Alfred entered the lobby with the others following. The lobby was quite small and held some guests drinking tea or watching TV. A larger area with tables set up appeared to be the breakfast room.

"Hello," Alfred said to the clerk, a tall Asian man.

"Hello, sir," the clerk replied.

"I would like rooms for-" he counted up the people. "14 please,"

"Al, shouldn't we pair up to cut costs?" Dr. Zanasiu said.

Spc. Crota slithered onto a couch next to a Peragrine Falcon who was reading a magazine.

The Peragrine gave a disgusted look at Spc. Crota. "Get away from me, you disgusting serpent," he spat.

"You watch your mouth! The US Military does not discriminate against species! Unlike you, who seems to be stuck in the 1900s!" Spc. Crota scolded. He remained on the couch.

"You insolent..." the Peragrine. The Falcon stomped away from Spc. Crota.

"What an a------," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"Glad to see we're making a good impression," commented Shelton wryly. "Warming up to the local people."

He turned to the clerk. "Is there a complimentary coffee pot somewhere?"

"No," said the clerk.

"You've got to be kidding me. I'm running on fumes here. What if I defragment your computer system? Balance your expenses? Write a glowing review to Consumer Reports?"

"Shelton, for once just shut up!" snapped Crota. He was still a little sore from the Falcon incident.

Corporal Stern stood next to Aimee. He had a few things to ask her about hotel arrangements.

"We're sharing a room again, right? You still want me to take care of your tail? I'm sorry for sitting on it in the car back there."

As they were sure no one was around in the engine room, Tank began setting charges throughout the area along the main hull, while Vic and Erin kept watch...

----------

Aiko continued to hack away at the computer, hoping he could get a breakthrough.

Ice and Snow kept their eyes on the doorway...

----------

Ariol and his group began to sweep across and within the massive tanker for signs of the boarders...

----------

Deathwind quickly began to gather chemicals for the Omega Squad's entrance...

Serris · **Reply #1025 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:02:57 AM

Omega Leader threw two flashbangs into the lab that Deathwind was in.

As soon as they detonated his men rushed in with their weapons at the ready.

------------------

"We will be sharing rooms to cut down on expenses and for safety measures," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"I guess Cobalt Squad gets their own room?" Zachary said.

"Right. You, Neville and myself are getting one room. Hans, Werner and Shelton should get another room. Cpl. Stern, Shakila, and Aimee should get another. Alfred, Aisha and Dr. Landon get another room. Dr. Bailey, Jayden and PFC Reynolds get another," Dr. Zanasiu said. He then turned to the group. "Do you agree with this arrangement?" he asked.

Nick22 · **Reply #1026 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:05:09 AM

Thats fine " Aisha and Dr Landon chimed in.." the rooms will all be close to each other right?

Serris · **Reply #1027 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:08:50 AM

"Should be," Dr. Zanasiu said. He then went up to the clerk. "5 rooms please."

"That will be $45 per night. Exercise room and breakfast bar is free," the clerk said.

"I guess I could use some exercise," Alfred said.

"Al, knowing how strong you are, you're going to hog all the weights in the room," Sgt. Masters said.

"Shakila was actually going to pay for my room," said Shelton. "And I already agreed. So you only need four."

Crota looked over. "You're bumming a room from an 18 year old girl? You're like fifty."

"Forty one, for your information," said Shelton, looking scandalized. "And I don't see you paying for your room, Specialist. Besides, I need my own room to prepare for some operations that I'm going to be performing while you sleep in your similarly-bummed apartment!"

MrDrake · **Reply #1029 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:22:51 AM

"Yeah, Shelton's right, I'll pay for his and mine room" Shakila spoke up next "So, you don't have to worry about me and Shelton"

Jayden just gave a quick little nod "Whichever's easier for you lot, I'm not going to be picky here"

Aimee just ended up shrugging "Sure, save for whatever it is Shakila and Shelton are going to be doing" she then looked to Stern "And yeah, I suppose so"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1030 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:24:08 AM

"That's what my announcement is going to be about," said Shelton. He shot a glance at Crota. "And you can rest assured that you're not getting one."

