While Celeste was waiting on Mando to return back, Celeste had been eavesdropping on the droid from above. There wasn't much going on until she heard him messing with the hologram from earlier, which was from the leader of the bounty hunters.

"Interesting." The droid hums to himself, causing Celeste to squint her eyes shut in frustration. How many times would people do them wrong, just for some money or fame?

"Zero, we got Qin." She hears Mayfelds voice say through the droids radio.

"I found some information about the Mandalorian from the Bounty Hunters Guild." Zero informs them back, which made Celeste slowly climb up the stairs, and peak her head into the pilots room.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just get us off this ship." Mayfeld says through the radio, clearly not up for any side conversation, and wanting to get out of there.

"You have ten minutes remaining." Zero informs them, while Celeste slowly levels herself into the room with the droid.

"Shit, okay—Don't let that bitch find out we locked her boy toy, up either." Celeste hears Mayfeld says to Zero, which only makes Celeste more irritated.

"On it, sir." Zero says while Celeste pulls her blaster behind his head, causing her to smirk.

"Too late, bug eyes." Celeste comments before blowing the droids head off, and watch his robotic body slump onto Mando's chair.

She could then hear Mayfeld yelling through the radio along with the others, clearly panicking.
"Sorry, but Zero can't answer right now...because he's dead." Celeste says through the radio with a smirk, only to be sweared aggressively out by Xi, before the radios completely cut off.

Celeste then quickly climbs down the ship and notices the little one out of his room, which made her sigh.

"I told you these were the bad guys." Celeste says while placing the child back onto the bed. The child then stares up at her head, noticing her little injury.

Just as he tries to fix her wound with his powers, she quickly grabs his little paw and stops him. But as she does so, she instantly feels weird, almost as her brain was pulling. She could see multiple flashes of what looked like the future with the little one, along with her swarmed in a room of fire, and then seeing herself looking at Mando taking off his helmet in front of her. But before she could look at him, she quickly letting go of the child's paw, stoping the pictures & pulling sensation on her brain. The little one then stares up at the frightened girl, and immediately  squeals in excitement.

"What the—" She starts off only to stop, once hearing something from below. This then caused her to walk over to the hole, and look down. Once noticing it someone blue trying to climb up the ladder, her heart drops. Thinking it was Xi'an, she quickly jumps down to swiftly kick the person off the ladder, and onto the ground.

While standing over and pointing her blaster directly toward who she thought was Xi, she furrows her eyebrows in bewilderment.

"Did you get punched so hard in your face that you turned into an actual man?" Celeste ask with a bit of distaste in her mouth, while eyeing the Twi under her boot.

"Oh, you must be Mando's little sidepiece." The man spoke causing her to put her boot onto his neck, and lean down to face the man.

"Where is he?" She sternly asks the man with dark eyes, almost as if she were going to kill him right there.

"Right here." A familiar voice says causing her head to snap her head up to see her boss, which was defiantly a relief.

"Qin." Mando says while walking carefully towards the two, which made the Twi growl.

"You killed the others." Qin says almost with disappointment, causing Celeste to move her boot away from his neck so he could talk properly.

"The got what they deserved." Mando tells the man beneath his assistances boot, which was almost entertaining for Mando. He's never seen Celeste take anyone down before, and have the upper hand.

Once hearing the man growl in anger, once again, he then began to try to move away from her foot. But this only made her angrier, and push him forcefully back down again.

"You kill me, you don't get your money." Qin says to the girl, who then stops putting pressure on his neck with her heavy boot.

"Whatever Ran promised, I'll make sure you get it. And more." Qin continues on, causing Mando to toss Celeste his handcuffs.

After Mando lands his ship onto the hanger of the building, Celeste opens the door revealing Ran patiently waiting standing outside. Before Qin slowly makes his way down the ramp and towards his friend, Mando slips in a tracker into his pocket. This caused the girl to look at the man in confusion while the two in front of them go into fits of laughter, before hugging.

"Where are the others?" Ran asks clearly surprised no one else was around, which made Celeste force a  smile his way.

"No questions asked, that's the policy, right?" She says while standing beside Mando, causing the older man to eye the girl suspiciously.

"Yeah. That is the policy." He says, still trying to put on his good guy act, which Celeste knew already all so well. She also knew that he seemed tensed, which meant he was really pissed, which Mando noticed as well...

"I did the job." Mando simply states, clearly bringing up how he just wanted his earnings.

"Yeah, you did." Ran says while reaching into his jacket to grab the pouch of money, and hand it towards Mando.

"Just like the good old' days." Mando says as he takes ahold of his gifted credits, almost amused with how everything turned out.

"Yeah, just like the good all days." Ran says clearly having the hardest time showing off any sort of joy, which the two enjoyed.

This the allowed the two to then turn around, walk up that ramp, and enter the ship together. Celeste was practically gleaming as she took her seat, while Mando walked to his own seat.

Just as they flew off in the distance, some of the Rebel ships starts showing up, catching Celeste's eye.
"Wha—The tracker." She says once realizing, which she could of swore made the Mandalorian smile under his helmet.

"I told you, I got it handled." Mando comments which made Celeste playfully roll her eyes at her boss, before smiling at his slight wittiness.
