Vinten awoke from the shaking of the ship. He groaned, realizing that the battle had begun and nobody had come to wake him up. He sat up, quickly picking himself up out of bed. When he stood, he stretched, pausing halfway through his stretch to think. Why would they send me to a battlefield? I don't have a problem with negotiating surrender, but couldn't they have sent me after the battle was over? They needed to send me in the thick of it? And what if the One Sith have no interest in surrendering? Then I would've been sent out here for nothing.
He finished stretching and pulled on his cloak. He rubbed his eyes, grabbed his holopad, and then walked out of his dark bedroom. He headed down the grey hallway, headed for the bridge. If he was going to have to come to this battle, he might as well watch the carnage unfold. He knew that the Iron Empire's fleet would eviscerate the One Sith's, he just didn't want to be in the middle of it.
Several pilots and other navy personnel passed him as he walked by, many giving him cold looks. A politician didn't belong on a battlefield, and they knew it just as well as Vinten. But orders were orders, and as long as he served as Warden of Csilla, he would have a duty. And his ambitions of gaining an even higher rank would simply give him more jobs, and many of them would be much like this one.
After what felt like the longest walk of his life, Vinten reached the bridge. The doors ahead of him opened and he strolled in, walking like he owned the place. He quickly approached the Rear Admiral and produced a fake smile. "Admiral, how goes the battle?"
