Federation Headquarters

[Sir Lord Ash]

<sub>Zero twisted his arm, catching Josh's punch in the crook of his arm, all before some GI Major interupted them. Zero didn't hardly had a chance to move out of his position before the interuption.

Kid, take it easy. I think its time for me to go pay my favorite Captain a phone call to see if there is any work to be done. Seems like senior Tribbles needs to yank the stick out of his ass.

Zero stood up, stretching his arms and downed the last of his water before heading off, taking a nice walk to the other side of the complex, and stopped when he passed the Major.

You call us pussies, when I say we are smart; we get free rides, food, and room and boarding while you get to walk and sleep with nature. Not fun when you did it in the same way i did. Have fun with the rooks. Later Major.

Zero took out his commlink as he walked away, grinning, and keyed in the channel to Captain Johana, who usually held all the information on missions.

Yo, how is my favorite Captain? Have room up there for me, or am I stuck talking to you through this little link-up?</sub>

Johana was sitting in her office on the USS Enterprise when a call came over her communicator. She pulled it out an listen. "Your favorite, I am sure Cutter well not like that." She said with a slight laugh. "Sure come up. I could use with ball enough to try and get me into bed; but lets start your visit with lunch. We are current stationed near Liberty Station. I well make sure you got clearance to land." She said jokingly as she put down the communicator and turning to the ships intercom. She pushed the button and signaled the bridge to clear Zeros' shuttle for landing in hangerbay two. Elisa closed up shop in her office and headed down to the hanger to great Zero.

[Sir Lord Ash]

<sub>Cutter's a hard-ass and lucky he only got it chewed on for a while. I much prefer your company anyway that some old man. Bed? Lunch? Your too kind to me. See you in a few.

Zero laughed and ended the link, heading for the nearby Normandy. Zero wipped a bit of dust off of it's lowest wing which it was on, as usual, seeing as that was its landing gear. Once inside, the rear elivator was closed, and Zero brought the stealthy yacht up into space. He could see his newest ship, Gaia, just above the horison, and her soft mental touch. It was wierd to have a mental link with something, seeing as Zero was far from being a force user.

It took Zero little time to bring the fast yacht to the Enterprise, sent out her signal, quickly get a return signal, and finally made way to land. As usual, it was close to the smaller fighters, but sat over the nearest ones with little effort. Zero let the shipboard AI to power down the Normandy while Zero made his way down one of the elevators to greet Johana.</sub>

Johana walked over to Zero and gave a salute. “Welcome back Lt. How as gravity been treating you so far.” She said with a smile. She dropped her hand and headed towards the elevator which would take them to the mess hall.

Once the elevator arrived she and Zero stepped on and the doors closed. “So what is this visit about? I am sure you did not fly all the way up her to check out my ass like before. There is plenty of tail planetside to do that.” She said as she ran her fingers through her hair and leaned up against the elevator railing. She knew Zero was a bottomless pit, and she had yet eating today so she figured they would stop by the mess and grab some food and coffee.

[Sir Lord Ash]

<sub>Its good to see you, El-Capitano. Gravity has been nice, but I have chink in my back from the constant pressure and its kinda annoying.

Zero commicly arched his back, hand on it, after he saluted Johana. When she turned to walk to an elevator, Zero fallowed after her. Once the door's were closed, Zero leaned back, hands behind his head as he listened to Johana speak.

Sure, there's plenty of tail there, but its kinda hard to forget your nice looking ass. There's something about you navy chicks and having a nice ass that no gravity-loving woman has. Its also hard to break old habbits, so I will always be here to provide entertainment and someone you need to work hard to catch looking you over.

Zero laughed and let his eyes slowly scan Johana over, just like he said, but didn't hide his looking from the commanding officer. In his mind, he formed an image of what she would look like out of that uniform.</sub>

[Crazy O]

Johana walked out of the elevator shacking her head. "Figures you would have to go for the challenging prey. But now that I am not your commanding office; at lease it is not an unattainable target." She said almost laughing as she lead the way to the mess hall. Once their she grabbed a tray and filled her large silver cup with black coffee. She then set her tray down at one of the small tables design just for two and stat down.

The cooks had made Nerf steak sandwiches with lettuce and tomatoes, green salad and applesauce for the lunch. "You got lucky today. Captains choice lunch meal. Once in a month thing." She said as she tour a bite out of sandwich as Zero sat down. "So you still did not answer my question. What is the honor of the visit. Sense you are not trying to woo me by the lack of flowers. Although complementing my ass was a nice start, it lacks follow up material." She said with a smile as she at some applesauce. She knew that Zero did not always have a reason to do something, he did ask if he would need to continue to talk through the communicator.

