Crosshair was a prisoner in his own ship. His captors were his own brothers.

Kriff, he wished he knew what was going on.

Tech looked nervously around. Yes, the Jedi committed treason, but surely, surely, only the ones who committed the crime should be punished. He wouldn't tell anyone how he felt, though.

Finally coming to a decision, he walked over to Crosshair. "What happened? Why is Hunter saying you're a traitor? Why do you have a blaster wound?" he asked. Tech had to get to the bottom of this.

"Hunter tried to kill the Padawan. A child, Tech! So what if he was a Jedi, he was still a kid!" Crosshair hissed. "So I took the bullet. Think, Tech! Why would Hunter try to kill a child?"

Tech looked around before answering. "I partially agree. I don't like that Hunter tried to kill the Commander, but I do think that Depa Billaba deserved to die."

"Why? What did the Jedi do to deserve this?"

"They tried to kill the Chancellor."

"Kriff the Chancellor!" Crosshair growled.

Tech looked away from his brother. "I'm sorry, Crosshair. I'll do all I can to keep you from being decommissioned. But I can't make any promises."

"Would Bolt approve of this?"

Tech didn't answer. He just got up and walked out. Crosshair hissed.

It wasn't long before they landed on Kamino, and no doubt Hunter had told the Kaminoans about Crosshair.

Hunter walked in with Wrecker and Echo behind him. Snarling at Crosshair, the Sergeant ordered Wrecker to grab hold of the sniper's arm and drag him up. "This is probably the last time you'll see the ship and us, Cross. You spend the rest of your life in a prison if they don't kill you," Hunter hissed, deep hate in his eyes. "Thanks to you, that Padawan got away."

"Think, Hunter! You shot at a child! Where is the honor in that!" Crosshair protested.

"He is a Jedi. Why did you take that bullet, Cross? You hate Jedi," Hunter growled.

"I do, but Dume was still a kid! I don't want children to be slaughtered! Even if they're Jedi!" Crosshair stood his ground.

Hunter sighed, his arms crossed. "I wish this didn't happen. I wish you had just followed orders. Goodbye, Crosshair. This will be the last time we see each other."

"Watch your back, Hunter. Watch. You. Back. You all should," Crosshair hissed as the regs dragged him away. He didn't want this. He didn't want his brothers to act like this. It hurt him when he saw Tech looked at the ground, fighting the feelings down.

Crosshair let the regs drag him through the halls. He saw regs and Kaminoans like usual, but was surprised when he saw a young girl with blond hair and brown eyes watching him. She ran up and followed Crosshair and the regs.

"Hello! I'm Omega. Why are you chained?" she asked. Before Crosshair could reply, one of the regs growled, "Move along, cadet. Nothing here for you."

"There is something here for me. I would like to talk to him," Omega argued.

The regs, who had stopped, grumbled for a moment before agreeing. "You can talk to him until we say go, understood?"

"Okay!" the girl happily exclaimed. "So, as I said, I'm Omega! And if I'm right, your name is Crosshair."

Crosshair didn't know why, but he started to feel a connection to this girl. It was like he knew her from somewhere.

"You are correct, my name is Crosshair. How do you know that?" the sniper growled.

"Because I was there when you were created. I was always in the shadows, you might say. Nala Se wouldn't let me talk to you," Omega hopped up and down.

"You are Nala Se's pet?"

"I guess." Omega's eyes grew sad. "One day I'm going to leave Kamino and explore the galaxy!"

"Well then, Princess, work hard," Crosshair sighed.

"I do! Nala Se will see it one day and let me leave!"

"Okay, kid. It's time for you to go now," one of the regs gently ordered the girl.

"Okay. See you later, Crosshair!" Omega tried to be cheery, but failed.

"Bye, Princess."

"Quiet!" one of the regs hissed, and continued leading Crosshair to his cell.
