2LT Tornado climbs out of his fighter, covered in sweat. Hands his helmet over to the tech and walks over to Commander Steel's fighter. Waits as the Commander climbs down and gives him a sharp salute. Commander Steel returns the salute. "We did it boss." said Tornado. "I can't believe that we did it and pushed the stinking Rebels out of here. Too bad we had to frag the dock, would have been nice to have under our control for the system." Steel smiles, then frowns as he sees a chunk of his fighter is missing. "I wonder what else is missing from it." "I don't know boss, yours looks like its in better shape than the inside of mine. I got panels and wires sticking out of mine. I think I got shocked afew
times."

A communications officer walks up to the Lieutenant and Commander and give them both a salute. "I have a message for Lieutenant Tornado sir." Tornado returns the salute and takes the holopad from the officer. "Oh no boss. I got to go. My wife is getting ready to give birth to my son. I will need to take a leave of absence for abit." "No problem Lieutenant. I will debrief Commander MAR and Captain Wedge for us and advise of your leave. Keep in touch and congrats." said Steel. Tornado gives a salute, "Thank you sir. I'll be back as soon as I can." Tornado takes a wiff of himself. "But first I need to change before I get on the transport. Don't want to give the shuttle a permenant stink of pilot."
