It was created by Manned Mars Mission 1 (3M1) originally, to house the twenty men and women of that first expedition. It was intended as a temporary structure.<br><br>When 3M2 arrived, the first thing they did was expand the dome, extending it downwards and reinforcing it with Marscrete. They replaced the inadequate garage with the massive hangar on the Maintenance and Engineering block, and then replaced it with a transparent polycarbonate observation dome.<br><br>Nearly all the furniture and equipment in the base was brought by the 40 members of 3M2, mostly flat-packed. It was shuttled down from the 3M2 spacecraft and assembled on Mars over a period of three Earth months.<br><br>The main dome has five floors.<br><br><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>Level one is a transparent observation dome above the Martian surface. There is NO access to the surface via the dome.</li><li>Level two has a lounge, the Snickers Bar and emergency airlocks. The ceiling of Level two is two metres thick.</li><li>Level three has a fully equipped gymnasium, games rooms, showers, squash courts.</li><li>Level four has the main recreation hall, dining hall and kitchen, together with access to all other sections.</li><li>The lowest level is mostly plumbing, sanitation and life support systems, electrical switch gear, etc. The typical basement level of a large building. It also houses the janitorial stores.</li></ul>

He spun around in his suit and threw his hands in the air, thinking he was alone as he shouted. "YEES! I'm a bloody Marsian!" He broke down into a laughing fit as he continued to spin around and bouncing. He truly felt the awe inspiring feeling of being amongst the first on the new frontier. His eyes shone and his face beamed as he walked over to see where his workplace would be. He was eager to begin his art of cuisine. And even more eager to see his fellow cook, Zara.

The rooms the end of the hall had just a bit more private feel. I hadn't really decorated it yet as I had to get to work. Tonight the people would be hungry and wanted food and tomorrow morning they wanted breakfast so it was time to get cracking. When I got into the main dome and up the stairs into the kitchen I saw Daniel and gave him a hug.<br><br><strong>"We're finally here huh. Can't believe we're actually on Mars."</strong><br><br>I had wrapped my arms around him while standing behind him and my head rested against his back. Back in training we had become very close friends, maybe more. It helped that we both worked in the kitchen and were from the same country of course but even if we weren't I think we would have gotten along fine.<br><br>The kitchen wasn't small but it certainly wasn't big either. What our main concern was, was the fact that we had to serve a la carte. That meant prepare the food as it's ordered. Breakfast would be a buffet but for that we needed bread. While my normal rhythm would probably be to sleep a lot at day and then get up in the evening to help in the kitchen and spend the night baking bread and preparing breakfast, for now, I was still in my daytime rhythm. <br><br><strong>"Alright let's get started. People could be here for food any minute now, now that everything is starting to run and work."</strong><br><br>A few of the basic ingredients were already here and because this was the only place where people could food I decided to get some quick flat bread in the oven to go with the soup Daniel was going to make to keep the first people happy. Once all other items were brought up here we could really fire up the kitchen and get cooking.

My stomach growled again at the smell of food from the kitchen, but that could wait. It was almost time....<br><br>I considered making and announcement on the PA, but then thought, no. I wanted this one for myself and my sweetie.<br><br>The lift door opened after what my implant informed me was one minute - the time it took to travel up from the basement where it had been sitting on lock-down for thirty years - but felt more like twenty... We slipped in and I pushed the button for the top floor.<br><br>I slipped my arm around Allie and bumped my hip against hers. "You have an amazingly rejuvenating effect on me, girl!" I told her softly.<br><br>After what seemed an eternity the lift pinged and the door slid open. We were on the top level. In front of us, in the gathering darkness, through the two foot thick glass, I could just make out the dark bulk of M&amp;E with it's occasionally flashing warning lights on the corners and the RF antenna that reached for the sky.<br><br>But that wasn't what we were here for. Lights had come on around the marscrete wall that the glass dome was embedded into and I killed them with a verbal command, "Lights off". We were plunged into semi darkness, and I guided my girlfriend around the central cylinder that housed the lift, to the far side.<br><br>We were now facing slightly north of West...<br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/38/Sunset_new.jpg)<br><br>I stood behind her right by the dome, grinding my hips slowly against her backside, my chin on her left shoulder, my breasts pressed hard into her back. One hand found her right breast and began squeezing it gently. The other slipped down to her crotch, cupping her through her fatigue pants.<br><br>"Isn't that beautiful?"

Her hand dropped to playfully squeeze her honey's ass, "I try... you'll have to put up with me for a few decades now." Laura's hand rested on the nicely rounded ass while the lift rose through the levels and grinned at the sound of Lou's stomach growling, "Poor baby's hungry? We should set up room service."<br><br>The lift doors opened and once again Laura found herself pulled around the central hub until they faced the direction that her sweetheart wanted; the lights going out. Laura pressed her backside back against Louise and grinned, "Naughty, naught-" she shivered and sighed softly, contentedly with the contact of formiliar hands on her body and she couldn't stop her thighs from parting slightly. "Lou..." and she stopped speaking again at the view before her.<br><br>"Oh." was all she could manage to say at the magnificance and she leaned back and reached back to run a hand along the colony's leader's thigh through the fatigues. "Now... THAT was worth the trip. Thank you Sweetie." She smiled a rare, personal smile and angled her head just enough to press her lips to Louise's in appreciation.<br><br>She sent a short, to the point message, "Can you lock the access?" The implication, she hoped, clear in the way that the kiss turned more passionate, demanding.

