Chapter 3: Archaic

Tak returned the hug to the Nautolan and said, "Good to see you again, Dran."

She took a step back, still grinning. "It's been too long! What have you been up to?"

"I would think that you, of all people, would know that already."

"Well, of course," Drana said. "But I wanted to hear you say it anyway. And I heard about your base and the girl that was taken. Tough break. I'm guessing you're here for some information on Corellia?"

Tak nodded. "That and a little more. My squadron needs disguises. Got anything for us to help blend in with the locals of Corellia?"

The green-skinned alien smirked. The tips of her headtails twitched in excitement. "I just might! I think I have some odds and ends in storage but I'll have to have the rest made. We have your squadmates' measurements so that won't be a problem. When does the mission start?"

"Asap," said Tak. "Probably tomorrow morning."

"They'll be done by then." Drana smiled again and walked through the door, beckoning Tak to follow. "Have you talked to Nik yet?"

Takeshi followed her, saying, "Yeah. Ran into him doing inventory. He said he'd meet up with us back here."

The pair walked a short distance down the hall towards one of the fitting and measuring rooms. It also doubled as a meeting room, such as now. Before entering the room, Tak spotted two familiar faces round the corner at the other end of the hall. He raised a hand, signalling Captain Tunon and Lieutenant Riamor.

"We're gonna need a couple extra chairs," he said to Drana.

Aeric and Nat made their way to Takeshi.

"Hello Tak, ma'am" he nodded to Drana. "What's the plan?"

"Captain Tunon. Lieutenant Riamor," said Tak, nodding. "This is Drana Ko, head of the wardrobe department. She will be designing and making the Corellian garb for us to wear on the mission."

Drana smiled and bowed her head. "A pleasure to meet you both," she said.

He glanced over at the Twi'lek officer for a moment before returning he gaze to the Captain. "As for the plan, I was just going about some errands that Lieutenant Riamor sent me on while we were waiting for you. Anyway, I suppose this is as good of place for a meeting as any."

The Nautolan woman stepped back toward the door once the men had entered. "I'll leave you alone. Not my place to hear classified things, though I hear plenty of it through rumours anyway. We'll talk later, kay Tak?"

"Of course," he replied. Once the door had closed and they were seated, Tak said, "Okay. I have our disguises in place. They'll be ready by tomorrow morning. What are we doing for transportation? Obviously no X-Wings...not that we have enough to spare at the moment. Only someone incredibly brave or incredibly stupid would dare undertake this kind of mission to Corellia in the symbol of the Republic military."

"Not at all. I was thinking we could grab ourselves an impounded freighter and a couple of uglies. Repaint those, change the transponders and everything, and suddenly we're a group of smugglers looking to spend some hard-stolen credits in Coronet City."

Takeshi nodded. "Jaim and I also have our own ships if we need to split up."

Jaim strode into the room at that moment. "Sorry to interrupt. Captain, I've gotten in contact with Jysella, who covered my ass last mission, as well as some other characters in Coronet. At this moment her electronics chief is working on a path into Tyrena for us, so we won't have to deal with CorSec."

Aeric turned, surprised, to the newcomer. "Well...excellent. That sounds great." He turned back to everyone. "Excuse me a moment." He turned on his comlink and walked a short distance away. "Brier, do you read?"

"Yeah. Hang on." There was a lot of noise in the background, slowly softening to a low hum as Brier moved out of the cantina. "Hello? This is Brier."

"Hey, it's Aeric. I was wondering if you could do me a small favor."

"Mmm? What's that?" Brier sounded a bit amused over the comm, however.

Tak looked at Jaim then at Nat then at Aeric before looking back at Jaim. "We're in a random room in the middle of a labyrinth of corridors. How did you find me?"

"I need you to search through those intelligence-type channels of yours and find us a freighter we can borrow from the NRDF."

"Why borrow from NRDF? I can get stuff like that without bothering them. What's up?" Brier moved away from the cantina a bit more, trying to have a bit more privacy than she had where she was.

"Can you? That's great! We're basically going to play smuggler for a little bit."

Brier couldn't help but burst out laughing. A good several minutes later, she was able to catch her breath to respond. "So what exactly are we looking for...?" She had a wry note in her voice.

"Something fast but inconspicuous. It's also gotta be able to hold the entire squadron at least. Some weaponry wouldn't be bad either."

"I got a ship here, and several of my buddies that owe me have some pretty nice rides as well. Is it squadron only, or are we putting fighters on them as well?"

"Squadron only. Bringing X-Wings is just going to get us in trouble. And we shouldn't be doing any fighting in the air on this mission anyway."

"Lovely. How about my ship? She should hold everyone. Droids, too."

"YZ-775. Decent sized, used to being seen on and around Corellia anyways. When do you want her prepped and ready for the squadron?"

"I'm familiar with it. It's a good ship. I'll have to talk it over with the others, but I think we should depart within a day or two, if possible."

"Alright. Wonderful. Well, I'm going to head back to the Cantina to hang out with some people. Comm me if you need me, and the ship will be prepped by tomorrow morning. Have a nice day, Captain."

"You too, Brier. And thanks." He switched off his comm and rejoined the others.

Brier simply grinned like a kid who's Lifeday came early, and headed back inside.
