Re: Act 5.4.0 - Meeting at the Meeting Place of Meeting
Flash, likewise, keeps to himself during his meal and just eats. He's got the look about him of someone who's used to eating quickly because you just don't know when someone's going to shoot at your ship or try and board you. As a result he isn't too delicate about his table manners (though he's also not a slob). He makes sure he has very strong caf nearby and drinks deeply through the meal.
As the CO speaks up Flash listens intently. He nods from time to time and then, when Rainbow Blossomdancer is done, he clears his throat.
"I'm not gonna kid anybody and I don't see a need to vote silently. Sheila for space force commander. Nobody's better suited. I don't have the temperament to lead. She's hands-down the best choice." He spares a nod at Sheila. "Ground force commander, I say Devon. The droid over there is probably better suited," he nods to CC9, "but not everyone's gonna be happy following a droid. Sorry," he adds to the battle droid, "but it's true and I'm guessing you know it better than anyone. But I reckon CC9 should be advisor - ground force 2IC, sort of thing."
Then he puts his empty caf cup down. "As for what we need to grow, I think that's the wrong question. I think we should be asking ourselves which direction we want to grow in. Cos right now we're space battle specialists - for the most part, I mean - but we could go anywhere pretty easily. We've got more strength in the skies than on the ground but we're small and flexible. So I'd say what direction we wanna go in will define what we need to have to get it done." He looks about. "Make sense?"
