[ obviously roxy is the rebel spy featured in here. sorry about ruining your star tours. ]

[Just because you blew up the Death Star doesn't mean you don't get to play messenger boy every once in a while. Luke has to wonder what it is about him - he knows he's small and quick on his feet, but...

Anyway. He likes Roxy well enough - she's a good soldier and she's good at gathering intel. Mon Mothma gave him the orders, and he doesn't want to let her down, of course. No matter how much of a hero you are, if the leader of the Alliance tells you to do something, you do it. (Plus, he's still a little nervous around Mon Mothma.)

Trotting down the hallways of the base, he knocks on Roxy's door, waiting for her to answer.]

[ Who isn't a little nervous around Mon Mothma? She certainly is, though it obviously stems from a great deal of respect. Roxy is new at this, but it doesn't make her any less capable of working hard and striving to be the best. She is quickly earning a reputation of being especially slick and able to squeeze herself into difficult situations without batting an eye.

The door slides open to reveal her standing at attention, shoulders pulled back with her ponytail swinging after she's just pulled her hair away from her face. She wears a serious expression which briefly flickers into a nervous smile when she sees Luke on the other side. ]

Greetings, uh, hi.

[Luke returns the smile, though it's not so nervous. He's still a pretty humble guy, despite not exactly being thrilled about delivering messages - they have comm systems, he thinks - but learning to pilot more efficiently and work as a team has instilled a lot of confidence in him that moisture farming never really could. His posture is more relaxed, an invitation for her to do the same.]

Good morning, Roxy. Got a job from you - orders from Mon Mothma herself. You ready to hear this?

Excellent.

[ Is she ready? Maybe. She knows that he wouldn't judge nervousness which is why she is willing to show a little vulnerability, shifting her weight from one foot to another before she steps aside to let him into her small quarters. ]

I'm ready as I'll ever be, I suppose, [ Roxy answers with a flicker of a smile, stranding erect with her shoulders pulled back, visibly steeling herself for the orders. ]

[He doesn't. Luke knows nerves well - he definitely had them before his famed run, in any case. He still gets them before every skirmish - practically everyone does, he thinks - at least anyone sentient who values their life. Still, he steps into her quarters, sitting on the bed.]

Star Tours - the travel agency. Are you familiar with them? We have a few people working on the inside there, and they've started to offer packages into the Bothan sector. So - that area of space being the way it is, you need Imperial clearance to get through, and we need to figure out a way to go in and gain that without being noticed, so we can get in later to try and reclaim some of the planets there for the Republic. All that being said: how would you like to play tourist for a while?

Certainly. My family once went on a Star Tour when I was very small.

[ Easy and inexpensive back in those days, if she remembers this correctly. It's expanded a great deal since she was merely eight years old. ]

So, I've got to be as inconspicuous as possible. Got it. [ Roxy knows she's pretty, but she can also emphasize her plainness when necessary, especially for tasks such as this one. She flashes him a grin. ] I'd love to play tourist.

That's awesome. I didn't get to really go off-world until...well, until I went to go find Leia.

[He's still kind of sore about the death of his aunt and uncle. He wanted to get off Tattooine just as much as any kid with Academy dreams, especially considering he wanted to follow Biggs there, but he wasn't expecting to leave like that.

And then there was Biggs. There's a distinct frown as he thinks about the deaths of the people close to him - they're still fresh in his mind.

But he's not here to dwell. He shakes it off.]

I think there's a holopad with more information in the debriefing room. I know you can do this, Roxy. We're rooting for you.

[ Carefully, her eyes follow Luke, her gaze unwavering and a sympathetic smile forms on her features. Roxy has always been well off, well trained, well on all accounts, though she had always aspired to be even more than what was expected of her. It is a sacrifice she wants to make, leaving that life behind, because she cares more about righting injustices in the universe. It's sometimes difficult for her not to talk about her privileges when she feels she can at least be open with Luke.

She smiles and ducks her head, sweeping her hand over her loose hair, for once out of her ponytail. ]

Thanks. Thank you.

[ Roxy slides open the door to her small closet, her attire sparse but at least versatile and ready to blend into different places when she needs to. ]
