Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Gendis, remember that many of your so-called soldiers are simply clones as well. No families to really leave behind, besides their fellow troopers. Not to mention, Tarkin was a great man, despite the irony. While wrong, he was still great. However, I think more pressing matters dictates the situation. There's nothing out here, I suggest we land and consider bolstering our squadron. The Grahie will have more than enough room for us four... three, actually, since one of us got shot down." Orrin stated, indicating the Nebulon-B in amongst the transports.

"Do as you please. If nothing else, we can work out something. I imagine that droid of hers wouldn't mind playing chauffer with a fighter once or twice." Orrin stated, landing in one of the several Interior landing bays in the Nebulon B known as the Grahie. "And Zendia, don't assume a clone isn't still alive simply due to two decades of time. Remember many of them were mass-produced, and due to the sudden abrupt end of the war, I would not be surprized if the Empire had a sudden surplus of the Barves."

Orrin went to other things, closing the link to the Drunken Bantha. He had pressing matters to attend to, and he wasn't about to rely on Kefka to do it all.

"Emerald Twelve to Grahie, prep all willing pilots on board who wish to try out of the squad to meet up in the hangar in one hour precisely. We shall start immediately."

Azure was wondering the halls of the Grahie when she heard the anouncement for all willing pilots to rpeort to the hanger in one hour. Finally, this is what I came here for she thought as she took off for the hanger followed by her R2 unit.

Kefka barely had time for anything, since the new pilots would be arriving within an hour. He quickly changed into a new flightsuit and arrived back in the hangar and picked up Icy from servicing.

"Hello." Azure told Gendis as she entered the hanger. She then turned to the woman who had adressed her. "Yes. I would very much like to try out. I've heard of Emerald Squadron's reputation and wish to join. I'm Azure by the way." she said as she extended a blue hand.

Orrin sat in the hangar, datapad ready. He had been thinking for the last half hour how he was going to pull this off. How was he supposed to test the students?

Of course, he hadn't considered much besides the test. He began thinking about something else. Wasn't this Kefka's job? Nah. The kid can't even keep himself together at times. Eh, let the kid mature. Orrin got back to work.

Zendia took the proffered hand. "Welcome aboard. I am Zendia Starsinger," At a small beep, she also added "This is Rusty, my astromech." she said, beaming, indicating a rust colored R5 unit. She then looked back to the twi'lek lady whom introduced herself as Azure. "I really don't know about reputation," she sheepishly chuckled. "As they said, Yavin was rough. My own fighter was shot down, as well, and Rusty and I had to hoof our way to the hangar, and flag down a transport to hitch a ride. Not easy when you're dodging stormies,"
