Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elladan surveyed the chiss cooly before answering. 'I'd hoped you'd answer as much. It would seem some things never change. Now, tell me, to what do I owe the honor of the visit in my region of Imperial space? I know you would not have come to my invitation unless you had an underlying reason..."

Time was up. The ISD Slayer had been cleared for hyperspace jump.

"Send a comm line down to the planet to Wryylok's shuttle. Tell him our orders have changed. He should of had control of the planet by now anyway," the deck officer stated.

Ferno took a little nod towards the officer. HM spoke for the lord. "Is that... improperly addressing a superior officer, commander?"

The officer, taken slightly aback, rebounded quickly and confidentally. "Yes Lord Ferno. It must have slipped my usual habits. I will accept the punishment mi'lord."

"What was your motivation for this insubordination?"

"I do not believe the Lord Ferno would revel in such an inferior sith such as Wryylok being of the same rank as him, sir."

Ferno, had his mask not obscured his face, would have let the slightest smile creep upon his face. Loyalty was hard to come by these days, especially so secure. But Ferno's own award of "fully trustworthy" only came posthumously.

"Well, Admiral Veers, it seems you have assumed correctly, this time. I suggest, however, this problem cure itself, lest you make a mistake in front of the Emperor Krayt."

The officer looked at the droid for a second, before replying, "I'm afraid you are mistaken. I'm but a mere captain."

"Admiral?"

Veers finally understood, snapping to a most erect attention, and giving a salute. "Yes, mi'lord."

Moments later, the Slayer jumped to hyperspace, towards the Bestine system.

(( Padme: That's cool. ^^ I was debating an interlude in which Freya's Jedi brother and his master are introduced. *points to RP help thread, where details are being hashed out* Though I'll probably hold off 'til we hit Mon Cal. ))

Had he a properly equipped faceplate, Rusty would have most likely smiled. "Glad you asked." he replied cheerily. Using his holograph projector, he displayed an image of the watery world. "Also known as Dac, or simply Calamari, it is a watery world. The Mon Calamari themselves are a civilized, cultured people, talented in the arts and science. They co-exist with the Quarren, though most would have you believe that the latter are not as civilized. It's two native races are amphibious, allowing them to live comfortably on either land, or in the sea." As he described the two races, he showed holographs of representatives of them. "A Mon Calamari served alongside Freya's ancestor in Emerald Squadron. Unfortunately, however, he perished during the Battle of Yavin," Moving on, he then mentioned the valiant Admiral Ackbar, and his Role during the Battle of Endor. "He and Lando Calrissian led the space fleet during that battle, as General Han Solo and his team disabled the second Death Star's shield generator on the ground."
"Ackbar served the Rebellion, later to be known as the New Republic for many years. Another interesting side note is that his niece, Cilghal, was found to be Force-sensitive, and became one of the first knights of Master Skywalker's New Jedi Order."

"What would give you such an impression?" Vaan said skeptically. "And I came from Bespin, not Chiss space." he added.

Ashe laughed behind him. One of Vaan's favorite "games" to play with another officer was to just counteract every word with utter truth. It would drive someone mad.

"Ah, but before Bespin, you at some point came from Chiss space. It doesn't matter if it was a week ago or a year, you were there."

Vaan raised a skeptical eyebrow.

"And why may I ask are you tracking ships exiting Chiss Space? And yet, how do you know that I came from Chiss Space? Perhaps I was merely scouting the Unknown Regions."

After a couple of hours, Freya yawned, stirring to life in her bunk. "So, like, what's all the yibber yabber about?" she sleepily queried.
"Merely giving an informative report on Mon Calamari," Rusty stated. "Aurora is inquisitive, and eager to learn. Mayhaps you could do well to emulate her example?" he countered.

"You are most welcome, Lady Aurora," Rusty replied.
"All right. I'll, like, see you in a bit," Freya said, going to the cockpit. "So, anyway, like, what's the place totally about?" she queried, refering to Mon Calamari. "Besides being, like, totally watery, and fish dudes live there?"
"I don't think the good folk of Mon Calamari would appreciate being refered to as 'fish dudes'," Rusty gave an electronic sigh. "At any rate," he began, "Your assessment is somewhat accurate, if a bit on the crude side." Following that, he then recapped to Freya what he'd told Aurora moments before.
