a medical kit and runs out the transporter rooms with her nurse as some Neomans had minor wounds.

Nomi had already given the evac command and random Earabians and Neomans were finding themselves on the Kagemon.

Samuel smiled at Nomi "It takes more then that to kill me." He released the clutch on the chain sword and it puttered for a second and shut off.

Samuel lit a cigarette and sat back in the chair putting his arm around Nomi,

-------

Lt. Swayne put his head in his hands trying to hide his tears.

"It was close... to close..." He said slowly.

His men looked at him for a second and then looked away as if they didn't see anything.

-------

The Neomans in the transporter room got out of their power armor, they had small cuts and scrapes but one was lying on the ground, his thigh bending in a impossible angle.

The terminator grunted in pain as his comrades began the slow process of taking of the Armor in pieces.

Just as Dr. Abe came into the transporter room the Neomans were already lifting the wounded one.

"leave him to me, I'm the Chief Medical officer here" Dr Abe says as she sees her first patient.

She gets her medical scanner out and scans the terminator.

"The thigh bones broken" she remarks "I'll need to get you to sickbay and set it there"

Looking over at his colleagues she says "I'll need your help to get your comrade there. we'll take it slow and steady. Emiko, go with them and guide the way"

She nurse nods her head and leads the terminators out of the transporter room as the next batch arrives.

###

"Samuel" Nomi says "that was too close a call. I thought I was going to lose you"

She pauses and says "I know we're going into another battle soon but this can't wait. I love you more than life itself and want to marry you before the hunt begins. We should have some time together as man and wife in case one of us falls on the planet. we can always get a honeymoon later on"

###

Alyssa didn't need to be mind reader to figure out what Lt Swayne was thinking. She goes over to him and says softly "we're warriors and by doing our jobs we risk death everyday. We had to evacuate this time and we'll be back to return those creatures to the hell they came from"

She carefully squeezes his hand remembering that her suits still powered up.

Samuels jaw dropped, "Marry... Me? Of course I'll marry you, i was going to ask you to marry me when we were back at the ship..."

He took her in his arms and awkwardly kissed because of his power armor.

----

Lt. Swayne nodded lightly "Its just I've never lost anyone in combat before, if i had done some thing differently maybe i could have saved his life."

Nomi smiled broadly and asks "how about a Neoman ceremony then. I'm sure theres a priest or priestess in your fleet.

darling how does Nomi Onazuka-Wolf sound to you?"

As they near the Kagemon Mariko calls back to them "in that case Nomi let me be the first to congratulate you and I'll better dig out my dress uniform"

###

Alyssa says in response "an enemy like that dosen't fight the way we do and there was nothing we could do about that huge winged thing.

when we return we'll be ready to deal with them however long it takes"

###

With the injured terminator back at the sickbay Emiko sets the broken thigh bone and runs the bone regenerator over it.

While she works she wonders how many more people they'll have to treat on this watch..

Nomi smiled broadly and asks "how about a Neoman ceremony then. I'm sure theres a priest or priestess in your fleet.

With the injured terminator back at the sickbay Emiko sets the broken thigh bone and runs the bone regenerator over it.

While she works she wonders how many more people they'll have to treat on this watch..

Samuel smirked "Sound good, and a if you want a Neoman ceremony, you'll get a Neoman ceremony

-----

Lt. Swayne smiled "Yea, and this time will bring out the big guns,"

The terminators smiled and began to chatter among themselves.

-----

Conner was still in sickbay and looked at the terminator who broke his thigh

"Damn dude, you got jacked..."

The Terminator looked and Conner and weakly gave him the finger

"At least i didn't need anyone to come get me."

Conner smiled in response

The Kirisuban shuttles dock on the Kagemon and Nomi leaves the shuttle bay hand in hand with Samuel.

on the way to the bridge she says to him "after we give our report we can tell Ari and Jacob and darling you can make the arrangements.

Now whats involved in a Neoman wedding?"

###

Emiko laughs as she works as the Neomans continue to banter each other.

"Boys I don't want to have to see you back here" she says as she shuts of the bone regenerator.

"take things easy for a few days and you'll be fine" she says gently to the terminator "and get a good meal. something rich in protein should do the trick"

Samuel smiled, "A Neoman marrage cerimony is basically just a christian one... A nice dress will do fine. I'll get everything set up."

He kissed her on her forehead.

----
Jacob was in a dropship just out side the Kagemon

The piolet requested permission to land

The terminator shrugged with a boyish smile "He started it..."

Nomi smiles at her fiance and says "I've got a good kimono I can wear. I can dress like a woman occasionally"

the turbolift opens at the bridge and Ari looks round at her XO.

"I suspect you've got something to tell me" she says to Samuel and Nomi when she sees how happy they are.

the comms officer clears the Admirals drop ship for landing while all this is going on.

###

Emiko laughed and says "you can both leave and continue this in the mess hall if you like. I'm done with you for now"

Nomi smiles at her fiance and says "I've got a good kimono I can wear. I can dress like a woman occasionally"

Samuel looked shocked that Ari saw right threw their ruse.

"Well...I, Nomi and I are going to get married.. and i-"

"Wow, Hardcore Samuel is finally going to settle down, have some kids, and have a nice little house in the suburbs?" Conner's voice almost scared Samuel out of his power armor.

Jacob and Conner walked threw the door way.

-----
Lt. Swayne sat back and closed his eyes "I hate this job..."

Alyssa knew that Lt Swayne needed help with his first command crisis. As the drop ship continued to return to the Neoman fleet she sits beside him and says "not everybody can command troops but you did a hell of a job down there getting your men back. They'll need you again soon enough as well so trust me when I say that you're a good officer"

###

"Admiral i didn't know you could tell the future" Nomi says smiling as she holds Samuels hand

Jacob smiled "I'm not, Ive just known Samuel since before he had the nickname Hardcore Samuel."

Conner shook his head with a smile. "Luck you bastard, thats all it is"

"Jealousy is a stinky cologne Conner..." Samuel said with a smile.

---

The closest terminator looked at Lt. Swayne "You've been trained to fight a stand up fight, not bug hunts like us. You did nothing wrong sir, absolutely nothing."

Lt. Swayne shrugged lightly

Ari suggests "lets celebrate this in the mess hall. the private dining room should be appropriate once our soon to be newly weds get out of their armour"

Nomi looks at Samuel and says "I'll catch you up after I get changed" and kisses him gently before leaving the bridge

Nomi looks at Samuel and says "I'll catch you up after I get changed" and kisses him gently before leaving the bridge

"I think ill do the same..." Samuel begins to tun around to walk out

"Hey Samuel no getting lost near Nomi's room on you way!," Conner said

Samuel kept walking but gave Conner the finger

----
10 minutes later
----

Samuel came back to the bridge in civilian clothing.

"Sorry sir, I didn't bring any extra uniforms."

Jacob shrugged as he looked at his watch. it was almost 5... Drinks with Ari was at 9... maybe they would have time.

"Oh, and please don't call me Hardcore Samuel in front of my fiancé, i don't want her to know about that..."

a few minutes later Nomi returns after a shower wearing a clean uniform and ready to get back to work.

she sits at her science station looking over the footage Ari managed to capture using the satelite.

she smiles at Samuel while she ponders an overall battle plan to combat the creatures.

While she thinks she says to him and Jacob "I've been looking over Ari's satelite footage and the other encounters we've had with these creatures. They don't seem to show themselves unless we land forces on the planet. I think airpower will be the key once we get them to show themselves"

###

once the Neomans return Alyssa and Koiko call the Kagemon and are delighted to hear the good news from the captain herself.

Alyssa smiles and tells Lt Swayne "it looks like we're going to have a wedding. Samuel and Nomi"

a few minutes later Nomi returns after a shower wearing a clean uniform and ready to get back to work.

she sits at her science station looking over the footage Ari managed to capture using the satelite.

she smiles at Samuel while she ponders an overall battle plan to combat the creatures.

While she thinks she says to him and Jacob "I've been looking over Ari's satelite footage and the other encounters we've had with these creatures. They don't seem to show themselves unless we land forces on the planet. I think airpower will be the key once we get them to show themselves"

"I agree, but air power wont be the best thing for a planet wide operation... probebly just use our air power when it is necessary, probebly in the first few moments we land our invasion force... but this thing..." Jacob points to the winged creatuer "I dont know how we will be able to fight such a thing if it can stand up to a gauss connon."

Samuel thought for a moment... "What about the Aries cannon?"

Jacob looked at Samuel and smiled "I doubt it could stand up to the heat of the sun... but if there's one there is going to be more and the way things keep escolateing i think they have something meaner then that but that is just a assumsion..."

Samuel stood behind Nomi and bent over her kissing the top of her head.

"Yes, thats why im going to go down with Nomi,"

Nomi thinks and says "I think theres a way to deploy something that devastating once its lured out but we need to keep the planet as intact as possible if we're going to bring colonists here.

another landing force thats small enough to be extracted quickly but large enough to attract their attention could fight a little, beam or shuttle back and then you could fire the aeries cannon

we were able to fire our plasma torpedos onto the planet surface so why not"

OOC:

Sorry guys about that. Busy last day or so. Thanks for Beaming me up.

(on Kagemon)

Both the Lt. Geoffrey and Commander Dorne looked around and signed.

"Well that went well..." signed the Commander.

"Sir, we didnt lose any men....but i think our allies did though.." he said as he glanced around.

Thats when Dorne asked one of the Neomans where the leader of their team or the other team is. So he could get a report of what happened.
All he knew was that a lot of hard action took place outside of the crashed ship. And plus he wanted to find the commander in charge and thank and say condolances(sp?) to the lost men they lost in the mission they came with down to the surface with the Earabians.

"Sounds good, but the amount of creatuers weve seen already is probebly only a fraction of the total creatuers... but we could use that tactic to slaughter alot of them." Jacob said

"Why are you haveing a tactical disscussion without me?" Amys voice broke the thoughtful silence.

Samuel sighed and turned to see her standing there in a revieling tanktop.

She didn't even look at Samuel but her eyes were staring at Jacob.

Jacob rolled his eyes

Dorne turns to the Neoman and states:

"Well you have our assistance if you want for combating these creatures. We can always assist with our fighters by doing bombing runs on the enemies lines. Plus we got some battlemechs that could give some help. Just give the word and i will contact my Captain and he would send what he can for ground forces."

Ari comments "now that it looks like we're all here adjourning the ready room to continue this would be a good idea and Commander Dorne and Major Parsons can see our home movie"

When everyone has crowded round Ari's monitor she speaks some kirisuban and the satelite footage is replayed. She speaks again and the image freezes on the huge winged thing.

"this is going to be the thorn in our side. It stood up to gauss cannon fire but Marshal Wolf has a plan to deal with it.

on our original survey Dr Abe concluded that the first creatures they seen had a group telepathy so they could work together. I believe thats how they are able to gather in the numbers they do against us and the fact that they don't break like a normal enemy would. something keeps driving them on no matter the circumstances"

she looks round her room and says "continue playback" and the rest of the feed plays out ending with the Kagemons shuttles strafing the horde of creatures and the evacuation.

"its in our best interests to pool what we know, any ideas we may have and the resources at our command so lets start" Ari concludes leaving the floor open for others to speak.

Nomi speaks up saying "with our combined airpower we could take out a lot of those creatures on the ground. any troop landing will need airpower at least in the first stages and then our shuttles can scout round looking for further enemy deployments and call down fire from ships weapons.

We did it earlier and it seemed to work. resources wise we've access to two armed shuttle craft , several trained pilots and 20 security people on the Kagemon"

Dorne leans back in his chair and signs.

"Well, we can supply at least two light carriers we brought along, they can be in orbit in like 20 minutes. They carry 100 bombers(each) that can be used in bomber sorties behind the enemy lines and where needed. And we can also supple at least 1,000 troops. But I would rather ask you what would be logical choice for troop amount. Our Mass Destroyer carrys the troops, so it will be accompanying the two carriers. Otherwise i will follow in your direction." Dorne waits to hear what the other allies have in mind.

Ari comments "now that it looks like we're all here adjourning the ready room to continue this would be a good idea and Commander Dorne and Major Parsons can see our home movie"

"With the telepathic abilities of these creatures it seems that we will have more of a fight, but the appearance of a larger beast that the creatures do not attack also suggests that the species is more diverse. And seeing that the scanners suggested that the small creatures have no real intelligence it is easy to see that there is a hierarchic," Samuel said

"Either way, the holy flames of the Neoman army will smite them in masses,"
Amy said with arrogance.

Samuel rolled his eyes.

"So basically what you are saying is if we attack the larger beast, they might lose the ability to keep the attack going?" asked Dorne to Samuel.

