Repairing Beyond Ambition - Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order fanfic *EDITING*

Chapter 12

Darkness. A voice echoed in the pitch black. Prauf's voice. Where was he? Could he find him in the dark? He wanted to call out. He couldn't. Prauf's voice echoed again. Where was it coming from?

Cal gasped, his eyes fluttering open to find Greez standing before him, his presence alarmed the redheaded Jedi.

"I heard you talkin' in your sleep." Greez explained.

All Cal could do was give a weak grunt in reply.

"We're arriving at Bogano, we need you at the lounge."

Greez then began to make an exit from his cabin.

"Weirdo." He grumbled.

Cal watched him leave, he was in a stunned state after being woken up so abruptly. The redhead then rubbed his forehead before sitting up on the edge of the bed to stretch. Once he felt ready, he stood up and began the walk to the lounge. As he was about to pass the cabin Altheeda occupied, he paused, thinking to give her a knock. He raised a slow fist to the door and gave it a timid tap and waited. It only took a few seconds for her to answer the door.

"Morning, I think." She greeted with a shrug.

"Did you manage some sleep?"

"Here and there, did you?"

"Probably the same." He nodded. "We're at Bogano now, so I thought I'd come get you."

"Thanks. Give me one sec."

She darted to the side and picked up her box of tools, shrugging it on her back and exited the cabin with a smile.

"You're supposed to be resting, remember?" He spoke, walking alongside her.

"You know I can't resist the opportunity to fix stuff. Like I said before, I'll be extra careful until it's fully healed." She pouted.

"I'm not going to stop you." He reassured, smiling at her pout. "I'm wise enough not to."

She gave an airy laugh as they entered the lounge. Cere and Greez were waiting for them both and they all greeted one another with brief smiles.

"I trust you're both well rested?"

They both nodded and Cere gestured to Cal.

"Cal, I have a task for you. Come with me."

"I'll see you later." He spoke, discreetly brushing his fingertips against her lower arm.

"Good luck." She smiled as she watched him leave with Cere.

It was just Greez and Altheeda left on board. They were silent for a moment until she cleared her throat awkwardly.

"What would you like me to do today?"

"I'm gonna give you a simple job since I gotta be nice to you and ya ankle."

She gave him a nod.

"You can do what you said yesterday and do the rewire in the corridor panel."

"Got it."

Cere strolled back onto the ship without Cal. She put her hands on her hips as she addressed Altheeda.

"I've sent him off to on a quest, he should be back by the end of the day. Have you figured out what you're doing?"

"Yeah, Greez has given me a job."

"Good." She flashed a smile. "When you have a moment, I'd like you to come with me to help gather some food."

"I can do that. I'll let you know when I'm ready."

With that, she got to work with no delay, making her way to the panel she had previously acquainted herself with. It didn't take her long at all with the experience she had gathered, although it was disassembling things, she figured all she had to do was reverse that process and it would become the process of fixing things. She found it fascinating, she even made an effort throughout the years to learn outside of what was expected from her in the Scrapper's Guild. She never knew that one day it would all come in handy.
