Gall Force:Finally peace
chapter 4

One week later
    
Matt had finally accepted that the story the women told was true and kept 
asking for a chance to pilot one of the Bronzs, explaining that he was 
interested in military hardware of ALL types.

The ladies started to expand the hanger by two underground levels 
to store gear and to install a small fusion plant, they then could use the 
main floor of the hanger for more living and parking space and make 
a workshop for Mal.

the digging was performed by bronzs, at night, to keep any possible 
witnesses down and then shoring installed in the lift shaft to keep it 
open.

The material from the shaft was hauled off during the day with rented 
trucks, after the shaft was finished exacvation was started on the two
levels, with EVERYONE taking turns digging. 

Rachel had gone to a scrap metal dealer and bought 2 or 3 400 gallon 
propane tanks, for hauling the crushed rock up the shaft, and enough metal 
to make some tools for the Bronzs to use  and when the exacvation of the 
two levels was done, except for how the floor needed to be finished and 
the conduit runs up to the hanger. 

Cathy now needs to get the technical manuals and the ship storage 
chart from the escape pod.

Shelly was back from the Hospital, getting around in her wheelchair and the 
lift had been installed in the hanger for her and a ramp into the 
apartments but she would need weekly check-ups to insure that her leg was 
healing properly.

When told that new area was being dug, Shelly thought that the Blossoms 
computer could be placed there and a T-1 line ran to Starleaf Computers 
to help in the debugging work, Cathy told her "great minds think alike",
explaining that the idea had already been proposed.

Mal was still at the Hospital because she had developed an infection after
her operation but should be discharged in a few days.

The new areas were 100 feet down, the first level was the same size as 
the hanger with a large lift between the two, the second level was about 
half the size of the first, being that the fusion plant didn't need as 
much room.

Toil and Ail could maintain the plant by themselves, providing power for 
the Computer and the hanger so Mrs Ross wouldn't have to pay for the power
and Eleanor put forth the idea that the plant COULD supply the 
apartments, remembering her promise to Mrs Ross.

They also planned to set-up a small medical center to help Shelly and 
Mal heal a little faster but not so fast that the Hospital would grow 
curious about the pace of the recovery.

That evening Rachel, Cathy, Denise, Derek, Chet, Toil and Ail took the 
"Enterprise" out to the wreck site, where Lucy waited, underwater in a 
Bronz, to shift equipment to the surface.

Lucy calls up to Cathy to ask just what should be done first "the first 
thing should be the recovery of the technical and equipment manuals, so 
we can see just where the items we want are stored, also the manuals will 
tell us where it is safe to cut through the hull, as we need to".

Lucy and Rachel agree and Cathy tells them that the books SHOULD be in a 
case on the main deck, where they all escaped from the Blossom

Rachel asks "but what if their water-logged?" "there are ALSO memory chip
copies stored there, Toil and Ail have built-in readers for them" Cathy 
says as Rachel suits up, checking the camera mount on her helmet "Lucy, 
you getting this?" as she waves a hand past the camera. 
 
She is but wonders "The image is fine, but what about the difference 
between the air and water?", Cathy answers "Your on-board systems will 
compensate for that, I mean,  you CAN see with the bronzs 'eyes', right? 
I'll run the feed through Ail up here".

Rachel is now ready, Derek hands her a water-proof floodlight and gives 
her a swat on the behind, she waves a finger at him and smiles, then moves 
to the side of the boat and dives in.

After getting down to the ship, Rachel finds the window that was shot out 
then enters the hull and looks around "the bookcase SHOULD be by the hall 
door" Cathy comments. "You should be able to move the case intact. if you 
cut through the bulkhead with the cutting charge I made, then, Lucy should 
be able to pull it free".

Rachel swims toward the door , seeing that the local sea-life had started to
move in, then sees the bookcase, mounted on the bulkhead, she takes the 
explosive from a bag at her hip and attached it to the bulkhead all the 
way around the cabinet and, trailing wires, exits the hull.

Once outside, she triggers the charge, as Lucy watches the cutting "UH-OH, 
it didn't cut all the way through".

