Matt rubs his head and asks one of the medics for a mirror. He looks at his head where there is a gash down the left side.
"Hmm? What happened? No idea, guess I just got a bit carried away. Hah? Does it matter? We're alive. This doesnae look like the Missouri. Where are we?"
Angelina explains that they're on her brothers ship - The Pacific.
"Ahh. Time tae meet tha' outlaws. I mean in-laws hah! Hang on, why's those lights flickering? We got power issues? Am I needed in Engineering? Nurse lemmie oot a'here!
Matt tries to stand but stumbles back onto the bed
Angelina looks nerves and and worried abut Matt . She puts him down to bed and talks to him with her sweet voice.
" You took a serious hit in the head. The doctors say your gonna be alright, you need to rest for 4 hours untill you get ok. Lay down get some sleep I will be right here next to you."
She looks at him and you can tell in her eyes that she is worried sick. Matt goes to Sleep and After 4 hours he is awake.
"Well the flight deck crew is still trying to gather whats left of your guardian. And The Captain will not be please that you crash your fighter on his deck you destroyed two upholders when you crash landed. So your in trobble."
She laughs softly. Matt ask's were are we because for him this dosen't look like the Missouri.
"Well Matt we are aboard the Pacific yes my brother's ship. we are invited to dinner with him. And whats best we are going to Manhattan. So your gonna meet the rest of my family. Is this great"
Angelina sounds she is very very happy. Matt gets up and they walk on the decks of the Pacfic and they talk.
"Matt will you tell me what was all that abut out there with the Rheinland ships?"
Matt looks a little embarassed and looks away from Angelina
"The Rheinlanders.. well.. I was very annoyed an' I just.. well I wanted tae see them burn. I dunno, just tha' whole meeting wi' my folks didnae go very well. Well, it didnae go as I hoped. Guess ma dad's just like that. He wound me up, I blasted at those fighters."
Matt turns back towards Angelina.
"Oh and you were in trouble again!"He smiles wryly and says sarcastically "Ye look as though ye need me tae watch yer back all the time!
Matt winks at her
"So, dinner wi' your brother. Sounds interesting. He's no gonna go mad at me fer blowing a hole in his deck is he? Or.. fer smashing up those two Upholders?"
Matt looks worried again.
"Gawd, I wonder what's left on my fightah. Zanders won't be happy tha' I smashed up *another* one. Actually, screw Zanders - it's more yer bro' I'm worried about. What a great first impression I've made!
Current Location of the Pacfic: Norfolk Shipyard New York system en route to Planet Manhattan
Ass Matt and Angelina walked on the decks one of the crew members reach them and told them that Captain Dimitrov was expecting them in his quarters. the Crew member left and Matt and Angelina turnd towards each other and grabbed each other by the hands. Matt seems worry d that Georgi will probabbly beat him and kill him cause hie destroyed his hanger deck and going out with his sister. Angelina looks at him.
" Hey my brother is not a evil person or a man that will kill another man without a reason. He wont harm you I already told him something abut you so dont worry abut first impression for him it never counts *winks at him* Now lets not keep him waiting"
Matt and Angelina holding each other by hand walk to the quartets of the Captain and they see a very strcikt and organised room with a tabble in the middle and 3 chairs two were right next to each other and one in front of them. From the Darkness of the shadows Angelina brother came out holding two Scotches in cups. Angelina hugd him cause she didnt seen him for a long time. He kissd her by the check. he walk to Matt. gearogi Was 1.95 meters Long and he was quite strong. He hold Matts Hand and Introduced himself. He give him the Scotch and they sayd cheers. Georgi sees the happily in Angelina, in recent years she was not all that happy because of her mother so Dimitrov starts with a troll a little at Matt
" So You like destroying Docking bays on battles ships ? * laughs* Nhaaa that not important Upholders and Docking bays can be rebild however you can not. Cammon sit down."
They All settled and started to eat after some time. Dimitrov ask a few questions.
" So Matt how the hell did you ended up here making my sister happy? "
"To be honest? I have nae idea! We were just drinkin' in tha' bar one night and, well things developed fae there. I'll keep her happy though, you have me word on tha' one. That is if Angelina will ever stop worrying about me flying! I'm nae tha' bad a pilot am I?"
