Subject: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Major Harris 'Pride before a fall'
******Vega 22********Harris had left Jackson in charge of security aboard the Blue Dwarf so that he could make his way through the levels of Vegas 22.  He had brought along Lloyd as a guild since she was once stationed here when she was in the military and so could show him the route to the base's chief of security office.After a while the two found the security office after passing a number of marines that knew Lloyd and called out.  "Aye up Havoc."  Havoc being the nickname she gained due to her love of blowing things up.  Like usual Harris didn't bother to knock and just entered the office.  A man in a marine uniform and colonel pips stood up from behind his desk and demanded.  "Who the hell are you!?""The name's Frank Harris."  Harris told the colonel and saw the look in the colonel's eye when he heard the name."So you're the infamous 'Nutter' Harris I heard about."  The colonel looked to Lloyd.  "And the throw out 'Havoc' Lloyd too and what brings you to my office.""I was asked to leave not thrown out!"  Lloyd commented."Bugs."  Harris merely commented."Bugs?"  The colonel asked."Bugs the size of a Blue Midget."  Harris added."What's the matter, what some help with dealing with a pest problem."  The colonel said in a childish tone."Like hell we do!"  Harris snarled."Ha."  The colonel laughed.  "The JMC security department is nothing compared to the military core!""Oh really!"  Harris snapped.Lloyd began to backup towards the door sensing that a fight was about to break out."My boys and girls could beat the crap out of your security losers any day, any time!"  The colonel said."Oh yea!"  Harris snapped."Oh yea!"  The colonel snapped in returned.  "And just to prove it we use the planet below to run excises to train our marines.  Two days to chose twenty of yours to go against twenty of mine in a round of paint ball.""You on!"  Harris snarled.***********************Five minutes later"What have you done?!"  Lloyd asked Harris."Know your place ENSIGN!"  Harris snapped.  "No one makes fun of the JMC security force!  It's a matter of pride.""Oh hell."  Lloyd commented.  "Now what?""Will they cheat?"  Harris enquired."Its' the motto of the Core.  'If you can't do the first time then cheat down and dirty'."  Lloyd answered. "If they'll cheat so will we, but dirtier!"  Harris said.  "Go back to the Dwarf and start recruiting and don't just limit it just to security staff, make sure we have a engineer or two.  We'll also need to recruit the aid of the coms and sensor departments so if the marines will be tracking us, we'll be tracking them to even out the balance. ""Yes Gov."  Lloyd said and then started back towards the Blue Dwarf.(Alright campers, everyone's welcome in this unfriendly paint ball match.)The continuing adventures of the Blue Dwarf...www.geocities.com/bluedwarf2000To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to:JMC_Blue_Dwarf-unsubscribe@egroups.com
