Silver and Cas had been back on base for about a week now, Casedrion was growing fond of the base, he was staying in a cabin Next to Silver. Just like on the Star Destroyer, he followed Silver around everywhere she went on the base. Their schedules mirrored each other, they would wake up thirty minutes before the base would rise with the sun at 0800. They would get ready in their own rooms then plan to meet for breakfast with Violet, Syala, and Jasper for 0800. After their breakfast Syala and Violet would leave for training in the depths of Yavin 4’s woods, Jasper would part to go man the landing bays from the overhead tower as Casedrion and Silver would slowly work their way over to the Command Center. There, they would work on finding new places for bases on Yavin, salvage from the old Rebellion base that was located only seven clicks to the south, or work on dreaded paperwork that no one else wanted to do.

Half way through the day, Violet would come in with her small droid at her hip after Syala had trained for the day and was changing into clean clothes in her quarters. Today, Violet came in with her head buried in her datapad she had painted years back and talking quietly to her droid. Silver smiled at the sight of Violet as she walked up to her with her hands folded behind her back, “ General, today has been slower than usual, but it’s still its chaotic self at times.” Silver informed her as Violet looked up, stopping in her tracks, “ Ah there you are, i've been looking for you,” she started as Sliver looked at her with an unsure glance, “Im getting nervous…” Silver sated with a nervous laugh as Cas finished the last of his paperwork and turned it into the bin and moved to stand next to Silver.

Violet laughed slightly, “There's nothing to worry about on this intel, I'm sending you and Casedrion to Lothal to pick up some intel on some ally planets that may be useful. I would go, but I have to stay here and help train Syala and run the base, could yall do that?” She asked in her southern accent as she kept eye contact with the pair in front of her. Cas looked at her with a questioning look under his helmet, “Isn't Lothal a backwater planet, like Jakku or Tatooine?” Casedrion asked as Silver looked at him, “ Yes, the planet is a backwater planet, but unlike Jakku or Tatooine, this backwater planet actually has water.” Silver responded sarcastically as Casedrion rolled his eyes in response, clearly not visible to the two force wielders but felt through the force making them both laugh lightly. “She is correct, while there you'll make contact with a boy that is called by Spectre -7, he’ll bring you to his ship and give you codes. The trip should take you 5 days time, so don't rush.” Violet said clicking a few buttons on her pad, “Sounds fine! When do we leave?” Silver asked with a smile as her hands rested on her hips, “As soon as possible would be nice, you can take BB-A for all the intel you need on Spectre -7 and to store the intel.” Violet said as the droid looked at her in surprise and beeped words on the border line of an insult, “Oh well, deal with it!” Violet said as she moved around them, “I'll see y'all in landing bay 7 in 20, you can take The Reaper for your journey.” Violet said as she walked to the main control center of the room. Casedrion and Silver just shrugged their shoulders and moved for their quarters to pack for the trip.

After a good while of packing, the two were in tow for the landing bay. They made it to the bay and started to load up onto the bay with smiles. Casedrion started to fire up the ship for takeoff as Silver stood in the main bay, storing their cases as Violet entered with BB-A who was still throwing a jungle of insults and cuss words to Violet as she rolled into the main control to fly the ship herself, “I forgot to tell you, Spectre-7 will be looking for you, but won't give you anything until you give to code phrase, ‘ By the light of Lothal’s moons’ got it?’’ she asked as Silver nodded, resighting the phrase back to her then saying her last goodbyes and closing the trap door to the main and moving to the control panel to help with hyperspace.

The ship had just left hyperspace and the sight of Lothal was breathtaking. The air was so clear and the water was a nice shade of blue. After entering into the Lothal system, a ship had exited hyperspace along with them only three clicks to the west, “ Should we contact for landing?” Casedrion asked as both the teens looked at the painted ship in awe, as if, right on que, their comm blinked. BB-A was quick to answer, turning the port with her extension, making a female voice pier through the silent ship, “ This is LothHawk to Reaper, state your business.” The ship from across the way spoke as Silver clicked the comm, “ We’re here to meet with a contact of the Grey Republic, requesting to land in Capital City.” Silver responded over the comm with a professional voice. The air was still for a few seconds before the ship responded again, “May I ask who you're meeting?” Before either could respond, BB responded on a series of beeps unrelated to the imperial codes Silver was raised on. “BB-A is that you? Reaper, land in Lothal on bay 6, we’ll meet you there.” The female said as the painted ship started to descend into the atmosphere, “How does she know you?” Cas asked the droid as it beeped a series of emperial codes making Casedrion sigh, “ English please.” He said annoyed as Silver started to descend her own ship. “ She said that the ship had stopped by Yavin a few years back, running into Violet and the small base while looking for someone,” Silver paused as she coasted into the bay, “Did she ever find the person she was looking for?” she asked the droid as it beeped a “I don't know” and resumed helping land next to the colorful, spray painted ship.
