Star Commander Nathan Roshak shrugged.  "The savashri little stravag did not surrender easily...or at all, as far as I can tell.  He will have to recover enough to speak before that particular hash is settled, but I want the little son of a bitch.  He gave me the best fight I have had since this invasion began."
"This is not related to your disturbing hobbies, is it, Nathan?" Star Colonel Marthe Pryde asked.
"Maybe a little, I saw the sibbie's nametag." Nathan admitted, adding, "Ngo. and the records indicate he is from that bloodline."
"Elbar?" said Marthe
Nathan nodded.  "Like a collectible." he said.
"Morgan Icaza claims 'that kid' for his own." quoted Marthe
"We will settle that in a civilized manner." Nathan allowed.
"Just as long as both of you are combat capable afterward." she told him, "He was the last one unaccounted for, quiaff?"
"Aff." Nathan nodded, "The other cadets...that survived, were in custody and assigned to bondholders three days ago.  Cadet Korporal Henry Ngo was the last one unaccounted for from the Cadet Battalion.  Good improvisational abilities, good tech skills. Third best piloting scores..I would argue they did not challenge him sufficiently, some of those moves he used were extremely advanced techniques, especially in a junker like the one he was driving-I would rate him higher than Shelby or Klaus if I were the falconer."
"You studied his file already?" she asked
"The disciplinary notes were enlightening-good team player, with aggression factors high. He is very focused on practical and hands-on activities." Nathan described, "Noted as having 'some' leadership potential, but his instructors did not see him rising higher than Hauptmann due to slight deficiencies in academic and 'socialization' skillsets. Which is odd, because it says right there in the file he speaks three languages and can read and write in two additional ones.  I suspect either a lack of motivation, or a lack of challenge.  He will be a good fit for my Sweep Star once he has been properly broken in."
"You assume you will win possession from Icaza." she noted.
"I assume correctly Morgan is neither stupid nor wasteful. The boy does not have the build to serve in an Elemental Point."
