I'm on the trail of the elusive muse…at least I'm thinking about stuff now. Thanks ALSW, AddictedtoTsuzukiTatsumi and SithKnight-Galen for your reviews.

Drabble 3 – Blue.

Blue was his favorite color and always had been, so when they offered him his choice of Veritechs he picked a blue one.

When Veritechs were replaced by Alphas, his was blue.

When he was promoted and given an office, he wasn't asked. It was just painted blue.

A rookie pilot asked him one day why he loved blue so much.

He turned on the young man with fire in his eyes and responded with, "It's been a lucky color for me."

Four squadrons painted their Alphas blue the next day, and many more squadrons did the same shortly thereafter.
