Ben was not sure how to react to all of the hijinks that were going down in front of him. He was a Jedi and he really had no place to speak up, but the way the Admiral was talking, Ben wondered how he had been given the position in the first place. He noted the mans name and decided he would be talking to Darron who had a bit of pull when it came to these matters. While they were separate entities from the Republic, they still worked together, and Ben was not sure he enjoyed a man who would so openly scoff at fellow Officers of the Republic. He stood tall and did not speak as the Major and Colonel tried to reprimand the officer who seemed to think he was invincible. It was saddening to see someone of such a high rank act out in such a foolish way, but alas, there was nothing he could do.
Taking a mutual interest in Anemone, he followed her as she was taken to give her little introductory speech. Her excitement was nice for a change, a good change of pace from the usual gloomy attitude of everyone on these hangars. Ben tried his best to liven the spirits of people, but it was easier said then done, even with his ability to heighten the moods of people around him he could not constantly keep everyone in good spirits. He would constantly be meditating in his chambers and would never have time to accomplish anything on his own. It was a fools errand and the only way their spirits would be heightened is if they could somehow defeat this Omni threat. But even then it would go back to business as usual, fighting the Empire, and just generally trying to survive. What a life they all lived.
"A rousing speech," Ben whispered once she had stepped down from the podium. He had a grin on his face and he liked the attitude of the young Lieutenant. "You'll make for a great officer. Unlike the hot headed Admiral."
( Well, hope that works to get back in, sorry again!! I'll stop apologizing now, WU TANG )
