His mouth opened to point out the absurdity of keeping him in quarters when the distress call from Cymoon 1 had been so clearly urgent, yet he could see from the hardness of her gaze that there was nothing he could say which would change Versine's mind.<br/><br/><em>The path into that darkest of forests had been closed to him once again...</em><br/><br/>He simply nodded in silent acknowledgement of her question, taking some small satisfaction in the petulant literalness with which he'd taken her admonishment not to 'say another word'.<br/><br/>Being led away from the bridge, Kader kept in step with the troopers and stood tall, giving no clue of the utter revulsion he felt at the thought of being cooped up in quarters while the open field of space taunted him from outside. Exhaling deeply, he considered what this meant for him. Nothing could keep him on board this ship...and he knew what he had to do would spell an end to his career...<br/><br/>"She's right, you know." He said to his escorts through gritted teeth, keeping his eyes forward as they approached the crew quarters. "It's a straightforward enough mission. I'm sure you boys will all do just fine. I overreacted back there."<br/><br/>The only way he could stand saying these lies was his hope that it would leave a door open for what he had in mind later...but it would be<strong>hard</strong>to pull the wool over the eyes of these guards. They'd heard the tone in Versine's voice too.<br/><br/>"I should have clarified one thing, though." He glanced at the trooper to his left. "The Captain only said she didn't want me involved on Cymoon 1. You got that too, right? If something unexpected comes up and the ship needs defending...well, I trust you'll do the sensible thing and not try to stop me getting in a TIE fighter?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Deception check (Hard)</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Rolls 1 yellow (Deception Rank 1) plus 2 green (Presence 3) and 3 purple (hard difficulty).<br/>(http://www.clipular.com/c/4782595267887104.png?k=SN2KbJOuV_DRFC8sCCdwjbfHBzs)</div></div><br/><em>The guards are not fooled by Kader's sleight of speech, but perhaps a nervous technician nearby overhears the conversation and fears the thought of the ship not being fully defended in the event of an attack...possible ally for later</em>
