Now that she had the information, Omega had to get it to Cid's client. It was unusual that she wouldn't just give it to Cid, but she trusted her so pushed that thought aside. They were meeting at a refuel space station, which was convenient because Omega desperately needed to refuel the ship. The client was going to approach her and say "the weather has been very nice on Coruscant" to which she was supposed to say "then all is well in the galaxy". She refueled her ship and studied her data pad while she waited. The helmet was a bit cumbersome, but it was a safety precaution that had paid off so she wasn't going to risk taking it off. A voice behind her tapped her on the shoulder and said "the weather has been very nice on Coruscant". Omega's pulse quickened as she recognized the voice.

Hunter had been skeptical about this mission, but with the empire cracking down, they couldn't be picky. Now he just had to find their informant. Scouting the refuel station, he tried the code phrase on a couple of people earning nothing but annoyed looks. Up ahead he saw a helmeted Boushh leaning against a small ship. He approached him and tapped him on the shoulder saying the code phrase. Hunter could hear the Boushh's heart rate quicken at his voice, but let go of his concerns when the Boushh responded with

"then all is well in the galaxy" in his gruff voice. Continuing, the Boushh said "I have the information" Hunter looked up, suddenly aware that Imperial troops were on patrol and heading this way.

"Blast" he murmured. Then he said to the Boushh "there is an imperial patrol on its way, we'll have to do the information transfer on my ship." The Boushh looked like he was going to argue, but when the patrol came into sight he followed Hunter.

When they entered the ship, Echo raised an eyebrow. They hadn't planned on bringing the informant on board their ship.

"Plan changed. We ran into an imperial patrol" Hunter explained. Tech furrowed his brow,

"Imperials? All the way out here?" Hunter nodded and then turned to the Boushh

"You have the information?" he asked. The Boushh nodded and produced a data stick which Tech took and plugged into his data pad. Hunter couldn't help but notice that when they had entered the ship, the Boushh's heart rate had further increased. The Boushh then said,

"Since you have the information, I'll be on my way now" and made a move towards the door.

"Not so fast," Hunter said moving to block the door with his blaster pointed at the Boushh. Seeing Hunter, Echo and Wrecker also pointed their weapons at the Boushh. "There's something you're not telling us, Boushh" he continued.

Boushh? That must be the alien who traditionally wears this helmet, Omega realized. Turning around she realized the other batchers also had their weapons raised at her.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she said, grateful the voice modulator hid the quiver in her voice.

"Yes, you do." Hunter said, narrowing his eyes "now give it up or we will open fire" Omega was stunned. She had never seen Hunter make a judgment this quickly before. Realizing there was no way out of this, Omega slowly reached up and took off her helmet.

"Omega?" Hunter's voice came out in a whisper. Wrecker was the first to react, running over to her and picking her up in one of his all-consuming hugs.

"It's good to see you, Wrecker" Omega's voice snapped Hunter out of his daze

"Omega, where have you been? We've been so worried about you!" She turned to look at him with an expression he couldn't quite read.

"I've been around" she replied cryptically. Tech was next to speak, in his matter-of-a-fact manner,

"I suggest we leave before we are discovered by the Imperials." Then his voice softened and he looked at Omega "It's good to have you back, Omega." But Omega responded,

"It's good to see you, but I'm not coming back"

Omega saw on her brothers' faces how those words pained them, but they were true. She wasn't ready to come back. As much as she missed her family, it wasn't time yet.

"What?" this time it was Echo who spoke.

"I'm not coming back," Omega repeated. Slowly she turned to go, but Hunter caught her arm.

"Omega, please," Hunter said.

"Hunter, you have to let me go," She said softly, but sternly. He let go of Omega's arm but his pleading gaze was still on her. It broke Omega's heart, but she knew she had to trust in her own decision. She turned to go, continuing despite Hunter calling her name one more time. But before she could reach the door, she heard Hunter quickly unholster his blaster and the world went dark.
