OOC: how much damage would a 737BBJ do to a ship like the North Carolina if it slammed into the bridge? Say enough to rid us of a problem but not destroy the ship, or is that too much?

[OOC]
It wont sink the ship, and since you'll be low on fuel when you get to it from crossing the Atlantic, you'll only set a fireball that will flame out of control for about an hour. You'll probably kill 1/2 her crew.
But lets not fester on suicide missions.
Find out how the girls ended up off the ship and in the hospital to see their friend.

I never said suicide, what do you think the little copter is for?
[\quote]
[OOC]
That would be a waste of a good loaner plane.
Besides, I'm responsible for it, and would have to pay for it if it got damaged. You know how many acorns it would take to pay for it?!!

No.
Find out what the girls are up to and how they got off the deck of the Enterprise without anyone knowing! They're at Milan Hospital of Special Surgery, visiting a friend.
And wear your Ambulance uniform; no one will ask question while you wear it in the hospital. Take the ambulance too. Anybody asks, you're on your break.

OOC: Actually, the bridge/CIC of the Carolina is buried deep in the ship. The CIC is located down inside the hull, on a deck near the waterline, actually. The vitals of the ship are protected by about a foot of solid steel armor.
How does a battleship respond to a kamikaze hit? Well, in 1945 the USS Missouri was hit by a Japanese Kamikaze. The result? A small gasoline fire that was contained within minutes and a small dent in the ship's side. Now, granted, a 737 is a much bigger and heavier plane than a Japanese Zero, but that still says something about how well these ships were built.
And besides, at the moment anyway, North Carolina is under our control...or rather, Ms. Hasegawa's control. [/quote]

After a little disagreement, Hondo puts on the EMT uniform and jumps in the little pick-up, which has a load of airport security guards in the back, bound and gaged. He drives to the spot were he left the ambulance and hides the truck, leaving the C4 strapped to it in case they need it.
Hondo drives by the docks first and finds a small landing craft that was marked with RR's ships name. After moving the landing craft to a safer location, Hondo head off to the hospital.
When he arrived, he parked the ambulance beside a few others, locked it electronically and put the remote into his pocket. he put on a fake mustache earlier and pulled a cap down low on his face. he walked toward the hospital and helped carry a wounded chipmunk inside. He then set off to locate the girls. He first stopped by security. as usual, hospital security had only one old codger watching the cameras. Hondo told him he was sent there to give him a break as the rest of the security staff was busy. The old fellow had no reason to disbelieve him, as it had been done before, so he left.
Hondo checked all the Cameras and found them. they were leaving Angelica's room Hondo when to find them, He noted they were on the 5th floor. He grabbed a food Cart and headed up to the 5th floor. No one questioned him as he was helping and with all the trouble coming in and as short handed as they were they needed help. he left it at the nurses station as he walk up the hall they should be on. he met them in an empty area on the hall and stopped them. They did not recognize him untill he took off his cap and spoke.
"What are you two doin' here and why did you leave the ship without tellin' Fernando?" Hondo said.
"We came to see Angelica and Fernando would not have let us leave if we told him." Claes said.
"Well, we have to get you two back now!" Hondo said.
"No." said Bink flatly.
"Not without Rico and Angelica." Claes said.
"I'm not sure Angelica will make it. She will not if we have to move her." Hondo said.
"Even if she doesn't live long after, she needs to be away from here." Bink says.
"OK, but we need a plan, and here is not a good place to plan." Hondo said.
"and there is a lady we want to get out of here and make sure she is safe too." Claes said.
"Only if you can convince her to help us. I might have to traqu. her to get her here, but it is up to you two to convince her. I'll help all I can, but first we have to get out of this hall." Hondo said.
"Where to then?" Bink asks.
"To the roof for now." Hondo said.
They made it to the roof and found an old unused storage building on it where they set up their head quarters.

Charlie had mentioned putting all non-essential personnel off the ship
*Rosie is sitting pensively in the VIP cabin. At least with all the newcomers she hadn't been evicted....not that Charlie would ever do that. Thinking and partly sulking....*
"Non essential personnel!" she begins "Well I may not be essential, but I am not going anywhere!"
*Rose settles her shoulder holsters and rams the nickel-plated Peacemakers into them. She pauses, and then tucks the derringer RR gave her into her pocket and puts on her jacket.*
"I'll tie myself to this ship before I let myself be offloaded like cargo!"
*Rose walks out on deck (making sure to stomp past the captain's cabin on the way) and stares over the dark water to where the hostile ships are over the horizon. Uncountable stars cover the heavens*
"Come and take it."

Hondo was a little unsure what to do.
*guns blazin' will not work here again!* he thought.
"Well, I need to let Fernando know what's goin' on, then we'll talk." Hondo said as he pulled out his palm pilot.
"Fernando is not coming to help?" Claes asked.
"He is in enough trouble, now. You two leavin' will not help him any." hondo said as he sent a quick message.
"Well the Boss squirrel man should receive that soon. In the mean time, what are we goin' to do?" Hondo said out loud to no one, but more to hear himself.
"We have to convince Rico to come with us, save Olga and get angelica out of hear." Bink said.
"But we need a miracle too . . ." Hondo stop short as he heard the whop, whop of a helicopter.
"What that matter?" Claes asked as Hondo eye started to twinkle and a half smile crossed his face.
"I think I hear a Miracle." He said.
"No, thats a Helicopter." Bink said.
"Yes, it is. A medivac Copter at that, with long range tanks. The type of copter that could fly a sick little gunslinger to a ship without harm." Hondo said as his eyes lighted up looking a fiery sapphire blue instead of his usual cold steal blue.
"Time to git dangrous!" he said. "you to can handle Rico and tranq. her handler, right?"
"Yes." they said in unison.
"Without being seen." Claes added
"But can you two convince her to come with us?" Hondo asked.
"I know we can. After what Tammy and Fernando has told us, I know we can convince her that there is a better way to live." Bink said.
"OK, but you two may need weapons." Hondo said. "But can I trust you two to use them only if you have to?" Hondo asked.
"Yes, sir." They said in unison.
"Good, and don't call me sir!" Ho0ndo said. I'll be right back.
Hondo left them and returned in 20 minutes with food and a box.
"Here you two, eat up." Hondo said."Sorry, but I have no new pistols. I only use older models." He gave each of them one of his .36 cal. walsh navy 12 shots and kept the .50 cal. dragoon and the .45 la'matte for himself.
"also for each of you, I brought a bullet proof jacket and a tranquilizer dart pistol and a few pen/darts a piece. Use these if you can, but if you can't then use the pistols." Hondo said. "We'll wait an half an hour, then you two take care of Rico and I'll get Olga then sedate Angela and trick a couple Paramedic into helpin' me get them to the copter. either of you been trained to fly a copter?" He asked.
"Yes, both of us have." Bink said.
"Good! you two have to be to the copter in two and one half hours. I am going to set a few C4 charges to keep them busy when we take off." Hondo said as he gathered his stuff and got ready to leave. "Don't be late!"
"We won't be." Claes said.
Hondo nodded and stepped out the door closing it behind him.
*Here we go again!* he thought as he crept through the night.

