Does Mr. Bond count as a familiar face to Corran? He's in a good enough mood today. For no particular reason. Nope. Just good enough to make him grin more than usual. He remembers enjoying the conversation with Corran when they first spoke, so he has no qualms walking up to the other man's booth.

"Afternoon."

[callitavesper]

"I never said they liked it in my organization, either," he replies. "In fact I was reprimanded for it, but they didn't complain much when I found the results they were looking for."

Is that smugness on Bond's face? Naaah.

[corsec_jedi]

A snort. "Anything as long as the need and the prying eyes are satisfied. Lucky Intel. Makes me think of the Wraiths." He shakes his head, then grins back. "Nice work, though. Keeps the critics quiet."

[callitavesper]

"For the time being." He's certain he hasn't heard the last of M's complaints.

"Wraiths?"

[corsec_jedi]

Corran chuckles. "You asked... They're a whole unit of Intel specialists. Used to be primarily X-Wing pilots, but they were too good for that. Funny thing about them though, they're all nerfshit crazy. Tend to leave a lot of destruction in their wake--almost as much psychological as physical."

[callitavesper]

That sounds like the 00 section on steroids.

He frowns. "Psychological?"

[corsec_jedi]

"Mostly on their superiors, the way I hear it." He shrugs. "A friend in the unit once told me their motto was 'Pretty--what do we blow up first?'."

Another shrug. "Like I said--they're all nerfshit crazy."

[callitavesper]

"Aaah. That sounds rather like the section I'm in."

[corsec_jedi]

"And the opposite of the Jedi."

Pause.

"Alright, the opposite of what we're supposed to do. We get to have fun on the job sometimes."

'Sometimes', in this case, meaning 'anytime Master Skywalker gives me any sort of a scouting, rescue, or bashing mission, which is pretty much always'.

[callitavesper]

"I don't think my boss understands the meaning of 'fun.'" Which doesn't mean he doesn't have any fun on his job.

[corsec_jedi]

"I'm pretty sure they specifically put in charge the people who've forgotten how to have fun," Corran agrees with a grin. "Though maybe their definitiion of fun is just to rein in us young whippersnappers."

[callitavesper]

"Or relive their glory days by working the hell out of us."

[corsec_jedi]

"If they had glory days to begin with--Commander Antilles excepted," he adds with a wry grin.

[callitavesper]

"True. Most of them are just overglorified and overpromoted office workers."

[corsec_jedi]

"Or just meddlesome nerfherders who suck up to the right people."

No, he's not thinking of Kirtan Loor. Why would Kirtan Loor come to mind with such a vicious description? It's not like Corran and Kirtan HATED each other or anything...