I found her belt buckle and unfastened it, then the button, the slowly slid the zip on her fatigues down. Funny how in over two hundred years the only thing to come close to replacing the zip-fastener was velcro, and that didn't quite make it. I managed all that with my right hand while my left slid inside her shirt, undoing the fastenings and cupping her right breast again, in the thrillingly lacy bra she was wearing. I set the room's sound system to play "Suck me Now", by Hodgpodg, a late 21st century romantic revivalist band. The sweet voice of the lead singer filled the air and I sank my teeth into Lou's neck, just below her left ear. She was going to suffer for her behaviour today, with a very visible hickie!<br><br>My fingers found the top edge of the bra that I knew she was wearing to turn me on, and slipped it down, popping her right breast out. In the mean time my right hand had quested inside her open fatigues and found the same lacy feel to her panties, which were wonderfully damp. "You naughty major", I moaned into her ear. "You're going to have to wash these and water is rationed!" And with that I slid muy hand inside them, feeling the adorable soft fuzz that covered her mound, before delving further. My index finger gently eased her labia apart and slid between them into the hot wet depths, quickly finding that sweet little bud that i loved so much to play with.<br><br>"Are you going to be a good major and let your CO pull rank on you?" I whispered into her ear.

She felt a tremble run through her body and let out a soft sigh. "No fair." she whispered with as much sincerity as a politician on the campaign trai; the ache to be touched nearly overwhelming.<br><br>Her let out another soft sigh as her right breast was exposed and the nipple hardened fully in the cool air of the dome, "I thought you would like my choice in that..." Her breathing was already quickening when her finger slipped into the lacy panties and inside her wet folds, "Oh yes..." she hissed softly and reached behind her to press her palm into her Colonel's crotch and rub just hard enough to be teasing. "I can't play." she said on a soft gasp of air and shivered again, "please... there..." She laughed softly as she nodded, "Y-Yes ma'am! God Lou, let me turn around at last!"

So she wanted to turn around, huh? But I was enjoying this position. Her fingers had found my crotch and were giving me something to grind against, but other than that my sweet major was helpless. "No. I want you to stay like this for now." I told her firmly. We didn't have a dominant/submissive relationship as such, but I insisted on being in charge. I would relinquish control to her during our love making sometimes, but for the most part I was the top.<br><br>I gazed into her eyes, in the reflection in the glass, and saw the slight disappointment, and acceptance there. "I want you like this, lover, I want to feel your body against mine and be able to see it reflected in the dome" I smiled lustfully at her and eased her pants and panties off her hips with both hands, abandoning her breasts to do so. As soon as they were cleat of the sensual curve of her behind, they slid down, pooling about her boots. My hands travelled North, unbuttoning her top and slipping it from her shoulders, throwing it to one side and then moving to her back to unclip the bra. It too fell away and my lover stood naked to her ankles.<br><br>"Keep your boots on", I whispered, as I admired the sight of her reflection in the glass.<br><br>The sun dipped below the horizon and the swift Martian twilight was over. "Lights, one third", I muttered and the lighs around the rim came up to a dim, romantic illumination, giving me a much better reflection to leer at. "Put your hands above your head and lean against the dome, and spread your legs", I ordered. The inner pane of glass would be cool, but not cold, insulated from the freezing temperatures outside by a thin layer of total vacuum as it was.

She wasn't a submissive, but the relationship was one of give and take in the intimacy department. Sometimes, Laura took the lead, sometimes Lou did. The older woman enjoyed being the top and since Laura... Allie only to this woman, was fairly easy going in bed, she enjoyed the bottom most of the time. She met Louise's eyes in the glass and let out a breath, "I thought I didn't play fair." Not that she could complain with a finger rubbing her so skillfully in the most sensitive sspot on her body.<br><br>Allie couldn't be shy in the middle of a church, she was an attractive woman and she enjoyed people noticing it. She had expected to loose her clothing at some point... it's hard to make love with them all on. "Remind me to talk to maintenance about the temperature." she muttered and accepted the restriction of her uniform pants wrapped about her boots even as the cool air caused a slight shiver."Yes Colonel." she said sweetly and as the lights came up a little, she leaned foward, placing her hands against the cool surface of the windows. "You know, we're leaving evidence." she said with a playful tone and pressed her hips backagainst lou and spread her legs as far as the clothing would allow so she could maintain her balance. "Before I let you out of here, you're going to scream louder than I am." She grinned, the 2 meters of flooring would muffle the best her lungs could produce.

