M-0018 looked at the trooper. Idle chatter. Woefully Impractical. Regulations dictate silence as not to cover radio transmissions and miss vital information.
"Maintain formation trooper, these forests are perilous and it would be inefficient to treat wounds caused by negligence."
M-0018 marched on, he disliked the lack of order in this new Empire. Infractions like this made troopers careless. Carelessness cause mistakes. Mistakes cause deaths. Acceptable loses were standard, but unnecessary deaths inhibited the chances of success. The Imperial Knight delegated to watching the rear, his attention fixed on his surroundings. His demeanor and professionalism was evident on the patrol. All commendable attributes.
The patrol had been uneventful, thankfully his services were not yet required. Perhaps the squad would return to the outpost at full operating strength.
Battle stations? Battle stations. And here she was thinking this'd be another borrrrrrring flight. That said, she deflated a little when she found it was just asteroids. They just don't have that... Oomph (or screams) she wanted. She manned one of the ship's photon launchers, twin-linked she might add. Quite a beauty really, she built and installed the new harmonic pulse relays, its payloads were much betterererer-CLANG- oh yeah asteroids. The Captain must be having a blast trying to dodge these buggers.
The crew behind her was screaming a bit, or a lot, whatever. There they were panicking, while she was sitting just here blasting space rock that was a bit too friendly with the ship.
She opened comms on her headset, "HEY CAPTAIN! HOW BOUT THIS WEATHER HUH? YOU COULD SAY IT... ROCKS! GEDDIT! HAHAHAHAHA! -oh shit- DON'T WORRY JUST FELL OFF THE CHAIR A BIT"
