Doesn't matter what or who I'm fighting as long as I'm out there." The old clone turned to look at Jevan again. "So, where are you from? You look and sound too young to be from Kamino.""I'm a clone, as it so happens. Not much else to say."
Caiteriona groaned at Jevan's query. "Un-kriffing-fortunately, this'll be my first real mission. They kept sticking me on guard duty or stuff for the most safe locations. However... Your strangely depressive mood aside, this is probably a better first combat assignment than most.""So it seems, so it seems...just remember, no plan survives contact with the enemy."
"Aye, sounds like an easy job. Intel say the natives don't really have any technology to speak of...but, intels usually bantha-piss anyway."Now, that's the spirit." Jevan chuckled a bit.
...One thing I can say, the natives do always know the land. Spent a tour on Felucia-fought in the 76' Twilek uprising there. They knew every hole in that planet. Depends how hard they wanna hold out...we might be here for awhile."
Caiteriona sighed and spoke under her breath. "Wow, might as well start a pessimist count here. Bet it'd turn out really high.""Pessimism keeps you alive, Cait. Always prepare for the worst, even if you hope for the best. Because, let me tell you, the world is never the best...and sometimes, it's worse than you can possibly imagine."
Lannah heard and nodded. Her smile was hard beneath her mask.Jevan hasn't been around long, and he didn't really play games like this.
"1st rule of the corps. If anything can go wrong, it will.
For example, say...your shiny speeder has an leaky actuator, it's bound go bust in the middle of rebel country..." She said, trailing off, leaving the next line open for someone else.
This was actually a little game some of the older soldiers played before a mission-each member of a squad listing absolute worse case scenarios, each one worse than the one that came before. It did wonders for the nerves. She wondered if any of the others would pick up on it.
"...Go on."
