Darien Wolfe Posted May 24, 2000 Report Posted May 24, 2000 Leaving the docked GCV-Blackstar, Darien Wolfe had made his way to the lounge, poring over some specs on a data-pad he slotted the offending item into his jacket and stepped in. The place was full of the usual crowd as he made his way to the bar, he nodded to the woman as he passed. "Double Whiskey." He ordered his drink and sat back in his stool. The bartender brought the drink to him and zipped off to serve another customer. He regarded the other for a moment and went back to his drink.------------------ CMDR DARIEN WOLFE ORION FLEET TSUNAMI BATTLE GROUP GCV - THE BLACKSTAR ICQ - 28445950
Blades Posted May 25, 2000 Report Posted May 25, 2000 More often than not, Fleet Commander Savage could be found in the Galcom Lounge on board the huge Orion Starstation. As usual, he could be found occupying a side table, sitting by himself reading through dull logistics reports from his eager Logistics Officer. However, this particular evening he wasnt draining a glass of whisky while thumbing the advance button on his datapad. Instead, he was eyeing up the newly promoted female Commander that had just joined his fleet.For the last few minutes, he'd watched her approach the robotic bartender, quietly request a drink of some sort (He couldnt be sure which, since his eyesight had started fading and was extreemly reluctant to listen to his doctor and have corrective surgery - Apparantly thats what happens when you get older) before breaking into conversation with his Logistics Officer.Mildly miffed that Cmdr Bosch was having a conversation with the beautiful Oriental woman instead of him, he reminded himself to have Greg forward the monthly requisitions meeting to the next morning, which would in all probability have the officer scurrying back to his office at Rockwell to prepare for it.Quickly, he made the call to Greg, asked to have the message relayed in about five minutes, then sat back and felt incredibly smug.Grinning evily to himself, and wondered what excuse he could come up with to meet her.You dont need an excuse, dumbass! said the irritating voice of common sense inside his head. You're the fleet commander, dammit! You own her!"Good point." Savage quietly said to himself, thumbing off the datapad he hadnt actually looked at this evening and got up from his table.

Akuma Minako Posted May 25, 2000 Author Report Posted May 25, 2000 [rp] Akuma yawned hugely and stretched. Turning from Bosch to scan the other men at the bar... All of them are men! Every single one of them! She sighed and gave Bosch a wink as she noticed one of the men standing up to leave. She knew his rank, Fleet Commander. This guy looks like a pushover! I'll be damned if I let this guy push me around. She stands and leaves her place at the bar giving Bosch a glance over her shoulder. "I'll be back in a minute! Just thought I'd introduce myself to the man in charge." She approaches Blades and stops right in front of him giving him a respectful bow. "Konbonwai Commander Savage." She smiles straightening. "That means good evening. I saw you leaving and thought I'd catch you on your way out. My name is Akuma Minako Commander of the GCV Tenchi." She suppresses a laugh at the name of her ship. "It's good to see you finally. And it's my pleasure to be aboard such a fine ship!"[rp] Just for you Japanese Illiterate people, Akuma is the Japanese word for Demon.

Darien Wolfe Posted May 25, 2000 Report Posted May 25, 2000 [rp]Darien watched this woman move towards Blades and smiled to himself, the Fleet Commander's little chat earlier had put a lot of things into perspective, now he was sure of his place and how he began to fit into the grand scheme of things.He saw them talking and chuckled softly, Blades was sure to be on form, hell they didn't call him "Blades" for nothing. There was nothing you could dislike about Savage, nothing at all. For one he'd never had cause to "chew out" Darien for anything. And for the other, in Darien's darkest moment, Savage had come forward and caught him before he hit the "Downward Spiral". The Universe was changing, his life was changing, hell, even Orion was changing. It scared him a little, but he was sure that somewhere in the maelstrom of this chaos would come some kind of order. He sank back the Whiskey and smiled to himself.It was good to be back on home ground again. He turned back to Akuma and Savage, attempting to catch the Fleet Commander's eye and nodded. Holding the data-pad, the Fleet Commander would know what was on that page.[/rp]------------------ CMDR DARIEN WOLFE ORION FLEET TSUNAMI BATTLE GROUP GCV - THE BLACKSTAR http://www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk ICQ - 28445950"There is a Storm Coming, a dark and terrible Storm."
Blades Posted June 8, 2000 Report Posted June 8, 2000 "Actually Commander," started Savage, addressing the beautiful Oriental woman at the bar. "I was on my way over to, ah, meet you."Savage flashed her a quick smile and put his empty glass on bar surface directly in front of the robotic bartender, deliberately leaning past Minako and keeping a steady lock on her eyes."Beautiful eyes you have there." said Savage, pulling away from her and resuming his previous stance."Uh, thank you sir." replied Minako, looking a little flustered. "You have, ah, a very strong jawline."Savage grinned and immediately brought his hand up to his chin. "Chisseled and rogueish, I like to think. They dont have my face plastered all over Orion PR posters for nothing you know."Savage grinned, hoping the Minako would understand that he wasnt taking it too seriously."Can I tempt you with another drink, perhaps?"------------------ F.C KARL 'BLADES' SAVAGE ORION FLEET COMMANDING OFFICER, ORION FLEET COMMANDER, ORION STATION T.B.G DAYWATCH COMMANDER TSUNAMI BATTLE GROUP GCV-TSUNAMI Ôäó www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk 'For Queen And Country'
Akuma Minako Posted June 8, 2000 Author Report Posted June 8, 2000 [rp]Smiling she speaks up. "If you insist. Make it a freshly squeezed orange juice pulp included." She smiles retaking her seat again. With a casual grace she looks directly at Blades. "Interesting," She begins, "are there any other women on this ship?" Interesting man I must say, maybe not a pushover after all...But I hope he realizes that I'm not one to get involved with... She looks at him. "You on your break sir...?"

