[h2]Briefing[/h2] 

The Commandant 'Tavik' did something Pib did not expect and pulled him aside. On second thought, he should not be surprised. From what he had heard of the Rebel Alliance, their soldiers were brave for common people, but lacking in skill. He should have seen that he would be singled out. Still, this stick of a man had a peculiar way of giving praise, and a very foolish way of gazing at the Mandalorian unless he did not want the Empire to be his only problem. 

"From my experience, practicing live fire inside of a Common area is looked down upon by... others." he said, giving off the vibe he was going to reply with less diplomatic wording. "But yes, the Battle Circle is what is to be expected of my unit." 

The blouse comment had Lieutenant Dosa going silent, and as Tavik walked away, he would never realize just how close he was to being challenged then and their to a battle to the death. In fact, Dosa would kill him. But only when the war was over. 

He began to move again, footsteps echoing off the metal hallway until he stepped into the meeting room. He remained relatively quiet during the briefing, not giving any indication that he disapproved of their orders. Truthfully, he fully expected to move forward and hold the bridge, capture this 'Lorne' alive, and then clean up the mess others would have made after they mopped up their areas. He only hoped they had plenty of opposition.

They took the news of their orders in a matter-of-fact manner, nodding and hefting their fists in acknowledgement. "What do you suggest, Chieftan?" his 2nd in command asked. 

"We'll use Dragon formation first after we hold our first position." he replied, citing the maneuver that emphasizes large firepower and shock tactics followed by blades. "Afterwords, we'll split and surround, holding the bridge and re-deploy into smaller units once we receive confirmation that the others have failed or succeeded." 

The others saluted, and Pib Dosa stood to his full height, hefting his blaster. "[i]Mando'ad draar digu[/i]." 

"Ready for the fight." they replied.