[Sir Lord Ash]

<sub>Your not that challenging to get to compaired to some women I tried to get with.

Zero laughed as he left the elivator into the mess hall. He grabbed his food, but opted for water instead of soda or coffee, and fallowed Johana to a two-person table, where he started to eat his sandwich and listen to what Johana had to say.

Honestly, I was bored out of my mind. The GI's planetside got some rooks, but some major with a stick up his ass wasn't playing nice with me, so I decided to call you up, and was lucky to be able to see your pretty little body again rather than your voice. If I had access to flowers, I would have brought you a nice supply of them, but all I could get was what you can see on me right now.

Zero spread his arms wide, and laughed slightly, then took another bite of his sandwich. It didn't taste too bad, but some things Zero ate were much worst than what could possible be served.

And would you always want a reason for my visits? I though I was welcomed here with opened arms all the time?</sub>

[/sub]

[Crazy O]

Johana broke out in laughter when Zero said he thought he was welcome all the time. "Hell no. You are to much of a distraction to have running around all the time. And I am not the only Navy girl up her, if I let you come to often you may bump into them, break a few hearts and then I would need to push you out an airlock. No one wins." She said between mouth full of food or coffee. She enjoyed her meal.

She leaned back into her chair and looked at Zero. "So I take it if you were hanging around the GI recruits you met Major Tribble. Just be careful, sometimes he rips the stick out of his ass and beats smart asses to death with it." She said somewhat seriously. "That or he well bitch to Major Wright and he chews his soldier out for making him deal with that prick." She said showing she knew the way the army worked and where Zero had been stationed. It was also clear that Major Tribble was not liked, but he got the job done and until someone came along that could do it better, he would continue to train raw GI's.

After Zero released Josh's hand he then quickly sprinted to gather around the Sargent. Josh was finally glad someone was here that could give him orders. He was tired of just standing around. After Josh joined the rest of the group he stood straight, like he normally does, and listened in to Sargent Price. Josh was anxious to get things started.

[Sir Lord Ash]

<sub>I've seen them around, but its always fun to chace after those hard to get chicks. Maybe I should go after some easier little fishies, like one of them over there.

Zero looked over Johana's head to a group of women walking in, all young and good looking. One caught Zero's eye, and he couldn't help but cat call, even though he was tryng to get a rise from Johana. The women looked at Zero, then put their heads together to, he assumed, to chitter about him. Smiling, he focused on Johana again, laughing.

So much easier. That Major may yank out that stick, but he needs to be faster than me, who is just too fast.

Zero made a quick twist of his arm, which would normally cause him to throw or grab a dagger, but instead, he brought out his commlink, which he held like a dagger.

Did someone yell timber? Hehe. I also came up here to waste some time while I wait for some brass to call me with a mission, unless you want me to assault a pirate base like old times.

Zero laughed. When he first joined the Federation, he was assigned to a flight of cobra fighters, and had to provide support for an assault on a pirate base. Even though he was a flight leader, he pretty much lead the squad into the fray of pray.</sub>

OOC: Josh I started a new thread for your topic. It is called Basic Training and it is her on the Mon Calamari board.

IC:

Johana looked at Zero as he started to flirt with her crew. She could tell he was joking, but she still stomped her heel onto his foot. "No, no, no. Go screw what you want in the Army. I am the only one in the navy not off limits." She said with a smile. Johana then finished her food and watched Zero joke around.

Eventually he pulled out his comlink and started to flip it around like dagger. She broke out in laughter. "You seem like the type of kid that liked to play with knifes as a kid. Come on. I had to do something today and I figure you would enjoy it." She said as she stood and placed the empty tray on the counter and filled her coffee cup. She then walked out of the room and started heading down the corridors of the ship. "So, you think you are slick with your fancy blade work." She said as she turned and walked into one of the rooms.

The room was longer room with several holographic targets. She walked over to a caged area along one side. She grabbed the clipboard and signed her name and slid it back to the Armory officer. He pulled out two DC-15s blaster pistols. Johana checked each and flipped the on in her left hand over and held it out to Zero. "Lets put a real skill to the test. You target is fifteen meters out." She said waiting for him to take the weapon and step up to the shooting line. Center of mass hits at fifteen meters was the standard she expected out of any of her crew members. She figured a soldier like Zero could handle that.

[Sir Lord Ash]

[/b]Ouch... no need to be pushy. If you want me to keep going after you, just say so, seesh.[/b]

Zero was still smiling, not really feeling the pain in his foot. He took a bite of his sandwich, and listened to what Johana had to say to him before he finished it off.

I was one of those kids who spent time outside getting into trouble. I stuck with daggers rather than knives: easier to throw.