I growled appreciatively, admiring the gorgeous woman spread naked before me. I started slowly, now I had her where I wanted her, crouching and pushing my tongue into that sensitive spot in the small of her back, that I'd found one long, dark, boring afternoon in Antarctica. As I did so I quickly stripped off my own clothing. As I stood up again I trailed my tongue up her spine, leaving a glistening saliva trail. I was naked from the waist up as I reached the nape of her neck, and began nibbling there. My pants and undies joined Allie's on the floor and we were both naked but for our combat boots, socks and dog tags.<br><br>Now, I pressed my front hard against her back, my thick, dark bush tickling between her cheeks. My breasts, a lot less droopy in Mars' low gravity, pressed hard into her back and I began rubbing myself against her, moaning softly in pleasure as I did.<br><br>Now they were free of the task of removing clothing, my hands began the more enjoyable assignment of exploring the naked body of my lover. I reached up and ran my hands down her arms fron the wrists to her armpits. I knew she was ticklish there tjhough and I wanted her to stay still, so I didn't dwell, instead running my palms lightly down her sides, enjoying the familiar curves, reaching her hips and continuing South, down the outsides of her thighs. <br><br>When my hands were as low as they could get I had them retrace their journey, but slightly to the front. They slid up Allie's thighs and over the ridges of her pelvis, my fingertips making her tummy jerk in. Further up and the traced the outline of her wonderfully hand-shaped breasts, before continuing up to her shoulders, up her neck and into that unruly mop of ebony curls. In fact the only time I'd ever seen her hair neat was when we were all spruced up for the official pre-mission publicity photographs and the organisers had employed a top Paris stylist to do a number on each of the council members.<br><br>I tangled my fingers into the soft curls and buried my nose in them,. She smelled of sweat, chemicals and plastic, but I didn't care. She was mine.<br><br>Down again. My hands travelled over her face, trailing lightly over her eyelids, touching her lips, down the soft quivering column of her throat, across her collar bone and down her few upper ribs to those soft mounds. Here I paused. I wanted to enjoy the feel of them in my hands. I squeezed firmly, teasing her nipples between my fingers and thumbs, lifting and cupping, enjoying the soft roundness of them, before abandoning them, moving down. I smiled at the way her nipples, already rock hard, had just doubled in size as I watched my hands travel South.<br><br>They reached the oasis of her belly button and paused, dipping fingertips into the shallow pool in her tummy before moving on again. Finally my exploring fingers reached their ultimate destination, slidling lightly across the soft fuzz on her mound, hiding it briefly from view, before dipping between her legs.<br><br>I eased her lips open and sighed contentedly. "Base cleaner to Main dome level one for a spillage." I joked, almost killing the mood. "Oh Allie I love how wet I get you", I grinned and pushed two fingers from each hand into her well lubricated hole.

The 31 year old brunette had enjoyed more than her fair share of men; it was almost unavoidable when you could be called into&nbsp; an operation that could be your last with nearly no notice. You learned to live life as fully as you could and Allie had worked hard to live every minute.<br><br>Lou had been different almost from the first moment though. Not her first female lover, Lou had understood a central facet of the SEAL's existance and just how sensitive Allie's skin could be in just the right places. Laura had been totally unable to hide even the most secretitive of spots as the older woman had thoroughly learned and exploited all of them. There were few secrets between them and no physical ones at all. "Lou-" she murmured and trembled again, "You're going to cause a spill in a minute." she breathed out. She smiled as she felt bare skin against hers and moved her rear slowly back and forth across the patch of curls tickling her ass.<br><br>Allie gazed into the glass between her hands and into Louise's eyes as she let her lover, her love play her body like an instrument. "When I get my hands on you I'm goin-" She let an explosive breath out and clinched her muscles around the invading fingers, "God, I've missed that!" She was snug after so long without contact, but she was more than wet enough to accept the digits. "Just four?" she asked with a mischievous grin forming on her lips; her juices flowing down her lover's fingersas her stomach tightened and she shifted again to press back against the body covering hers.<br>

For example, while having an orgasm was still fantastic, it was no longer the main reason for me to have sex. Rather, I took greater pleasure in handing out orgasms to others. This was not generosity, it was to do with the fact that my old worn-out pussy took a lot longer to get heated up than it used t, and I often lost interest before reaching my climax, especially if my partner was much younger and had already cum several times.<br><br>I generally didn't have this problem with Allie. She had rarely failed to make me cum during the six months we'd been fuck-buddies. And now that it looked like we had a chance at something permanent, suddenly my body was refusing to cooperate. Oh, I was turned on, don't get me wrong, but I knew he signs. I could tell that it would take an hour of gentle foreplay on her part before I was going to climax. <br><br>Not that Laura was opposed to spending an hour on me; she'd done so the first time we made love and I'd explained the problem, and several times sinse, but at this particular time and place, we probably didn't have that luxury. "Just relax and enjoy, sweetheart, don't worry about me, you can do me later." I whispered, then nibbled delicately on her earlobe.<br><br>My fingers inside her, I chuckled softly. "Oh, four is quite enough for what I am going to do to you, babe."<br><br>I pressed my thumbs firmly on either side of her clit, squeezing it between them, then slowly eased my left hand downwards so my fingers withdrew from her. My right hand remained steady. Then, slowly, I pushed left in while pulling right out. Then right in and left out. I repeated this over and over, getting steadily faster. My thumbs rubbed her clit alternately even as my fingers fucked her alternately. There was always something moving in and something moving out and I felt her juices flow as her muscles began to twitch.<br><br>as I reached the fastest rhythm I could manage that at, I felt her trying to resist, to prolong the sensation. I wasn't having that. With a growl of lust I murmured "Cum for me," and began nibbling at that most sensitive spot on the back of her neck, just below her implant's external socket.

