Maybe you're weighing the moral pros and cons but let me assure you that OH MY GOD
SHOOT ME IN THE GODDAMNED FACE
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

Neme Stardancer: A juma junkie, eh? Surprised you even got out of bed. Though, I guess that does show a level of dedication to the cause. Still... lots here in your file to go over. What was your former squadron called, and who from it that died to you think of the most? Have you ever been confronted by the loved ones of those you led into that hellhole? And... do you really think you have enough in you to keep it together?

Blame Forney's recruiter for that. Guy could probably knock a hole in the side of a Star Destroyer the way he pounds on doors.

I already mentioned my squadron name--Pegasus Knights. Don't ask about the name, the last flight lead left it to me after she retired. We were an "independent" squadron, not attached to any single carrier or task group--we flew in, blew up whatever Imperial was around, then got out, faster than they could bring reaction forces to bear. Until the Spinward Shipyards mess, of course.

We were sorted into four groups of three, with me as the lead. Jann Terr--hah, nobody called him that, it was Peg Two or Pazaak--was my number two wing man. He's probably the one I cared the most about, even if he isn't technically, well...dead. (I mean, the doctor droid said he "might as well be" before I punched his head round, but what the **** does he know?!) Number three wingwoman, Peg Three, was Janna Solis, and she was an ex-imp shuttle pilot. She said she defected after her bosses there wouldn't let her fly actual starfighters. Not sure why she wanted to fly TIEs, but.... After the medal ceremony, I'd heard some...unscrupulous rumors from some younger Rebel pilots that she'd...undefected. I put them in their place the same way I did the medical droid. Wouldn't make any ******* sense anyway; she'd be flying into the same trap as us!

Loved ones?! Ah hah hah, do you think I stuck around after the medal ceremony to meet them?! ...of course it was just my ******* luck that the transport I caught a ride on had one of the grieving families on board. They went on and on about how they knew how their wife, sister, daughter wasn't going to come home and how they knew she had died fighting for a cause she believed in and how they were happy to meet me and find some closure. ********, I hadn't the heart to tell them that she'd been blown up before she could get her shields back up after dropping out of hyperspace. And they might have gotten closure, but that talk opened up a lot of wounds on my end. I think that's when I started really downing the juma, actually.

And for your last question...I'm standing here and I haven't had a hit of juma all day. I actually emptied out the flask I always had on me. Honestly that's a big ******* plus for me. And I got Pazaak's pilot tags here with me. And a holo-photo for the cockpit. And...look, the point is, I can do this, alright?

Okay, I'm using my "in love with" link on Damaya, and my "break links with" anti-link on Reist.

I have my "we both had it rough" link with Winter.

My other one is trickier, because I don't know how/why I would have heard of any of you before, or why you'd convince me to join the rebellion.

Unless we can make links with NPCs, but even then Im unsure who would have given me a "Pike talks Kirk into joining Starfleet" moment.

I'm leaning towards using my "loves you" link with Pops, but feel free to claim it if you want to join the assassin droid stalker love triangle. :v:

For the "hates the force" I think it makes sense for Neme, HK, or Reist.

If you take my link it then would make sense, since after all he is a dashing sun jammer racer who did holofilms! But only if it makes sense.

Axe-man, keep in mind that I break all links set up with me initially, so I don't have a link with you at the start :)

Look, I knew the kid always had some skill, but that sibling rivalry bullshit is precisely why I kept him down a peg. Looks like he never outgrew it, and has excelled in spite of it. Tell me, kid - do you still have that little twitch when you go for a yaw inversion? Figured a crack pilot like yourself could handle the Gs.

Rivalry link with Pops? Sure! I'll reciprocate with the one about a green pilot under his wing - that ought to stoke that rivalry, if it's acceptable!
Of course I can handle the Gs. You are a good pilot, and probably one of the better trainers at the Academy, but yet again, you showed favouritism to my brother, just like everyone else has always done. But you knew I was the better pilot, you knew I could pull out some manoeuvres that my brother couldn't even dream of doing, and yet you fast-tracked him and not me. What bullshit. I respect your flying skills, but I know I'm better than you now. And I know I'll get more than a few chances to prove once Grey squadron is out and flying against the Empire.

Oh, wow, this is moving fast. Okay, the Shamed's links are as follows:

You think somebody will never trust you because of what happened. Break any Links they would build with you initially.
Somebody keeps trying to break you out of your shell. Build a Link with them.

So I negate one incoming link and build a link outgoing with someone else...hmm, how about Pops or Winter for that?

It's probably my fault.
So far, it looks like I haven't used any of my links, so here they go:

Someone is experienced: Juma Junkie - Pops has seen a lot, but never through the lens of a Juma binge!
Someone is green: Crash - He has a valid need to keep him alive: burnt hair smells terrible!

I believe a smart man once said that their scars prove their worth. The only metric I give a drat about is the surviving headcount. You keep that high, and maybe we can call it even.

I wasn't sure if the 'your opponent chooses whether to fleet' is something that I could choose myself or had to have the GM do it for me

My intention was that it's the MCs choice. Will see how that goes!

Also I'm like real sick so updates pending, maybe tomorrow if not hopefully Friday.
