"So what are we gonna do?" Poe asks. "What can we do? We have to go back to the base," Finn suggests. "We don't have enough time to go back to base. We are not going back. If we do that, Chewie died for nothing," Ava says. "Chewie had the dagger," I remind her. "What are we gonna do?" Rey asks.
"It's so true. The inscription is only in my memory now," C-3PO says in the corner. "Hold on!" Ava says in shock, "The inscription that is the dagger is on your memory?!" "Yes Master Ava. But the translation from the forbidden language cannot be retrieved. That will cause a complete redemptive memory wipe lost," C-3PO explains and we all ask in unison, "A complete what?" "It's a dangerous act to do on a witty droid," he adds. "Let's do that!" Finn says as he point on C-3PO.
"I know a black market droidsmith," Poe says. "Black market droidsmith!" the droid exclaims. "But he is on Kijimi," Poe says and Ava furry her brows, "What's on Kijimi?" "I had a bas luck on Kijimi. But if this mission fails, it's all for nothing. All we lost. All we done. All this time," Poe gives us a motivational speech.
"We're all on this together..."

We are now hooded in Kijimi. We sneak past the snowtroopers and make our way to the droidsmith Poe was telling.
A blaster suddenly is put on Poe's head. "Heard that he planned to escape. But he is not stupid enough to come back here," says a girl with a rose gold mask. "Thought you'd be surprised," Poe remarks and I ask, "Who is this?"
"Zorii, this is Ava. Ava, this is -" Poe gets interrupted by the girl, "I can pull this trigger right now." "I see you do worse." "You're a lot less."
"We can talk about this?" Poe offers but Zorii says, "I want to see your brains in the snow." "So you're still mad?"
"Zorii we need your help. We got to crack this droid open fast. We have to find Babu Frik," Poe explains. "Babu. Babu only works for the crew. That's not you anymore," Zorri tell him and Ava asks, "What crew?"
"Oh funny you never mention it," she says as Poe mouths no. "You're friend old job is running spice," she reveals to us.
"You were a spice runner?" Finn asks and Poe replies, "You were stormtrooper." "You were a spice runner?" Rey asks and Poe answers, "You were a scavenger." "You were a spice runner?!" Ava now exclaims and Poe answers, "You were a slave. We can do this all night." "You don't have all night," Zorri reminds him.
"Remember when you were still digging at the hole, you put me and you left to join the Resistance," Zorri refreshen her memories.
"You," Zorii points out Ava, "You're the one they are looking for. Bounty for her might jusr t cover us."
Ava and I ignite our sabers and turn back to back. I kick at Zorri's companion and Ava punches the other's faces. We point our sabers at Zorri. "We could really use your help please," I tell Zorri.
"Not that you both care..."
"But I think you're both okay..."

"I don't know why I agreed to this. I must be malfunctioning. I must be malfunctioning," C-3PO says and I pat his arm.
I walk to Babu Frik and ask, "Babu Frik, can you help us?" Babu says something in his language that I can understand. "Zorii?" Ava asks, "Is this gonna work?"
Zorii and Babu communicates. "He said he has found something in your droid's hidden memory bank. Words. Translated from Sith?" Zorri translates. "Yup," I say and Ava tells her, "That's what we need."
"Who were you hanging out that speaker Sith?" she asks Poe. Poe goes down the stair and say, "Can you make him - Babu can you make him translate it?" Babu and Zorri talks.
"Yes, but it will cause a complete -" C-3PO interrupts her and continues, "a complete memory wipe out." "Wa - wa - wait, we make him translate and he won't remember anything?" Poe questions and Babu says, "Droid. Memory go blah." "Oh!" C-3PO exclaims. "Blah Blah," Babu continues.
"There must be another way," C-3PO asks. "Doesn't R2 back up your memory?" Ava asks and the droid answers, "Oh please! R2's storage units are unreliable."
"Do we have a choice?" I tell C-3PO. "If this mission fails, it was all for nothing. What we done. All this time" droid says as we stand up. C-3PO looks at us.
"What are you doing there 3PO?" Poe asks. "Take one last look sir... At my friends..."
The sky lights up and Zorri says, "Night raids are gonna start soon. I'll keep look out." "I'm coming with you," Poe walks with her. "You still don't trust me?" she asks and Poe returns the question back, "Do ever trust me?"
"Nope."
