[QUOTE="Kevin Perrine, post: 1673479, member: 20347"] Feeling the comforting hand hit her shoulder Sally instinctively puts her hand up to meet her big brother's, gently pausing her cheek on his... [color=paleturquoise][b]thanks Jackso........ [/b][/color] Sally remembers her place and embarrassingly straightens her head pulls her hand down quickly and jams it into her flight-jacket with the furry rabbit's foot charm... [color=paleturquoise][b]err, uhmmm.... thanks Mr. BullsArt-Sir...[/b][/color] Sally begins pulling together rig-ropes to attach to the inner werks of her flight-harness, trying to fill her uncomfortableness with the work of tying off the net lines. She hadn't done that in awhile... mistaken someone for one of her brothers... It happened back on the base a month or two after word came back about her family. The lab guys were always nice about being called another name by accident, but after awhile they stopped conversations with Sally - not wanting to make her feel bad... But it was probably more for them than her. [color=paleturquoise][b]I... I ... didn't mean to... ummm, my brother, my oldest brother - his name is ... umm.. was Jackson. He was a Lt. Col., got shot down in the war... same with my other brothers and dad. [/b][/color] Sally glances to see if Paul was annoyed with her... [color=paleturquoise][b]...I mean... it's just ... Jackson - he always told me... he made sure that the others didn't make fun of my ideas, no matter how lame-brain they were. and well... I'm sorry Sir, but for a minute there... well... I hope you understand is all..... I won't let it happen again. I know the big brass frown on the whining. [/b][/color] by this time as she's talking Sally's already ripped and stripped a cargo net without even thinking about what she was doing... grabbing leathers, canvas and mettle grips to retro-fit a large baglike hang-net to hold the others. To comfort the others (as she so often tried to do) Sally began explaining the process of what she was doing... The names of the knot ties, showing everyone interested in watching the different bits she was using to attach the net... asking the others to hand her certain bits, not because she couldn't get them herself - but more to help bond them as a team....... getting them involved with the plan, asking for their help. She did it subconciously, it was just the way she was raised... and to some it might even feel patronizing, but Sally didn't mean it that way... she just did it. [color=paleturquoise][b]So... Mr. BullsArt-Sir, how long have you led the team? [/b][/color] Sally hadn't known that the others were brand new to the team just like her. The others, they'd been together when they met her so she'd just assumed that they'd trained together for awhile... [color=paleturquoise][b]Mr. Atlas and Lily... are they always as quiet?

[color=paleturquoise][b]Don' worry guys.... I made onea these back in Frisco to scoop up pumpkins for the fall-fair not moren two years ago!![/b][/color] As she smiled the biggest smile anyone could manage. White teeth, dimples and all, Sally decided that it was best she didn't tell them about how all the pumpkins ended up smashed...... that'd only make them nervous about jumping out of a perfectly good airplane without a parachute. ;) [/QUOTE]
