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

Chapter 63 -- Please, just hold on, only a little longer --

Your time on Savareen was short and pleasant, with everyone but you exploring the town of Hypos. You would have liked to explore, especially since the area gave off good energy through the force. But after being attacked Tatooine by an inquisitor and now slowly reconnecting with your force abilities, you wanted to stay out of sight.

In truth the nightmare you had about Lerona which had shown her to you on a cold planet clinging on for life had filled you with anxiety and you couldn't shake that feeling. After being abruptly woken up from your force-dream, you had let Hunter know about what you had seen. Wrecker and Omega wanted to stay a few more days, but you were adamant to Hunter and Tech about the urgency in going to the Bryx sector. Thus, the Captain made the final call and you were off the planet before breakfast.

It was going to be some time before you made it to the sector and every cycle you did your best to focus on your tasks. You would engage with your work, but still catch your mind drifting off to Lerona's face, the terror you had seen in her eyes and the cold bitter feeling of the wind. She might not even be in the Bryx sector, but Tech had confirmed there was a cold planet called Kijimi located with in that sector that matched your nightmares description. You wanted her to be okay, you wanted her to still be alive.

--we just need to get there in time—you reassured yourself, bringing your mind back to the panel you were fixing up.

With all that had gone on Hunter was doing his best to remain the calm and collected Captain. He was initially glad that Rex had some information pertaining to Jedi, and that the sector was mostly void of Imperial influence. This had seemed like a plan that would be beneficial to the squad in their search for a more permanent home and some good news for their resident Jedi. However, now that you had all visited Tatooine, Savareen, and were speeding away to Kijimi based off a nightmare ... Hunter wasn't as confident this would go well. You were evidently stressed about this, and Hunter couldn't help but worry that you would all arrive on the wrong cold planet, or worse arrive to a dead person. Watching you try to remain calm but feeling how stressed and stirred up you were was beginning to impact his mood. Thus, Hunter did his best to continue planning or assist Omega in her lessons to take his mind off the feelings on board.

Omega could see you were worried, and after you had told everyone what you had seen she had joined your side in wanting to go save Lerona. Omega had continued her lessons and cycle chores, but more often then not she was reassuring or helping you. Omega had quickly picked up from Hunter's posture that you were stressed under the surface and thus she want to be with you at every opportunity to offer support. Omega was a little worried about this mission, but she felt confident that Tech would get you all there in time and thus remained positive about the entire situation.

Wrecker had been the most bummed about leaving Savareen but that was mostly because he didn't want to be floating through space again. Unlike the others, being on a ship was the roughest for Wrecker. Not only was he the largest, but he had the hardest time finding tasks he enjoyed doing. Wrecker was one for physical activities instead of mind games and flying through space in a 'cramped box' did not offer him much engagement beyond the occasional workout using Gonky as a weight. But even with all of this, Wreckers softhearted nature was won over once you explained why you were rushing off back into space, and Hunter had promised some more time on the ground soon.

Out of them all Tech was naturally the most supportive and most pessimistic. Hunter had made the final call about leaving Savareen early, but this was with Tech explaining how important the timing would be and adding to the gravity of the situation. Tech knew nothing about Lerona beyond what little he had gotten from you and the temple information. However, no matter how logistically improbable her survival was Tech knew you cared deeply for your previous students and Tech ... cared deeply for you. He had sighed a couple times as he was running the math for their flight route and the possibility of Lerona's survival on the surface of Kijimi but as soon as you had joined him in the front and thanked him with a couple kisses Tech decided he didn't mind this change of plan all that much.
