A'den snorted at Keiran's comment about the individuality of clones.
[glow=orange,2,300]They're all individuals, Keiran, it's just that you non-clones have a hard time seeing past our faces, to the people beneath... but, from the prisoner you brought back, I agree.
I recognised him. See-Tee-Seven-Four-Eight-Ought-Two: Hopper. I trained him in K'Tara and Stava on Kamino, along with the rest of his unit. You might not have noticed it, but there's a small tatoo on his neck, down by his right shoulder. Whole unit got them, when they were first deployed. Celebration of sorts. All almost identical, but with the last two digits of their CT-number on the bottom.
He didn't recognise me, Keiran. I trained with and taught this man from the time we were children... and he had no idea who I was.
They were never Mando... the Kaminoans wouldn't let them be, and my Cuy'val Dar wasn't allowed to train them... only me. But they were still my vode... men I understood and liked. And now they're something different. Dangerous.[/glow]
A'den stirred the food in his plate around in circles, before looking up again, eyes hard, a slight grin on his face.
[glow=orange,2,300]I always knew I'd probably face them in combat. For real, with blood on the line. But not like this... still, most likely we'll have to face and fight them. Best to do it on our own terms.
We'll send out some parties, with the express intention of fighting them, gaining combat experience against them in small-scale engagements before we have to face them in all-out war.
Organize some sorties, and lets see what we're up against.
The Regency's going to learn you don't mess with Mandalorians...[/glow]
