Mission with Yamato

[childofrebellion]

Cassian reviews the mission briefing and identicard that he's put together for Yamato. This is the sort of mission that he needs Yamato's skills for, but he wants to insure that Yamato has all of the intel before he agrees to anything.

He sips his caf at the counter as he waits and adjusts some code on his datapad.

Its impressive to watch Yamato change and Cassian's grateful for the small amount of privacy they have.

"I ordered dinner, they have good service on this route. I booked that hotel you liked before with the good view."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

The sighing noise Yamato makes has an abundance of disdain behind it.

"I suppose we'll see how good their service really is," he says, managing to sound both disinterested and unconvinced.

[childofrebellion]

"I told them all your requests and you know I know them."

There's a knock with the call of dinner and a basic protocol droid enters asking,

"Is all up to your specifications?"

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato skims his eyes over the compartment, and then over the droid, with the minimum of movement.

"It will suffice," he allows.

[childofrebellion]

The droid makes an affirmative noise before leaving, the food is hot, not very complex but good quality.

Then there's the strange sensation of entering hyperspace. Cassian looks over to Yamato to see how he's taking it.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

It's a strange feeling, and Yamato's eyebrow rises just a little as it hits him -- but it's not so strange as passing through a Gate, and he doesn't seem all that perturbed by it.

Stranger than the actual physical sensation is the reminder that he's actually in space, something staggeringly few people from his world can say, and moreover, travelling between planets.

He can't exactly say any of that right now, though, so instead he digs into his food.

[childofrebellion]

As this is a nicer quality compartment, there is a viewing window to watch the stars go blue.

"A smooth transition." Cassian says, its the kind of statement his cover would make, while providing an opening for Yamato to ask questions.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato's gaze flicks over to Cassian, just for a moment.

Most of his questions are about the finer points of the engineering of the hyperdrive, and the physical principles they operate on, and he's not sure that Cassian has the time or the scientific expertise to answer them all.

"Very smooth," he remarks, mildly, instead. "When we return home, I'll be sure to look into the schematics of this particular shuttle."

Or 'I'll be sure to research hyperdrives.' Either one.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian wouldn't have the expertise for all the whys of a hyperdrive running but could answer some of the hows and show an engine,

"They're a reliable model."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato at least takes that opening, flicking his gaze over to Cassian again.

"Oh? What model are they?"

[childofrebellion]

"A variation on the Star Commuter, larger version in the length so they can a private compartment or two out of it. Good finishings on this one."

He sips his caf and considers the improvements made to the ship.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"I've seen better," Yamato says, blandly, tracing a finger along the edge of the table like he's looking for dust. "But at least it's not a long trip."

[childofrebellion]

"No, I can go over the itinerary with you to see if I've missed anything that you want to see."

Also a good way to review and plan without drawing attention.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Please do," Yamato replies, settling his hand on his chin and staring out the window.

[childofrebellion]

"Once we're at the hotel, I'll take care of our registration. The hall opens tonight which is a good opportunity to learn the layout. I've marked the vendors I know you prefer to set up appointments. As well as a few talks on improvements that are in the works."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Sounds like it'll be a hectic schedule," Yamato notes. "Still, I'm sure we can find something useful while we're there."

[childofrebellion]

"I believe so and I'm also investigating the best way to attend the starfighter race."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato may crack an excited grin at that, just for a moment.

"Hopefully it'll be a better show than the last one I attended," he says, rather flatly, even though he's still grinning a little. "I swear half of those fellows didn't know how to fly."

[childofrebellion]

"No, they tried but this one should get better pilots."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"I do hope so. Nothing like watching a good race to get the blood pumping."

[childofrebellion]

"The pilots on Jelucan are meant to be impressive and the routes they fly."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"The routes? What about them?"

[childofrebellion]

"Interesting rock formations though the air's fairly polluted so that adds to the adventure of any race."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Certainly exciting. Perhaps it will be worth my time to watch after all."

[childofrebellion]

"It should be and apparently there are even interesting betting pools on it."
