It was the day after the incident in the barracks. Mimix had spent the night being put through numerous mental test by the Jedi council. She limps into the barracks exhausted from the test.

Volta was still awake cleaning his guns, he hadn't slept last night. Spirit was clearly worried about Mimix and the state she was in. Jinx walked over to Mimix to assist her. Spirit walked over as well he felt bad, he felt like he had caused all this to happen to Mimix.

"Hey Mimix. L-look.. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I-I didn't mean for any of that to happens yesterday. For now let's get you to bed ok?" Spirit said.

Mimix looked like she was about to collapse in Jinx and Spirit's arms. Jinx backed up and looked over at Spirit.

"I...I'm t..tired..." Mimix mumbled.

Mimix stared to fall limp and Spirit steadied her.

"Get her in bed!" Jinx snapped.

Spirit guided Mimix to her bed.

"So, What's happened with the Kid?" Asked Skeleton who wasn't really paying attention.

"The kid turned out to be a jedi." Jinx said.

Volta fired his dc17 at a makeshift target he has made in the barracks. Spirit glared at Volta.

"Volta Sir now is not the time the kid needs her rest." Spirit urged.

"Nice...So she can use that force stuff jedi keep talking about..." Skeleton stated.

"Skeleton shut up and let her rest." Spirit hissed.

"Hey, It's not like...I'm being the most loud person here... That blaster isn't all too quiet." Skeleton argued.

Volta rolled his eyes and put his silencer dc17. He fired it off a few more times. Looking at the makeshift target it looked like high command.

"Sir with all due respect, that's not really any better." Spirit said.

Mimix slowly fell asleep, the fatigue catching up to her. Spirit stayed by her as she slept. Wanting to make sure the others didn't bother her. Jinx walked back over to his bunk as Volta kept firing with the silencer on.

"Well, let me know if you need anything from me." Skeleton said starting to mess around with some random hologram projector.

Mimix would shudder from time to time in her sleep. Jinx would look over at Volta getting annoyed that he was still shooting in the barracks.

"Volta! How many times have I said not to shoot in the barracks!" Jinx snipped.

"I'm firing at targets Jinx, it's safe." Volta replied.

"Regardless, stop shooting." Jinx remarked.

"You're gonna wake the kid. She needs her sleep." Spirit hissed.

"Fine." Volta groaned.

Volta set the blaster to the side.

"Thank you sir." Spirit said with a sigh of relief.

Volta simply laid back in his bed. A few minutes passed by before general Sabra walked in.

"General on deck!" Jinx announced as he snapped to attention.

Spirit snapped to attention. Volta immediately shot up and stood at attention. Skeleton also got to attention as well as Cassatopia. Mimix slowly sat up still bleary eyed.

"What brings you to Echo barracks general?" Volta asked.

"I came to check on Mimix." General Sabra replied.