Hondo, You're forgetting Triela; who might be the hardest to convince, and who is separated from Rico.
Both sets of girls are with their handlers going in different directions.
Olga is being detained in an undisclosed jail... Until at least the UN Investigators come in to interogator her. Only somebody of Rank or Seniority can pullher out.
Thats when I'll move in once I am convinced that it will work. Problem is being convinced first, then getting my ass off the Enterprise.
[/OOC]
[OOC =02]
Jeanette/Arik, There is a flaw in the condictioning process.
-These girls seem to work as a team; whether with their handlers or each other. They interact with each other to know that they can trust the others.
-With the Handlers are not there, they need to latch onto each other, as they do so in the series.
-With the Handlers pernamentally gone, they need to latch onto another handler.
-Finally, in the case of Elsa (who died long ago), if the Handler does not give the girls some emotional suppport and understanding, the girl goes haywire and kils both the handler and herself.
I say this because (other than it did happened in Gunslinger), it shows to me that part of the condictioning/brainwashing process involves emtional abuse.
How each person deal with such abuse is on them. With Elsa- the condictioning process failed because of the abuse. With Bink (Henrietta), its on that edge since Jose does not know what to do for her. Now that Jose is dead...
With Claes- she gets it from all sides, except the girls, because of her handler's death, the rest of Section 2 does not know what to do with her other than to let section 1 experiement on her as they please. Fortunately for Claes, her handler was most giving to her needs before he died.
With Angelica, that toll has taken a downward spiral and her mind and body is failing on her. Recovery for her will be difficult at best.
Both Rico and Triela are unknowns at the moment, though they seem to be capable of latching on to the rest of the girls with ease.In Triela's case, latching onto Bink (Henrietta) when she needed support.
Curing Angelica will mean undoing a lot of the emotional abuse from her. That will not be easy, and Angelica will always see herself as not quite measuring up. That is, if she survives her hospitalization.
A Cyborg's life is short because these girls are run raggedly hard. Like a drug dealer's carreer only lasting on average 5 years before murder or the police catches up with them. Take away those pressures, and they can have a full life time of experiences.
Besides- as a soccer team, those cyborgnetic implants gives them an unfair advantage over the others. But I'm not telling if you aren't.
In short, in dealing with abused kids to get them to grow up nornamlly, you have to treat them as a broken person, with a lot of glue, time, and patients. In RL the both of you know mypast and how I managed to do this with others, the same rules applies to here.
[/OOC]
Fernando wakes up feeling worse than he did before going to sleep. 'A nest of twigs and leaves would have been better than this bed', Fernando thought to himself.
He gets up to his laptop, finding that his Internet connection has been restored. He also finds his message and email boxes full. He reads each one before answering them.
Code:
Hondo,
Though its a long drive, you can use the hideout to keep the girls there. You may need to stock up on food and clothes for the girls.
In case of an emergency, there is a hidden entrance 100 yds behind the hideout to a WW2 bombshelter. Use it only if you have too. It connects to a shaft that runs 5 miles into the sewers if you need an escape.
Looks like you need to play 'daddy' to the girls while I'm stuck here.
Code:
Alex II,
You will be sent back to Milan to supervise interogation of the prisoners. It has to be done by the book (No torture!).
Keep an eye on the UN Investigation team. Only allow them to interogate the prisoners one at a one and no more.
Find out which one of the captured is Olga, and do not let anyone near her.
Code:
Jeanette and Tammy,
The girls has escaped and are right now with Hondo.
[b]WE [/b]will deal with them once we are back home.
Code:
To Ship Captains,
I recieved a disturbing message from the Pentagon Police:
Admiral Donnelly has escaped, and at last call to home port, The Carolina was not listening to orders.
I'm assuming the worst here. You captains have your orders, which I will not interfere with.
I do however need to continue with completing the mission, once things fall into place and new plans can be drawn.
Any help will be greatly appriecated.
Code:
To All Rescue Mission Ops
Enjoy your Mediterranean Sea Cruise, courtsey of the USA navy...
Gadget, stop asking about taking jet spare parts home, they're not free samples!
And Dale- stop harrassing the crew to paint a shuffle board for you on the flight deck!
You think I dont know these things, who guess who gets yelled at for your actions!
With the messages sent, Fernando knows that he will be pounced on by everybody once he steps outside the door. But Fernando needs to step out onto the deck.
Despite the general quarters command, Fernando makes his way to the flight deck, making his way to the rear of the ship. Behind the Enterprise is a wake of churred up glowing matter. Microscopic bioluminesence, brought up by the ship's propellers. He stands there looking out at it and the stars.
Fernando (to himself):I wonder how far are we from Milan?
A voice from behind: I would guess about 800 miles out.
Fernando: That was rhetorical, Jeanette... hmmm... but a 2 hour flight by Lear.
Jeanette: Thinking of going back?
Fernando: To care of unfinished business.
Jeanette: You mean, gettting the other girls?
Fernando: And Hondo too.
Jeanette: And have you thought about Olga?
Fernando: I still need convincing.
Jeanette: Look. If anyone can get to the girls, she can. She's done everything within her power to minimize the damaging affects of their condictioning, and probably is the only one who does care about them.
Fernando: She is from Section 1. Who's to stop her from running away with the girls, turn them against us? What guarentees do i have against that?
Jeanette: So, there is no convincing you of this?
Fernando: I did not say that. I just need proof.
Jeanette: You're worse than a Doubting Thomas.
Fernando: So be it that I am. I need more to be convinced.
Jeanette: How about me?
Fernando: eh?
Jeanette: I'm convinced that it will not happen as you think it would. I believe that Olga is the missing key to get all the girls and get them into a healing process from which they can recover.
Fernando: You are, I'm not.
Jeanette: Then how about backing me up on this.
Fernando: And if it fails?
Jeanette: It wont.
Fernando: You're asking me in putting up a lot of trust and faith into something that might fail on you.
Jeanette: I've given you that much and more on past rescue missions, and though you have not failed, I am sometimes left to clean up the mess.
Fernando: Its not your job to clean up the mess.
Voice in the dark as someone approaches: It seems that you two have a lot of emotional baggage...
Jeanette: Hello Tammy.
Tammy: Especially on your part, Fernando. Jeanette trusts you with her life on these missions, and yet, it seems that you do not reciprocate on that. Why?
Fernando: Because our lives are at stake here, not just others. Its easy to run into a burning building and pull somebody out. Its its another to willing stand in front of them to take a bullet.
Tammy: You mean like Chip did for Gadget?
Fernando: I doubt he'll ever do that stunt again.
Tammy: You dont know Chip that well to say that.
Fernando: I know he has regrets about it.
Tammy: I surely doubt that.
Fernando: No? Go pump a couple of acorn brewski's into him, and he'll tell you all about it once the alcohol kicks in.
Tammy: And what about you?
Fernando: I dont have any...
Jeanette: For somebody who is super powered as you are, you sometimes act like the weakest squirrel on earth.
Tammy: Super powered?
Jeanette: Dont you know?
Tammy: Know what?
Jeanette: Look, I'll give you his medical file to study up, but for now lets say that he's augmented enough to take on this whole crew hand to hand and beat them all.
Fernando: Those days are gone Jeanette. I'm no longer the super squirrel that I was in my youth.
Jeanette: No? Sorry Tammy, but I need to prove something.
Tammy: What?
Jeanette takes Tammy by the wrist and throws her hard off the edge of the ship. Instinctively Fernando spins and grabs the back of her shirt, while clawing the edge of the bow with his toes, indenting the metal for a better grasp. His reaction time being less than 1/2 a second.
Tammy stays quiet as she looks out on her new found view of the sea below her. Slowly, Fernando pulls and right themselves back to the deck of the ship.
Jeanette: See what I mean?
Tammy (in a nervous but relieved voice): Yeah, I see... what you... mean...
Fernando: That was uncalled for Jeanette.
Jeanette: It was, Fernando. You needed a reminder of that. Now I'm asking of you, to give back that trust that I have given you as your rescue partner. Do I have it?
Fernando: On two condictions.
Jeanette: No condictions.
Fernando: Then you wont get it.
Jeanette: Why must I give in so much- OK, what are the condictions.
Fernando: 1) You take over as leader, and have Tammy with us.
Tammy: I told you I'm not going.
Fernando: Bink Is Back With The Others, darn It!
Jeanette: OK, whats, 2?
Fernando: You fly the Lear back to Milan.
Jeanette: I dont fly anymore.
Fernando: You have to get beyond that fear. Just like you do to me about my problems, I get on yours.
Tammy: If I did not know better, I'd swear you two act like you're married.
Jeanette: We're worse than married. We're Rescue Mission Team Partners.
Fernando: You're still flying.
Jeanette: No, I'm Not...

