Bat stood in the new, reconstructed command center with Fernanda, Four, Chip, Troy, Cadinone, Randmu, and Abo accompanying him. Bat and Fernanda's R4 droids beeped wildly and waddled back and forth. He looks out toward the new, already thriving base.

​"Currently operating at peak efficiency, sir." Randmu says as he and Cadinone looked over the shoulder of an officer at a terminal.

​"Troops and fighters are ready for anything that could be thrown at us, sir." Troy says.

​"The Lobster is fully armed and operational." Abo clicks.

​"We're ready, sir." Chip says.

Fernanda grabs Bat's arm and rests her head on his shoulder as they look out.

​"Your squadron is back, babe." She says smiling.

​"And we have our leader back." Four hisses.

The droids beep wildly and rock back and forth even more and Four lets out a loud roar as everybody in the command center starts laughing and cheering.

​"What's the plan today, sir?" Troy asks.

​"I'm going to find an old friend." He says, smirking.

​"Sir?" Chip asks.

He glances over at Chip and smiles then nods.

​"If you need me, I'll be in my ship." He says and walks toward the door.

His droid beeps and he laughs.

​"Come on buddy." He says and grabs his clone helmet off of the shelf beside the door.

He walks over toward the hangar and nods to the ground crew as he climbs into his personal one-man Y-wing. He sets the helmet behind the seat and grabs his flight helmet sitting on the controls.
