Shona  watched the little   creature  eating the  meat, it was almost finished, It kept looking around  as  it ate, like it was  waiting for somehting to try and take it from  it.

 well.. Doc  Herny?  he is  really into his work... I am sure  anything you could teach him?... I mean.. you guys  have a Lonnox?.... we have Largs  and a dog..now that Cat things?..and all these creatures...I'm surprised  he  didn't  come up with one of those  Tar things.

Zob shook his head, "Those tar monsters are seriously one of the strangest things I've seen in the black... as for the Lonnox it's my wife's animal I don't know a thing about them otherwise"

  ..I saw the Lonnox  a few times in Doc henry's   offcie ..it used to stay there alot? Some how Melia  ended up with it.. It does get  protective..i think it was involved  with a boarding incident  when   demons  got into the   lab offcie area.

Zob checked the time, "I should go I need to check in a few more places today, thanks for chatting I'll see you around" with that said he gave her a smile and headed off toward the rec dec.

-----> to rec dec

(After going to collect Frost not exactly in the best of shape)

Zob had arrived with Frost in handcuffs and completely disarmed as guards began to move on him he showed them the black card, "All three of you take a break... this wont take long" When they vacated the area Zob kicked out the back of Frosts knees causing a loud sharp crack as the knees fractured, "So you think it fun to drug and rape women you traitor... you are lucky it's me doing this and not them... I'm a lot more merciful"

Zob with a iron grip then broke both arms with pathetic ease causing Frost to cry out in agony as the bones in his arms turned effectively into powder, "I could flay the flesh from your bones and drink the blood from your skull but you... aren't worth dragging it out so i decided you can have the honor of going out with a bang... would you like that Frost?" He then pulled out some industrial grade flex tape and a small shaped charge he then approached the wide eyed Frost, "Open up..." after forcing open his jaw he placed the shape charge in his mouth then sealed it with the flex seal tape before taking him over to the Static field, "I better not find you in the hells Frost cause when i get there ill torture you for the rest of eternity"

Then with no effort Zob tossed Frost out of the static field like taking out the trash before pulling up a crate from his left side and took a seat pulling out a smokewood cigar and lighting it up and taking a long drag off of it, once Frost was a safe distance away Zob pressed the button on the detonator and with a small flash the body of Frost was nothing but bloody mist.

(from previous post in SEC)

Jug and the trooper with her walked to the hold area and the posted guard there "Order from Nagy you are relieved from post.  Check with him before leaving SEC shift" she informed them then they would exchange places.
Bog stood guard at front area of SEC awaiting any other orders.

 The two  rookie  guards  smile d  and saluted, runnignoff  to  SEC to check in and the  get shore leave.

 The Hold  was   quiet enough.. the  animals in  in henry's  zoo walking  about... the  stars  still as they loked out the  static  field... two  Civies  who worked the hold  waiting for a  Big ugly to dock with   foods and such for the  rec dec and  stroage.

With her once again not really knowing what she was supposed to be doing, Harry would quietly wait until Jug had relieved the other troopers from duty before walking off in the opposite direction, figuring she'd take a slow walk around the hold and that if she found anything suspicious would call it in, though with most of the crew on shore leave or the survival run she didn't think there would be anything for her to find.

Jug let Harry wander the hall of the hold as Jug commed to the front desk about taking command in the hold and obligated comm check.  "Lippen...Bog can take command of the other Gava there.  It is best to have them on a patrol or they could become aggitated with no movement" she gave a recommendation.  Last thing she wanted was a group of Gava with critical level of pent up energy.

  LT Jug?   CPL Nagy says  , that's fine, and to make sure   trooper  Lynch doesn't sneak off  somewhere to sleep...Have  fun down there...

"She is walking a patrol at moment.  If she not back in 5 I call in and go find.  I not think she shirk duty" she spoke positively of the human ensign.

Harry would slowly make her way down the portside of the hold, pausing every now and again to  peer into some of the animal enclosures to see what they held "So...what's fun around here?" she asked a pair of small furry creatures that were currently napping, their tiny ears twitching at the sound of her voice "Thought as much" she sighed before continuing on her way. Having found no conveniently placed explosives with a big red wire for her to cut or a secret EDT meeting for her to stumble upon, Harry would eventually circle around the end of the hold and walk up the starboard side back towards the door through which she'd originally entered, just in case the secret EDT meeting was running a little late.

Jug nodded at Lynch as she returned.  As far as Jug knew Lynch was not happy about the Gava being there.  Still no reason for Jug to dislike her, many did not care for Gava>  Several minutes after Lynchs walk Jug made one.  She also checked on the on load/ off load area to make sure no one by passed securities protocol and either sneak something on or off that was not supposed to.  Only when satisfied returned to posting area.

