New Imperial Order IC

[KitanaVorr]

Meiko frowned at the quietness but shrugged. Well, she would have to find some other way to pay him back then. Obviously she made it too easy.

Stretching out on the bed, she rested her head on her hands, staring at the ceiling. The air was rather cold, and it brought out goosebumps along whatever part of her skin was bared, but she paid no mind to that at all.

Her thoughts rested on the mission and the men who had just be outside her door. What was the purpose of bringing them all together? Three people, and who knows about the fourth, who would never consort with each other outside of this mission. A mission none of them had a clue what it was about.

Meiko didn't relish having to wear that ridiculous blonde wig and blue contacts for the remainder of this trip. How long would she have to disguise her identity? Especially now that they were returning to her home planet of Corellia where Lady Meiko would be recognized...it would behoove her not to be recognize as Phoenix.

Turning over on her side, the young woman sighed again, closing her eyes, the black lashes tickling her cheeks. That was something she didn't have to worry about yet.

Nap time.

Cabe, who had been standing introspectively (and very, very confused) in the space just inside the ship, is glad to hear the speakers shut off. "Hello?" he says again, his voice regaining some confidence.

"If you're going to Correlia, I think we're ready to go," says the man he saw earlier, and strides away towards the cockpit before anything more can be asked of him, leaving Cabe in confusion for a few more moments.

Then he sees a striking and confident man carrying a white cloak in his arms and resists the urge to smile in relief. He salutes the figure, judging him by his poise and aura of confidence that he's the commanding officer of the operation.

"Sir. ISB special operative Cabe Docam reporting for duty." He holds the salute, hoping that he's guessed rightly as to the identity of the man. If he's guessed wrong, it's not a terrible misstep by Imperial standards to salute someone of equal or lesser rank, but the sooner he can figure out who he can take orders from, the better it is for him. Except in combat, Cabe isn't one to take the initiative.

ooc: I know that adventuring parties are generally unstructured, but Cabe is the sort who prefers to be following orders, so I'm afraid I'm gonna ask who's running this shindig- which one of us is at least nominally in charge here, Jemal? What's my rank, etc?

OOC continued: I don't know who IS in charge, but Xado thinks that he's in command inside the ship. Though so does Phoenix and Mang .

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

ooc: Yeah, that's why I wondered. Leaving us to argue over who's in charge seems much more of a thing the New Republic rabble would do, not us disciplined Imperials! Three cheers for order. And commence goose-stepping on three, etc.

 

[Xael]

OOC: Yeah, but theoretically only Mang could have some officer rank because he's a Jedi, so Cabe probably saluted the right guy. Xado and Phoenix are just some rabble picked up to work. ...Which also means that they don't respect ranks as much.

OCC:

Meiko is not rabble! She's Corellian nobility!

Well, I think out of the three of us, Mang is probably the most "in charge" level-headed one. I think Xado and Phoenix will be bickering the whole trip.

Oh and as Meiko would say...."Goose-stepping is soooo last season. Now we do the duck-waddle."

 

[Xael]

Meiko is not rabble! She's Corellian nobility!

OOC: Do you think the Imperials think so?

You know, we have like three times as much messages as the Republic side, and we're just leaving.

 

[KitanaVorr]

OOC: Do you think the Imperials think so?

OOC: LOL well, this group only knows her as Phoenix the slicer and she is trying desparately to keep both identities separate, but we'll see how long that will last.

 

[Xael]

...but we'll see how long that will last.

OOC: The other option is that Xado snaps, starts laughing manically, and the rams a Capital ship head-on.

Vek-Tu nodded to Cabe in acknowledgment. “Next time don’t be late, Mr. Docam,” he instructed in a calm, cool voice without any hint of anger. Mang scanned the other man up and down, noting him carefully. “Stow your things and then let the Captain know that we’re ready to go.” With that, he turned back to his quarters to settle in for the voyage. Just how he would approach this pilot and young woman, the proper method to instruct them, would require meditation. At least the last member of the mission seemed to understand the value of proper etiquette and protocol, even if he would need some work on timeliness.

Ah, what a list of tasks indeed!