Rachel swims back in for a closer look "Rats, the bottom charge didn't 
fire". 

Lucy moves the Bronz to the opening and examines the hole "I could tear it 
free. if I make this opening bigger, I then could reach the case, Rachel, 
clear out of there and let me try".

Rachel exits the wreck and moves off to 20 feet as lucy moves in.

The Bronz grabs the top and bottom of the window frame and forces them 
apart by about 3 feet, allowing the upper half of the Bronz to enter the 
hull, Lucy reaches out to the bookcase and rips it free and then tells 
Rachel to head for the surface and she'll bring it on up, planning to 
surface on the sea side of the boat.

She sets it closer to the opening, backs out and reaches for the case 
again, carrying it to the surface, where the others can pull the books and 
chips so they don't have to carry the case ashore and they find that 2 or 
3 books HAVE suffered water damage.

After that is done, Lucy lets the case fall back to the sea-floor and heads
the Bronz back toward the hanger.

As the boat nears the dock, Toil and Ail start scanning to see if there is 
anyone near enough to see the Bronz, the closest contact is a freighter 
about 2 miles off-shore, Lucy emerges from the sea and RUNS back to the 
hanger (can you say earthquake?).

It is full night as the boat crew ties up and disembarks, carrying the 
books to the hanger, when they enter they find Lucy checking her Bronz 
for damage and there is a temporary barrier rail around the lift shaft, 
2 other Bronzs are missing and the sound of breaking rock can be heard, 
echoing up the shaft.  

After several days of studying the plans and charts of the Blossom, they 
find all the items they need to retrieve, but Cathy makes as observation
"The components were NOT made to be water-proof, we may suffer total 
failure in reactivating anything, so we have to have the 'Roids run tests
on EVERYTHING, if any parts have failed, we MAY be able to to get 
replacement parts from the nearby stockpiles".

Amy asks "Nearby stockpiles?, I thought that base in the pacific had all
the remaining Solnoid equipment and we damaged that behind repair"

Rachel answers "IT was and we did, but NOT all the gear 'we' brought with 
us was there, the 'Cattys' moved as much of the lose stock in and around 
Nova Scotia, for emergency use by us and the 50th ranger squad, I think 
we can get SOME help by looking over that equipment for parts".

After finishing the floors on both levels and the conduit runs up to the 
hanger, they moved all the heavy equipment to the first level so they could 
park their cars and motorcycles in the hanger, then started installing a 
workshop for Mal, so she could modify and maintain the vehicles and mecha.

They first took the sensor platforms from the top the pod, to see if they 
could be modified for use as a security system for the buildings.

They then started recovering other items from the Blossom, starting with 
the computer and medical systems, Cathy and Miti fixed up a cutting torch 
for underwater use, so with Rachel providing a live video feed of the 
object to be recovered, she could cut it free, if needed, then Lucy and 
Derek could move it ashore or up to the boat, and, after getting it all to 
the hanger, Cathy, Catty, Miti and  the Helproids  checked all items 
for possible damage from saltwater.

While Cathy, Catty, Miti, Toil and Ail were doing that, with a idea that it 
SHOULD take about 5 days to check everything, Rachel, Chet, Lucy, Derek,
Denise, Matt and Born took the 'Enterprise' back out to wreck, to recover 
any personal gear that might still be aboard, retrieve any misc circuitry 
boards and get all the replacement parts they could find.

After returning to the dock and making several trips to the hanger, they 
all have dinner, then Lucy and Derek, Rachel and Chet and Eleanor and Oskar 
pair up for the evening, to spend it with each other.

Shelly, Miti, Akira and Steve watched a Discovery Channel(tm) program on
the gulf war, Patty and Sarah studied the history of Nova Scotia, Maurice
was 'surfing' the net, Amy was doing homework and Born was studying Earth
history 

Eleanor and Oskar ended up in her room and, after locking the door, 
started exploring the mystery and joy of making love.

