Kaelon Virex
Character
Kael listened without interrupting, his expression steady but thoughtful, the curve of his mouth hinting at a smirk only when she threw shade at the Jedi. When she finished, he gave a small nod—slow, deliberate, the kind that said he wasn't just agreeing for the sake of it, but actually taking her words on board.
"Alright," he said quietly. "I hear you. No compass-twisting from the Jedi side of things."
His gaze flicked past her shoulder for a moment, the kind of distant look he got when gears started turning in his head. Then it came back to her, a little brighter now, his smile sharpening into something conspiratorial.
"So… speaking of choices," he said, leaning in slightly, voice dropping to a low murmur, "what if we made one before we even land?"
He tilted his head, gauging her reaction.
"I've been thinking—when we hit Endor, guard zero-zero-one is bound to be on the perimeter. We take him out—quietly—and I pose as him. It gets us in without alarms, gives me a chance to move around the grounds like I belong there. Learn patrol patterns, weak spots… all of it."
One corner of his mouth tugged up into a crooked grin.
"What do you think?"
