"Moff Gideon," Kenna quickly looks up to see a blue hologram of her beloved riddur appear, speaking to Moff Gideon. "You have something I want," She stands up, tears threatening to spill. "You may think you have some idea what you are in possession of, but you do not," He remembered what Gideon said to them back in Nevarro, Kenna thinks with a large smile. "Soon, they will be back with me," Kenna looks down at the bloodied helmet. "They mean more to me than you will ever know," The hologram flickers away. She and Gideon lock eyes and she drops the helmet.

"You're so fucked," She says with a grimace.

The Slave One gives a chase to an Imperial shuttle said to have the doctor inside of it. Boba easily follows, blasting at it as it tries to escape the bounty hunter. Din sits restlessly in the hull, he has the coordinates and it's finally time to get his family back. Boba shoots the shuttle with an ion cannon, causing all power to be lost in the shuttle.

"Lower your shields, disengage all transponders, prepare for boarding," Boba's rich voice says smoothly over his working COMMS. He then pilots underneath the ship before flying above the cockpit of the shuttle, looking down to see the frightened faces. He then attaches to the shuttle and Din is the first to board the imperial ship, blaster in hand. Once making sure no one else was on the ship, he walks to the cockpit to see the doctor and two pilots. The pilot and doctor stand and raise their hands but the co-pilot stands and wraps an arm around the doctor.

"Before you make a mistake, this is Dr. Pershing," He says in an alluring voice.

"We've met," Din says boldly. "Is the kid alive...is she alive?"

"Yes. They're on the cruiser-" He gasps as the co-pilot puts him in a headlock and presses a blaster to his head, not amusing Din at all. Cara comes in confidently, blaster aimed at the pilot.

"Stay back, Dropper," He spits and it causes her to train her blaster on him.

"Easy, pal. Okay?" The pilot says with an accent, looking at his friend who has the doctor in a headlock. "I'm not with him. We can work something out-" But the co-pilot shoots him and the doctor squeals.

"Drop your weapon," Cara says smoothly.

"No. No, you listen to me," He says, barrel presses harder into the doctor's head. "This is a top-tier target of the New Republic. This is a clone engineer. And if they find out that he's dead because of you, you're gonna wish you never left Alderaan," He taunts the last part of his negotiation. He chuckles slightly. "I saw the tear. You wanna know what else I saw?" His lip trembles as he continues to mock her. "I saw your planet destroyed. I was on the Death Star,"

"Which one?" Cara snipes back and the pilot laughs mockingly.

"You think you're funny?" The pilot deepens his voice as he gets more serious. "Do you know how many millions were killed on those bases?"

"Drop your blaster," Cara says with roughness to her voice.

"As the galaxy cheered?" He continues.

"Last chance,"

"Destroying your planet was a small price to pay to rid the galaxy of terrorism-" Cara shoots him in the head and Dr Pershing screams. She calmly walks away and Din watches her walk away, his beskar and spear shining in the blue light. Kenna would be proud, he thought.

Kenna grunts as she is pushed back into her cell, Gideon following her while stormtroopers hold her down. He sighs at her, shaking his head before motioning to troopers behind him. They bring in the child, pale and sick looking. Kenna beams and stands but is kicked back down.