Angelina raises her eyebrows, while her brother just remains silent.
"Ah ok, so whit happened in tha' docking bay didnae prove my case but.. I'm no tha' bad! I'm a better Engineer. My guardian is.. well it was.. one of the most advanced in the fleet!"
Matt looks about the Captain's room.
"This is a nice ship ye got here, ye ever thought about joinin' tha' primary fleet? Where abouts on Manhattan is yer family from?"

Son,
We need to talk. I can't seem to get a hold of you since you dashed off to fight those Rheinlanders - I also can't raise your phone or your Guardian. I've dialled the personal department on the Missouri and they say you are not aboard and that you were last logged in to the medical bay on the Pacific. What have you done son? Your mother is worried sick, please get in touch as soon as.
Now I know it is usual that this sort of thing happens, you're in the navy - We all know and respect that. There are, other things, that need to be discussed though Son. I don't think you truly appreciate the position the family is in currently.

By that time Matt Angelina and Her Brother Georgi were already on Manhattan moving towards the Dimitrovis Residence. Once there Matt Saw a Big House at the place were most Houses are located. Matt Looked a little nervous. But Angelina told him to calm down. Her Brother knockd at the Door and the housekeeper opened.
" Oh welcome back Georgi Angelina very happy to see you She hugs em both. " After the hig they Step in Angelina is holding Matts arm and it dosent look that she will let it go. They Pass trew the corridor and Matt sees Paintings of People on the wall. Matt ask'd who are they Angelina Responded .
" Those are the previous Dimitrovi's. The Last painting is the man responsible for my family being here in the first place."
They all seat in the guest room and Georgi went to call their Father. Angelina and Matt are alone there now and they kissd for a moment. Matt was wondering were is Angelina mother but his thought were interrupted by Angelina.
Matt looks around the room, the design is very different to the Smith home in Denver. It feels more warm and welcoming compared to his fathers house. The floors are carpeted here, whereas at home - Dad prefers the wooden flooring and white/silver finishings.
"Yeah, it's nice.. I mean - very different tae my folks house but yeah.. Nice place ye guys have got."
Matt stares at another one of the family pictures. It is an older picture, and there are children in the front row. Matt point's at the young girl in the picture.
"Aww, that you I take it?!
Matt laughs, but something doesn't add up. He see's three other boys in the photo. One would probably be Angelina's brother Georgi - but the others?
[color=#FFFFFF]David Smith looks out of his office window. He has a glass of water in his hand and sips it while he continues to stare out at the planet below. There is a report on his desk marked "Urgent", which he is deliberately ignoring. He can't bear to read about another lost transport in California. Most pirates were only in it for the money, and that there was a budget for. Recently however, they seemed more keen to obliterate the transports and take what was left. They couldn't possibly know what David's transports were carrying could they? He could ill afford to lose any more.
Something catches his eye near the northern pole of Manhattan.
"Hmm, a Dreadnought. Perhaps Matt can pull a few strings after all."
He goes back to his desk and pushes the intercom button to his secretary.
"Katrina, do we know which Dreadnought that is in high orbit? Just curious." "Um.. hang on I'll go check. One moment please."
David heads back to the window, and takes another sip of his water.
"It's the Pacific Mr Smith."
David's eyes shot open, he had not expected that.
"Um.. thank you Katrina. That'll be all for you today. Tie up your loose ends and you can go home early." "Thank you Mr Smith! I'll probably leave in the next half hour. Cheers!"
The intercom clicked off and David stared at the battleship. His mind was racing. He had got the message sent from the Pacific. He couldn't understand that one, Lane Hackers? Why had they taken an interest in one of his personal messages? Were they watching him? He knew his systems were totally secure, so to him the Navy were obviously to blame. He was annoyed now. He needed to speak with his son. However, for all he knew - he could be bleeding out on a medical deck on the Pacific or...
"Manhattan, he's probably on Manhattan. Hmm. If he is, he'll be booked off the ship as on leave. He's then probably booked on a transport back. Find out what transport that is, find him. Pin him down and actually talk."
He stared at the planet below again and a wing of Liberators flew past the window