Blades Posted June 8, 2000 Report Posted June 8, 2000 "Juice with pulp, huh? I've not had one of those in a lot of years."Savage nodded at the bartender bot and turned back to Minako and addressed her question. "Yes, Im Fleet Commander Savage, Space Adventurer extrordinare and boss on this here station. Pleased to meet you, commander."He extended his hand as he spoke, and was gratified when Minako accepted it and gently squeezed his hand.Damn, thought Savage, she has goooooood hands!Momentarily forgetting himself while he savoured the grasp, he noticed the womans left eyebrow shoot up and realised he had been holding on a tad longer than protocol insisted. Slightly embarissed, he was relieved when the tender bot returned with two freshly squezed glasses of orange juice, pulp included.Good call, thought Savage. Order the one drink in the universe you know without a doubt will make you hurl in under ten minutes.Shut up brain! Ordered the less reasonable portion of his mind. Im on the pull here, dont blow this for me!"So anyway," started Savage, taking a tentative sip from the pulp riddled glass and regretting it instantly. "You got your assignment details from, ah, commander Foss is your immediate C.O, isnt he?"Savages stomach complained before Minako could respond. He stiffled the urge to gag, but his discomfort became apparant to the younger officer."Mmmmmm, tasty." said Savage, quickly taking another sip.------------------ F.C KARL 'BLADES' SAVAGE ORION FLEET COMMANDING OFFICER, ORION FLEET COMMANDER, ORION STATION T.B.G DAYWATCH COMMANDER TSUNAMI BATTLE GROUP GCV-TSUNAMI Ôäó www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk 'For Queen And Country'
Guest Ron Wallin Posted June 8, 2000 Report Posted June 8, 2000 [rp]Akira sat quietly in the corner and let the sake warm his fingers. As most of the male species in this testosterone laced bar, he'd noticed the female the moment she'd entered. Unlike the rocket jocks in the Officer's Club, he wasn't affixed on her feminine qualities.He sipped slowly at the sake while his face remained masked by the shadows. The data pad on the table in front of him lightly chirped. Cmdr. Akuma Minako's visage slowly spun in it's box as her personal information scrolled accross the blue glow. The fact that a fellow Japanese had escaped his attention was rare. That she was in command of a BC made the chance encounter beyond the realm of coincidence.Akira flagged the file and watched as the woman flirted with the gaijin apes tripping over themselves. He'd meet her soon enough. For now, though, he had more important recruiting business to attend.Quietly, Akira stood and stepped past the rutting ball of juvenille posturing. He paused for a blink of an eye as he passed F.C. Savage. One flick of the rist and GALCOM would be without another headstrong leader. He resisted. That was not his mission.In the full light of the hallway Akira allowed himself a chuckle as he picked up the pace of his stride. If those blokes ever found out how many times I was in their presence... he thought. No one would or could. Akira's team produced the best personal covert technology in existence. Drunkards in the bar saw just another plain faced commander. He was in essence everyman and the discretion his equipment allowed served his purposes.We will talk soon, Minako, he thought. Timing is key though...------------------ Flt. Cmdr. Akira Spectre ICV-Nevermore Official Tester Battlecruiser Series

Akuma Minako Posted June 8, 2000 Author Report Posted June 8, 2000 Aww poor Blades! [rp] Smiling sweetly she nods. "Yeah, I'm with Commander Foss..." She smiles. "I haven't really gotten any real jobs yet, just getting settled in I suppose." Her eyes flash for a moment as if listening to somthing far away then they refocus on his face and take in his immediate discomfort with the drink. "You really didn't have to order the same drink Karl." Her hands flutter to her mouth. She'd made the same mistake EVERYWHERE she's been. Stupid! What the hell did you go and do that for! You know these guys are really hard on 'respect' and all that! Her mind raced for some way to cover up her mistake... The girl flushed deeply and tried desperatly to hide her distress. She calmly finishes off her drink and pushes a few credits in his direction. "For the drink." She says simply. Standing she makes he way quickly towards the door and made damn sure not to look back...[/rp] Heh, Poor Blades, you poor poor man! What are you gentlemen going to do?