Zero let the commlink disapear before fallowing Johana, dumping what was left of his salad into the trash and handing his tray and glass to a waiting droid, then fallowed Johana to the shooting range.

I prefer rifles, but pistols are just fine as well.

When offered the blaster pistol, he took it and spun it on his finger before grasping in fully in his hand. No one could say he wasn't good with his hands. He stepped up to the target line and eyed the target before turning his body to face, and look at, Johana.

Blasters are simple weapons, as you don't need to compinsate for wind, but only movement, and the bolts are quite fast compaired to daggers. Center of mass, then heart, then head.

Zero didn's look away from Johana as he fired three times, hitting each part nicely. He could do this with daggers at this distance, but had to compinsate for distance and give each blade an arch to its target, unlike the blaster, and Zero had more than enough practice to hit targets without looking: a skill he aquired years ago.

Try that with a dagger. Its not too easy.[/center][/sub]

[Crazy O]

Johana stepped up looked at the target and laughed. "Your joking right. I never thrown a knife in my life. I am more civilized then that." She said punching up several button on the command bar of spot. She then raised the pistol and took a breath. A tone went off and single target popped up. Johana fired and a tone when off noting a hit. The target then appeared in a different section of the range. She fired again and nailed it. Each time it popped up she shot it again. After she fired seven shots in just under seven seconds. She blow on the type of her weapon before lowering it.

Johana punched up the targeting data for the target. Zero's shots were in red and shown the three hits at twenty meters all close to center and the time after the first shot. Johana's target data popped on the target one at a time in blue displaying the different range data and time to take a shot sense the target popped up. Each shot was under four thirds of a second but none looked accurate. However as more appeared it became clear she was also showing off. Around Zero's red headshot was a smiley face. The first two formed the eyes and the later five formed five spots which formed the mouth.

[Sir Lord Ash]

<sub>Zero whistled in admiriation as the position of Johana's marks showed up around his. He couldn't help but laugh at the smilie face that was formed. Zero twirled the blaster around his finger before handing it to Johana and walking off to the amory officer to check out a weapon for himself. After signing his name for a weapon, the officer brought Zero a DC-17m ICWC, something he was use to using, as well as the sniper attachment.

Zero stuck the attachment in his belt, and stood back at the range next to Johana.

I thought some more rapid fire would be good for this.

Zero keyed in a new set of targets, and after a few seconds, they started to pop up in random places. Zero had enough time to fire a few rounds in one before it vanashed to be replaced with a new one in a different are. It seems like zero was shooting at random. After about 30 seconds and two mags have passed, Zero switched to the sniper attachment and fire 8 rounds into 8 different targets, meaning he had to reload quickly. Finished, Zero leaned back and watched as his targets came up.

There were 8 targets, each one now supported a set of what clearly brests, as well as the word "Yup." under them. The larger sniper rounds made belly buttons in the correct spots. Zero couldn't help but grin at his work. He may not be the smartest person, but his memory was near perfect, and had no trouble working out what he did.

You draw face, I make targets into women.</sub>

[Crazy O]

Johana almost laughed when the targets had breast. "Figures you could not keep your mind out of the gutter. Step aside and I well show you really dirty shooting." She said as she punched up for more targets to appear. This ones were friend verse foe targets where one need to make split second choices. She also set it to two seconds each target was visible and eight targets. She raised the gun and a tone sounded. The first target appeared was a women holding a bady, she held her fire. Each target appeared, five were enemies because they had weapons while three were civilian. When it was done the targets appeared. Five shots fired, no civilians hit and the five hits way off of center of mass for the enemies. As each shot marker popped up and show the reason for the low scores. Each one was hit in the groin and ofcourse her time was just under a second to recognize and fire. "Now that is making women." She said as the targets remained in front of them.

Behind Zero and Johana a small crowd was forming, word was getting around the ship to the shoot off that her and Zero were having. Most of the crew expected Zero to do good but when the saw the Captain's shooting they were shocked. Not had pictured her such a deadly shot, but they understood now why she insisted that they get on the range once every two weeks. Several of the guys had grabbed their groins when the seen that targets go back all shot in the family jewels. "That is not right, Captain." One said out load. "Ya, that one is below the belt. No pun intended." Another guy added.

Johana put down the gun and looked at the crew. "I did not realize you guys would like a shooting demonstration. Or do you all just want to finally drag your butts to the range like I have suggested for the last month and halve." She said before turning to Zero. "Come on, we are distracting the crew." She said as she returned the pistols to the armory and the crew filtered out. "So, your turn to pick the entertainment. I still have free time to kill and word from command says no military operations until the next batch of troops are trained. So you got free time." She said leaning against the wall next to the door waiting for Zero to check in his weapon and make a suggestion for something to do.
