((Sorry about the wait, fellas)) Upon the transmission from Deschain, the Azure Nova would warm up her engines. The moment the transmission from Volus came, the Shuttle lifted up and gracefully floated out of the secondary hangar. When it passed through the mag locks and reverted to its artificial gravity, Corvus always felt a slight vertigo during that moment of no gravity. Although he was an insular man, and few knew this, he was human, and he did enjoy the feeling. To be honest, every aspect of the Navy, he loved. He also strove to embody the Navy itself. As a Admiral, he felt there was no other way to serve than by the utmost example. He practiced military drill, made sure he could do a perfect physical fitness test despite being in his 50s, and the growing trend of several Imperial officers of all branches and services to be overweight and out of shape, and he was an honorable man, but ruthless and cold when necessary. He would execute a man if he had to, but tried to avoid it if possible. He would bombard a planet, but preferred to let the Stormtroopers have their fun. He would attack civilian targets, justifying it with the fact that they were traitors to the Empire but giving them to quickest deaths possible.
Today, he had to be cold, to Volus at least. It was displeasing that priates were able to run so many sorties against an Imperial world, let alone penetrate deep into the system, and perpetrate a multiple target operation. Either the group was extremely determined, or something else was going on here. To Corvus, it was something else. Whether or not a plot from outside or within Volus, he could not say... but being cold and menacing towards the Volusians and their leadership would make it clear. He gave thought to the possibilities, why things were happening the way they were, what the goals could be. He didn't survive the Clone Wars, nor rise to his level of rank, without being weary, or cautious. He thought on the situation as he rode into the Avenger's hangar bay. The TIEs would break off shooting down both sides of the Avenger, before heading back over to the Singularity to remain in an orbit pattern.
