They we will take the Children and   Tenny up to the LC's breaffats  and get ready for th   Beach..or  we can  come back here. Disna  and Puskie will be here with the  new  female and Pup

"Willingly, my love. We're certainly safe with Mila and the largs around."

Henry let himself be led inside. He was very tired and had a bit of a headache.

Next Morning

Mila was up early and running around, making the most of being on a planet (as a dog, she didn't quibble about the differences between planets and moons!). Her Human was still asleep in the BU with His mate and son.

Some of the largs were waking and so was the bear, who had a liking for the water and bumbled down to the water's edge and caught a small fish in his claws for breakfast.

  The  largs  were getting to know  each others..  Thor seemed a bit jealous of   Rae, Gregory was used to it, having gone through it with Thor

   there were   vans coming from the Hotel, with Food scraps  from the Condos  and the Dinning n rooms  and Kitchens  of the   Hotel.

 rex  a had to get some 'interaction' from larry and Freddie.. the pups  and   Females  at  first Larry and Freddie  would eat last. It was larry's  way , to make certain the whole pack , got  strong.

<<<<<< from Condo

 people arrived.. It was a bit  further  to walk then The White Sands on  Fuji.. but it  looked  nice.. a massive  lage, to the south east of the  lake  where    people,

shadow and  Maddy chose  to  walk down, seeing how , it isn't very often then get to walk on  real  dirt and grass

 the other s   flowed  in , and several came  down in Vans..The   Vans  parked   like a wall , to shield  them from the areas  between them and the Hotel

------>>>>> From Condo

 Meari and Frakas got to the beach and Mearo set up and area saving some space for Tarja and her friend. Once they got settled she texted Tarja.

-------->>>>>>> From Condo

 NA-CE and Vaka walked down, she held his hand as they headed towards the beach. Once there she said," Where would you like to set up Vaka, and what do you think of my home?"

Vake Ponted to the   shore..Close to the Water>   we can   get water  and  sun

  Andruss and  Belle  were  set  up about  half  way, with   Conrad  and Bartlette there.

 NA-CE smiled and replied," Sounds great to me, that looks like a nice spot down there." NA-CE leads them to an area and she lats Vaka chose the spot. Once he chooses, NA-CE puts down her medical bag, which also had her Burian dagger and Angel Steel pulse sidearm in it.

 NA-CE then removed her covering to show off her Angel extremely, sexy one-piece bathing suit that showed off all of NA-CE's very nice curves.

Henry and Val emerged from the BU they'd been sleeping in as more people arrived. He didn't see the point in hauling up to the condos just for breakfast (but better not tell Mila that Shadow was cooking bacon...).

Can also emerged and ran down the shore to splash in the sea. Mila kept an eye on him even whilst playing with the largs.

Henry wandered down to observe how the largs were getting on.

 The Larg  splashed  around...Most of the,. It seemed  alike a pair  'took turns' as   the   have over  watched, before  being repalced   by  another  pair.


 The  Vans  arrive with all sorts of scraps from the two condos  and the   Hotel Kitchen.. and the  largs  scampered up  as Larry and freddie   made sure the  que  was set up.. Tess  and  Roe   dropped    bits of  meat  by there pups. Rae  was   eagerly  eating, Thor took his  time.. Gregor    had a big  bone and sat near them to eat, like he was their  Body  guard

  On the beach  people were claiming  sots.  Civies  who came  down for shore leave , mad choices of  sight  seeing or   the  Lake,

  Though  many of the   Crewman , had   eyes  that would   search around, from time to time, The Civies, never seemed  worried. To them,  The Crew of the ESN 351  Hermes was all around  them, why would they need to worry!


Shadow looked   to  Maddy ,sun first?  water  first?

...........

 Vaka looked at NA-CE.<Purple>you are  quite  alluring?... I think many Human types  are things  about you right now!</Purple

...........

 Frakas was  feeling Better, he   stretched his  4  arms  and felt the  sun on him...This is Most Pleasant... he said  as he looked at Meari,..and the Sun is nice, as well... a small grin
......

 Dusk had  walked with Roy as well.  For her,  walking on  a 'real ' planet, was a treat, after  being in passageways  or  Carrirstatons  so often.

Mila joined the largs as they congregated around the food.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Her Human picking up Boris the Bear and bringing him over too. She grabbed a choice morsel and trotted over to offer it to Boris.

  The bear-thing looked at the  food  and  sniffed it.. they took it  in  both fore paws  and began to  chew on his, His eyes  squeezed   i relish, as Bit of meat.

  Roll  can over  with  Halely, they were both dressed  for  playing on the beach..  Roll looked at the Largs that were  happily eating away. and he called  Milla  over.

 Mr  Shadow  sent this for you.. the largs  have some mixed in with all those other foods...  he  opened. what looked like  a shoe Box, that had a paper towel Lining and   contained a dozen strips of  cooked bacon.

 Me  an' Haley  arew gonna go spend  soem  time  with Nikki and the  others.. I'll be  back later to help   with the largs

Mila ran over to Roll when called. When he offered bacon, the dog literally drooled. Her tail wagged furiously and it did not require a chip-link to feel the delight coursing through her.

 NA-CE giggled and replied," Well thank you Vaka I am glad you like how I look. So shall we sit on the beach or hit the water for a bit Vaka?"

