The four shuttles request permission to land using Vincent's name in their request. Lancaster overrides any objections by the Kitty Hawks XO and allows them to land, as he goes out to greet them himself.

Captain Blacks ships can be seen below searching through the wreckage for anything useful. As the APC's land all the sailors who had been transformed turn back into humans again. A great deal of cat calls and whistles accompany the transformation from the aircrew on deck.

[Vincent]

Upon returning to the ship, Vince will seek out Captain O'Connell on the deck amidst the throngs of nude marines. Never one to miss the humor in human nudity, Vince is generous with 'good game' slaps and other locker room innuendo. Upon finding the captain, his expression becomes one of pleasant business; O'connell didn't seem the type to laugh lightly.

"Job well done against the infernal aquatics, dear captain. Had you told me earlier of your lycanthropic tendencies, perhaps this conflict could have been more decisively ended."

He smiles.

"We have to work on our communication."

He gestures for O'connell to follow him, without consideration to whether he is dressed or not, towards the fresh mercenary crew onboard. He seeks out the lithe figure with skin like the night's sky.

"This is Maj. Nix. He is commander of this mercenary company hired by myself to assume garrison duty aboard the Kittyhawk and to serve as training detatchment for your marines in the handling of these," He quickly retrieves one of the gravitonic assualt rifles from it's case, clears it and presents it for inspection to O'connell, "I'll let the Major summarize the weapon and it's capabilities. It looks like you two will have much to discuss and I need to confer with the Master Chief, excuse me." And with that, Vincent leaves to find the MC to discuss another part of his plan.

The M.C. is found in his office. He looks up as Vince walks in. "What can I do for you this afternoon Vince?"

He helps himself to a chair before speaking. Vincent had decided on opening this discussion by being blunt. He grins.

"I require a squad, preferably a platoon, of Navy SEALs assigned to me for training in and execution of anti-demon operations and tactics against high value targets and personnel; likely infernal in nature. War is coming, Master Chief and it would benefit us to be prepared for 'uniquely demonic' asymetrical warfare scenarios."

"Yes, I think communication would be a good thing. Perhaps we can discuss this later." He follows Vincent, trying to wrap his mind around things; the men that were lost during their battle with creatures he had never seen before. Now there were unidentified ships and people/beings wandering around the deck of his ship that was hovering above the water. They might as well hand a sign on the back that said carnival cruise, because this felt like a three ringed circus at the moment. Glauis is thankful that at least he was provided with pants before being introduced to Major. Nix. He would have normally met in full uniform and would have been aware that Major Nix was coming, but nothing was running by the books at the moment. He takes the gun offered to him, surprised by the way the weapon feels. "Major Nix" He says "I am Glauis O'Connell, Captain of the Kittyhawk. My apologize for the confusion at the moment." He offers a hand shake.

Glauis:
The Major smirks as you apologize for the 'mess'. His hand is cool and firm when he takes your proffered hand. "You will find that in times of need captain, that there are those who will help you. In this particular case, we are being paid to do so. It just happens to be a bonus that I get to actually visit a pre-space civilization. Now, I am under the impression that your planet is going to have some serious action with demons, deevils, and all sorts of other unsavory beasts that go bump in the night." He chuckles softly to himself as he finishes his comment.

Vince:

The Master Chief leans over to his computer and begins to type. After a moment he leans back in his chair. "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we don't have anyone assigned here that would fit your desires. However the good news is that Secretary Lancaster came aboard with an entourage of ten men. One of them I know personally. I would suggest that you speak to Lancaster about these special forces soldiers you are looking for."

As Mister Lister exits the ship Kira checks on the status of the pyramid's construction in order to determine where he should proceed to next.

pre-space? Glauis thinks, they had reached the moon, sent probes to the end of their solar system, of course, given what he had witnessed today, these beings could reach another galaxy in the blink of an eye, even dimensions if what Capt. Black said was true. "Yes." He says a little relived that Major Nix wasn't concerned with commotion on the deck. "I had just been made aware of the threat before the demon ship appeared." He chuckles a little himself "It's been a day of very unexpected things."

