My curiosity is piqued at Deeso's vocal transformation. Perhaps it is a woman under the mask instead of a man. I shrug. As long as Deeso does the job well, it does not matter.
Looking over the group's data, I place individuals into teams: Salak Orn, Callid, and myself to retrieve and install the computer spike, and Sotorre, Deeso, and Khal Torr to meet the resistance cells and find Danni Valton. One Jedi, one computer expert, one human, one command figure, one small figure, and one medic per team.
I key my earbud comlink and tune it to the frequency given to the squad. "Please report to the cargo bay." Once they arrive, I transfer a brief message to their datapdas detailing Madine's decision to make me nominal commander and Deeso the XO, group assignments and reasoning, and a request for a callsign for identification once we get on the ground. I glance around at the group to judge reactions. "Questions?"
