VI

I walked up the entry ramp to my ship was greeted by two guns pointing at my head. I slowly raised my hand and looked at Mando.

"Put your guns down, she's with us." The two women looked me up and down. The one on the right had short red hair and pale skin. The other had darker skin. She was beautiful, and if I wasn't focused on someone else, I would go after her. They both wore the same armor.

"Sindre, this is Bo-Katan," he motioned to the redhead, "And this is Koska." I nodded towards Koska and looked over at Bo-Katan. I could basically hear her thoughts. 'How could someone so weak be an asset to your cause?' I shot her a knowing look before walking through the group to the lounge. I sat down in the far seat and looked out the window. After the droids had finished fueling the ship, we lifted off the ground and flew through the atmosphere. I was fiddling with Fennec's blaster when the others walked in. I peered over my shoulder and watched them file in one by one taking seats. The others were talking strategy, but I imagine I would be left on the ship alongside Fett. We had tracked down the ship Dr. Pershing was traveling in. The plan was to invade and overtake that and stage an attack on it to land on Moff Gideon's cruiser. Once the meeting looked like it had ended, I stood and walked out and headed towards the kitchenette. I was pouring myself a glass of water when I saw the man in armor walk towards me.

"I like your new look," I heard him say. I turned around and sipped my water.

"What's the deal with Bo-Katan?"

"She's just a dry person. She's after Gideon for the Dark Saber. I figured I help her get the saber; she helps me get the kid. It's a win-win."

"Why does she want the Saber so bad?"

"The person who wields it is the ruler of Mandalore. She wants to bring glory back to the planet." I nodded as I finished my glass of water. I placed the empty cup in the basin and walked past him towards the sleep chamber. The door opened and I walked to the edge of the bed and fell backward. He walked in behind me. I raised an eyebrow in suspicion and propped my body up on my elbows.

"When we get to Gideon's cruiser. I want you to come with me. I can fight while you protect the child."

"What about my mother?"

"If she's still on board, I'll make sure we get her." I nodded my head and laid down. He stood in the doorway in front of me.

"We're going to confirm the location of Dr. Pershing's ship. Once we take it over, you'll join the rest of us, and Fett will take care of your ship." I sat still in the bed with my eyes closed. Eventually, he got the clue and walked away, letting the door shut. I stared into the darkness of the room. I was so tired, but I couldn't let myself sleep. I heard the sound of the blasters firing, we were shooting at something. I stood from the bed and walked towards the piloting room where Fett was seated.

"Lower your shields, disengage all transponders, prepare for boarding," Fett said. I turned around and saw Mando and Cara getting situated and ready to board their ship. The ship started the rise and was briefly faced with another before we docked on their ship. Turned around the two were no longer in the hall. I could hear blasters firing and a yelp followed by Cara's head popping up from the hole motioning for us to join them. I looked down at Fett he nodded at me. His hand reached up to pat my shoulder, he could tell I was nervous. I was the last person to board the ship, Bo-Katan and Koska were sitting in the piloting ship. Fennec and Cara stood behind them. Mando stood in the back and I took my place beside him. Sitting handcuffed in a chair was who I assume was Dr. Pershing. He looked nervous and overall... sweaty.

"This is Moff Gideon's Imperial light cruiser," Bo Katan began, "In the old days, it would carry a crew of several hundred. Now it operates with a tiny fraction of that."
