I think, therefore I kill.

"That's not a person," gawked one of Jin'ko's wingmen over the comms.

"Yes, yes, I noticed," responded the perturbed wingleader. She didn't miss the droids use of the adjective crispy when describing it's query and she could have sworn that she heard what can best be described as a gleeful tone. She shook her head, well it was cooperating, stick to protocol.

"Alright A-55, I am Ensign Jin'ko Hayate. You say you are a mercenary and I can tell your aim is set on the Outcasts. This is very well and good but we like to know what's what in our warzone if and when possible, especially when it concerns hired guns. Your continued co-operation will ensure that this will be nothing more then protocol." continued Jin'ko Hayate on the channel being used for the Talon. She was already thinking that this was already not going to be the usual protocol. Her sensei may want to know of this droid. "Please follow us to Ogashawa in Sigma 19 for a few questions and registration. I'm certain that ship would be better off out of these high radiation zones."

No sooner had she finished her transmission to the Talon when the report of the other squad returning started on her comm speaker.

"Yes they were all brought down but we lost two ships and we were only able to recover one escape pod, we lost one...." came the most significant part of the report, hitting Jin'ko's heart the way a hammer hits the war drum.

"Hai, copy that." came her forlorned responce over the comm, "get over here quick, our job isn't done yet. We will be escorting this Talon to Ogashawa as soon as it's droid pilot confirms."

"A droid pilot?"

"Hai, a mercenary too, a very curious droid indeed." finnished Jin'ko as she waited for a responce from the Talon.
