[@SansTheMedic] [quote=@SansTheMedic] Almost as soon as that last sentence was finished, Holdo would find the barrel of a DP-23 shotgun pressed to her temple, the clone's eyes open and staring coldly at her through the visor of the salmon-highlighted helmet. [u]SEVERAL YEARS PRIOR[/u] "You understand your objective, soldier?" The officer across the table asked as CT-6871, codename Carter, made some final preperations on his equipment. [color=f7976a]"I am to act as a bodyguard to the entity known as Vehia under the orders of chancellor palpatine, with a cover of being a member of the Couroscant guard. I am to accept orders from either the chancellor or the girl in my charge and nobody else. I am to ensure her nature is not revealed to anyone at all costs, and ensure that if any spills occur to mop it up appropriately. Is that correct, sir?"[/color] Carter asked as he slid his weaponary into the appropriate slots on his armour before putting his phase ii helmet on "Correct. You will be entering cryo-statis inside the storage facility Vehia is being kept in and will be thawed out upon the opening of either of your pods. You will most likely be woken either by one of our own or by the chancellor himself." [color=f7976a]"And if I am not, sir?"[/color] "How you approach that and any similar situation is up to you. You'll be acting under your own instinct and wit for the most part, 6871." [color=f7976a]"Understood, sir."[/color] [u]PRESENT DAY[/u] Carter could tell quite easily that this wasn't someone who was supposed to have woken him, unless things had changed [i]significantly[/i] while he had been in cryo stasis. However he could also tell that this place was not where he had been stored, so there was a likelyhood that he was in potentially hostile territory. Still, his gun was up and inches from the oddly-haired woman's face, and he was gonna be very concice with his words. No point in not making himself clear to these people. [color=f7976a]"I don't want to start a fight if I don't need to"[/color] he says slowly, voice level and deliberate, [color=f7976a]"But you aren't what I expected to see when I went into stasis so you best tell me who you are. Any bullshitting and I [i]will[/i] blast you, and you don't contend with clones when it comes to making a good shot."[/color] [/quote] “Don’t just stand there Earhen! Use your Echani Martial arts to save me!” “I'm fine right here, not unless you can like triple my payment here? I thought you didn’t need me and some spast babe.” “Oh Kriff off!” “Fine you deal with the angry Mandalorian clone while I call Hirog about my Fee.” Holdo looked back at the clone with a shotgun pointed into her direction. “Okay okay okay I’ll triple your price just get him to lower his gun!” “Ok clone just informing you…it's been two decades since the clone wars ended.” The dark skinned white haired Human with silver eyes began to explain.
