Military Stuffs

"As much as I'd love to be in the battle'. Hawke plugged her nose up again after checking the cloth and moving it to a clean spot. "I have my principles. I was brought in to the naval service by Jack Harkness. The old Chancellor. And so my loyalties lie with The Republic until either I die, resign, or there's not a warship that can fly". In a very unladylike fashion she spit out a glob of blood and saliva to her left. "I'm not a mercenary Colonel Corik. If you are looking for allies though why don't you try Black Sun. There are a lot of Fed fringe worlds around them they could take to distract them, and if my history of more recent events is right. They'd love revenge for Barab 1". Hawke's ship how loomed over them, the shade doing something to repress the heat. The humidity still made it uncomfortable. One of her officers saluted her as she went by. She saluted back with the handkerchief still held to her nose.

Noah laughed as she mentioned her loyalties to the Republic. "I use to be a Republic soldier, you know that? I was a commando, one of the best. My career was going great, I had served 15 years as a Lieutenant, denying a lot of promotions to stay with my unit, I had multiple medals and commendations. You wanna know why I'm not with them anymore? I fell in love with a civvie. Well, it turns out she didn't feel the same and when I professed my love for her, she broke it off but that wasn't the end of it, she went to her father, an admiral, and said I raped her. Two months later I was out on my ass with a dishonorable discharge. No pension and no benefits. Does that sound like a reward for loyalty to you Commander?" Noah informed her and then heard her mention the Black Sun, Noah choose not to comment, due to the fact he had nothing good to say about them.

"If sounds more life dealt you a series of bad hands and you found out people aren't inherently good. What you should be thankful for is that you arn't rotting in a cell. Also that you gained a new life as I have. Ones we should be thankful for. I'd say not to dwell on the failings of others but that would make my a hypocrite". Hawke and Noah arrived at the ramp up to the ships bay. There was all kinds of hustling and bustling as supplies were being taken aboard. The crew looked like they'd only a good two hours or so before everything was on. "Now lets not bring up the loyalties issue again shall we Colonel. We stand behind our respective flags for a reason and we shouldn't have to question why". One of Hawke's lower ranking officers came about from behind to inform her of the progress. All seemed well but she'd a new job for the man. "Lieutenant Dresja if you'd be so kind. I'd like you to escort Colonel Corek to one of the guest quarters. I'll oversee the rest of the resupply. Colonel. I'll see you in a few hours. Please remain in your quarters until I or someone is sent for you. Dismissed Liutenant". Hawke gave a nod to Noah and set off over to a grouping of crew loading up a large pallet of crates.

Noah followed the Lieutenant as he showed him his room, which judging by the barbell, punching bag and dumbbell weights that were in the room near the cot and workbench that had been set up, it was most likely the room had been a officers personal exercise room. Noah didn't mind though, that meant he would be able to get some exercise while he waited for Hawke. After putting his rifle cases, duffle bag and smaller weapon case down and taking his chest plate and the chest portion of his body glove off and put on a tank top with the Omega Pyre symbol emblazoned on it. Noah decided to get to work on the barbell first, putting at least 150 pounds on each side, Noah did this for a good half hour before standing and removing his sweat soaked tank top and threw it on his cot. He then pulled a roll of boxing tape out of his duffle bag. Once he finished taping up his hands and began to wail on the punching bag.

Three Hours Latter

Hawke loudly walked down the corridor of her ship. Her boots had the habit when she walked to land heavily on the heel. Not that she was incapable of stealth when she wanted to. That simple required more care; as it should. The lieutenant informed her what quarters he'd posted the Colonel in. And that was her objective to arrive at. With the ship resupplied much of the crew had been granted shore leave, she intended to do the same. Along with dragging Corek along with her. Now outside his door she pressed a button for the intercom; it was linked to the other side of the wall and so long as he wasn't too distracted he'd hear her. "Colonel Corik. May I have a word. I'm just outside the door".

Noah sat on the cot panting, covered in a thick layer of sweat from his rather intense workout. He sat there, chest heaving until he heard Hawke's voice come over the rooms intercom. Noah walked, activated the intercom and spoke into it. "Yeah, let me just get a shirt on." Noah told her as he let go of the button and went over to his duffel bag, withdrawing another black tank with the Omega Pyre symbol on it. He then went over to the smaller weapons crate and pulled out a Corek Custom Revolver and its holster. Strapping it to his thigh, Noah went over and opened the door and looked down at Hawke. "What do you need Commander?"

Hawke took a look upwards to meet his own. "We've finished the resupply and I've granted non essential crew shore leave until this evening. I was going to go into town myself; and I figured you'd wish to come along rather then be cooped up here". Fairly easy choice for him. Hawke wasn't going to let him run around the ship all alone. So his choices were either stay in the room or tag along to whatever she was going to do.

Noah thought it over for a moment when Hawke basically asked if he wanted to come with her. Noah weighed his options carefully, he could stay here, but since most likely Hawke wouldn't let him roam around the ship, so he would be cooped up around the room, so the only logical thing would be to go with Hawke. "Alright, I guess I'll go with you, let me grab my fatigues." Noah told her as he walked into his room, stripped and put on his fatigues.

"Excellent". Hawke stepped aside and leaned against the corridor wall while he changed into something more respectable then his sweaty gym clothes. Hawke too had changed her uniform. Really the same as before, just with less blood on it. The work crews made jokes at Corik's expense and light threats as she'd explained the reason for her marred uniform. She did make sure nothing wouldn't come of them of course. She didn't want (Man strung up on the prow of his ship by the under cloths) on her record.

Noah smiled once more before ducking into his room and stripping out of his armor bottoms and tank top before pulling on his fatigue cargo pants, his undershirt and fatigues jacket. Noah decided to put his armors boots back on and strapped his Corek Custom Revolver to his thigh and opened the door. "So where are we going?" Noah asked as he opened the door and walked back into the hallway.

"I have a package I need to pick up. Then I'm thinking of doing a little shopping. Not often I've the time to waste my credits on extravagances and special wants". Hawke rolled her head along for him to follow her. They traversed the metal corridors and down the ramp to the Spaceports tarmac. She'd arranged a hover vehicle to get them there. Something sporty and fast. Hawke pulled out the keys to the vehicle. "Wana drive"?

Noah nodded and took the keys from Hawke and opened up the door for her, once she would get in, Noah closed the door and walked over to the other side and started the speeder. "Alright. So where are we going?" Noah asked as he pulled the speeder up and began to head towards the city where it was most likely the place they would be going.
