[OOM] Malrev System

[fighting_mad]

Once the dark bulk of Malrev IV is behind them, once she has checked and rechecked and rechecked the hyperspace coordinates, once she knows that every one of her pilots and the Rogues (every one left, her mind traitorously adds, because two former squadmates, two Rogues, are dead) has made the jump safely, and once she herself is watching the white lines zip past her canopy, Plourr finally lets the back of her helmet thud back against the pilot's couch.

She stares numbly up through the top of the canopy, watching the stars streak by through the orange tint of her visor.






After a while, she reaches for her personal comm and slaps the 'on' switch. Better to place the call now than later.

"Sure."

Already making a note of it.

"I'll see you."

"And a medical team," she says suddenly, remembering Hobbie. "Yeah. Thanks."

Silence, and then Plourr covers her mouth with her hand and flicks the holo unit off.

"Medical team."

He starts to something else but - well, there's no one to say it too.

So he sighs and starts preparations. Because that's just what he does, and who he is.

(sometimes he wishes he had wings)
