Oh great. Skye thoought to herself. Just great. I'm sure he's gonna ask me what am I doing. "How long will the briefing take?" Skye asked Osman.

Osman sensed Sye's discomfort, 'as long as it should, darling.' He tenderly held her hand and kissed it, 'you ok?'

"Ummm...not really...Jyn...he's here...what do I do?" Skye said, biting her lip uncertainly.

Osman glanced at Jyn then looked back at Skye. 'It's okay... just act normal. You're with me now, and Jyn's gonna have to deal with it. Let's just keep our concentration where it belongs, so just think of the mission briefing.' Osman stopped, as his lecture didn't seem to be going anywhere. 'You're gonna be ok.'

"O.K." Skye answered. She waited for the briefing to start.

Ragab paced around himself, thinking about what happened to Riko and Kalo back in Coruscant. Are they fighting? Wounded? Captured? Dead? 'If only I haven't been confronted by Morgul and decided to take im on alone... Or if I fought better against Morgul I would've been in a better condition to help Kalo and Master Riko...'
Osman walked to Ragab, 'yo, don't think like that! You did your best against Darth Morgul and fought very bravely, I'll remember that forever. And don't worry about your master... the dude's a grown man who can take care of himself, and the force will hopefully protect him. Just keep your concentration here and now, and don't dwindle on the past, or you'll just ruin the present.'
Ragab nodded to Osman, 'yes sir.'

Thier was an evil gaze in Jyn's eyes,as he watched Osman and Skye walk in the door. He was about to get up and tell them both what he thought of them,nut then he remebered why he was here in the first place,to learn about the mission...
"Hmmm...I might as well wait till were finished here...Then ill tell them what i really think about them..." Jyn thought to himself,but then turned his attention back to the holovids ingoring Osman and Skye.

Ragab sensed the great anger in Jyn, 'looks like there's gonna be a fight... silly people, over a girl? 'Although she is kinda hot... tch, what the hell. I guess Osman also senses it. I hope Jae does too and does something about it, so we don't have comrades fighting.' Ragab stood straight ready for anything, and fingered his lightsabre lightly in front of Jyn, trying to give a message: calm down, no need to act rashly.

Jae stood in front of the crowd and eyed them for a moment. There were soldiers, pilots, slicers, commandos, officers, SKS, Jedi and even a few people who looked as if they were unsure of how they got there.
"I believe everyone is here, so let me begin." The murmur in the room died down and the room was quiet. "We all are here to bring peace back to the galaxy. But, we cannot do that." The crowd stirred and whispered to each other. "Because," he said, "We cannot even keep the peace between each other."
"All the infighting between the various units is to cease immediately. It is counterproductive and disgusting, if I may say so. All this fight in you and you want to take it out on each other, instead of the Sith. I cannot even begin to imagin a reason why and I will not hear any either. The next time such an incident occurs, I will personally reprimand the indivudual responsible. Do not mistake my kindness for weakness. Of course, anyone who does not share my point of view is free to leave now."
The room was deathly still.
"Very well." Jae punched a key and brought up a holo of Coruscant. "This is our objective. It is imperative that we take back Coruscant. I have already called the fleet from Korriban here to Calamari and several Jedi are also hopefully, on the way. We will make one giant strike back at the Sith on our own planet." He pressed more keys and various other maps came up. "Here is the plan. When our fleets arrive, they will provide cover and escorts for our dropships. We will send the SKS in first. Their objective in to establish a foothold in the Imperial Palace. Next, we will be sending in two commando teams, one led by Commander Ravene and one by Commander Threteer. Commander Threteer's team will take back the main spaceport and Commander Ravene's team will follow the SKS, then take back the Senate building. After we have gained control of the spaceport, we will immediately drop the rest of the troops, led by Commander Ricce. They will be deployed at his discretion to assistance whichever forward unit requires more manpower. Lastly, but certainly not least," he said with a smile, "each unit will have a Jedi to accompany them. They will NOT be in command, but they will asssit you in the battle."
He looked around the room again. "We will leave for Coruscant tommorrow morning. Are there any questions?"

Osman was quite satisfied, the hard details were to be determined on the way to Coruscant. He sent a message to everyone in his department, 'prepare for launch tomorrow morning. Spectre gunship and fast attack craft teams Haunter, Badr, Khyber and Kryvak fuel up and rearm in preperation for Operation Blade's Edge. Individual details on wristpads.'
As the people in the room were dismissed, Osman went to Ragab, 'you're coming with me. You're not snobby and you're also a fierce, intelligent, dedicated fighter.' Ragab nodded instantly and shook Osman's hand.
Osman then went to Skye. 'Well, your date awaits.'
Skye was a little surprised at how Osman could be so sunny before such an operation, but did not hesitate to hold Osman's hand. Osman sensed Skye's surprise, 'don't worry, a little fun before we kick ass never hurt at all...'

