A Shift in the Service

It had been months since the stupid interview/interrogation by military intelligence. Laurin snorted at the greatest oxymoron in Republic life. Still the SpecForce missions were rarely boring and there were plently of them which kept her mind off these matters. Despite her blue skin and rigid ways she had found a home, comradeship among her fellow soliders. It's always dangerous when you get too comfortable, and things were about to change...a lot.

Upon the shuttle returning to republic fleet, a holocron message was awaiting the Captain. "Report to the XO's office immediately" Thinking nothing of it, Laurin immediately went. At the XO's office, his secretary seeing her immediately stood and opened the door "they're expecting you"

"They?" The secretary had the professional look of "don't know, don't need to know, don't want to know"

Upon entering the room the XO was clearly fuming. In front of him were 2 civilians, yet Laurin immediatley knew they were no civilians. They were way too calm in front of the intimitating XO to be simple civilians.

"Ahh, Captain Laurin, it's good to finally meet you" His thick accent immedately giving him away as an Imperial.
"Ok, this is getting interesting" Laurin thought.
"Really?" Then ignoring him address the XO. "You wanted to see me sir?"

"Yes Captain, take a seat"
"These....men are from SIS. This one (pointing at the Imperial), isn't here, and this one has new orders for you."
"Sir?"
The XO, clearly unhappy said nothing and just looked at the SIS gentleman who had yet to speak.
Calmly the man stood and looked directly at Laurin.
"Yes, that's her all right"
"Captain Laurin, I won't waste your time with pleasantrys and we'll get right to the point. This man before you is a defector. He was an Imperial fleet commander. (Laurin's face clearly showing she didn't care at all)
"The Empire is not yet aware of his defection and we've conviced him to return as a double agent, and we need someone to fly him back to Imperial Space"
"You want me to fly him back?" Questioned Laurin, glancing over at the XO who was stubbornly looking out a window while rapping his fingers on his desk.
"Intially yes. And then you are to be his attachee. You are to become our spy in Empire space too. And do you know why Captain?"
"I'm going to assume you already know the answer to that question" retorted Laurin.
"Quite. Because this man was your sisters commanding officer. And she is only listed as MIA, despite the fact you blew her head off on Ilum. As such it will be easy for you to assume her old role in the Imperial Fleet and with his recommendation be granted a higher security clearance. Any questions?"
"Go to hell, I don't take orders from you" spat Laurin.
"You do now...Laurin" The XO retorted, emphasising the fact he didn't say Captain. "Your transfer papers are here signed and approved. Good Luck"
"So that's that then sir?"
The XO was again looking out the window indicating this meeting was over.
Laurin, mainting her composure turned to the SIS agent. "So, when do we go?"
"Right now"

Recruiting RP ceremony beginning in    whisper for invite

Whisper for more details soldiers. */salute*

Welcome to the screening phase for the elite fighting unit of the Republic military. We have high fatality rate because we do the most dangerous of missions, without fear, without hesitation. We are soldiers, not monsters.

Therefore, there are some that are too young to die. All soldiers must be 18 years or older. If you are 18 years or older, take one step forward. (Article 1)

Sorry solider, thank you for trying, but without parental consent, Republic SpecForce must deny your application. ((would need your parents or guardian to be on Teamspeak to give the founder of the guilds permission for you to join us))

(Article 2) As we are the cutting edge of the Republic Military, we conduct ourselves a step above the rest. We are in uniform. Failure to be in uniform will result in disciplinary action and/or removal from SpecForce.

Our uniform is heavy armour in white/red, or red/white colours. We wear this uniform 24/7, because we are ready 24/7 to take down imperial scum. If you are willing to comply with this regulation, take one step forward.

((help will be given in obtaining your first uniform, don't worry))

(Article 3) We do things by the numbers and your nametags will display either the rank you hold in SpecForce or any other title you have obtained via your completed missions.

((i.e. only wear the title Sergeant, Lieutenant if you have that rank in the guild)).

To complete the recruiting process you need to place your mark here.

Lieutenant Laurin

The Questions Begin

Laurin sat in a steel chair in a small windowless room. A large obviously 2 way mirror stretched across one wall.  The room was void of any decoration. Clearly an interrogation room.

Laurin waited. 10, 20, 30 minutes. She never moved yet her mind was racing with questions. Why now? Why this interrogation now? Why are my loyalites being questioned now?

Laurin had defected to the Republic Armed Forces 2 years prior and had been assigned to Fleet and then quickly transferred to the special forces division (aka Republic SpecForce).

An average looking man, with an average build, the kind of man who is easily forgotten entered the room and took a seat opposite Laurin. He seemed brimming with confidence but as he looked upon Laurin his confidence visibly erroded. He had interrogated many defectors, officers accused of underhanded dealings and he was good at his job. But never had he sat opposite a Chiss before. Laurin's scowling expression with a marble like blue complexion and burning red eyes easily put him on edge.

He coughed nervously and Laurin enjoyed seeing his discomfort.

"Lets start with your name" as he pushed his datapad to begin recording the session.
Laurin's eyes stared impassively at the man, already having no respect for him whatsoever. No response.
"Your name?" The man repeated.
Laurin's disdain became apparent even to her questioner. Instead she cocked her head to the side in a questioning manner.
The man, while not stupid, got the point.
"Right...then let's get right to it. You're probably curious as to why we are having this interview now"
Laurin took in a deeper breath and let out an audible sigh of impatience. If looks could kill, there wouldn't be much left of the man for the mop up crew to find.

"Right, right. Ok, um. When you first came to us you were assigned to fleet and then transferred to special forces" The man looked up hesitantly, interpreting Laurin's silence as confirmation.
"Right" he began to sweat a little. "SIS was then assigned to investigate your initial claims to the reasons why you defected. They have found all they can about you from their Imperial plants. There are obviously some gaps that we would like filled in."

Inwardly Laurin was quietly relived. If the SIS had done a good job, this interview is nothing more than curiosity. She knew it would have been well documented by her superiors in the Chiss and Empire fleet alike as to how much she despised the Empire.

You have a twin sister serving with Imperial fleet? The man again looked up from his datapad.

Laurins face gave nothing away. In a voice that seemed to lower the room temperature Laurin spoke.
"Had"
"Had? Elaborate please Lieutenant"
"I put a blaster between her eyes and pulled the trigger" in a voice devoid of emotion.

The officers and politicians behind the mirrored wall paused and took note of this revelation.

The man was clearly at a loss for words. He hoped his earpiece would come alive to give him instructions as to what line of questioning he should now take.
Then it did come alive after too long a pause. "Ask her why you idiot"

"Ahh, umm, why did you do that Lieutenant?"
"Because she followed the Imperial dogma. I didn't you bueaurocratic datapad loving nerfherder. Is there a point to all this? In case you haven't noticed the Empire is making plans and executing them all across the galaxy and you're wanting a family history lesson? My job is to kill Imps. How many have you killed? Don't worry, that's a rhetorical question.

As quickly as her outburst was, it subsided just as quick, and she fell back in to a quiet emotionless interviewee.

The man's earpiece crackled to life again, "She is dismissed"

"Ok, umm, your free to go Lieutenant"

Laurin stood and addressed the mirror.
"If you want answers, ask me yourself. You know exactly where I'll be. She then left the room in a relaxed unhurried manner.

Behind the mirror the conversation continued. "I don't doubt her loyalty, but I think there is more in her past that could aid us. Keep digging."
"Yes sir."
