    <b>Nope, the guardpost is a ship. No greenhouse. The air purification is handled by nanos, much easier to maintain.</b>

    <span style='color:yellow'><b> " yes, im a pilot. but i'll leave the standard stuff to you boys. I dont know if any of you are familier with the munchousin 'suicide' drives they outlawed about 20 yrs. back. for the last 5 yrs. before i joined up i owned and piloted a retrofit with one of them in it. That I'm here is proof that i'm either the luckyist fool on this base or I'm latently psychic. take you pick. At any rate, I've dealt mostly with the stuff your not supposed to fly through... jovian storms, spacial anomolies, all sorts of things. I'm only really here cause my engine compartment took off into deepspace without the rest of the ship, and I need something new, anyway. "</b> </span>

    "Munchousin Drive, eh? My old BM-408's had those stock. Ripped em out after i got my jumpdrive. Ever tried high speed manuvering in a 20 ton freighter with a malfunctioning Transphasic Generator?"
    *Ed didnt know if it was the fact that she was one of the few women on the station that would talk to him, or the fact that she could very well fly rings around him, But Ed could feel somthing, deep inside him, a warm fuzzy feeling. Could this be...?

    <span style='color:orange'>"Yeah, Khan, Aikido is part of Hapkido. Along with karate, jujitsu, tae-kwon-do, judo, a bit of ninjitsu I think, and I think that's about it."
    *walks over to introduce himself to Dea*
    "Hi, I'm Anthony, in the field, just call me Darkness, or just Dark, or even 'Hey, you, senor d***head'. Well, maybe not that last one. I'm a close-quarters combat specialist, best with a shotgun and a melee weapon of some description. There's a guy on the station called Terran, in our last mission he attacked a Fade with a lead pipe. And later I had every bone in my body broken several times by an Onos that thought I was a speed bump."</span>
