"What's wrong with Delta-40?" barked Boss as he shone a bright light into Spark's face.

Nothing! As far as I can tell!" cried the poor soldier tied down to the chair. "While keeping a respectful distance." He quickly added to the angry commandos opposite him.

"Yeah, well, your respectful distance is starting to come across as very rude!"

"VERY RUDE!" Sev shouted from behind Sparks. He unsheathed his vibroblade and grabbed Spark's shoulder. "What arm first, boss?"

"Get off me!"

"You're lucky to have our Fixer interested in you at all." Informed Scorch.

"It certainly doesn't feel that way." Sparks muttered.

"He's incredibly intelligent." Said 42

"He's always loyal and dependable." Continued Scorch.

"He's a brutal hand-to-hand fighter."

"And he'll make a fantastic squad leader one day!" Boss concluded.

Sparks looked at them all in bewilderment. "Have any of you actually said this to him?"

"No, why would we?"

"No reason." A lot of things were becoming clear for sparks now.

"Anyway, any more questions?" Boss asked.

"Yeah. How tall is General Yoda?"

Boss was about to tell Scorch off before suddenly hearing "Good morning, all" from the entrance to the door. It was Captain Martz! The whole squad stood at attention for the republic navy officer with one sole exception.

"No need to get up Gamma." She informed.

"I'm tied to the chair Ma'am."

"Oh I see" she dryly stated. "Gamma-75, we're having a mini-shindig tonight or min-dig if you will. You're going to ask Delta-40 along."

"Uh-"

"That's what I thought."

She turned to the group.

"Delta squad, I just spoke to Tabura. She's rather overwhelmed with the work for her Toydarian night. Unfinished Bunting, no music, few snacks etc. It's a shame. I'm sure it would have given you something to do as well as making everyone happy. I'm sure we all want to make the people close to us happy." The squad all realized what she was implying.

"Carry on." The officer walked out of the quarters and gave a small smile as she heard "I'm gonna learn some Toydarian music!", "I'll cut some bunting.", "I can fly out to get more snacks!" from Scorch, Sev and 42 before they ran out. Boss tried to think of something to help before resigning his fate. "And I'll actually do my paperwork." He stated before running out to grab some coffee.

"Hey!" shouted sparks, his arms and legs still bound to the chair. "Is anyone going to untie me?…Hello?"
