Mullered Marines

Stepping onto the promenade Rio Lomaz was fuming.
 
For the first time in her career aboard Blue Dwarf, Chrysler had left her in charge on navigation while he was on an away mission, Dean, for some reason was unavailable Jay wouldn't tell her why and Kara wasn't around. So it was that with this new sense of responsibility she was determined not to smeg it up.
 
However there was a snag in her determination, you see as alert and attentive to her job as any good pilot was (of course this didn't include Dean, the word 'GOOD' was used), while she was monitoring incoming traffic, somehow she'd managed to let 150 Space Corp Marines vessels slip by radar land aboard ship without landing permission.
 
Oops.
 
Not that there had been much she could do about it, the ship's work under cloak, and they would have landed without clearance anyway, regulations say they can, but still...it would be nice to be asked.
 
She headed for Parrots, with the plan to drown her sorrows and work out how she was going to try to explain to Jay why 150 Space Corp Marine vessels now littered his shuttlebay floor when he returned, explain why several of them had more or less landed on top or near to several of JMC's auxillary vessels, it was hard to tell in some cases where the Starbug ended and the Marine craft began they were so mangled, god forbid they could use one of the other shuttlebays when they filled one,  it was as though they were deliberatley trying to see how many ships they could fit into one hangar.
 
Like clowns in a tiny car Rio thought.
 
She swung the doors to the bar open and sighed heavily at the sight she saw, Marines, marines marines, several of which were less than sober.
 
She headed to the bar, where a man who looked to be a platoon leader was drinking.
"Excuse me!" she said "I'm sorry to interupt, but I'm acting chief navigation officer Rio Lomaz, could you please explain to me why in gods name you chose not to inform me you'd be taking over my shuttlebay?!"
"Well...well...you're a nosey one aint ya, you realise of course it's none of your concern.."
"I thinks its very much my concern"
"Well, were herefor some R&R!"
"I find that hard to believe.."
"Well weve come to right place for it, with a sexy thing like you around!" said the captain and he grabbed Rio by the waist and pulled her towards him.
"Move the arm or I'll remove it from you shoulder socket..." she muttered.
"Fiesty eh...thats what I like"
Rio gave the marine 'the look' the same look that Alota used to make Jay tremble, that Tara would make Phil blubber like a baby or that Jasmine would use to cause Dean to gibber helplessly..although the lasat one could have just been alcohol...  THE look.
The marine was taken aback, distracted just long enough for Rio's left leg to shoot upwards 180 degrees from its previous position and make contact with the marine captain's chin.
The marine was stunned. "....Ooowww...." he uttered, then fell backwards from his stool, down to the floor where he lay, as Efof, who was mopping the bar floor came past, and mopped the marine obliviously. Rio slapped Efof on the shoulder, "Now how about getting me my usual mate?"
