The Chief Yeoman murmured into his comm.,

"Commodore Rowan is here, Sir," and getting a reply looked at Silas, "Sir Laurence is waiting for you in the small conference room Sir." and pointed across to the single door. Nodding his thanks, Silas entered the room. He viewed the combination of occupants unhappily, Sir Laurence AND 'Cruncher' Milligan. He became even unhappier when Sir Laurence spoke to him.

"Help yourself to a brew, Silas. We're waiting for Sir James to arrive; he was delayed at the First Lord's meeting; no, nothing to do with this matter. There are times, very few and quickly quashed I hasten to say, when I think I'd like a good war going somewhere so I could with justification pass matters like this off to an assistant. Its just that a peace time Navy seems riddled with egos and intrigue and politics."

The First Space Lord had arrived to hear the last observation.

"And do you really think a war would make any difference? All the study and reading of post war memoirs and histories makes me overjoyed we are at peace. I've long held the opinion that wars are fought on two fronts – one against your enemies and the second against your so called friends and colleagues.

"That's a bit cynical isn't it?" 'Cruncher' remonstrated. Sir James shrugged and got his coffee. As he settled he asked generally.

"What's this meeting about that it needs the First Space Lord?"

"The Cockerel and his Flock," said Sir Laurence, "'The Crypt', as they were once known during their sojourn at Weapons' Development Bureau."

He went on in response to quixical eyebrows of Sir James and 'Red'; Silas just slumped lower in his chair,

"Hezbediah Matthius Samuel McCock, Ensign, Grenoble Defense Force, seconded to Wep Dev;

Eric B. Denholt, PO2, RMN;

Liznargh A. Gort, PO2, RMN;

Sabajhi C. Indira, PO2, RMN;

Gregor A. Kowalski, PO2, RMN;

They are serving as a special research unit out of my office."

As the list was being detailed, 'Cruncher' Milligan's face was becoming a strange shade of red, deeper though than his hair,

"They were junior NCO's" he managed to splutter.

"Well, not McCock" pointed out Sir Laurence,

"The GDF" continued Milligan, "which hasn't existed for the past fifty years gets put in command of a section dealing with warship manning and assisted by four junior NCO's?"

Sir Laurence replied,

"That's all we had and we thought rightly that they would stay under the horizon of the traditionalists. This might explain McCock," he passed a chip to Milligan and another to Sir James who waved it away,

"If that's his paper to Raoul, I've read it!"

Milligan digested the summary as the others enjoyed their coffee.

"Thoreau still good?" enquired Sir James. Sir Laurence nodded.

Milligan passed the chip back,

"Let me tell my story. Four junior NCO's; my staff is going to crap. Appears Colin Bonder, he's got "Naseby", he and his Tac officer Bert Filister, were in the gallery for the second day of that competition and watched my little lot get their heads handed to them. That trick where that big blond makes his squadron disappear really interested Bert. He got Colin's permission, made enquiries and invited Mr. E. B. Denholt to accompany "Naseby" on a trial run; she had completed repairs first; and please bring that little black box with him plus explanation...

Denholt boards just before cast off and stands quietly at the rear of the bridge out of the way. When they are clear of the outer ring Bonder hands over to the Exec and listens as Denholt and Bert discuss that exercise. Bert says he really wants to know how to make his ship disappear and then he'll worry about the Squadron. Colin seconds that...

"We did cheat a bit", Mr Denholt admits "The scenario is a bit artificial in that there is only the one simulator. So I joined our box into" – Colin did rattle off the set number but I've forgotten it - it's the EW master - "If I may I'll hook it up." Colin quibbled about security and Mr Denholt produced a clearance signed by Diana herself saying anything in the Naval Service. Bonder was satisfied and said Denholt had the covers off, power cycle out – EW wasn't activated for this run – his little black box in situ and a test with a meter in about two minutes...

