Adrian not looking at Mitron asked from the corner of his mouth, "So what ships are under my command? And are they really shitty ships because I wouldn't be surprised if they were." He said as he actually thought about it and he realized that he really wouldn't be surprised. Mitron commanded a full list of the ships and one of the newer officers answered with a slight stutter, "Well s-sir we have three MC90 class cruisers, a-a-a-and eight Dreadnought class heavy cruisers from the old K-K-Ka-". "Katana Fleet?" Mitron interupted, the officer nodded quickly and then resumed "Eleven Quasar class carriers, with K-K-K-K-Wings and E-wings, and we also h-h-have twenty CR-90 class c-corvettes with X-X-X-wing escort." Adrian nodded thinking the officer was done but the officer stated one more thing, "A-A-A-And one heavily modified G-G-G" The officer sighed as he cursed under his breath.
Adrian smiled politely and figured it was one of the first assignments the officer had, "Continue please and don't be nervous, I don't really bite people that's just a legend about me." The officer's eyes widened and continued. "Gozanti Cruiser named the Red Thun-" The officer paused as he reread that several times "The Red Thunder? What kind of person would fly that h-h-hunk of junk"
Adrian's smile disappeared a little and Mitron looked nervously at him before rushing over to the officer and speaking in a hushed tone explained the situation, as Mitron's words dawned on the newer officer his eyes went to Adrian's face and the officer's face went a stark white. "I'm s-s-s-s-sorry sir! I did not know that was a personal ship of your's!" Adrian gave him a stern look "Why yes it is my ship, and what do you think of me? Am I just some run of the mill ruffian? Oh I must be for flying that hunk of junk!" Adrian began to shout as his anger flared, Mitron backed away from the officer not wanting to face Adrian's rage, "I flew that ship for 23 galactic years bringing arms and supplies to worlds under the harsh rule of the Empire, From Mon Calamari all the way to Naboo, and there were some days were I went hungry as I gave all my food to people who had less than me! People who were starving, people were being tortured and used by the Empire for their material gain! I LOST EVERYTHING TO THE EMPIRE, I LOST MY FAMILY, MY HOME, ALL THANKS TO THEM! BUT YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT STRUGGLE OF HAVING NOTHING AND HAVING TO KEEP MOVING ON AND DOING YOUR BEST TO SURVIVE IN A COLD CARELESS GALAXY NOW WOULD YOU!" He shouted at the top of his lungs
Adrian's eyes were so full of rage, his face had turned a bright red from his shouting and the entire bridge was silent as the veteran and newer officer were just staring at him wide eyed. The only noise came from the soft hum of the monitors as they worked. The Officer that had made the remark was ashen in the face and his head was down in shame at what he said, Adrian had been holding that in for a long time and it felt good to get it out but not at the cadet. He had an uneasy feeling in his stomach, "All of you get back to work." He barked and the bridge was alive with the flurry of his crew as they found other things to have their attention. Adrian motioned for Mitron to follow and he fell into pace behind him.
"That was a bit harsh Adrian, even for you." Adrian glared at him "You know what we went through you and I and you also know the things I sacrificed to help the Rebellion, I will not be called a god damn scruffian for trying to the right thing." He remarked in a huff, his comm beeped and he looked and saw that it was from the New Republic (Someone can insert a new character here if they would like), he answered angrily "Look I don't have time for this I haven't had my McSpacey's coffee yet and I'm on edge so whoever this is, spit it out quick or I'm ending the transmission".
