Estra - Shel | Adam - Adam
Estra Stoneringer: Exhausted, Estra fell quickly asleep
against Adam's shoulder.
Adam Lyons: -=silently reads a magazine that was nearby content on
being the pillow=-
Estra Stoneringer: Roughly an hour later, Estra's comm
beeped, causing the girl to sit up, instantly awake. "C>Stoneringer"
Kandai Senshu: C> Senshu here - you can come for
your debriefing now. If you've run into Lt. Lyons, bring him as well.
Estra Stoneringer: She nodded, then realised he couldn't
see it. "C>Yes sir. We'll be right there."
Estra Stoneringer: Clicking off her comm, she stuck it
in her pocket and looked apologetically at Adam.
Adam Lyons: -=looks at Estra=- Debriefing?
Estra Stoneringer: She nodded.
Adam Lyons: You by yourself or am I invited?
Estra Stoneringer: She frowned slightly, "You're invited
along." She shrugged, "I'm not certain why."
Adam Lyons: Maybe results from my snoopscoot run, they've never told
me about it, but I get the feeling that Hobbie and a couple of others know.
-=shrugs=-
Estra Stoneringer: She stood, then, smoothing her Imperial
uniform distastefully.
Estra Stoneringer: "mayhaps."
Adam Lyons: -=nods and stands up=- Ready?
Estra Stoneringer: She nodded. Then started moving toward
Senshu's office.
Adam Lyons: -=follows Estra=-
Estra Stoneringer: They got there soonly, and entered
with a quick knock on the door.
Kandai Senshu: Senshu looked up and smiled, motioning
them to be seated. "I see you found each other," his eyes were twinkling.
Adam Lyons: -=grins=- She found me, without me know it was her.
Kandai Senshu: He chuckled, "Be that as it may -
I'd like you to sit in on this, it'd be easier than having to repeat the
information that you will need for your sims."
Adam Lyons: -=nods=- Yes it would. Do you have a datapad of the information
so I'll be able to immediately modify the fighters that are currently being
used for the Invisable fighters?
Kandai Senshu: "You'll be hearing it the same time
As I do. Just take notes you need, I'm sure if you need more information,
Estra can give it to you at a later time."
Adam Lyons: -=nods=- Ok, thank you, -=turns on his datapad to take
plenty of notes.
Adam Lyons: =-
Kandai Senshu:: "Estra,
you may begin any time you're ready."
Estra Stoneringer: She nodded, "Yes Sir." Then, she
rattled off specifications for the fighter, the information on how they
used Comm waves to trigger
Estra Stoneringer: destruct sequences in directed fighters.
She rattled off, from memory, the signals used, and the exact numerical
values imperative for the sucess of their unique assault efforts.
Adam Lyons: -=taking plenty of notes all the while=-
Estra Stoneringer: Finally she finished, after twenty
minutes of continuing speech. "Unless we can figure out a jamming frequency
that will allow the New Republic fighters to remain in contact with each
other,
Estra Stoneringer: and a way to detect the fighter from
the information I've gotten..." she let the statement hang.
Adam Lyons: -=nods and ponders=- There might be a way...do the fighters
have lasers in case their comm weapons fail?
Estra Stoneringer: "Yes."
Adam Lyons: -=nods again=- I won't be able to find a way until I setup
the fighters in the sim and speak with Mrs. Klivian to see if she can come
up with something...
Kandai
Senshu: "I hope you can, Adam. Unfortunately,"
Senshu sighed, "The snoop-scoot mission you went on not long ago came
up nil. So, t his is all the information we have."
Adam Lyons: -=mutters=- Sith, all that for nothing. -=frowns=-
Estra Stoneringer: Estra's expression saddened, she'd
seen the debacle that had become of that mission, and was sad to hear this
information.
Kandai Senshu: "I'm sorry. we had no way of knowing.
Are there any questions?"
Estra Stoneringer: Estra raised a hand, at his nod she
spoke, "When can I be myself again?"
Adam Lyons: -=chuckles=-
Kandai Senshu: He
chuckled, "Wheneveryou wish, you can go down and get your hair back and
the tatooes removed. Unfortunately the vocal implant will remain, though
through electrical impulse, you will regain your original voice."
Estra Stoneringer: she seemed to sag with relief. "Thank
you."
Adam Lyons: -=raises his hand=-
Kandai Senshu: "Yes?"
Adam Lyons: This is more of a question for Estra, do either you or
Face have a datapad of all that information because I got about half of
that and I'll need one of you to describe to me what it looked like so
I can have as accurate a sim as
Adam Lyons: possible.
