"Well boys and girls, here we are. Seeing as how we're the first people to get here, I hope you know how to dig yourself an igloo or two. One way to keep warm is to snuggle up to someone else. Or you could just donn pounds upon pounds of blubber and fur. Either way, we're going to freeze our chobbits off... except the girls... and the rest of you guys with small cajones. As for setting up a base, that's not the problem. Prime real estate boys, premade base from those nice people known as pirates. The only trick is how to survive. According to the general information given to the weather is a tad chilly. Today's forecast predicts a chance of blizzards in the late afternoon, with temperatures reaching a high of -10 below, tonight with temps below -50. Buckle up kiddies. You've reached the galaxy's largest icecube...."
Orrin was being completely sarcastic, but he remembered to add one more thing.
"We're not quite there yet. Time for some fun. Anyone scared of some asteroids?"

"Anyone afraid of asteroids?" Kefka mimicked as he waited for landing clearance.

"I'm still wondering where the carrier for those TIEs are. But I guess we should be safe for a while. Anyone up for a race? Besides Kefka, since he has to change his pilot suit?"

"Orrin, not only are you a d**k, but you're also a pain in the a**, you know that?"

"A race?" Gendis asked. "Given my exceedingly high stats in piloting fields that I'm not aware of, I don't see how you could possibly win against me... up for it anyway?"

"First, a nebula, and now an asteroid field," Zendia muttered. "The Empire would be nuts to invade this base," she laughed in a humorless manner. "Well, Rusty, let's see how good the shields are on these here X-wings, yes?" With that, Rusty cranked as much juice as he could into the shields.

"And Kefka, not only are you arrogant, but your ignorance is amazing at times. So, Me, G-unit, and the lady are up to racing.... sounds good."

"We have specific orders to defend the convoy as they clear landing. I know that there's nothing to defend them from, but still, if you plan on zipping around the asteroid like idiots, you'll risk a court-martial. So if you value your status as a member of the Rebellion against the Empire, then don't do it."Kefka sighed, not wanting to sound like a priss.

"Who said I felt like racing?" Zendia retorted. "I'll do it, only if there's no other way to get to Hoth. Otherwise ... got a clear path for us, boss?" she asked Kefka.

"Pfft. Court Martial. Technically, you're going to have to stop me, or as my superior officer, you'll catch hell too, Kefka. And I joined the Rebellion as a rebel. If I wanted to be an Imp, I would have joined the imperial navy. Just because you are a higher officer than me don't mean you know any better either," Orrin said, hitting the engines for the asteroids.

Gendis easily weaved around asteroids towards the growing white ball of ice, bringing all energy to the engines. "Sorry, commander. We'll save you a patch of ice for yeh when we get there."
His fighter screached through space, or would have if sound was possible in space, and thoroughly pleased with the speed and maneuverability of the craft, he pushed it still farther. "You wanna make bets now?"

"Technically, I can say I tried to stop you and that you defied orders and went off. Or I can fire at you, and get a definate martial. Your choice."

"You'll have to catch us to do that, commander." Gendis blew a very loud raspberry into the com and continued hurtling recklessly toward Hoth, but keeping his snubfighter under precise control.

"You know what, I quit!" Kefka said exasperatedly as he followed them down.

"Ah, the kid finally shows he has some cajones... Though his odds are 15:4 against according to the house," Orrin said, spinning his craft through a narrow gap before three asteroids collided with each other.
"Plus, what will they do to us anyway? Lock us up on a very hostile planet? Kick us out? Hurt me worse, please..."
