What Kind of fuel are you using? I know how to do a small modification to the burners, causing the to burn faster for more efficiently and get more speed, and you wouldn't need to worry too much about the rating of the fuel. I can download the modification to the chief engineer's datapad if you like. I don't know how to get extra supplies to you besides Mandalorian's.
Ash threw that last part out like it was no good knowledge. As he spoke, he brought out a small datapad and started typing on it and retreating information wirelessly from one of his R2 units. His fingers blurred they were moving so fast. It was amazing that the datapad could handle that.
I don't know what to do about the generators, but perhaps if you send three second electrical burst set at 50'000 volts for 30 seconds, and that may give you enough power to jump start the generators, abet slow, but at least it would last for the fleet to get there, if it works. A captain or higher needs to know how take care of their ships without having to hold the admiral's hand, no matter how they look.
Ash winked slyly and walked to the navigation's console, looking over the officer on station. He was checking their position to the ship in question, and the other ships in the fleets area. He made a bold move, talking freely; he was a lowly ensign and a fighter pilot/commando, he didn't have anything to say about what he just did, but what's done is done, and that may help out the fleet. He tapped more information into his datapad. [/sub]

Celestial just sat there shaking her head as Ash talked. Once he finished and did the little wink she determined she would need to ride his ass. Not as much as against him, but to insure he did not get the other crew to learn bad habits. "FRONT AND CENTER ENSIGN LIGHTNING!" Once his was in front of her she started to chew his ass. "YOU DO NOT ACT THE WAY WITH A SUPERIOR OFFICE! I EXPECTED A MANDOLORIAN SUCH AS YOUR SELF TO UNDERSTAND THAT! WAS I WRONG SOLDIER! IN THE READY ROOM NOW!" She shouted right into his face.
Once she and Ash were in the room she closed the door. Her voice had soften, but their was still the hint of disappointment. "Now remember this is the military. When I am in the CIC, you well salute and show the proper respect. Now onto the matter of those suggestion. You don't think I am capable of running through all possible solutions. The problem is not burning the fuel, it is the byproducts which has a corrosive effect on the engines components; especially the flow regulators. The problem with the gravity well generators is in the gyro-systems and burned out motors, not with powering up." It was clear that she was not happy with him trying to show off. "You may be a fine mechanic, but you are no engineer. I well gladly listen to suggestions of those below me, but way you just did it was not acceptable. One thinks about the solution, then after coming up with a suggestion and bring me the proposal." She slowly turned around. She was disappointed in Ash, he thought he knew something about everything. He would need to show himself on the battlefield to regain a little of respect he lost.

When he was yelled at, he jumped so high, his head hit the ceiling bulkhead, but he didn't show anything on that, and just did as he was told, saluted, and fallowed Cele. He stood quietly and took the lecture without showing any emotion. His golden eyes took in everything that was said, and when she finished, he waited a moment before he spoke.
My apologies, Admiral. Please forgive me, I am still getting use to the command structure here at the Republic. Us Mandalorians fallow a looser structure. I think you are perfectly capable at what you do; I was talking about the captain of the damages ship. All I am good at is fighting and some light repair and modifications. This is why we do what we do. Once again, please forgive me for my inappropriate behavior, mam.
Ash bowed slightly, not too deep, but it would pass for one who truly meant what he said, and he was sorry. He was use to leading a ship and commando's and didn't mean any harm to Cele. He knew he fell slightly in her book, and would need to make that up, but that would be at a later time, after a mission.
After a moment, he stood fully again, and rubbed his sore wrist. The brace on his arm was itchy, and he could only get what he could with what he had. The white brace stood in great contrast with his black sleeveless shirt, black pants, and black fingerless gloves. When he looked at Cele, his eyes were on her forehead just above her eyes, making it look like, to most humans, that he was meeting their eyes. [/sub]

Celestial looked him in the eyes still, even though he was not looking her in the eyes. "Good ensign.” She paused and was about to return to the CIC, "However, it is the Mandolorian nature that I was banking on when I placed you in Reaper Squadron. You are a strong commando, strong pilot. When this collar is button, I am Admiral and your commanding officer. So her is the deal. When it is unbutton, then informal protocols are fine." Celestial turned around and walked out of the ready room back into the CIC.

