TaneOh, great. Sergeant Dorne's here to make sure we got stomped according to regulation.Elara DorneReport, Ensign. Did you learn anything about the enemy?TaneUh, yes, sir, Sergeant, sir. As I was just telling the lieutenant here, we were captured for some guy named Needles. And get this: There are Imperials here, on Taris! They're working with this Needles guy in a hidden base out in the swamps.MeteorSounds like you overheard quite a bit.TaneYes, sir, Lieutenant. The scavengers were pretty sloppy about talking in front of us. So, are you excited, Dorne? You'll finally have the chance to correct your old buddies' paperwork again!MeteorThis is no time for jokes, Ensign. Speak plainly.TaneUh, yes, sir, Lieutenant. Sorry, sir.Elara DorneMany of the local troops feel that my adherence to regulations is a result of my upbringing, Lieutenant. I was born Imperial. However, after two years' service in the Imperial military, I defected. Given my extensive knowledge and training, I was awarded this position under Service Code 37-R.MeteorWhat made you change sides?Elara DorneThe Imperials regularly violated their own stated regulations and intentions, without cause. I refused to participate.MeteorI'm not happy that you hid this from me, Sergeant.Elara DorneThe personal details I am required to disclose are clearly designated in Service Code 5, subsection three, Lieutenant. We can discuss non-mission-critical issues later.My team and I will get these men back to base, Lieutenant. You proceed with your mission against Needles and his Imperial installation.MeteorI have the lead I was after. Time to act on it.Elara DorneI'm glad I could help point you in the right direction, sir. Good luck. |
