Following his orders, Owen pulled hard on his throttle. Following the squad's leader, he asked over the comlink. "So, I've heard a lot about this squad, but nothing really definite. What is it you're famous for, anyway?"

Excecuting a couple of maneuvers over the dunes, Kefka was interrupted by the com.
"Losing the most members in one battle without wiping out the entire unit," Kefka said dryly to Owen.

"Oh." Owen said, wondering if he should ask anymore. Finally, curiosity got the best of him, and he asked "What battle?"

Kefka sighed as he ran a quick throttle and kill test. "Yavin."

"Oh," Owen said, as he tested his speeder's ability to barrel roll. "Well, were you the ones who won the victory, or did someone else have to bail you out?" slightly embarrased at his ignorance of his squad's history, Owen coughed in his speeder. It was so hard to get reliable news when the Imps controlled the HoloNet though.

As Ace brough the speeder out of the hanger and into the free air of Hoth he heard the consent chatter over the comm on one man. "I don't think you should ask anything more. Most people don't like to talk about bad experinces. Kefka, postion please."

Just before tossing his speeder into a nosedive, Takashi broke off the manuver and headed after Kefka and Owen. "I seem to remember a small group of X-Wings going through that trench. I thought the Y-Wings would drop something nasty into the Superlaser wells, destroying the amplification crystals... But most, if not all the Y-Wings were destroyed so, I dunno how whoever destroyed the Death Star..."

((Note: Airspeeders can't barrel roll guys. They only have repulsors on the bottomside. This also means they don't go straight up and down either, with a flight ceiling.))

((Ok, thanks for the note.))
"Just wondering, commander, sorry if I brought up any bad memories." Owen said, hoping that Kefka wasn't mad at him. A bunch of new recruits had joined the squadron, and he didn't want to be for any reason out of favor with the leader.

(( Agreed, Elvis. On, another note, I'm pleased to see it moving now! ^_^ ))
Zendia commed a quick note to Owen. "Owen, was it?" she queried. "Relax. Kefka here's pretty easy going. It's the old man you have to worry about!" she chuckled. "The point is: despite the horrid attrition of combat, you guys are here." She then looked back to Kefka. "Just say when, boss," she said, patting the harpoon control panel.

((simply because that crazy pilot who 'pitched it just right' would find himself in a snowbank. Just think of Rogue squadron. What happened when you tried to pull a loop, or barrel roll?))
"Several crates are on the south end of the base. If you so desire to test out your gunning ability, the boys up here in the hangar wouldn't mind you speeding up the process of getting parts here. Its what the tow cable is used for anyway," Orrin reported over the coms.

"I don't have anyone to fire the harpoon, or I'd help out." Owen said from his cockpit, "But I'll come along to watch as you do it, so If you crash I can get there to help out quickly." wiping off his sweaty palms, he finished his statement. "I do have basic first aid training, after all."

"Okay then," Kefka said, ignoring the various comm chatter. He quickly gave Ace the coordinates, and then looked ahead.They were pretty faar out into the icy abyss now, and he decided it was time for a test.
"Okay, we have nothing to harpoon, so we'll wait until we find a rock face or something, but for now, spread out and let's test the laser systems."