"If that is the case, then it would be best to at least try to knock out the larger one to diable the rest even for a short time to slam a knocking blow the creature army."

"I think thats what we'll have to do and we'll need bigger guns on the shuttles to do that" Ari replies.

"in the meantime I'll send out more satelite probes and pilots so we can recon the planet from the air before we land. they'll also land and plant motion detectors at strategic locations so we'll know if a horde of creatures is coming. we'll need to look over the map and decide where these are.

Major Parsons, I assume you still want to procede with your original plan of a shake and bake base?"

"I think thats what we'll have to do and we'll need bigger guns on the shuttles to do that" Ari replies.

Major Parsons, I assume you still want to procede with your original plan of a shake and bake base?"

Amy nodded slowly "Yes i do, we are still going to need a place where we can use as a base of operations."

"For once thats something me and Amy agree on, but back to the larger beast i dont believe if we take down the larger beast the smaller ones wont attack us. Renenber our first encounter? Im saying that the larger beast may just be a transfer station for the psycic orders... Thier something bigger... I can feel it."

Ari ponders and says "we'll need more air support in that case to take out the creatures before they get to attack us. ships weapons fire can also be called down by pilots as well.

We need to take the fight to them instead of just reacting when they attack us otherwise this hunt will take a long long time"

She looks at Commander Dorne and says "when the motion detectors pick up their movements your ships and mine can attack that area. this way we take a lot of pressure off our ground troops and make their life a lot easier"

Commander Dorne nods and leans back.

"Yes, we can and will provide that support. Our Mass Destroyer can do most of the planetside attacks and the carrier will be busy with the air support task. How big of a surface force are we planning and coordinating?"

Ari says to Commander Dorne "Admiral Calvert, Marshall Wolf and Major Parsons can answer that question.

I've got my engineering crews building large motion detectors so we'll be be able to keep track of the creatures and they'll be ready for deployment by first light tomorrow"

OOC:

Sorry guys, i will be gone on a trip for like 4 days, i do apologize. I will be back on thursday. :)

Its a family trip, last minute type thing and i wont be near a working computer.

ooc: not to worry. we'll keep your seat warm while you're gone :)

Commander Dorne nods and leans back.

"Yes, we can and will provide that support. Our Mass Destroyer can do most of the planet side attacks and the carrier will be busy with the air support task. How big of a surface force are we planning and coordinating?"

"30,000 men," Samuel said "Ground operations is our part, our ships would probably tear the planet apart, and most of our fighters were destroyed in a battle with a massive planet ship,"

ooc: Thats cool

Ari thinks that should cover things for now and says "I think that covers everything for now. I'd like to discuss Major Parsons base with her but i'm sure we all have preparations that need continued"

Nomi whispered into Samuels ear "I think she means us. we don't have long to organise our wedding"

Nomi whispered into Samuels ear "I think she means us. we don't have long to organise our wedding"

Samuel smiled "Yes, i know. We could get a quick cerimoney done, and after the operation we could renew our vows then go on our honeymoon,"

--
Lt. Swayne smiled "Wow, i didnt see Samuel as the married man type..."

Nomi smiled and whispered back to Samuel "lets go see the priest and set an appointment for the ceremony.

I think it'll have to be a kimono. you'll want to see me out of trousers at least once"

###

"its true" Alyssa says "Mariko told me and she heard Nomi asking Samuel to marry her"

Nomi smiled and whispered back to Samuel "lets go see the priest and set an appointment for the ceremony.

I think it'll have to be a kimono. you'll want to see me out of trousers at least once"

###

"its true" Alyssa says "Mariko told me and she heard Nomi asking Samuel to marry her"

Samuel smiled "That will be fine meet me on Jacobs ship. I have a friend who is a priest."

----

Lt. Swayne. "We all should be so lucky,"

"we can beam over together" Nomi says and speaks briefly to Ari.

"go ahead Nomi" she says "and tell me what time I need to be ready for".

Nomi leads Samuel to the transporter room and they transport to the Juggernaught.

"lead the way darling" Nomi says as she holds Samuels hand.

###

Alyssa replies to Lt Swayne "maybe you'll get lucky as well".

By now they out of their armour and back in their respective uniforms.

"i'm still hungry" she says "I think i'll give Neoman food a try this time".

Koiko follows the nurse to the mess hall prepared to give the Lt's food a try.

"we can beam over together" Nomi says and speaks briefly to Ari.

"go ahead Nomi" she says "and tell me what time I need to be ready for".

Nomi leads Samuel to the transporter room and they transport to the Juggernaught.

Koiko follows the nurse to the mess hall prepared to give the Lt's food a try.

Samuel walked down a hall here or there until they were at a large door set of wooden doors with a mat to the right with a couple set of shoes.

Samuel knocks on the door and after a few moments an elderly man wearing a long violet robe with red trimmings, The coordist symbol was on the chest.

"Ah, Samuel I was wondering when you would see the light and come talk to me."

The elderly man looked at Nomi with puzzling eyes. "Who is your lady friend?" The elderly priest held out his hand.

"Shes my fiancé." Samuel said slowly.

"Ah! I haven't done a marriage ceremony in ages!" The elderly man rubbed his hands in anticipation.

"Please come in." The priest said as he turned to go into the church.

Samuel began to take of his shoes.

-------

Lt. Swayne, Alyssa and Koiko enter the mess hall

"We'll ill get you the V.I.P menus again unless you can remember what was on it."

Nomi also takes off her short boots and looks round the church figuring this is where she'll get married.

"Greetings father" she says "I'm Nomi Onazuka from the Kagemon" shaking his hand.

###

Alyssa says to Lt Swayne "the Lasagne will do Koiko and myself. We'll have to get used to Neoman food sooner or later"

Nomi also takes off her short boots and looks round the church figuring this is where she'll get married.

"Greetings father" she says "I'm Nomi Onazuka from the Kagemon" shaking his hand.

###

Alyssa says to Lt Swayne "the Lasagne will do Koiko and myself. We'll have to get used to Neoman food sooner or later"

The priest smiled "I'm Father Moody,"

The trio walk into a large room with high pillars, and stained glass depicting battles from long ago.

In the the far center of the room their was a tall gold statue of a beautiful women holding a sword with her other hand outstretched looking like she wanted you to take it. Behind the statue there was 2 marble statues of Men in obviously the predecessor of the Mark 6 power armor. A small plage under the statuer read "Coord, The God of All True Neomans,"

"So Miss Onazuka will you be wanting the ceremony now or later?"

The people in the church besides Samuel, Nomi, and Father Moody had their heads bowed and we're praying in Neoman.

One of them was a crying women clutching a picture of the terminator lost on the surface, The picture had her in a wedding gown and the terminator in a military dress. She wept and choked up as she tried to say her prayers.

"Now may not be a good time" Nomi whispers "the grieving woman there may not appreciate it.

Father Moody can you give us a time when we can return for the ceremony. I would also like to have some of my shipmates present for the ceremony and need to know what time to tell them to be here.

also is there is there any styles of clothing or colours I should avoid?"

"Now may not be a good time" Nomi whispers "the grieving woman there may not appreciate it.

Father Moody can you give us a time when we can return for the ceremony. I would also like to have some of my shipmates present for the ceremony and need to know what time to tell them to be here.

also is there is there any styles of clothing or colours I should avoid?"

Father Moody smiled "You are very thoughtful, But i do not mind if you wish to have the ceremony later. And the only color that should be avoided by the bride is black, but your guests may wear black."

Samuel chuckled to himself softly.

---------
Lt. Swayne left them and came back with a large tray with 3 plates of lasagna. "There is no getting use to this stuff they call food, Do you need anything to drink, Water? Tea? Soda? A double shot of whiskey?"

"thank you father" Nomi replies "Samuel and myself need to be married before we go on the mission"

She thinks and says "how about tonight at 2100 hours ships time" looking at Samuel and the priest

###

Alyssa asks for tea and Koiko asks for soda.

Alyssa samples a little bit of the meat and chews cautiously coming to the conclusion that the meal is edible. she then pops a slightly larger piece into her mouth and actually likes it.

"We do have processed food in New Kirisubo but its mainly in fast food restaurants or in the form of ration packs" she tell the Lt.

"thank you father" Nomi replies "Samuel and myself need to be married before we go on the mission"

Father Moody smiled and nodded "That will be fine, I will make all the preperations."

Samuel stretched his back and looked sleepily at Nomi, "We'll I'd better take a nap before then."

---------

Lt. Swayne returns with four different drinks. He hand Alyssa her Tea, and Koiko her soda. Lt Swayne sets down his soda with 2 small shot glasses filled with a amber liquid.

"I wasn't joking about the double shot of whiskey." he said with a smile.

"I can under stand about the Food processors, Neomas population exploded past the food supply so my government has been handing out the protein paste dispensers to keep people from starving. Thats why we need this planet to lay plants in the soil and relocate game into the forest,"

He took his double shot and chased it with a gulp of his soda.

He thought for a moment "I've never told you my first name have I?"

Nomi looks at Samuel and says "darling, i'll tell my friends and get my kimono ready while you rest. I'll get the Kagemons chef to organise the reception as well"

She says to Father Moody and says "thank you for everything. This is one day we won't forget"

###

"no you haven't" Alyssa replies "and you've known ours for a while. once we've got rid of the previous tennants you'll have access to all the farmland you need.

A lot of New Kirisubo is uninhabited and we have vast farms there"

Koiko seems to be enjoying her meal and soda as well.

Nomi looks at Samuel and says "darling, i'll tell my friends and get my kimono ready while you rest. I'll get the Kagemons chef to organise the reception as well"

She says to Father Moody and says "thank you for everything. This is one day we won't forget"

Koiko seems to be enjoying her meal and soda as well.

"My pleasure," Father Moody said and walked off.

Samuel walked with Nomi out of the church.

"So, what do you think of the Church? Does it suit you." He said as he took her in his arms.

----

"My first name is William." William said as he ate some of the lasagna

Nomi kisses Samuel and says "It does suit me. A lot of the temples on New Kirisubo are simple affairs and you also take off your shoes to enter them as well"

She consults her cronometer and says "darling its past 1700 hours now you'll have enough time for a nap before you need to get ready.

I'll return to the Kagemon and make the arrangements and i'll see you later"

she smiles, kisses him on the cheek in the crowded corridor and hits her comm badge saying something in Kirisuban.

a transporter beam picks her up and she vanishes..

###

"William san is certainly an improvement for a warrior" Alyssa replies after drinking some of her tea.

Nomi kisses Samuel and says "It does suit me. A lot of the temples on New Kirisubo are simple affairs and you also take off your shoes to enter them as well"

"William san is certainly an improvement for a warrior" Alyssa replies after drinking some of her tea.

Samuel heads to his room and sleeps.

----

William snorted "Please, I'm just some dumb kid who heard the bugle call and signed up."

William sighed as he drank some of his soda.

----
Jacob looked at Ari, "Well, with this wedding i don't think we should show up plastered... maybe after the ceremony we will have our drinks."

Nomi appears back on the Kagemon and comms Alyssa, Mariko and Ari telling them that the wedding will take place at 2100 hours that night

She then retires to her own room and gets a short nap before picking out the ivory coloured dress kimono from her wardrobe every female officer was issued and the red obi that went with it.

their was also the option of a more ornate uniform jacket and skirt suit for a dress uniform but she had promised Samuel a kimono.

she then heads out to the galley and gets the chef started on the food for the reception. He expands the menu choices slightly and replicates more sake and wine from the protein resequencers.

with the Kagemon having a small crew within an hour everyone knew about the wedding..

###

on the bridge Ari listens to the message and says "it looks like Nomi picked our drinks time to get married. It looks like we'll have to wait until the reception starts and I'll need to dig out my dress uniform. I hate wearing the ivory jacket"

###

Alyssa hears the message in Kirisuban and says smiling "Nomi and Samuel are getting married at 2100 hours and the reception will be on the Kagemon"

Samuel woke up and put on his military dress uniform. He looked at himself in the mirror. "Looking good..." He said to himself.

He walked out the door and headed toward the church, he was soon joined by Fredrick who was also in military dress.

They didn't speak but they knew what each other was thinking.

-------
"Kids..." Jacob sighed into the comm.

"We'll we will have to get ready." William said

while everyone gets ready Dr Abe helps Nomi fix her hair, apply some makeup and ties the belt sash of her kimono.

The doctor also wears the dress uniform of an ivory coloured silk jacket, a knee length black skirt and thigh high black boots.

Alyssa and Koiko also got ready for the wedding and into their dress uniforms.

they had beamed over earlier along with Ari who didn't look comfortable. Many a time she had threatened to burn the dress jacket but still hadn't.

Nomi and Dr Abe reach the church a few minutes early and Nomi's nervousness is plain to see.

