If you insist. See ya when we get back, beautiful.
Zero quickly cut the channel and fell into formation. He couldn't help but grin as he did a wing over, making his way to the jump point.
Alright, people. Three things before we jump: 1: avoid the giant flying rocks. 2: avoid the flashy-shooty stuff. 3: When in doubt, do a barrel roll. Jump in when the timer hits zero. [/i] Zero took the liberty of setting up a 10 second timer. Red Squadron swarmed into position, and as soon as timer hit zero, they jumped into hyperspace.[/center][/sub]

The Normandy-Class Stealth Yacht, Prowler, exited hyperspace in the Calamari System. It wasn't in stealth mode. In fact it was broadcasting it's transponder free and clear for anyone who wanted to look at it.
Lieutenant Ven had some specific instructions from Master Halcyon about what she was to do while in the Calamari system. Down in the cargo bay was the Army of Light's full nuclear arsenal. They'd taken all the warheads out of every missile and every space mine and were going to tern them over to Federation Authorities.
Normally nukes would have done diddly squat to other ships, but with a few modifications the Army had managed to increase their yield and effective range, making them effective anti fighter tools as well as useful EMP devices. Primitive tactics to be sure but the Army did what they could with what they had. Now the weapons were being turned over to the Federation for either redeployment or decommissioning.
She also was to bring the ship into drydock for some minor modifications to her vehicle storage bay and aft launch doors.

On board the USS Enterprise the sensor officer was scanning all inbound ships. When the Prowler got close enough his mouth nearly dropped. "Ma'am, the Normandy Yacht has atomic arsenal on board; and a lot of them." Johana walked over to the counsel and looked at it. She then walked over to her chair and open a communication line. "Normandy Yacht Prowler this is Captain Kay on board the USS Enterprise. You cargo is classified as a highly dangerous. Please send transport documents and state attentions." Johana said in an official manner. At the same time she sent a text message to ATF to vector a squadron of patrolling XJ3 X-wings to intercept and shadow the Yacht.
Meanwhile Silver, Green and Red squadrons exited hyperspace. "USS Enterprise, mission successful. Returning to ship." Samantha said she piloted her ship back towards the ship. She had made up her mind, she was going to join the Mandalorians, the Federation was just to boring for her. Samantha and Silver Squadron landed on the USS Enterprise where she climbed out and started towards the bridge to tell the captain she was leaving.

Red squadron jumped in just after the other squadrons, and Zero made note of the civilian Normandy-class yacht. His sensors easily picked up the cargo of it, but if there were any problems with it, then the Captain would decide what to do. But still, to be safe, he commed Paradise Lost.
Captain Cutter, Zero here. Launch Eagle squadron and have them work with the other x-wings that are intercepting the Yacht. If anything happens.[/b
Zero got an acknowledgment, and a minute later, his twintail squadron launched, heading towards the yacht at a rather slow pace. They had much more armor and shields, and could put out an near unreal amount of power quickly for something their size, and they could get up and move. Zero loved those fighters.
Once Red Squadron landed, Zero took off to go and find the captain and give a report on their mission. After that, then he would start joking around again. [/sub]

Samantha walked onto the bridge quickly followed by Zero. She looked at the Captain who seemed preoccupied by the Normandy Yacht. She eventually turned to Zero and Samantha after the Prowler situation was solved. "Good work on the mission. From the your fighters sent we have completely eliminated the pirates forces known to be in the area. That should help secure the Wild Space in that sector." The captain said with a smile.
Samantha nodded. "Ma'am, I have decided to join my Mandalorian brothers and sisters on Mandalore. I hope you understand." Samantha said. It was the first time in her life she was choosing something over money.
Captain Kay looked at the young women and understood completely how she felt. Finding Mandalorians to be part of your military was extremely hard with the call of Mandalore. "I understand Miss Aran. I wise I had something to offer you to convince you to stay, but I could not hope to match Mandalore's words. Now the Federation door is always open to you." Captain Kay said as she extended her hand and shook Samantha's hand.

