"Who are you?" Was the first thing Hunter said when the group got to Nine's ship.
"Your rescuer?" She said, flying my ship around to bring them to theirs.
"I'm gonna need a better answer than that," Hunter said, crossing his arms against his chest.
The others stared at her, and she could tell they were a bit alarmed at how fast she was flying, but Nine didn't care. She could see multiple miles ahead of her, they weren't crashing anytime soon.
"You've offended me," Nine said with a shake of her head. "You really don't recognize your own sister? I mean, I do have a helmet on, but still..."
There was a silence in the ship as that sank in. Nine searched for their ship, finding it with her enhanced vision about a mile out. But none of them seemed focus on getting back to the Marauder.
"Oh, right, I didn't have a name last time we saw each other. We could barely walk, let alone talk. I'm Nine," she said, glancing back at the others.
Hunter's eyes were wide, as were Tech's behind his goggles. Wrecker's mouth was wide open, and Crosshair just stared at her, obviously surprised but more subtle than the others. Nine could see traces of doubt on their faces, but they knew she didn't have a reason to lie.
She gave a thumbs up as the ship landed, standing from her seat. "I'll meet you back on Kamino."
