--Building a New life --Tech x Reader Bad Batch

Chapter 37 -- I can't believe it worked--

Before long the green lush surface of Numidian Prime is back in sight and Tech is skillfully landing near a different outpost within the forest trees. You can feel your senses rejoice at being surrounded by towering trees rather than towering buildings. This time you are at a much closer walking distance to the outpost, but Tech claims this is mostly because of the suitable landing location rather than needing to visit the outpost. The plan is to reorganize and set out again within a day, so this landing will be short.

After you land you all gather outside the ships, standing together in a circle. Tech steps forward, datapad in hand and explains what he has gathered from Coruscant. The entire time you were there he had filled his time with sorting through the information you had been collecting and finding buyers. From his calculations and gathered buyers you will have enough finances to purchase the Marauder ten times over which was beyond what you could mentally comprehend. There was no way you had expected to make that much money from your plan.

Wrecker was ecstatic and was hooting and hollering over Techs breakdown of the numbers. "LETS CELEBRATE!" Wrecker cheered and Omega gladly joined in on the energy. Rex, Echo and Hunter gave in to the energy a little bit, and Tech was the only one who didn't seem amused.

"We should celebrate '' Rex explained "but let's get some more serious talk out of the way first".

"Agreed" Tech and Hunter replied in unison and Echo laughed loudly while you stifled yourself.

"Y/N" Hunter began, and you dropped your hand and pretended you had not found their shared response hilarious. "Could you do a perimeter check? Take whoever you want with you".

You nod, and Rex looks to you, as does Tech, but you wink at Omega who sidles over to you. Seeing who you had chosen, Hunter continued his list of assignments.

"Wrecker, and Echo check the supplies on both ships. Tech I'll expect to see you starting to contact your list of buyers and attaining some of those credits you've mentioned. Rex, let's talk about travel. Everyone meet back in an hour". Rex nods, approving Hunter delegations, and the rest of you break off after the two captains start walking away from the group.

Omega is already at your side "We're checking the perimeter?"

"Oh yeah" you grin and release your chest plate, placing it down near a rock. Omega is a little confused but you then crouch down, "climb on" you say tapping your back. Omega steps over and carefully climbs on, the weight being more than you remember. You hook both of your arms under her legs and she wraps her arms around your chest. You are still wearing the skid plate and codpiece which gives her a ledge to sit on, and she wraps her legs far enough around so she is able to hook her ankles in front of you.

The others had mostly gone inside before you had done this but Echo and Wrecker were watching from the Marauders doorway as you stood. You shake a little, letting your remaining armor and clothing adjust to the added weight, and then you walk over to the edge of the clearing. This one was significantly smaller than the one you were previously in. Both the Marauder and the Solleu were actually tucked under branches this time.

"What are you going to do?" Omega asked quietly as she leaned in by your ear.

You just smiled "I'm going to climb, and you're going to hold on".

Echo and Wrecker continued to observe as you walked to the treeline, now catching Rex and Hunters attention. You squatted slightly asking "You holding on?"

"Yeah," Omega replied.

As soon as you had confirmation you jumped and used the force as an extra push. You could feel it flowing through your legs as you pushed off the ground and jumped 10ft into the air landing nimbly on a branch. There was a slight ache in your legs from the push off but you could also feel the rush of excitement going through your system. You wanted to keep going, it had been a while since you had gotten to use the force while climbing.
