Nihl moves briskly to the console at General Koon's request.

Nihl, Lurk, Daryn, and Daevon
Jedi Master Plo Koon, once everyone had more or less assembled in the middle of the room, holds up a datacard and says, while handing it to Daryn, "This contains all of the information that we have on the Freedom Fighter. Under no circumstances is this to fall into enemy hands. Much of the information you requested will be found here." The General hands the datacard over to Daryn and continues with a nod, "As for the equipment request, Lt. Shadow has already seen the Quartermaster. Whatever he was able to obtain is what you will have to work with."The Jedi taks a deep breath and once again folds his arms across his chest. "I sense a lot of eagerness among the individuals of this group. Eagerness to prove oneself and eagerness to find out what has happened to our comrades." Master Koon looks around and continues, "Channel that eagerness into a united effort against whatever threats you encounter. If you all do not work as a team, I fear for the mission."

"Commander Medallea will have command of this mission, with Captain Nihl as his second. All communication to the Republic should be kept at a minimum, but in a pinch, Commander Medallea will contact the Jedi Council on Coruscant. Again, your mission is to find out what happened to the Freedom Fighter and uncover any new threats associated with it's disappearance. If possible, recover the ship and its crew, but under no circumstances is the ship or its resources to fall into enemy hands. May the force be with you. Dismissed."

Bri'tan
Bri'tan arrives at the hyperdrive and finds two techs packing up their gear. One looks up and says, "It should be all ready to go. The super-conducting wire is all tied in."

Shadow and Kage
At Shadow's introduction, the third trooper looks up and says, "Ah, they call me Needles, sir." Just with the way the trooper was reluctant to give his callsign, Shadow can tell there is more to the story. But before he can ask about it, the droid sped up the ramp and the squad was moving toward their bunks.

Wedging his bulk between the two techs, Bri'tan takes a closer look at the two techs work (Space Transports Repair 6D). Reaching into the compartment, he makes a couple of small adjustments, even if they arent necessary before speaking, "It will have to do," Not waiting for a response, he pulls his datapad and makes a note to go over the tech's work in detail as soon as he is able.

Passing the Clones, he looks the first one in the eye, "One of you guys should stay in the cargo hold to help stow the gear when it arrives. Stow your gear in the #3 if it will fit, put the rest in the #4 if it dosnt. If you're going to want it in a hurry, it should be stowed where you can get at it. Just make sure everything is secure." Redirecting himself towards his work cabin, "Your quarters are in front of you, to the right." As the door whispers open, he starts searching for anything that will work as a small secondary data storage device in a droid.

Daryn steps up to Koon, bowing at the waist. "Thank you, Master. We will succeed."

He starts to turn away, then turns back briefly. "Master, I wonder if you might be able to work out a small boon for me. I am, as you know, very newly Knighted. While I am away from the temple, I will be without resources to continue my training. Might you be able to work up at least a small cache of information I can study during time in hyperspace? If you can encode it and send it to me, I can read it as I am able. If not, I understand."

[dadofett]

At General Koon's "Dismissed", Nihl lets out a "yes sir".

He turns his head quickly but discreetly to face Daryn and says "You have my full cooperation commander.".

Nihl then stands ready to escort the group to the ship.

"Ok, you two take the two on the right I will take this one and the one on the left is for the boss. Drop your bags and get settled, take a look at your gear and make sure it is locked up, so that no one else can get at it. Not sure who we are dealing with here yet," Shadow says with a hand gesture to the rooms while looking around the entire area to get his bearings. (From the deck plans on the ship page Shadow directs the Salvo and Needles into their individual rooms, the four on the top of that diagram marked with the number 16s.) Shadow moves into his room and take a look around (a quick search for cameras or communicators) and sets down both his and Nihl's bag on the bed. Once he is comfortable he takes a look inside the two bags to inventory what his friend the Quartermaster had come up with, and considering the weight of the bags if felt like a pretty good amount.

Lurk fell in behind Nihl, wondering whether the deal he'd just hammered out with Medallea would clash with the general's assignment of the vatboy to 2-IC.

He'd be damned if he was gonna take orders from some clone; but Lurk was pretty sure the Jedi would be true to his word. They always were.

Kage hovers around the clones as they get settled in, staying out of their way but ensuring that they follow Bri'tan's instructions. He is happy to find that they efficiently move into their temporary quarters and stow their gear as they had been asked. Even the gear they thought they might need to get to quickly is secured properly. For a few moments, he wishes that all of their passengers could be clones. Satisfied that the clones need no further supervision---at least not at the moment---Kage putters back down to the flight deck to try and round up the rest of their passengers and seal the hatch once they are aboard.

Daryn
The Jedi Master replies, "I will see what I can do. In the meantime, study the intformation on that datacard...And Dary, trust your instincts."

Nihl and Shadow
The squad of clones all get situated in their bunks and sort through the material from the Quartermaster (OOC - A full list will be posted later tday or tomorrow). They were all impressed with what they had to work with and Nihl divides up the resources among the squad.

Kage
Kage tweets impatiently until Lurk, Daevon and then finally Daryn make it up the ramp. The little droid closes and seals the hatch and then heads to the cockpit to report to Bri'tan that all are onboard and accounted for.

(OOC - With Guardain A/Bri'tan being MIA until Monday, the Greased Nerf will not depart until then, seeing as we need the pilot. In the meantime, you can do whatever you like on the ship. I will post a few things over in the OOC thread over the weekend like: NPC info, supply list for the clones, some info from the datacard)

[Jedi Skyler]

Daryn inclines his head to Nihl. "Thank you, Captain. I will do my best to earn it."

As Master Koon gives his last bit of instruction, Daryn smiles behind his vocalizer mask and bows at the waist. "That is all I can ask, Master. Thank you, and may the Force be with you."

With that he turns on his heel and heads for the exit. "Let's go, Daevon. We need to see that our troops get settled on board."

As they head toward the ship, Daryn looks down at Daevon. "What are your impressions of our crew so far?"

[Matthias777]

Kage begins to finish putting the Greased Nerf through its preflight sequences as he and Bri'tan prepare for takeoff. Beeping at his master, his messages scroll across the console in front of the Bith pilot.
