Mission #1 Part 3
"Are the mics working?" Madeline demanded.

The locol techie looked at her nervously. "Oh yes. They might be old, but they were made to last through bombings. A little dust wont hurt them."

"Ok. Put them on speaker. I want to hear this."

"Yes, ma'am"

"Hi, Im Birkoff." he smiled shyly.

"Hi Birkoff. I'm sandy and this is Jess." She looked at him and then around at the others. "So what are you studying here?"

"Computers" Birkoff immediately answerd

Jess grinned "Oh really? I am too!"

The two of them seperated a little bit and began to talk about the courses that they would study and little technical things that interrested no one else.

Katoa'a, Gap, Adriana, and Majken all began to place their orders at the bar.

"Ummmm, I think I'd like a strawberry daquiri" Katoa'a said. Everyone looked at her. "What? Im allowed!"

"Uh-huh, ok."

Everyone else ordered their drinks and they started talking about the school, where they were living and how to find your way around the city. Within an hour Katoa'a was completely drunk and was swearing to anyone who would listen that the bar was moving and maybe there was an earthquake. Birkoff was dancing with Jess and he was also pretty drunk. The two of them were talking about their computer skills. Sandy was looking pretty jealous, but wasn't saying anything about it.

"Ummmmmm, Gap?" Katoa'a looked at her.

"Uh oh. Ok, I'm taking Kat to the bathroom. Ummm, where is it Sandy?" Sandy gestured over to their left. "Ok thanks. We'll be back soon." Gap steerd Katoa'a toward the bathroom.

When they got there, Katoa'a leaned against the cold tiles and sighed. Gap grinned at her. She was still operating on 2 daquiris. One thing about Katoa'a was that she could handle alchohol very well, and when missions had been common things they had always let her play the drunk. She never seemed to mind.

"You doin ok?" Gap asked

"Ugh, yeah. I love daquiris though!"

"Yeah I know. But no more! We need you to NOT pass out! Ok?"

"Yep. I'll play that I got sick. I don't want anymore, right?"

"Good. You ready?"

"No, give it another minute. I don't like Sandy. She seems so, I don't know flaky or something."

"Yeah I know. And Jess dosnt seem like the type to be in section, does she. I mean shes, well, nice. And besides knowing too much about computers shes normalish. Sandy is kinda hidden though..."

"Yup." Katoa'a moved over to the sink and splashed some water on her face. It smeared some of the very litte makeup she had on, but that was ok. She and Gap got ready to leave the bathroom, Gap with an arm around her, when Sandy walked in the door.

"ok, now we can really talk. So talk..."
