The Razor Crest enters a space station hangar bay. Once it lands, the ramp opens and Mando and (y/n) walk out and make their way through the hangar. Everyone turns and stares at the two just as a man calls out to them.

"Mando." The voice calls out and the two turn to find an older bearded man. "Is that you under that bucket?" he asked and Mando takes the hand the bearded man offers in greeting. "Ran." Mando greets. "Didn't really know if I'd ever see you in these part again. Good to see you." Ran said then he looks at (y/n). "And I guess you are Manda?" He asked. "Yes, I am." She replied and he offers his hand to her and she shakes it. 

Once that was done, he turns to Mando. "You know, to be honest, I was a little surprised when you reached out to me. You know, cuz I...I hear things. Like, maybe things between you two and the Guild aren't working out." Ran said. "We'll be fine." Mando said. "Hmm okay. Well, you know the policy. No questions. And you, you're welcome back here anytime." Ran said and the three of them walk across the catwalk in the hangar.

"So what's the job?" (y/n) asked Ran. "Yeah, one of our associates ran afoul of some competitors and got himself caught. So I'm putting together a crew to spring him. It's a six person job, I got four. All I need is the ride, and you brought it." Ran explains. "The ship wasn't part of the deal." Mando said. "Well, the Crest is the only reason I let you back in here." Ran said and Mando slowly turns to him.

"What's the look? Is that gratitude?" Ran asked then he lets out laugh. "Uh-huh, I think it is." Ran said then he walks away, laughing. Mando stands for a moment and (y/n) looks over at him then reaches out to take his hand in hers. He looks at her and she gives him a sympathetic look and he squeezes her hand then they follow Ran into a different area as they, reluctantly, remove their hands out of each other's grasp.

"Hey, Mayfeld." Ran calls out and a bald man turns around to him. "Yeah." he said. "This is Mando. The guy I was telling you about. And this is his partner, Manda." Ran introduced. "Mando and I used to do jobs way back when."

"This is the guy?" Mayfeld asked, pointing at Mando. "Yeah, we were all young, trying to make a name for ourselves. Yeah, but running with a Mandalorian, that was...that brought us some reputation." Ran explained. "Oh ya? What did he get out of it?" Mayfeld asked. "I asked him that one time." Ran said then he turns to Mando. "You remember what you said, Mando?" he asked but Mando doesn't respond.
Ran smiles then turns back to Mayfeld. "Target practice." Ran laughs. "Target practice. Man, we did some crazy stuff, didn't we?"

"That was a long time ago." Mando said, flatly. "Well...Well I don't go out anymore. You understand? So uh...Mayfeld, he's gonna run point on this job. If he says it, it's like it's coming from me. You and your partner good with that?" Ran asked. "You tell us." (y/n) said, in a low tone, as she folds her arms across her chest which made Ran laugh once again.

"Well, I see why you keep her around, Mando. Bit of a spark in her." Ran said as Mayfeld turns and walks away. "Anyway, Mayfeld, he's, he's one of the best trigger men I've ever seen. Former Imperial sharpshooter." Ran said. "That's not saying much." Mando said, snidely. "I wasn't a Stormtrooper, wiseass!" Mayfeld spat. "Don't take long, does it?" Ran asked before he laughs again.

"Razor Crest? I can't believe that thing can fly. Looks like a Canto Bight slot machine." Mayfeld complains as they walk back over to the ship, where there was a group of people now standing nearby.

"Alright, the good looking fella there with the horns, that's Burg." Mayfeld introduced as he points at this large creature with red skin and large black horns. Burg drops a huge crate that he was carrying as Mayfeld points at him. "This may surprise you, but he's our muscle." he said. "Really? We had no idea." (Y/n) said, sarcastically, and Mayfeld looks over at her. "Oh, so you're a wiseass too!" He said and (y/n) smirks at him just as Burg comes to inspect the two.
