Ktin wished what he saw was true. But he knew his son was dead. "This town is still boring.." Ana said dodging the people in the town. "You've only been underground Ana." Ktin said still checking behind him hoping his son would be there. They walked up to a building that had taken a beating and walked inside to reveal a school. "So we're leaving the small green thing here?" Ana said looking around the school. "Yes, where we are going the little one shouldn't go." Din said placing him in an empty seat. They walked out of the school and went towards
the Slave 1, Ktin wanted his son to be alive. But his son was dead, nothing was going to change that. "Ktin, why haven't you spoken to any of us?" Ana said nudging him. "No reason, just don't feel like talking." Ktin said looking at her briefly. "Oh come on, you're a literal chatter box Ktin." Ana said stepping infront of him, stopping him in his tracks, "What's the real reason Ktin?" Ana said crossing her arms. "It's nothing Ana, just don't feel like talking." Ktin said grabbing her hand and walking her to the ship, Ana scoffed. "What happened to t he Ktin that was annoying? The Ktin that didn't have a worry in the galaxy? The Ktin who made me laugh until I couldn't breathe?" Ana said finally keeping up with Ktin "I take things more seriously now, something I should've done when the Empire was in control." Ktin said stopping him and Ana and looking into her Viewfinder. "So that's what's been troubling you?" Ana said grabbing Ktin's other hand "No- It's just-" Ktin stuttered "Ktin, I can read you like a hologram." Ana said crossing her arms. "It's not your fault." Ana said uncrossing her arms and grabbing his hands, "It is my fault, I failed..I should've-" Ktin was cut off. "It wasn't your fault! We couldn't have done anything about it!" Ana exclaimed, Ktin sighed. "I know." Ktin grabbed Ana's hand and walked towards the Slave 1, once Ktin boarded it he went to a darker corner of the ship and removed his helmet.
He ran his gloved fingers through his hair as he felt the cold air of the ship on is face. He was about to put his helmet on and leave the corner until he heard a familiar voice from behind him, "Just don't turn around and you'll be fine."Ana whispered. "It's dark enough for me to look at you without a helmet on." Ktin said removing his gloves. Ana went into the dark space and removed her helmet, "Just know you aren't the only one who likes to take this helmet off every once in a while." Ana said placing her helmet down beside his. "I've got a question." Ana said turning her head to the dark mass that was Ktin, "How come whenever something bad happens, you always solve said problem with an explosion?" Ana questioned. "How come whenever one of us nearly dies the other is always there?" Ktin said turning himself completely to Ana, "How come you're always the one who nearly dies?" Ana said lightly pushing him playfully. "It used to be always you who needed the saving." Ktin laughed. "Well I guess that's finally changed." Ana said putting her helmet on and walking out of the dark space. Ktin did the same and noticed they were already in hyperspace. "Is there at least a plan?" Ktin said putting his glove on, "Do you know how to sneak around without alerting anyone?" Din said looking at him. "I have my experience with sneaking around places and not getting seen." Ktin said grabbing his two blasters and holstering them.
When they arrived Ktin stepped out and observed his surroundings. It was muddier than a desert planet if it ever received rain. Ktin walked for a while when he heard other footsteps, he turned around and saw Ana. "What?" Ana said, Ktin sighed and they continued walking until they came across a patrol. "This is going to be easy, a patrol." Ana said sarcastically. "Just cover yourself in mud and lay down, they're too stupid too see us." They covered themselves in the mud and got into a prone position. "No sudden movements.." Ktin said pulling out a vibroblade and one of his blaster pistols. The troopers walked by and one unfortunate straggler was stabbed in the throat and pulled behind a muddy rock. Ktin turned around to the group and blasted them all, Ana got up and walked beside him. "That wasn't part of the plan." Ana said trying not to slip on the mud. "The plan was to not be seen." Ktin said "We've achieved that so far haven't we?" He said looking back at her. "I'll be surprised if they didn't hear the blaster fire." Ana mumbled. When they reached a facility that was all Ktin had to see. "This is all the information we need, if the Moff is in there.. well.." Ktin said looking at the facility with his rangefinder. They walked back to the ship and went inside. "Well we found a facility, but I can't guarantee he's in there." Ktin said cleaning the mud out of his blaster. "Well at least we know where he is." Din said .
When they reached Nevarro Ktin and Ana stayed on the ship to clean their armor. When Ktin saw a familiar face it was that scummy slime, Kar.