Zero's hands were behind his head as he walked behind Samantha to the bridge, as to mainly look at her curves, but no one was able to catch him: he was too good at sneaking looks with years of practice. Once on the bridge, Zero leaned against the nearest bulkhead, waiting for his turn to speak. He was slightly surprised when Sam wanted to leave the feds, and join up with the Mandalorians. She closed his eyes, a small smile on her face. After she shook the Captains hand, Zero stood fully erect and took a step closer.
Well, Sam, it was fun flying with you. Maybe we will meet somewhere again.
There was nothing joking with Zero right now as he extended his hand to shake Samantha's. If she wanted to go to the Mandalorian's, as it seemed she would fit in better there than here, then there was no stopping her. All he could do was say good buy to a woman whom he hardly knew. [/sub]

Samantha took Zero's hand. "Good luck in your adventures. Should you path ever lead you to the Mandalore, look me up. I well buy you that drink you earned." Samantha said with a wink and gave the captain a slight bow. She turned around and walked off the bridge.
The Captain watched her walk off. "Damn, she was a hell of a fighter. I could have used her in the coming darkness. Ow well." She said and looked at Zero. "You better not get any ideas like that or you will be answering to me personally." She said with a smile. She quickly looked down at her watch. "You should get some rest. Intel should be reporting in later with a bunch of work for us. I personally well be heading down to the mess in two hours if you wise to join me." Johana said. She was not sure if he could get every job done, but she like to know all the people under her command a little bit.

Ill be sure to do just that.
Zero grinned, then stepped away from Sam, and listened to what Johana had to say. He couldn't help but have a grin on his face as he listened to her talk.
Saying that may make me wanna leave now, but I think staying here will allow us some more face to face time. Anyway, I think I will join you in the mess after a power nap and maybe a shower. Send me a wake up call if you want an escort, madam. I shall be on the Normandy.
Zero gave an intricate bow before turning and leaving, raising his right hand as a good by, his other in his jacket pocket. He headed for the port hanger, where his yacht was, went to his quarters, and took a nap without even bothering to undress. [/sub]

"Enterprise Actual, this is Normandy-Stealth Yacht Prowler" Lieutenant Ven said. "We're en route to Federation orbital shipyards for delivery of tactical nuclear arsenal to Federation authorities and vessel modifications. Transmitting authentication code and itinerary."
Lieutenant Ven cut the ships speed by one half and set a parallel coarse for Enterprise.

Johana looked at the data coming in. Why did the top brace never tell her when shit like this was going done. All the information cleared and Johana flipped the microphone back on. "Understand Prowler. Your mission has been verified. X-wing squadrons well escort you to Landing Pad Alpha Echo Seven Seven Five of the shipyard were your cargo is destine." Johana said before flipping to the fleet channel. "All ships, Normandy-class Yacht Prowler carrying high dangerous cargo. Protection of ship and cargo top priority. All ships be on alert for any signs of trouble or suspicious behavior of other ships. Captain Kay out." Johana did not like this one bit. Sure it was nice these weapons were going to be out of circulation, but she wised she had been given prior warning. She would have cleared a larger section of space for the ship to pass through to its final destination.

Zero woke up to his gauntlet going off a second time today. This time, though, it was a comm transmission. He listened to the recording, and Zero had to agree with what James wanted to do. He had Eagle Squadron escort the Normandy class yacht they saw earlier, to its destination. Whatever they had on it must have been dangerous, but a second squadron was better than one, and many ships would get out of the way of 24 dangerous fighters.
Once Zero checked the time, he decided to shower, redress, then head off to the bridge where Johana was sure to be at. It was a short walk for him now, and made it to the bridge, yawning as he walked in. His hands were behind his head, like usual when he was standing around.
Hope I didn't miss anything, Captain. I would be sad if I was left out.
He had a rather sissy voice and innocent face on as he spoke, but his eyes showed nothing but humor. He resisted the urge to look over Johana's body again, as he usually did. [/sub]

