Loretta watched as the Governor, a glutton of a man, disembarked from his shuttle. The difference between his Stormtroopers and the ones escorting the Colonel was visible. The Colonels were far more regimented, rigid, disciplined. That was something she respected. She raised her hand to indicate that her own troopers should remain where they were as she walked towards the group, the Governor walked away with his arms around two women while speaking with in a very happy tone to a Captain. Loretta would have shaken her head had she not had a reputation to upkeep. She returned the salute, while she had power over the Colonel she was technically of the same rank. So to do no less than to salute her would be disrespectful. She then nodded, giving the Colonel a once over. She had an opinion of the Governor, but Vale was much more closed. She was as rigid as a member of the ISB so it was harder to get a read on her, though there'd be cracks eventually. She hated to make opinions based on reports, after all. They were full of bias by the writer, the ones on the Governor so far had proved correct. So he would perhaps have his uses if reminded of his place.

The jury was still out on the Colonel. "I am sure the facility will be exemplary Colonel. My shuttle will be arriving there shortly with the first load of supplies. Orders are not to open any of the crates, I hope that the curiosity of your men will not get the better of them. Bad things happen to those who cannot remember their place." She turned to watch the Colonel leave heading towards the Empire Day party he was likely hosting for a wide variety of important businessmen and dignataries. Such events were useful for the future of the Empire but were also a breeding ground for less than [i]propor[/i] behaviour. "Well Colonel, it is Empire Day. A glorious day for all, is it not?"

She didn't wait for Vale to respond. "I shall attend this party, at least for a time. It would only be propor to meet my host, after all we shall be working closely together for the forseeable future." She indicated that they should begin to walk. Two of her own stormtroopers, even more rigid than those following Vale fell in behind. "Now tell me Colonel, what is the situation on Boonta?"