Hondo left to do his work he listen to the girls talk, via a hidden mic.
"Well, Rico is close by, I know, but getting Triela and Olga will be trouble some." said Bink.
"I heard Olga is been captured, so we will need Rico's help." Claes said.
"And we need Olga to talk Triela into coming with us." Bink said. "but it will take hours to get them. We'll just leave Hondo a note."
"Nobody's leaving Hondo a note!" Hondo growled. The girls spun around, pistols in hand. Hondo had turned around an came back as soon as he realized what was going on, and, being lost in thought, neither of the girls heard him answer the door.
"You might as well shoot! Not tellin' me all this definitely is like shootin' me in the back!" Hondo said as he shut the door and sat in a chair in front of them and gazed between the two with a look of steal. They holstered their pistols and and sat down again, they looked at the floor.
"Sorry." They said together.
"Why in tarnation didn't you two tell me, before I left to sign my own death note. . . Don't tell me. . . You thought I would say no, eh?"
"Yes." Bink said. "We didn't mean to put you in danger."
"It is amazing. Two girls as smart as you two, who have proved you can think for yourself, how could you. . . oh never mind. Ok change of plan. You two get Rico and meet me at copter I will have Angelica. Then after you all get to saft I will work on gettin' Olga out. DANG! I could use a good blind Flyin' squirrel, But I'll make do. You two ready?" Hondo said.
"Yes Sir!" They said.
"right, and do not call me sir. Makes me feel . . . old. Let move out than, and oh, by the way. Promise me you two will let me know first next time."
"We promise." They said together.
"Alrighty, then. Let's get this wagon train a movin'!"Hondo said
"What wagon train?" asked Bink.
"just an expression, kid. Let move, now!" Hondo said as they moved quickly out the door to do their separate tasks.

