Flashing through the explosion cloud that was once a TIE fighter, Plourr feels like she's doing the right thing for the first time since she came home. Furious, too; she has always been a top-notch pilot, wouldn't be in Rogue Squadron if she weren't, but she has never flown like this before.
One TIE, two TIE's down, and she barely even hears the other three voices over the comm because she's watching the tiny figures running on the ground. She can't tell who is a member of the People's Liberation Battalion and who is royal security and who is a civilian - but the white of stormtrooper armor is easy to spot even from the air. The PLB solders and security personnel and civilians-- they're all her people. And she'll she damned if she'll let the Empire hurt her people anymore.
There's a turbolaser in the side of a tall building; it's doing significant damage.
Not again.
She hits the lasers.
"Never again."
The TIE spirals down out of control, slamming into the turbolaser and blowing a huge hole in the side of the building with its explosion. More congratulations over the comm and she really doesn't hear them this time, because there is a familiar figure leading the PLB soldiers into the building. The man who says his name is Harrandatha.
"I'm going in," she says, spinning the X-wing back.

Harran's gun-hand explodes from the wrist up in a spray of red.
He screams.
"Leonia ... ggrrgglleee ... help me," he cries, dropping to his knees and bending over the smoking, bleeding stub of his arm.

Lying on her side, hot blaster resting on the ferrocrete, Plourr glances back at the good sergent. "Harran" wasn't nearly as good of a shot as he was a liar-- the loyal soldier seems to have just had his shoulder grazed.

"Plourr!"

Wedge says that they vaped the last of the TIEs; that the citadel is secure.

Wedge fills them in on their misadventures, and then Tycho has a more immediate question. He asks what will happen to the impostor, now being loaded onto a repulsor-stretcher and cared for by medics.
Wedge is still more practical and shrewd. He asks who will rule Eiattu.
"We'll care for him the best we can," Plourr says, "until we can find out just what was done to him." She pauses.
"And as for the rest..."
Princess Isplourrdacartha smiles.