Perhaps sensing that she didn't like them and still blamed them for the part they'd played in her sisters death, the Gava would head out on patrol not long after Harry had returned to the door. She wasn't going to be unpleasant to them or go looking for ways to make life difficult for them but she had not intention of burying the hatchet anytime soon either.

Adopting an At ease stance, Harry would stand by the door uncertain as to whether she was supposed to be keeping people in or out of the hold, or simply to look official and take note of anyone that did go through the door. Either way she would remain by the door in a semi-alert state until she was finally relieved from duty and allowed to begin her shore leave.

  The  Mind Numbing wait  as dry goods  and food stuff  arrived, big Uglies  sending thier    tunnels  across. Civie  hold workers securing the  tunnel  and  beginning the unloading .

   The foreman    steps up to Harry,..I sent  word to SEC.. we're  done with  loading... you guys  can catch the Last 2  1/2  Hours  of shore Nagy...

 as if  summoned, Nagy  COMs  Jug and Harry...LT Jug...Lnych.. Come on up... if you guys want shore  leave,  get to the offcie. scan in .. i'm holding a shuttle for you... should have  a bit over  2 hours before recall.

As she was approached a large man dressed in the overalls of one of the civilian contractors responsible for supplying the ship, she wold offer him a polite if weary smile, raising her hand ever so slightly so he wouldn't get too close to her. One of the advantages of being a criminal was that she knew a fair number of the tricks they used such as wearing branded clothing to sneak around unnoticed or to gain the trust of someone long enough to quietly knife them. On this occasion the guy was just a civilian going about his job and letting her know that they were done "Thank you that's most kind of you, enjoy the rest of your day" she said in a friendly voice before then answering Nagy's comms "roger that, I'll be up in a few" she replied before heading back to SEC with the Gava.

(( from  Funnel after station died)

  The group entered the Hold 21 officers  were on the  floor  eating out of  Ration packs. A human colonel stood up, two Rookie  troopers  aimed thier  weapons at him as he held out  a pasta pack....this food  is  not  fit to eat!...

 Pasta?  you don't like Pasta.?  You really are  following the Empire.. lets see that..

 Shadow took the pack  and  tossed it out the   static  field.....there.. all better.. don't worry  we have   your last meal in mind for you all...

 He motioned  for those  who came down with him.....Strap feng to that table....

 then he   looked  at the   gathering of  officers.. 2  captains, all  the rest where higher, but below the rank of General or Admiral.. One , was a Sanri in EDT Black...You?.. The hermes saved   the very first Sanri , who were sent to contact us... and here you are, likcing the Empire's Backside  clean..

 The Sanri growled,I could tear you limb from limb....

 ..no you couldn't.. 4 Sanri tried.. the two who wanted to kill me for real, Died.. Two of our own that wanted to 'regain thier  Honor. suffered  major wounds... so..no...

 Now, you all stand there  real nice, while we watch a show , My lovely assistant  and her helpers are about to show  The Whole of the Black..its  a re-run, but i hear the Empire likes it.. so... Ladies?...

 The officers  stood in Line. The Admiral Had asked  Shadow what he had in mind..he  had  ok-ed it, with a bit of a smile.

 The Vid  started...This is  the Late Admiral Wess's  Late wife...this was when the SSN tested our resolve, and lost, at the Battle fo the passage....Now..we see Captain Wess, herself preparing  a  child  for a Loyalty feast.. two  more  are in that crate..scared, knowing that they will be next... we couldn't save this one, the other
 two were saved though... all the officers..every one..died..one way or the others....The SSN uniform  is now , more sickening, then that of the Empire...

 The watched  , the  Sanri shouted...you cannot make us  stand here  and watch!...

 Right now... I can make you do anydamn thing  i want..and you'll do it. or you'll die one of the  worst deaths any traitor   could ever  imagine...

 Larry  Growled  showing rows  of  jagged teeth.

 hw walked down the Line, he stopped at  the women in the group...whadda ya think the   Empire  would do with  female prisoners, such as yourself...

 they looked at  each other, one woman dropped to the Dec.....get her up.. i do not care how...

 meanwhile the Vid played... Cora  and Ellen Helping   Beth with the SSN feeds, while  Cora  'narrated '  here  and there.. the wails of the child, the screams, were odd compared to the smilign faces and   banter from the Bridge  Officers of  The New York, as  Qer La Cal chatted with them as they ate...a good  10 minutes it  took..before the child's  cries   ended.. but the officers  continued to eat, joke and  drink..Qer La Cal, looked  proud.

