Star Wars: The Jedi and Mandalorian

Chapter 9 - The Faunus

Previously on the Jedi and the Mandalorian...

"How could you all act careless about this? These people are out there fighting. Fighting a battle that we should be fighting ourselves! The White Fang's raids have been decreasing, and dust shipments have halted."

"Is that-"

"The symbol of the Separatist Alliance?" Ezra asked, cutting her off

"That's the head of a Separatist Super Tactical Droid." Sabine said as she walked up to it

"Wait..." Ezra muttered, "Questionable business practices...Sabine this is what the SDC has been doing!"

"I'm Eli Muskis. I was a computer technician, analyst, and programmer, before the SDC took me."

"What happened?" Ezra asked curiously

"I was approached by the SDC with the offer to work on a secret project in conjunction with the Atlas Military. I knew signing on would mean I would have to leave my family, so I refused. So they took me by force."

"Is it just you?" Sabine then questioned

"Just me." Eli continued, "There are several others that are programmers and hackers. Mainly from Vale and Atlas. Though I'm the only one with the knowledge of the project."

"I'd rather not say. The topic is painful for me. But it does involve family."

An Atlesian Manta bearing the colors and symbol of the Schnee Dust Company landed on a docking pad just outside an SDC facility in eastern Sanus. The ship was carrying several more security personnel and faunus workers.

A security guard then approached the faunus, weapon in hand.

"Alright! Everybody move out! Have your IDs ready for inspection!"

As the Faunus slowly entered the complex, another soldier was conversing on his scroll.

"The last group of Faunus have arrived Mr. Schnee." he stated

"Good." Jacques Schnee replied from the other end of the call, "Have the animals escorted to the dust mines at once. Separate these animals from the tech ones though, they'll be sent to the military complex."

"Roger that." the soldier said firmly, "Sir, if I may ask. What's with the extra security?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Jacques muttered, "For protection, to keep my property safe."

"Surely with what we have so far, we'd be fine." the soldier stated, "That is, unless you're referring to protection from the White Fang."

Jacques snorted, "Not just those animals. But those rebels too! They blew up one of my trains! And halted nearly all dust exports to Vale! But nothing to fear! I have secured a deal with General Ironwood that'll protect my interests!"

"Roger that, oh and sir?"

"Yes?" Jacques asked

"I heard about your missing daughter." the soldier said, "I'm sorry to hear about the news."