While the other two couples were still together, Lucy whispered into
Rachels ear and her eyes got larger, then she blushed, turning to Lucy, 
shocked, "Are YOU nuts?"

Lucy responded "Why NOT?, we can take one of the 'roids stand guard and I 
think it's time to find out what it's like, 'sides, it MIGHT be fun to 
swap partners" Rachel looks cross eyed at the idea, then nods, with a 
gleam in her eyes.

Cathy, Catty, Denise, Matt and the 'Roids were checking the equipment 
for damage when Lucy comes and asks if she can borrow Ail for the night, 
Cathy asks why.

"Why should you and Denise have ALL the fun" lufy whispers in her ear, 
not wanting to upset Catty again, Cathy reddens, then tells Ail to please 
follow Lucy and heed her orders.

Lucy leads the group to the 'Enterprise' and after they board, they 
take the boat out to a buoy about a mile from shore, dropping anchor there
to watch the sunset.

Derek and Chet sit on the deck, and leaning against the wheel house and the 
women sit to lean against them, Derek starts to rub Lucys neck and she
sighs, tipping her head forward as she closes her eyes.

Chet puts his arms around Rachel, with his hands resting in her lap, to be 
joined by hers as Derek asks "Has the recent jet crash been bothering you
two very much?"

"A little" Lucy says "in our war, people didn't have time to register that 
they were about to die, like the Challenger disaster, hopefully the crew
were knocked unconscious by the blast, the passengers on the jet probably
knew what was coming, I think that makes it harder".

Rachel adds "I agree, it gives fear time to set in, like that jetliner that 
went straight into the ground in Florida, there was talk of survivors, and 
MAYBE there were some, for a couple of hours, but NOT by the time the 
crash site was found".

Chet shivers, for Rachel, Lucy, Patty and Eleanor, having had seen so much
death during the Solnoid\Paranoid war,and, in fact, being a hairs breadth 
from dying themselves and he kisses her ear "Enough of this topic, 
look, the suns almost gone".

Lucy turns her head to whisper in Dereks ear "Should we do it out in the 
open or would you feel better in a cabin?" Derek jerks slightly "Are   Do 
you mean WHAT I think you do?".

Lucy winks and moves his hands to her breasts "How's THIS for an answer"
(SWEATDROP)

Chet looks Rachel in the face and sees that she feels the same  "Well, stand 
up, we'll go below and find a soft place", they stand and Rachel asks Ail 
to keep watch, as Chet ALMOST drags her below decks. 

Chet looks back at Derek and Lucy "Are you planing on staying up here all 
night?" "No, we'll be there" says Derek "before sunrise, I hope" as Lucy 
starts to unbutton her shirt.

Chet leads Rachel down to a cabin, before she decides NOT to wait 
anymore.

WARNING, LEMON, WARNING, LEMON, WARNING, LEMON, WARNING, LEMON, WARNING, LEM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


On deck, Derek lays out a sleeping bag for them to lay on and rolls Lucy 
onto her back and opens her shirt, kissing her neck as he opens her bra 
and lays his hands directly on her body.

Lucy shivers but can't tell if it's from pleasure or nerves and she 
feels a tug at her waist.

Derek slowly slides a hand down her body, towards her crotch and traces 
his tongue down to her nipples and, as he  softly licks at them, Lucy gasps
and grabs his head, when his hand rubs againest her panties she arches and 
mutters, quietly, "OH Mother, Derek, that feels good".

Derek runs his tongue from one breast to the other, as he does so, something
makes him stop and lean away to look at her, his eyes widening in shock, 
seeing a multitude of thin scars across her chest and abdomen. 
"Lufy, GOD, what happened?".

Lucy glances down "Oh, left over reminders of the war, I'm used to them. 
BUT if you stop now, I'll give you something you won't ever forget" and 
she pulls on his arm so he falls atop her and she feels him pressing himself
againest her

she then realizes that most of his clothes are still on and proceeds to 
correct the problem, as he pulls her pants off, and after discarding the 
barriers, he slides down her body to bury his face at her crotch.

