Communications Inbound (Vaudin Miir)

[Captain Wells]

Captain Wells half jogged, half ran, through the Senate building. He wore the Warden armor of the Grand Army and carried a PDW-M1 Neutralizer in one hand. In the other hand, he carried a small holodisk with the latest communications from Alderaan to Fleet High Command.

The majority of the Naval officers were either engaged or on deployment in various sectors of the Republic. What was there was the Reactionary Fleet, but the commander had taken ill. Wells knew of one individual who could authorize the fleet to move, though. He was heading there now.

Wells burst through the doors and tossed a quick salute, letting the Neutralizer hang on a three-point sling.

"Sir, message from Alderaan. They're asking for the fleet to launch an assault on Alderaan, sir," he said, his accent clear as day.

Vaudin sat bolt upright as the Captain burst in which sent the togruta woman to the floor unceremoniously. He looked at the captain and then the intern before standing to take the disk.

"The blazes do you mean attack Alderaan?" He said shoving the disk into his 'pad and quickly read the message, "Sunova bantha lovin Kark filled crate on a blasted karking mynock."

Vaudin adjusted his clothes to be less embarrassing and helped the togruta woman leave.

"Get me the fleet commanders and tell them I want them ready to leave on the hour." Vaudin said before pouring a shot and drinking it down.

"All Fleet commanders are on maneuvers in other sectors of the Republic. The Reactionary Fleet commander is ill and in the hospital at the moment, Sir," Wells stated, coming to an at-ease position.

"There's a commander on the way that can meet the fleet en route, but it'll just be him and some officers on a shuttle, Sir. I don't know their names, it wasn't on the holodisk. The fleets are ready to go, Sir. Have been since Alderaan was hit. Troops are loaded on board as well."

"Get your shiny tail in gear and get me a shuttle!" Vaudin said rounding the desk and clipping on his blasters. "I'll command the blasted fleet."

He slupped on his vest and checked the charge on his twin pistols as he walked passsed the captain into the corridor.

"15 years as a damned pirate and now I gotta be a blasted autority figure." Vaudin said as he walked toward the lift, "bout time we stopped playing whose hand with these Sith and kick them like we got a pair."

Vaudin waited for the captain and stuffed a cigar in his teeth for effect more than anything.

"You comin or not short shot?"

 

[Captain Wells]

"Yes, Sir!" Wells said.

The Captain followed the Senator to the lift and hopped in. He hit corresponding floor level on the control panel and watched as the doors closed and the lift started moving.

After a few seconds, Wells decided to speak.

"With all due respect, Sir," the soldier said politely. "You have a commendable eye for the female form."

"You saw nothing Wells." Vaudin said calmly, "or I'll get a speach from Grayson about senators misbehaving....scratch that you saw everything. I could use a visit from Miss Grand Master."

They entered the lift and headed up to the shuttles. Vaudin wasn't one for lots of wasyed action or time. Hr 2as trained by Jorus Merrill, that meant everything could be fixed by a fast ship and a shotgun...or most everything anyway.

 

[Captain Wells]

"Saw what, sir?" Wells answered with a straight face. "I was simply offering the compliment, sir."

Wells pulled out a tactical map on his datapad as they headed to the shuttles.

"One other thing, sir. The Fleet Tacticians pointed out we have an opportunity. The Omega Protectorate has launched an invasion against Sith-Occupied Coruscant. They theorize that we could launch an invasion against Coruscant and piggy-back onto theirs or we could answer the reaction call to hit Alderaan before they can evac their troops there and shift over to repel the Protectorate invasion. There's a good chance either one will succeed, sir. It's really just a matter of preference and allocation of resources. If Alderaan falls, the fleet there has, from what the reports say, enough ships and maneuver room to evacuate those on planet."

"Blast the bloody force for choices." Vaudin said as he was walking to the ships, "Flip a coin and try to get a message to Popo."

Vaudin left the lift and walked to the Shuttle.

"Let's take back Coruscant it will cut off their advance." Vaudin relied as he hopped into the shuttle.
