Revna could see it. That fire suppression foam was like the blob; it never stopped growing and clung like tribbles to Klingons. She laughed at the mental picture. “You know that gives me ideas. And depending on how annoying she’s been to the security chief he might just help me, or those two are planning evil things for Mike at the moment. It’s a toss up on who she’s more irritated with right now: me, Mike, or the security chief.” She contemplates, “Or Mike’s cousin, but I’m pretty sure he’s safe. But I can honestly say that without her life would be so terribly dull.” Revna smiled, she missed Runa. She’d left a few weeks after her surgery to return to Atlantis. But as Mike said she was sure that Runa would visit, A LOT.

“Gravel Mardusk still the CoS there?” Cochrane asked and took a drink. “Good man… big one, too. Makes Calloway’s beau look positively dainty.” and he chuckled.

Cochrane, CO

“He is. One of the best I’ve ever served with, and a good friend too. He’s been tasked with keeping an eye on my sister while she keeps an eye on Mike’s bar. I think he got the short end of the stick there.” Revna sipped at her drink. “Actually, come to think of it, it’s Mardusk’s fault I had to go on a date with Mike in the first place. I owe him one.”
McKenzie, DA

“From the way you light up when you talk about your husband, you probably owe him more than one.” Cochrane said and chuckled. “And Mardusk is more than capable of handling anything. Well.. except the one thing, but that’s a whole story in and of itself.” and he shook his head as if to dismiss the thought and then took another drink.

Cochrane, CO

“Hmmmm....probably, but I was also very drunk at the time. You ever matched an Orion, and Gravel Mardusk at that, drink for drink?” Gravel had been in a dangerous mood when she’d seen gone to his office that day, and she’d taken him to the bar to unwind, and that’s when she met Mike. If Mardusk hadn’t been in such a foul mood she’d still be avoiding Mike’s bar....yeah she probably owed Mardusk more than one. Maybe the Marine’s and Styxx too for that horrible fight in the bar, oh and let’s not forget the civilians that riled both security and the marines up....the list was never ending. She contemplated Cochrane, “Now that is a story I would love to hear. I don’t suppose it’s something you’d be willing to share? But I won’t press if it’s a story that can’t be shared.” And she laughed softly. She’d get it out of Mike or maybe let Runa know....
McKenzie, DA

Cochrane chuckled. “I have never been so foolish as to try and match Mr. Mardusk. As for the story? Nothing you cant find in old editions of Galactic Variety. So Mike, your husband, and Mardusk know each other from a long time ago. I met Mardusk professionally. Important side note… did you know Gravel is a sworn member of Klingon House? Yeah… owns the armor and everything. Anyway… apparently Mardusk was on leave at one point and travels with Mike’s band for a few weeks. They had some all-female band opening for them… um… Unsolicited something-or-other… so our dear green behemoth become romantically involved with one of that band’s members. The issue was that the two of them were like… well… pure oxygen and a plasma spark: wholly and completely disastrous. There was a massive fight and she ends up stabbing Gravel with one of her high heeled shoes. In public. During a show. While he was in uniform. Apparently he told her he was leaving and that set her off to no end. Now, according to Mike and members of both bands, Gravel had told her that from jump. But also according to them… that girl is not what you would call exactly ‘stable’. So they parted on bad terms… until a year later when she was performing at a station and Gravel was there. Then they were on again for a bit, then it went up in flames. Thats happened something like four or five times now? Regardless, that is the story of the one thing our dear giant Orion cannot handle.”

Revna just smirked, “It was a night I shall never forget that’s for sure. And my sister yelled at me for hours over it.” Revna nodded, “I did actually. Mardusk and I have talked about quite a lot. There is a standing ‘threat’ that I may have to try and match the head of his house drink for drink. He found the idea quite humorous.” Revna listened quietly, her never ending composure and calm never wavering, but Mike was SO going to get it when she got home. “Bubbles. Her name is Racheal “Bubbles” Mathis. And she’s taking over as the manager of Mike’s bar on Atlantis.” And Revna had a first and powerful sudden regret for not returning to Atlantis. They were all like family to her and now on top of Lera’s recovery, though Revna had made sure there had been a break through there before she left for her surgery, and the strain that had put on Mardusk now this…yeah she and Mike were having a long talk and her sister was going to be warned to stay away. Oh Lords and Ladies…at least it was Runa and not Ragna on board. “Well unless something has changed in the 6 months since I left, I think Mardusk is safe from Bubbles.”
McKenzie, DA

“From what I understand, he is never safe from her. And she is going to the Atlantis, I may need to let Captain Bordeaux know. So weird calling her that. She was always Shultz.” and he shook his head. “She could have so much better than Ian. Smarmy little guy, that one.” and he chuckled.

“Well perhaps not physically safe from her…” Revna sighs, this really was the wrong time for her to leave Atlantis. If Lera got ahold of this information there was no telling what she would do. Had she made the wrong decision? “Ah yes Knight and Shultz. But as for Mr Bordeaux....I think I might have to agree with that assessment. He was....interesting to work with.”

“So why do you think he’ll be safe now?” he asked.

Cochrane, CO

“Well safe from falling into another relationship with her. Unless something has changed in the last 6 months, our good friend Gravel is seriously involved with someone. They are very good for each other. And if they aren’t still together, he and my sister have formed a friendship, and she’ll tell him flat out if he’s doing something stupid. But from what Mike tells me Bubbles needs a place to lay low, so hopefully she checks her crazy at the door.” Another sigh, she’d been selfish to leave. “A warning call to my sister may be in order. She’s managing the bar for Mike at the moment…”
McKenzie, DA