Glauis:
"As I understand it, my company has been brought here to train you and your men in the art of fighting demons. We brought enough weapons and ammo to outfit a squad of special forces. If you could provide my men with a place to set up shop, I will accompany you to get to know the rest of your officers."

Kira:
The pyramid seems to be in good hands and condition. As best you can tell at the moment, your best course of action would be to remain with Mr. Lister and help acclimate the crew of this ship to dealing with 'aliens'.

Vincent:
Lancaster is found on the flight deck watching the new members of the ship get acquainted with the 'ancient' technology, terms, and people. Major Nix has gone off with the Captain, probably to talk about where to bunk his men and preparations for training. There is a man getting out of the first APC that came through. His aura is familiar, his energy is similar to that of your old friend.
Lancaster looks over as Vince walks up. "You shouldn't be a stranger. Old enemies, allies and poker buddies don't just up and vanish on a person. It's rude."

Kira: As you get out of the APC and look around, you see lunch. A man has just walked out of the doorway leading to the bridge, with massive amounts of PPE. If not lunch now, certainly lunch later. The PPE from the warlock still sits heavy in your body.

Kra follows the man for the dual purposes of potentially gluttonising and to learn why someone with such high PPE was present in this earth. Kira had met only a few such being in this dimension before, and had learned that high PPE hereabouts was a great exception.

Glauis wasn't even told of this plan, but he was betting it was something of Vincent's design. Galuis nods "I have a room that will suit your purposes." He leads Major Nix to one of the larger empty hangers.

Major Nix follows along behind Glauis. It is only a couple decks below the main flight deck where the mostly empty hanger sits. The only things present are a few weight machines. The men and women with Major Nix quickly begin to cordon off an area for themselves with an ever present, and watchful sergeant overseeing them. Major Nix turns to Glauis. "So Captain. While it seems that you are unaware of the nature of our agreement for being here, I can understand that you are apprehensive about our presence. Rest assured that we have little interest in your, and pardon me for the potential insult, primitive tech, or intelligence. We are here to perform a duty, and if I should fail in that duty, I will fail my commanding officer. That is something I very much want to avoid. I forfeit my cut of the payment for this mission, and I get stuck commanding latrine duty. Let us become if not friends, then at least close allies."

Glauis chuckles a little "No offense taken, I am thankful for the help." Given the types of ships and weapons they had brought aboard, Glauis was fairly certain that there was nothing on this ship that they didn't know about. But he still didn't like to be kept in the dark, he was captain of the ship and was solely responsible for all that happened to the ship and it's crew. "I look foreword to working with you and your crew to defeat this threat."

Glauis shakes the offered hand, feeling that he had finally found an alley in this mess. Glauis instructs a few hands to help Nix's team move their gear and equipment into the hanger as well as a few to gather cots and other items they would need. They were going to need supplies soon, they only carried enough provisions for the crew and Dr. Fusions team (He guessed that Fusions ship had fused with the Kittyhawk and hopefully his team wasn't tearing the floor panels up to find it... He sends someone down to check on the good Doctor and if his suspicions were correct. The problem was the questions that would be raised if anyone saw the kitty in it's new 'form'. "I will let you get settled. I hope that you and your crew will join us for dinner, I can introduce you to my officers."

Vince takes notice of the familiar aura and the figure it surrounds.

So familiar, yet not as potent as it should be; curious...

He focuses more on the specifics to discern more about the new arrival and any possible connections to his 'old friend' (activates See Aura).

Lancaster
 
You shouldn't be a stranger. Old enemies, allies and poker buddies don't just up and vanish on a person. It's rude.


He smiles upon hearing the familiar and friendly voice while keeping his eyes upon the aura of interest to him. Once satisfied with the results, he turns to face Secretary Lancaster. He grins sheepishly and runs his hand through his hair, feigning awkward guilt at the accusations.

"Well, I'm patently unreliable and you know it, Mr. Secretary!" He extends his hand. "But had I known 'Secretary Lancaster' was you, I would've made myself pretty scarce around here. But all pleasantries aside, it's good to see you again. I assume, if you're involved, our situation is as at least as dire as I've predicted?"

Vincent can feel eyes upon him turns to see the man with the familiar aura following him.

"Don't be shy, come and say hello!" He shouts, waving.

