You’re not sure about this. You can think of several reasons to sign on with KDY immediately, but there’s also several reasons not to. This is a corporation you’re talking about, part of the Republic, true, but it’s not the Republic itself. And when has signing contracts a minute after they’ve been given to you ever worked out? You lean over to Fabian.
>Sir, I really think we should take a moment to think about this.
Fabian looks at you and nods.
“Agreed. Commander Verne. You may thank KDY for the offer. We would like to spend some time considering it, discuss it amongst ourselves. I hope that’s alright?”
Verne spreads his hands wide, in a gesture of agreement.
“But of course. You’ll need some time to decide. I’ll order some quarters made ready for you aboard this ship, though understand that KDY will not put you up forever. We would like you to make a decision sooner, rather than later.”
Faban nods in return.
“Of course. I’ll make my decision by the end of the day.”
With the time agreed upon, Verne sends you out, and you all follow the guards as they lead you away. A few minutes later you’re lead to a set of, by clone standards, luxurious rooms, obviously meant for official guests or high ranking officers. The seats even have cushions. You all gather in a central common room, sitting awkwardly in your armour on a plush leather couch. There’s a dejarik table in the middle. Fabian spends a moment looking at the board before raising his head.
“Well men. We have to make a decision. We all have to sign it, but even if it was just for me I’d want your input. It’s an opportunity, one we might not get anywhere else, but I’m not 100% on it. What do you think?”
Fisher is the first to speak, tapping his finger against the board to emphasise his words.
“We’ll follow you, sir, whatever you decide.” The rest of you nod in agreement. “But what I want to know is why they even want us. What do they get out of it? We’re just one regiment. Even with those reinforcements on the ship we’re not even half a legion. So what’s the play?”
