I have a field agent on assignment gathering intelligence on Imperial cargo shipments. Evidently, he has something valuable that needs to be reported in person.
( Of course, he was making it sound simpler than it actually was. )
He needs extraction. Are you up to the task?
I'm listening.
( Proving themselves will be easy -- it works well with SecUnit, and SecUnit is amazing all on its own.
A mission this early, though, felt strange. )
What needs to be done?
( Still, this is all very strange to him. He's never seen any sort of security unit that looks as human as this one. )
If you were Imperial, you wouldn't have made it past his assistant.
Nevertheless, full trust must be earned. You should have no issue proving yourself.
( It was all starting to come together, now. The strange mannerisms made a good bit more sense given the way SecUnit described itself. )
Very well.
While I don't necessarily trust Luthen fully, I doubt he would send anyone to Yavin that isn't at least somewhat trustworthy.
+
( certainly could have had a better introduction. usually, those better introductions didn't involve it talking, either. )
i'm a security unit. i was designed for combat and protecting clients.
( it felt odd, explaining this. it still wasn't used to
+
( The admiral fell silent for a moment, his gaze drifting elsewhere as he went through the various tasks he needed carried out. )
( There was one. One that he wouldn't risk much by sending new recruits for. )
I know it's soon, but I may have a task in mind for you.
And what kind of assurances do you seek?
A way to prove ourselves?
( It doubted it was going to be this easy to enter a rebellion, anyway. They needed to trust the new recruits as much as the new recruits needed to trust them. )
A motivation as real as any.
( A good one, no doubt. Better than many he'd heard from other recruits. )
I'm sure you understand, however, that I'll need more than just your claim. Our operation here is large, but vulnerable.
I'll need some assurances.
My humans are part of a university that are anti-Corporation and its cruel and insatiable need for power. My crew helps those in need every day.
This is just another way to help in the galaxy.
Then I'll direct my more pressing question to you for the time being.
Chief among them regards your motivation. Choosing to join the Alliance is not a decision to be made lightly, even if it is the right one.
( Crossing his arms, curious of their response. )
So why do it?
( Strange. This ship refers to it as though it's some sort of droid. What an eclectic duo. )
I suppose that's understood. I take it you're the brains of this operation, then?
SecUnit isn't a fan of talking to people -- it would rather stay behind the scenes than be the face of anything.
It simply doesn't know what to do in situations like this.
( Well. Talking to a starship is certainly a new experience. There seems to be debate over who belongs to who. )
. . . If you're apologizing for their terrible display of manners, it isn't necessary.
I'm far less concerned with pleasantries than I am with practical matters.

Why do you want to help the Alliance? What is it you bring to the table?
( Now leaning forward, his own glare is intense. An application of pressure. )
We're not looking for more self-described "believers" who run off without warning at Luthen's beckon call.
( Raddus cocked a brow slightly, though with how much secunit seemed to want to avoid eye contact, he doubted it even noticed. )
I see.
( He slouches back in his chair with a sigh. Typically he prefers to vet people /before/ they end up on Yavin. Thanks, Luthen. )
+
( and the secunit hardly even looked at the other. it wasn't usually the one doing the talking, and it really wished one of its humans were here right now. )
โโ it's the ship. my . . ship.
( felt weird saying that. )
the perihelion. it wanted to be here.
So you say.
( The admiral pulled out a chair, taking a seat at the circular table as he glared across at it like some sort of interrogation. )
You and this "partner" of yours that isn't here to speak for themself.
Sent by a man who is a never-ending source of frustration.
( it really should have put a delay on its speech already.
the realization of how much it really shouldn't have started with that was not lost on it, it seemed to be visibly embarrassed. )
the, uh . . partner i work with was interested in joining. we want to help.
That much is apparent.
( there's a gruffness to his voice, the tone of a man who has little time for Luthen's games. )
I am Admiral Raddus, of the Rebel Alliance.
I'm also a busy man with a great deal to attend to. State your business here.
( great job. its gaze shifted, eyes darting to the side and downwards slightly. )
i just got here. ( after a small pause, it added: )
and โโ sorry. i'm not from around here . . at all.