"Samuels probally as nervous as you are" Dr Abe says as they enter the church to see Samuel and Frederick in their dress uniforms.

Nomi gives Samuel a nervous smile as her chronometer ticks round to 2100 hours.

Father Moody stood silently behind a podeum.

He motioned for Nomi to stand next to Samuel.

"Are all of your guests here?" He asked Nomi in a warm tone.

"everyones here" Nomi replies "my other friends and crewmates will be waiting on the Kagemon for the reception to start"

Nomi stands beside Samuel with a bunch of cherry blossoms taken from the Kagemons hydroponics bay and a gold ring for him.

"everyones here" Nomi replies "my other friends and crewmates will be waiting on the Kagemon for the reception to start"

Nomi stands beside Samuel with a bunch of cherry blossoms taken from the Kagemons hydroponics bay and a gold ring.

"Well lets begin." Father Moody said

"Friends, We are gathered her today under the eyes of- god, We are here to witness the marriage between two people. The Two standing here before me are of undying love and passion for each other. May the two of them be united as one and live the rest of their lives together."

"Samuel... Do you lover her?"

"Yes,"

"Will you be faithful to her threw out your life?"

"Yes,"

"Will you love her until you last breathe?"

"Yes,"

"You may proceed Samuel,"

Samuel took a knee in front of Nomi.

"Nomi, I love you more than i could ever express. My only wish in this life, is that i can be the man you deserve.

From this moment on I denounce all other women from my past, You are the only one i will ever set eyes on. You are my bride, my life, my wife and i will always love you,"

Samuel took a ring from his pocket and slipped it on her finger. He stood up still holding her hand as if it were extremely fragile.

"Nomi, Do you have any vows you would like to say?"

Nomi said to Samuel "Samuel Wolf, I promise that you will be the only man in my life while we both live.

I promise to love and honour you in good times and bad, in sickness or in health and in peace and war"

She slips the ring she has on Samuels hand a little tear coming from her left eye.

Nomi kneeled beside Samuel and said "Samuel Wolf, I promise that you will be the only man in my life while we both live.

I promise to love and honour you in good times and bad, in sickness or in health and in peace and war"

She slips the ring she has on Samuels hand a little tear coming from her left eye.

When she stands Father Moody continues "By the power givin to me, i pronounce you Husband and Wife, Samuel you may kiss your bride."

Samuel took a step closer to her and took her in his arms

"I love you," He said as he bent down to kiss her.

"i know" Nomi says softly just before they kiss.

Nomi wraps her arms round Samuel as her crewmates watch the proceding, Ari shedding a few tears of joy for her XO.

Nomi wraps her arms round Samuel as her crewmates watch the proceding, Ari shedding a few tears of joy for her XO.

They kissed for a long time until Samuel drew back softly and held her in his arms.

Jacob smiled from the back of the room, along with William, and Fredrick.

Father Moody smiled and raised his arms and shouted "Now go into the world as husband and Wife!"

Samuel walked with Nomi out of the church followed by the guests.

"So where off to now babe?" Samuel said to her in a warm tone.

Just before they left Nomi threw the bunch of cherry blossoms and Alyssa caught them.

"Back to the Kagemon for the reception darling unless you need to pick up anything from your quarters" Nomi replied softly and realising something.

"We haven't worked out where we'll live now we're married. On the Kagemon or the Juggernaught but I suppose my quarters will do in the meantime"

she kisses him again and says "hang on darling. we need to beam back"

she hits her comm badge, speaks a few words and the two newlyweds appear on the pad of transporter room 1.

"the next stops the mess hall my dearest" she says

"the next stops the mess hall my dearest" she says

When Samuel and Nomi reached the mess hall it was filled with people...and his stomach responded with a small growl.

"Wow, you pulled out all the stops didn't you?" He said before kissing her on her forehead.

William walked up to Alyssa with two glasses of Norfolk tears "Drink?"

The Kirisubans looked more like women now they were in their dress uniforms and even the few male crew attending the reception had the same basic dress jacket, black trousers with an ivory line down the sides and their usual short boots.

when Alyssa seen William she smiled and said "thank you William. I'll give it a try" accepting the glass of norfolk tears.

a large space had been cleared in the middle so people could dance and Ari had started a datatape of the music that people dance to at Earth weddings playing gently in the background before she joined Jacob.

Mariko and Koiko caught up with Nomi and Samuel and hugged them before letting them get to the buffet table. The chef had quite a spread of things ranging from noodle based meals to prawns, a pot of soup and even mini cheesecakes prepared.

Nomi settles for a bowl of noodles and prawns. enjoying the light meal she says "darling we always pull out the stops"

Ari said to Jacob "I almost feel like i'm losing my own daughter now Nomi is married. I feel like a mother to all of them.

I guess that makes me a mother hen"

William smiled as she took her first sip, but suddenly something caught his eye and smiled, "Exscuse me..." He set is glass down and walked threw the crowd.

Samuel smiled when he saw the cheese cake, but he got a little of everthing.

He ate silently thinking of the days events, "Children" was where his mind was focused.

Jacob smiled as he sipped a rum and coke he had brought.

"Yes, i would like to know all of the people under my command but... i have a lot of people under me.

But your not loseing her, your handing over the reins to someone who i can tell you is one of the most trust worth men in the universe.

And I--- oh, crap... your about to witness a tradition that is held when someone in the military marries,"

Fredrick, William and about 20 other men snuck behind Samuel who was at the bar with his bride.

They grabbed him and drug him to the center of the dance floor, Samuel trashed about jokeignly.

The men divided into two groups Samuel, Fredrick, and William were on one side and the men on the other side had wedding rings on.

The un married men grabbed Samuel and lifed him off the ground be his hands and legs. They swung him back and forth for a second and then they threw him into the married mens side, The Married men caught him and they all cheered.

Ari replies to Jacob "we have traditions as well. The bride and groom has the first dance. I know Nomi can dance but can Samuel?

She sips some of her wine as she witnesses the Neoman tradition being carried out.

Alyssa also sees William help out in the Neoman tradition and is left holding his glass and gets the idea 'just maybe he could be mine'.

Nomi being distracted by another Neoman officer didn't realise what was going on too it was too late but she goes over to Samuel knowing they're in the right place for the first dance.

she kisses him on the cheek and whispers "heres another tradition. the bride and groom always have the first dance at the reception"

she takes his left hand and puts her right arm round his waist as the slow wedding music continues to play.

Once Samuel regains his balance she begins to dance leading him gently as her friends clap and cheer ready to take the dance floor themselves.

Jacob thought for a moment "Actually, I've never seen him dance. But i think he will do alright." He took a gulp from his Rum and coke. "You want some? i can make you one."

Samuel takes her hand and places his hand around her waist as they slowly move with the rhythm of the music.

William walks over to Alyssa a beaming smile on his face. "Well, Embarrassing the hell out of military personnel is fun, its even better when his wife is their." He takes his drink from Alyssa and sipped it.

Nomi was quite surprised to see how well Samuel could dance and the Kirisuban women were looking for partners for the next dance.

Ari sips her wine and says "no thank you Jacob. I'm happy with what i've got here" and asks "I see Samuel can dance after all but would you give me the honour of the next dance?"

Alyssa sips at her norfolk tears and says "I wonder when it'll be your turn to go through that tradition" with a broad smile on her face.

Jacob smiled "Sure, but to dance with a beautiful women like you the honor would be mine."

William chuckled "I don't know, maybe if i meet the right women..." He stared at her with soft eyes.

Samuel felt Nomi's warmth threw he his military dress coat. He leaned in and kissed her passionately at the end of the song.

the song ended and Nomi also threw herself into the kiss.

the next song was a waltz and Nomi wanted to continue dancing.

Ari smiles and replies "with an honourable gentleman like yourself how could it not be an honour to dance with you"

she puts her wine glass down and leads Jacob onto the dance floor.

Alyssa smiles and says "if you don't try looking for one you'll never know if you've found her or not. Why not start with me?"

she takes Williams hand and kisses him gently on the lips.

Jacob shook his head and smiled as he walked onto the dance floor, When the music started Jacob missed a step here or there but he soon got into the rhythm.

William put his arms around Alyssa's waist and pulls her closer.

Samuel smiled and stayed with Nomi on the dance floor

by now the small dance floor was full of dance partners.

Some kirisuban women had found Neoman officers as partners and othe ones who couldn't did what they always did.

Two women dancing in New Kirisubo was nothing unusual.

###

Ari spied some Earabians arriving at the reception as she waltzed with Jacob and said "Jacob, you're quite a good dancer but it dosen't surprise me"

she smiles and leans in closer.

Nomi led the waltz this having been her best dance as a girl and happy that Samuel could keep up with her.

"darling this isn't the only exercise we'll get tonight" she whispers to him.

Alyssa moves closer to William and kisses him again. "how about a dance?" she asks

Jacob smiled "Well, I haven't danced in 3 years so it surprises me." Jacob accidental stepped on Aris foot "Ohh, Sorry..."

William smiled "I've never danced before... but i could give it a shot," He led Alyssa onto the dance floor.

Samuel raised an eyebrow mocking ignorance "What other kind of exercise will we get tonight?" He gave her a sly smile.

"Hey! there's a place for that kind of talk," Fredrick said to Samuel as he passed the two newlyweds with his Kirisuban dance partner"

Nomi raises a slender eyebrow and Frederick and his partner passes them.

Ari nearly loses her timing but recovers. she smiles and says "don't worry Jacob" as she continues to lead "you're doing really well"

Alyssa says to William "just let me lead and you'll be fine. If you put your left hand on my waist and take my right hand you'll be fine"

she starts them off as the waltz continues..

she starts them off as the waltz continues..

Samuel sighed and went back to concentrating on the dance, "Im sorry about him, his only purpose in life is to be a game killer."

Jacob went red, but soon recovers "We goin' to have those drinks tonight?"

William was tense at first but soon began to loosen up. "Wow, i didn;t now i could dance, it must be my teacher."

Nomi smiles and says "darling never mind him" kissing Samuel gently as they dance.

Ari smiles and says "off course we can have more drinks. now is as good a time as any" as she wonders why Jacob is embarassed.

"I never realised I could teach anyone" Alyssa purrs as she gently kisses William "and you're doing great. Are there any other talents you're trying to hide from me?"

Nomi smiles and says "darling never mind him" kissing Samuel gently as they dance.

Ari smiles and says "off course we can have more drinks. now is as good a time as any" as she wonders why Jacob is embarassed.

"I never realised I could teach anyone" Alyssa purrs as she gently kisses William "and you're doing great. Are there any other talents you're trying to hide from me?"

Jacob smiled "we could beam over to my ship, or we could have them in your quarters."

Samuel was slightly out of breath when the song ended "I got to stop smokin'"

William shrugged "I might have a few tricks up my sleeve."

Ari smiles again and says "I think we can leave our children to look after themselves and my quarters are nearer"

as the waltz ends they leave the dance floor.

"lets take a break then" Nomi says and sips at a glass of wine that she took from the food table.

Alyssa grins broadly as new dance partners start in the spaces left by others who have departed. "I'm sure you have William san" she replies whispering "I'm sure Nomi and Samuel won't notice us leaving. they're too occupied with each other. my quarters aren't that far away"

Ari smiles again and says "I think we can leave our children to look after themselves and my quarters are nearer"

"I think they can deal without mommy and daddy for a while." Jacob said as they left the mess hall

Samuel sipped the wine and let it slosh around in his mouth. He looked at Nomi and smiled. "You are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me," He whispered to her.

"We'll we better get going," William said as he put his arm around her waist.

Jacob and Ari reach the Kirisubans captains quarters and she opens the door. she had taken a bottle of wine from the party with her and two glasses as was ready for a celebration.

"Jacob, I just need to get out of this monkey suit and look like a woman again" she says disapearing into the bathroom with some other clothes.

she appears a minute later wearing a pale green sleeveless silk dress which reaches to her knees and is barefoot.

"thats better" Ari says

###

Alyssa leads William back to her quarters and having taken a bottle and two glasses just like her commander she leads William in and closes the door.

"lights, 1/2 setting" she says and a dim light appears in the room. its a small room with a sofa bed against one wall and a small bathroom visable.

Pictures showing scenes of New Kirisubo hang from the walls and Alyssa pours some wine for them.

she takes of her dress uniform jacket and says "i'm glad to get out of that" revealing a red vest top and after leaving the drinks down on a low table sits on the sofa.

###

"I've never been so happy since i met you darling" Nomi replies "and I want it to stay that way forever no matter what life throws at us"

OOC: Well i am back now, i see that we are having a wedding. Sweet. Yes some of the Earabian crew would of came if they were invited and Commander Dorne AND Captain Rotas would of showed up to the dance.


