Re: REC DEC # 10
entering the Rec Dec, Stefi approached Shadow's Table... As she neared Shadow's table,,, Shade and Giles hurried over to talk with her as well.
Stefi stopped by the table , her arms folded and a hip lean..Beth loked up from taking a fork full of salad, her eyes darting between the two.
Now what?
she pulled out her Vid board, Unrolled it and tossed it on the Table..Shadow looked..Beth peered as she shewed.. then covered her mouth as she tried not to laugh.
Ok. Stefi..help me out here..i don't see anything wrong...
You don't see anything Wrong???.. Cat COMed me from the Swallow.... she pointed that out..she was laughing... but wanted to make sure it was real.. I signed the damn thing!.. I can't say iI didn't notice!
still not seeing anything wrong here...
She put a finger nail on the screen Tapping it like a sub machine gun. Shadow read,,
..for use as a Dekta Colony Guard... Delta Colony worker...or Pleasure tech in the fleet.....
How!..How did you do this...
Shadow furrowed his brow.what? You kidding me... i wouldn't touch Med tech records...well..not unless it was Delta Night..but..
beth stood Up...hey!..Look! Sam is here.. I'm gonna talk with her... she went off with her bowl and drink
Shadow pushed the Vidboard back to Stefi....
Then Stefi's eyes got Big as she turned to watch Beth scurry away, she turned to Shadow...you told her to hack it!
Me? You're losing it!.. I wanted her to take the long walk home..I was demanding that..but i was refused at every step!..the whole , 'pleasure tech' thing was Just what i figure she was good for..and? lets face it..the clients would have to have certain tastes.
all the gods be damned , Shadow.. I'm gonna corner Beth when no one else is around... she'll tell me what the 9 hells happened..
Stefi grabbed the Vidboard, and Turned to see Giles and Shade standing there... they Both Smiled,, Giles went to say something and she said ,,NO!.. your insides aren't settled yet.. no Run today for you...
Your stressed, go see Arnie on the OB dec...
The watched her stride in anger towards the Lifts.. and sat down by Shadow...Shade bleeped a few times...
no , Buddy, I can't help Gile this time..she's right.. Rather have Giles miss one run , then miss the next jump off.
They looked at each other, then Both looked at Shadow..Shadow put down his fork and looked at them...lets go..get it over with....
well? LC? my...my passcode is still good in Med tech...... and...
Shade bleeped a few times, pointing at Giles injury, and then Both sat stock still as they stared at Shadow... only Shadow's eyes moved , from Giles to Shade and back.
so? you got in, giving Shade the full run of the Hermes Med tech files... do you know how big of a breech that is?
Giles Nodded...yes sir...
shade bleeped up a storm..pointing once more to Giles.
alright..Both of you.... he leaned forward and pointed a finger at each one, it seemed like the 'point' was enough to push them back into their seats.
starting 5 minutes ago.... you don't tell anyone about this, who doesn't have more shiny things on thier collar then me..Understood?
two emphatic nods...
now.. as funny as this is.. we can't go in and change crap like that , unless its for a Delta Night... and , Yes Shade, you are absolute right.. there are people who are injured and died , because we had to take the round about way to clear out that wreck..by , all the gods be damned..DON'T do it again, unless someone orders you to.
he snorted,who knows? she might end up a captain of her own 'Bunk and Body' ship.....Now get out of here, before i remember i'm supposed to be an Officer....
they stood up Both Saluted as they went to walk back to the 'young guns',Shadow said,and ..Guys?... good job....
the two grinned and Hurried off.
.........................
Beth came over, didn't ask as she sat between Foster's Wife and Steele..
Steele said,wow? Beth..You and Shadow have a fight, You'd never sit this close to me without..
Shut Up Steele...Stefi is on the warpath..someone added something to Lynch's Med tech recommendations..
Fitz almost choked on his beer,so? You hid here?
I didn't do it!...I mean..I wish i did, its funny as the whole of the 9 hells... 'pleasure tech' was added to her recommendations.
Howe , Foster and steele laughed Fitz watched Stefi storm off the Red Dec.
Foster's wife asked,a Pleasure Tech..is that a...
yes dear...only its an actual service rank on the Pleasure Ships.. Gambling, drinking... finding Partners..all kinds of weird stuff... we had to bring back two
tropers to the Mica who ..um..'overstayed' and that was before the pleasure ships
were added to the fleet...now they have Regs, officers and SEC like every other support vessel.
