Another For The Road (D10, ME)

[Vec Gunnar]

Vec eyed the girl with a stroke of his chin in thought, there were enough people who were upset with how things were but very few were able to change the status quo.

"In the case, I hope you're the one who pushes that sentiment over the edge to make it happen," he said with a lift of his glass toward her direction after crushing his cigarette. "The Empire is made of hard stuff, from what I've seen, even if it's made up of many parts on top of each other. You must just have to start in one place than start from the top."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

The gesture was returned as she lifted her own beer.

"I like to think I at least have a good starting point, being familiar with the nobles, military command, and the Sith. Of course, there's a lot of stuff to learn along the way... learn and adapt," she said with a shrug, idly wondering what the late minister of war would have thought about this conversation.

"And of course, having capable people with me is a start."

[Vec Gunnar]

"That's for damn sure. I think you'd want to be around capable people in the end, good or bad. It could make the difference between digging yourself out of a hole, or further in one." He gave a glance at the tables behind him, "The stakes are going to be higher than losing a couple month's pay, depending on the cages you rattle around here."

He leant back against the bar, "Speaking of which, you haven't been charming a doctor to string along, would you?"

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Ah yes, petty officer Ormont," she nodded. "I believe he has quite good insight to offer, not to mention his skill in the medical field being very impressive."

She emptied the last of her beer.

"Even with the peace, I don't think he will defect from the Republic, though I have offered him a place in the Empire. He has at least started to realise that the Empire is more than the nonsense their propaganda has been telling him, so he will at least be a valuable asset to have on the Republic side. "

[Vec Gunnar]

"He's a decent guy and seems to get along with everyone well enough, yeah. As you said, don't think he'll skip out from the Republic, he definitely seems more at home with them all things considered. If things go well, you'll probably even have a place to crash if you ever end up in one of their systems," he smirked.

"You'll be travelling a lot if you're going to change things, I reckon if you're going about this right. Sitting around and talking about it in a party room probably lasts as long as you stay in the room. Making big things happen, you'll probably have to tug all the corners of the galaxy, yeah?"

[Shaisha Vreysk]

She nodded. "There will be travelling, yeah. Sometimes it will be to the aforementioned party, but I don't intend on merely speaking philosophies in salons... not really in my nature to sit around too much. I've only been Darth Vowrawn's apprentice for less than a year and already done more than many other Sith older than me. "

"Who knows, maybe I'll travel into Republic space, but right now it's a matter of reaching out to those who will be my allies, as well as trusting in the Force to guide me."

[Vec Gunnar]

"Mrm," he murmured under his breath when it came to the Force, which wasn't something he had the ability or subscribe to much. Hard to think there was some great inner weave in the universe when you grew up as a punk on a low world. "The Force does open many doors, not that I know myself. The Darths are a testament to that."

"Speaking of parties, heard Jo'ren was holding one not too far from him. Never figured he was big into Huttball to have a following, then again, I only played one game. Is that on your list of parties to attend, one of many stepping stones to change the galaxy?" He said with a faint smirk.
