"It'll be like kissing my mom or daddy, but, alright."Mark put his hands on her shoulders and leaned closer. "I'll try not to be too much like your fa...ther." Their lips met, and Cassie felt an almost electric shock. Kissing Tracy had been wonderful, but this? Mark's tongue eased passed her lips to tease her own. Fear and excitement raced through her as her tongue teased back. Was this possible? Was it really real what she was feeling? Could one kiss turn friendship into, love?She gently pushed. "Samantha blinked. "What kind of shore bombardment can you give us?" Ah, none." If we could at least get some of the concubines off, that would help. What transports do you have?" None." How many of your men can use the RLI-1 blaster?" I doubt if anyone's even seen it from closer than 10 metres. Probably none."Dammit, she thought, this Captain is far too fond of the word "none". "Can any of you fuck counter-clockwise?" she growled, her patience absolutely gone."No- what? What?" Never mind. You. I spotted Tana and Jana hovering at the west corner of the property. They were waving us on – and just as we turned to fly vertical, they too joined formation, flying in a V, outside their brothers.I wanted to see more action from this test flight and told them, “Take them into a vertical roll ... you need to test all of your inflight stress maneuvers.”Despite flying vertical, they were right with me as we neared seven thousand feet. Both of them were rolling left 180°, then right 180° as they. Technically two people isn't a full team, but after a consultation with the Confederacy they decided to leave us alone and not add anyone. We did have our first class and it's a bit awkward with two people but Erica and I worked out a way to split the work. We actually came in fourth in our first exercise despite only having the two of us. There are currently thirty-six groups in the training. I'll keep what it is a secret for a bit longer. You definitely wouldn't approve if you knew what I was.
