This was most unusual.
At least, it was for the Vahla. Gram had been somewhat intent on seeing himself join the Jedi Order in some capacity - but now it seemed he was acting in accordance with the freedoms he sought to defend wherever he could. In that capacity, it seemed, the Republic needed aide. Though Gram had a diplomatic nature, he had never once considered representing his planet on a greater scale.
Likewise, neither would he expect that the people of Rhen Var and New Vahla would accept such representation. Yet, here he was, representing the Vahla as a member of a quarantine busting crew. Commenor had requested aide with it’s overcrowded spaceports - filled to the brim with the desperate hoping to escape the ravages of the AMS plague. In the scramble to escape, a wookie vessel was detained due to a suspected outbreak onboard. With little alternative, Gram and a team of specialists would enter the vessel and attempt to neutralize the virus before it took hold of the inhabitants - possibly breaching the quarantine as a result.
The Van Alasdaire was uniquely experienced in this matter. Having dealt with numerous infected on Nar Shaddaa, he believed he could deduce their most likely course of action. The infected were feral, true, but there was a good deal of organization to their chaos. A method to the madness, if one would. The creatures the virus created would be dead set on spreading the pathogen as broadly as possible. They would need to act very quickly, unless they wanted to have to destroy the shuttle entirely.
Moment like this makes me wish I had a smoke...
To that end, Gram simply waited. He was already present on the platform, clad in his crimson armor for maximum protection, though this time preferring a blaster and his single saber to anything exotic for weaponry. If his information was correct, he would be joined shortly by the members of his team. He didn’t know who would joining the outing, but the Vahla held hope they too were experienced in AMS matters.
Otherwise, this would be a very long day.