"Understood Enterprise, Prowler on rout to destination." Ven replied before cutting the channel and leaning back in her pilot's chair. It wasn't so often she got to actually fly something. Being helmsman on a cruiser or carrier was fine but that was more telling the ship what to do then actually flying it.
She piloted the yacht towards the designated shipyard and set it at half impulse. The navigator spoke up from his station. "Enterprise sounds nervous ma'am." The petty officer said.
Ven cracked her fingers and checked her distance once more before deciding to stand up and stretch. "Enterprise has a lot to be worried about. Buildup of imperial forces, an imperial outpost being set up in the outer rim. stuff's happening."
"I meant about the nukes ma'am. They didn't seem to like the nukes." The navigator clarified.
She shrugged. "it was a bit of a surprise on them. but the most secure thing in the system is probably in my hold right now. You ever see them try and open one of those things up for maintenance. A chip went wrong on a warhead aboard the Galactica once. i saw them work on it for 2 hours with a fusion cutter in order to open enough of the casing to get at it."
The weapons control turned his head around from his seat. "The metal used in em is rated for starship armor and has to be about a foot thick. They can take a turbolaser blast before something bad happens."
Ven nodded. "Besides. they can rip em apart and play with them however they want. i'm sure there are plenty of uses for a decommissioned nuke. Not cut the chatter and make sure we're nice and lined up for docking. Lets not look sloppy on our first public endeavor."

Johana turned and looked at Zero as he checked her out. "You never give up do you." She said with a smile. "You got the conn XO." Johana said before walking off the bridge with Zero. She headed back to the mess and grabbed a tray of food along with a large cup of coffee. She sat down at one of the tables. "Food not great seeing that it is mostly Dac dishes, but the coffee is still good. So Ensign, what brought you to the Federation." Johana asked as took a drink of coffee and started to eat. She figured she would get to know the boy, as was to be promoted to squadron leader of Red Squadron which was about to become open sense the currently squadron leader was being placed in command of one of the knew capital ships.
Meanwhile on the station a group of soldier stood around the landing area for the Prowler along with several larger repulsions trailers. The Federation was tasked with the job of dismantling the nuclear weapons and they planned to use the atomic fuel in power plants while the other components would be used in other missiles.

Zero walked next to Johana, a look of pride on his face. He also grabbed some food, but instead of coffee, a nice tall glass of ale. Of course, it wasn't strong, seeing as they were always ready for danger, but at least it was satisfying. Zero sat across from the Captain, and started poking around his food before she spoke to him. He couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Mainly to meet some more people, exactly like you, Capt'n. Actually, I'm a militarized man, knowing how to fallow and lead. Seeing as there is no Republic, only the Empire now, I decided to come here after I've heard about it. This seemed like a good place to be, as the Mandalorians and the Merc's didn't really catch my attention. What about you? How did you rise to power?
Zero took a bite of food that turned out to be crunchy, and after deciding he liked it, started to eat. Surprisingly, he had good manners. It seemed like this dog of the military knew more than just fighting. After he swallowed his mouthful, he sat back and waited for the Captains reply. [/sub]

Johana listen to Zero. He was not a man of long stories that was for sure. "You never give up Ensign. Maybe one day you well hit on the right line." She said with a smile. She ate a bite of food before answering him. "I have never risen to power. But I got here was rather unremarkable; like you it seems." Johana said as she took a drink of coffee to wash down her bight of food. "Lets see were to began... Well, I was born on Taris. At eighteen I went to the navel academy graduating and was assigned to the Coruscant Defense Fleet. However it was short last, I did not like were the Republic was going and when the Empire was formed I figured it was time to leave. I returned to Taris and worked on space station construction." Johana took another bite of food and drink of coffee. "When the Federation was formed, I was recruited by Oracle to in command of the Enterprise and placed in charge of the Mon Calamari Defense Fleet. I am here however because I think the ideals that the Federation stands for are of the up most important." Johana said as she leaned back in her seat with her coffee. "Know that I have shared a little about my past, want to do the same?" She said with a smile as she brought her coffee cup up and took a drink.
