Osenia and Tadeusz quickly met at the starport of Flying Wing Star.
After completing some clerical handover tasks, the two also chatted a bit.
They discussed the war at hand.
"Has the Governor already departed from Rage Owl Star?"
"Yes." Osenia replied, "He should arrive in about two days."
"Then it will be time."
Upon hearing this, Osenia's expression was still somewhat melancholic.
She lamented, "If only we could avoid war, that would be great."
Tadeusz did not respond.
He had worked with Osenia for decades. Even though they had never deliberately cultivated a personal relationship, aside from work interactions, they had no other exchanges. Nevertheless, they shared a revolutionary camaraderie built over decades, and they were comrades.
Precisely because of this, Tadeusz understood that Osenia's lamentation was not a sign of weakness from the Alliance Premier.
But there was a little... reluctance.
