I was just sitting while holding the comm hoping echo would call.

I heard footsteps and saw crosshair in front of me "You know, staring at your comm won't make Echo contact you any faster."

I sighed "He and Rex lost most of their squad in that attack. All because the empire was after me I have to do something to help them"

"You are by staying away"

"He's right" I turned to see Hunter standing by the ship "we need to know more about why hemlocks after you and what his M-count experiments mean. Until then you have to lay low"

"Hey" wrecker said "incoming transmission from phee"

"Who?" Crosshair asked.

"She's a liberator of ancient wonders." I said as he looks unamused "pirate.
She's a pirate"Then we go in the ship and answer as her hologram comes in
"hey phee"

"Hey y/n " she said.

"What do you got for us?" Hunter asked.

"I've been asking around about this M-count thing ,which hasn't been easy, by the way. Tech's brain was the data bank, not mine. But I came through.
As always."

"And what did you find out?" Hunter asked.

"Word is, certain class one bounty hunters have been retrieving M-count
targets for the Empire."

"Why?" I asked "what's it mean?"

"Don't know. You're better off asking a bounty hunter."

"We have run in a few" hunter said.

Then I thought of one who I didn't think of until now "what about fennec?"

"Who?" Crosshair asked.

"Fennec shand" hunter said. "She was hired by the Kaminoans to abduct y/n."

"She might know something" I said.

"She's dangerous,but it may be our only option."

"I can probably track Fennec down for you.But she's not gonna hand over that information for free."

'Naturally" Crosshair said. Then I looked to see crosshairs hand still shaking.

"I gotta split. I'll get back to you." Phee hangs up.

"Yeah I don't like it" said wrecker "We can't trust Fennec. Not around y/n."

"Agreed." Hunter said "You and I will go alone." He looks at me "This isnt at debate Stay on Pabu, and stay out of trouble. Both of you" he's also referring to Crosshair.

"Fine by me" Crosshair said walking off the ship.

"Y/. " hunter said putting his hand on my shoulder "See if you can convince him to get his hand looked at.Ignoring it won't make the problem go away."

"Agreed" then I get of the ship and walked up to crossshair "Crosshair I can't help but notice your hand is getting worse please get azi to check on it"


Crosshair didn't have a choice when I got him to azi as he scans crosshairs hand.

"How does your hand feel now?" Asked azi.

"The same" cross said holding his still shaking hand.

"Unfortunately, it may never heal
100%."

"There's nothing else you can do?" I asked.

"I have exhausted all medical treatment options. Perhaps the issue is not something physical."

"You think it's in my head?" Crosshair asked.

"If you were to elaborate more on the experimentation you were subjected to, I could determine the cause."

"Forget it" Crosshair said pushing azi out of the way in frustration.

"Crosshair?" I said as he walks away.
Knowing he's frustrated.

Later I walked down and watched crosshair shoot targets and keeps missing then puts down his rifle to hold his hand.

"That was close" I said.

"Close doesn't count. It's either a hit or a miss." He said.

"You're still more capable than most."
He sits down "that's not good enough for a sniper"

I sat beside him "azi might be right Whatever they did to you on Tantiss could've affected you more than you realize."

"No no no it's not in my head."

"Just because there's nothing AZI can do, doesn't mean your hand can't get better." I put my hand on his shoulder
"Maybe you're the one who has to fix it."

"How?"

Think something came in my head "I have an idea But you're gonna have to trust me."

"I'm not gonna like it am I?"

I get up "you don't like anything"

"True"

Later I made him do some meditation as taking deep breaths.

"What's are we doing?" Crosshair asked.

"It's meditation. It'll help you heal. Not just your hand, but your mind too." I told him.

"I doubt that" he said.

He looks at his hand putting it to a fist.
I grabbed his hand and turned it "Now, adjust your position and breathe."

"Where did you learn this?"

"I picked it up from my friend, Gungi, and the other Wookiees on Kashyyyk."

"You've been to Kashyyyk?"

"Yes you missed a lot"

"I know"

"Now close your eyes and focus" I closed my eyes and take deep breath and meditated with crosshair.
