"Moving Day-Something Fowl: A (not quite) Honsou Story. Pt 1"
The atmosphere in the main hangar of the ISDII Challenge was electric with activity. The day had finally come for the Infiltration Wing to claim their place aboard the newly assigned MC-40 that had arrived to join with Battle Group III. Her sleek, smooth, almost bulbous hull stood out like a sore thumb against the strong angular lines of the Imperial vessels of the fleet. All of the fighters and support craft of Firebird and Eagle Squadrons had to be moved over to the MC-40 along with the pilots and all of their belongings and equipment. The transports and shuttles had already shifted the heavy gear and the crew of the MC-40 along with the assigned droids were hard at work putting everything in place for the arrival of Firebird and Eagle Squadrons. Without warning a loud Bawk sound erupted through the hangar bay. The cacophony stopped immediately. A sound like a robotic rendition of an enormous Endorian Brahma, also known as a tip-yip in Ewokese, a species of fowl that originated in the forests of Endor. These domesticated animals were kept by the Ewoks primarily as a source of food, and their meat was considered delicious. However, Captain Travis of Firebird Squadron had developed a fondness for these creatures and now it seems had requested his personal, jet black, R2 unit use the Brahma’s cry as some kind of replacement for it's more traditional beeps and boops. "BAWK" the droid announced it's presence again to the hangar's occupants. Several confused engineers and deck officers started looking around, understandably disturbed by the sound that was seemingly getting closer and louder. “Now don’t y’all stop workin’ on account of me and F0-H07n (fo-horn) here. Get back to it.” It was Travis alright, there was no mistaking that accent. Honsou smiled to himself, Travis had a way with the crew members, a charismatic yet dangerous war-dog. Honsou respected that. A thought occurred to him and his smile uncharacteristically became wide and he chuckled to himself as he continued his project work for the MC-40s little hangar issue, which was also unironically the actual issue.
to be continued...Congratulations to LT CapukkiOne and LT Kertron Seven, on your LT promotions.
