Nicki lied down on the bed. Hera gently pulled the covers over her, "If you need anything, come and get me.". Nicki smiled, grateful for her compassion. "There is one thing," she smiled. Hera sat next to her, listening. "Maybe when Zeb has the time, he could visit me.". Hera gave her a warm smile, "I can arrange that.". Nicki's heart seemed to lift at her answer. "Thank you.". Hera stroked a hand through her hair, "You're welcome.". She got up from the bed and walked out of Nicki's room, closing the door behind her. Nicki kept her eyes on the door for a few seconds before turning over to her right side, facing the grey wall. Zeb popped into her mind as she drifted off to sleep, wondering why she kept thinking of him.

Zeb sat at the dejarik table, playing a round with Ezra. The kid was carefully observing his choices, as he was down to his last piece. Zeb was almost surprised that he was beating him. Ezra made his a move, and Zeb was ready. When Ezra was done, Zeb won the round easily. "Oh come on!" Ezra growled in annoyance. Zeb stood up, "We'll do another round tomorrow, I'm getting tired.". Ezra crossed his arms, and Zeb smiled slightly in satisfaction. As he entered the hallway, Hera walked up to him. "Zeb," she spoke to him. "Nicki had a request.". Zeb straightened himself, "What was it?". Hera spoke in her usual tone, "She asked that when you have any opportunities open, she wants you to visit her.". Zeb nodded in approval, "Will do, Hera.". Hera smiled,"Thank you.". She then walked past him and into the main room. Zeb looked at the door, then back to the closest door on the left, smiling. "Anything for you, Nicki.".

Kanan sat in the cockpit, looking out at the horizon. He could see krykna spiders crawling near the beacons, but then backing away. The door opened behind him, and he turned around to see Hera. "How's our new friend?" he asked. Hera sat down in the chair next to his, "She's tucked up in bed right now. We'll see how she feels in the morning.". Kanan sat up, leaning a bit closer to Hera, "Anything from Sato yet?". She shook her head, "No, not recently.". Kanan sighed, "I'm worried about the girl. What if she gets herself in trouble?". Hera was about to reply when they heard thumping coming from one of the rooms. Hera and Kanan shot up from their seats and rushed outside. Nicki's door was open, and screeches and electronic beeping were coming from it. Kanan and Hera reached the doorway. Chopper stood there at the bottom of the bed, one of his arms extended and crackling with electricity. On the top bunk, Nicki sat there, huddled against the wall as far back as possible. "Chopper!" Hera snapped. "What do you think you're doing!?".