As four Earabians walked into the reception hall. Two of them would of been the Cammander and Captain, while the other two were Geoffrey and a female Comms officer from one of the carrier ships. She was dressed in a formal dress type of uniform, while the men wore a type of suit uniform. While Geoffrey and the young lady went out on the dance floor, Rotas and Dorne stayed off to the side drinking some punch(i assume there is some) and chatted lightly.

Nomi seen the Erabians arriving and says "Darling I'l be back in a minute"

she bows when she sees Commander Dorne and says "Commander I see that you heard about our wedding. However I don't appear to know your colleague"

Nomi seen the Erabians arriving and says "Darling I'l be back in a minute"

she bows when she sees Commander Dorne and says "Commander I see that you heard about our wedding. However I don't appear to know your colleague"


"Ah yes. I figured it would be more relaxing if we introduced our Captain here at a leasure party. This is Captain Jon Rotas of the Earabian Fleet."

Captain Rotas bowed at the waist and said:

"I am glad to finally get away from my ship to finally meet the ones that are working so hard to help us. I would like to also extend my support of whatever you need to complete this mission. I know we wont be able to help as much as we would like on the ground, because we didnt bring any troop transports for our major troop formations. I know we can at least send down a total of 4,000 shock troops from all the ships compliment of shock troops. But we can and will be useful in the air-support though. I will and can bring up 3 of the 5 carriers up for the operations. And each Carrier carries like 500 attack craft.
But enough of that, this is a party for a wedding and i dont want to drag the mission into it. Besides, i would like to meet all your colleagues here too"

Nomi looks round realises her Captain and Alyssa are missing.

"Captain Rotas, my Captain was here earlier but she seems to have gone elsewhere" Nomi replies "but as XO of the Kagemon and the ranking Kirisuban officer on the ground may I welcome you to our ship"

She leads them over to Samuel and introduces Captain Rotas to her husband.

"some of the Kirisuban personel that will be on the mission are here as well but we seem to have lost our field medic from the party"

Nomi looks round realises her Captain and Alyssa are missing.

"Captain Rotas, my Captain was here earlier but she seems to have gone elsewhere" Nomi replies "but as XO of the Kagemon and the ranking Kirisuban officer on the ground may I welcome you to our ship"

She leads them over to Samuel and introduces Captain Rotas to her husband.

"some of the Kirisuban personel that will be on the mission are here as well but we seem to have lost our field medic from the party"

Samuel chuckled "Shes probably with Lt. Swayne, But anyway its a pleasure to meet you Captain Rotas," He held out his hand.

-----
Jacob smile when she reappeared in the dress "Stunning," he said slowly.
-----

William smiled and took off his military dress jacket, he was wearing a black muscle shirt underneath revealing a muscular frame.

Alyssa smiles and says "this room isn't much but it is home and a sanctuary away from work"

she drinks more of her wine when William joins her and they engage in a little small talk along with their drinks before one thing leads to another and the sofa becomes a futon bed...

###

Ari smiles and says "its a little dress i usually relax in when i'm off duty which isn't very often in my job"

she sits beside Jacob while drinking her wine and says "we know nothing of each other apart from the personas we show when we are at work. i think nows the time to fix that oversight.

I'm 32 years old and was born and raised in Tsu on new kirisubo.

its a little town on our east coast where hardly anything happens but along with my mothers I once seen an exibition about the Exploration fleet and knew what I wanted to do from that point onwards. I may command the exploration fleets flagship but I wonder if theres more to life than scanning planets and fighting"

she curls up on the sofa her bare feet brushing against Jacob's legs.

###

"that sounds just like how we got started" Nomi whispers in Samuels ear and smiling broadly.

Alyssa smiles and says "this room isn't much but it is home and a sanctuary away from work"

###

"that sounds just like how we got started" Nomi whispers in Samuels ear and smiling broadly.

Jacob smiled "There is more to life."

"I'm 36 years old and i was born on Neoma.

I am a widower with no kids. I joined the service when i was 14 and had my first command of a ship when i was 22, now i just flay around the the galaxy trying to find something that has meaning, and I've recently found it."

He looked at her with soft eyes and sipped his wine.

-------

"Maybe they will have the same fate as us..." He leaned in and kissed her

Ari drank more wine and softly replied "we're both looking for something rather than just existing and drifting along the river of life"

Now opening up to a man for the first time in her life Ari wondered if they had a future after the campaign was over. Unity could well become a staging post for other exploration ships and more Kagemon class ships were being built.

"Jacob, i've always been lonely in command and i gave up the chance of a family to command starships" she says sadly as she begins to feel slightly drunk "there has to be more to life that duty. Do you really think we have a chance together?"

###

"theres time for that later darling" Nomi says softly squeezing his hand and says to Captain Rotas "i hope you and your party are enjoying the reception"

Jacob smiled "Yes, were both loyal people with honerable pasts. and besides-" He slide closer to her "Were both still young enough to start over again," He leaned for ward and kissed her on her forehead.

Ari smiled and topped up their glasses before drinking more from her glass.

"I'd like to think thats possible" Ari replies softly "so lets see where this path takes us"

She took Jacobs free hand and gently kissed him back as her usually tightly controlled passions were let loose for a little while.

in the privacy of her cabin she could open up to Jacob and forget about her worries and responsibilities and be a woman.

Samuel chuckled "Shes probably with Lt. Swayne, But anyway its a pleasure to meet you Captain Rotas," He held out his hand.

-----
Jacob smile when she reappeared in the dress "Stunning," he said slowly.

William smiled and took off his military dress jacket, he was wearing a black muscle shirt underneath revealing a muscular frame.


Rotas grasps teh out stretched hand of Samuel and shook it with a strong but not overwelming handshake.

I think this is a wonderful reception and the food and drink is wonderful. Its been a while since i have been to a party, let alone a wedding reception since my wife passed about 4 years ago. But it is nice to just relax."

clothes littered the room as both Alyssa and William slept in each others arms until Alyssa woke first and walked across the room to get a drink of water just as she was.

she had a broad smile on her face having acomplished what she had set out to do and found a cute guy for herself. Now she had to wait and see how William reacted when he woke up.

She got back into bed again and ran her hand over his chest. what Nomi could manage she could also do..

While the Rotas and Dorne chat with the Neomans, Geoffrey and the lady he brought with him, name is Lisia, danced away while the music flowed around them. They seemed to float as they danced. Thats when Captain Rotas got a message from him comm.

"Sir, we have an incoming message coming from the Tiger Wing. They are about to jump into the system in about 10 minutes."

"Alright, let Darts know i will meet him in a couple hours," replied Rotas. He turned to his Neoman allies and looks at Nomi.
"I have another captain that is coming here to found out from me how the mission has gone, i would of sent a message ahead of him and let him know, but i figured it would be best in person to give him the news of what we found and so he can report to high command. So dont be concerned when he arrives, he is part of our navy. Besides i need to dance with that young lady over there, i need to steal her fom Geoffrey, before he has all the fun." Rotas grins.

*********

Moments later in space that is behind Rotas fleet, a group of ships drop out of hyperspace. The Tiger Wing, a heavy battleship, leading the way of four other ships, a heavy destroyer, a heavy carrier, and two Slipstream Crusiers.

Samuel smiled "good luck, and ill tell jacobs fleet not to blow your fleet out of the sky. With all the action we've seen space side, I'm guessing theres a gun ensign with a itchy trigger finger."

-------

William moaned lightly when he felt Alyssa's hand go across his chest. He lazily opened his eyes and looked at her

"Hey," he whispered

--------

Jacob layed next to a sleeping Ari, his hand on her stomach, index finger playing with her bellybutton.

Nomi smiles and says "I'm sure that Captain Fujimoto will be available later and she'll also want to meet your colleague"

###

Ari stirs from her light sleep, looks at Jacob and says softly "that was wonderful and it tickles when you do that"

She reaches for her wine glass and takes another few sips from it before she realises theres none left.

"i'll need to get some more" she says and walks just as she is over to the protein resquencher with the empty bottle, places it in the machine and says a few words in kirisuban.

the bottle is half filled with more wine and she returns to bed snuggling in beside Jacob and topping up both their glasses.

###

Alyssa kisses William and pulls the quilt over them.

"you certainly were hiding a few skills from me" she purrs "and you were wonderful"

she vanishes under the quilt to pick up from where she left off.

Nomi smiles and says "I'm sure that Captain Fujimoto will be available later and she'll also want to meet your colleague"

"i'll need to get some more" she says and walks just as she is over to the protein resquencher with the empty bottle, places it in the machine and says a few words in kirisuban.

the bottle is half filled with more wine and she returns to bed snuggling in beside Jacob and topping up both their glasses.

###

Alyssa kisses William and pulls the quilt over them.

"you certainly were hiding a few skills from me" she purrs "and you were wonderful"

she vanishes under the quilt to pick up from where she left off.

Jacob sipped the wine, it wasn't Neoman he could tell that without trying but it was good non the less.

"I haven't done that in a while, i must be getting old." He leaned over and kissed her lovingly.

"Or, is it that your just that good?"

----
"I have a feeling she will be busy until tomarrow..." he says as he noticed that Jacob wasn't there either.

Ari smiles, sips more wine and replies "it takes two people to reach the clouds and rain. I am that good and so are you.

Now since we have the night together we might as well continue with our drinks before we have to become starship commanders again"

###

back at the reception Nomi suddenly realised that Samuel was right and remembered about their commanders drinks appointment and decides to say nothing. Even Ari needed a break from ships business and it was the XO's job to cover for her.

"I see what you mean Captain Rotas. you can't have Lt Geoffrey having all the fun" she replies

Ari smiles, sips more wine and replies "it takes two people to reach the clouds and rain. I am that good and so are you.

Jacob smiled "Don't remind me," He took a sip of wine and then put his index finger in the glass and moved his hand over her and where ever a drop fell from his finger onto her he kissed the spot where it fell leaving no wine left on her body from the droplet.

Ari sipped her wine and let Jacob continue to pamper her.

"don't stop" she whispers as she kisses him back not wanting this night to end.

Ari sipped her wine and let Jacob continue to pamper her.

Jacob continued, but he moved his hand around her body, droplets and gently kisses moved all around her body.

Ari placed her wine glass back on the table as she felt her passions rise again.

She rolls Jacob over and kisses him passionately wanting to move onto the next level.

Jacob took her in his arms and kissed her while his hand moved lower down her abdomen and the adventure commenced.

-----

Fredrick stumbled over to Samuel and put his arm around his shoulders using him for support.

"Aren't you going to drink more?," Fredrick said his word slurring.

"No, i need to be awake for tonight with my wife."

"Puss," He said as he wobbled over to a table and sat down and soon passed out.

Samuel looked at Nomi and rolled his eyes "I'll take him back to my quarters so he can sleep it off, Want to come with me?" He said as he lifted Fredrick from the table, and put Fredericks arm around his shoulders.

Nomi nods and says "I'll come with you. I'm sure you'll need some things from your quarters anyway. It'll probally be faster going by transporter"

she takes Frederick by his other arm and they leave the mess hall heading to one of the Kagemon's transporter room after borrowing a comm badge from Mariko.

Nomi nods and says "I'll come with you. I'm sure you'll need some things from your quarters anyway. It'll probally be faster going by transporter"

she takes Frederick by his other arm and they leave the mess hall heading to one of the Kagemon's transporter room after borrowing a comm badge from Mariko.

When they got to Samuel quarters he laid Fredrick on the bed, and samuel raided his closet stuffing clothes, shoes, uniforms, and profalactics into a duffle bag.

He slung it over his shoulder and kissed Nomi.

"Ready?" He asked as he saw her look at a pictuer with a teenager that was obviously Samuel with another teenager that was slightly short and had long blond hair... Amy.

Nomi seen the old picture and barely reacted to it.

"Darling that was then but this is now" she says softly "that life is over and today you started a new one"

she gently kisses him and takes his hand.

###

Ari had drifted off to sleep again after they made love again and drinking more wine.

She slept soundly looking like a fragile doll rather than the fearsome starship commander most people thought she was.

Samuel sighed "Before I met you i thought i was still i love with her, But now I have found true love with you"

He felt his lust for her rise and he wanted to rip the kimono off her, but he restrained himself.

"We should get back to your room," He said softly before kissing her.

-----

Jacob was sitting on the bed watching Ari sleep, he slid next to her and put his arm around her waist and soon fell asleep.

"we should darling" Nomi says and hits her comm badge.

"Kagemon, two to transport" she says and they vanish in two columns of dazzling light reappearing in transporter room 2.

As soon as Samuel was in Nomis room he was behind her kissing her neck softly while eager hands fumbled at the knot of the kimono.

