"Hey, how's it feel? Huh? I mean, c'mon, man, you still get to wear a helmet, right? All right, you know what? I'm takin' this thing off. I can't see anything. I don't know how you people wear those things. And by "you people," I do mean Mandalorians.."
Mayfeld took his helmet off. From up top Fennec was looking through her scope, to see Mayfeld and Mando in the seats.
" Phase one, complete. We're in."
" Copy. Standing by." Says Boba
Mayfeld looked at Mando
" Feels better when it's off."
He smiled at him, but Mando just stared at him. They were on trail as they seen exploded cargo transport.
" Juggernaut Four, you're running hot. Be sure to watch your cargo heat limits and speed."
"Copy that, Three. We hit a couple bumps. Thanks for the heads-up."
Others spoke in the Comms. Mando looked at Mayfeld.
" Don't worry about the rhydonium. As long as you drive steady, you'll get us to the refinery."
Then they came across a tiny village. Mayfeld pulled the lever as a horn sound came out.
" Go, go!"
"Out of the road. Go!"
" Get to safety!"
Yelled the Villagers. Mando and Mayfeld looked at the villagers as they passed by slowly.
"Yeah. Empire, New Republic. It's all the same to these people. Invaders on their land is all we are."
As they left the village Mayfeld continued.
" I'm just sayin', somewhere someone in this galaxy is ruling and others are being ruled. I mean, look at your race. Do you think all those people that died in wars fought by Mandalorians actually had a choice? So how are they any different than the Empire? If you were born on Mandalore, you believe one thing, if you're born on Alderaan, you believe somethin' else. But guess what? Neither one of 'em exist anymore. "
Mayfeld looked at Mando and shrugged his shoulders. Only to get no response.
"Hey, I'm just a realist. I'm a survivor, just like you."
"Let's get one thing straight. You and I are nothing alike."
"I don't know. Seems to me like your rules start to change when you get desperate. I mean, look at ya. You said you couldn't take your helmet off, and now you got a stormtrooper one on, so what's the rule? Is it that you can't take off your Mando helmet, or you can't show your face? 'Cause there is a difference. "
Mayfeld felt that he might've offended Mando.
"Look, I'm just sayin', we're all the same. Everybody's got their lines they don't cross until things get messy. As far as I'm concerned, if you can make it through your day and still sleep at night, you're doin' better than most.
" Control, this is Juggernaut Three. We're comin' up on some route interference. Control, control! We need a new... "
A scream was heard in the comms.
"What was that?" Asked Mayfeld
"Please stand by for reroute." Says the woman in comms.
As Mayfeld was driving an explosion was seen up ahead.
"Juggernaut Four has been destroyed."
" "Destroyed"?"
They both looked at the meter
