The Rebels were flying with Phoenix squad, in the hopes of delivering cargo that they stole from the Empire. Mako sat in the head turret, firing at the Tie-fighters as Leo was in the Phantom, firing back as well. "Hurry up guys, these Ties are getting aggressive." Mako calls out, Leto growls at the Tie, trying to jump at them, but hits the glass instead "You're telling me!" Leo calls out as well, firing and hits one of the Ties, only to have two more takes its place. "Seriously, these things re-spawn on-site with two more to hit out!" he snaps taking his anger out on the Ties.
Hera then turns the ship over onto it's side, next to the Rebel ship. "Hurry up, Zeb!" Hera calls out as Zeb navigates the cargo onto the Rebel ship ramp. "Come on, come on!" Zeb grumbles as he, the Bay door was open on the Rebel courser as Zeb carefully places cargo on the ramp. "Steady," he mutters as the cargo slowly moves onto the ramp, then the cargo was secured onto the platform. "Cargo transfer complete." Zeb said over the comms and Hera pulls away from the Rebel ship. "Thanks Phoenix Squadron." the Rebels said and the ship jumps into Hyperspace. "Transports clear, let's get out of here." Hera said over the comms "Alright, everyone fall back, jump to Hyperspace." Mako said over the comms as she fires at the Ties.
The rebel fighters jump to hyperspace. But one of them was smoking. "Phoenix Leader, my hyperdrive is damaged, I'm preparing to dock," Phoenix informs the Ghost. "Make it quick, Phoenix 2." Hera informs her, "I'll cover you Phoenix 2, you just dock on that ship," Mako informs her as she fires at the Ties. "Spector 4, give her back up," Hera informs Leo. "Don't have to tell me twice." Leo states and they fired at the Ties.
Phoenix 2 flew closer and closer to the dock as a Tie aims at her, "Oh no you don't." Mako mutters and fires at the Tie, taking it out. "Got one!" she calls out and Leo fires at the other Tie. "Whoo! All clear, you're saving to dock." Leo shouts and Phoenix 2 was secured onto the dock. "I'm locked in." she informs them, "Let's get out of here!" Hera states and the last of the Rebels jump into hyperspace, leaving the Empire behind. Hera exhales with relief as Mako and Leo walk into the cockpit. "That was cutting a little too close." Mako states as she sat down, Leto jumps up and chirps at her, she smiles down at him as Leo rubs the back of his neck. "You're telling me, Hera. We're running low on fighters," he states as he sat down as well.
She looks at him and nods. "I know," she states and connected Sato informing him of the situation the Rebels were facing. Then thought the conversation "At best our squadron is at half strength, we're not just losing strength, we're losing pilots faster than we can replace them. Mako and Leo are doing the best they can to keep them safe, but it won't be enough." Hera informs him as Mako stood up and places her hand on her shoulder. "Until we can find a base, we need a place to land our fighters." Kadan informs him as Leo stood up and leans against his chair, "What we need is one of those carrier ships." he states and Sato nods at him, "Vander is right, we can solve two problems at once." Sato states and everyone looks at him. "A rebel cell has reported an Imperial carrier over their world, if we can steal that ship, we can use it to house all our fighters," Sato informs them.
Mako exchanged looks with Leo, "But we're not going to like where it is." she states, he just looks at her, "This cell is located in the Ryloth system." he informs them, Leo gasp and looks at Hera. "Ryloth?" Hera asks then she looks away "I know the cell you're talking about, I'll connect them." Hera states and ended the call. Mako moves away as Hera stood up. "Hera, are you sure?" Leo asks her, she just smiles at him a little and walks to the doors. "You're actually going to talk to him?" Kadan asks her, she stops and looks over her shoulder at him, "I don't think we have much choice. We need that carrier." she informs him. "Are you sure you want to do this alone?" Mako asks as she walks up to her, "Leo and I can go with you." she offers, Leo nodding at her as he walks up next to her.
