Tristsuyi Remnant

C o r u s c a n t

"Okay, who the heck came up with our Remnant's name?" Ketsu scowled.

Fresh out of the bacta tank, the bounty hunter's leg felt loads better and she was ready to go. Tristan had explained the new plan to her (and Ketsu liked it a lot, more fun that way) and now there was only one more stop to get to before they could begin their rescue mission.

"Um..." Tristan trailed off. "I did."

"What the stars," Ketsu blanked. 

"I combined all our names together and it sounded legit!" Tristan held his hands up.

Their fake remnant's name had been decided while she was out: Tristsuyi Remnant. It was the stupidest name ever and Ketsu wanted to bang her head against a wall just thinking about it.

"And Sabine was okay with it?" Ketsu held her head in her hands.

"Yeah," Tristan looked defensive. "Its a great name!"

"It sounds like a ship name for the three of us!" Ketsu waved a hand in the air. "And Vyi is like, fifteen, so that's pedophilia."

"Its not a ship name! Its a Remnant name!" Tristan glared her down.

"Stop yelling!" Vyi spoke up suddenly. "Its just a name. It doesn't matter."

Ketsu groaned. He was right, but it was still a dumb name and she didn't want to be a part of it. Tristan looked pleased with himself and she shot him a glare.

"We're touching down on Corsucant," Jai spoke up. The four of them were in Sabine's ship (Sabine and Ahsoka staying back with the Imperial shuttle) and they were headed to Coruscant to pick up Imperial uniforms for the finishing touches. The last thing Ketsu wanted to do was don some old Imperial's recycled suit but she had to for the plan.

"A lot of old uniforms are being reused and made into refugee clothes," Tristan said as Jai landed the ship in a space port. The bright lights of Coruscant made Ketsu fidget, she didn't want to wait in this ship any longer. She wanted to get out and have some fun. "We have the okay to pick up three of them."

"Great. Lets go!" Ketsu was out the ramp as soon as Jai finished parking. Tristan and Vyi followed, Jai close behind.

Since the New Republic had control of Coruscant, they were busy making use of everything the Empire had left behind. The store in question the group was heading for was an Imperial Uniform drop, where any old uniforms would go to be tailored and be put to better use. The walk was short from the space port to the store, crowded near a large, busy shopping district.

Ketsu loved Coruscant. It was always in motion, just how she liked life. She wanted to live here at some point, after her service to the rebellion had ended, in an apartment in the skyscrapers.

"Here we go," Jai stepped into a store and the automatic glass doors swished open. Ketsu, Vyi, and Tristan followed him inside.

There was a lady organizing uniforms on a rack and she looked up. "Oh, hello. Are you Sabine's people?"

"Yep," Jai nodded. "We need three officer class. Not high rankings or anything."

The lady allowed them to browse around and find uniforms that would fit. Vyi was the hardest to get one for because of his small size and in the end they settled on a cadet uniform. Ketsu found one that would fit her slim body and Tristan settled on a decently sized one.

The uniforms were free because of their work with the rebellion, so the group left as soon as they ran them through the store owner. Ketsu was holding her uniform bundle against her chest, her mind already moving to the next task.

"So, we're heading to the prison," she spoke up. The others fell quiet at that as they made their way through the crowded Coruscant streets. "And we might all die because Sabine's plan is crazy."

"If we do our parts we'll be fine," Vyi said but he didn't sound convinced. 

"Why did you even defect?" Ketsu glanced over at him. "Besides the fact that, like, the Empire is super evil."

"You shouldn't pry, Ketsu," Tristan started, but Vyi shook his head.

"No, its okay," with the hand not holding his uniform he messed with the code cylinder hanging off his neck. "After my dad died, there wasn't much of a reason for me to hang around. The Empire's really... toxic towards aliens and halfbreeds."

"So how'd you even end up with them?" Ketsu was curious. "Why didn't they just kick you out?"

"My dad hid me," Vyi's focus on his fidgeting as if he was uncomfortable talking about it. "I worked his office and computers and stuff, that's where I learned everything about tech."

"Alright," Jai cut in, and Ketsu huffed. "We shouldn't be thinking about the past but the future. Vyi's knowledge of Imperial ways is useful no matter the way he learned it."

"Fair enough," Ketsu gave the former cadet an eyebrow raise. "We're all Imperials anyways, right? No hard feelings between defectors."

"Tristsuyi Remnant is going great so far," Tristan sighed to himself as they boarded the ship ramp.
