Calista is leaning against a rock watching Wrecker teach Omega how to defuse bombs. She finds it quite fascinating how much Wrecker knows about explosives.
"And that's how you disassemble a thermal explosive. There's tons of live ordnance buried in this shipyard. if you trip one, you need to know how to disable it." Wrecker explains.
Omega shrugs. "Seems simple enough."
Wrecker shakes his head. "Well, if you're so sure, here. Disarm it."
Wrecker hands Omega the cutting tool. "Me? But I only watched you once-"
Wrecker holds the button to set off the explosive. "Ten seconds till we're goners."
Wrecker starts to countdown as Omega starts to panic. Calista's eyes go wide. "Wrecker....she knows what she's doing right....?"
Omega cuts the wrong wire the explosive starts beeping. Calista curses under her breath grabbing Omega placing her body over hers behind a rock. She waits for an explosion to happen...nothing goes off.
Wrecker laughs. "Gotcha."
Calista lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding, she punches Wrecker playfully. "Not funny Wrecker!"
Omega rolls her eyes. "Why didn't it explode?"
Calista sighs. "Because it's a smoke bomb."
Wrecker crosses his arms over his chest. "You think I'd let you train with a live explosive? I'm not crazy. You should've seen your faces"
Calista, Wrecker, and Omega laugh before they hear Echo's voice. "Wrecker, Omega, Calista, pack it in. Hunter wants us back at the Jedi cruiser."
Echo jumps down from the ledge taking off his helmet in the process. "How'd the test go?"
Omega looks down. "I don't want to talk about it."
Calista smiles and stands next to Echo. "We freaked out because we thought it was a real explosive but it was actually a smoke bomb."
Echo shakes his head. "You thought it was real? Wrecker isn't that crazy."
They start to walk to the Jedi cruiser, Echo and Calista standing next to each other, Omega holding Calista's hand, Wrecker has his hand on Omega's shoulder. Suddenly Calista feels a disturbance in the Force.
Calista doesn't look up. She speaks in a low tone continuing to look in front of her. "You all see what I see..."
Echo and Wrecker nod in agreement. Omega whispers. "How many?"
Calista squeezes Omega's hand tighter. "At least three. Stay casual."
Echo looks at Wrecker and Calista. "You ready?"
They both nod. Calista pulls Omega closer to her. Echo and Wrecker put their helmets on all four of them start running Calista's hand hovering over her lightsaber. Wrecker and Echo pull out their blasters. Echo yells out stop before stunning one of the scrappers. As one of the scrappers tries to fly away Wrecker grabs the end of the scrapers hoverboard as he starts to fly away with the scrapper. "Ive got this under control"
Echo speaks into his comm. "Hunter, Tech. We were spotted by scrappers."
Calista brings her comm on her wrist to her face. "Wrecker's got it. He says he has it under control."
She hears Tech's voice from her comm. "That's not comforting."
Echo tells the girls to stay where they are. Calista watches as he kneels on the top of scraps before stunning the scrapper. Calista and Omega run over to Wrecker who fell off the scrappers hover board.
