You might be surprised to hear this but I am alive too. I guess we can call it even. A lot has happened since we last saw each other. The man who hired you is still here, and his ranks of ex-Imperial guards have grown. They have imposed despotic rule over my city, which has impeded the livelihood of the Guild. We consider him an enemy but we cannot get close enough to take him out. If you would consider one last commission I will very much make it worth your while. You have been successful so far in staving off their hunters. But they will not stop until they have their prize. So here is my proposition: Return to Nevarro, bring the Child as bait. I will arrange an exchange and provide loyal Guild members as protection. Once we get near the client, you kill him, and we both get what we want. If you succeed, you keep the Child and I will have your name cleared with the Guild, for a man of honor" should not be forced to live in exile. I await your arrival with optimism./em"/p

Ignoring him, he called my name. Climbing down the latter, taking my supper into the small compartment. Scarffing it down my supper, to mad to savorer the taste.

Sitting up to meet Mando's tinted visor, yawning while stretching my body, bones and joints popped. Satisfied, I looked at Mando with questioning look. "We're almost there. Best get ready." Without another word, I started suiting up in my new armor. Covering it up with the navy blue almost black cloak. Only showing the helmet. Pulling off the tarp to reveal Backstrike.

Once we was close, he caressing Mando's beskar armor. "What exquisite craftmanship. It is amazing how beautiful beskar can be when forged by its ancestral artisans.

Just as in this situation, it was all avoidable. Why did Mandalore resist our expansion? The Empire improves every system it touches. Judge by any metric. Safety. Prosperity. Trade. Opportunity. Peace. Compare Imperial rule to what happening now. Look outside. Is the world more peaceful since the revolution? I see nothing but death and chaos. I would like to see the baby." Oh no./p
