As she caught him following her to the wrong speeder he cleared his throat and stood up straight in an instinctual yet completely ineffective attempt to regain his dignity.  "That would be cor-actually no.  When I was serving I had to wipe a protocol droid," he responded.  "It had been assigned to-" he stopped as he realized she was already inside her speeder and half-jogged to the other one, quickly starting it up.<br/><br/>"Oh, so you came in directly through customs and then got merged into the Imperial Army after the occupation?  Wow.  I bet that was a change."  He'd heard that a lot of those officers were promoted in order to build their loyalty to the Empire.  Threats, propaganda, and even bribes paled compared to just a quietly nicer lifestyle.<br/><br/>When she asked if he missed it, he shrugged.  "I'd be so close to retirement now...hard to say, though.  I mean, doing the swoop racing thing was a great experience.  I, uh...wasn't a pilot.  I just managed the pit droids.  When Nykei-our pilot-got injured, that kinda put an end to that gig.  Seemed like a less than great idea after that, but I do get discounts on Imperial droids, so there is some benefit.  I'll always have that as long as I don't get into any trouble with them."  He nodded non-commitally at her request to contact her with anything suspicious, remembering how he'd been recording her as best he could earlier to potentially report that if things went south.<br/><br/>He was caught off guard by the offer, and briefly considered it, but his paranoia outweighed his desire.  He didn't really know much about her other than that she had some arrangement with Kam, but with all that seemed to be going on, he wanted to get back to the ship.  "I think we should get back.  I have a 'med droid' that hasn't really proven itself, and we do have a patient of sorts."<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Once dropped off back at the ship, Larasen intended to learn about their "guest," but seeing Kam in launch prep meant telling him he was cleared for takeoff and then immediately running back to the engine room, listening to the recording he'd taken and deleting it since it was mainly shit.
