~~~~~~~~~<br/>In<b><i>Sue's Suite...</i></b><br/><br/>The military woman walked in and headed to the office and placed the carrying case on the desk, she waited patiently for Sue to follow her. She then snapped open the locks and lifted the case open. Inside the case was a letter that she handed to Sue without looking at her and then unsnapped the straps that held her armor and blades in place. She then turned to the side for Sue to observe and inspect before she was to be dismissed.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: blue">Ms. LaRae asked that ya read the letter in your own time. If you would take inspect your gear and let me know if all is in it's proper place, then you can dismiss me, Ma'am.</span>"<br/><br/>The armor had been cleaned up, dings in it repaired and metal parts polished to a sheen. The blades were taken with the same care, cleaned up and polished. Ah, they were smart enough not to sharpen the blades, just removed the dirt and grim and added a layer of shine to it. They seem to also do some repair work to the sheathing mechanism. Almost like new.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
