|| Mission After-party || Part Two
Gustav had finished his shift about an hour ago and was off the next
day so he decided to go out for a drink.
As he made is way along the promenade he saw in the distance Captain
Rojac turn into a bar, as he approached the engineer heard a small
speech from the captain that ended on "Rounds all around. Put it on
the Chimera's tab" so he decided to join the party.
He headed into the bar and had a quick look around, he noticed Anya
talking to the captain with a serious look on her face he also noticed
Jade in amongst the crowd, after getting a pint he approached the
Marine Captain "So whats the party in aid of" he yelled over the noise
of the fighter pilots.
"Well for me to welcome home the crew of the Chimera and catch up with
old friends like you." Jade smiling, "and then for the people who were
on the last mission a chance to lay back and relax." Jade said smiling
handing Gustav a beer, "so sit back and just enjoy." Jade added as she
finished her first beer and grabbed another one.
"Thanks" Gustav said now holding two beers decided to down the first
one in one go.
There was a loud tapping noise from the stage to the back of the bar
and a loud squeal of feedback from the abused microphone. Anya stood
on stage with a few pilots and fighter techs the bar's holo-emitters
creating instruments on the stage. "Okay people to get this party
started proper we're going to have some live music to kick things up a
notch. We've got a 3 song set of tracks we've covered. Second up is
a song called 'Immortal' by a band called Adema, Third up is 'Between
Angels and Insects' by Papa Roach but firstly we've got a song by a
guy named Marilyn Manson called 'Fight Song'. So when we get to the
chorus and I pump my fist like this, I want you all to pump your fists
likewise and shout 'FIGHT!'. Okay lets do this!!!" The riff started
off light but quickly turned heavy before Anya started singing.
Jade started to feel a head ache coming on so she decided to step away
from the main center of the party and watch from a distance. Ian
noticed Jade stepping away from everything he made his way over to
her, "you okay?" He asked looking concerned.
"I'm fine Ian." Jade said giving him a reassuring smile, "just a lot
is going on and a lot of emotions as well just need a minute to gather
myself go have fun." Jade said glad to have him as a friend.
"Alright just come and get me if you need anything." Ian said smiling.
"I will." Jade said picking up a water bottle that the bartender had
set out along the bar.
Gustav has always liked the hard loud music from the 20th and 21st
century as it had more energy about it and listening to it he couldn't
help himself, he pushed his was to the center of the crowd and started
jumping around and pushing people (mostly fighter pilots) around as
they were doing themselves.
Nanee had never been to awards ceremony before. In fact she had gone
to nothing like this before when she was based on Earth. Only back
home, she usually had at least one other person to share it with.
Maybe she'd lighten up and just let go for one night.
Anya started pumping her fist. "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
The Captain chuckled as he leaned up against the bar with his new
bottle of beer. Where Anya, a Trill from Erassian space, would have
gotten a hold of antiquated Terran hardcore music from pre-third world
war days he did not know. But it was a comical site to see. The
exaggerated anger, the overdriven bass and guitar, the chaotic drum
rhythms - they were all signs of a culture that was growing
increasingly agitated before the anger erupted in the devastating
third world war.
Rojac watched a the crowd in front of the stage started pumping their
fists, shouting, and jumping to the beat of Xerxes' tune. And he
contemplated the similarities between Earth's devastating war and the
war they were currently in.
Anya started pumping her fist. "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" The song ended "Yeah! That was some
good shit. You want some more???"
Gustav although tired out from all the jumping was still full of
energy and raring for more (I'll have to get Anya a drink for this) he
thought to himself while yelling out "YYEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH".

Anya to continue. Whilst most of his squadron were shouting
encouragement for a genuine legend of Erassian Pilots he was simply
giving support to one of his few true friends. Oddly whist anyone
else who had moved from serving the Alliance to another power had been
seen as a traitor, Anya was almost treated like a missionary preaching
to the heathens spreading the Alliance's views within it's bloated
forebearer.
"I can't hear you!!!" Anya taunted
support of the next song. Ironically his vocal support of Anya was
likely going to cost him an opportunity to try and get lucky. His
voice was one of his charms and as he was going to be croaky after
tonight he thought she owed him one.
"ALRIGHT HERE WE GO!!!" Anya launched into the next song.
Nanee was feeling thirst creep up her throat. Probably because she
was usually always a nervous wreck. She decided to turn towards the
bar to soothe her senses. As she rounded an extremely excited group
she had bumped into someone once reaching for the bar front.
"Oppsie.."
clothes. "Active crowd this lot. Be careful not to get knocked over.
Regulations are all good and well but they tend to be far less
effective during shore leave." He turned back to the bar after
turning away from the somewhat abashed young AMO. "Two more of the
same...and whatever the young Doctor wants. It's going to be a long
night for the bar staff I think."
