Valkyries P.O.V.
We gathered up the three scrappers and tied them up on a platform near the Jedi cruiser. As Hunter brought the last scrapper over Echo said
"Rex warned us about the scrapper patrols on Bracca. We should leave" Hunter replied
"In our present situation, we need money. And we have a chance to make a lot of it right here" he gestured towards the cruiser. Wrecker laughed before saying
"Ha! In this dump? How?" Hunter looked over at Tech and said
"Tech, what's the potential haul inside this cruiser?" Tech looked down at his tablet before saying
"My scans indicate the armoury and artillery bay have not been fully off-loaded. The dianoga must have kept the scrappers away"
"Just a few of those weapons should clear our debt with Cid" I raised eyebrows and went to say something but was cut off by Echo saying
"We're soldiers, not arms smugglers"
"There's no Republic for us to rely on anymore. We're presented with an opportunity here. We have to take it" Tech then interjected
"I would also add that the intel from the bridge's central system has the potential to be worth far more than any weapon"
"Tech, get to the bridge. Get the power online and whatever intel you can gather" I pointed to the scrappers and said
"Uh, what do we do about them?"
"We'll grab what we need and be gone before they even wake up" We then turned and headed back towards the cruiser.
Before going back inside the cruiser, I stopped as a breeze went by. As it did I could have sworn I heard whispers, it sounded almost like cries and screams. I took a slight step towards the edge of the platform, only to stop when a hand was placed on my arm. I looked back and saw Hunter standing there with a worried expression on his face. He then said
"You alright?" I looked at him for a second before looking back out across the landscape and saying
"Yeah…Yeah I'm alright" I then turned back to face him and said
"Come on. I don't want to be here longer than we have to. Way too many ghosts out there" As we were walking inside, I shoved him and said
"And what the hell are you doing working for Cid?"

Hunter and I joined Wrecker, Echo and Omega just as the lights came on. Once everything was powered Techs voice came over the comms
"The power's back on" Wrecker replied
"Yeah, we can see that" Omega pushed the door and said
"But we still need a code for the door" Echo then said
"I can try to hack it but it will take so…" I cut him off by pointing at the keypad and saying
"Or I can just put the code in" They all slowly turned to face me as Echo said
"You know the code?" I walked over to the keypad and typed in '401834565'. The small light flash green and the door popped open. I turned back to the group, smiled and said
"I know the code" Wrecker was obviously the first one to go in.
"Whoa! So many proton torpedoes" He picked up on of the torpedoes and said
"Come here, beautiful" He kissed it as Omega said
"Can you show me how to arm that?" He pulled it closer to himself and said
"Sorry, kid. This one's all mine" Techs voice then came over the comms again
"Omega, I need you up on the bridge"
"Copy that" She gave us a small wave before running off. I pointed after her and said
"Should she be running around the cruiser by herself?" Wrecker shrugged and said
"Ahh shell be fine
Hunter stood infront of the armoury with his arms folded as he said
"With a haul like this, Cid will owe us for a change" I took a crate from Wrecker and said
"I still can't belive you're working for Cid of all people" I saw Hunter roll his eyes out of the coner of my eye as Echo spoke
"If we'd left with Rex, we wouldn't have to owe Cid at all" Hunter then said
"He's on a different path than us" Echo replied
"Hunter, we're soldiers. What other path is there?" I placed the crate on the trolley before saying
"Echo, The day everything changed Rex went through something that's really affected him. He may still be in the fight but…he needs time to find himself again. As do we all. It's a new galaxy out there. Everything has changed"
Omegas P.O.V.
I walked onto the bridge and saw Tech doing some work under one of the consoles. I walked over to him whilst saying
"How's it looking?"
"We're in luck. Whoever scuttled this ship didn't wipe the hardware's data imprint. I'm transferring the files, but I still need to copy the master drive. It's under that panel" I walked over to the panel he pointed at and said
"Tech… what was the war like?"
"It was a primary mission objective comprised of battles on various fronts"
"Yeah, but what was it like?"
"Hmm? I just told you" I just rolled my eyes. But before I could say anything else on the subject I noticed a blinking light in the console.
I pointed at it and said
"Tech why is this button blinking?" he walked over and took one look at it before saying
"That's the proximity sensor. It signals when there's an approaching vessel. It's most likely a short circuit" before either one of us could say anything else a large cruiser came into view. Without a seconds hesitation Tech pressed the comms and said
"Hunter, we've got company."
"Is it more scrappers?"
"No, it's the Empire"
