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.

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."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Predictable enough. There's hardly any point if no credits are changing hands."

[childofrebellion]

"No, of course not."

An announcement comes over the system to say that they're nearing their destination.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Small mercies," Yamato says, with affected weariness, at that announcement. "My bags, Willix, if you would."

[childofrebellion]

"Yes, sir."

There's the strange sensation as they leave hyperspace and Cassian gets the bags as the landing announcement begins including one to keep your identicards at the ready.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato makes sure he has his identicard to hand, then gives Cassian a quick nod, just to show he's ready.

Since they're about to be heading out to where people can see them, he also dials up that authoritative aura he has again, to maximum 'everyone must obey me immediately' levels.

[childofrebellion]

And Cassian shrinks down as they exit the ship into a busy spaceport. Various speeders are lined up and Cassian spots one connected to the hotel they're staying at.

The speeder takes them to an elegant and busy hotel, which is full of signs for the convention that's nearby. Mainly humans with a few aliens, the Empire has a strong hold on Jelucan but the convention brings them in.

At the desk, Cassian checks them in, it was a clever bit of slicing to get them into this hotel and convention and soon they're led to a suite, not the best but a nice one.
