He was deep in thought of things in the future.  He thought about how the Rebel Alliance's formal name being the Alliance to Restore the Republic.  The name always grated against him, due to his Separatist roots.  He knew that many within the hierarchy of the Alliance were former Republic loyalists.  It was to be expected to see such Republic patriotism and propaganda float about.  He shook his head in thought of that, knowing full well that the leaders of the Alliance are failing to see a huge factor as to why the Empire even came into existence.  This factor was that the Separatists saw the corruption and cumbersome ways of the Republic and wanted to be no longer a part of that.  They were blinded by war and want of a strong a central government that they practically gave Sheev Palpatine all power on a silver platter and darn near attached the shackles and collar of servitide willingly.  He did not know where the Alliance would go after the Empire fell, but he knew that those in charge should not repeat the same mistakes that led to the Clone Wars-and by extension, the Galactic Civil War.<br/><br/>The next thought to come to mind were the youth of the galaxy, and the shorter lived species in particular.  He saw that they had high ambitions, very eager to do all they can, and highly spirited.  However, he also noticed that they want a desire to have problems solved immediately and in many cases, right now.  Unfortunately, not many of the issues throughout the galaxy could be solved on the drop of a hat.  Change, especially, peaceful change is a slow and arduous process.  One that requires patience, thought, and sacrifice.  The biggest question arises in how much is the current generation willing to sacrifice to make the next generation better?  And so on and so on.  These were many thoughts that went through Fotas' head up until Melvin finally spoke to him.<br/><br/><strong>"Hey, boss, we are receiving an incoming transmission from one of the new agents meant to be coming to our Cell,</strong>Melvin reported to Fotas,<strong>The agent has all correct credentials and there are reportedly no signs of the transmission being hacked or listened into.  Should we follow routine?</strong><br/><br/>Fotas stirred from hearing this and grew a bit excited, bellowing a<strong>Ho ho ho, yes, Melvin.  Send a routine message out to the agent so that we can ensure that this agent is actually who Command sent to us.  I'll report this to Tycho immediately.</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Roger roger,"</strong>was all that Melvin jad said as he excused himself to carry forth with the transmission.<br/><br/>Melvin approached the comms station that was at their base of operations, and began to send a reply to the operative known as 'Nexu'<br/><br/><strong>"Nexu, this is uh, 'Bantha,' we have received your message and are ready to receive you.  Please go to Odund to the city of Tur.  Docking Bay 3 is where you will land, do not worry we already have it booked for you.  Wait there to receive further instructions.   Bantha out, roger roger.</strong><br/><br/>Melvin closed communications and went to check the sensors of the base to ensure there was no signs of out of the ordinary Imperial activity.<br/><br/>Fotas slithered his way through the corridors and halls of the base and approached Tycho.<br/><br/><strong>"We have recieved a communication from onenof the operatives assigned to the area.  I have had Melvin take care of the initial intake procedure,  but the rest is awaiting your command on how to proceed,"</strong>Fotas said in Basic to Tycho.<br/><br/>Basic was not a huge deal for Fotas to use, but it was a tad broken.  He has been practicing twice a week to speak more fluently and the results have shown.<br/><br/>Fotas sees potential in Tycho as a leader.  He knows that the man has seen alot in his time and is aware that the trauma involved in it would be great.  He too sometimes has Clone Wars flashbacks and it jolts him too.  But, Fotas had faith and confidence in Tycho getting the job done, so the Hutt typically served as an advisory voice for the young man.  He only typically would take charge of things should it be required of him do so.<br/><br/>Melvin continued to check the sensors while also chattering to himself.<br/><br/><strong>"I sure do like working for Fotas.  Still can't believe he chose me to stay operational when he could have kept one of the T or ST series active.  Also he never threatened me with harm nor did he treat me like I was disposable.  Strange for a Hutt, but it has to be respected.  Tycho too, the man os definitely a force of nature.  I can see why the Boss listens to his commands.  Should I call him the Big Boss or something else?"<br/></strong><br/><br/>He continued working at his station diligently until he was either satisfied with the results or commanded to do something else.<br/>
