He did what he could to hide the look, but it was too late. He'd been blindingly obvious. Amateurish. Trained for deep cover operations, and all that goes out the window when he sees a living legend.
Idiot.
His cover was already compromised, but he couldn't let it go. The Humans might not have figured it out yet, and who knew if any of them were monitoring this? Not all Imperial brigs had cameras in their cells, but he wouldn't take that chance. For now, he has to stay Human.
"Obviously. You're a Grand Admiral." The Basic accent he was using was one common to the Outer Rim, which had helped him blend in since his assignment began. "Why are you here?"
The outcome likely was going to be dire for him, regardless. He had his own mission, and Mitth'raw'nuruodo--well. He might have his own. It wasn't as if he actually knew anything about what had led the famous CEDF commander to join the Empire. And even if they were both working for the Ascendancy, then the other chiss was just as bound by his role to play as he was.
