After Tech had alerted them of the new arrivals on Bracca, Hunter and Yelena rushed out of the armory and artillery bay and made their way to the bridge. Yelena should've known better, of course, the scrappers told someone and of course, it would've been the Empire. They would make a lot of credits sharing this information with the Empire. The jedi and sergeant arrived on the bridge and Hunter pulled out his macrobinoculars, looking around before his gaze stopped on Crosshair. Yelena taking Omega's binoculars and looking, seeing Crosshair walk out of his ship. There were at least two dozen troopers with him, plus whoever was in the other grey armor like him. "It's Crosshair, all right." Hunter sighed, looking at her and Tech as she passed Omega back her binoculars. This was not good at all, Crosshair was here for them all and who knows what the Empire would do them if he got them.
"He won't be able to detect us. I'm blocking their scanners." Tech informs them, holding up his datapad, Yelena bit the inside of her cheek and crossed her arms. She was worried with Crosshair that might not be enough.
"It won't work for long, we can't stay. We've got to go." Yelena says urgently, Hunter glancing at her and nodding.
"That won't stop him. Come on." Hunter agrees and the four turn and leave the bridge. The longer they stayed here, the less likely they would get off the planet and to safety. They had to be careful. The four rushed through the halls until they caught up with Echo and Wrecker who were carrying the load they'd managed to grab from the armory and artillery bay.
"How many troopers we talking about?" Echo asks them when he notices them.
"Three attack shuttles' worth." Tech answers him.
"We already got what we came for. Let's get to the Marauder." Wrecker pointed out, Yelena nodding and glancing at Wrecker before looking at Hunter.
"He's right, the longer we stay the harder it will be to get off planet. We find a way out and go now." Yelena speaks up and agrees with Wrecker, but she also knew they couldn't just go out the way they came in. They had to be careful since they were on the cruiser already with them now.
"They're already on board the cruiser. We need a covert way out." Hunter tells them, Yelena glancing at him and nodding.
"They'll do a forward-to-aft sweep. We can alternate corridors. Come on." Echo states, before he begins moving and the others followed after him. Yelena hesitates and glances around, something felt off and it wasn't Crosshair being here. She winces and shakes off the small pain in her head before she follows after the others before they could notice she hadn't. Yelena's fingers fidgeted beneath her cloak when they were sneaking down one of the hallways and Hunter could feel an extreme surge of anxiety and worry coming from Yelena, more than he's felt before.
"Talk to me, Tech." Hunter's voice coolly and hushedly spoke up.
"I'm trying to tap into the regs' comms so we can monitor their movements," Tech says while typing away at his datapad, Yelena tensing when she heard a bang in the distance. The woman glancing at Hunter knowing he heard it as well. He quickly signals for them to stop and he flashes his gun and light down a hall to their left.
"Someone's coming." Hunter whispers, they quickly move away and duck in cover in another hall. Yelena pressing herself against the wall next to Hunter when some clone troopers come down the hall they were moving down. No one made a move or sound until the troopers passed them and disappeared down another hall. Hunter gestured them the okay and they moved out of their hiding spot, Tech turning his datapad back on and finally connecting to the comms.
"I don't like this, Hunter. Something's not right." Yelena sighed, Echo frowning with concern at her words and Hunter glancing at her confused, looking for an explanation.
