The first Admiral, Admiral Firmus Piett that lasted this long under the command of Darth Vader.
General Maxillium Veers has finished his shift. He goes to the office lounge to have a light break before going back to his office to review the reports. There aren't many officers in the office lounge at this moment. The night shift has just started, most of the crew has gone to sleep and only a small part of the crew is working in the night shift. One of the offices in the office lounge is the admiral of the ship.
Admiral Firmus Piett. His friend.
"Admiral." He greets him as he sits next to him.
"General." Firmus nods.
When Firmus Piett first onboard the Executor, he is assigned as a Captain by Lord Vader. After Admiral Ozzel's failure, Firmus is assigned as the Admiral. The interesting thing is that Firmus has not been asphyxiated, even after the event of Bespin.
"Firmus, congrats." Max said, sitting down next to him.
Firmus looks blankly at him, "On?"
"You become the first Admiral that survives this long under Lord Vader's command." Max said, he leans in and whispers, "The juniors have created a fan club. Caption 'The greatest Admiral in the Empire' ."
"Max, don't. I don't have time to deal with this. I need to find out where Skywalker is." He sighs and drinks a sip of his caf, he adds, "Please find out who created it and tell them to take it down. "
Max notices what is troubling Firmus, he comments, "Skywalker. He really is the problem." Max drinks a sip of Corellian wine, "Anyway, you should check out the comments on the fan club. Firmus, they admire you. They even know things I don't even know."
Firmus turns sharply, "You were in this ridiculous club? What did they know?"
"Yes, I overheard a cadet speaking of this club so I joined in and saw what they were doing. It turns out they share every little detail of you in this group. Of course, I can't waste this chance." Max explains.
"Max, just leave this group and ask the admin to delete this group."
Max ignores his comment, he remembers something he needs to ask him, "Why didn't you tell me you were suffering from constipation?"
Firmus looks absurdly at him, "What?! Constipation? No, I'm not. How did you come up with that idea?"
"Apparently, when you used the restroom, you were inside for way too long and you seldom go to the restroom." Max pauses, studies Firmus, "If you aren't suffering from constipation then why are you in the restroom for so long?"
"I'm reading reports and frankly I forgot the time." Firmus whispered
Max smirks, "This is more like you. Who knows the great admiral had forgotten his time when reading a report in the restroom."
"Keep it down." He hissed
"Maybe you should consider not to read reports in the restroom." Max advises.
Firmus glances up, look at the chronometer. "It's late, go get some sleep, Max. I will be going."
Max watches his friend leave the lounge. He finishes his wine before heading to his office to read some reports. Max opens the report, stops midway, glances at the datapad. He thinks for a while before deciding to open the fan club page, scrolling through the newest news they had on Firmus.
They do not have any news on Firmus, it seems like they have gone to sleep as the chat room is quiet. He scrolls through their previous conversation. One of the conversations catches his eyes.
*Anyone has news on the admiral? I felt like we didn't have much information on him? How can we be like him? He is so calm when talking to Lord Vader.*
*Maybe we can ask General Veers? Since the admiral is close with General Veers.*
*How are you going to ask him? The moment you ask him, He will know something is wrong.*
*You make us sound like a stalker.*
*I doubt the General will know everything. He may be Admiral's friend but that doesn't mean he knows everything about him.*
*Don't drag us if you're gonna ask the General!*
Max barks a laugh, "Not a chance, kids. I won't tell you anything if you are going to ask me. Not a chance."
Good to know he knows something those kids do not. He has lots of memories with Firmus back in the academy.