Hondo places a few explosives around the Hospital, but not in the Hospital itself. He saw walked behind the Girls a good ways off until they were out of the open, then continued his work. Hondo set most of the charges to go off at a single frequency, but a few a a different one to insure he got out with the ambulance. They had lost time earlier so the girls only had 1 hour and 45 minutes to do their work. Hondo finished up with an hour left. He when to find info on Angelica.
*I need another easy disguise.* He thought.*Ah,ha!* Hondo spied an unused lab coat hanging in a locker room and slipped it over his EMT uniform. With that he went to the nurses station to get the info. He found it fast and nobody noticed him as other sifts, who never usually worked together, were still there as there were not enough staffed per shift to handle this crisis.
After Hondo gathered the info he 'borrowed some meds and equipment they might need, until help arrived. He stashed them aboard the copter, using the excuse to the guards that he was restocking the supplies on board.
*dumb guard. never teach 'um what they really need to know. staff never resupplies copters.* Hondo thought as he returned to the fith floor and Angelica's room.
He read over her charts again as he walked, *This poor kid needs help bad! I'm afraid I'll lose her without medical help, but the other girls will not leave without her.* Hondo walked to a medical cart and pulled out a heavy sedation med.
*good thing she has an I.V.* He thought. He injected the med into the I.V. tube without a problem as Angelica was sleeping, but things were going to smooth.
"Excuse me, sir. What are you doing?" an extremely U.S. type southern accent asked.
*man, that voice is familiar, but who?* Hondo thought.
he had a gun in his right pocket, so he turned around toward the left to hide the movement of his hand that was grabbing the gun. He turned with gun in hand.
A very familiar Red headed mouse stood in front of Hondo. She dropped what she had in her hand and gasped.
"Hondo!" She squeaked.
"Step in, Red, and shut that door quietly!" Hondo hissed. The frightened nurse did as she was told.
"What are you doing here!" she demanded.
"Isn't it obvious!" He snapped.
" But why. . ." She started.
"Don't start that ' of all the Hospitals in all the world' junk." He said.
"You still are mad at me." She stated.
"Well, Red, You don't forget a heart break that easily, especially one that betrays you to his worst enemy, has his family taken prisoner to make him hand himself over, and when he does, he finds out that the one he though was his girl, did the Judas thing then becomes that creeps Girl friend!" Hondo snarled.
"You know I did it to save my brother. We were friends! why can't we get that behind us.I apologized!" Red said.
"We were more than friends, once. never again, Red. I don't trust you, but I need help, and you have seen me." Hondo said.
"Help?" Red asked.
"Yes, I am takin' this little gal with me, and I need you to keep her alive." Hondo said.
"She is on no condition to be moved. you can't take her! I'm getting security!" Red said and turned toward the door. she stopped suddenly as Hondo cocked his .50 cal. Dragoon.
"To many lost there lives last time because of you. I have no qualms about blowin' you away. you will go and help, or got to a lot hotter place!" Hondo said. She turned and looked at Hondo with tears in her eyes.
*The shame I have brought myself. I can not even run from it by leaving the U.S. It followed me in the form I most feared.* She thought. She looked back at the floor and walked over to the sleeping girl and prepared her to leave.
"I hope the other girls are doin' alright." Hondo thought out loud.
"What other girls?" Red asked.
"You'll find out soon enough. just keep quiet. You think I am mean. They will shoot you if you look at then sideways and they take it wrong." Hondo said and turned to the window.
Bink and Claes had it easy. Rico's handle had left her at an abandoned apartment to go get food and other supplies before moving out to a better hiding spot a lot further away.
Talking her into joining them was a snap, getting her to help sub do her handle was not. finally they convince her if they did not tranqu. her handler, he handler and herself would be killed, but if she was gone her handle could escape easier and they would have no evidence to hold her handle on charges until after her handler had made it out of the country. Rico finally gave in to that, but only if she could write a coded note to her handler explaining why she lsft and the uslesness of following.
*I hope her handler takes her note to heart.* Bink thought. *for all of our sakes.*
The handler came back and they all jump him as soon as he entered the door. He had no time to react. Bink had the Handler out with a tranqu. pen. and was ready to leave in seconds. Rico put the note in her handlers pocket.
"Thank you for taking care of me, but it is time I go, time for all of us to go, and try to live normal lives." She whispered with tears in her eyes. She grabbed her own pistol and ran to the other two who were waiting for her.
"We don't have much time left! we have to get the guartds at the helo pad before Hondo gats out!" Claes said.
There were only three guard there when they arrived. Claes gave Rico a pen/dart and then the three of them split up. The guards were night blind from the helo pad lights so they did not see the three girls sneak up behind them, but it would have mattered little as they saw nothing for several hours after. together they drug the three unconcious guard off into the shadows and waited for Hondo, but they did not wait long. For Hondo and a red headed nurse soon were seen making their way to the pad.
Hondo turned from his vigil at the window and said, "It's time."
He then threw off the lab coat, so his EMT uniform showed again. He helped Red get her onto the copter transport cot and strapped her down.
"One false move from you, Red, and I promise you that you'll be dead before me." Hondo said. Red just nodded and cleaned her face, to not show the tears.
"What will you do with me after?" She asked.
"If you promise to behave, I'll just have most of the details of this excursion erased from your mind and will turn you lose. all you will 'think' that you remember is that you were kidnapped by Terrorists, then set free after they realized you were of little use to them." Hondo said.
"I'll be good. I promise." Red said.
"Just like you promised to always be there for me?" Hondo asked. "your word better mean a whole lot more now than they did then."
Hondo signaled for her to get moving. they moved out to the helo pad without any problem. as they approached the helicopter Hondo saw the girls approaching.
*right on time.* He thought. *now for the hard part.*