Blades Posted June 9, 2000 Report Posted June 9, 2000 Savage raised an eyebrow. Karl ... Karl?He wasnt used to being addressed by his christian name, althouth a few select people had been allowed that privelige over the last few years. Most people seemed to know better, however. He didnt mind, of course, he prefered it in fact. The structured formality of the military always wound him up, but at the level of command he was now submerged in, demanded it.Still, it was nice to hear it all the same, espechailly comming from the woman in front of him.For a moment, he forgot his discomfort with the gross Orange juice pulp, and raised and flashed a pattented Blades smile at her. That was, of course, until she pushed forward her credit chit."You trying to embaris me, commander?" he asked her.With an ammused shake of her head, he gathered not."Then why are you trying to pay for the drinks? Dont you realise with command responsability comes privelages?"Savage pushed the chit back, and expanded his already beaming grin. ------------------ F.C KARL 'BLADES' SAVAGE ORION FLEET COMMANDING OFFICER, ORION FLEET COMMANDER, ORION STATION T.B.G DAYWATCH COMMANDER TSUNAMI BATTLE GROUP GCV-TSUNAMI Ôäó www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk 'For Queen And Country'
Akuma Minako Posted June 9, 2000 Author Report Posted June 9, 2000 [rp]Flushing hotly she takes the credits and stutters a thanks. "You...Don't mind?" She lowered her eyes to the ground her cheeks burning hotly. "I keep making that same mistake over and over agian! It just slips out and then I get yelled at!" She looks up at him. "You really don't mind?" Of course he dosen't mind! Duh! He's hitting on you! You're flirting again! Stop flirting Akuma! Akuma can you hear me? Her concience blared at her. She knew she was flirting, she couldn't help it! But that, and the mistake of addressing her last fleet commander by first name terms left her on a shuttle for home... "I'm really sorry Kar...Sir." She says quickly. Warning, warning! Akuma you KNOW you're not his type! You're not any man's type! Will ya knock it off?! She pushed the annoying, nagging voice into the back of her mind. "I know that...leave me alone!" She mutters then puts her head down on the bar table, rather ungracefully and very uncommander like. "So sir, how long have you been in command? And what dirt can you give me about Foss?"

Blades Posted June 9, 2000 Report Posted June 9, 2000 Savage regarded the woman with a curious glare. "You mean to tell me you havent read up your assignment details, history and key personel?"He awaited her answer, but after an almost uncomfortable silence, he interveined on her behalf."Ok, I been here since I was promoted to Fleet commander in late 3005. I used to be a lackey in Prime fleet until someone thought it was a good Idea to have someone come on board here and sort the fleet out. It was a mess when I first took over here, but that was a bit before your time. Well, it was a bit before you would have started command school, at least."Savage shook his head. "I dunno. I've been here forever it seems."Savage smiled at her, raised the vomitous pulp once again to his lips and said "Look pretty good for 45, dont I commander?"Savage obscured his own grin as he took another sip from the ever decreasing glass.------------------ F.C KARL 'BLADES' SAVAGE ORION FLEET COMMANDING OFFICER, ORION FLEET COMMANDER, ORION STATION T.B.G DAYWATCH COMMANDER TSUNAMI BATTLE GROUP GCV-TSUNAMI Ôäó www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk 'For Queen And Country'

She curses silently then gives him a smile. "Fourty five eh sir?" She grins. "Yeah, I thought you were more thirty or so, like myself." She looks up at the roof sweeping her eyes over the light fixtures. "Everyone keeps telling me how young I am." Akuma looks at him. "I've been the youngest all of my life, it really pisses me off!"

Blades Posted June 9, 2000 Report Posted June 9, 2000 Savage almost choked on his orange pulp at her sudden, and unexpected outbreak of profanity. Wiping the back of his hand accross his lips to remove a sliver of escaping juice, he raised an eyebrow as she asked her latest question."You really need to keep up with your mail, commander. For one, Im not married.""However," he continued with a wry smile.