---
William layed with Alyssa on the sofa, she was asleep but William was still awake He picked her up slowly and walked to the bed. He laid her down and tucked her in. He walked back to the sofa and laid down.

"darling you need to untie the bow carefully" Nomi said to Samuel as he kissed her.

Nomi reached round and undid the bow herself. the obi landed on the floor and Nomi let the outer kimono sit loose on her. she was still wearing the inner kimono although.

Knowing what was on his mind she let the outer kimono drop and sat down on the bed kicking of her shoes.

He softly pushed her back on the bed and kissed her all they way up to her forehead, "When i saw you in the church, i wanted to rip you clothes off,"

"Samuel, sometimes you need to be patient" Nomi says gently to him "you waited and now you have your reward"

"Darling I guess you're skipping to the dessert course again" she adds as she unties the knot holding the inner kimono in place and she says "computer 1/4 lighting"

the lighting dims to the bare minimum setting and the first night of their married life begins.

the reception was still carrying on although people had left early. the food and drink were still flowing and the dancing was still continuing..

Samuel was lying on Nomis bed, Nomi was next to him her arm over his stomach.

Samuel stretched his back muscles and looked at Nomi.

He rolled on his side and gently carresed her cheek. "I love you," he whispered

"So do I" she replies removing her inner kimono to reveal her bare skin. She kisses Samuel back and snuggles into him.

"So do I" she replies removing her inner kimono to reveal her bare skin. She kisses Samuel back and snuggles into him.

"I want to do something special for you." He said as he kissed her.

Samuel moved down her body, kissing her abdomin as he went lower and lower.

Nomi smiles and says softly "surprise me darling" as she lets Samuel pamper her.

Samuel moved lower and lower down her body until he got to his target and sent Nomi into the realm of pleasure.

Nomi moans and lets things take their course..

Fade to Black

When Captain Rotas walked into the ready room of the Tiger Wing, he was very much suprised at how there was only one man waiting in the room. He gave a slight bow at the waist and sat across from the other man.

"So Darts, how was the voyage out to our little corner of the universe? I hope it wasnt too much of a bother to come out here?" grinned Rotas.

"Now why would you think such a think like that old man?" grinned Darts back at the other captain.

"Well, i suppose we should skip the formal garbage and get to the point. We found the wreckage of the exploration ship. And it was not a pretty sight, like what we expected, but apparently the locals, these bug like creatures we ran into savagely tore them to pieces. We barely survived going down there to recover the bodies and the equiptment, which we never really got to do. But we have promised the other fleets here our help in exterminating the creatures so we can recover what we need to," said Rotas.

"Hmmm, well we also have bigger bugs to fry too though. Apparently there is another reason why they sent me out here, and i didnt recieve that info until i was coming into the system. Apparently the high council wants this system too, its very strategic too for the Empires needs," responded Darts.

"I dont see how we plan to accomplish this, especially when two forces are already here to colonize this planet, unless the Council assumes we can take it by force, which i dont condone."

"Well they thought of that themselves. Apparently there seemed to be other plants or bodies of what might be planets in this sector and they want us to check it out. Now we have to find out if these other "fleets" know anything about other planets or wont mind if we colonize them. Also some more good news.....an Admiral is coming out here with a large fleet of colonizing ships and shock troop fleet transport ships. He wants us to talk to these other people before he comes full force, but i said i would come ahead and figure out a meeting time and place in the future." said Darts.

"Well, we are suppose to meet up to coordinate the attack onthe surface against these creatures. You can join along and help give some ideas then old friend." responded Rotas as they walked out of the ready room toward the bridge.

Jacob awoke slowly from his peaceful sleep, Ari was still sleeping. He looked at the chronometer and sighed, It was morning on his ship, but still the night cycle on this one, His internal clock screwed him again. Jacob sat up and stretched while yawning.

-------

William sighed and rolled off the couch into a push up position and started doing one armed push ups.

Alyssa woke up from her now light sleep and yawned gently opening her eyes to find herself in bed.

panicking slightly when she realised that William wasn't with her she looked round and seen him doing push ups.

"darling come back to bed" she says softly to him.

###

Ari was disturbed by Jacob waking up and she moved over slightly in the bed as she opened her eyes.

she smiles and looks at the chronometer on the wall sighing and knowing that she can't get back to sleep.

"Jacob. do you want some coffee?" she asks as she sits up in bed

###

Nomi gently woke up without waking up Samuel and smiled. it was still the middle of night on the Kagemon so she rolled over carefull not to take the blankets with her. Just maybe today they could get a lie in but Ari hadn't mentioned anything about a day off.

She could do with taking some leave to help Samuel move in so she resolved to ask Ari when the day shift began.

Even though it was considered early morn by both of these men from their home world, they had been working all morning to figure out a way to hep the other two fleets in the sector on how to coordinate an attack on the creatures that would suit best and would benifit the landing armies.

"Well, Rotas. I know we can give a supple of an extra 3,000 shock troops, plus armored vehicles. We also have a contigent of special forces. With 4k troops and how many attack craft now?" asked Darts.

"Well with your heavy carrier, which has a contigent of 4,000 attack craft and 1,000 bomber/surface attack craft plus our 1,000 attack craft from our two carriers i have here now. I highly doubt we will need all at once but they can be ready at a moments notice or be in flight awaiting orders. I highly doubt the creatures will be prepared for that type of intensity on them. And with that battalion of tanks(50 tanks), i highly they ground forces shouls have any problem. Now, the only problem i see is coordinating the direction of so many different fleets and types of armies." replied Rotas.

"Well i bet we will have that figured out when we meet with our allies. And if we can find this source of the creature army or the one that controls them, if it exists, then i suggest we inact manuever Bite the Bullet." says Darts.

"I agree. This way, we can use the tanks to their full ability. Well i should be recieving a message from one of the allied ships on when we are meeting and who is to be overall leader of opperations." said Rotas

Alyssa woke up from her now light sleep and yawned gently opening her eyes to find herself in bed.

panicking slightly when she realised that William wasn't with her she looked round and seen him doing push ups.

"darling come back to bed" she says softly to him.

###

Ari was disturbed by Jacob waking up and she moved over slightly in the bed as she opened her eyes.

she smiles and looks at the chronometer on the wall sighing and knowing that she can't get back to sleep.

"Jacob. do you want some coffee?" she asks as she sits up in bed

William stood and walked over to Alyssa he crawled on the bed and kissed her, "Sorry babe,"

---------

Jacob nodded slowly, "That would be fantastic," He stretched again his old joints creaked

Ari slips on a sleeping kimono and gets two coffees from her replicator.

She gives one to Jacob and says "I can't do much else about breakfast for an hour or so" as she sits on the bed sipping at her own coffee.

She smiles and adds "Even although the mess hall opens early i'm sure that its still a mess from the reception"

###

Alyssa smiles, kisses William and says softly "you're excused darling" as she took him in her arms.

Alyssa smiles, kisses William and says softly "you're excused darling" as she took him in her arms.

Jacob smiled "Ill tell some of my boys to help, i know they were the cause for the mess... when Neomans party, we party hardy," Jacob took a big gulp of the black coffe and smiled "You explorers are so lucky, our coffee is runny mud compared to this." Jacob took another gulp and gritted his teeth.

Jacob leaned into her and kissed her forehead.

-----
William smiled when Alyssa took him in her arms. "Sorry if i scared you, but my insomnia was going haywire so i did what i always do and worked out. Thats how I am so buff." he kissed the tip of her nose.

-----

Samuel awoke for a few seconds and made himself comfertable by putting his arm around Nomis waist and started to drift back to sleep again.

Ari chuckles and replies "If I had known our food was a recruitment tool I'd have probally recruited some of your people by now into the Kirisuban fleet"

She sips at her coffee and adds "Jacob I'll send a replicator over to your ship if you want then your people can have good coffee, at the moment they only do drinks but eventually we'll have models that can do food"

She thinks and says "I do have some food in my little kitchen. mostly dried stuff but theres some rice porriage there if you're hungry"

###

Alyssa replies gently "I could give you something for your insomnia"

###

Nomi drifts back to sleep again as her busy day catches up with her. it looked like she was going to need that lie in after all..

Ari chuckles and replies "If I had known our food was a recruitment tool I'd have probally recruited some of your people by now into the Kirisuban fleet"

Jacob shook his head "No, ill get something from the mess hall later, but thanks anyway. And dont be trying to steal any of my men!" He gave her a face of mock anger before he couldnt hold his smile anymore.

----

William thought for a second "Like what?"

Ari laughs and says "why don't we get breakfast in your mess hall. after all I've shown you Kirisuban food so its only fair that I get some Neoman food even if the coffee is like runny mud"

She kisses Jacob gently and sips more of her coffee a big smile on her face.

###

Alyssa ponders and says softly "I am a trained nurse so I know a bit about Insomnia. My grandmother had this old remedy which was hot milk with nutmeg if you want it. Otherwise tiring yourself out seems to work as well"

She kisses William again starting to plant butterfly kisses on his chest.

Jacob smiled "Well, you asked for it. Ill treat you to something special in the mean time." He takes another large gulp of coffe and set his mug down and moved behind her his hands gently massageing her shoulders.

------

Willaim smiled "You may get me to sleep yet..."

Ari lets Jacob work away as she lets her sleeping kimono drop from her shoulders. She sips at her coffee as she relaxes.

###

Alyssa keeps working down Williams chest and vanishes under the sheets popping up behind him.

"some oil would help but I'll have to make do" she says as she starts to massage his back remembering some tricks an aijin showed her once on New Kirisubo during a night of passion.

Jacobs practiced hands worked, soft but strong squeezes of her shoulder muscles that were hard like rock start to melt and become putty.

Jacob kissed the back of her neck lovingly as his hands continued to work their magic.

--------

William moaned softly as Alyssa's hands began to massage his back muscles, he felt himself start to relax.

"That feels good," he said softly

"I needed that" Ari sighs and leaves her now empty coffee cup down. Her sleeping kimono slips down even further as Ari leans slightly forward to make it easier for Jacob to pamper her.

###

Alyssa says softly "I had an Ai-jin perform this service for me when I was last home and she was just as good with ther hands. She told me what to do if I needed to ease anyone elses tensions"

she kisses William and keeps massaging him until she feels the knots in his back untangle then starts to move up to his shoulders.

Jacobs hands moved to her lower back and massaged the rock hard muscles all over her back, again they failed to keep hard under Jacobs practiced hands.

-----

"Mmmmm, It shows," William said as he felt the tension melting away.

"thats wonderful" Ari softly says as she lies on her chest to make things easier for Jacob. she slips of the kimono completely so nothing gets in the way.

###

The Kagemons chef, Yuko Omura looks at the state of the mess hall and finding some Neomans still there nursing a hangover takes pity on them.

"come on boys" she says kindly "i'll replicate you some of my own hangover cure which will make you feel better" with a smile that your grandmother would have given you. this grey haired woman was literally a grandmother to the crew and the person in whom a lot of people sought advice from or confided in.

##

Alyssa finishes up on William's shoulders and kisses his cheek.

"I'm sure you could sleep again after that" she says eager for more loving "but its your turn to relax this time"

She starts with more butterfly kisses and pulls the sheet over them as their passions rise again.

fade to black

Jacob moved down to her legs and started to massage them, knowing the tension spots, he worked them into submission. He got a sly smile as he massaged her.

He turned her over and kissed her.

-----------

The Neomans stopped cleaning up and they all massed around the Kagemons chef.

mumbeled thanks came up from them.

Yuko replicates her top secret 'cure' and hands them all a cup of it.

"It may taste bad but it'll settle your stomach and stop the drummer thats playing in your heads" Yuko says softly.

She checks the pots of rice porriage she has on the stove, stirs them and helps them get the mess hall back in order for the day shift starting and the night watch who would be off duty soon.

###

Ari smiles broadly as she's turned over and takes Jacob in her arms taking a look at the chronometre on the bedroom wall. They still had an hour or so before Ari needed to get out of bed.

"why couldn't we have done this sooner?" she asks before kissing Jacob tenderly.

---
The Neomans chugged the foul tasteing brew, stacked thier cups, and went back to work.

---
Samuel awoke slowly and slithered out of bed, he grabbed a clean uniform and headed toward the bathroom.

He turned on the water in the shower and took of his clothing, he stept in and started to wash himself with female styled soap and shampoo.

---
William slept on Alyssa's bed, He awoke and sat up on the bed. "Damn, she was right..."

Alyssa is waken by her alarm clock going off and she mutters in Kirisuban getting out of bed.

"sorry darling" she says "but I'll be on duty soon" kissing him before heading to the bathroom with a clean uniform.

she can be heard singing gently in the shower as she gets ready for work.