Denholt did seem to know what he was doing. He asked Bert if 'near approach' had "Naseby". They did. Denbolt asked permission to fire up the set and make an adjustment or so. Granted. Small front panel removed, meter connected, screw driver adjustment of frequency made. Denholt asked permission to bring EW on line, granted, activated the warning signal, waited for the reports from the Bosun, no one on EVA and the radio shack anchored its disks, and then tripped the switch. Colin said he always knew what the fastest unit of time was but Approach halved it, "Naseby Naseby please acknowledge stat, over." His coms said "Naseby" was still there and what was the problem. Appears "Naseby" had disappeared off their screens. Denholt pointed out that "Naseby" screens were still operating and asked if Approach would report when "Naseby" reappeared as they were trialling some equipment. After about a minute at cruise power, he switched EW back to standby and Approach confirmed reappearance. Colin and Bert got the ship's experts up into the Captain's cubby and the very technical discussion went over Colin's head, he's tac nav stream. Bert explained after Denholt had gone ashore – without his black box - I'm told it was left in situ. When the black box is tuned from the panel it goes into a mode where, when being actively swept, the shields tune to the probing signal and absorbs them. It has been tested up to five probe freqs at a time. However when the shields are so tuned, if an opposing operator is on passive and the operator is aware of the likelihood and can work his equipment, the ship can be picked up a little more easily at much shorter range as the passive operator will see a hole, but the passive operator has to know what he is doing and his set must be in first class condition. Denholt said Wep Dev had put it to the manufacturers but they squealed 'patent infringements' and are trying to come up with their own but they are really primitive and presently can only manage one frequency. To return to normal shields just to go back to set tuning. Bert got the meter readings and "you can leave that set there and show this Electrician's Mate where to connect ammeter which he is going to mount on the panel" thank you Mr Denholt...

We are at peacetime establishment level and Manning bluntly state there is no more available for us. Retraining on energy torpedoes is finished but could do with some more practice.

Another day passed before the word was received that the RMN BC squadron was returning having found no enemy out to the southeast. At that point, "Vector" began recovering her assets preparatory to returning to the fitting out yard. The only mishap was a Gnat which missed the lights and richocheted off the hull. The Gnat controller was quite shaken; the Havildar tartly remarked that perhaps next time, if ever his grounding was rescinded, he might attend to his craft rather than the female...

The features of a stressed out Aide – de – camp to Admiral Dame Diana Halliday, Captain Percy Gantry, appeared on the screen....

Aggy Book 1Chapter 17

The navigator alert notified McCock that his last way point was fast approaching. After obtaining clearance, McCock, going manual, turned and took up the yard's heading. He was pointed at a solid flare of white light, which, as he came closer translated into the glare of several large portable lights illuminating the wreckage of the yard outer gates in which was embedded one end of a barge – about three to five hundred tonnes he thought. He hoped it was the low end of that size or the inner...

"How much of this goo do we need anyway?" moaned Cowboy as he twisted himself between the barge hull and the coffer dam edges, trailing the applicator tubing over his suit's shoulder. He rotated to prevent the umbilical cord looping about the suit. "A lot" came the rumbling reply from Polack, "keep it off the sealing area – it's a devil to remove without using a vibrating chisel and that scratches the surface and that's not advised. That's me finished. How much longer for you,...

McCock went on, "When I read it, there was a major competition for racing yachts, multicrew, space capable, not hypercapable, to be held off Griffen in three T-years. We will establish our reputation by winning, I hope, that prize. It will explain why there are parts of the yard closed off; it will give cover for when we are working on it; the yard's machinery will be available for us when needed; our mock ups won't look out of place and we can space test the yachts in plain sight. EW can...

Aggy Book 1Chapter 40

Milligan completed his inspection of the HAC and departed to continue his inspection of the Navy Yard. The Horde discovered "Offspring". Whenever some of them were at loose ends, they would take "Offspring" for a run out to near space. It would have been hilarious to the Flock, listening to Flag Officers squabbling with Chiefs as to who would be coxswain, except that they were being worked hard whilst intruders were playing with their toy. However the 'put out' feeling was being...

"Can I help you?" Angie turned to a red haired woman about her age. 'Deity. Who is she? The way she holds herself;' "The lounge? I was told ... directed to the lounge. I believe there is be a confidential discussion and I have yet to complete my business." "I'm Sally McGraw, dogsbody and general factotum, the lounge is over here. Coffee?" "Angie Merton. Thank you. Both please before you ask. Have you any idea how long they'll be?" Sally shook her head, returned to her office...