Noname · **Reply #1031 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:24:53 AM

"I can pay for our room, Aimee, and the rest of you should settle your disagreements about it!" He added in a louder tone, so that all could hear "We have far worse problems to deal with than hotel concerns. Dragonstorm is still out there, and this could very well be our last chance to take a breather, so I suggest you all make the most of it."

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1032 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:31:39 AM

Shelton turned away from Crota and glared instead at the clerk. “And as for you, did I hear there was a free breakfast bar?”

“Yes.”

“Does that breakfast bar perchance have a coffee machine?”

“It does.”

“Then can I use it?”

“Of course,” said the clerk. “Tomorrow during breakfast.”

"You've got to be kidding me!"

MrDrake · **Reply #1033 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:33:37 AM

"You know what, if you all are going to argue about it...." Jayden begun as he handed over some money to the clerk "One room....for myself....please"

Aimee gave a little nod to Stern "Yeah, alright, if you're going to pay for our room, that's alright"

Shakila ended up groaning "Half the time it feels like, why should I even try to be nice....? Especially when this happens...." she grumbled a little bit as she looked to Crota "And as for your information, I offered to pay for a room for Shelton, he didn't even ask me"

Serris · **Reply #1034 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:35:40 AM

(OOC - It's Specialist Mitchell Crota.)

"I would pay if my wallet wasn't blown to bits!" Spc. Crota retorted.

"Crota! Enough! This is not the time to argue about things like that!" Sgt. Masters scolded.

Cobalt Leader stepped up and paid for Cobalt Squad's room. "We'll also need some extra blankets and sheets for the two reptiles," he said.

Dr. Zanasiu was next in line.

Noname · **Reply #1035 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:41:59 AM

Stern stood behind Zanasiu, near Aimee. "We should get a room with two beds, right Aimee? This is not exactly what I thought would happen on this mission, but we have to take things as they come." He tried to put a positive spin on the situation, although he wasn't very good at it. This could very well be the last time they would enjoy a hotel room, if their mission against Dragonstorm went awry.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1036 on:** April 02, 2010, 01:01:47 AM

(OOC: Changed my above post so he says "Specialist.")

MrDrake · **Reply #1037 on:** April 02, 2010, 01:14:46 AM

Shakila soon walked over to the clerk "Room for two please" she spoke up, still wanting to pay for a room for herself and for Shelton.

"Whichever you want" Aimee told Stern back "I'm not worried, so long as I can sleep in a bed at the very least"

Jayden had already recieved his key and was on the phone by that point, on his newly aquired cellphone that he had in fact, bought on the way to the hotel, talking with his boss "Yes sir, I understand sir, but I....no sir I...." he let off a sigh as well "Sorry sir, I don't have any information on what has been happening as of late, but I'm still on it, yes sir, I'll keep you updated on the situation as time progresses" and soon, he had hung up, so far, keeping his boss in check more or less.

Noname · **Reply #1038 on:** April 02, 2010, 01:17:32 AM

Stern walked up to the counter and paid for a room for two. "Two beds, please, and make sure that they are comfortable." As soon as this was done, he turned to Aimee and spoke. "Should we go up to our room now? You look like you could use a rest."

Serris · **Reply #1039 on:** April 02, 2010, 01:22:59 AM

Dr. Zanasiu paid for his room. "Room for three please," he said, handing over his credit card.

"Good I really could use a good rest," Neville said, yawning.

The clerk swiped the card and handed over the card keys.

Dr. Bailey was next in line after Hans and Werner.

Alfred returned with a large can of Monster energy drink. "Where did you get that?" Zachary asked.

"Vending machine down the hall. It's next to the ice machine," he replied, taking a gulp of the drink.
