"You want to get buddy buddy, you'll get plenty of that from your squadron. But I did promise you the long version of what just happened, and you've been cleared for it."<br/><br/>"As for turning me in, well..." she did her best to disguise a pained look behind another swig. "They tend not to tell the recruits about the worst of the ISB's interrogation practices. They'll break you eventually. They break everyone. Provided I don't get to you first. Nothing personal Kader. It's just the one thing the Birdwatchers are good at."<br/><br/>"Anyway, let's start by filling you in on what just happened," she said, obviously eager to change topics. "My job was to provide a hyperspace triangulation signal for our squadron. Without me, our fighters would have had to jump in farther from the station, and get past the Corvettes and their fighters before they could start their attack run. With the<em>Caveat's</em>transponder system acting as a beacon, though, they could jump in right past the<em>Raiders</em>and make their attack, while the<em>Tranquility</em>kept them occupied.<br/><br/>"In the meantime," she continued, "I grabbed whatever intel I could from the<em>Caveat</em>'s computers. Not a lot terribly exciting, but you never know what will come in useful. Like when the hotheaded pilot who matches the template recruiting profile will decide he's had enough of the Empire and try to make a break for it. Man, I couldn't have timed that better if I'd planned it myself," she laughed. She seemed to be getting a little rosy cheeked, if nothing else from the beer.<br/><br/>"Of course, the real objective was actually diversionary. We wanted to draw the<em>Justicar</em>out of position, so the rest of our squadron could hit a secondary target. They should be getting back a little later."<br/><br/>Mia was happy to make small talk over ship personnel in with Kader. "Harkon seems nice because he's in your head," she chuckled. "He's still Intelligence. He probably has a dozen contingency plans to deal with you in case you turn out to be a double agent. But of course, you'll never know about them unless you go tattling to the Empire.<br/><br/>"Who else? Well, you met Yeoman Diranna." She smiled at this. "Treat her nice. Everyone loves her, because she loves everyone on the ship. And that's not an exaggeration. She's seen some horrible shit, and she feels like she owes the whole Rebellion." She swirled her drink pensively, as she seemed to search for words, before just finally coming out and saying it. "She may offer to sleep with you," she said, though her tone made it clear that her thought wasn't complete yet. "But you have to be okay with sharing her with the rest of the ship. I think polyamory has become her way of shrugging off slavery, but she also is acutely aware of other people's pain. If you ever come back from a mission shorthanded, she'll be the first person there to offer you a hug, and anything else that might ease the pain." She kept her gaze levelled seriously. "Like I said, treat her nice."<br/><br/>Mia continued her mental roster: "Tomorrow you'll no doubt meet Captain Ursine. She's tough as nails. Served in the Clone Wars, broke the blockade of Bacrana. Pack up your attitude when you meet her, because she doesn't take shit from anybody. And with all the medals in her cabinet, she's earned that right."<br/><br/>"If you need gear, talk to Togpa. He's the quartermaster, big Ithorian guy. He can hook you up, but make sure you bring his gear back in one piece or he'll bury you in paperwork."<br/><br/>"As for the squadron, I can't say I know them all personally," Mia said, "But I can give you a few of the big names. First off, the Tranquility fields three reduced squadrons of eight, rather than the standard twelve. The top dog is Major Adoron. He heads up the Y-wing squadron. Another no nonsense type, but he knows what he's doing. He's the guy you were hearing on the comms earlier. Lieutenant Tong was heading up the A-wing flight this mission. First time as flight leader, too. She's an odd mix of serious with something to prove. Ex-Imperial too."<br/><br/>"Out on the other strike team you have Captain Rue, who heads up the A-wing squadron as a whole. Great guy. He's basically the squadron's favourite uncle. The X-wings are headed up by Captain Vek Wyles, and Lieutenant Sadie Dremmer. They're basically the X-wing pilots you see in the holovids - wild, enthusiastic adrenaline junkies."<br/><br/>"I'm sure you'll meet more along the way, but those are the big names that come to mind," Mia concluded.