"K-Keep that u-Up-" she gasped and the glass before her fogged with the caress of her warm breath against the cool surface. "G-gonna be ah-god! ah mess i-in th-E floor." the labored words coming as her breaths left her lips.<br><br>Allie wasn't inexperienced with her lover's tactics or her fingers, but she would happily tell anyone who passed by that no one had ever gotten her off as fast as Louise Cotter; the woman knew her body far, far too well and enjoyed doing this to the weak-kneed woman too much. Laura had never been accused of being a quiet lover, but neither was she a screamer. she could be exceptionally colorful in her laungage, make sounds that if she was aware of it might of embarrassed her to no end and even keen like any banshee, but rarely had she experienced a climax that pulled a scream from her body... until now. <br><br>She resisted the instinctive response of her body as the older woman worked her with too much experience and pushed her to the very edge faster than the brunette could of expected. "Lou..." she groaned through suddenly clinching teeth and her hands balled into fist. "plese Lou..." she wasn't sure if it as a plea to stop, or for more. Finally, the newly promoted major threw her back back and screammed into the dim interior and felt her knees give out. "God yes!"<br><br>With a heaving chest, she began to slide down the smooth surface, falling to her knees with a bowed head; her thighs slick with her juices. "Y-you... kn-knew... my neck.. " she couldn't finish the thought as she rode the waves of aftershocks for several seconds.

I said softly, as I lowered Allie gently to the floor. "Allie", I breathed her private name. To the rest of the world - nay, the rest of the solar system, she was Laura Hicks, but to me, in private, like this, she was Allie. <br><br><hr><br>"Lieutenant Laura Alicia Hicks, Ma'am" The sergeant had said, popping his head around the door of my office in Antarctic Training Camp Two. The camp was brand new and had been built to house and train half the larger number of candidates for the colony mission. ATC-1, where I had trained for the third manned mission all those years ago, was ten miles away, with another one hundred and fifty candidates. I was in nominal charge of ATC-2, along with one Commander Yoshi kanatogu of the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force. There were two others of my rank, I knew, over at ATC-1, an American and a South African. All four of us were candidates for the post of Mission Commander. Everyone expected Lt Col. Charles Blumann to get it, as he was the US military's choice, but I was the only one with actual experience on Mars. In a way, I was grateful to the damned Chinese for starting the Third Oil War, because it meant that the only other survivors from 3M3 were too old to go. If it hadn't been for that war, and the twenty year delay it put in the Mars programme, I wouldn't have been sitting in hat office.<br><br>"Oh?" I had looked up, expecting a big beefy sailor-girl. This was to be my acting head of security as the previous guy, a Major Josef Goldblum, Israeli Defence Force, had just washed out of the program for religious zealotry. He had made a passing comment about Mars being the "New Promised Land" which was overheard, taken out of context, reported, and the next day he was told to pack his bags and escorted off base. A pity, he was a nice guy and a good officer.<br><br>So when this petite elven featured cutie slipped into my office I was gob-smacked! "Well, hello, Lieutenant. Take a seat..." I didn't return her salute, as I wasn't wearing my cap. She stood there, confused and I suddenly realised, grabbed my cap from my desk, crammed it on my head, returned the salute and took it off again, all in ten smooth moves... <em>Damn, what the fuck?</em> I remember thinking. I was normally much more composed. Maybe it was the uncanny resemblance to... NO! I would NOT think about her!<br><br>I had serious doubts, I was willing to admit, about her ability to do the job. She wasn't as short as she first appeared, and those baggy USN fatigues concealed some hidden muscles, but she just looked so delicate. And those eyes......<br><br>I had torn my eyes away from hers. "Laura Alicia Hicks. That's a pretty name. Alicia". I smiled at her. I was falling for her, which was a bad idea. But what the heck. Even if I got on the mission, the chances are she wouldn't. If neither of us did, we could work something out. If we both did, well, cross that bridge when...<br><br>"Laura, please?" She insisted. "Not even my mother calls me Alicia."<br><br>"How about Allie, then?" I giggled. I think she knew at that moment what I wanted, and she smiled back.<br><br>"Just between us, and just in private, Wing Commander". Suddenly she was all business but I knew, looking in those eyes, that she felt as I did.<br><br>Later that day, we met up in the gymnasium and I put her through her paces on unarmed combat. Oh the arrogance of that statement. <em>I</em> put <em>her</em> through <em>her</em> paces? Fuck! She demolished me! I'm good, I can hold my own against PT sergeants, but this little SEAL chick wiped the floor with me. I lay on the matting, the breath driven from my body once again as she crouched on my chest, a hand sword like at my windpipe where she had stopped the killing blow, and decided to cheat. I smiled, reached up and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling her down. She resisted at first, looking almost panicked, until our lips met, then she dissolved onto me and I rolled her over and lay on top of her for the first time. "Allie", I husked, "Be in my room at twenty two hundred zulu, that's an order..."<br><br><hr><br>I smiled and closed the memory file again, storing it back onto the archive chip in my head. "Allie", I said again, and kissed her softly, tasting her mouth, teasing her tongue. Then I stood up. "We better get dressed and get some food, babe. There's a lot to do still and some of it can't wait until tomorrow." I reached for my clothes and smiled at my lover. "Look, I know it's early days for anything, but ... we're all expected to produce at least one child. Do you want to be mother to mine?" I blushed, and added quickly, "Give it some thought anyway."<br>&nbsp;<br>I turned away and pulled my clothes on, hoping that the red uniform would hide the redness of my face.

