Shona listened intently as Blade began, her attention shifting between her CO, her PADD’s files and the holoprojector as she occasionally made notes in the margins here and there. The mission didn’t sound too bad, not much different from some of the standard simulator programs – albeit maybe more like two or three programs combined.

Her machine was configured with recon in mind, with its medium-light armour and the new optics package. She hesitated for just a second before she made a note to put herself forward for a scouting role. 

She was surprised when a message window popped up on her screen. It was Oliver, the techie tiger she’d spoken to earlier. She smiled, a little flattered at the offer. Keeping one ear on the Q&A session, she quickly tapped out a response. “Sure. Coding was never my strong suit, but I have some experience. My Rapier’s LOS has some new programs that might help too.”