Fernando
- - - - -
While Fernando and the ladies discussed their plans, Fernando laptop recieves a strange text message with a video clip attachment. The video clip was from the security cam, showing the Admiral's jail from several angles. It also shows how he escaped. Another messgae arrives, Alex II has managed to separate Olga from the others. Meanwhile he argues with the UN Investigators.
UN Investigator: That last woman you have in the separate cell, we want to talk to her.
Alex II: You cant.
UN Investigator: Why not?
Alex II: She's already been interogated and it turns out that she is not involved with this. She's going to be released soon.
UN Investigator: We'll be the judge of that.
Alex II hands the UN Investigator a folder.
Alex II: Here's the transcript of her interogation. Believe me, she knows nothing.
The UN Investigator looks at the folder, flipping through the pages fast.
Alex II: I told you there was nothing of interest there.
UN Investigator: She does not leave until we finish with what we're doing here.
Alex II walks away to a nearby desk and sits on its ledge, crossing his arms, staring down at the UN Investigator.
Back at the ship, Chip, Dale and the others find Jeanette with Tammy in deep discussion with Fernando about the mission. They approach them quickly but quietly.
[quote="a few seconds ago"]
Fernando: You're still flying.
Jeanette: No I'm Not...
...
..
.
[/quote]
Chip: About time somebody had the acorns to challenge your self dellusioned authority in this mission.
Fernando (to Jeanette): Maybe you should toss him over the edge...
Monty (walking right up to Fernando with his finger pointing at this Fernando's face): Listen here Pally... AH! LET GO OV ME FINGER!
Fernando grabs Monty's finger and bent it back over and against his wrist. Monty yells in pain and kneels before the almighty Fernando. Chip starts rolling up his sleeve and clenching his fists.
Gadget: Chip, dont!
Chip: Just because he's a rodent that can fly, he thinks he can push his elitist bull on the rest of us? No, I'm going to teach him a lesson!
Fernando lets go of Monthy after he thinks he had enough. Monty curls up into a ball holding his injured finger between his legs.
Fernando: Dont ever approach me with hostile intent, Mr. Jack... (then he turns to Chip) As for you Mr. Munk, I'm not elists because of my flying capabilities. I'm elitist because of my experience.
Chip: Yeah right, I know a braggart when I hear one.
Fernando: Its about time I've done this...
Fernando walks right up to Chip, keeping an arm's length away while taking off his EMT Jacket. Once in front of Chip, he gives the jacket a very hard shake. Little deformed bits of metal fall onto the floor. Most made up of lead, some were copper covered. Gadget and the others dive onto them and examine them.
Dale: What are these?
Fernando reaches over to Chip, but his hand under his jacket, spreading out the material, showing off a dent in it.
Fernando: Care to guess what they are?
Gadget: They appear to be bullet fragments.
Fernando: Thats one reason why I did not want you in Milan.
Chip: Whats the other?
Fernando: Your little pointy tail is worth about $100,000USD.
Chip: What?
Fernando: Both the Italian government and the terrorists have put a price on all our heads, and there is a lot of idiots who either want the money or to make a name for themselves who are willing to collect on that cash.
Chip: I dont believe you.
Tammy: He's right, Chip.
Dale: Where did the bullets came from?
Tammy: Recusing me.
Gadget: You?
Tammy: We got separated, and I was captured. Later that night, Fernando came to rescue me, but there was a lot of gunfire involved. I thought he wasn't hit, but I guess wrong and now know better.
Jeanette: Super Squirrel does it again...
Fernando: Jeanette...
Jeanette: It true... How many times you got hit?
Dale (Interupting Jeanette): I count 27 bullets here...
Jeanette: Each time you got hit, it was like getting hit with a full swing from a baseball bat. So the klevar lining stopped the bullets from penetrating, you still have the shockwave hitting you hard!... 27 times...
Fernando: Try about 11 or 12. Each fragment you count is part of another fragment. As for you Chip, neither of any of the CD/RRs wants to wear the equipment I hand out, use the guns I distributed, or care to follow my orders. You're great for logistics and intell gathering but not for an actual rescue. This is not Nimul's garbage tech we're dealing with. As for you Jeanette- when you're high on adrenaline, you dont feel the pain.
Jeanette: Hmph!
Chip: We have our ways of doing things...
A voice from behind speaks out.
Voice from behind: Those ways would have gotten the lot of you captured or killed. There can only be one leader in a mission, and I'll give Fernando that respect.
Chip: Figures that you got the captain of this ship on your side, Fernando.
Captain RR: Fernando does not 'got me on his side', as you would say, Chip. You just better understand that there are forces in this world bigger than yourself. If you dont like it, you can turn in your hat and coat and go back into the wild begging for peanuts from humans.
Fernando (as he starts to walk away): The next time some cafe friend ask for help in getting a family member rescued, I'm going to tell them to go screw themselves into a knothole... Right now both Bink and Claes are in Milan; how they got off this ship is beyond me.
He manages to get some considerable distance away from them, Tammy turns around and trots over to Fernando.
Tammy (before going): Now you see what you guys have done? (as she runs to Fernando): Fernando! Wait!
But Fernando does not, he just keeps on going. In the cover of darkness, he goes through one of everal open doorways and quickly down a flight of stairs to the hangar bay. He sees several mechanics looking over the learjets, and walks over to them.
Fernando: When do you think it will be ready?
One of the mechanics: For what?
Fernando: To take off from the deck?
Mechanic: These birds are not build to take off from deck.
Fernando walks under to inspect their work, and then grabs a wrench and starts to points out a few things.
Fernando: Reinforce the landing strut here, here and here. Then add 4 JATOs at the base of the tail, here and 2 each on the jet pods there and there. Now, I want this bird ready to fly and on the deck for launch by 0600 hours!
Another Mechanic: But that only gives us 3 hours!
Fernando: I dont care how it gets done, get it done!
First Mechanic: You're not our captain, you cant order us around.
A voice from beind speaks, its Captain RangerReady (again).
Captain: But I am. Now you heard the man, he wants it done by 0600 hours- it better be completed and inspected by 0530.
First Mechanic: Aye, Aye, Sir! Hal, Get the others to help, we got a lot of work to do here!
The mecahnics start to scurry about, gathering tools and materials to do their work on the LearJet.
Captain (To Fernando): Where did you learn about airplane mechanics?
Fernando: I learned a little of everything in high school and in life in general.
Captain: I see. Just do me a favor- dont boss my crew around. Thats my job.
Fernando: I'll be more diligent about it, sir.
Captain: Good... now get out of my hangar bay before I decide to be not so nice with you!
Fernando: Alright, I'm out, I'm leaving, I'm walking out the door...
After Fernando leaves, Captain RangerReadywalks over to his bridge. He silently walks over to his chief of security and whispers into his ear. As he wispers, the security chief's eye grow wide in disbelief.
Captain (whispering to his security officer): I want to you explain to me how 2 little girls could have gotten off this ship and take a docking transport back to Italy... I told you I wanted this ship secured, and if your men cant seem to keep two little girls from leaving, then perhaps I should switch your crew with the Kitchen Police!
Security Chief: I'll get on it right away, sir. I'll repremand those involved!
Captain (almost yelling): YOU BETTER!
The Security Chief runs out of the bridge and starts investigating the incident.
Back in Fernando's room, Fernando receives the text message, and plays the video in an endless loop.
Fernando says to himself: Figures the admiral would be a cyborg. These idiots cant understand that they cant take a new technology and use it as a toy for themselves. Well... this just adds to the problems we have, and looks like we have to deal with it again.
Voice at his door: You know you upset Tammy a lot.
Fernando: Who cares, Jeanette. Really.
Jeanette: It seems that you do.
Fernando: I only do when people see that the work needed to be done was done, and dont question as to how it was done. You and I give our best, and for what? To be interogated by a bunch of wanna bes? They can go 'F' themselves, I swear.
Jeanette: I think you're missing the point, Fernando.
Fernando: And what point would that be?
Jeanette: They are threatened by your abilities, and how you get the job done, your moral standings and ethics behind them...
Fernando: So maybe I should start demanding intimate favors of interpersonal activities as payment for each rescue that I do...
Jeanette: Do that, and you and I are through as Medical Rescue Partners.
Fernando: Then what is it?
Jeanette: You know what I already told you.
Fernando: I'm not going to disclose my Cloak & Dagger past. You knowing of what I did in those days, if word ever got out that you do know, puts you as a target to many out there who wants those secrets.
Jeanette: Those secrets are over a generation old, Fernando. What do they value do they hold to today?
Fernando: Oh really?
Fernando starts typing on his keyboard. After 5 minutes, the ship starts ringing bells and whisitles, with orders demanding closed quarters. A security gaurd runs by Fernando's open doorway and slams it shut, locking it.
Jeanette: What is going on?
Fernando: The ship picked up a nuclear missile on radar travelling at Mach 4, which is targetted to the ship itself.
Jeanette: AND HOW CAN YOU STAY CALM IN A TIME LIKE THIS!
Fernando: See you in heaven, Love... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... BOOM...
Jeanette looks at Fernando as the outside of the ship seems to have quieted down.
Fernando: As you were saying? These secrets are as valueable today as they were 25 years ago. And that was only one of them, I have thousands more.
Jeanette: You put the ship into a panick?
Fernando: You want me to do it again?
Jeanette: No...
Fernando: Understand, Love, that you knowing that I know certain things makes you a bigger target than most. I need you to be at my side when needed, and be able to go beyond your fears to do the things that are needed to be done. Do you understand that?
Jeanette: It is just that those things hard to do.
Fernando: So, you go through some discomfort. But in the end, you were able to do it. Look, despite your fear of flying, you help me fly a 737BBJ to Milan. As far as I seen, you were not in any discomfort at all. Now I need you to do this on your own, because I have other things to take care off...
Jeanette: Like what?
Fernando moves the laptop for her to see the screen: This.
Jeanette sees the video of the admiral's escape, as taken by the security cameras. He grabs at the bars and bends and rips them off his cage. Along the way, he kills several military security officers who there to keep an eye on him.
Jeanette: What the... Not even you cant match your strength with that!
Fernando: He's a cyborg, Jeanette, just like the little girls we are rescuing. And no, I cant match my strength against his, but at least I have brains and training, and I hope thats more then enough.
Jeanette: He'll kill you...
Feranndo: If he does, it was nice knowing you, Jeanette. I just want you to go do what I ask, and finish the rescue of the other girls. You know them better than I do, thats why I'm putting you in charge, and need you to pilot the plane to get them.
Jeanette: I dont like to fly, Fernando. You know that.
Fernando: Look, Jeanette, go beyond the fear, and use the options that you have. Be a leader, I've seen you do it before, I need you to do it again.
Jeanette: And where will you be? In case I need you?
Fernando: Until the admiral and I meet up, I'll be near by... But I need you to grow some acorns...
Jeanette: You mean... a certain part of the male reproductive organs.
Fernando: You know it cant be said, but you must.
Jeanette: How about you fly with DOS, and I be a passenger.
Fernando: And who is going to fly back, because I wont be there.
Jeanette: I figure it out when we get to that point.
Fernando: Dont stand around figuring, just do.
Jeanette: Fernando?
Fernando: What?
Jeanette: I dont know how to say this...
Fernando: Just say it.
Jeanette: Since you made me leader... I'm ordering you to not die on this mission. Understand that?
Fernando: You're ordering me...
Jeanette: Yes I am. And you better uphold that order to the best of your ability.
Fernando: And if I cant?
Jeanette: Well, a lot of people are going to be upset with you if you dont.
Fernando: I see. Looks like I have to do my best here, then.
Jeanette: Like you tell me so often- dont think, just do. Look.. I'll see you later. You better be ready.
Fernando: Aye, aye... ma'am.
Jeanette: Thats sir- to you.
Jeanette unlocks the door and walks away.
In the next couple of hours, the third part of the mission will begin, if there are no interuptions.

