Crystals are a ship's best friend

[Aran Piett]

The Accuser lumbered out of the ship yards around Dosuun. Aran was on the bridge and had orders to meet up with the Ren on their way back from the Planet Lothal. They had the final pieces to complete the Custom Resurgent Class. Aran heard of them making a incursion into Alliance space for some Kyber crystals, and asked the head of the Incursion forces [member="Castor Ren"] to pick some up for his planned Command ship for his new promotion. With that promotion going though, it was time to finish the plans, and get the ship underway. The only thing missing now was the Kyber Focusing Crystals.​

​

​

It was a skeleton crew on the FIV Accuser, most of the Command crew were not present, there were few of the gunnery crews as well. Reports said the boarder was calm so there wouldn't be much of opposition at the designated Rendezvous point. So the skeleton crew would be fine. It wasn't like they were going into a warzone.​

[Sara Lee Jones]

The was assigned to the ship as part of the tie compliment, though she had only about 5 fighters instead of the while squadron, due to not needing as many, she walked down the halls to the hanger, it was quite empty except for the few crew here and there, she gave a sigh and turned to go see [member="Aran Piett"]

Back down the hall again she went, she got to the turbo lift and took it up to the bridge, she got off as she walked slolwy and up beside aran

how lomg till arrival sir

She said as she looked outside the view port

 

[Aran Piett]

Hearing a familiar voice behind him, Aran turns around to see [member="Sara Lee Jones"].​

​

"ETA is about ten minutes, give or take I'm not a navigator, so I will defer to them on this one."​

​

He didn't show it, but Aran was nervous as hell. He never dealt with the Ren before, and he heard rumors of them. So this encounter with them would be something of a learning experience for him. He didn't want to do anything that they could construe as against the Supreme Leader's wishes. So everything was in the best condition possible. It was still very hard for him to make the ship look pristine since the Accuser wasn't completely finished yet, but he did make sure nothing that shouldn't have a purpose there was seen.​

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel Ren now a Knight of Ren following the Battle of Kaeshana was sent to oversee a new Star Destroyer. He always had a disdain for Imperial Officers, as they sat comfortably on their ships while the Ren like him would be out on the ground, and at times in space carrying out the Supreme Leader's will. He had accompanied [member="Castor Ren"] who had also became a Knight as well on the same shuttle. They had come to deliver Kyber crystals they attained on the GA held world of Lothal months ago, and Kyrel only hoped this mission wouldn't take long. He would rather train and prepare for the coming war than to babysit an Officer and his new pet Star Destroyer. He waited for the shuttle to enter the hanger his hands clenched in frustration at this assignment.

Always with the mundane. It had become his signature, much to his chagrin. He was reliable, and that was his downfall, or at least his perceived downfall. The leather boots he wore padded gently across the durasteel deck of the freight barge, a large shipment of Kyber Crystals en route for Dosuun. The crystals they had recovered from Lothal were diminutive to say in the least, the largest among them a mere foot in diameter - though valuable not nearly enough for the required purpose, at least not the purpose of the military, the Ren however had something else in mind. It was part of why he'd personally seen to it that an additional detachment was sent to mine crystals from elsewhere, First Order controlled space, their first encounter with the Jedi next door had left them all bloodied, at least in the loosest sense. It was an encounter that would no doubt be escalated upon in the coming weeks, months even - but none of that was currently Castor's concern. Instead, he was preoccupied with his new station.

No longer a mere Disciple, his status had been elevated to that of Knight - in truth perhaps sooner than he should have been but the Supreme Leader always seemed to know when the timing was right. To Castor however, it was something that should have happened long ago, pride festering in the man's chest. It was one thing to wish for something, another entirely when one thought that thing was deserved. He had yet much to learn about the Force but that lesson would be taught at a later date. For now, it was his responsibility to ensure that the shipment was delivered without issue.

Aboard the same vessel was at least one other Knight of Ren - though Castor had the man on seniority. He could sense the other's pent up anxiety, the frustration - a sign of immaturity for certain. Patience was an important trait, even among Dark Side practitioners, perhaps he could help ease the man's restlessness with a spar, or perhaps a lesson in patience - or both. Making his way towards the general lounge of the vessel, he could sense the man's anger practically forming a cohesive presence of its own, a sneer almost making itself present across his features. As he rounded the corner he stopped, crossing his hands in front of him before addressing the newly Knighted Ren.

"You really ought to practice patience - perhaps a spar in the cargo hold will help to ease your anxiety?"​

​

With that, an excited smirk plainly found its place across Castor's features, a sly twinkle in his eye. They had enough time before they arrived, a spar and a quick recovery session would be just what the doctor ordered.​

"Captain Piett, coming into system now."​

​

"Thank you Ensign, now we wait for the Ren to show up."​

​

Not sure if he was early or late, it became a waiting game. It was just a matter of time to see if the Ren from Lothal would send word on their location for the meeting point. It was their show at this point, and all Aran could do was wait and talk to Sara, whom he was forming a nice bond with.​

​

"So Captain Jones how do you like the Accuser so far. I know she isn't fully functional but still I want your opinion."​

​

Aran smiled at the pilot, hopefully she would give him an approval for the ship, the design was still a Resurgent, but just added something from back in the days of the Clone Wars with a ventral sustained Turbolaser made to get unsuspecting smaller ships and rip them apart. Aran loved the idea as learning from Kaeshanna enemy forces liked to rush the Resurgent class and try to out maneuver her.​

She looked over to him as she gave a smile and fully turned towards him as she relaxed a little

well captain Piett, I believe this is the spitting example of the navy, I've not fully toured it yet but I think after our meeting with the ren we shall have some time maybe

She said as she chuckled to herself and turned away looking out again
