Star Wars the bad batch lovestruck

While everyone else was getting pabu rebuilt I was practicing my flying with techs help he looks like he's frightened by my flying but I just want to have a bit a fun.

"Up! Up! Up, y/n! Pull up!" He panics.

"Copy that" I said pulling the ship up I looked at tech who signed in relief as I laugh "I'm getting better right? The collision alarms haven't gone off once."

"Because it shorted out during you last lesson" he said. "But thanks to my excellent instruction,and ability to think clearly in stressful situations, you are indeed improving."

"So what's next?"

He sighs "execute a sharp swing back to port with zero thruster pull"

My eyes lit up "the tech turn really?"

"Not that is not what it is call but i rather like it. I suggest you proceed before you come to my sense"

Before he continues I went to do the tech turn very sharp as possible. "How's that"

"Much better" he said fixing his goggles before we heard an alarm "incoming vessel on approach.

I gasped knowing it echo coming "it's him" I pressed the comlink "havoc 4 this is havoc 5 do you copy"

"Affirmative havoc 5 I see you've been keeping up with your training"echo said on the comm.

"As promised" I said.

"Good. Race you to the landing zone?"

"I do not think that is a sound idea" tech said .

"You're on" i said moving the ship to catch up with echos.

Once we landed I waved to echo before running up  to him and hugged him as he hugged back "I've missed you"

"It hasn't been that long" he said letting go of me.

"Feel like it has." I said before tech walks up to us.

"You mentioned needing some assistance with data cryption" tech said.

Echo picks up a rod and gives it to tech "this is what's left In the files I recovered from an imperial shuttle  it was transporting clone prisoners, and we need to know where and why."

Tech shows us screenings of something. "The imperial transport echo hijacked as assigned to the advanced science division"

"Never heard of it" hunter said. Crossing his arms.

"That is because it is a clandestine operation there are no records on its location or its purpose" tech explains "all I could find on it was a cheif scientific in charge dr Royce hemlock an officer expelled from the republic science corps due to his unauthorized and unorthodox experiments"

"Why we're they sending prisoners to him?" I asked.

"I do not know but it gets worse previous transfer record recovers from the ships logs list other clones prisoners detained by the advanced science division and Crosshair is one of them"

"You mean crosshair turned on the empire?"wrecker asked

"How sure are you about this?" Hunter asked in shock when he mentions crosshair.

"Very" tech answers. "After discovering his clone number on his transfer register. I check our old comm channels and found a recent distress message he sent sent from crosshairs old code."

"What did it say?" I asked.

"Plan 88 the seeker" he said "we are being targeted I believe he's warning us"

"Or it's a trap like he's set for us before" hunter said doubting.

"How do we find out?" Wrecker asked.

"How do you think?" I asked. "I have an idea"