See Aura (6):
-Range: 60 feet
-Duration: 2 melee rounds
-Saving Throw: None except Mind Block

Lancaster smirks as Vince refers to himself as 'unreliable'. "Yes, I am aware of how 'unreliable' you are. I seem to recall you betting a small kingdom's worth in gold on a pocket eight in that game of banet (combination of five card stud and roulette.) and loosing to my pocket king. A wager that you have yet to pay up on. Kher has paid off his debt already. (Kher is a Night Dragon, one of the very few who happens to be a 'good guy') So, what besides the impending Minion War brings you here. No, let me guess. You hired these mercenaries to train some of the crew to combat the demons and deevils on their own ground. I figured something like this was going to happen. Come along." He starts to walk away before stopping and turning to Kira. "You can come along as well Killer, there is much you could do to train these sailors as well."

Lancaster walks up to the bridge, the marine stationed there salutes both Lancaster and Vince before opening the door and announcing them to the officer on deck. Lancaster takes note of the officers name tag before he talks. "Ensign Barrows. I would like for you to pass a message over the 1MC if you would please. The message is as follows. X-ray, X-ray, X-ray. Repeat it twice." The ensign looks a little dubious but does as the Secretary requests. Within five minutes, there are ten men standing outside the bridge.
"Vince, I would like for you to meet SEAL Team One. They accompanied me from Washington for this express purpose. Commander Hawk and Lieutenant Nord are in command. I will leave you to get acquainted." Lancaster nods to the commander and walks in the direction of the Captain and Major Nix.


Glauis:
The sailor you sent down to check on the students returns a few minutes later. "Sir, I am happy to report that none of the researchers have suffered a mishap. They are currently conducting tests to see exactly what happend, in the hopes of repeating it."

OOC: Should Kira know who these people are, or should he be puzzled at how they seem to know him? Is there something to roll on?
==Kira==
Kira smiles inwardly, at the very least this one is interesting...he may be an asset, or an enemy... Kira falls in stride, not one to "follow". As they continue he makes plans for how to train the men, the weak will die. The strong will get stronger. The strongest and most ambitious will become my own personal soldiers.

"Only place me in charge of those who are willing to accept death as a penalty for failure in training, and I am warning you, over half will fail. I will show them no more mercy than I showed my Mayan soldiers, and my Mayan soldiers were feared by all our enemies."

Youthful arrogance...

"I have heard many such boasts before. The only thing more spectacular than when such claims come to fruition is when they fail to bear any fruit other than disaster. You should be careful not to make promises beyond your means, Young One unless disaster is what you plan to harvest." He says with a smile and measured tone.

"Tell me, 'Killer' as I am yet to know your name, who is the master that you serve? I can see that your power, while significant is not entirely your own."

Lancaster
 
Vince, I would like for you to meet SEAL Team One. They accompanied me from Washington for this express purpose. Commander Hawk and Lieutenant Nord are in command. I will leave you to get acquainted.


"Commander, Lieutenant; it's a pleasure to meet you. I have a tactical proposition I would like to discuss, perhaps over coffee?" He grins.

Glauis thanks the sailor for the information, thankful that the Dr. and his team were ok. "Major Nix. If you will excuse me for a moment, I need to check on the rest of the ship." He tells the sailor to stay with Nix in case he is in need of something or needs to get a hold of him. Glauis heads towards the bridge.

Glauis:
Just outside the bridge are Vince, Kira, and ten sailors that came aboard with Secretary Lancaster. They are wearing SEAL pins on their uniforms, something they weren't when they came aboard. The commander nods politely to Glauis before turning back to Vince.
"With all due respect sir...." He starts looking at Kira. "My men are willing to put down their lives for this country, this planet if need be. But we will not work for, train with, or in any way cooperate with someone who would look upon failure during training as a death sentence. Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with SEAL training before you open your mouth again."

Glauis remains quiet, he hadn't seen this man before and he was usually very aware of unfamiliar people on board his ship. Of course he himself looked unfamiliar, still dressed in nothing more then green pants, shoeless and hair unkempt, but it was the name of the game and he wasn't about to worry about modesty with strangers on board. The tension was high in the room and all of it seemed to be focused on the unknown man.