Her seemingly small stature coupled with her pixie like features had gotten her passed over as harmless more times than she could count... but she was also absolutely ruthless and drove herself harder than any other member in her unit because of that perception. She could... had... killed men two and three times her size with nothing more than her hands, although she could use a knife or a magazine nearly as well... It was what the whole unconventional warfare unit had been designed for... it was a wartime tool and SEALS did not shirk from the job.<br><br>The fact that she had gotten onto the Mars Mission program spoke highly of her contacts as much as her abilities, but she didn't look a gift horse in the mouth. She had made it all of the way to Antartica and was just feet away from the office of this particular facility's commander and she was fighting down the first case of nerves she had experienced since Hell Week. The sargeant announced her and in her best boot camp drill, she marched in and saluted the... woman behind the desk. "Loutenent Laura Alecia Hicks Reporting in Ma'am." she had said in even tones, but her mind was on other things and she forgot to drop her salute. The woman was older, but looked to be in good shape and was strikingly beautiful. The blue-gray eyes were both like and different than her own darker gray iris and she could feel the heat radiating from her own body build by just being in the older woman's presence.<br><br>The sparring match had been a test of her abilities; there was no other word for it after the first 30 seconds. The woman was good! But she was also a pilot and hadn't spent the time in the mud and the blood like Laura had. Her experience helped a lot, and Laura was impressed enough to understand that if she gave an inch, she would be the one on the ground and that would not get her the job... so she played every trick she knew... except for one. That damned kiss! The next thing Laura knew she was on her back and pinned. She laughed softly and met the woman's eyes again, "I think I can do that Ma'am." The nickname Allie had already moved into something more personal than Allie had wanted, but she would take what life offered wherever she could find it... afterall, it was entirely likely that one of them would be left on Earth and the immediate was all that either of them could offer to the other. Besides, the woman had Laura's heart racing already and she hadn't had a real lover in way, way too long.<br><br><hr><br>Laura returned the memories to the storage area of her brain and&nbsp; sighed softly, "I'll get you back Lou..." She grinned mischievously, "You'll have to sleep sometime."<br><br>She got herself shakily to her knees and reached for her uniform trousers; the panties were too wet to wear and it wouldn't be the first time she had gone commando... Hell, she liked the naughty feeling it gave her sometimes.<br><br>She froze at the question and swallowed hard. She didn't hesitate, but simply said, "Yes." to the question. There wasn't any need to say anything else as a child would, Laura was sure that Lou knew, tie them together in ways that only parents could be linked. It was more than an offer to produce a kid, even if there would be more than just the one she would carry with other women of the base for Louise,it would be her lover's&nbsp; first.. and Laura's. While on active duty, a kid... a family.. was impossible. Even in the 22nd century, a pregnant woman was immediately discharged and Laura had valued her career too much. Now... here... things could be different for her.<br>

Was she going to say no? Could I stand that? But she just said yes, simply and factually, as if I'd asked her get me tomorrow's duty roster. And some how, that was enough. We knew each other well enough by now that a simple word like that conveyed more meaning than an entire book. I smiled. "Thank you", I said softly, putting the same amount of meaning in. Oh, I had no doubt whatever that there would be plenty of women lining up to have the base commander's children, but Laura was going to be first! I was physically incapable of being mother. Oh, they had reconstructed my womb following the original hysterectomy, the one that left the scar across my belly that had grown with me. The reconstruction had happened when I joined the air force. But the shock of ejecting from a fighter at Mach 2.2 during Oil arW2 had driven the reconstructed organ against my pelvis and left it useless, and a second removal and reconstruction was simply not possible. Or so the docs had told me.<br><br>And until now, it simply hadn't been important. I would go see the medical staff, I decided, see if there was anything they could do.<br><br>Right now, though, I grabbed Allie's panties, held them to my nose and breathed in deeply, blushing and making her blush in turn. "You smell so good!" I muttered, and tucked the lingerie into the pocket of my own fatigues. "You can have them back later..." I told her<br><br>I accessed the bluetooth node again and sent it a message: <tt class="bbc_tt">Command override. Authorisation: Cotterpin jib one seven eight eight.

