Donos is silent for a while. "I wouldn't know," he says finally, "where to go, sir."
"I see," the commander says. "Perhaps your squadron mates would have some suggestions. You could ask Lieutenant Janson if he thinks you should go to Endor."
Donos feels his face crack into a smile. But the events of the past two years have instilled greater self-knowledge and honesty in him, and if there is one thing he has learned, it is that Commander Antilles is a commanding officer who can be trusted with honesty. "Or rather," he says, "as long as I am not on leave, I have an excuse... I have a reason not to go to Corellia." Finally, he looks up and meets the commander's gaze.
