They landed on Panna, Tanda's current home-planet. Her family moved around in an effort to avoid capture. As Tanda landed, she noted that both Alek's and Kerik's ships were in the bay. She hopped off the X-wing with Lenna in tow.

Lenna somehow managed to follow Tanda while taking in all her surroundings. It had been so long since she had seen anything but Ewoks and the scenery of Endor. True, they hadn't rendezvoued on Endor, but it had been similar. Soon they found Kerik and Alek.

"Well, fancy meeting you here!" Tanda said, slipping her arm around Kerik's waist, "Have you talked to my father yet?" "No, but I need to do so straight away." "Alright. Shall I come, or not?" "It would be easier if you didn't." he said, rather sheepishly. "Alright. I'll just help Alek take Lenna on a little tour. Unless they want to go alone?" It was Alek's turn to look sheepish, "We had planned on going alone..." "Then go. You two haven't had a moment of your own in ages. Have fun." The three walked off, leaving Tanda standing alone in the middle of the hanger bay. She sighed and headed off down a corridor. She reached her quarters, and punched in the key-code, listening to the familiar rush of air and hydraulics as the door opened. She stepped in, and sat down to play a little music.

Alek showed Lenna all the sights worth seeing. After such a long time in seclusion, Lenna was almost overwhelmed by everything she saw. Included in Alek's tour was the planet's Resistance center. They stopped by Tanda's quarters so she could accompany them on this part of the tour.

Alek tried to punch in the key-code, and it beeped a negative at him. He tried again without success. Finally he gave up and pounded on the door. Tanda came to the door and opened it, an odd look in her eyes. "Want to join us while we get her signed up? Your word will help her in, you know." "Sure," she said distractedly

Ello landed the small ship on the planet, identified as Panna. She sighed with relief and got up from the pilot's chair. Brushing her red hair out of her face, she grabbed her cloak and mini blaster. The rich green cloak hid her face, and her gun. Her boots clunked down the ramp as she surveyed the landscape. She was so tired from the trip, all she did was go into town and get a few spare parts she needed. The man behind the counter stared curiously into the dark face of the cloak, but she merely took the parts and left. Once back on the ship, she lay down on the bed and fell into sleep.

Meanwhile, Tanda and Lenna and Alek reached the military complex. Tanda got them in the back door, and they headed for the commander's office. They knocked and were told to enter. They strode in to find a square-cut man with greying hair sitting blade-straight behind a desk. He looked up from a stack of paperwork...

The man's appearance somewhat frightened Lenna. He looked every inch a no-nonsense military man. Tanda, however did not seem daunted in the least; she walked up to the desk and addressed him.

He looked up, struggling to acheive an interested expression. When Lenna extended her hand, he raised one eyebrow and shook her hand, nooding. He then turned his attention to Tanda, "Where do you drag them up? She doesn't look affiliated with anyone." "She isn't. Is that an issue, Sargeant?" "No, ma'am; it's great! It means we don't have to overcome any conflict in her background. Does she have papers?" "No. Before you begin the boring schpeal, can you tell me one thing?" Tanda was looking placidly irate with the man, and he cringed and nodded. "Why in the world are you asking these questions of me? Do you not think she speaks common? And....for your information.....I didn't drag her up from anywhere. She knows Alek." "Does she now...? You've gotten around the galaxy, eh Alek?" Tanda looked as if she would quite cheerily throttle the Sargeant. "You....Sargeant.....may find yourself kicked back to greasing shuttle pod parts if you don't keep your nose where it belongs. Major Alek can take care of his own affairs."

Lenna felt slightly emboldened by Tanda's obvious superiority. She stepped to Alek's side and took his hand. "You never told me you were a major," she whispered at him. "You never asked," he whispered back.
"All right, young lady," the sargeant said, "you've got to have a last name. What is it?"
A cocky half-smile crept onto Lenna's visage. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you," she said.
"Try me."
There was a note of triumph in Lenna's tone as she said, "Solo."

Tanda coughed, but quickly masked her surprise. She shot a questing glance at Alek and Lenna, struggling to keep her jaw from dropping. The Sargeant, however, did not fare as well.

The look of pure shock that registered on the sargeant's face emboldened Lenna further. "I'm only here to help. Where do I sign up?"

"Fill out this paperwork, then down the hall and to your left. Your...friends can lead you." He managed to croak. Tanda surpressed a smile, eyes gleaming, as Lenna filled out the paperwork.

They made their way 'down the hall and to the left'. Lenna said, "Sorry I didn't tell you before, Tanda, but you didn't ask."
"Forget it. Your name is an asset, Lenna Solo. Use it well."
"I will," Lenna said, getting a mischievous gleam in her eye.

Lenna and Tanda smiled at each other, glad to know that they had friends in each other and continued walking down the hall. Another figure was walking also, deep in thought. With much head knocking and tripping the three ran into each other. "Ow! What was that for?" Thenin snapped, grey-green eyes darting between Lenna and Tanda.

Tanda stepped in between them, surveying the stranger with cool eyes and warning lenna back with a hand. "What seems to be the problem? You are equally at fault here." She tilted the stranger's face up to meet her gaze. "Name. Rank. And quickly, for my patience for rude people is very thin."

Thenin tensed when Tanda's hand touched her, then, forced her body to relax. "My name is Thenin, I have yet to be given a rank." she growled.

Tnada arched an eyebrow and nodded sagely. "I see. My advice to you, Thenin, is to acquire one. You also may try to be less rude. What troubles you?" She had caught a bit of distress that had nothing to do with the collision, but she really was not allowed to invade minds.

Thenin's invisible guard came up again. "Nothing." she snapped. Then, in an effort not to be rude she asked. "Ummm, I'm new here, could you tell me where I can sign up?"

Lenna laughed. Thenin gave her a confused look, so she explained. "I kind of just shocked the guy in charge of recruitment. You might want to give him a few minutes to get himself back together. Then it's the third door on the right." Lenna pointed. "I'm Lenna Solo, by the way." She stuck out her hand.

Tanda's eyes grew dark at this as well. She had been away too long, then. She set her jaw, replying "While I'm around, there's no fear of that. Anyone who so much as hints at being two-faced will find themselves in a very sticky situation." Although her voice did not grow louder (indeed, it grew softer, verging on a growl), it became laden with intensity; the kind of voice that makes you want to take a step backward.

Lenna was very glad Tanda was on the same relative side as she was. She wouldn't want to have Tanda for an enemy.
She cleared her throat. "So, Thenin, let's go get you officially signed up."