###

Ari says to Jacob "what i mean is why didn't we realise our mutual attraction sooner. we have so much in common"

she gets off the bed as she is and returns with two more cups off coffee for them.

"this will keep us going until breakfast" she says

###

Nomi was still fast asleep and it took her alarm clock to get her up.

"why didn't i turn it off last night" she says to herself and rolls out off bed feeling sore and hearing the shower going.

Content to wait until Samuel finishes his shower she gets two cups of coffee out of her replicator so he's some coffee when he's finished.

She sips at hers and smiles.

###

before long the mess hall is ready for their first customers and Yuko serves out breakfast to Neomans, some tired looking Kirisuban women and the day shift about to go on duty.

William laid back on the bed and puts his hands under his head and shuts his eyes.

---------

Jacob sips his coffee, "I don't know, probably duty to our country's, loneliness, and shyness were probably key factors, but..." Jacob leaned in a kissed her on her forehead "I'm glad we found each other."

---------

Samuel stepped out of the shower, dried himself off, and put on his uniform and changed the Lt. emblems to his Marshal ones.

He stepped out of the bath room and saw Nomi siting on the bed with two cups of coffee.

"Hey babe, You finally decided to get out of bed uh?" he kissed her and sat down next to her.

"Thank you babe," he took the his cup of coffee and sipped it "Mmmm,"

Nomi smiles and replies "Darling,I had to get up since Ari never mentioned anything about a day off after the wedding. Ari should be up by now and if she's agreeable i'll be able to take at least part of the day off so I can help you move in"

Nomi sips some of her coffee, slips on the inner kimono from the previous night and heads to the shower getting ready to face a new day.

###

"me too" Ari says as she adds "I'll better check in with our newly weds"

she looks for her sleeping kimono, finds it putting it on and then hunts round her dress uniform jacket and her comm badge.

she hits the badge and Ari says in english "Captain Fujimoto to Commander Onazuka"

###

Alyssa emerges from the shower, dried herself off and reappears in her normal red and black uniform.

William takes the cup of coffee and drank it thoughtfully.

"Tasty," he said with a smile

ooc: Sry about the lack of posts but Work + school = no alot of time.

Nomi hears the comm badge and after getting out of the shower and slipping on a robe she answers it.

After speaking to her Captain she smiles and says "Ari's given me the morning off as her wedding present. that means darling I can help you move in"

She kisses Samuel and then returns to the bathroom to finish her shower.

Alyssa says to William "I'm glad you like it. maybe we can do this again but i've got to get to work soon.

The door will lock itself when you leave darling"

She kisses William gently before finishing her coffee and leaving for the sickbay

ooc: i understand fully

Samuel smiled and picked up his comm. out of his radio and dialed in Jacob, They spoke briefly and Samuel got jacob to give him the morning off too.

----

William got dressed and walked out if Alyssas room.

When Nomi finishes her shower and finds out that Samuel also had the morning off she kisses him before she picks out a green knee length skirt and a white sleeveless top.

when she dresses she kisses him and says "that means I can help you but first we should get some breakfast"

###

Ari goes to the shower and starts it running before stepping into the hot water.

"thats better" she says to herself as the water relaxes her.

###

when Alyssa reported for duty Dr Abe soon noticed that something was different about her head nurse.

she had a 'glow' that most men would miss and that women never did miss.

Over a quick breakfast in sickbay she teases the story out off a happy Alyssa and promises to keep it a secret.

Samuel smiled "That sounds good, Im starving."

William walked into the airlock and found about 20 men sitting around chatting while eating MREs, One of his men tossed him a MRE and William sat down and ate.

"then lets go to the mess hall before we pack up the rest of your things" Nomi suggests.

they end up in the Kagemons mess hall which is beginning to fill up nicely.

Yuko, the chef sees them enter and calls them over.

###

Ari finishes her shower and gets changed into a clean uniform picking up her dress uniform from the night before and putting it back in the wardrobe.

Ari finishes her shower and gets changed into a clean uniform picking up her dress uniform from the night before and putting it back in the wardrobe.

Samuels nose was filled with the smells of food and his stomach growled slightly.

---

Jacob smiled at Ari as he got dressed as well.

"Ready for some first class breakfast?"

Ari smiles and says "Jacob I'm ready for breakfast Neoman style. you can lead the way"

###

Yuko, the Kagemons matriarch smiled and Nomi said "granny, I'll have some fruit salad and green tea"

She turns to Samuel looking for his order.

ooc: the chef has breakfasts ranging from rice porriage, toast and scrambled eggs, various cereals and other common breakfasts

"Rice porriage sounds fine," Samuel said as he took Nomis hand

-----

Jacob smiled and led Ari to the Airlock,

"Commander on deck!" Shouted one of the men in the airlock and the others scrambled to their feet.

"As you were, Were just going to my ship," Jacob said.

They boarded a Drop ship and were soon in the Juggernauts mess hall.

They walked past the usual crowd and entered a side room that had a sign reading Admirals dinning room.

The room was small but was well furnished and had a table with 4 seats.

Jacob moved the seat back and let Ari sit down and he took the seat across from her.

"Sir what will you be having?"

"I'll Have the scrambled eggs with toast and scrapple, with orange juice." Jacob said

"Ma'am what will you be having? I can cook anything you want,"

"its a good choice darling" Nomi says smiling. Breakfast is served up by Yuko and Nomi carried the tray to a free table.

###

"i'll have toast and scrambled eggs and a coffee" Ari says to the crewman as she sits down

Commander Dorne and Captain Rotas turned into the officers hall to meet up with Captain Darts.

"So what will it be boys? Bacon and eggs? Or steak and eggs?" grinned Darts.

"Well, as much as i like my steak, i highly doubt i will even try to order those on a ship at this time," chuckled Rotas.

"Oh trust me i always come prepared on voyages, but you are right, i am for a light meal this morning anyways," he says as he turns to the cook.

"its a good choice darling" Nomi says smiling. Breakfast is served up by Yuko and Nomi carried the tray to a free table.

###

"i'll have toast and scrambled eggs and a coffee" Ari says to the crewman as she sits down

The chef nodded and smiled "I'll be back in a few moments,"

The chef left and Jacob looked at Ari "So, 12 hours to go until we land... What do you think about how we are going to do?"

---

Samuel sat down and looked at Nomi and smiled

"Good breakfast before battle, The best thing there is.," he said as he ate some of the porriage

"the plan is sound" Ari replies "but I've never known a battle thats gone as planned. All we can do is stick to the plan and adapt when we have too"

###

"Darling I hope we both come back from it alive" Nomi says softly "we'll probally be the hospital ship and evac station during the operation if the last two encounters are anything to go by"

Captain Rotas and Darts were inspecting the attack craft that would be used in the up coming battle when Commander Dorne and a sargent approached.

"Sirs, our shock troops are almost ready. They are boarding the troop transports and our tanks and equiptment too." said Dorne.

"Alright then. Get our ships in place to launch the the troops and attack craft." ordered Rotas.

"alright then friend lets go check out the engine room and get you ready to watch the launch of our battle in a bit." says Darts.

ooc: Who are you attacking, Me or the creatures? Either way its all good, it'll progress the story line.

Jacob nodded "Yes, but Neoman soldiers are very... Blood hungry. They probably wont pull out of Whiskey outpost, they'll fight to the last."

-------

Samuel put down his spoon and smiled, "I know you'll come back alive, because I'm going with you to ensure that... I would to die to protect you, If it comes to that then so be it."

Ari replies "then it looks like we'll be getting their seriously wounded in that case. we'll probally have to enter the atmosphere to make a medical evac easier"

###

Nomi smiles and says "thats what we promised each other and soon we'll be back in a warzone. if I leave the surface you're going back to the Kagemon with me. You're not getting out of my sight"

Ari replies "then it looks like we'll be getting their seriously wounded in that case. we'll probally have to enter the atmosphere to make a medical evac easier"

###

Nomi smiles and says "thats what we promised each other and soon we'll be back in a warzone. if I leave the surface you're going back to the Kagemon with me. You're not getting out of my sight"

Jacob smiled, "There will always be the macarage for medical support, their fully capable of treating patients and they can freeze the ones they cant handle until they reach a medical facility."

----

Samuel ate some more "Well, I'd rather wait for you then you wait for me in the afterlife."

Ari says "we can't do much with only 60 crew and a single ship but we will try and play our part"

###

Nomi eats some of her fruit salad and replies "even in the afterlife you won't get away from me"

Ari says "we can't do much with only 60 crew and a single ship but we will try and play our part"

###

Nomi eats some of her fruit salad and replies "even in the afterlife you won't get away from me"

Jacob smiled "Your help has already provin your capabilities 100 fold,"

The chef opened the door with two trays of food, he set Jacobs, and Aris down.

"Thank you" Jacob said as he picked up a ketchup bottle and poured some on his scrambled eggs.

--------

Samuel chuckled "I would never want to get away from you."

Ari replies to the chef "Domo Arigato" as she takes her tray of scrambled eggs, toast and coffee.

she sips at the coffee and finds its not too bad and nods eating a piece of toast.

"the coffees not quite as bad as you made it out to be. i've actually had worse on some other ships i've served on"

###

"i know that darling" Nomi says smiling as she drinks some tea "I'll have Alyssa set up an emergency aid station at the landing zone and i'll be there to keep Ari informed.

We'll also have both our armed shuttles flying round the area so we can call down weapons fire"

Ari replies to the chef "Domo Arigato" as she takes her tray of scrambled eggs, toast and coffee.

Jacob smiled "Well different people different tastes i guess. I know what you mean, Some moth ball ships are horrible when it comes to sustenance."

---

Samuel nodded "Sounds good,"

Mariko enters the mess hall nursing a sore head and takes several pieces of toast and a mug of tea.

Nomi waves her over and Mariko asks "is it ok if i join the newly weds?"

###

Ari smiles and replies "I remember the first ship I was on. I was 16 at the time and a raw officer cadet doing my practical training. the Kageshima's chef did try her best but she didn't have very good food to work with and the coffee and tea wasn't much better. to be honest the ration packs were better"

ooc: Who are you attacking, Me or the creatures? Either way its all good, it'll progress the story line.

Jacob nodded "Yes, but Neoman soldiers are very... Blood hungry. They probably wont pull out of Whiskey outpost, they'll fight to the last."

-------

Samuel put down his spoon and smiled, "I know you'll come back alive, because I'm going with you to ensure that... I would to die to protect you, If it comes to that then so be it."


ooc: I am sorry, my troops are just preparing for our battle with the creatures, loading ships and preparing equiptment and so forth, sorry for the confusing. Besides i dont want to attack the creatures yet, i would like to go in with you guys hehe. But i figured this would signal that i was ready to do battle with you guys on the creatures.

Samuel smiled "I'm not one to argue, Sit please."

---------

Jacob chuckled "I remember those days, being a recruit just out of basic and having to deal with those ratty ships they put the newbies on..."

ooc: Okay, but that post with your guys talking about the possibility of taking Unity from us by force intrigued me alittle.

Samuel smiled "I'm not one to argue, Sit please."

---------

Jacob chuckled "I remember those days, being a recruit just out of basic and having to deal with those ratty ships they put the newbies on..."

Ari drank more coffee and smiled. "it looks like we started the same way" she replies.

###

Mariko said "thanks" and sat beside Nomi chewing at her toast.

She turns to Nomi and says "you guys must have had fun last night. I seem to remember having a dance with a Neoman officer and then getting drunk with Dr Abe and her people.

Didn't Alyssa vanish early as well?"

Ari drank more coffee and smiled. "it looks like we started the same way" she replies.

Mariko said "thanks" and sat beside Nomi chewing at her toast.

She turns to Nomi and says "you guys must had fun last night. I seem to remember having a dance with a Neoman officer and then getting drunk with Dr Abe and her people.

Jacob ate some of his scambeled eggs "Seems so,"

--------

"I suspect she left with William," Samuel said

Mariko smiles and says "then she may have had fun as well".

Nomi also smiles and says "I did notice earlier that Alyssa had her eye on him. she's like a tigress after her prey when she finds a man she likes.

I'm sure we'll find out later what happened. theres no keeping secrets on a ship as small as the Kagemon.

Still we have to return to the surface and I hope it dosen't cause any complications"


###

Ari eats more of her breakfast enjoying the eggs and toast.

"Jacob, you must have started in the Neoman service at a young age as well. my first job was operating transporter platforms and I had to fix them as well.

our command officers have to know all the basic ships systems as well as the ones they specialise in"

Mariko smiles and says "then she may have had fun as well".

Nomi also smiles and says "I did notice earlier that Alyssa had her eye on him. she's like a tigress after her prey when she finds a man she likes.

