Loreley nodded to the wing commander. Hugging Teal tightly, she smiled at him, 'Hey, who are you calling kid? You're not much older than me.' Realising that she had been pressing her breasts against Teal's chest all the while, she broke the hug, and blushed a little in embarrassment, 'Uhm, it's been a while, hasn't it? We have to catch up when we get the chance. How's your ship, can it fly?' She sat back down in the pilot's chair and prepped the ship to return to the Lion.
He searches fruitlessly before finally hearing a noise from the bathroom. Going tactically through the stalls, he sees a young man cowering on a toilet with his hands up. "I surrender!"
"Not much older, but I am older. Ergo, you're a kid. Plus, I'm a senior commander, and you're a junior commander, so I get to call you what I want". He grins. "Catch up? You bet. Unfortunately, those rebel bastards blew up the Dauntless' engines. She won't fly again without repairs." He sits down in the other seat. "So, you've got your own squadron now? Who'd you have to kill to get that gig?"
"Get out, slowly. And keep your hands above your head." He ordered, pointing his heavy blaster, ready to fire if he tried anything. "How'd your people find this wreckage so quickly?" He asked, motioning for the man to kneel.
Over time, they manage to wipe out the droids from cover. The door to the factory grows hot, as security droids get close to cutting through it. Yasmeena shouts at them to get into the spire, and moves up from cover to cover, gunning down the few remaining B1s, while Paz destroys a B2 gunning for her.
Fendrat smile and whisper back to her. "Don't worry, I have some money save." He said and look at team. "But our work doesn't yet be done. Officer, did we have more task to do?"
Loreley waited for the troopers to finish their final sweep of the ship, 'Blasted rebels, how could we fall for their damn false info and walk right into a trap?' She gave him her most brilliant smile, enjoying catching up with her cousin and old friend, 'Yes, I do and I only had to kill a few rebels to make it. Though... the other pilots in the squadron said their commanding officers kept dying... so that might have something to do with it too.' She shook her head and chuckled, 'They gave me the unlucky squadron. How about you? How come you are commanding an Arquitens cruiser, last time we talked you were flying bombers.'
"Not that I know of. I mean, this ship did take a hell of a beating. If you really aren't done, you could try to fix the communications."
Fendrat nod. Communication and contact betheen commander and soldiers are realy important what he was learn in accademy. " All right team, we have work to do. " He said preparing tools.
He laughs. "Actually, my story isn't that different to yours. I was only on the Dauntless to get transferred to Motti's flagship. I was getting my own wing. Unfortunately, Motti's flagship blew up, with my wing on it." He looks deflated. "Well, after that, the commander of the Dauntless died, and then so did his 2IC. Then his 3IC, and so on and so forth, until I was the highest ranked officer aboard."
They enter a well furnished room, littered with destroyed droids. Dano shuts the door. "We need to get to the top. That's where the console will be". He gestures to the stairs.
Loreley gulped and frowned, 'Damn, what a slaughter.' She went over to Teal and looked him over more closely, 'You're not hurt are you?' 'We lost our wing commander too,' Loreley said, 'The pilot who left us just before is Beta squadron's commander, he took up temporary command of the wing. Maybe you can become our new wing commander.' She smiled.
Groaning, Cara and Enzo join him, as well as two human engineers who aren't under his command. They explain that they're hoping to get a bonus. The officer leads them up to the bridge. "You have one hell of a work ethic". He holds out his hand. "I'm Reakk, by the way." After a second he says "Yeah, yeah, Reakk reeks, I've heard the jokes".
"What's the name of your crew then?" He asked with a sigh, circling around the young man while his heavy blaster is aimed at the pirate's chest.
Seeing her look at him, he asks "I'm fine. How about you? Did the Rebs attack you?" He looks Loreley over, concerned, but she sees that his eyes linger on her breasts for just a second more than appropriate, before he tears them away. "You'd want me to be your CO? Sounds like fun. I'd get to call you kid all the time".
Fendrat wake for human to join them. If he have some highter rank, he would say they are going to discover some secret information, but he wasn't that important. "Yeh, I hearing worse jokes. But I didn't remeber them, I taking them by one ear and letting out by secend."