"She's got a point." said Fernando's laptop, suddenly.
Fernando eyed the laptop. "How long have you been listening?"
"Ever since your trick with the radar. I've got monitoring programs set up to watch for that sort of thing." replied the AI. "If you intend going up against a cyborg admiral, though, I believe I can be of some aid. I'm a lot harder to kill than a pure organic life form, and I think that you've gone beyond the point where me hanging around here pretending to be you is at all useful."
"You - broke into - Rachel!"
"Who's Rachel?"
"The laptop!"

Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -
As Hondo got the girls aboard the copter and got red situated by Angelica he handed Bink a note. the note contained directions to the hideout and what to do with the copter. Bink hopped in pilot seat and started the engine, Rico was copilot, and Claes guarded Red to make sure she took care of Angelica.
"Take off!" Hondo yelled as he jumped on the landing gear and held on to the door. Sirens went off as the hospital security realized that the copter was being 'borrowed'. As they rose into the air security guards and police ran out to the helo pad and fired at them. they were bad shots and the copter was rising too hight to be a good target. As the copter headed out, Hondo hit a button on the remote in his pocket that set off most of the charges.
"Head toward the air port!" Hondo shouted. Bink swung the craft at the air port where many fighter craft were busy getting ready to take off and hunt the copter. When they got close enough Hondo hit another button on the remote that set off all the airport charges, including the ones that were attached to the nose gear of the fighters.
"Head back." Hondo yelled to Bink. She gave him a weird look but did as he ordered. As they flew back an unexpected copter flew at them.
"Keep at them." Hondo yelled. Bink stone-facedly kept going strait at the craft.
When we get close spin 90 degrees." Hondo yelled. Hondo pulled out his .50 cal dragoon and cocked it. When they got close they saw the machine guns in the copter ready to fire on them.
*bounty hunters.* Hondo thought. *but not for long.*

Fernando
- - - - -
Fernando sends a message to CCC:
Code:
Jeanette may have a point, but the admiral is over 67 years old. Though most in their mid 60's can be strong and vigor, the Admiral is a thin scrappy kind of guy, and had health issues in his early 50's. I believe that at the time, the Admiral used the cybernetics to augment and lengthen his life and not his capabilities. Once after the cybernetics were installed, they were eventually upgraded for strength and ability.
I doubt you can find the files to his cybernetics and their eventual upgrades. Strapulate from that is witnessed in the video what those augmentations could be by cross referencing Grey's Anatomy ( http://www.bartleby.com/107/ ) for the norm, with today's technological advancements from medical university records and research (secret and otherwise). When you're done, get to the Enterprise by any means neccessary.
The sooner you can bring your rivietted tail to the Deck of the Enterprise, the better. Even if you have to conduct the research enroute.
We'll discuss stradegies when you arrive.
Fernando then answers Alex II's call.
Fernando: Yes, I understand the situation. Keep stalling them until they get fed up and leave when they receive new orders. I'll see what I can do from here.
Alex II: I'll my best.
Fernando: I expect nothing less. See you later!
Alex II: See you.
Fernando goes to his laptop and start typing into the UN Computer Network, making a few modifications of Italian Investigators' orders, and releasing Olga to Alex II.