Samuel nodded "If it does complicate things I'm going to chew him a new arse, if he disobeys an order ill bust him down to a grunt. But i doubt he will, he is a good man, knows whats at stake and cares deeply for the men under his command, I can remember pulling him out of a hellhole as he tried to go back to get a man that we had to leave behind."

-------

Jacob smiled "I was 14 when I was taken from my home and put into the service, My first job was a fighter pilot."

He closed his eyes "I miss flying those fighters because to me, It wasn't a war machine it was... freedom,"

Nomi nods and says "Alyssa knows to keep work and her personal life separate. when she's on duty she concentrates on her work"

she drinks more tea and finishes of her fruit salad.

###

"I know how to fly as well but I've never been in a starfighter before" Ari replies "all my experience has been in shuttlecraft but being a Captain stops you getting out and having fun.

your XO gets all the fun of away missions instead"

Nomi nods and says "Alyssa knows to keep work and her personal life separate. when she's on duty she concentrates on her work"

she drinks more tea and finishes of her fruit salad.

"I know how to fly as well but I've never been in a starfighter before" Ari replies "all my experience has been in shuttlecraft but being a Captain stops you getting out and having fun.

"Hopefully, William will do the same," Samuel said coldy as he set down his spoon in the empty bowl.

---
Jacob smiled "Do you want to take a short flight?"

Nomi noticed the coldness in her husbands voice and said gently to him "I'm sure William is professional enough to do the same as Alyssa.

Now we've breakfast out of the way lets get the rest of your stuff"

she squeezes his hand gently.

###

Ari returned the smile and says "I'd love to have a go in a fighter if we've the time before the operation starts"

Nomi noticed the coldness in her husbands voice and said gently to him "I'm sure William is professional enough to do the same as Alyssa.

###

Ari returned the smile and says "I'd love to have a go in a fighter if we've the time before the operation starts"

Samuel stood and smiled "Sorry, just old issues getting to me,"

---

Jacob smiled as he stood up "Please follow me," Jacob lead her to the hanger and to a plane that was draped in a tarp, He pulled it back revealing a older model double man fighter.

On the side of the clear dome it said Cap. Calvert and under it it said Aires. On the co-pilot seat it said Cap. Wolf and under it said Pack-hunter

One of the men in the hanger walked up to Jacob "Sir? any assistance needed?"

Jacob smiled "Yes, could you bring two flight suits and helmets please,"

"Yes sir," The mechanic walked away

"So, what do you think of her?" He said as he turned back to the fighter.

Ari liked the two person fighter and commented "she's a good craft. Is Captain Wolf anything to Samuel?"

###

Leaving Mariko to her breakfast Nomi and Samuel leave the mess hall.

out in the corridor Nomi genty kisses him and she asks "how much more stuff do you need to get?"

Ari liked the two person fighter and commented "she's a good craft. Is Captain Wolf anything to Samuel?"

###

Leaving Mariko to her breakfast Nomi and Samuel leave the mess hall.

out in the corridor Nomi genty kisses him and she asks "how much more stuff do you need to get?"

Jacobs face went slightly cold and showed pain "His father flew with me 10 years ago, he was a good man before he was shot down."

The mechanic walked back with two sets of flight suits.

"Here you are sir," He said as he handed them to Jacob and Ari

"Thank you," Jacob said and the young man nodded and walked away

-----

Samuel thought "Just some minor things, and my bathing soaps..."

"i'm sorry to here about that" Ari says realising that she's put her foot in it and asks "is there anywhere i can change into these?"

###

"ok darling lets go then" Nomi says softly as they head to transporter room 2, transporting across to the Juggernought.

"I'm sorry to here about that" Ari says realising that she's put her foot in it and asks "is there anywhere i can change into these?"

###

"ok darling lets go then" Nomi says softly as they head to transporter room 2, transporting across to the Juggernought.

Jacob showed her a small locker room that said "Female" and when she went inside he went into the adjacent room that said "Men" and began to change.

Samuel went back to his room and took another duffel bag and began to stuff it with casual clothing and his soaps...

"I love moving..." he said slowly

Ari emerges in the jump suit a few minutes later carrying a helmet with a headset built into it.

###

Nomi checks if Frederick is still there before kissing Samuel gently and saying "you'll be able to call our quarters on the Kagemon home. If we have little ones although we'll need more room but thats a long way off.

By then we should have a house on Unity"

Jacob smiled as he exited the locker room and walked to his fighter he slid the dome back and helped Ari into her seat.

Jacob sat down in his seat and slid the dome back over.

he flicked a few switched and a loud hiss came from the dome as it sealed, he put on his helmet and looked back at Ari.

"Ready?"

--------
Samuel smiled "We shall, and it will be the best house on unity."

"i'm ready" Ari replies through her headset

###

"well if we want little ones we'll have to practice" Nomi purrs

"i'm ready" Ari replies through her headset

###

"well if we want little ones we'll have to practice" Nomi purrs

Samuel smiled "Practice makes perfect," he leaned in and kissed her

Jacobs fighter was moved to launch position and a countdown began 3...2...1

Jacob pushed the two sticks at his side all the way forward and his space plane started to go down the flight deck, it passed threw the force field and they were away.

He executed a wide arc over his ship exerting about 6 gees.

Ari was glad she was strapped in as the g-turn is pulled, reminding her of the the evasive shuttle manoevers she had to pull off from time to time.

"I heard a while back that we were getting some starfighters from the Federal Union to equip new carrier ships. I hope i get a go on those as well" she says

###

Nomi returns the kiss and says "we've still got a while before we get back to work so nows a good time to practice"

Samuel frowned when he reached into his pocket "I dont have a condom baby,"

----------

Jacob smiled even though she couldn't see him "I love testing the new fighters we get,"

The fighter sped over Aris ship and soared high over the fleet.

Nomi chuckles and says "darling we won't need one for the recipe that we have in mind"

###

Ari looks round at the fleet which and down at the Kagemon which now seemed so small.

"its good to have fun from time to time" Ari remarks

###

back on the Kagemon Dr Abe and Alyssa were prepping the sickbay in preparation for the expected casualties. the gym and the cargo hold were also being set aside for overspill from the sickbay.

Nomi chuckles and says "darling we won't need one for the recipe that we have in mind"

Samuel smiled and took her in his arms and kissed her

---------

"Sometimes late at night I fly far away from the fleet to see whats around."

He pulled one the throttles all the way reversing the thrust of one engine to the front while he pushed the other one all the way to the front.

The fighter spun around and Jacob pushed the second throttle all the way to the front throttle back to maximum reverse thrust and the fighter flew back wards.

--------


A set of 6 dropships hovered outside the Kagemon airlock they were painted white and had a red cross on the sides.

"This is medical unit 2 from the Macarage permission to land"

"medical unit 2 you have permission to land" the Kagemon's comm officer tells them

the great door opens slowly as the lights come on in the landing bay.

###

Nomi smiles and says "your beds still here so theres nothing to stop us". She kisses him tenderly and dims the lights before slipping off her top.

Fade to Black

###

out in space Ari sees how small everything is around them.

"i've only ever had to worry about one ship at a time" she says "but it must be useful having a fighter on your flagship"

"Yes it does, fighters have made the difference between life and death for us so many times... Nerves of steel fighter pilots have,"

Jacob turned the fighter around and headed back to the Juggernaut

---

The 6 dropships landed in the airlock and began to unload various instruments, medical supply's and about 30 or so medics.

ooc: I sent you a TG

when the night watch changed over to the day watch an encrypted data package was recieved marked crimson level, the most secret status.

As only the captain could encrypt it it was sent to her terminal in the ready room and it waited until she got back on board.

ooc: i've TG'ed you back since the data package will inform Ari of whats happened on the homeworld as well as her new orders

Jacob landed the ship and the dome slid back. He climbed out and held his hand out for Ari.

A man in a white doctors robe walked into med bay escorted by William. They walked up to Dr. Abe.

"Dr. Abe this is Chief Surgeon Micheal Greener,"

Micheal smiled at Dr. Abe "Seems to be that your undermanned, so we have been ordered to help you out here,"

Ari accepts Jacob's hand and climbs out of the starfighter.

As she does her comm badge goes off and a female voice can be heard.

Ari answers the call and nods as she listens replying "I'll look at it when I return".

she says to Jacob "I've just received a transmission from the admiralty. they've send a code crimson message and only I can encrypt it. Maybe its new orders about Unity"

###

Alyssa Ogawa smiles when she sees William, her other colleague Koiko Tsu wondering whats the head nurse is thinking.

Dr Abe bows in welcome introducing herself.

"Dr Fujiko Abe at your service, Chief medical officer of the INKS Kagemon. Chief Surgeon Greener your help will be appreciated since its just myself and 3 nurses here"

she smiles slightly before adding "we've set aside the gym and a cargo hold aside for recovery areas but we can also take over the mess hall if theres serious overspill"

Jacob smiled "Well, you must get back to your ship then."

----

Chief Surgeon Greener smiled "If it gets as bad as predicted we can always send the mortally wounded to the Macarage, we would ice them and transport them to a more... sophisticated hospital base where they can be saved. We have limited trauma tubes on Macarage and we can only hold 500, that why we would have to ice them,"

William winked at Alyssa

"What he means by "Iceing" someone is that we would put them in sleep chambers, effectively putting them in stasis."

----

Samuel laid next to Nomi, their sweaty bodies intangled in each other. The sent from recent sex drifted around the room like a fog.

"Wow, where did that come from?" Samuel said slowly as he untangled himself from her.

Ari replies "if its relevant to our mission i'll keep you informed" and heads to the changing area to get back into her uniform.

A few minutes later Ari returns in Kirisuban uniform, hits her comm badge and asking to be transported directly to the bridge of the Kagemon vanishes in a column of sparkling light.

when she opens up the message she pales. Not wanting to disturb her XO just yet she reads more carefully.

She had heard of Red October but never dreamed they could do anything like wiping out most of the Kirisuban population with a viral infection.

the death of her planet made Unity more important even although the government supporters and the military were going their separate ways.

the exploration fleet had sided with the government but Ari had to stay at Unity until colonists could be sent.

she asks the comms officer to ask Admiral Calvert to come over and the message is sent.

Ari continues reading in disbelief as she sips at a green tea..

###

"i see" Dr Abe replies "hopefully our level of casualties won't come to that during this operation.

I do regard my sickbay as quite sophisicated but it wasn't designed for a large amount of patients. Having a hospital base on hand is better although"

Alyssa smiles when she catches Williams wink

###

"thats the scent of love" Nomi replies as she heads to the shower to get cleaned up

Ari replies "if its relevant to our mission I'll keep you informed" and heads to the changing area to get back into her uniform.

Jacob walked into the room after a few minutes, he sees her expression

"What is it?"

----

Chief Surgeon nodded "I hope it doesn't but... Sometimes things like this happens."

ic: Ari is looking shaken and saddened and she says "Jacob this official despatch from my government has informed me of whats recently happened on my homeworld.

New Kirisubo is no more. it was destroyed by Sephrion nova torpedos to stop a viral plague from spreading throughout the universe.

about a quarter of our population survived the outbreak started by Red October, a communist terrorist group and they're being evacuated to planets in the Sephrion empire and the Federal Union.

We'll be getting colonists eventually but we have even more reason to win the war on the surface of Unity"

Nomi returns from the shower drying herself off and ready to get dressed.

Jacobs face walked over to her and took her in his arms, he felt her saddens "Who did this?"

--------

Chief Surgeon Greener smiled "We always do, Ive seen campaigns with over 40,000 men were sent into combat and only 23,000 survived... It wasn't pretty,"

------

Samuel stood, "I'm going to take a shower too, Coord knows i need one."

ooc: Is Red October a terrorist nation or just RPed terrorist group.

Ari accepted Jacob's comforting embrace as she brushed a tear from her left eye.

"Red October was a terrorist group who were trying to overthrow our peoples government" she answers "we knew about them and had infiltrated agents into them but somehow they got their hands on a viral weapon and set it off in New Kyoto.

The city was nuked after being evacuated to stop the infection spreading but its had already become an airborne infection and infected the water as well.

several other cities were also evacuated and nuked to buy time for a plantary evacuation and only 220,000 Kirisubans survived the plague.

the supporters of the military, now calling themselves the Kiribushi are going with the Sephrions and the government is taking the rest of the survivors to a new home in the Federal Union. The exploration fleet sided with the government so i'll be getting my orders from slighty further away now.

by now the fleets would have began their journeys but we've been ordered to stay here and get Unity ready for the colonists"

Ari's usual calm and confident exterior now collasped as she cried freely mourning her homeworld.

###

Nomi got dressed and while she waited for Samuel to finish his shower she looked round the cabin that Samuel used to call home. when they got 'home' she would have to get another wardrobe for him or even take one of the Neoman wardrobes with them.

