"Are you sure we can trust them?" Celeste asks once Mando told her the plan, which she thought was completely ridiculous.
"No." He states simply, while eyeing the familiar floating building from afar.
"And this is a good idea, why?" Celeste asks sassily, while eyeing the Mandoalorian with one eyebrow slightly raised, while waiting for him to get seated into the pilots chair. They had completely been betrayed by Toro not even hours ago, and Mando was already looking into his confusing past.
"I have it handled. Just let me do all the talking." Mando tells her causing her to roll her eyes slightly, before walking back to her own seat.
Once they land their ship into the building safety, Mando puts the child safely away before leading Celeste into his old surroundings.
"Mando. Is that you under that bucket?" A voice asks pulling the twos confusing glance, and towards their direction.
"Ran" Mando states, rather welcoming.
"I didn't really know if I'd ever see you in these parts again, It's good to see you again." Ran informs Mando while putting on a wide smile, before looking behind the man.
"And you brought along a pretty girl along with you." He says almost shocked and maybe even a bit worried. She knew the job that he needed done was going to be hush-hush, so seeing a unfamiliar face probably was unsettling for him.
"This is my assistant, Celeste." Mando introduces the girl to the man, almost ignoring the compliment & the older man's assumption about them being together.
"Ah—Nice to meet you, young lady." Ran says while putting his hand out for a hand shake, which Celeste immediately took.
"Ditto." She says while awkwardly trying to let his hand grip off of hers, since he was trying to linger it as much as possible, which was a bit creepy to her.
"You know I was a little surprised when you reached out to me. You know, 'cause I...I hear things. Like, maybe things between you and the Guild aren't working out." Ran says finally putting his attention back on Mando, which Celeste was thankful for.
"I'll be fine." Mando says almost sounding slightly defensive, even in Celeste's eyes.
"Okay. Well, you know the policy. No questions. And you, you're welcomed back here anytime." Ran says while leading the two further into the building complex.

After Ran was explaining the job to Mando and Celeste, he lead them both to meet their soon to be new crew members.
"Hey, Mayfeld." Ran says trying to get attention of the man with the bald head, who was working on something at his workplace.
"Yeah?" Mayfeld asks while turning around to face his boss, and only to see two more faces, which Celeste knew he didn't seem fond of.