Jeanette Isabelle

[quote="Fernando"]
Fernando: Those days are gone Jeanette. I'm no longer the super squirrel that I was in my youth.
Jeanette: No? Sorry Tammy, but I need to prove something.
Tammy: What?
Jeanette takes Tammy by the wrist and throws her hard off the edge of the ship. Instinctively Fernando spins and grabs the back of her shirt, while clawing the edge of the bow with his toes, indenting the metal for a better grasp. His reaction time being less than 1/2 a second.
Tammy stays quiet as she looks out on her new found view of the sea below her. Slowly, Fernando pulls and right themselves back to the deck of the ship.
Jeanette: See what I mean?
Tammy (in a nervous but relieved voice): Yeah, I see... what you... mean...
Fernando: That was uncalled for Jeanette.
Jeanette: It was, Fernando. You needed a reminder of that. Now I'm asking of you, to give back that trust that I have given you as your rescue partner. Do I have it?
Fernando: On two condictions.
Jeanette: No condictions.
Fernando: Then you wont get it.
Jeanette: Why must I give in so much- OK, what are the condictions.
Fernando: 1) You take over as leader, and have Tammy with us.
Tammy: I told you I'm not going.
Fernando: Bink Is Back With The Others, darn It!
Jeanette: OK, whats, 2?
Fernando: You fly the Lear back to Milan.
Jeanette: I dont fly anymore.
Fernando: You have to get beyond that fear. Just like you do to me about my problems, I get on yours.
Tammy: If I did not know better, I'd swear you two act like you're married.
Jeanette: We're worse than married. We're Rescue Mission Team Partners.
Fernando: You're still flying.
Jeanette: No, I'm Not.

Better yet, as I stated, you're now in control of this mission. You're in control of how it flows. I did my best to keep everyone from Deus Ex Machina the story. My next post will be my writing myself out of the story, and I'll think about resigning from the cafe entirely. Anybody wants to see me, I'll be in my chat.

Midnight Man
- - - - -
Midnight is fast asleep in his cabin on board of the USS Enterprise when RangerReady's voice coming from a speaker wakes him up, calling his name. "Midnight! Midnight!"
Still half asleep, the mouse heaves himself out of bed to answer the call. "Yeah, okay, I'm awake. What's up?"
"I've got order to evacuate everyone who's not important for our mission right now from the ship."
"Which means you want me to leave right now, right?"
"Not only that, I've got a special mission for you. Remember the silver Mustang?"
"How could I ever forget that bird?"
"It's ready to fly again according to the mechanics, and I'd like you to fly it away from here as soon as possible. Get dressed and to the hangar, further instructions will follow on the plane's radio."
"I'm on my way." Midnight quickly puts on his day clothes, takes his stuff, including his three guns, and leaves his room, heading for the hangar where he arrives a few minutes later. He is about to load his stuff into the Mustang's narrow cockpit when something strikes him. Looking behind the seat, he discovers packets of what looks like explosives.
"Midnight, you're there?" the radio comes alive.
"Yes," he replies, "but your team has forgotten some explosives in the plane."
"Actually," RangerReady explains, "they haven't removed anything. In our current situation, we can't afford having them on board this ship."
"And now you expect me to fly this bomb with wings to somewhere where it can't harm your ship?"
"Basically, yes. One unfortunate hit, and this thing would tear the Enterprise in half or even more fragments. Of course, once the danger's over again, I'll ask you to come back. Now get her to the elevator."
The size of said elevator amazes Midnight. A P-51D Mustang with fixed wings fits onto it easily. But he knew that the ship was home for two of its own Mustangs. As soon as the vintage aircraft has reached the flight deck, he climbs into the cockpit and starts up the Merlin V12 mill to move the old bird into position. All the way up he has thought about where to keep it until the danger is over, then he has got an idea.
"RangerReady, can you get me a route through French, and if that's not possible, international airspace to Propriano, Corsica?"
"Midnight, it's the darkest night there, and the Propriano airfield is lacking lighting aids! Why there of all airfields around us?"
"First, Corsica is French. Which means that whoever might try to attack me would have to attack France and risk a war. Second, it's on the western side of the island. Makes naval attacks harder unless they com from Sardinia. Third, it's a small airfield rather than an international airport like Ajaccio or Bastia. And fourth, I can see quite well in the dark, don't worry."
For a moment, the radio remained silent. Then the reply came. "Roger, it'll be Propriano then. Good luck."
--------------------------------------------------
Fernando
- - - - -
Fernando accesses his laptop and connects to his chronoserver at his place. He activates a time portal to teleport himself home.
After a couple of hours of tracking the whereabouts Admiral Donnelly. Somehow he finds the Admiral on the deck of the Carolina. Tracking him on the chrono server, Fernando goes into his weapons room, digging out a 16th century Samuri Blade given to him by he emperor as a gift in return for a favor. All others items he leave behind; just shirt on his back and the pants on his rear end.
With a few keystrokes, he teleports himself onto the deck of the Carolina.
Fernando: DONELLY! I'M HERE FOR YOU!
From above in the radio room both the captain and the admiral stepped out and look down at Fernando on the deck of the Carolina, armed only with a samuri blade. He was surrounded by several armed guards with their rifles pointed at him.
Captain of the Carolina: Shall I have him shot?
Adm. Donelly: No, I'll take care of him myself.
Captain of the Carolina: Alright, I'll have an es...
Admiral Donelly leaps off the balconey of the Radio room and down 90-some feet to the deck below. He lands hard, leaving a large dent on the deck where he landed.
Adm Donelly: I dont know how you got here Lone Squirrel, but here I am.
The Admiral reaches behind and takes a machine gun from the guard. He quickly turns to Fernando and starts firing. After the smoke clears, all that can be seen is the samuri blade standing on it end, its tip embedded on the wooden deck of the ship.
Before the Admiral can turn around, Fernando comes from above with an aerial round house kick to his jaw. The Admiral staggers back, and Fernando somersults to his blade, hopping off the deck railing and flying back to the Admiral, Fernando has his blade over his back for the kill.
The Admiral shakes off the blow, aiming the gun randomly in front of him. He pulls the trigger, hitting Fernando several times across his mid section. Clenching his abdominal musles tight, Feranndo does his best to hold back the pain just a couple of seconds, sending his blade onto the right base of the shoulder and down 1/2 way across to the left of his chest, slicing through the spinal cord, Aorta, heart and lungs.
Some the admiral grabs onto Fernando's throat and clutches at it tightly in a death grip. As he dies, Fernando drags his limp body to the deck railing of the ship and lifts his body over. Heavy with Cybernetics, The admiral's dead weight pulls against Fernando. Fernando fights back hard to get the body off him, but loses his balance. They both go into the waters of the Atlantic. The admiral's heavy cybernetics drag them both to the bottom of the Mariana's Trench. After almost 1/2 an hour, nobody on the Carolina sees either of them two surface.
This ends Fernando's role in Gunslinger Bink.

