"Oh, yeah? Well you're fat!" Janus yelled after the X-Wing pilot. "I'm hitting the sack ladies and gents. You should do the same before too long." he said to the rest of the pilots as he left the room.

"Well tommorow by the sound of it," said Nalla with a slight smile, she drained the last of her drink and got up, "i prefer to get a good nights sleep before fighting imps in the morning, ill see you back at our room."

Corban wheeled around as Chris approached him from behind. His face, that of drunken surprise, turned to a smile as he wrapped an arm around his roomate.
"Ah, yes... Chris, Chris.... Hey, d'you see the guns on that Twil back there, man?"

Chris grinned as he let his roomate support himself on his shoulder, "yeah i did, damn nice, c'mon just lean on me and you wont fall over, well get you back safe," his mental image of the rebel pilot had been somewhat shaken in the last few hours, hed imagined them as less human somehow, but the rebels probably had the same image of Imperial pilots.
They got to their bunk room and Chris helped Corban through the door and guided him to his bed.

Raol walked through the corridors, back to the captains quarters. The halls were full of rather green pilots, in more senses than one, going back for a good nights rest. Patrol duty tomorrow would be a test, as they were flying through some pretty hot systems.
He got back to his quarters, stripped down and lay down.
It felt like his head had only just touched the pillow when the alarm went off.
'Unidentified contact on scanners! All essential personnel to their stations! Fighter crews, assemble in the hangar bay. I repeat.....'
"Looks like it never ends." Raol sighed, and rushed on his uniform, and headed for the bridge.

The comm screens crackled to life, filled with static and interference. A fear-bleached face appeared.
"This is shuttle Skipstone. Mayday, mayday," the pale pilot said in a shaky voice.
"We are inbound from the Sullust system, we just barely escaped in one piece. The Empire is all over the system, nothing's left, mayday, power cells are failing.."
Nobody was able to reply before the screen went blank and the shuttle vanished in a glowing yellow cloud of plasma.
"Comm station to Captain!" shouted the officer. "Sullust is under Impreial attack!"

Janus arrived in the hangar before most of the others. He was still buttoning up his green flight-suit as he jogged in.
"What happened?" he asked.

Jack had just laid down in his bunk when the alarm jolted him conscious his legs responded before his brain was conscious and he tripped over his sheets smacking his head on the floor, "Crap," he snarled as he unentangled himself and grabbed his jumpsuit and sprinted towards the hangar, reaching his fighter he leapt up and grabbed onto the handholds and opened the canopy, seeing Janus he yelled, "Get to your fighter its an emergency scramble."
--------------------------------------
Chris grabbed his jumpsuit from his locker, he shook Corban, "wake up, there's an alert," without waiting for a reply from him he staggered out into the corridoor and headed for the hangar bay.

"Oh. OH!" Janus exclaimed. He looked around for his fighter before running over to it. Pilots were streaming through the doors as he got in his and started punching in the combinations to activate it.

Nalla was halfway to her bunk room twitching her headtails quietly in thought when the alarm went off, startling her...
"Fighter crews, assemble in the hangar bay," she quickened her pace to a run as she headed to the hangar bay, the mechanics had popped her canopy put not put up a ladder yet, she leapt up her hand going over the edge off the canopy hauling herself up into the cockpit, she pulled her helmet on and started to warm up her engines.

Corban snapped to conciousness, and ran out of the room, snatching his jumpsuit as he left. He blew down the hallway, past Chris, whom he patted on his shoulder. Fueled by pre-hangover numbness, Corban slid into the hangar, sprinted toward his B-Wing, leapt onto the wings, climbed up, and popped himself into the cockpit.
He almost started the vehicle before he realised he had no idea what he was doing.

Arriving on the bridge, Raol looked at the chaos unfolding. He cringed, he hated chaos.
"Everyone? HEY, STAND TO ATTENTION!"
All of the crew stopped, and stood to attention.
"Right, back to your stations. Quietly!
Helmsman, set course for sullust in 5. Tactical, you have that time to test all weapons, I don't want any surprises. Everyone, prepare for immediate engagement. Comm's, open a channel to the fleet, and shipwide."
*Ding Dong*
"All hands, this is your Admiral. We have received patchy reports of an Imperial Fleet attacking Sullust. We are to set course and warp in, simultaneously in 5 minutes. All ships commence weapons test untill the jump. All fighter squadrons, launch, test weapons, then prepare for a hyperspace jump. Once on the other side, pick a ship, and destroy it. We jump in 5. Be prepared. Raol Out"
He sat back down in his chair, and closed his eyes....

Corban's B-Wing was the first one out of the Lentha. He tested every aspect of the B-Wing in under three and a half minutes, and closed the wing foils. He rolled upward, coming to a pause above the Lentha, and belched into the comm.
"Weapons test completed..."

Jack quickly ran through his power up checklist and kicked his fighter up off the ground and into the space, he flew past the bridge to the squadron point, waggling his wings as a sign of respect, pulling his throttle back to the speed of the lentha he scanned the system as the rest of the X-wings emerged.
-------------------------
Chris waited until Fives X-wing was out of the hangar and they activated repulsors and drifted slowly out flying under the lenthas organic like belly, the shape of these ships could never inspire awe like the clean wedge of an imperial star destroyer.

Janus' fighter was the last one of the B-Wings out of the fighter bay. It exited the hangar then arced smoothly over the ship. The rest of the flights formed up behind him.
"System check." he said over his Squadron's private channel. Responses started coming, one at a time.
