It had been a week after your return from the Sheyasti Syndicate run and your arm was back to normal with only a small mark on your forearm. The guys had started to get restless with no missions in the meantime, and Omega had started to avoid their neverending lesson plan by hiding away in the parlor.
You had broken up two fights in the last three days, both started by Wrecker. The first had been a shove fight between him and Echo over some dispute, probably holochess. The two were not acting aggressive, but their play fighting had almost taken out one of the tables which led to you asking them to take it outside.
The second fight had been Wrecker pushing around Hunter and then bumping into Tech only to have both of them fight him. It was really Hunter doing hand to hand against Wrecker with Tech getting reluctantly roped in by proximity. But there had been a point where Cid came in and yelled at them all for 'disturbing the clientele', and you took the blame which put an end to shove fights inside the parlor.
One night Hunter and Echo dragged you into a knife throwing competition using his vibro-knife out back against a metal scrap plate. Hunter of course won, but Echo was also a good aim and both praised you for only missing once.
Tech also insisted on checking on your arm the first few days back, but once you convinced him that it was healing you had checked and changed the wrappings yourself since then. Your arm was healing, but you also were trying to limit how much staring you sent in Tech's direction.
Omega also kept giggling and reacting to whenever you would sit by Tech, or when he would come up to the bar and read his holopad which he did often. You were worried that she was going to rat you out but Wrecker would usually ask about her giggling and then she would come up with a joke instead. So far your developing crush has continued to grow and remain hidden, although fighting the urge to watch Tech read started to be more challenging than you thought and you caught yourself spacing off in his direction more then once.

It was just over a week now, and you had finished breaking up another fight between Echo and Tech.--It had begun with angry chatter and then the loud clatter of tools, and you had fetched Hunter from Cid's office.
Echo and Tech had been working on a side project of some kind, and Tech had gotten Echo mad by insisting that he 'desired moisture' instead of 'wanting water'. This led Echo to sabotage part of the project, zapping Tech, and the fight broke out. Thankfully Hunter separated the two and you were able to go back to work ... or so you had thought.
Instead, it was shortly after this moment when Cid called you into her office. "I've got to speak with you missy, leave that for T4-38".
You put down the drink you had been pouring without another word and headed to the back, dodging past T4-38 as he zoomed into position to resume serving the customer you had just left.
You made your way into Cid's office and stood in the middle of the room as usual, the scaly Trandoshan closing the door behind you and taking her place at her desk.
"The Empire has started to figure itself out missy, the bounties list has started to get sorted and you're on it".
'What did you find?" You ask, trying to hold back the shock in your voice. It was too soon. You wanted more time. What did they price you out as? Were you listed as a Jedi?
"Escaped convicts from Felucia" Cid said, pulling up a holographic report. "They're working on the details but you're from there from what I've heard.--she looks into your eyes intensely--and if the shoe fits".
You were frightened, upset even, was Cid trying to threaten you? Your mind thought of Omega, the team you had just started to grow fond of and build with. "So what if it does" you reply, a clear look of aggression and defiance in your eyes.
