"You're correct. It's uncommon for a drell to leave Kahje, but from what I understand Talyet is quite happy he did. If you ask him nicely, I'm sure he'll tell you why sometime." Her eyes followed Cole as he stood and paced, noting the standard fatigues encompassing his body.  They'd have to get him an entirely new wardrobe to replace them. New shirts and trousers with soft ballistic armor sewn into the fabrics, boots, and an upgrade to his shields to protect him when heavy armor wasn't a viable option. Regardless of perceived anonymity, Cole wasn't part of the military anymore. Fatigues could attract unwanted attention, especially when traveling to planets like Omega. Omega's reigning criminal queen, Aria T'Loak, would have Cole pegged long before the Anzio approached, but that didn't mean the rest of Omega's population needed to have their curiosity piqued.<br/><br/>She was pleased to see he had decided to indulge his curiosity and wander over to the bar. His willingness to explore relayed a sense of confidence despite the information overload dumped onto him. He was comfortable with her, at least to some degree. Not yet ready to take a glass for himself, but then Reese had only served herself water, entertaining the possibility that Cole's new placement wouldn't suit him. "There are many benefits to operating outside of the law, Vanes. If you've never tasted elcor chocolate, remind me to pick some up for you next time we're in Illium. Just be ready to be knocked on your ass and hallucinate for at least the next twelve hours."<br/><br/>The Lieutenant's response was better than she had anticipated. Her own acceptance of her new role hadn't come quite as easily after she had been plucked from her role in the Alliance, but she had no desire to watch Cole struggle with the same ambivalent emotions she had. This, she decided, was preferable. "Excellent. I'm honored to have you on board, Lieutenant. Cole," she added swiftly, grinning as she stood. "Give me one moment to change into something that doesn't suggest I'm looking for a date and I'll show you around the ship, find a good place for you to bunk."<br/><br/>She slipped away, striding toward what looked to be an empty white wall. She pressed her fingers against a blue holographic panel, revealing a hidden door as it slid to the side. Careful hands sifted through a modest wardrobe,  quickly settling on thigh hugging pants and a simple black shirt. The Commander harbored little shame, turning her back to Cole as she let her dress fall from her shoulders and tumble from her hips. Beneath the flowing fabric she wore only a lacy black bra and thong with matching pistols attached to her thighs. She removed her holsters, dressed herself in simpler garb, and turned back to Cole.<br/><br/>"Shall we?"
