<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;"><strong>Ari Redfern  "Patch"</strong></span><br/><br/>Never one to stand on principles, Ari shrugged and took the club from the Major?.  She lined up her shot and swung at the white orb, sending it sailing through the shining light of the gate.  Hoping she didn't conk anything on the other side, Ari did have to admit to herself that it did feel good.  Turning to the crowd of people she nodded her head and began, "Hey all, I'm Ari Redfern. Air Force brat and like many of you speed freak.  Been a pilot for about 9 years now, and also like to tinker with planes too. For that reason, there are some that call me 'Patch.'  Feel free to do so if you like.  If you have any questions, just ask."  She waved and jumped down from the stand.<br/><br/>Walking toward Alex, Ari offered her services in trying to read the ancient script.  "Major Winters?  I have had some experience reading Ancient Script.  My doctorate is in Cultural Anthropology, but I also studied some ancient languages as well."<br/><br/>