"Lets go eat babe"<br><br><hr><br>The dining hall was deserted, which surprised me, I would have expected it to be filling up by now. I wandered up to the serving counter, also empty, and called out "SHOP!"

It's a matching set that cost me a small fortune." She didn't count the cost, she wasn't eexceptionally well paid, but she could afford an occasional trip to Victoria's Secrets (by 2120, Vicky didn't have many secrets left!) but sneaking the things into her pack without some inspector arching an eyebrow at the big tough SEAL would of been too much for her.<br><br>She shrugged and buttoned her top without the bra, then she spotted it several feet away and scooped it up, stuffing it into a pant's pocket and blushing slightly. "I've wanted to have a baby since I was old enough to know about them Lou... I just didn't think that I would have the chance before now."

As an airforce pilot I took a very dim view of parachutes. "You're mad!" I told her with a grin. "Jumping out of a damaged aeroplane strapped to a giant pair of bloomers is bloody stupid, but that? That is sheer insanity! I have never, ever been able to understand why anyone would actually do it for pleasure..."<br><br>Just then one of the cooks arrived and I smiled at her and ran my face recognition program. There was a time when knowing everyone under your command by name was actually impressive. But then, I'd served under officers who never bothered to use the easy software method of learning them. "Good evening, Ms Karlsson. Soup will do just fine and if I'm not mistaken I smell flatbread? I hope we can get some yeast cultures going for you in the next few days. You're the miller as well, yes? Well, by the smell of it, you and Mr Storm have done a bonza job on the soup, and given how short a time you've had to get organised I think you're doing great."<br><br>To be honest, I was hungry enough to eat a horse, and I would eat the soup even if it was foul, and I would tell her it was the finest I'd tasted, simply because right now everyone was in a strange place, nervous as hell, trying to adjust to not being able to see the sky, and some may even be regretting taking this, the biggest step they would ever take. I was about to nudge the crazy sky-diver beside me but she accepted a bowl of soup and flatbread too, before I needed to.<br><br>"Thank you", I grinned at Karlsson. This was what I had smelled cooking on my way up to the dome. It had made me hungry then and after the exercise I was famished. And it smelled heavenly. I collected a spoon, a knife and a small pat of butter and headed for a table, then glanced up at the huge screen Laura had mentioned. "Hmm. Let's see..." I accessed the screen's node, opened it's menu and chuckled. "You're in luck!" I grinned. "Not the Army Navy game, but Superbowl one five five!" I giggled, "Or Cee Ell Vee, to give it its proper title." I fast-wound through the opening credits and pre-match build-up and started the play on the opening kick. Tampa Bay were playing Seattle, apparently, and I watched the first few minutes of the game, then shrugged. "The Wallabies would make mincemeat of them! Give me Rugby Union any day!"<br><br>I giggled, holding Laura's free hand as I ate one handed. Suddenly I noticed a little red dot in the corner of my vision. I'd been blinking at it for a while to try and clear it without realising wI was doing so, but seeing it superimposed on the flat screen made me realise what it was. I pulled up the message:<br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=148833.msg6786791#msg6786791">Quote from: Dashenka on 20-08-2012, 19:39:06</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><em><span style="font-family: courier;" class="bbc_font">Commander I have a request I would like to talk to you about.

She didn't have the access that the mission leader or the colony medical department might have, but she had enough to form basic connections. She could of used her implant, but it was an exercise that kept her mind sharp and more tradition for her. "Thank you Zara, the soup and flat bread sounds wonderful; haven't had real food in so long that anything more substancial probably wouldn't sit well." She smiled and picking up the bowl and bread, she took a healthy sniff, "Smells wonderful and on short notice. Now, if we could just get a pizza delivery&nbsp; system set up, the world would be perfect." She winked and managed to secure a pad of what would soon become a luxury item as she couldn't see cattle being on the list of animals bred on Mars... She had eaten goat cheese more than once and while she prefered cow, goat would work, as well as the butter.<br><br>She settled into the seat beside Louise, linking fingers and dipping the bred into the soup. "Jumping was part of the job. I did my job and if that meant jumping from an aircraft with 100 pounds of equipment and an air supply, it's what I did." She grinned, "But I enjoyed the feeling of weightlessness, you feel a little like God looking down on the clouds with nothing between you and them but air." <br><br>She knew that a lot of pilots didn't get the thrill, and she was ok with it. Jumping on Mars would be a different situation... very different.. and that part of life was behind her, "Keeping jump certified here will be difficult. I would have to make 6 jumps a year in an nearly non-existant atmosphere, in an E-suit and light gravity... and near hurricane force winds." she shuttered and took a bite of the now soaked bread. "Mmmm, want a taste?" she asked with a waggled of her eyebrows and a laugh.<br><br>She moved her attention to the game and arched her eyebrows at the comment, "Now, you want&nbsp; to talk crazy... no pads and they make these guys look like little girls!"<br><br>She ate with surprising gusto and felt like she hadn't eaten anything so good in... well... months. "How long do you think it'll be before we see our first crops?"

