In docking area the crew ran maintenance on The Ghost, Ezra was practicing marksmanship with an blaster he had picked up, Rex was near watching the hunter's marksmanship "it's pretty good, just prefer regular bullets." Ezra said putting the blaster down, Rex looked to the blaster then to the handcannon on the man's hip "it still strange to me seeing someone use a slug thrower." The clone said making the hunter groan "it's not a slug, a slug and a bullet is very different." Ezra explained taking a seat leaning back "Ezra your missing Jedi training." Kanan said from behind "oh shank is that now?" The hunter asked looking to the Jedi who nodded "sorry I can't focus fully for some reason." The hunter said pinching the bridge of his nose "As a soldier you're gonna have to learn to prioritize." Rex said Ezra looked to Kanan who looked back to the Clone "well, he's not a soldier. He's a Jedi." Kanan said making the hunter roll his eyes "both of you are wrong, I'm a hunter." He said before sighing "what's that supposed to mean?" Kanan asked with a raised brow "the same thing it's meant the first time I said it I'm nothing more nothing less." Ezra said walking away back inside The Ghost clearly annoyed Sam following behind.

When the hunter entered he noticed Hera, Sabine, and Zeb sitting around listening to a transmission "as we speak, the frozen planet of Rinn is facing energy crisis." Sato said as Rex and Kanan entered "When their supply of fuel cells is gone, the settlements will not be able to power the heaters they need to survive." He finished Sabine leaned back "they'll freeze to death down there." She said before Sam spoke up "Since we're on Garel, we should check out the black market." Sam said Ezra nodded "Bound to be generators or something we can get our hands on." Kanan added as the hunter pinched the bridge of his nose "see what you can find, without delay." Sato said ending the broadcast "gear up, everyone Time to go make friends with the locals." Hera said Ezra scratched the back of his head "you guys go ahead, me and Sam got some work to do on the Radiant." Ezra said walking to exit "hold it Specter- 6." Hera said placing a hand infront of him making him raise a brow "the ion scoring still needs to be cleaned off The Phantom's exhaust ports I asked you twice now." She explained slightly annoyed as Zeb and Rex left "yeah that's right, sorry guess I forgot, I'll get on it." The hunter said sincerely making Hera smile "thanks, Chopper you help him." She said as she turned to leave Kanan looked to the hunter "we'll talk when we get back." Kanan said as he left, Sabine gave the hunter a hug "be safe." Ezra said she chuckled "hey we did more things without you don't worry." Sabine said back leaving the hunter, Chopper, and Sam to do their job.

A little later...

Ezra sat near the exhaust port pinching the bridge of his nose Chopper made some noises "what? it's nothing, I'm just not on my A-game today." The hunter replied Chopper chirped at Ezra "I don't know about that Chopper." he said reaching into the exhaust port cleaning it with his fiberglass towel he kept in the Radiant Chopper chirped again "a distress call? From who?" Sam asked as Ezra looked up to the astromech "this is the Broken Horn. We require assistance." An unknown male said Ezra raised a brow "that's what's his name ship right?" He asked Sam looked to the hunter "Vizago's yes. what are you thinking Ezzy?" His ghost asked he gave a smirk "we need a distraction for today otherwise something else is going to happen." The hunter explained looking at his clothing before looking to Sam who understood the look he was giving quickly swapping his clothing foe his luxe gear his Rebel's cloak changed to a all black look Chopper made a noise as Radiant descended from orbit. It started hovering over the three "no exotics these guys are thieves, only legendaries." The hunter said making his ghost make a noise transmating his weapons away and putting Fatebringer on it's holster, his Murasama under his jacket before Sam disappeared and Chopper and Ezra made their way inside the Radiant.

Taking off they made it to orbit where they saw the ship and got close, when they docked Ezra and Chopper made their way through the large ship "Vizago must be in trouble. Why else wouldn't he answer his comm?" He asked himself before turning to Chopper "Chop listen, I'm feeling something off so, while we are here I will be speaking through Sam ok." The hunter explained the astromech made a chirping in understanding before the hunter walked through a door which closed behind him leaving the droid in the hall he made a grumbling noise before going off leaving the door and hunter on the otherside. The hunter continued down the hall until he bumped into a droid quickly drawing then aiming Fatebringer he aimed it at the droid before noticing there were multiple droids 'they're off.' He thought holstering the handcannon "something is not right." Sam said materializing while Ezra walked past them before entering another doorway the hunter looked around hearing strange music "Vizago? Vizago, is... is that you?" Sam asked as the hunter looked at a man who was laying down he sat up "Uh, not exactly." The man said Ezra kept his hand on Fatebringer and narrowed his eyes under his helmet "well, hello there." The man said pressing a button on his console "allow me to introduce myself I am Hondo Ohnaka. Proud owner of this fine but currently inoperative vessel." Hondo said making the hunter a bit more paranoid "where's Vizago? This is his ship." Sam said as the man made a scoff "so you know Vizago? Well, then we have a mutual friend." He said with a chuckle "Yes, It it was his ship, but we were enjoying a friendly game of Sabacc, and, well, now it is my ship." Hondo explained making Ezra and his ghost look at each other, "Vizago. Bet his ship?" Sam asked in surprise as the two looked back to Hondo "Right after his droids, which are now also mine. Watch. I turn them on." Hondo said pulling out a remote and hitting a button turning them on Ezra turned aiming Fatebringer at the droid that started to move "I turn them off." Hondo said pressing the button again making the droid turn off  "Okay... that could happen." Sam said looking at the hunter who holstered his handcannon "you know about me, now who are you two?" Hondo asked "I am Ghost and this lovable man is Lando Calrissian." Sam lied turning back to the man Ezra gave a two finger salute "Lando! So, at last I meet the semi-famous Lando Calrissian!" Hondo exclaimed leading him forward "a tad more armored than I pictured, and not as talkative as I heard." He continued stopping at the captain's chair "but to be so mysterious and flying to rescue me proves that you must be the scoundrel I have heard of." He finished making the hunter raise a brow under his helmet "yeah, we are pretty good." Sam said hovering over Ezra's shoulder the man chuckled "He's pretty good. Are you looking for a crew? Good news. Hondo is hiring." The man said "we already have a crew. Speaking of where'd our droid go?" Sam asked looking around Hondo scoffed "you lost your droid? I lost my whole crew, thanks to the Empire." He said before sighing "I was once a captain, you know. Oh, the stories I could tell. So many of them true." Hondo continued before the console infront of him started beeping the hunter made his way below the control panel "you want to tell stories? Tell them to the empire while he tries to get the power back on." Sam said as the man moved over pressing a button and clearing his throat "Hello? How can we help you?" Hondo asked through the comm "attention transport. You have breached an imperial checkpoint." The man on the otherside said Hondo looked over to the hunter "hyper space would be good right about now." He said to Ezra who rolled his eyes under his helmet the felt the ship get rocked.