The Flock were in "Shriek" doing maintenance assisted by the crew of NCOs who were presently under training. The routine was broken by McCock's com. There was a whining conversation which the others were shutting out. "Oh! Shit! SLOW?" "Dammit! Denny, not into the com, you nearly blasted my head off" aggrievedly said Slow, "I'm sitting next to you. Ooooh what's wrong?" As a blonde Denny had naturally a pale complexion but as he looked at Slow, he was almost transparent, "We...

The "Crusher" topics had been dealt with somewhat to Gold Roper's relief; he had been dragged into them and his experience and knowledge has been sorely tested by five highly dedicated minds. The topics had been widened by the introduction of "Shriek" into the simulations. The crew was kept active as was needed on the constant convoy duties to break the tedium and maintain their standards. The crew, grumbling about being underpaid and the extra work they were having to undertake, was...

Evan Cochrane was a humane man who had realized early in the deployment that, with a certain amount of finagling, he could send detachments through the Junction so that his crew members could make contact with their loved ones as much as was possible in war years. It was noticeable that the crew's adaptability allowed more partnered than single "ashore on Raffles" and the opposite in Paracelsian or Amiranti ports. Polack was one of those who enjoyed "shore leave" at Raffles but events...

The disaster at Gorgipest had burst over the faxes on Settlement. The Brown Hollow government fell. The old team were back at the Admiralty. People with relatives or friends on Gorgipest were worried. There was a number of women on Settlement who had partners and friends on 119. They were worried almost literally sick at the lack of news plus the added worry of a babe orphaned before its birth and the prospect of children never knowing a father. There were glaring gaps in the knowledge of the...

The Navy Board would have been surprised at just what McCock and his friends had been doing. He desperately needed crew for the surviving destroyers. "Shriek" needed to be in six places at once and the demands on that cohort were extreme. He enlisted navy personnel who had no work with the yards in the state they were in. He took only those who would swear to his service. This did restrict his choices but he wanted no conflicts of loyalty in his ships – "You either trust me or you...

Two pairs of women smelled a large dead rodent when the news of the proposed settlement for salvage of Gorgipest broke. There was a suspicion that the leak came from the Palace which very pointedly indicated that it did not comment on any matter. The survivors of what they called the "Death Ride" had spent a little of their time researching and discussing salvage in all its ramifications. They had come to a conclusion that GmBH as owner of the salving vessels was going to get a very big...

"This McCock fellow seems a bright young man. I like his ideas." Sir Victor Carlton glanced across at his putative commanding officer as that person flicked across the screen in his PDA. "And why's that Sir?" Captain acting Commodore Peter Scott RMN shifted his eyes to look at the other occupant of the office. Carlton was tinkering with the entrails of the desk's 'puter, "You will be able to put that back together again, won't you, Chief? I might need it from time to time for...

"I lied" McCock said bluntly to Commodore Tremaine and Captain jg Sir Victor Carlton as they stood in the Command Centre of HMS "Infamous". Sir Victor said "Aggy, I got that horrible sinking feeling when I read our orders. You wrote them didn't you? They were so vague – couldn't have written them better myself. Of course, this fine upstanding example of an RMN officer couldn't envisage anyone being so sneaky. Now the full story Sir." McCock looked at his COHAC with a slight smile;...

"Where is Andrea, Millicent?" asked McCock as the Squadron approached the Maureen's Moon junction. "She joined "Infamous"." "Without permission makes you stowaways." Millicent smiled widely, "I think I'd prefer to call myself an official observer." They sat in McCock's cabin where Millicent Utah was almost inhaling her second helping. "Where were you?" "In the Boat Bay ready room. I was there before you left and your crews regarded me as part of the furniture. We never...

"Giant" had hove to in the upper part of the epsilon hyperspace band. Captain Felix Arburthson had ever so carefully manoeuvred her to this position on the cosmos side of the Mountserrat system which sat in the outer edge of the Orion Cygnus arm of the Milky way. He had direct coms with his Commodore and his Captain D; in fact, Aggy and his Flock were on the bridge of HMS "Infamous". He had TQO "Shriek" in company and there was a wide circle of UVAs around them. His vessel's two UVAs...