Adam Lyons: Or will you be my datapad Estra?
Estra Stoneringer: She bit her lip, "Uhm, there is no
datapad...."
Estra Stoneringer: ((LOL))
Estra Stoneringer: She smiled slightly, "I can enter all
the information for you, if you want."
Adam Lyons: -=grins=- Fine by me.
Estra Stoneringer: Sh nodded.
Kandai Senshu: "Well, if there's nothing else, you
two be on your way."
Adam Lyons: -=grins and stands up, salutes Senshu
Adam Lyons: =-
Estra Stoneringer: She stood, "Thank you," she said with
a slight smile. Then she walked out of the room.
Estra Stoneringer: Once Adam'd left as well, and the
door closed, she leaned back against the wall with a long, drawn out sigh.
Adam Lyons: -=looks at Estra curiously=- You ok?
Estra Stoneringer: She opened her eyes and nodded, "Yes.
Just glad it's over - and worried aobut when it starts all over again."
Adam Lyons: -=nods=- Well its not over yet as far as I'm concerned...would
you rather get some rest, then when you're awake and refreshed put in the
information about the fighters or put in the info now, then sleep?
Estra Stoneringer: "I'm awake right now, Let me give
you all the info you need so you can get started, then I can go and get
my Self back." She held a hand out for his datapad.
Adam Lyons: -=gives her his datapad and nods=- Yeah I'll be glad when
you get your Self back also.
Estra Stoneringer: She smiled, slightly blushing, as she
began entering the full amount of information while walking back to the
alcove they'd been earlier so she could sit.
Adam Lyons: -=follows Estra quietly=-
Estra Stoneringer: She found the alcove empty and sat
back where she'd been, tucking both feet up underneath herself as she worked
at entering everything as accurately as possible.
Estra Stoneringer: Which wasn't a difficult thingwith
her perfect memory. She was so engrossed, she didn't notice that she reverted
and simply blinked with her inner eyelid, that she wouldn't have to stop
looking at the datapad for even a moment as h
Estra Stoneringer: er fingers flew while entering the
information.
Adam Lyons: -=sits down next to her thinking quietly on possible jammer
possibilities=-
Estra Stoneringer: Finally, she finished, "Done," she
handed the datapad back to Adam, then gasped and covered her eyes with
her hands as she realised she'd just blinked... and hadn't lost sight of
him for a moment.
Estra Stoneringer: "I... Uhm,... I have to go," she almost
squealed as she got up and dashed from the alcove.
Adam Lyons: -=gets up quickly=- Hey! It's okay, it doesn't bother
me.
Estra Stoneringer: Three metres from him she stopped,
but didn't turn, hugging herself. "It doesn't?"
Adam Lyons: No, not at all. -=shrugs=- It's interesting but I really
care more about personality than looks. Beauty's just a bonus to me.
Estra Stoneringer: "you... don't think I'm a freak?" she
said quietly, her back still turned to him.
Adam Lyons: -=grins=- No, not at all. I care about you, a lot, just
because you have a second set of eyelids doesn't change it at all.
Estra Stoneringer: "You don't care that i'm a half-bred
alien freak?" she asked bitterly, perfect memories pushing themselves to
the
Estra Stoneringer: foreground as she still refused to
turn and look at him. *Why didn't I just keep running?* she asked herself.
Adam Lyons: Nope, I don't think you're a freak. Were you picked on
because of that?
Estra Stoneringer: She nodded, her dyed black hair tumbling
down her back.
Adam Lyons: -=sighs and walks up to Estra=- Look, it'll be ok, I'm
here for you...-=sighs to himself and shakes his head=- I just don't know
what to say to make you feel better.
Estra Stoneringer: Estra, being a female, and a teenaged
one (though barely still) at that - did what any female would do in an
emotion wracked situation such as this.
Estra Stoneringer: She turned to Adam, searching his
eyes for confirmation that he indeed didn't hate her, then fell into his
arms and began to cry on his shoulder.
Estra Stoneringer: "Thank you," she whispered through
her tears.
Adam Lyons: -=hugs a little tighter=- You're welcome.
Estra Stoneringer: After a short time, her tears subsited
and she stepped away from him, wiping at her eyes, "Sorry," she mumbled.
"I cry too easy."
Adam Lyons: -=smiles=- Aww, it's ok, sometimes it's better than bottling
it all up.
