You're fiddling with a wire when you suddenly stop, "Must you breathe so hard?" You question directed to your companion behind you.

"I'm nervous," he simply responds.

"You're nervous?! I'm the one hacking into this thing!" you gesture to the weapons vault in front of you.

"I'm nervous for you!"

You sigh and look over your shoulder, "Qimir, take three big steps back."

He holds his hands up in surrender, taking steps away from you. You murmur a "thanks" and proceed to continue working on the wires.

Eventually, the vault light goes green and the doors slide open. You immediately start grabbing crates with various blasters, bombs, ammo, etc..

Qimir stumbles a bit with the weight of the crates, but he manages, "Did your client say how much they wanted us to take?" He starts bringing them towards the back door of the bar.

You shake your head, "Nope! As far as I know, they have issues with the Twi'lek gang. As long as the Twi'leks are losing something, my client is winning."

"Makes sense, I guess," Qimir says as he heads to the freighter outside to start loading up the weapons.

You take a look at your chronos on your wrist, a timer telling you that the minutes are almost up.

"Qi, we gotta hurry!" It's been twenty minutes since all of the Twi'leks had fallen unconscious due to you slipping a sleeping concoction into their drinks.

You help Qimir carry crates onto the freighter, somewhat carelessly tossing them into the cargo because there was absolutely no time to organize.

The two of you work in perfect sync, grabbing as much as you can, piling it in the freighter.

"HEY!" a twi'lek stands outside the back door, causing you and Qimir to freeze.

You hand Qimir one more crate and start pushing him into the ship, "Go! Go!" Blaster shots start going off as the ramp starts raising.

Qimir trips over crates as you head to the cockpit, starting up the ship.

"More are coming!" He calls out as he joins you.

"We're fine," the ship raises into the air and you bolt out of there, blaster shots still hitting the ship but do little to no damage.

Qimir lets out a breath of relief as he leans against the wall, "That was a close one."

You put the ship in autopilot and spin in the chair to face him, "You good?"

He nods, giving you a thumbs up, "I'm good."

You chuckle and stand, "C'mon, let's make contact with the client so we can get a rendezvous point."

Selleck, the Rodian who employed you for this job, gets a good look at the haul you brought back. He nods, speaking to his Rodian henchmen in various hoot-like noises. He then turns back to you and speaks basic, with a hint of a lisp, "You did well. You said this was half their vault's contents?"

You nod, "Although, we prioritized getting the bigger items since that would hurt them the most."

"Good thinking. We'll pay you the remaining half of the credits," Selleck nods to the Rodian on his left and, a sack of credits being tossed your way.

You take a quick look inside, it looking to be the amount of credits, "Pleasure doing business with you."

"And you as well," Selleck turns to head back to his ship, the remaining Rodians loading up the haul.

You and Qimir proceed to your own ship. You hand Qimir the bag of credits, "Your half, as promised."

"Thanks," Qimir says with an eager smirk. He tosses the bag in his hand, "We make a great team."

You cross your arms over your chest, cock a brow at him, "That so?"

"Yeah. We work well together."

"Aside from when you're breathing down my neck while I slice into the vault, sure. I guess we did pretty decently."

"Why don't I stay with you?" he proposes.

Your brows shoot up in surprise, "Excuse me?"

He shrugs, "I'm not gonna lie, my time with the Hutts has gotten...boring. But going on this job with you, it broad some fun back into my life! So whaddaya say? We team up, get jobs done, split the pay!"

You couldn't deny the fact that it was nice to have someone else around with you on a job. You'd been flying solo for a majority of your time as a thief and slicer. You also liked Qimir. He was cool, you and he always shared some good conversations. He can hold on his own for the most part.

You shrug, "Sure. Why not?"

Qimir fists bumps into the air, "Yes! You won't regret this, Y/N. I promise!"

"I better not," you give him a playful nudge before heading to the cockpit, ready to head back to Batuu to enjoy the spoils of your labor.
