| The
black and yellow Astromech designated R6-D14, also known as Sparky,
rolled through the hangar conducting his customary inspection of
Firebird Squadron's craft; the technicians on the Challenge were
competent for biologicals, but only a droid could really tell when a
ship had been properly maintained and configured. Since Sparky's master
was the Squadron Commander, that meant it was up to him to make that
check - and keep the more unruly of Firebird's complement of Astromechs
in line. The Y-Wing designated Firebird Nine, assigned to Lieutenant Commander Cook and his droid C2-B5 (who, despite the designation, was from the R2-series of Astromechs), was next on the list; it was a difficult craft to interface with, the nonstandard Rotary Laser Cannon and the accompanying software had altered the programming to the point where the ship was rather...odd... Still, that particular ship was easier to get along with than Firebird One - the X-Wing and Sparky had been paired for years, having rolled off the production lines and into Infiltrator Wing hands at about the same time Sparky had been assembled. The ship had been endlessly tinkered with by its pilot, and it too had developed its own...idiosyncracies. Biologicals often failed to understand such things, but they were limited by their inefficient organic brains. Still, so long as they did their part and brought their ships (and Astromech partners) back in one piece, one could overlook those limitations... |

| A
slower start to November than October, which is unsurprising giving
world events, but not something I'm worried about right now; the pace
will pick up COL Stryker |