 Meari was happy Frakas was feeling better, Meari took off her covering and sat in the sun but kept her eyes open for Tarja and her new fried and new member of the AI. " We can sit in the sun till Tarja and the new trooper arrive."

Wearing a set of Coveralls,  runners and a fedora, Justin stepped off the transport. Moving to one side he glanced about taking in the scene.

Message to Meari:”on our way, maybe 5-10 mins, need to change”

---> Condo (about 5-10mins later)

With a canvas bag slung over one shoulder and a pair of sandals dangling from her hand Tarja would walk barefoot across the sand in the vague direction of the volleyball net, searching for any sign of Meari amongst all of the other people  currently on the beach.

 Meari was looking out for Tarja and she saw her with a large human. Meari stood up and waved Tarja over when they got close Meari said,You look awesome Tarja. Meari then held out her arm for a warriors arm shake, her long Purple hair flowing in the breeze.

 Sgt. Meari Udenese Commando 2nd of command of AI group. Meari had this cold computer voice.

Eventually Tarja would spot Meari waving to her and head over to join her, clasping her friends arm in a firm grip as she greeted ”you really think so? I was wondering if it was a little too revealing” Tarja quietly replied, though compared to some of the suits being worn hers was rather modest. On the subject of suits Tarja was able to fully appreciate her friend’s muscular physique and had it not been for the fact that Meari had a boyfriend and was her second in command she would have been sorely tempted to make a pass at the Udenese woman perhaps in another life.

Stepping to one side she would allow Rip to step forward and introduce himself should he choose to do so.

 Felrites  from the  walked the  beach, both sexes  had  grace.  they weren't as  crazy  about the water as most  crew..  Lirg  was talking to a pair of female  Hyrians,from one of the Drop ships , Lirg  looked  calm, the   females   tails  were  wagging.

  Beth  pranced up to  Shadow and  MaddyI'm setting up near you guys, that way  the  bottomfeeders  will stay away.

 Orria na d Runner were splashing around in the water.. other Stem Kids  where  set up  with   blankets   and  towels  laid out.

--From Condo--

Stepping out of the pod, wearing a black pair of tight trucks with gray piping, his muscular abs and thighs displayed with the many scars and tats that covered his body.  Wearing an unbuttoned Hawaiian style shirt, red with with palm trees, hanging from his shoulders.  The red tint sunglass covering his eyes, he pushed them up falling with a finger.

He saw the laid back pilot, Justin, stepping off a transport, giving the pilot a nod of his head in his direction in greeting.

But his eyes widen behind his glasses as he saw what Tar' was wearing.  Rip was known to be quiet, but the black bikini with red piping, showing off her muscular and very feminine body, left him speechless.  His jaw dropped, the glasses on his nose slide forward as he lean his head forward in a bit of shock.

He only would hope he didn't look like an idiot.  He gulped and worked his jaw, no words coming out.

Following Tar', wish she wore this earlier on the hike, he carried his bag at his side, trying his best to not sneak glances at Tar' with his eyes hiding behind his glasses.

A very tall, purple haired, muscular woman, whom made Rip feel small in comparison, came up to greet Tar'.  Meari it was.  Jack would cross his arms, bag in front of his abs as the two talked.  Rip sized the commando up,  knowing she like Tar' would easily plant his face into the ground.  He caught Udenese Commando team being brought up as she offered his arm in a warriors' greeting.

Reaching out, he gripped Meari's arm right before the elbow in a tight grip.  Shaking her arm, "Trooper Nate Charles.  But call me Rip."  He responded in a gravely voice, his eyes narrowed behind the glasses, but he held no disrespect for the commando.  "Pleased to meet you Sargent.   Tar' here has spoken highly of your skills, and calls you a friend.
I hope you can call me one."  So far so good.  He didn't want to embarrass Tar'.

  Frans, Eckles  and Mara  were  strutting   down the  shore line, a few guys following them.


  Belle  and Andruss  was  sitting  on a blanket, Andruss  was putting  lotion on her,

Shade  was sitting with Maria and  Magin, maygin looked better.

 Lyri came  down with Scarlett  they both  looked  good in one pieces,but walked  a bit slow from wounds.

 Meari took Rop's arm and gave a strong grip, she had fingers like vices. She went right up to just not really hurting him, and held it with a Nod and a smile to Nate." You are large for a human, and I am large for an Udenese woman, so we are even." She releases the vice grip and pats him on the back, Rip could tell there was a lot of power in Meari's arms.

 " Yes I like this one and it looks like he has been in some combat as well." Meari smiled at Tarja giving her a did anything happen look at her. Meari then introduced Frakas," Rip this is my warriorfriend Frakas. Frakas this is a friend of Tarja's, I cant wait to find out how close, and he wants to join the AI."

 Meari looked him over and said," Tarja he will need a special suit like mine, he is too big and wide for the basic model." Meari still had that cold metallic sounding voice as she talked. Meari then said," Rip you have a lot of scars, how good are you at hand to hand, if you have so many hits agaisnt you. I could show you some Udenese forms, that use power and strength to their advantage, you seem to fit that model." Still Meari seemed a little cold and she was definitely checking this Rip out to see if he was good enough to join the AI and possibly date her friend.
