I knew her logic wouldn't stand when the few things she didn't know were
taken into account. -Prat's Journal
Prat entered the cockpit and, without so much as a glance to the Mon Calamari in the pilot's seat, requested permission to take off from traffic control. They replied that the Vornskr could leave in fifteen standard minutes.
Elibex immediately turned to glare at him. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Going to Kitzlym," he replied, keeping his eyes on the instruments in front of him that were showing the progress of some of the many preflight procedures.
"Prat, Jan left me in command and she told us to stay put." She spoke slowly and clearly, as if she was explaining to a small child why he couldn't have an expensive toy he wanted.
"Bex," he replied in the same tone of voice, "I know that."
"Then let's shut down and stay here." She was so intent on convincing the Tatooinian that she did not see the silhouette in the doorway.
"We have to go to Kitzlym," the new voice pleaded.
Keeping an eye focused on the human, the pilot rolled the other to look at Baka. "You know you're not allowed in the cockpit."
"I'm not in the cockpit." Sometimes, the arrogant Bothan could be a real smart alec. "You saw those racks of TIEs in the base's landing bay as well as I did and you must know that the *Brilliance of Starco* is unarmed." By then, Prat had turned to watch the furry alien and the pilot had two eyes on him. What Baka said about the other ship being unarmed alarmed her. "It has good shields, but even against half a squadron of regular TIEs, it won't last long."
The Rogue Squadron fan knew that one of the main reasons fighter pilots survived was that, in addition to being able to fly well, they could shoot back and have fewer unfriendlies on their tails. These two were right, if TIEs were unleashed on the ex-Imperial vessel, it would be vaped in a matter of minutes. The only problem was that they'd enter the system a whole day after the *Brilliance.*
"Then let's get going." Her announcement caused the young nonhuman to cheer and Prat to smile. "Oh, and Baka?"
"Yeah?"
"Get out of the cockpit."
