"The Blade of Marmora sure train their agents well." Katora commented. She paused the video of the interrogation right as vace had sent his blade flying.
"And I don't?" Vace asked. He was already a little ticked off that he got nothing from the interrogation. And to make matters worse Sendak was making sure he knew what waited for him if he failed.
"Now you know that's not what I meant," Katora said. She flipped her braid back over her shoulder as she slide the tablet towards him, "Why don't you go ask Thrace? He did pretty well in there at least give him the chance to prove himself in other areas."
"And the reason your not offering me any of your input?"
"I've got lab reports to write up," Kotora replied with a wink. Her yellow eyes smiling bright as she turned back to her files.
"Right," Vace said with a smirk. He picked up the tablet and left his technician to her work.

Shouting was the first thing he heard as he drew closer to the bridge. One thing he never tolerated was fighting on his ship. And from what he was hearing the shouts sounded very hostile.
"You've only been here a week, and you're already acting like your better than us!" One voice said.
"I'm not. I'm simply making sure that you know your conversation was very treasonous in context." Thace snapped.
"What's it to you?" A third voice asked.
"I'm loyal to the Galra empire and in turn the commander of this ship. Which is Vace. Any conversation going against him is considered treason and therefore punishable by death." Thace said. "Should I be questioning your loyalty?"
"Why you little bi-"
"He does have a point," Vace spoke, finally making his presence known. "Should I be questioning your loyalty?" His eyes narrowed as he observed the reaction of the two guards.
Any argument from before faded from their lips. They shook their heads, eyes wide with panic. Wondering as to what was coming next.
"Get out of my sight! And be sure that I never hear of something like this again." Vace bit at them. The two guards nodded, saluted, and then fled the room.
"There was no reason for you to bite their heads of like you did," Vace commented, "I've barely been your commander for a week. If anything they should be lecturing you. So why speak up?"
"It's what any bro-I mean soilder should do for their commander no matter how long they've been under them." Thace replied.
There was something in his stare. Something that one wouldn't find between a soilder and commander. No. This was something different. Something he couldn't quite place.
Pushing the thought from his mind he extended the tablet towards Thace. "I want you to review the footage of the interrogation and tell me where you think we should head next."
Thace took the tablet, nodding. "I will see what I can find."
