I consider sparring with him for a moment. I've never (knowingly) sparred with a member of E.F. Could be a useful learning experience. "Maybe so." I wonder briefly how old he is. He doesn't seem any older than me, might even be younger. And the way he talks, it doesn't seem very likely he's seen a lot of active combat.
"Not sure. I never really know until my orders are handed down." I'm used to it. That's what being a Special Officer is like. "I'm near enough to a promotion. If that goes through, I'll most likely end up stationed with a forward fleet. Maybe even in the Emperor's Vanguard." I roll my eyes a bit. It's a feeble joke, but it's a joke nonetheless, at least among S.O.'s. A place in the Emperor's Vanguard is an easy ride, sure, but you're also never about to see active combat again.

Which is actually the last thing I want, ever.