Zob was off to the side after helping strap Feng to the table as to not get in the way of others if he was needed they would let him know so for the time being he lit up a smokewood cigar and took a drag off of it before glancing over to the vid and seeing Qer there only made it worse he had a long history of bad blood with her.

 Meari walked in she looked at the Empire troops, they where all Empire now, she shook her head then smiled at Feng. Meari just watched the video and it made her so mad they could let someone suffer like that, Meari wanted to slice all of them apart limb by limb. She understood the Demons and other older Empire races, but humans eating their own it just made her disgusted and her fists clinched.

 When the woman falls figuring she was female she moved over and lifted the woman to her feet, and she wasnt being nice about it. She smiled at the LC and hoped it was ok she showed up a little late.

 The troopers   and those who came down did not like to see, and hear the Vid. Shadow's  jaws worked in his  closed  mouth smile as he walked  around Feng, then walked  down the line, not at all concerned , the officers weren't  tied or chained.

 A Major looked to him, her green eyes  stared hard,so?  this is to make  us  feel badly" We all did  what we had to  do.. to make certain...

 The LC's hand came up in front of her face to stop her.....that you would move up  the ladder... The screams of a scared child  as  he or she  suffered   and dies, so you could gain rank?... I hate the  Empire?.. I hat the EDT  and the  SSN, I hate the  Chinese Empire, the Oil Lords  and the Eastern Bloc...but this stuff you do with kids?..how mindless  do you have to be..and how heartless.. look around..

 His Hand  shot out  and he grabbed the woman's   jaw  and twisted her head abck and forth.. the Sanri when to move..  But  Shoey racked up  is  SMG...

 LOOK!...at my Officers...LOOK..at my people..you see thier  eyes, tears  welling  up or streaming down....we have saved  kids like this..alot of them, but no near enough he pushed her  roughly , back in line.. she glared with all the hate in the world , at him.

 I don't  believe in gods?.... I believe in luck, and i believe in myself..and my ship mates..when we  find someone who does not fit into the machine.  we find, other places for them to be..its  a Balance, or sorts... The good folk of The Black  has  the ESN and the APF... the  bad folks of the Black have The Empire  and all the cowards  who bow before them.... The bad  Guys   have the  EDT...and the good guys Have  Lights out.....and the Good guys...have me....I set the balence  to tilt in favor of our way...it seems...perhaps i do not understand the loyality   feast>. so.. we are Gonna show
 Qer La Cal.... The whole of the Black..and  anyone who lost a kid  to those dinners, who things should be done..aye?   and you all can tell me , how well i did...

  He Holds up his  Sanri Blaster...Everyone knows what this is...right?..you should, you're  all gods be damned officers...IF..you fail to  follow  my Orders.. I will blow off a arm or a leg, and we will force you to do what i want you to do ourselves.. Now?... If you are good  Little boys  and girls.. you just might get  the 9 hells out of here in one piece....

 Shadow Points the feng.....Strip him.... he turned to the officers.....and everyone of you strip..except  for your Hat, this  way  the folks around the Black will know  what rank you are  in  such.

 a Colonel said,I WILL NOT!..I... Shadow's Blaster  went off , taking the man's  leg off  at the ankle...

 Larry....

 The larg went over  and  scooped up the man's  foot and such, crunched it before his eyes    and spit out some cloth..

 Plst the stump, strip him, get a chair for him...

 The officers, including the  Sanri began to underess.. Qer La Cal came into focus...

 Hack!..what is this!

 Hack smiled a dark smile...Shadow, with the aid of your officers, are going to explain how the loyalty feasts work... of all all people, Shadow and a few of his friends, have, broken up a few of  these  dinners

 all  the these officers  should be exchanged

 For what?.... No Qer La Cal..we stopped doing that years ago... i find it better just to kill vermin off then to let the   propagate..

 why are my people undressing?

 my fault realy?   don't understand it  all..now..let's get this started.. we have qer  la cal on the screen. and we got all the  hungry officers  here...and
 we have the main course...

 Shadow pulls   the  hover  card   for  Qer La cal to see with Feng  trying to get loose, Shadow  rips the tape off his mouth.....You can't do this... you are Mad... what kind of beast...

 ..eats Kids? he points to  feng who was ';feet first' to qer La Cal.. he motions  for the  officer  to form a semi Circle... Cora   lookign at the footage of  Mrs Wess's  feast.. having  people palced  here and there...

 Shadow nodded to a trooper who handed  each officer  a steak knife and fork...Feng was  screaming for them not to do this...begging the officers...

 Very Good... Fengy.. your voice is a little stronger then some helpless kid..but you're playing your part well...

  feng screamed and struggled...Shadow  says...begin your feastt...or?... you'll take his place... Feng was near Mindless, he looked up and hude poepl with   knives and  forks,, he started to cry as he begged..

