"So how long have you been on this ship," Teval asked Anastasia, as he gently brushed a purring Hakaya.
"I'd have to say its been around two years now." Anastasiya handed out another round of drinks.
"And you have been thoroughly corrupted huh."
"You could say that," She replied, as the door opened.
Outside the door stood a fighter pilot wearing his flight suit and some of his gear. "Hey guys." he commented with a smile. "What am I interrupting...what are you having?"
Everyone in the room looked at the new arrival. Anastasiya waved at him and said," Oh hi there new guy," as she offered him a glass. "Don't worry, its not strong, just tastes good."
Fives smiled as he entered the office, he accepted the offered glass. "Cheers.." he then sipped the drink. "I'm Fives, one of the new Wing Commanders..." he then indicated the crane. "So... whats with the human Christmas tree?" he inquired. "I'm curious though..."
Hakaya, still purring, answered," Oh the guy was being an ass to one of my techs, so I had Varkon tie him to the crane until he learns some manners."
Fives chuckled as he took an empty seat. "Indeed.." he responded. "who is he anyway... so I know who to yell at later?"
Whitepaw took a look at the roster, and taking a moment to find his name, he said," He is in the first wing, 3rd squadron, number 4 pilot, so i think he is yours."
"So he's one of mine eh?. Okay..." Fives responded. "How long were you gonna keep him for?" he then polished off his drink.
"Until he learns some manners," Hakaya mentioned," Of course, since he is one of your guys, I'll happily defer the decision to you if you want."
Fives smiled. "Keep him until you guys feel he's learned his lesson." he commented. "If my guys fuck up.. I want them to cringe in fear..."
"OK," was Hakaya's simple response.
Anastasiya leaned back in her chair, saying," So what did you do to end up on this ship."
"I didn't really do anything... I wanted off of the Starbase and I said any ship available." he explained. "Let me guess.. this is the unwanted bastard child of the fleet?" he inquired.
"Like the flying Dutchman of the fleet."
Fives smiled. "Me thinks I could not die any place. so contented as in the company of my brothers and sisters.." he commented. "When I get done with these pilots, I will have them shipshape and bristol fashion."
"Eh, good luck with that," Whitetail commented as he took another sip. "Oh, and by the way, your CAG, she is on the insane side."
Fives chuckled. "Oh, you mean Phoenix. Yeah she's insane but she's a good leader." he commented. "you guys got more of those drinks?" he inquired with a smile.
Just then there was a knock at the door.
Anastasiya went to go get another round of drinks, while Teval simply said," Yeah you can come in."
The door opened and in came Commander Torilla Yamaguchi, she smiled as she looked at the various people in the room. "Hey guys. is there pace for me?" she inquired. "I'm hiding from my duties elsewhere... not like there is a lot to hide from but that's beside the point." she added with a cheerful smile.
"Commander." Fives greeted her as he gently gave her a hug. "Holy shit its good to see you again."
"Fives... " Torilla's eyes sparkled as she said it.
"I had heard you were lurking here." Fives commented.
"I didn't think you were assigned here." Yamaguchi admitted. "So... who else from the insane asylum is in here..." Yamaguchi inquired
These two have been here a while," Toval motioned to Whitetail and Anastasiya, but the rest of os are new, but we have already met anyway."
Torilla selected a chair for herself as she sat down, she then noticed that what she had assumed was a piece of wall decoration suddenly was a living, breathing person as she blinked. "What are you??"
Fives too, had also only just noticed him. "Who's that?" he indicated the massive guy in the corner.
"Im Varkon," was all that the massive Brikar said.
Torilla smiled. "Varkon... the guy who nobody screws with..." she commented. "I assume your the one I have to thank for the floating Christmas tree." she indicated the guy hanging from the crane. "I'm betting there is a story behind that... Would someone mind sharing because... I admit, the curiosity is killing me."
Fives chuckled softly but said nothing, before he sipped his drink, clearly he wanted the story as well.
Hakaya this time, explained fully," Well, the guy was yelling at one of my maintenance techs, doing his weekly maintenance to the fighter, and he comes in screaming at the tech for something like, the tech wasn't addressing him properly and was messing up his fighter or something like that, and that caught my attention, so I went down there to see what the issue was. The guy decided to be an ass, called me a raccon and then kept yelling the guy."
Hakaya picked up her tazer stick and showed it to them," So what i did is I whacked him in the knee and the stomach with this, then zapped him in the neck. He still decided to be rude so I had Varkon chain him to the lift crane until he decided to learn some manners."
Whitetail then interjected," Occasionally when we get a new pilot with a big ego, they come in trying to assert their dominance over the maintenance crews, and will yell at them for the stupidest things."
Whitetail then looked at Hakaya and mentioned," But Hakaya here is nice compared to Anastasiya."
Torilla blinked. "Wait... he was yelling at the maintenance tech because the guy didn't bow before him or something like that?" she looked confused. "he didn't say sir respectfully enough?" she looked somewhere between shocked and angry. "Well.. you won't hear any complaining from me." she added.
Fives nodded. "I need to explain how things work to my guys anyway"
Torilla blinked. "Wait...is that a cattle prod?"
Hakaya looked at it and the replied," Well got it from my days as an MP, I guess that's what it is."
Yamaguchi smiled. "Hey, if it works... then don't let me stop you." she responded. "so... does the establishment have anyting none alcoholic?" she inquired. "I'm pregnant so... no drinking for me."
"Yeah i got something for you," As Anastasiya went to the minibar in her office to retrieve a drink, she came back with a non-alcoholic drink and gave it to Torilla."
Torilla smiled. "Cheers... " and with that he took a mouthful of the drink, it was yellowy orange in color and it tasted sweet, she shrugged as she decided it was good. "Thanks." she commented.
Fives meanwhile sipped his drink. "I do hate to cut the party short but I need to go get the roster and gather my guys so I can tear then several new ones..." and with that he rose to his feet. "Have we not heard the chimes of midnight?" before he walked out the door.