Then Two Air Force Jets were called by Alex II as they Intercepet the Bounter hunters jet and blast them too as giving Hondo a Clear shot to the meeting point

Hondo I. Sackett

Hondo smiles as the bounty hunters copter is blown to smithereens.
"One more point for us you SOB's!!!" Hondo shouts. "Ok, Bink nwe are close to where I left the pick-up. Get down to 25 feet." Bink pulled the craft down to a hover.
"Tell Alex II we still need to get Triela. I'll work on that. If they don't get you home and leave you alone, I'll come for all of you. I don't trust the CIA very far. Fernando was the only one I trusted. I'll miss him, But I believe he is not dead. He will never show himself unless he is needed. I respected him and was privileged to fight side by side with one of the greatest lose cannons of all times. Remember that. I will try to stay alive, but no promises." said hondo with a straight face. He then smiled and patted Bink on the arm.
"You be good, all of you, for me. Make sure the CIA lets Red go after an information alter. Now get to that meeting point. They know how to reach me if they need me." With that Hondo jumped from the craft and disapeared into the dark. The girls left him and made it to the meeting point.
Hondo got to the truck and raced to the ambulance, that he had hidden earlier. He change back into his black hat and duster, turned on cloaking device aboard the ambulance and drove off to regroup and rest. He did not return to the hideout. He knew the CIA would look for him there.
*for Fernando, I will finish.* He thought. *I just wish he was here. That J.I.! If not for her he would not have taken that chance*
Hondo looked in the rear view mirror at the city of Milan. *I'll be back.* He though. I still have a girl to save and a jet to retrieve, that has my copter aboard!*

Severe Weather Eddie
- - - - -
Lieutenant Commander Amanda Hasegawa's report of Fernando's death saddened Eddie. The fox had looked up to the squirrel in matters of espionage, and considered him a good mentor and leader.
"He was a good man," Eddie commented. It would be interesting to try ad deprogram the girls now, without his help.
But there was little time to dwell on that now. The matter of the USS North Carolina still had to be dealt with. Her captain was still locked in the ship's CIC and refusing to come out, even after hearing news of Admiral Donnelly's death. That was somewhat understandable, of course, since Captain Thorpe was going to be charged with treason.
The matter was further complicated by the fact that the Texas and her battle group couldn't leave station: there was still a rescue mission going on in Italy. And though the CIA didn't like it, Texas had been authorized by the Pentagon to assist in the operation.
So instead, the loyal crewmen on Carolina were steaming towards the Mediterranean at a steady 20 knots. In addition, the USS Montana, Texas's sister ship, was steaming up from the Persian Gulf through the Suez Canal. However, she would not arrive for another day, since passage through the canal was limited to 8 knots. Once she arrived, Montana would be able to augment Texas's firepower, and allow the battle group to more readily deal with any trouble from North Carolina.
Eddie did not expect much trouble from the commandeered battleship, since her fighting ability had been all bun neutralized. All that her traitorous captain could control directly from the CIC was her missiles, and Ms. Hasegawa was already on her way to making sure that those would be cut off, too.
So it was yet again that Eddie found himself in a waiting game. He could do nothing to help Hondo on his rescue mission; gunfire from the giant battleship would only exacerbate the situation. He did not know if there were further rogue Navy ships out there, waiting to pounce on Enterprise, so he could not leave to go challenge North Carolina directly.
Once again, the vulpine captain found himself up on the conning bridge, on the 09 level, staring out across the Mediterranean Sea at the coast of Italy. He looked over to Enterprise. Midnight was getting ready to fly the explosive laden Italian P-51D off of the carrier. Eddie wished him the best of luck.
There goes a guy with some serious guts, he mused.
As he looked across the battle group that surrounded the battleship, Eddie thought he saw a figure sitting atop the USS San Jacinto's flag bridge.
Evidently I'm not the only one who needs a quiet place to think once in a while, he thought.
The droning of a propeller brought Eddie's attention back to Enterprise as Midnight took off from the deck. The vintage warbird was catapulted off the carrier's deck and into the air. Midnight turned the plane away from the battle group and flew off to the west, towards Corsica. Eddie saluted the plane quickly as it flew by, and then went back inside Texas's conning tower.

Wait just one, cotton-picking minute. Don't you dare pin this one on me. I understand you have been through stuff, so has Fernando, so have I. Fernando may have been through more stuff than you and I pout together and this is from someone who was in a psychiatric hospital a couple of years ago. Nevertheless, Fernando knows better than to drop me from the sky, have me fly a plane, remove his glasses or put Tammy's life in danger; he did so anyhow.

I did not see this earlier; you are pouring yourself into this. So am I and so are others. Fernando is not seeing this. I appreciate you doing so.

I appreciate your comment.
I don't know who's right or wrong. i live my days one at a time. If I live through them I say, "Lord, I thank you for another day that I can use for you to help others" and if I do not live I can thank the Lord face to face.
I believe we have done well. I don't want to see folks broken up over this. I would take a bullet and/or a beatin' before I would see others broken up over stuff like this.
Hondo
P.S. I would like to see Fernando reconciled and back with us to the finish.

Hondo hid the ambulance well.
*even Fernando could not find me.* he thought.*I got to quit dwellin' on that.* He looked over his HQ/home/vehicle.
*an ambulance. I am stuck in this country with a girl to save and a price on my head and I'm in a souped up ambulance.* He sat down on the ground and laughed. He laughed until tears came out of his eyes and continued to laugh until he could laugh no more.
* I haven't slept in days, have no food, low on ammo, have a price on my head, our leader just got 86ed, the CIA now wants me out of here, and I have a job to finish in a country I am not familiar with.*
Hondo decided that he needed sleep first before carrying on.. He was dog tired, and wore thin.
*I'm tired of waitin'.* he thought."Enough is enough! after I get some sleep, It will be a redue of High Noon. Call me Gary Cooper if ya like, but it is time for guns to be blazin'. If I go down. . .well, I'll worry 'bout that latter.*
Hondo laid down in the back of the ambulance. He set the alarm and when to sleep.

The tone of voice that "Captain RR" took with the leader of the Rangers isn't one I'd use on a friend...especially Chip Maplewood. I respect him. Not a gripe, or a rant...just making a point.

it is funny to hear y'all say that. you know I have not conversed with Fernando outside of this story. once or twice he had me not know somethin' I do know, but that is just somethin' he wouldn't know. For them most part he kept me very well in character. I appreciate that. how he did it , I'll never know. The sayin's my lookin' for somethin', takin' a lot of junk with me as I might needed it, the crazy glue, etc. That is me to a T. even the growlin' I'm generally a friendly person, but i will growl if it is needed friend or not. Sorry you all are upset about all that. I know Fernando did not do it a purpose. Don't hold it agin 'im. I have been blessed with a long fuse. but many I know how have been through less have a lot shorter fuse and believe you me, troubles in life do not always lead to longer fuses, just usually ones harder to start, but hit it right and boom.
I'm not sayin' it's right, but it is one of those things that make us what we are.
