So we have another Ghost crew chapter. This one mostly focuses on contacting Ketsu. I'm trying to keep the Ghost crew as involved as possible before a rescue, which is why we are getting these chapters every now and then.
"So how exactly is Ketsu supposed to help?" Kanan questioned as Sabine led him to the common room alone.
"Well a while back I overheard Ahsoka and Rex reminiscing about the Clone Wars." Sabine began. "They were talking about the Death Watch, a group founded and originating on Mandalore. Apparently, Maul and his supposed brother had not only been affiliated with them, but they supposedly "consulted" one of the Black Sun's smaller syndicates that was apparently stationed on Mustafar. As you probably remember Ketsu was originally the one who jumped into a career with them without me. So if anyone knows anything about the many branches of the Black Sun, it's her. She can tell us where Maul could be hiding and confirming if the Black Sun did in fact have a fortress on the planet. And if so, he could be holding Ezra there."
Kanan could agree with that logic as they had finally approached their destination. They got themselves seated. They were close enough to both see Ketsu, while still giving each other elbow room. Kanan waited patiently as Sabine got the call ready. Within a matter of seconds, Ketsu's miniature hologram appeared on the table.
"Hello?" Ketsu greeted. "Hey, Sabine. Long time no see."
"Hey Ketsu." Sabine replied. "How are you?"
"I'm doing well. How about you?"
"Not so good I'm afraid. I wish this could be a personal call, but I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something."
"I can tell. You sound like something's troubling you. What's bothering you?"
Sabine let out a small chuckle.
"Always wanting to get the point. We need your help. You remember Ezra, right?"
Ketsu took a second to think.
"The kid with the big blues? Yeah. What about him?"
"He was kidnapped by a Zabrak, and said Zabrak took him to Mustafar. I was wondering if you knew where someone could hide there without the much of any attention from the Empire, or more specifically, was there a Black Sun fortress residing on Mustafar?"
After hearing the artist's story, Ketsu let out an annoyed sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Why would he bring him there?" Ketsu sighed.
"So there is a base there?" Sabine tried to confirm.
"Yeah, but that station has been closed down for years."
Sabine's face lit up, glad to hear that her that her longtime friend knew something.
"Could you tell us where it is?"
Ketsu looked at Sabine, noting the worry and desperation in her eyes. Not wanting to disappoint her friend, Ketsu let out an indifferent sigh.
"Yes. I can tell you where it is, but you'll have to meet me in person. I don't trust how secure this line is, even if it is secure."
Sabine let out a small cheer, and Kanan seemed to breathe for the first time since Ketsu first answered.
"Thank you Ketsu. You don't know how much this means to us, to all of us. Where would you like us to meet?"
"How about Lothal? I'm not too far from the planet and I know you guys are regulars there."
"Of course. Meet us at Ezra's tower. It's on the outskirts of Capital City. It's kind of hard to miss once you spot it."
"I'll see you there. Until then, I bid you farewell."
I hope I did a good job keeping Ketsu in character. And we won't see the Ghost crew, specifically Kanan and Sabine, again for a few chapters.
