PART 3

Technical officer Raymond Lei was less than happy about his previous assignment, launching patrols on Bellassa against Imperial forces. While it was a rare opportunity for actual action, the technical officer (equivalent of a warrant officer), was not one for combat. He was hardly a pacifist, having first served the New Republic in many mopping-up operations, but placed more emphasis on the safety of his droids than himself. That was why he rode in the clunky and uncomfortable cargo hold of his GR75 transport, despite its practical emptiness on this mission. He would prefer to spend time with his droid who was allocated a space in here. K1-L3R, whom Lei nicknamed 'softie', was his favourite droid to work with. Despite being armed with four heavy blasters and weighing over half a tonne, he did not like deploying her in combat. An anti-personnel droid, she was designed as a cheaper and more effective alternative to light, obsolescent walkers, and therefore acted as a carrier mule for her weaponry, needing humanoid input (Lei's) to receive instruction's which would then be operated independently, deploying force autonomously only when threatened. having been assigned together for almost a year, droid and operator had become attached, and neither wished to be thrust into battle neither was suited for.

At this moment, as he reflected on the leave he would be taking back on Corellia, Lei's comm's panel lit up:

'Technical officer Lei?', said the voice.

'Affirmative'.

'This is Lieutenant Dreyfus, letting you know that HQ on Corellia want us to redirect to the Nubia System, you and your droid are needed apparently, they aren't telling us what for'.

'Roger that'.

'Err. . . it's Lieutenant Dreyfus, not Roger, who's Roger?-'

Lei hung up on the inexperienced pilot, who could be heard from the bridge yapping on about his unexplained passenger, Roger. 'Looks like we're being deployed again softie'.

'Beep, beep, beep-beep', responded K1-L3R in an excited tone, the aptly-named droid liked getting to shoot things.

Thank you for viewing yet another one of my small vignettes, comments and feedback are welcome, and hopefully I'll have a more substantial MOC to post soon.
