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

Chapter 42 -- Whispers of the past--

 After a successful negotiation with the smuggler known as Veraxsis you join Hunter and Tech on a holographic call with Rex. Rex of course has plenty going on and appears to be back aboard his ship the Solleu flying between planets. He is happy to hear that Veraxsis has agreed to transport clones into the outer rim and had already promised 28 trips. Tech also mentions that Veraxsis purchased some of the information collected from the Senate and will possibly be interested in forged chain codes; "I also implied to him that all clones he will be transporting will have their own codes already so I suppose I will need to begin preparing those for you".

"I should have you all negotiate for me more often" Rex smiles "sounds like everything's falling into place".

At the time you are calling Rex he is about to meet back up with the crew on the Remora who have just rescued more clones from a transport ship. There have been rumors spread around about clones being arrested and placed into prison which has Rex more on edge then he would like. Rex also shared that they have reconnected with Senator Riyo Chuchi who has continued to vouch for them within the senate and is supporting a transition point on Coruscant.

"Also" Rex added on right at the end" Senator Chuchi sends her greetings and hopes you are all well. Echo also says hello and hopes you are not having as much fun as him"--Omega giggles and the rest of you chuckle, your mind in particular remembering Senator Chuchi's sweet smile and kind demeanor. --Hope I'll get to see her again soon--.

Hunter dismisses the rest of you while he speaks with Rex about your next moves and Omega pulls you out to the grassy plateau after you've changed. She wants to show you what she and Wrecker had found earlier while you had gone into the city. You felt a little annoyed because you wanted to spend some time with Tech, but he had already begun to work on the chain codes Rex needed so you let your negative feelings go. It had been some time since you had gotten to hangout with only Omega.

The sun is still barely above the horizon and the ocean appears to be giving off a faint purple glow as the light dances over its surface. You had assumed that the force energy you could feel from an ocean would be strong and deep, its vast presence and flowing current echoing the energy of a forest filled with life.

This ocean felt dead.

It was still vast, and gave off the energy from its flowing currents but it wasn't teeming with life and power as you expected. It was sizable, but empty in a way that was challenging to explain. Like it was only a shadow of the potential it could have. You stood for a good while observing it and the other rocks and planets about the beach while Omega settled down next to you.

You were within sight of the ship, on a hill that was a good walk up from the sandy beach below. There was nothing but grass all around you and you settled down next to Omega who sat near the edge of the hill where it was still level. It was a captivating view and you could feel the warm air blowing over from the desert towards the cooler waters.

You had changed out of your armor above your waist and traded out your blacks for one of the short sleeve shirts you had worn at Cids parlor. It was also relatively form fitting, but the V-neck was attractive and the material was comfortable and breathable.

All along the beach you could see other ships parked up on similar hills. They seemed to get fancier and fancier as the landing spots got closer to the main city. You could just barely make out what appeared to be droid guards patrolling around some ships and much smaller mechanic droids rushing about keeping things clean and orderly.

You know you are far enough away not to draw their attention, so you already know there is no harm simply sitting and watching the sun set. Omega starts picking strands of grass from around where you are seated and braiding them together.
