"What's your highest bounty?" 

 "There is one job..."

"Underworld?" 

 "Deep pocket."

"Greef Karga said you were the best in the parsec."

"I have a camtono of Beskar waiting for you upon delivery of the asset."

"You are a Mandalorian!"

"The other hunter was able to do. You, you can as well."

"Other hunter?" 

"Yes. A female Mandalorian hunter, she connected with the Blurrg, showed she was no threat, and rode her."

"I will help you." 

"Many have passed through. They seek the same one."

"IG Unit! Stand Down!"

"Don't shoot at me! I'm on your side!"

"You are guild members?" 

"I have a suggestion. We split the reward."

"This is acceptable." 

"Fine."

"The tracking fob is still active." 

"There is a life form present."

(Mando reaches finger towards the Baby)

(The woman places her hand on the pod, feeling the strong pull towards the baby, more than ever.)

Now...

The sun was setting as the insects were buzzing as it was cool enough to come out of their homes. The creatures wandered through the cool shadows, looking for food. But then quickly retreated to their hiding holes.

Mando and the woman were walking through the canyon, the egg pod connected to Mando's arm gauntlet as it followed them. 

The woman kept her hand on her blaster as she could feel the baby looking around the canyon. Then the small creatures peek out of their hiding holes and trail after them.

The baby sunk into his warm clothing as everything was so new to them. He then looks over at the small creatures as they were watching them from afar. Mando slowed in his walking as he heard something. The woman walked closer as she could sense that they were being watched. It became quiet, too quiet as the woman saw the shadows above them were moving and she grips her blaster tighter.

Mando looks over his shoulder then looks over his other shoulder, then up at the cliffs above them, heard hissing in the distance. 

His hand slithers up to his blaster and then he quickly turns as a transdoshan jumps down at him, knocking down Mando's gun. But he looks and saw that the transdoshan had a tracking fob as well.
