Runs with Axes
Up in low Martian Orbit, ships with all sorts of callsigns, types and categories were in holding patterns, as Destroyers and Frigates climbed "up" from the terraformed planet or joined the orbital dockyards and defense stations, and a flurry of shuttles, like swarming insects drifted from all points between, the fate glow of reds, blues and yellows igniting from maneuvering thrusters and engine outlets, shining like fireflies in the dark. Today is a new beginning for a few, a return for others.
While other worlds had elements in the battlegroups, or the normal Fleets of the Dominion, even on some of these very selfsame ships, the bulk of recruits and elements of this battlegroup were the Sons and Daughters of Mars, forged to be tools of war or labor, to pay the Tithe of Mars. As the battle groups gathered the haulers and transports that Mars depended upon for imports and exports were held at bay.
As the hours pass and the day progresses, a woman with white hair leaned against a railing, wearing olive drab fatigue pants and a white tank top and a green jacket. A pair of dog tags, lingering just outside of the shit, marked her name and rank, though the green open jacket also bared the double bars of a Captain on the neck. Off to her side wearing much the same was a wild golden eyed girl with blonde hair and a smirk to her face stood off to the side, flipping a combat knife in her hands to pass the time, the two women waiting silently, one in boredom and the other with baited anticipation. And so, they waited, for new faces and old, the timer standing at 1435.

Having had a handful of days for training to finish and for the old dogs to touch upon the Martian surface if they wished it, what peace and relaxation could be afforded was given, as personal PDA's chimed in, using encrypted channels that reported various shuttle launch times and to bring and order that those who were old would know, and those who were new would soon learn.