Ash hesitated for a moment before met Cele in the eyes and spoke, even if she did turn around before he had a chance to speak. He fallowed her with quiet footsteps.
Mam, are there any assignments for me?
He wasn't one just to sit around. He preferred to take action, and not be in any one place for too long. Even if was a simple ground side attack with bad odds, he wanted to do something. His mind wandered back to a metal crate by his bunk. In it was his new armor, in the final fazes of being created. Ash wanted to test it in the field before he finalized it for final modifications and full use. He was behind Cele, not making a sound. [/sub]

Although Oron was away from the fleet, he still held stong communications with them."This is Lieutenant Oron of Reaper Squadron, I repeat, Lieutenant Oron. Mission Accomplished, I repeat, mission accomplished. Weapons have been secured, along with the Hutt's responsible. Requesting transportation for the prisoners and orders with what to do with the weapons. Over."

Celestial smiled when the communication came across. "Copy that Reaper. Prepare for assistance." Celestial signaled the captain and two CR-90 corvette wings and the Raptor corvette wing jumped to hyperspace. They would unload the weapons off the station along with provide cover. Celestial was happy however, this was what the fleet needed.

Ash stood quietly as Cele gave her commands to the corvettes. He wondered how the battle was going, and he was eager to meet who else was in reaper squadron. He couldn't help but to ask now.
Mam, who else is in Reaper Squadron? I am curious as to whom I am going to work with. [/b][/sub]

The Republic Task Force exited hyperspace over the forest moon of Endor. The Corvettes sent shuttles of prisoners to the RNS Bravery as they were escorted by Reaper Squadron. The Squadron landed at the same time the shuttles landed. The prisoners were unloaded, being heavily guarded by the Spacetroopers. Oron jumped out of his fighter and met up with Jasirm and Kira. They began walking to the bridge, knowing that their mission was a success.

Celestial's voice came over the load speaker. "Reaper Squadron report to pilot ready room for debriefing." The speakers cut out. Celestial turned to Captain Cromwell. "Get those corvettes unloaded, I want those L-s9.3 laser cannon mounted on the King Cobras by 0245. Then start distributing the parts to the ship base on this list." She hand him a datapad and then walked out of the CIC. She headed straight to the briefing room, she had four datapad one for each member.

Ash didn't repeat his question to Cele, and he didn't flinch at the loudspeaker, even if it was like a banshee to his sensitive hearing. He silently fallowed the Admiral to the Pilot's ready room, and took a seat near the back, and set his head against the cool metal wall and closed his eyes.
Though he was bored, he didn't show it. His face remained passive, but he couldn't help the smile that leaked onto his face. Before the other Reapers showed up, he started playing with a small bolt of lightning, having it jump from one hand to the other, then have it 'swim' across his body, but that took concentration to do, but he at least made it look easy. He could almost know what the others would think of him; some lighthearted fool who likes to play, but that was only skin deep. [/sub]

Oron, Jasirm, and Kira entered the Pilot's room. They were all tired from the journey. Oron looked to the back to see a man play with lightning. Oron thought this to be Ash, but would ask questions later. He and the other two sat near the front where the Admiral would be standing.

Ash looked up with shining blue eyes, but they turned back to their normal golden color. Matching the speed of a humanoid, he left his seat and sat behind the rest of the squad and leaned forward so that the leader could hear him.
So you three must be the other Reapers. [/sub]

Jasirm didn't respond, he was still tired from the mission and didn't feel like talking. Kira was also tired and didn't say anything. Oron, on the other hand, leaned back and saw Ash's head. He could sense something in this man, but couldn't sense what."That we are."

Cele stood still for several seconds. No one could have known she was downloading new information directly off the HoloNet. Once she was done she spoke. "First off, good job. Mission was completed and no loss of squadron members. As of this minute you fighters are now getting upgraded with L-s9.3 laser cannons, thanks to those Hutt arm dealers the King Cobras well have a far greater firepower." She paused for a second before the bad news. "You guys got five hours before we send you out again. The Republic has found an old Sith Interdictor class Cruiser which dates back to the Jedi Civil War. Records shows it as destroyed, still it has appeared in orbit of the world of Rhen Var. We are sending you four in to secure the ship, download the databanks, and report back. Intelligence shows that the ship has no atmosphere, but there are massive power readings." She handed out the datapads with the entire report. "You leave when you fighters are finished being upgraded. I suggest you get something to eat and maybe a little sleep. The estimate is four hours to launch. Question?" She stood in front of them waiting for the questions.
