Delta suddenly noticed something odd about one of the clones. He was a she.
Theres something no one bothered to tell me about. He thought with annoyance. Wonder whose bright Idea that was. well, better treat her like one of the boys.
he suddenly got up in Iota's Face.
"You! Girl! Name and Function! What do you bring to my beloved little army that makes you worth the tax dollars to clone you?!"

An unknown amount of time later, Theta opened his eyes, and blinked. Not moving, he looked around from his vantage point, to see if anyone was there. Unfortunately there was.
Damn doctor. He'll ruin everything...
He fidgeted around in his armor, unsure of what to do. The good doctor at least didn't do anything but throw kinks in his plans... which was a start.
Perhaps another Republic spy? They think they can stop me... Well... Sith on them.. Farkwads and.... other nasty names. I can't even curse in my head!
Theta rolled over the side of the bed, smashing into the ground, somewhat planning it, though not expecting to have his head pound quite as hard as it did, which effectively slowed him down enough to not play gung-ho around the med bay.
Popping his head over the table, he noticed Zeta watching.
"If you dont' tell anyone, I won't kill you. I'm trying to get out via Catch-22. Get out of here, or you'll mess it all up!"

Zeta lifted Theta back up onto the bed and cocked his head. "Catch-22? There is no such code. Only codes allowing for removal from the military without peaceful duties are 5-7, debilitating injury and incapacitation or 23-1, mental defects. As you have been chosen and your brain is monitored constantly by your helmet, mental defects are impossible to argue or fake. And you obviously are not incapacitated. If you request removal from this group, however, I can make a formal request to the captain for you."

"The a*****e would never move me. I've tried myself. Which is why the Catch-22 is important. If I can convince somebody that I believe in such codes and laws, along with several mind-numbing exercises, they might overlook the brain monitor and slap a 23-1 on me instead. Thus, I'd be mad enough to be dismissed, while in reality, sane enough to retain reality. I think it would be easier than destroying the helmet's brain monitor, woudln't you say? As it can only trace brainwaves, but if I'm sane enough to be considered insane by their standards, perhaps the red tape will decide that it is truely a case of a 23-1, and thus, I'd be off scott free. Ya dig?" Theta asked, standing up and getting off the table.

Iota was suprised that the Captain came up to her so suddenly, but maintained her stance and responded without hesitation. " Name's Iota, nickname Crash. I'm a slicer and hacker. Need anything sabotaged or reprgrammed, point me to the console or control panel and it'll happen. "

Zeta nodded. "The captain does seem to have quite a mind of his own, but perhaps the two of us together could convince him." He dug through the medical storage room until he found some of the more luxurious rations and various alcoholic juices and stored them in empty or roomy pouches on his legs and waist. He nodded at Theta. "Want one?"

" I know that if you ever hack into them and rewire their core with another array that can generate internal heat, you better get back before they blow. " Iota said. " Or, if you just wanna disable it, you can simply shut down a few systems and the thing can be reconfigured to fight for your side or salvaged for parts, and obviously, any data it may possess is free for the taking at that point. "

"Never eat or drink anything I don't cook meself usually, but in this case," Theta stated, finding the strongest stuff he could spot, and downing it completely, "I can make an exception. You know, I was originally supposed to be a Medic, but a sudden thought occured that in battle, pilots are more likely to go down then medics, so they decided to plant my sorry a** in a ship instead. Foolish bastards don't even know how bad they messed that one up. Now I have a skill that can make me escape much easier than if I was a medic..."
Theta took another bit of alcohol, before putting his helmet back on. "Don't think me a Teetotaler. I'm more Dipso than you might think. That's my theory on my philosophical side, I drank it in... at least, its just a theory. I want to wring someone's neck.. like a driving urge... I'd do yours, but then again, I might require your information when I trace whoever sent you to foil my escape."

"How Far away can you do that? and Can you shoot? At All?" He said mildly.
"You know what, never mind. All That is nice and all, but its worthless for your rank and File Tinny, which is what will be trying to kill you most frequently. so until you can hack a droid from as far a distance as Trooper Meat over there can shoot," he said, mostioning over to Psi, "then I suggest you learn as quickly as possible how to accurately shoot your rifle."
Copy stepped back and addressed his troops again.
"Those of you who I have not dressed down will get the chance to tell me how worthless you are later. until I say otherwise, you're dismissed. Except you Meat." He said pointing at Psi. "Im not finished with you yet. and you." he said, this time pointing at Iota. "I want you at the target range ASAP. and don't come back until you learn to shoot."

Psi glared at Copy still.His hand reached down for his rifle bought he had to fight the urge to go 'All Out Soggy Waffles' (as he strangley put it) on Copy.He let go and resumed standing straight as a board.Damn it,if I dont get to fly somthing soon I'm gonna do somthing really really not good.Like torch the cap'n.Or atleast set the room aflame.Does he know what he even did?No he couldn't of.I'm getting ahead of myself.I'm starting to think like that Theta.Just keep the plan straight and good,impale him on the first thing with the first chance I get.Dont think just do it.

Copy paced back and forth before Psy for a few minutes before standing directly before him. "You Don't Like me do you Trooper Meat?"

Zeta smiled. "I remember medic training. I..." he stopped there, suddenly. "...We'd better get back." He made for the door.

" At once, Captain. " Iota said, giving a quick salute before heading the to target range. At the range, she went ahead and began to shoot targets. She completed the 1st round with only half of the targets even hit, let alone any with direct hits on bullseye spots. " Hmm... Maybe if I sliced the target range's computer, I can... No, the Captain would kill me for doing that. " she thought, then began a 2nd try on the targets.

"Not one bit,sir.If I didn't have a positional disadvantage I'd place a blaster bolt between your eyes,sir.I didn't expect special treatment,I doubt any of the team did.But some of us might be a bit aggresive toward an ARC such as yourself,sir.Some might find it so overwhelming that they might just snap."His fingers clicked."And plan the demise of their captain.My point is,treat your squad with respect unless you want a mutiny.But I dont plan on making a move till your invalubility to the team expires or somone else becomes a better suited leader."He kept his eyes straight on Copy,if anything whent down.all he had to do was duck and torch the area infront of him.I doubt anyone would aprove of this but he'd rather have even Theta or the tank in command then this guy.
