"So you're saying that we go rogue like that traitor 2187 ? Ren would have us killed in an instant". After he finished speaking TX-3176 quickly glanced at the two men sitting on either side of him and then all three men looked across the table at their captain for clarification; She in turn shook her head but continued on -
"Not rogue. No. We should just start serving ourselves as well as the First Order is all. Look around. The writing is on the wall. Think about it; there's two outcomes and either way we have no long term future."
The other three men looked puzzled, so she elaborated further, "havent you three clowns ever thought about this ?", she looked around at the others but was greeted only with silence, "look", she said, "the first outcome is that the First Order wipes out the resistance scum, that would be the best option of course, but then they won't need as many of us troopers - so what do you think is going to happen to the majority of us ?..." Captain let this hang in the air for a second or two before glancing around the mess hall to make sure no one was paying them any unwanted attention. She lowered her voice even further "...Or the second outcome is that somehow, however unlikely, the resistance wins - now in that case, and just speaking for myself here, I don't want to be hanging around to see which prison planet they ship us all off to...So to my way of thinking I want to be prepared to disappear quick time regardless of what happens"
She paused, looked around again before leaning closer to the men, "...And besides, what do you think the First Order would do if they ever found out that we four were even thinking for ourselves now ? Do you think we would get medals pinned to our chests ?"
SA-4444 had been silent up until now, but now he laughed ironically. "More likely to end up with blaster burn marks on our chests..."
"Exactly Quads" Captain Shade replied to him, "Which is why we will have to be especially careful if we decide to do this. Which reminds me, where is 9178?"
TX-3176, or Tex as he was known in the group answered, "He had to go to stores, he also said he was just heading back to his dorm afterwards".
On hearing this Shade's eyes narrowed slightly with anger. She sat in silence. She didnt move. The effect made her team uneasy.
Tex thought about what Shade had said for a moment, before looking around at the three others sat around the table. They all nodded in agreement.
"Ok", he finally said, "so go through the plan once again".