We didn't have much choice in produce until hydroponics was up and running so setting up a menu wouldn't really work yet.

When the holo-screens would be installed in the cafetaria, the surroundings would be a lot nicer and I really wanted some plants as well when hydroponics was up and running. Right now the place looked cheap and shabby but I wanted to make the place a bit more posh and pleasant to spend time in, rather than a necessity.<br><br>"When we're done here, we should start for breakfast.

She could still see a number of people sprinkling a facility designed for over 100 and chose a place to sit. "Good morning." she said and smiled. "How do you like Mars?"<br>

Still oddly groggy since basically falling out of the cryo chamber...she wont forget that anytime soon. She hadn't felt like that in her entire life...even when spinning record G's in the experimental aircraft back on earth. The falling out of it naked was, well....interesting as well. She was on all fours when that giant of a man, Lieutenant Devlin Painter, in the pod next to her simply stepped out and walked off...she could definitely feel his eyes though.<br><br>Amber had made her way around the complex while everyone was getting comfortable. When she got to the visible enclosure...she went to her room to unpack her things and came right back before the storm hit, but even it was mesmerizing. She unzipped her fatigues wrapping the top around her waist revealing her small sports bra top hugging her firm, pirky, D cup breasts, and settled into the couch (see avatar for effect). Her hair pulled up into a pony tail...she looked down at her wrist-worn computer (she uses her implant but prefers wrist technology and quick access to other things that her implant just can't do...yet) and realized she should be looking for her new commander, but she had a bit still...there didn't seem to be anything pressing...so she relaxed...enjoying the orange, glowing swarm surrounding her...

Darien joked to himself, running a hand through his hair. The trip had been long, and now that he was finally able to stretch his legs, he was now busy looking around trying to learn the lay of the land. Actually, he was hoping to try and meet some of the other people here. "At least I'll get some exercise." he mused to himself, as he went to look for a map. He originally hadn't planned to come to this place, but it was what he needed. He was just hoping to forget her....maybe even meet someone knew. But as he thought to himself, he felt his stomach rumble. "Impatient are we?" he said looking at his stomach. He decided to follow the directions and look for food first, then he'd find the rooms.

She slowly leaned forward, pushing herself up from the overly comfortable and soft couch...she looked back it..."damn you" she said too herself..."too comfortable!"<br><br>She was obviously having some problems getting over the cryo, while she had been sneaking about this whole time, she felt sluggish...her head sometimes going for a swim. Although she always seemed to be able to shake off any dizziness. Maybe she needed some food? <br><br>Chills ran over her body, suddenly cold. She looked down, her pirky nipples pushing out at the tight fabric of her issued sports bra. She giggled thinking, this 30 year old place may work right one day...she figured she would be busy in thinking about that. Amber reached down and untied her fatigues from around her waist, putting her arms back in and zipping it up...another tight uniform...sigh...<br><br>She made her way over to the elevator, at least it was working, she thought to herself. Stepping inside and hitting the floor for Mess Hall, it closed the door and started down. Another dizzy spell hit as the elevator quickly descended. It seemed like a long time before it finally stopped, making her dizziness slow, not totally, but enough for her to actually walk. <br><br>Looking around she saw that there were actually a few people already there. She made her way around the containers of nothing that seemed very appeasing in her tight fatigues...picking up a fiber bar and some orange juice. Not the best combo but it would have to do for now whether her stomach liked it or not. She looked out...this felt like military school all over again...a bunch of eyes...no familiar faces...Then she saw her sort of new boss! Hicks and Amber had become friends back on Earth, but Hicks had really became a source of strength and education for Amber given their age difference. She smiled heading toward her table.<br><br>She was sitting with a few others...the Woodridge's was it? She had seen him back on the mothership moving around with a girl of the same last name? Weird she originally thought...a couple? Brother and Sister? She shook the thought off and approached Hicks...<br><br>"Mor....Afternoon Ma'am. Room for one more?" She smiled at the two sitting with Hicks.

It's just that we've only been here a day and we're still getting things running, plus one third of the catering staff is still in cryo up there!" I pointed towards the ceiling, and by implication, the sky beyond it and space beyond that.&nbsp; "So, Laura, any movement on the surface visits?" I asked, then explained, "Major Hicks and I were planning on allowing limited access to the surface, weather permitting. Basically, running a sort of tour-bus service on one of the rovers. It'll let the security folks feel useful and stop everyone else getting claustrophobic."

