<div class="floatright">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/mw-nmfkmpkarimonero_zps55a1bf27.jpg)</div><strong>Kari Moreno</strong><br/><strong>On the tarmac at the airfield</strong><br/><strong>Tagged: Allia, Samson, Damian</strong><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Santa Prisca Desert, Librios<br/>Deneb Algedi, Benjamin District<br/>Draconis Combine<br/>1 January 3145</strong><br/><br/>Kari smiled up at Allia, giving her a small nod. “Nice view from up there?” She asked as a joke. Technically her<em>Knight’s</em>cockpit was higher up, but it was a world of difference between sitting in a ‘Mech and being outside in the air. And besides, perched on the<em>Ghost’s</em>shoulder while watching the world go by actually seemed sort of fun.<em>Ah, simpler times. One of the drawbacks of being the boss is your lack of free time to do the fun stuff</em><br/><br/>Her eyes were momentarily caught by Sampson walking past to inspect the damage to his ‘Mech, stripped to the waist and as sweaty as everyone else. That provoked another small smile, one that suggested an appreciation of the man which went a little beyond the professional. She waved him over to the small group, noting also Damian’s arrival and comments on the battle and the opposition they had faced.<br/><br/>“I’d say that they simply didn’t know what they were getting into,” Kari offered to Damian. “They let themselves be baited by the recon lance and out-ran their support. By the time they got to us, we already had the numbers and put them in a hard place to recover from.” She shrugged. “Does help that I have fantastic people under my command as well who did a fantastic job of pulling it all off” She gave another nod to Allia. “You did a great job there as well of pointing Strike lance in the right direction. Hell, that flanking move probably did more to win the battle then anything else”<br/><br/>“As for the salvage…” She looked around. “Let the surviving Crushers who have ‘Mechs go with them. It shows we’re not heartless bastards, which helps our rep. True, that leaves them with just the bashed-up<em>Banshee</em>and<em>Hammerhands,</em>but it’s something. Definitely make the<em>Calliope</em>a priority. It looks like we could either get it working again easily or at the very least get some resale out of it”<br/><br/>
