Foolish One

Cornered

Calista and the rest of Clone Force 99 are sitting in the cockpit, Calista sits in her designated spot next to Tech, trying to find a planet to lay low for a little while. Hunter points to the planet currently being displayed on the holo screen. "Idaflor, that's where we'll go."

Calista listens closely her arms loosely crossed over her chest. Wrecker speaks from behind her. "But Idaflor's not even inhabited."

"Which makes it the perfect place to hide out." Hunter states. Gently placing his hand on the control panel in front of him.

Omega lifts her head off the control panel where she had just been resting. "Hide? But I've been stuck on Kamino my whole life. Can't we just explore?"

Calista smirks directly at Hunter. She loved when Omega spoke up for herself. She wished she could've done the same during her time in The Clone War. Omega was stuck on Kamino her whole life, and now that she's finally free she can't even explore a little. Hunter kneels to get close to Omega's level. "Not right now. We have to wait for things to settle down."

Tech turn his chair to face Hunter, putting his finger in the air at the same time. "Well, we won't be doing either. We don't have enough fuel, and we are also entirely out of rations. Without the Republic to provide us supplies, we'll have to acquire these necessities on our own."

Echo interrupts him. "Well, we got a bigger problem. Comm chatter has our ship's signature on a wanted list."

Tech shrugs. "So we scramble it."

Wrecker puts his hand on Tech's seat. "You can do that?"

Tech turns his chair around to look at him. "Of course I can do it. But I need to land in order to perform those modifications. By my calculations the closest planet is...Pantora."

Calista wisps her head around to look at the group. "Pantora... I've been there before. It was a mission I did with my dad. We were tracking down an old separatist leader. It was my last mission with him... before Kaller."

Calista wiped a tear that fell from her face. Turning away as she did so the group wouldn't see her break down. She truly misses her father and would do anything to see him again. Hunter noticed her turn away from the group. He would have Tech talk to her later, considering how close they are.
———————————————————————
The six of them land at Pantora. Hunter tells them to keep an eye out. Pantora is not the safest place in the galaxy. Hunter split them into groups. Tech and Wrecker stay with the ship, while Hunter, Omega, Calista and Echo look for anything they could need for the ride.

Hunter, Echo, Omega and Calista make their way to the city. Hunter noticed Calista's hand hovering over her concealed lightsabers, Hunter made her hide them. She is still a Jedi which makes her a bigger target. They watched a parade go by with Stormtroopers walking with it. Calista tensed up immediately. Echo held her hand to giver her some sort of comfort. A way to say that she is okay. And that she is safe.

They stopped watching the parade go by. Omega looks puzzled. "What are they celebrating?"

Calista without looking away from the parade speaks so softly Omega almost didn't hear her. "The end of the war."

Echo was still holding Calista's hand. He talked to Omega without letting go. "Chain code post like on Saleucami."

"Things are changing quicker than I thought. Let's get what we came for and get out of here." Hunter puts his hand under his chin.

"But the war is over. Isn't that good?" Omega looks between the three people in front of her. Her eyes stopping on Calista. Who was still looking at the where the Stormtroopers once marched.
