Sukie paced up and down in front of her rented speeder as the RNSF Lieutenant who she'd collared as an ad hoc liaison officer looked on nervously. Sukie's own Lieutenant Tokarian had taken the delay as an excuse to light up, and made a contrast to the nervous energy of her local counterpart, blowing heavy clouds of bluish smoke up into the still morning air. They stood in a ring of speeders parked in the cobbled courtyard of Commander Xexil's estate, where RNSF troopers hurried about, checking and re-checking their weapons, running last-minute maintenance on their speeders, and generally trying to take their minds off the coming battle. A much smaller contingent of the 3rd Starborne dressed in beige armour sat about on ammunition crates smoking and shooting the breeze, blasters laid to with practiced ease.
"I mean, where can they be?" Sukie muttered to herself, her carbine swinging as she rounded another lap. "There's a hundred and twenty armed beggars read to go, and they're not here."
"Calm down, Sukie," Tokarian said, rolling her eyes. "They've got time yet. Not everyone's got the time to be a neurotic mess."
Sukie curled her lip but didn't respond, going back to her pacing. She hadn't slept well, and today's operation promised to be long, hot, and messy. Where the hell were the rest of the team?
