>>5788802You give him a friendly shake and chat a little with him about the state of his company before leaving the range. The common room is down the hall a little, so you head there to check in on Loge. It’s quiet, only a few troopers there who respectfully give you a salute as you pass. Loge’s at a dejarik board, playing against one of his lieutenants, who he’s beating soundly. The trooper surrenders soon after you enter the room. Loge turns to you, a look of triumph on his face.
“Commander! To what do I owe the pleasure?”
>Nothing in particular, just checking in on everyone. You’re playing dejarik?“Yes sir, I’m a big enthusiast of the game. You dabble in it yourself, sir?”
>Only a little. “Well, feel free to join me whenever you’re free. I could always do with more opponents.”

You promise you shall, and leave him to torment some poor shinies with the prospects of duel. You head to the mess hall this time, and find Goto having a meal in the officers mess while reading the latest from the holonet. He looks up as you sit down across from him.
“Hello, Commander.”
>Goto. How are the prisoners?He nods. “Well enough. We’ve placed them in the ships brig, though I’m wondering if we shouldn’t fit a room here for them. It depends on what we do with them. Have you spoken to them yet?”
You shake your head.
>Not yet. I’ll address that problem once we’re finally off-planet.He looks sympathetic. “I don’t know what to do myself. Maybe I could try talking with them, try and convince them to work with us in some capacity. Maybe even join us.”
>You really think you could do that?“I think so. You know I spent some time in the Coruscant Guard, protection detail for some senators in the early days of the war. I picked up a thing or two about manipulation and bargaining from those pricks. It’s pretty simple in all honesty. Could even teach you how to do it.”
