"Well, it was situation in which we couldn't afford to lose Corsairs support, and Aki did some foolish acts without consulting with anyone else" Jack adds "I am sure you know her vessel and all of it's crew returned in Minor, but Kimura is missing, only god knows where is she now" he looks around to make sure no one else is listening "I was actually on covert mission deeply in Kusari, looking for her, but nothing, not a clue where she might be".
Lovejoy walked into the bar. The news of his tender of resignation had just circulated earlier. All of the agents' eyes avoided his, but it wasn't necessary. He didn't look for any of theirs. He just walked up to the bar, ordered ten of the hardest drinks in the house, and drank five of them straight off.
One, two, three, four, five.
Thanks to MikeyH for the banner.

Jeremy walked into the bar, slightly tired from the hard days work. Finally, if felt to Jeremy, the BHG had lost. They had been pushed out of MInor, and force once Jeremy was happy. He walked up to the bartender and ordered his usual soda. As it was handed over, Jeremy leaned agaisnt the counter and looked out the window at his Sekhmet, Talisman. It was a new one, since his had been blown to Kingdom Come earlier.
"So Major. How'd it go?"
"Well bartender, It went better than I had hoped. Two bombers were taken out, along with a BC. We lost two Praetorian reinforcments, an Imperator backup, my Sekhmet, and the Freya. They left with damage. Alot."
"COuld have went better."
"Or we coulda been completely wiped out and Minor attacked."
"True."
" as I sometimes say. 'Hope for the bes, plan for the worst.' "
"Aye Major."
John walked into the lounge and had a look around
before heading over to the bar and ordering a drink.
He had just come back from a patrol and was still
wearing his combat flight suit except for his helmet
which he had left in his bastet.
"Though I fly through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil.
For I am 80,000 feet and climbing."

Jeremy slumped into his usual spot in front of the bartender. His usual soda dropped down, and he drain it in one gulp.
"Something wrong Hunter?"
"Got our butts kicked in Delta, then lost my replacment bomber in a matter of minutes."
"Wow."
"God, all the supplies to my cruiser seem to disappear..."
The bartender nodded and placed another glass, which he then refilled seconds later.
"Bad day?"
"Coulda been worse."
"How?"
"Easy. BHG coulda sent a huge force agaisnt us, plus the Nomads coulda come from 92 and Major, and dont forget the Navy and LSF might finally get pissed and send a fleet through Alaska."
"True Major, very true."
"Good thing I gots me an AI."
"How so?"
"I need help, I get a jacked hyperdrive capable ship."
The bartender nodded and placed four glasses down.
Ciana walks into the Lounge,her black coat blowing behind her.She directly walkes to one of the Tables near one of the big windows of the Lounge and sit down there.When a waiter droid passed the table she ordered a ice water and then looked out of the window.So she didn't notice when Kys,one of her less friends she has,walks to her table and sit down right next to her."Hey Cia...what's wrong ? You look like you want to kill someone." he tried to joke and Ciana moved her head to him. "So do I look like this?" she replied and even Kys,who know her a very long time was slightly shocked by the icy voice with what Ciana spoke to him."Sorry Ky...iam just in a bad mood since i heard what this...this...so named Elders from our "allies" *she pronounced the word in a way,that it sounds insulting.* do.Shall they die through the hand of their enemys,then they aren't here anymore and we have noting to worry about.And our High Command care too much about the Ally with them...they bann our ship and what does the HC do ? Nothing.Not even restricted their ships here in Minor." Ciana said and looked at Kys.Kys just looked at her with his blue eyes,without saying anything.Then,after a few minutes of silence he said: "Cia...i don't think the High Command just sit there and watch how our relations with the Corsairs and their Elders go to hell.I think they just working on it.So give them a fair chance." he said and against her will Ciana nodded slightly."Alright...otherwise I think Atum is a good place to stay...or on board of the Anath..." she said and looked again out of the window while saying.
John looked over at the new arrival and tried to
remember her name, he had seen her before but
he couldnt remember where. She seemed a bit ticked
off about something. His curiosity got the better of
him and he left his drink at the bar and walked over
to her. Ciana was her name wasnt it, he thought to
himself. Hey your names Ciana right? he said to
her as he reached her table. You seem a bit upset
or something

-------------------------
Kys and Cianas eyes moved to the new guy who had moved to their table. What makes you to say that I am upset? Ciana asked him and looked into his eyes all the time. When the Service droid arrived with the ice water she took it without turning her eyes from his. Kys removed his arm around her. I think I leave you both alone he whispered into Cianas ear, stood up and moved away. Ciana didnt really noticed that, still waiting for an answer of John.