  The female Major  said...I cannot...

  Shadow  grabbed her  by the HAir  and  pulled her  down  towards  Feng's chest.....you took slcies off a screaming child.. you damn well can to it to him, one traitor  eating another...That would be damn good  Karma....

 The Sanri  grabbed  Shadow,  the lower left  arm brought the  knife  around, and Shadow  caught it...and smiled..as the Sanri looked at him.....you've grown  soft Mr  Sanri... you should have been able to kill me... Larry!

 The Sanri  screamed  as  larry  took off his  lower left leg..Drag him near the  static field, eat him slow...

 The Larrg  crunched off  an   arm, then  pulled the  screaming  Sanri to the static  field.., the sounds of screams  and crunches   were loud, and sickening as  bite by bite the sanri lost a  limb..

 The LC loked at the other Officers Well!..Dig in!

 the officers  did  just that, slicing of  bits of  Feng meat, he cried  and screamed.  the  offciers  tried to eat and  Gagged, Shadow forced them to eat more...


 he looked at the CAM CE-VA had set up...Now?.. of course.. the officers  don't normally  eat thier  feast naked?.. but i thought it only fair..you know...Now  tell me..Qer? is this  god? I mean i don't have dessert here, or  any fine wines..but..does it work

 The Demoness loked shocked as the smiling face of  Shadow  as her officer's kept slicing bits off the  screaming, begging, crying man.

 Now?  all you EDT, EVOLs and  SSN scumbags... this is what  you just might be in for, should you chose to  fight us..and?  we have ship loads of Largs , and Worts who would gladly much down on traitors...but if you are  a Captain and above... I'll make certain your death is the most hideous , painful, thing i can come up with... Wait hang on..ok?

 HEY FENG!.... THE PEOPLE WABT TO KNOW IF THIS IS PAINFUL...CAN YOU HELP ME OUT HERE?

 he screamed  and  tried to break the  straps, he was  covered  and blood, the officers had  blood  dripping down thier chests, some of them cried  as well...

 Shadow turned back...ahh... well...I mean? it looks like it hurts?  Am i right?... I'll shut up now  and let the poeple at home enjoy the show, so slavers and SSN  folks and such can see what is going to happen to them

 the  ordeal only lasted another  10 minutes.. for Feng, it was a life time..

 when it was over.. Shadow had the feed cut.. the officers  , some looked sick ,had thier   untensils  taken from them.

 Shadow smiled a warm smile ...good  dinner huh?..yeah.. Chinese food.. few hours later your hungry again.right?

 I want to thank you al for ehlping  me show   The Balck, just what kind  of people you are he whistled...

 Disna, Puskie and the  Largs  came  in, except  for the  Largs in the Lab.Now..... my promise was you could leave here..here is your choice, Run out that static field, or face the  largs..

 He  Nodded to Puskie  who whistled   and the Largs  shot  forward... they tore into the  Officers,  and more screams were  heard , along with  crunching  and slurping.

 Thank you all for attending... I'm sure the message is sent.. it will make the fear  us..maybe it will make then, not 'sigh up'..or maybe it wil make the fight more desperatly... for me?... I just needed to do Karma's job again..now..gotta get a shower  so   i can be ready for the After  PArty

 The  Officers were getting 'cleaned up  by the  largs, thier uniforms  were  collected  to send to  the QM

 Shadow  went to his quarters. Shade  Followed   . larry stayed helping  clean up scraps

Zob watched as Qer's feed was cut and the officers were being feasted on by the Larg's, once Shadow cleared out he remained for a bit longer. A few moments went by and Zob took the opportunity to stare out the static field taking the last final drags off his smokewood cigar before tossing it out the static field into the cold dark black, "It was never like this..." he said with a sadness in his voice, the old guard he knew were never like this they were warriors not child eating abominations he cursed Qer for turning his people down this path.

 Meari watched and helped out when needed, she smiled at Feng and said ," Hmm I told you it was going to be bad now you will know how it feels."  She will watch as they eat Feng and she seemed very happy at how the LC went about this. She was about to help Shadow when Larry got the Sanri and took him away to eat.

 When it was all done she smiled and helped clean up, Meari then spit on what was left of Feng and left heading to her quarters.

  The Pirloc flapped around as  Zob walked by. The animals  had smelled the blood  and heard the screams, the  more ...docile  animals hit.. the  'hunters" were pressing against the   glass.

Zob stopped as he passed the Pirlocs cage and went over to it to look at the creature, "You smell the blood don't you... would you like a treat?" He asked the creature it was a strange connection from one predator to another.

 the small Pirloc,   flapped its wings and chirped and danced on a 'limb' they had set up for it.