"I might solve the terra forming problem if only to get some cows and chickens on the surface" knowing of course the process was a tad more involved then solving his dining issues.<br><br>Ultimately he choose a couple of slices of bread , two eggs and something that looked like shredded steak ala mushroomish sauce thingy.<br><br>He wanted to sit with others was desperate to but such a thing was beyond him, he understood astro biology like few people in history had ever , he had put three bullying US delta force troops on their arse at MCMurdo Sound&nbsp; thanks to Krav Maga and he was almost as good as his own neighbour at Vibro Blading and that guy had been a two time world speed skate champ, he was good at all these things and yet women scared the crap out of him while at the same time he was desperate for one to actually talk to him...as well as do the other thing women did.<br><br>Eli sighed and carefully lifted an egg on his fork only to have it fall apart as he was about to put the egg onto his mouth, as his eyes looked down it was to be greeted with egg yolk spreading around the front of his top. With no napkin he used his fingers to get the worst of it off his clothes and hoped no one would notice.

Darien said, unable to not be at least slightly flirtatious. Xander was adorable with his bashfulness. "Hey nothing wrong with that and as long as you enjoy it." he nods, that playful grin still present. That blush was going to be hard to ignore, Darien always enjoyed shyness. Something about people being bashful drew him like a moth to a flame, it was his Achilles heal. The way Xander played with his food just made him look that much more enticing. "I can handle it." he said, flexing. If Xander chose to look, he'd see a scar on one of his shoulders. "And no I haven't. I was going to look after I ate."<br>

Col. Cotter, The Woodridges, Capt. Valintine</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Doing:</strong> </td><td> Being social</td></tr></tbody></table><br><hr><br><br>&nbsp;Laura grinned and put the bowl back down, “You can catch the show just about every evening at about the same time… I’m sure that you’ll get to see quiet a few before it’s done.” She ran the names of the Woodridges through her personel records via her chip; she hadn’t remembered a husband and wife on the mission.. ah… divorced. She hoped that it wouldn’t lead to trouble… the nearest marriage councilor was a long, long way away… and there weren’t facilities to haul one or the othe in for a DD. “How are the two of you getting along so far? I know that the space is a little confining for now, but we’ll have plenty of room by the time that the first generation of true Martians start to pop up.” She smiled slightly, wondering how she was going to manage a pregnancy, child and her job.. eventually. She shot a glance at Louise, debating if she should shoot her a message or not.<br><br>Laura looked up and nodded, “Hello Captain, if no one’s said it yet, Welcome to Mars.” She motioned to an empty chair,”Please, join us… this is a free fly zone. We won’t get hung up on formality.” She watched the young woman settle into a chair and wondered if the flight suit she was wearing needed to be let out before it popped a seem and spilled a admittedly nice pair of breast out. “Don’t forget that we have new uniforms here.” She motioned down to the red, orange and pink camo patterned BDU’s that she was wearing. “Green won’t blend in too well for us military types.” She said with a soft chuckle… “We should have several sets in stores, but you may have to look for them.”<br><br>Laura picked up a fresh baked slice of bread and spread butter over it. “I’ll be sending you a note about a more formal meeting later and talk about your duties for me.”<br><br>Laura turned to look at Louise, “I thought that it would best to let everyone settle in before we start running all over the planet… although I’m going to put a notice out tonight about the option.” She took a bite from the toast and chewed before swallowing, “I’m also sending out a warning about the rules concerning surface trips… no one alone, and so on… would you like to get a tour Colonel?” she ased, her eyes filling with mischief for a moment. “I need to test the emergency shelters before we let people out with them.”<br><br>She made her decision and sent Louise a quick message, “mind if I bring a toothbrush over? A fresh uniform would be nice too… smooch.”<br><br><br>

He smiled as Darien flexed and Xander snuck a look.&nbsp; "After we eat I could help you find it.&nbsp; What happened to your arm?" Xander was a bit giddy inside.&nbsp; He couldn't resist a man with muscles and just the right amount of body hair.&nbsp; In the looks department Darien had it all, hopefully he had a personality to match.

Yes, he was going to like it here on Mars after all. Cute, bashful, Darien couldn't help thinking about ways to hang out more with Xander when not on the job. He didn't miss the attempt to be sneaky when Xander briefly admired his pecs. "That'd be great. I need to take a shower and settle in before I get on the job tomorrow." he said with a nod. He looked towards the scar and looked back with a bit of a thoughtful look, as if remembering something. "A mining accident, took a nasty hit but at least I shoved someone out of the way. It was worth it, plus now I have a story to share for dinner conversation." he said with a chuckle. The look in his eyes said that he was being playful, but the incident in question had been a bit more serious than he let on.

Darien said in high voice, with a cheesy expression of feigned horror. Then he relaxed with that charming smirk. "Thanks for the heads up." he winked. He sorta looked a little distant, never really wanting to take too much praise. He just did what anyone would have (or should have) done. He quickly deflected the attention back on Xander. "I'm sure you've got plenty of great stories you can tell me later." he said, leaning in just a little to see what Xander would do. He finished his food soon after, moving to stand and follow the cute little Xander towards the rooms, enjoying the view on the way.
