Ezra sat in his seat across from Kanan. He was poking at his food, not bothering to eat.

Hera, Kanan, Ezra, Sabine, and Loki were all eating lunch while waiting for Zeb and Mardox to arrive.

Zeb and Mardox left to try and find where Cameron and Korbyn were taken to.

Kanan looked at Ezra and said, "You should eat your food instead of playing with it."

He put down his fork and looked away. "Sorry, Kanan. I just can't believe she's gone."

Hera gave him a sympathetic look as she said, "Look, Ezra. We all miss Cameron. We're going to get her back. Both her and Korbyn."

He angrily exclaimed, "But that Sith Lord took her!"

Loki jumped down from the bench he was on and ran out of the room.

Sabine looked where the lothcat had ran. "Loki!"

Hera said, "Let him, Sabine. Ezra probably just startled him."

The young Jedi looked down and somberly mumbled, "Sorry."

Only a few moments later, Loki walked back in with a blanket dragging behind him.

Sabine asked, "What's that Loki?"

He jumped back up on the bench next to Ezra and replied, "It's Cameron's favorite blanket. It smells like her." He sniffed it and continued, "I thought Ezra might like it." Loki pulled the blanket over Ezra.

Ezra pet Loki's head and told him, "Thank you Loki. I guess your not really that bad when your not growling at me."

"But it's funny!" Loki smiled innocently and added, "I guess it was just a natural instinct."

Mardox and Zeb ran in the room as Mardox was shouting, "We found Cameron!"

Zeb added to that, "But there's also some bad news! Turn on the holonet."

They all got out of their seats and ran to the commons room where Sabine turned on the holonews.

An Imperial voice was heard saying, "Lord Vader has finnaly acquired the rebel girl the Empire has been hunting for. In other news, the Imperial fleet will not be leaving Earth so soon. Calling reinforcements, their plans are set in motion. Next move by the Empire: Taking over the planet of Earth."

Ezra shouted, "And what else about Cameron?!"

As if answering Ezra the man on the holocam disappeared, revealing footage of a hooded figure following the Sith Lord to a large white building.

Mardox started pointing at the hologram and exclaimed, "That's Cameron right there!

The man continued speaking, "Lord Vader and also the anonymous 'Galaxy Artist', are currently speaking with the main leader of this world. We'll bring more news at 13:00 hours."

Loki jumped on the hologram as it disappeared and he shouted, "We have to save Cameron!"

Sabine said, "They are staying on Earth for a while. It would give us time to save her."

Kanan put it, "We couldn't. Not yet. We can't just take on the Imperial fleet. There are only nine of us... Well, seven without Cameron and Korbyn. We would need help."

Ezra questioned, "Who do you think would help us fight the Empire?"

"Fulcrum." All eyes averted to Hera. She spoke louder, "Fulcrum might just help us get Cameron back."

Kanan shook his head. "You can contact Fulcrum. He or she trusts you more. We'll wait here for the next update on Cameron."

Hera went contact Fulcrum as the crew waited for the next news report.

(AN- Sorry for the lack of progress. I'm trying to keep my focus here. Sometimes I just need a little inspiration every now and then.)
