Owen shook his head, gripping his chin in thought, looking at Laphisto " I'm going to tear that kid a new one when he gets back here" Owen frowned, shaking his head as he went to head out of the CIC. Laphisto follows with him.
"the kid did well, commanded and defeated an enemy much greater than his forces,"
Owen looked to laphisto, stepping into the turbo lift and pressing the button to send them down to the hanger level" Yes, but he lost a ship in his arrogant attack. if he had waited for reinforcements like he was ordered to, the Calador wouldn't have been destroyed."
With a small chuckle, laphisto shook his head softly " he treated that conflict like a war zone Owen. They could have been attacked in their flank if he had pulled his ships back. His ability to only lose a single ship and then call for the retreat of a wounded vessel shows strength and determination. We will need people like him to rise as a galactic power."
" And what about the Pilot? he lost his entire squadron trying to assist Zach in his renegade attack." as the turbo lift stopped, they both stepped out.
"Dravin? he is now just like all of our fighter pilots. Combat is the best training tool there is. Surviving one battle gives you the skills needed to survive another, skills he can teach to others if given the chance." walking towards the hanger entrance Laphisto watched the fighters return home, several crewmen directing the most damaged fighters to the repair bays " Besides,, we are working with millennia-old equipment, another accomplishment of this captain is being able to defeat such an overwhelming force with what he had on hand."
