A small pile of ungraded work lays in front of you. You tap your pen rhythmically on the hard metal of the desk. You love working with the kids but you've got to admit it is beyond boring sometimes. A knock sounds from the door frame, causing you to look up from your work. You're confused as to why anyone would need to contact you on your day off but your confusion is cleared up as soon as you see Cara at the door way.
You smile. "What are you doing here?" You ask. "Well, someone decided to drop in," she says. A man steps into the room from behind her. "Y/n," Mando says. You sigh. "You really cannot catch a break can you. What happened this time?" You say. "She's happy you're here," Cara says. "Not so happy about what usually follows your arrival," you stand up as you push your work into a pile before putting it away.
You sigh. "You know I have yet to see you visit without the intention of getting our help with a mission," you say with a smile. Mando sighs at your criticism. "It's nice to see you too y/n," he says. "So.... What is it?" You ask. "What?" Mando questions. "What do you need help with?" You ask. "They took the kid" he starts. Your stomach drops. "Someone tell 3-PO I might be gone for a few days," you say, rushing out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two people look at you as you board Mandos ship. The shorter of the two is wearing an orange and black getup. Her hair is in one long braid in the back of her head. The other seems to be wearing the same armor as Mando, only quite a bit less shiny and new. You make your way over to where they sit. "Hey," you say, offering your hand for the girl to shake. "Y/n," you say, introducing yourself to her. She looks at you a little annoyed. Or just sad... you can't quite tell which one. "Fennec Shand," she says, leaving your hand untouched.
You drop your extended hand to your side awkwardly. "Who's the Mandalorian?" You ask. The Mandalorian rises out of his seat. "Boba Fett. I expect you'll refer to me directly in the future," he says sternly. He returns to his spot. You nod as you turn around. You widen your eyes, shooting Cara a look. Cara nudges you a little. "Don't be rude," she whispers. "Im not!" you murmur defensively. "Mmhm. Swear to not get all smart with them?" she asks. "Can't make any promises babe," you say. She smiles
Your bickering is cut short as mando walks in. Everyone's quite. You speak up, breaking the silence. "So... do we have a plan to get the kid back? Or are we just winging it... cause I'm fine with either but I think it might be easier to plan ahead if we're doing this as like a group thing," you say, clasping your hands as you speak. "I have a plan. First things first we've got to go spring a guy from prison," mando says.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You watch from the ship as Cara walks with a man. He has a beard but no hair up top. He seems to be talking a lot. "He seems like a handful," you tell mando. "You don't even know," he says. "I'm gonna go meet them out there," you say. You walk out of the ship towards Cara and the man. Fennec and Boba follow loosely behind you. "I assume everything went smoothly?" You ask, walking towards Cara.
"I mean I'd appreciate being told where you're taking me but other than that I'm fine thanks," the man says. "Not you," you say, turning to him. He tenses up for a second as Boba walks out. "Oh, you know for a second I thought you were this other guy," he says, smirking. You raise your eyebrows as Mando walks off of the ship. The smile fades off his face as he sees Mando. "Mayfield," Mando says. "Hey... Mando... long time," Mayfield says with a sigh.
"So what? You came here to kill me?" He asks. "All you need to know is I bent a lot of rules to bring you along," Cara says. "Why am I so lucky?" Mayfield asks. "Because you're imperial," Cara answers. "Hey that was a long time ago, all right?" he says defensively. "But you still know your imperial clearances and protocols, don't you?" Mando says. Cara glares at Mayfield before walking back on to the ship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The five of you sit quietly in the ship. You've been staring at the floor for the past few minutes. "We need the coordinates to Moff Gideon's Cruiser," mando says. "Moff Gideon? Yeah forget it. Just take me back to the scrap yard. Im not doing that," Mayfield says with a scoff. "...they have his kid," you say. "The little green guy?" Mayfield asks. "Yeah. The little green guy," Cara says. "So... I help you guys get him back, you guys let me go?" Mayfield asks.
"That's not how this works," Cara says. "Well then whats in it for me?" Mayfield says. "You get a better view," you scoff. He pauses for a second. "All right, but here's the thing. I can't get those coordinates unless I have access to an internal imperial terminal. I believe there's one on Morak," he says. "Morak? There's nothing on Morak," Mando says.
"It's a secret imperial mining hub okay? If you can get me in there, I can get you the coordinates," mayfield says. Fennec leans forward, an untrusting look on her face. Mando hesitates. You look at him. "Fett, punch in the coordinates to Morak," he says into a little communicator. "Copy that," Boba says.

I think this might be the longest fic I've ever written. I'm honestly loosing interest which sucks because I've been writing this for over half a year now. I'm hoping to finish this up quickly but also I really want to take my time and not rush a bad ending on y'all. Idk. I'll figure it out. Oh also some guy I used to go to school with invited me to a little fancy party thing and there were tiny individual bottles of Tabasco so I took one bc I thought it was cute. I'll try to find a pic of it lmao.