Jyn stood up and glared at Skye and Osman,he then glanced over at Res who was obviously standing thier with a few MP's. It was quite obvious that everyone seemed to be against Jyn at this point.
As Jyn made his way through the door where Osman and Skye were standing three MP's unbuckled thier stun batons and held them in a ready position...
Jyn stood in front of Osman and stared him the eye,and thought for a moment about grabbing his pistol and shooting him in the stomach.
"No not yet....Thier time will come soon...Very soon..." Jyn thought to himself.
Jyn turned around and walked out of the command room... ____________________________________________________ Joe was sitting on his bed when one of his buddies ran up to him, Hey Joe did you here? Were finnaly gonna get to go on a mission!
Joe nodded, and started to think to himself, "Hmmm...Its about time..." Nobody could see it but underneath Joe's visor he was smiling.

Skye breathed a sigh of relief. That was too close. she thought.

Osman took Skye on the date. The restaurant was CaveCalamari, and the design of the area went well with the name: the furniture, bar, everything was carved out of stone. It was also whaere Osman met MOrbius and was the first step in starting the SKS. Osman sat in front of Skye, smiling with her hand over his. 'Really glad we could go out. So tell me about yourself Skye. I want to know every damn thing about you...' he chuckled a bit, then listened.

"Well, I'm an only child...I have no communication with my parents...my father died in a speeder crash when I was 11...I don't know where my mother is. Like, what exactly do you want to know?"

Osman looked at Skye. It seemed that he nneded to tell his life story first.
'I was born in Dantooine. Well, my mother was the one from Dantooine, dad was from Korribban. My dad used to come and go every week to see my mother. However, when I was four, my mom took me and escaped to her dad's house to stay away from her husband. My grandfather was a General in theOld Republic Army, a very admirable man. However, my dad didn't stop stalking my mom. He wanted us both, especially me. But my mom couldn't have it, so one day she murdered my dad as he beat her to take me to Korribban to be his apprentice. This happened when I was five, but then my mom was killed by certain 'friends' of my dad, and I was taken to a foster home. They treated me like a dog, making me do their housework while they manipulated my inheritance money. After that my grandpa took me in when I was six. I trained in Dantooine until I was 16 and, with gramps' help, joined the Imperial Academy to follow the old man's footsteps. And here I am now.'
Skye couldn't help but ask, 'apprentice? Friends? What was your dad?
'He was... a Sith Lord, who was having a secret affair with my mother so she can just produce an apprentice for him that he can just take to Korribban and train.'

"That is just cruel." Skye said, horrified.

'Yeah,' Osman listened to the music being played. 'Anyway, I worked with the Empie after I turned 24, but I left the moment I realised I was working with a bunch of war criminals.
'I then hated the world. It was too despicable. I just wandered through planets getting drunk and fighting, until the same thing happened right there at that bar,' Osman pointed at the stone bar, 'with a fat man called Morbius. We were both arrested and thrown in jail, but we escaped and joined the rebellion. One thing led to another and here we are.
'However, I still had my death wish. I always welcomed death, hoping I get killed in any mission I went to. But now that feeling's gone. Now, I have someone to go back home for, Skye.' He looked at her, feeling a bit safer to tell her how he felt about her.

Skye looked down and thought a little while. Then she spoke. "And...that person's...me?" Skye said, looking up.

Man you're slow, thought Osman. 'Yeah, Skye. You see, um, I have really strong feelings for you. You're very very special to me. If you wanna know how, let me just say you taught me it's alright to live again. I love you.' Osman waited for Skye's response, his heart thudding. This is harder than fighting the Dark Lord, felt Osman.
'But, this isn't safe... what if I was hurt, or killed?'
'If you were hurt? Well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, we're in the military. If you died? Hell, I'd date Ragab!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rgab was in the barracks doing two things at once. First, he was hanging out with Joe and the others to prepare for tomorrow's operation. Second, he and his new buddies, Joe included, kept a close eye on Jyn, and he followed him around stealthily to make sure Jyn's anger wasn't that dangerous. 'Over a girl? Silly guy.'

"I love you too. I..." Skye paused, then smiled. "You're very special to me, too." She waited his response...
