As Koraline flies the Redshifter closer to the other ship, I monitor the readings on the radar. “I’m getting an ID. Looks like a BT-7 Thunderclap. Republic Spec Force class ship.

“Oh, great. Guess we know where they stand at least. Be ready to open fire on my command.” Within moments, I can see a white and orange dot against the complete backness layer out before us. I maneuver my ship closer, and the dot slowly grows into a full BT-7.

“Yeah, or not!” Luci continues to give me that look, and I eventually sign in annoyance. “We’ll let Zar’kun be the tie breaker.” I press a button to hail him at his station. “You hear all that, Zar’kun? What do you wanna do?”
