Chapter 1: Murder Committed

Ezra's P.O.V

It was just another day at the base on Atollon. As of now, nothing much came up for us, other than a few supply runs here and there for ourselves, but no major things. And right now, we were all just relaxing primarily, and doing our own things. Hera and Chopper were adding new mods to the Ghost outside, Kanan was meditating in his room, Zeb was sleeping as usual in our room, and Sabine was just painting things in her room.

As for me, I didn't do much really. I primarily just went to work out on my own outside the Ghost to stay in shape, and I wasn't working out by lightsaber practice, just by exercising primarily. Right now, I was doing push ups on my own on the base grounds, inside the hangar to be exact.

"13, 14, 15, 16,..." I counted as I did my push ups. "19, 20, 21, 22, 23,..." I continued counting. As I went on further, I decided to stop and take a break at thirty. I stood up, catching my breath, and overlooked over at a phoenix pilot walking over to his A-wing as I breathed. Probably just to check up on it.

I saw him open the cockpit door, and he gasped when he opened it. "I need people here right now! Doc has been murdered! Repeat, Doc's been murdered!" the pilot cried out. I ran up to him, and so did the crew when they overheard it from the ship. Sato, Rex, and other members of the cell ran up to him as well.

"What happened?" I asked him. "Doc's been murdered. I swear, I opened the door of the cockpit and then I just found him in there, murdered in cold blood." the phoenix pilot responded. Those of us that came up to him were stunned by what he just told us. "But who would do such a thing?" another phoenix pilot questioned. "I don't know, Archer." the pilot replied."But one thing is for sure: whoever did it did it here, at the base."

"Then we already know one possible thing on this one if it was committed at the base." Sabine theorized. "And what may that be?" I asked. "Whoever did this is potentially either a rouge rebel or an imperial spy, or something like that." The Mandalorian replied. "A possible theory. Ghost crew, I need you to check that A-wing for potential clues, find out who did this." Sato ordered us.

This day just got a whole lot interesting.
