012 - Week 3 Day 3: Shadow Games

Aviza merely smiled at Helia's astute observation of the fact that running her ships main reactor did indeed cost quite the amount of not only credits but also power. She would not reply, but instead would take yet another sip from her canteen, then look into it to find that its contents had now been emptied. With a slight frown, the Imperial Agent would screw the lid back onto the top of the container, returning it to its place upon the surface of the table. "Would you mind if I refilled my canteen with water?" inquired the Imperial Agent, "Not sure where the living quarters are on the ship."

Moving to her feet, ready to head out with the company of Helia to the living quarters, Aviza responded to another of her fellow Imperial Agents questions. "I am very aware of the fact that we are not slaves. Though as my old academy instructor once said, not long before being replaced, understand that every action you take, every word that is uttered, is being closely scrutinized by the Sith and most likely everyone around you. One simple misstep near the right individual, and your career could come to a sudden and abrupt end, or far worse."  Taking a breath, she would continue, "Thus, there is no trouble in asking."  

The sly smirk that had been shown only once before while in the presence of Helia, now returned, "I am sure the corporal would not mind company for a short while, in fact I could possibly assist in servicing the Mandalorian Heavy Repeater. Weapon modifications and adjustments are something I am particularly fond of. "

“You can fill water right there, as you well know if you paid attention during the class dealing with common imperial ships.” Helia stated, pointing over to a food station right outside the medical bay. It was obvious that the other agent had been instructed to take a look around, and she wanted to make it clear that she would not permit that. Her master did not have anything in particular to hide insofar as she knew, but she would rather not take any chances.

“I do not fault you for asking.”

“Disturbing the Corporal during his alone time is not something I would recommend. No matter how many shared interests you may have. He has made it clear to me in the past that he wants to have such times undisturbed. I would prefer not to have to have you taken to the medical bay to treat blaster holes.” She paused for a moment, then added, “or the morgue, if he is in a bad mood.”

"Oh, I definitely did not pay any attention during the Imperial classes I took for many years, I was also not one of the top of my class either, all was clearly lost on me." said Aviza as she walked towards the food station and took a knee. After unscrewing the top of the canteen, she would start to refill its contents with ice cold water before continuing. "Regardless, firing upon me would be very unwise, Lord Vane would ..." The Imperial agent paused for a short moment, thinking of the correct words to convey what she wanted to say. "Not take kindly to such transgressions, to say the least." Once the canteen was filled, Aviza stood and moved back to the table where Helia sat, "As much as I have enjoyed our conversation, I must return to Lord vane, she has many other assignments that she wishes for me to carry out. I do hope we will see each other on the surface of Ryloth in the near future, untill then, take care." The Imperial Agent would salute Agent Helia before turning to leave the Aruk.

“Oh. It would not be wise, no. But it would still leave you inconveniently damaged. I do not doubt that Lord Vane would find that inconvenient. I would too, had anyone in my service been damaged. However, were Lord Vane to inconvenience my master, my master’s master might find that inconvenient. I for one would not want to inconvenience a Darth, let alone Darth Nyiss.”

It was clear to Helia that each of them had gotten what they could from the situation, so it was indeed best to end it here. “We will be seeing each other again.” she said as she led the other agent back to the airlock and off the ship. She would have to report everything about this to the Apprentice, but that would be fine to do later. For now she had files to study.