Dr Abe smiled and says "Chief Surgeon Greener, I'll show you our designated recovery areas if you like to see them"

Jacob held her in his arms, usually she was rigid and steadfast, but she was a limp noddle in his arms.

"Do you want Neoma to get involved?" Jacob said soothingly as he stroked her hair comfortingly.

"We could also set up refugee areas on Neoma right now if your government okay's it, Someplace for the colonists to stay close to Neoma until Unity is ready."

--------

Samuel got out of the shower and dried off, He saw Nomi looking around

"Whats up?"

-------

Chief Surgeon Greener smiled "Sure,"


ooc: okay, that changes things somewhat. I thought it was a terrorist Nation and i was in the process of writing a mobilization thread... hmmm... *Delete*

Im going to work soon, probebly be about 12 eastern before i get back...

"Darling I was wondering if you needed to bring one of your wardrobes with you" Nomi responds smiling "or would the next officer living here need it"

###

"from what I read my government and the Shogun of the Kiribushi have made their minds up. they'll send colonists when the planet is ready for them so I've got an extra incentive to win this war.

Unity will be a possible new homeworld for some of my people and despite the differences in politics the Kirisubans that get here will live in peace.

they will need a lot of help to get started although because we lost a lot of our food and medical supplies due to contamination

I'll tell my crew everything. they deserve to know the truth"

Dr Abe shoes Chief Surgeon Greener the partly cleared gym and the cargo bay that will be the recovery wards. Camp beds and blankets had already been laid out and each location had a triage unit set up.

drip stands and wheeled dividers where also on display and engineers were installing replicators.

OOC: Sorry about that, internet issues. And very sorry about your home world too. Thats a horrable thing to happen to a world and its citizens.

Captain Rotas walked on his ship, Rodanna, he leans against the display screen showing the movement of his troop ships, attack craft that are going to be used on the planet surface with their allies Kirisubo and the Neomana.

"Send a message to the Kirisubo's, and send out heart-felt feelings of grief of their massive loss.(thats if you told my people at all, which i am going to assume). And let them know we are ready to remove the vermin fromthis planet for their refugees."

"Yessir Captain." replied the comm tech.

**********

Meanwhile Captain Darts was coordinating the carrier group that was put under his command.

"I want at least 3 attack groups out on patrol and/or ready to strike targets that are given to us by the troops on the ground at all times." ordered the Captain.

"Yessir, 3 attack groups will be ordered."

"And send a message to the commander of the Unity fleets that we are ready to strike at their command. Tell them the Earabians are a willing force to be allied with." Grinned Darts.

**********

In the deep space that is behind the enlarged fleet of Earabians came in out of hyper space came 10 ships. The main flag ship was a heavy battleship, followed by four other heavy battleships, two heavy carriers and three troop transportships.

"This is captain Josh Cort of the The Explorer II. I am here on the request of the Council of Earabian Empire."

Captain Rotas looked up from the tactical sceen that showed the ship movements and signed.

"You got to be kidding me," he changes his posture from one foot to another, "I thought they were to be here in another month or so?"

"Sir, maybe the Council thought it was important to send a force right away?" responded Commander Dorne.

"Well, send a message to the Unity force, to Captain Darts and then send a message to Captain Cort to halt just outside our fleets orbit. We might just be able to use his troops for the surface battle to come against the creatures, unless he is just coming into the system to check out if there is other planet."

"Darling I was wondering if you needed to bring one of your wardrobes with you" Nomi responds smiling "or would the next officer living here need it"

Samuel shook his head "Everything I brought is everything i need,"

Jacob held her in his arms and rocked her back and forth listening to her words, "Neoma will help you in any way we can,"

He kissed her forehead softly "And I will be by you side, always."

Chief Surgeon Greener Nodded "You are prepared for the coming tide of wounded, very remarkable for such a small ship,"

"thanks Jacob" Ari replies "but now my crew has to know"

she speaks some kirisuban and the data package which contained a list of survivors is sent to the general area of the ship computer where everyone can read it.

"computer attach this to the data as well" she says giving a short speech in her native tongue about her feeling of loss and how she's sure that their people will rebuilt.

she mentions Unity as a battle which must be won to give their people hope.

with her introduction complete thats sent as well.

with the Kagemon being so small everyone gets to see it soon enough and their allies would get to hear as well. this was also sent to the Erabians as well.

###

Dr Abe smiled and says "we may be a small ship but we do what we can. some treatment will be done here but it mostly be a recovery area

###

Nomi smiled and said "darling if thats everything we'll go home when you are ready"

###

in the Kagemon sickbay Alyssa and the other nurses see the bad news first and it spreads very fast. people check the list of survivors and a lot find that their entire family is gone while others are lucky and have family members who did survive.

for everyone the Kagemon becomes more than a ship of people. it becomes their family from now on

Jacob put his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them softly

"I'm so sorry that this happened,"

He picked put his comm. and sent a message to the Juggernaught within a few moments an MR rocket excited its tube and flew away before entering hyperspace.

Samuel smiled "I'm ready,"

--------

Chief Surgeon Greener smiled "That why were here, so you can keep your people where they need to be and have us take over the recovery wards."

Ari looks up and wipes her tears away.

"its a disaster for our people but we will pick ourselves up and rebuild. Unity is one place they can do it. the Kagemon is now a family ship under these circumstances and there no admiral to tell me otherwise.

its time to get back to work"

###

Nomi says "darling lets go" and hits her comm badge.

"Onazuka here, two to return to the Kagemon"

the two columns if dazzling light picked them up and left them on the pad of transporter room 1.

Nomi instantly knew something was very wrong when she sensed the atmosphere of the people around them..

###

"then i'll leave the recovery areas in your hands" Dr Abe says as Alyssa runs into the gym breathless speaking quickly in Kirisuban.

The Doctor tells her in Kirisuban "i'll look at it later but light an incense stick for me" keeping a brave face on things while she has a visitor.

Jacob nodded and looked at his watch "3 hours...,"

Samuel noticed it too, "I dont like this," he said as he squeezed her hand

-------

Chief surgeon Greener raised an eyebrow "Well, If you need any assistance just let me know, yes were some what obsolete but were are damn good doctors


ooc:
left a reply in the MP4 ooc thread

"so are we" Dr Abe replies "I'll be in the sickbay if you need me or use this".

She give the Neoman Chief Surgeon a comm badge and bows before leaving the recovery area in the hands of the Neomans.

###

"do natte imasu ka" she asks before being told in kirisuban about the information that the Captain sent to everyones computer the transporter chief saddened the same as everyone else.

Nomi tells Samuel "New Kirisubo's gone from the galactic map and the survivors are going the Federal Union and Sephrion space. Kimiko told me that the Captain told everyone and the full report will be in my computer

###

"my place is here and Nomi's is on the surface" Ari replies regaining her usual composure.

"We'll be ready to fight"

a message of support from the Earabians arrives on her terminal and Ari adds "bad news certainly does travel quickly. I've only just sent it to them"

"You okay?,"

----------

"Shows we have freands way out here..." Jacob leaned in and kissed her forehead

------

All across the Neoman fleet the troops prepared, Tanks, Heavy walkers and battle suits were being preped.

They whould be ready soon.

"I'm fine" Nomi replies "but the next few days or weeks will be hard for my crew. However this will only push them onto greater efforts to conquer and hold Unity with our allies help.

It looks like i'll better get on duty. so much for having the morning off"

###

Ari was glad of Jacob's affections in this troubling time.

Her comm badge goes off and she's informed that Nomi is back on board.

"send her and Samuel up here for a final briefing" she orders "i want to make sure that we've covered everything"

"Perfect timing Captain Corts," said Captain Rotas to the visual screen inthe front of the main bridge, "Are you staying here to help us with our allies in defeating the creatures of the planet or are you heading out to find a suitable planet to colonize?"

"Well, originally we came out here to find that and plus make a check up on your findings of our missing craft." responded Corts.

"Well, we wont be able to make conclusions until we remove the threat on the surface. And we wouldnt mind some more support to do that if you are able to. We have a total of 3,000 shock troops we can supply on the surface ourselves, with your three transports, which would give another 6,000 troops would be sufficient to help on the ground. Plus your carriers could considerablly help on the ground in tactical and logistics too." said Rotas.

"Very true, are we to have any other type of conference meeting on planning at all with the other fleets?" asked Corts.

"Well, lets find out," Rotas flips a switch and makes a message to the commander on Kagemon, "This is Captain Rotas of the Rodanna, are we to make any more briefings of our planned attack on the surface? End Message"

the message is bounced through to Ari's terminal and she activates a visual link in her office to the Earbian Captain.

"Greetings Captain Rotas, Captain Fujimoto at your service. I want to call a brief final meeting before we fire our first shots just so everyone knows the part they have to play and their available resources.

its only 3 hours till we start so it'll have to be brief"

the message is bounced through to Ari's terminal and she activates a visual link in her office to the Earbian Captain.

Samuels comm. crackled and Jacobs voice could be heard he said only two words. "Get up here,"

Samuel sighed "Well, time to talk to the big dogs." he said to Nomi with a smile

--------

Jacob smiled "There on there way."

the message is bounced through to Ari's terminal and she activates a visual link in her office to the Earbian Captain.

Captain Rotas smiled and responded, "Roger that. I presume that we are meeting on your ship or is ship to ship contact good enough over the monitor?"

"ship to ship will be sufficent" Ari replies to Captain Rotas "we'll be starting shortly once I get my XO up here and any officers that the Neomans need to call"

###

Nomi smiles and says "you heard the Admiral" and heads to the nearest turbo lift in her civilian clothes heading to the bridge.

"on my way Captain sama" she says after hitting her comm badge

Amy walked onto the bridge where Ari, and Jacob were.

"You rang sir?"

Nomi and Samuel arrive in the next turbo lift car.

seeing Amy there she nods in greeting and enters the ready room ready for the meeting despite her lack of uniform.

Jacob and Amy walk in to the ready room and sat down.

"Samuel feel free to join us" Ari asks gently before adding "now we're all here and Captain Rotas is on my monitor we can start.

from what i've heard Dr Abe and Chief Surgeon Greener will be running the sickbay and recovery wards on the Kagemon. We will be available for emergency transports and dropship dockings as well as having a medic on the surface.

we'll also have both the Kagemon's shuttles armed and ready and flying for as long as possible during this operation. "

Samuel sat down next to Nomi

"Well thats good news but... We have a hell of a fight either way." Samuel said

Amy nodded slowly

Ari replies softly "Samuel, I'm sure we will.

"Major Parsons, are the preparations complete for your base and your troops?"

Ari replies softly "Samuel, I'm sure we will.

"Major Parsons, are the preparations complete for your base and your troops?"

Amy smiled "Yes, it is."

She looked at her watch "The base sections and the construction droids should be leaving shortly."

"Well the way i understood it, we overall are suppose to have at least 30k troops on the ground, right? As far as what we can supply for troops, especially with the newest arrivals here, can support up to 9 thousand of our ground troops. Plus we got a large amount of attack craft that can make runs on the advancing enemy troops. We also can use a couple of our transport ships to be like temperary med ships you can beam the injuried ones too if you want. They can at least stay in orbit and handle anything that is overwelming to your med ship," Rotas adjusted in his seat and continued, "What are the general ideas on how we are to advance from the main base?"

"I believe Admiral Calvert and Major Parsons can enlighten us about the attack" Ari replied "but we can work together with medical matters and the aerial attacks once the hostiles are located. I hope we don't need your medical ships but i fear we will have a lot of casualities

before the first shots are fired our shuttles will be dropping motion detectors so we can get an idea of the enemy movements. then we can attack from the air where we are needed"

"Basically it going to be hit and runs from me men... We go in cause a disturbance and when they appear we run and blast the bastards from space..." Jacob said slowly

"And my men will do a full scale assault of the planet, Nothing can escape us..." Amy butted in

"Thats why were fearing so many casualties." Samuel remarked

Amy scoffed in response.

Amy scoffed in response.


Captain Rotas leaned back in his chair and nodded.

"Yes, I do agree with the ideas of using motion sensors and making one large attack in one sweep. I suggest we find one weakened area of land where we can land our force and build a strong base. From there we can send out search and destroy groups. My techs can set up some of our fighter craft with high sensors too to be scouts and moving radars. I also suggest that we find out if they have a source or nest or main base of their own troops and fighters."

Ari nods before looking across to Nomi.

Nomi replies "we couldn't pick them up on scanners before but it should be possible to use our motion detectors along with your scanners.

if theres an area where movement is taking place and its not our forces which can be picked up by scanners then its obviously the enemy. we know theres no other life forms on the planet.

if motion detectors are also given to ground forces they can call in airstrikes once they've pin pointed the enemy"