Lufy raises her legs to trap his head, starting to gently twitch as
he licks at her and his hands caress her breasts, rubbing them until she is
panting. 

she unfolds her legs and reaches down to take hold of Dereks head to pull
him back up to her, wrapping her arms around him, to keep him from escapeing
again and she mutters "please, oh please" in his ear.

he slips his hands down and removes her panties and his underwear, pressing
his penis againest her cunt and rubs it up and down, as Lucy digs her nails 
into his back "more, MORE, HARDER".

as he gives in and starts to enter her, she starts gasping for air and when 
he slips all the way in, she moans in his ear "Ow it hurts, it hurts"

he knows that it does, and goes slowly in and out, till she relaxs and starts 
to meet his thrusts, then starts to go faster.

when the release comes, it takes her totally by surpise and she arches, lifting
him with her strength and gives a full-throated scream and then lays flat on 
the deck with Derek kissing her ear and gasping.

"Lufy, are you okay?" he asks but, getting no reply raises himself to look at
her, finding her eyes closed, and unresponive to his touch "she must have 
passed out" he thinks and pulls the sleeping bag around them to keep her 
warm and he shifts her head onto his shoulder. 



Down in the cabin, Chet sits on the bed and had Rachel sit in his lap
as they started to undress.

At about midnight, Derek and Lucy go to find a cabin for themselves, Lucy
was limping a little and they were BOTH tired.

Chet and Rachel woke up first, and after dressing, Rachel went on deck to 
Check with Ail while Chet checks on the other two, finding them still 
asleep and he starts to close the door quietly. 

Rachel returns, her arms full of clothes stopping him long enough to 
deposit the pile on the cabin floor "They must have been busy, to leave 
these on the deck".

Rachel goes to make coffee and breakfast while Chet checks out the boat.

While fixing the food, Rachel stops from time to time, remembering just
HOW last night felt, she WAS a little sore and wondered if Lucy would feel
the same way.

Chet comes into the galley and hugs her from behind "After breakfast, 
we'll head in, should we wake the others?"

"No need" Derek says from the door, wearing only pants "but I'm worried
about Lufy, she seems to be in a little pain, and says her legs ache"

Rachel leaves, taking a tray with 2 coffee cups and some toast, to see  
about her friend as Chet hands Derek a coffee cup.

"Well?" Derek asks "She wasn't afraid, just inexperienced but THAT didn't
last long, you?" Chet reponds

Derek shakes his head "I don't see HOW they came out of that war totally 
sane, Lufy has about a hundred scars and THATS just on the front".

"I saw some on Rabby also, their medical science must be very good, but
still leaves traces" Chet replies.

In the cabin Rachel hands Lucy a coffee cup and sits on the bed "are you 
really in pain?, or are you just sore?" she asks, smiling.

"Sore" Lucy commented "The male body was a mystery to me, when we joined,
I didn't know what to expect, or even how to react to it, at least YOU had
seen a man before we came to earth".

"Thats true, but seeing a man and having one make love to you, there's
no describing it, did you hurt right at first?".

"Yeah, but it faded almost immediately, I think he was being gentle,
but I don't have anything to compare it too, not even the night that
Cathy, Denise, you and I spent together" Lucy says and then got up to get 
dressed.

"When are you gonna ask Chet to marry you?" Rachel smiles "what makes you
think I HAVEN'T already asked him?".

Lucy thinks for a moment "Well, if you, me, Shelly and Cathy are going to
get married, I think that we should plan on a multiple wedding, rather then
one at a time, it should be easier that way".

"One problem, who'll give the away the brides?, especially with Cathy and 
Denise" wonders Rachel.

"Thats something to worry about when the time comes, dare I hope there's 
more food ready?" asks Lucy, taking a piece of toast.

Rachel nods "Chet wanted to head in after breakfast, we better hurry, if 
we want any".

The two head to the galley, to find it empty and they hear the motor start
up "Oh well, there'll be other times" states Lucy "Oh, by the way, last 
night, after fun and before sleep, I got a few ideas about staying safe, 
I'll propose them when we're all together".
