Ocasa had proven to his team to be a credit to them. He had also worn the Phekayu on several occasion’s and now showed them all the various features plus tricks he had learned! He looked at Ceopa, about to say something, when Sadowan realized to her horror she had to stop him and then proceeded to drag the other males off, only to be interrupted by Ceopa, who looked at them and smiled. “I give my team males, consent to talk to me.“
‘Phew!‘ thought Sadowan, somewhat relieved, not desiring to lose merits over this! Sadowan explained. Ocasa rolled his eyes, shook his head. Told off by her, for not learning more about his fellow Kets. There was nothing he could remember remotely 'fellow' about her. More as he jested 'fallow'. That got him another telling off! Surprisingly he did not react to Sadowan scolding him. It could have been Corky, earlier; talking to him on the merits of TEAMWORK! Apart from the team appreciating his knowledge of that suit!
They all moved back, for him to continue. “Ceopa you’ll have to remove the headband. Your hood, won’t fit securely across your head. Also it may interfere with your defensive shields face screen. You will have to remove it! Likewise any of you.“ He glanced at Ornatha. “You can lose that decorative hair clip! Way too big.“ Ornatha giggled as she removed it. Ceopa seemed hesitant, Fre stepped over, then activated his hood, to show her how close it came to his head, When he activated the shields face screen?
“Its very good and really does stop the rain, from soaking your hair and you have such lovely hair Ceopa, it would be a shame to get it soaked I don’t know what the rain on this planet contains but back home, it can make your hair quite dry and bleach the color!” That did it! She removed the head band and placed it with the other items in her locker! Sadowan moved over to Fre. “Thanks for that “ He glared at her. “I didn’t do it for your benefit I did it for the team, nothing like appealing to a females vanity if you want something from them!“ He grinned., turned away to join the others.
Lilia had been a little nervous. OK a LOT nervous, as she tried to get the hang of the Phekayu. It was not fitting as it should. True all of the Kets had been kitted out with the correct sizes, well default sizes for them. She was close to tears, when Doona came over then went over the suit with her. A few tweaks and the suit, shrank to fit her. “It’s always the same, getting used to these things. I go to some of the new Techzecs (technology exhibitions).I’m used to seeing how the things work.“ He grinned. “I remember when I was very younger how I wanted to try on this Aycon suit?
Well a Sarcoj, pushed me out of the way then grabbed the suit? Put it on. What the oaf did not know? It has an anti gravity tag on it. Plus Graviton stabliliser circuit? I pulled the tag, tore it out and the anti gravity kicked in.
He started to bounce. Bump, bump! It was the funniest thing, I’d seen in ages! Nor forgetting everyone else watching, in hysterics! Total humiliation. Took over twenty earth minutes, before they could get him, back down to get him out of the suit.“ Lilia was LAUGHING. As Van Ea came over, she went quiet “What’s so funny?” Doona glared at her. “Nothing of your concern.“ "Well, we have five minutes, to get to the main room, before the transporters leave." They would take them to their various places in the strat zone. Margise and Corky were waiting for them, as they filed in, they looked at each other and smiled.
Corky moved close to her. “Now you’ve seen more of them working as teams, has it changed your mind, as to who you think will win?” Margise grinned “Narya’s team.“ Corky looked at them, they were certainly well organized and yes, Narya had plenty of experience. "So you don't think, Serenia will be an enormous asset to Cistera's team?" Margise was not letting him get away without answering HER question. “So come on what is it that you know, where Narya is concerned that I don’t?“
Corky looked over at Narya then back to face Margise. “You should have done some research on your team leaders and maybe, maybe understood why they were chosen as leaders. Narya is an Elite Kal Heiron, sister to Juanna?“ Margise gasped. “Of course.“ “Rumour has it that she has inherited her sisters talent for being intuitive, adaptive and devious. In two battle scenarios’. REAL life engagements, she proved herself as being fearless and unbeatable against three of the very best, battle hardend Prime Kal Heiron Veterans. She will view Serenia as a challenge in itself."
“So Narya will win?“ Corky said nothing but a grin spread across his lips. “Fair is fair, who do you think will win?” Corky said nothing. Margise wondered if he was right, perhaps Narya had hidden depths, but so had the others including Cistera. Coupled with Serenia's skills? Little mouse Cistera, could adapt, improvise and overcome, very nicely. As a team, she was still not convinced that Narya could outmatch them. All in all it would appear Margise was the adjudicator for the winning team. Corky was still grinning!
The teams were lining up before him and Margise. As she stepped forward to join her two teams and make their way to the zimps, Corky whispered to her ‘Claria’s team.’ Margise glanced at Claria’s team they were shuffling and seemed disorganized, plus how small Doona and Lilia were and how nervous Lilia was. She turned stepped back next to Corky to hiss. "NOT a chance!" "A case of Iridium ale?" "You're on!"
