At least not with this woman. Kader chalked it up to the fact that she may have known people who suffered such a fate, or perhaps even experienced it herself. Either way, he was willing to believe pretty much anything about what the Empire would do to get a captive to talk. Information was the most valuable weapon, and Ackermann was sure to know that better than most people.<br/><br/>"So you'd had your eye on me for a while, huh?" Kader drank and raised an eyebrow, knowing full well that he was deliberately misdirecting what she'd said. "Interesting to know."<br/><br/>His lips parted in surprise at her frankness about Diranna's promiscuity...if that was even the right word for it.<br/><br/>"I...see." He hummed. "Well, that's not something I've been told in any induction I've ever had before today, but I'll be sure to not let it go to my head if she offers."<br/><br/>The other names he committed to memory as they were mentioned. All he could bring to mind when he pictured the squadrons were the unscrupulous miscreants he'd seen portrayed by the Imperial propoganda. Of course, he'd always known better than to take that literally, but he still felt that he was probably going to need to meet these people before any positive picture of them could be formed.<br/><br/>"Sounds like Rue is a man I'll want to meet." Kader said when she was done. "I can't see myself flying an X-Wing. Wouldn't feel comfortable at the controls of anything I felt I could outmaneuver in a TIE. And at least Tong and I will have something to talk about."<br/><br/>He knocked back the last of his drink and reclined in his seat, still trying to contemplate that this was his stationing now. As for home? What did that mean for him anymore...his family were all loyal to the Empire.<br/><br/>"Forgive me for asking," he said cautiously, "but what compels you to do 'the most dangerous job in the Alliance'? Do you wake up each morning believing that there's a dramatic change in fortunes coming just around the corner? Sometimes it must feel like the galaxy is getting very small for people on this side of the conflict."<br/><br/>As he spoke he tried to keep in mind that<em>he himself</em>was on that most pressured side of the conflict now.<br/><br/>"I don't mean to be a pessimist," he clarified, "but I'd come to think of the Rebel Alliance as stone-mites. Did you have those on<em>your</em>home world? Sure, they can cause a hell of a lot of destruction, but the only challenge in getting rid of them is finding their nest. And that's only a matter of time."<br/><br/>He shrugged, hoping he hadn't seemed impolite. "I guess all I'm saying is that right now, the Empire still looks to me like an angry mason with a big bucket of boiling bug-poison. If you've got any tips on how to shake that image, beyond me buying us a second round, I hope you'll be willing to share."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Kader gains 10XP, and spends 5 on Skill: Gunner - level 1</div></div>