Estra Stoneringer: She let out a shuddering sigh as she
nodded, finished with drying her face. "I, uhm... I think I'll go get back
to being Estra, now...."
Adam Lyons: -=grins=- Ok, I'll get the data uploaded into the system
and if you want to meet somewhere afterwards or just to take you home -=shrug=-
just comm me.
Estra Stoneringer: She nodded, "I will." With a half
flashed smile, she turned and jogged off deeper into Intel HQ.
Adam Lyons: -=grins and heads to the simulator control room to get
the all-important data into the computer=-
Estra Stoneringer: It was quite a few hours before Estra
was done returning to her red-headed, clear complected, alto voiced form.
In fact, it was nearly 0320 when they'd finished. She was exhausted,
and noting the time didn't want to wake Adam if h
Estra Stoneringer: e was sleeping, and so she wandered
by his usual simulator room to see if he was yet engrossed in his work,
or had gone back to his quarters for sleep.
Adam Lyons: -=sitting in the control room in a semi-oog state waiting
for the results so he can send it to Hobbie=-
Estra Stoneringer: She tapped on the window, glad to
see he was still, well mostly, up.
Adam Lyons: -=looks up and blinks and waves for her to come in=-
Estra Stoneringer: She did so, moving to sit in the other
chair with a yawn behind her small hand. "Why are you still awake?" she
asked.
Adam Lyons: Partially curiousity, partially because the sooner we destroy
these the sooner we can get back to a semi normal life.
Estra Stoneringer: She nodded, "Anything yet?"
Adam Lyons: Not yet, pretty much there is so much detail that the computer
has to remodel the fighter and then do damage effects of the comm weapons,
and all sorts of junk.
Estra Stoneringer: "Why didn't you just let it run and
go to bed?"
Adam Lyons: I just wanted to see what it would look like. Then I'd
goto bed.
Estra Stoneringer: she nodded at that sentiment.
Estra Stoneringer: "I was thinking of heading to the
agent bunkroom to get some sleep, I don't think I'd make it home," she
smiled sleepily.
Adam Lyons: -=nods=- Probably gonna do that soon also.
Estra Stoneringer: She thought a moment before speaking,
"Mind if I stick around until you get your answers?"
Adam Lyons: -=checks the timer=- It's gonna be at least thirty minutes...I
could send you the results or request that Senshu call you when he gets
them.
Estra Stoneringer: "That's okay," she smiled slightly.
Adam Lyons: -=looks sleepily at Estra=- You mean you have enough energy
to stay awake for another thirty minutes?
Estra Stoneringer: "I don't know about that," she yawned
again. "But I know I've spent a month surrounded by imps, and I'm not
quite ready to give the respite up yet."
Adam Lyons: -=chuckles=- Have a point.
Estra Stoneringer: She only smiled softly in return.
Adam Lyons: We probably should go to bed, I can let you know when I
have the results.
Estra Stoneringer: She was silent several long minutes,
and he might have thought she'd fallen asleep, when she spoke. "Adam?
Please don't tell anyone," she said softly, looking out through the viewport.
Adam Lyons: -=sleepily nods=- I won't.
Estra Stoneringer: She turned to look at him and smiled
her thanks. "it's Firrerreo, by the way," she supplied the answer to an
unasked question.
Adam Lyons: -=nods=- Bet I'll forget what it's called or how to pronounce
it by morning...
Estra Stoneringer: She chuckled, "That's alright. I...
I just didn't want to lie to you anymore."
Adam Lyons: -=silently nods his understanding=-
Estra Stoneringer: She was curled up in the chair, and
despite her earlier protests, she had fallen asleep.
Adam Lyons: -=looks at her and notices that she's asleep, decides to
pick her up and take her the the agent bunkroom, so picks her up and takes
her to the agent bunkroom=-
Estra Stoneringer: She didn't wake up, just cuddled against
him and sighed once in her sleep. For the first time in a month, she wasn't
afraid of being caught and tortured. She knew she was safe, and that's
all she knew.
Adam Lyons: -=sleepily takes her to the bunkroom and puts her in a
bottom bunk and for his next trick ladies and gentlemen he'll try to get
back to his quarters without falling asleep in the hall=-
Adam Lyons: -=all of this after he told the computer to automatically
send the results to Hobbie, Senshu, himself and Feni=-
Adam Lyons: -=sleepily heads to his quarters using the walls as his
support=-
Adam Lyons: -=somehow manages to open the door to his quarters and
goto sleep in his bunk immediately after tiredly laying down on it still
in his clothes=-
