When the Jedi had suddenly told her that the station was in danger, she was mildly suspicious of how he knew anything would happen let alone where but the threat alone was one that had to be followed up on. She turned to the second in command of the guard detail and immediately barked orders. Cassandra falling into commander mode. "Get him to the safe house now. Leave nothing to chance, Anybody from our group breaks protocol arrest them on the spot. I'm going to go figure out just what the hell this threat in red sector is. The package takes top priority, let's get it done." As she finished that sentence her comm came to life. The _Pax_ was finding minor sensor inconsistencies, blips appearing then disappearing as soon as they appeared, power readings that then suddenly go away, and bursts of static in the communications system. The ship was new, so things like this were usually written off. This time though, Cassandra had been wanted to be kept informed of any malfunctions the ship experienced due to the sensitivity and importance of this mission. Now with a Jedi telling them they were all going to die she was not about to simply write it off. Besides which her own gut was screaming that something was incredibly wrong here, and Cassandra had long ago learned that those feelings were what kept you alive. But only so long as you actually heeded them. "I have a jedi telling me we are all in danger. Investigate these malfunctions, see if there is any pattern of consistency between these things. Shoot one of the blips if you have to, I don't think these are simple calibration errors. Assume the worst until I check in again, I'll fill out all the necessary paperwork if we end up with nothing." Cassandra was already running toward the elevator as she cut the line. She was thankful both for all the training she had received long ago and the fact that something might actually be happening here. She quickly caught up to the Jedi. "Alright, I now have a dignitary be shuffled off to a secure location and a ship likely going into red alert right now. Know I'll have your ass if you're wrong, and worse if you are tricking me."
Yutaka thought over the options remaining hidden as best he could. He wanted one of the others to take the lead. Let then be first to the glory, and the bullets, he figured.

"My vote is for the VIP entrance. Less chance of real security in there anyway. If you can get me into their network, I can start getting some doors open for us." He said quietly that only the others would hear. The sooner he was in his element, the happier and better off he would be.
She tuned out as the Jedi started to talk shop. To her piloting was part of the job, not a particular passion of hers.

"I'm sure one of the diplomat's would be more capable of answering your questions about the facility and its products." She said, actually coming back when for the first time in a long time somebody asked who she was.

"I am Colonel Cassandra Alaric, Commando and bodyguard for him." She thumbed to her boss at that. The slight sneer held back.
Her visor trained on the boy, an assassin generally didn't walk up to a bodyguard and ask who their target was, so she didn't send him away. Part of her was also glad for the fact that this Jedi gave her superior a reason to stay away. With him being so absentminded though she made sure to keep him far enough away she could react if she needed to. The comm kicked on as she spoke, her voice unfiltered in any way as was standard, with a response that was rote with no attempt made to try and hide it.

"He is Giddean Kuat, heir to Kuat Drive Yards and Chosen Successor to lead the Republic of Kuat. Son of the patriarch of the Kuat family, all glory to them and the Republic." She regarded him further, he obviously wasn't a master by any stretch of the imagination. Hopefully this kid didn't try anything stupid with his distinct lack of diplomatic skills. Last thing that was needed was an incident caused by a minor Jedi.

"And who are you? Which delegation are you with kid?" Her voice was much less formal now, and the lack of concern involving a force sensitive evident in her voice and body language now.
Fully armed and armored now, Cassandra dutifully followed as the group walked through the hangar. The diplomatic attaches and security force was once again as large as allowed. This time though, she was glad for his arrogance, it allowed her to actually adequately protect the poor bastard for once. However she very quickly had to resist the urge to stab him herself as the man snaked an arm around her waist.

"You really should reconsider becoming my Telbun, I'm sure I could convince my father to allow it. Your family would be set for life." Every muscle screamed to strangle the shit for his suggestion and presuming she would do it for a big enough check. However she managed to hold back.

"Thank you sir, but it would be unprofessional and unseemly. You must present yourself in a manner appropriate for your station sir." She said, her voice emotionless while she thanked every god in the galaxy for the tinted visor on her helmet. If one could see inside the helmet they would see gritted teeth and eyes promising a very painful death. She was thankful as their path brought them by some Jedi on the docks. She managed to extricated herself in the name of establishing the standard distance required between them and her charge.
Cassandra stood aboard the Pax Victorem, a 550 meter long medium-heavy cruiser that was the most technologically advanced ship Kuati Drive Yards had designed yet. It was sleek and very obviously armed, at once a show of force, wealth, and being just small enough to not be a direct threat to any of the other delegations. Cassandra stood against the wall of the bridge, watching over her charge and the man who was technically her superior officer. A son of the head of Kuati drive yards, he was an intelligent moron in her estimation. Not worthy of being regarded by his name, as his professionalism when it came to her was practically non-existent. He had slung his arm over her shoulders and called her Cass to the point where either thing simply made her want to hit whoever had the nerve to do so, and in some cases she did. Today seemed to be no exception as she was called to his side while they came out of hyperspace.

"Time to make our grand entrance Cass." He said as the station came into view.

"Please sir, call me Cassandra or Colonel Alaric, even simply Colonel will suffice." She replied, the line well practiced to hide her annoyance.

"Nonsense Cass, Cass is a better name for you anyway. You should lighten up more." He replied, Cassandra's eye twitching lightly at the repeated usage, but she remained dutiful and said nothing. The com came alive as the station hailed them.

Military vessel, state your purpose in this part of space immediately.

Obviously the attempt to impress had instead been interpreted as a threat. Considering they sat right on the verge of what would be deemed unacceptable it was no surprise.

"Why we are here for the Conclave of course." He replied as they sent the proper codes along with the required information on their ship, and nothing more. A sigh could be heard as they confirmed the ship was in fact beneath regulation for what was allowed, arguably. With the com now off the fool turned to her to begin grousing.

"He sighed at me, how dare he sigh at me. He understands nothing of the nature of these things. You must show your best self to your peers or else you look like a fool."

Too late. She though as she replied with a simple yes sir. The location of their docking being sent to them as the ship began to move to the destination. Her hand momentarily clenching into a fist as he continued to whine at her the entire time. She forced her hand to unclench as part of her wanted nothing more than to strangle the thing in front of her. Were it not for some of the others on this ship and in the drive yards itself sharing her opinions behind closed doors, she may seriously have considered going AWOL. Cassandra would never do it, but she would have come close.
Had Gar meet up with those who were originally in the hangar control room.
I'm interested.
There we go, a post of Gar joining the larger hanger group now up.
