The doors of Hanger D opened automatically. Scorch was kicked in followed by an irritated Fixer.
"What the kriff have you all been saying to-?" He stopped mid question when he realized what he had walked into. Inside the hanger was a collection of troopers, officers and commandos wrestling each other in pairs.
"Let me stop there. What the kriff?"
"We're bored!" shouted Delta-42, his voice muffled in a lieutenant's forearm.
"We really need something to do. Something other then work." Explained Boss as he dropped his partner on the floor.
Normally Fixer would make a dry comment, but right now he had other problems. "Whatever, what have you all been saying to Sparks? I just tried talking to him and he could not have cared less."
"Were you telling him your 'I once met a Jedi master' story?" Boss theorised.
"No. And for the record, that is a good story."
"Which one did you meet?" Asked Scorch
"General Windu but that doesn't matter-"
"I always wanted to meet General Kenobi." Interrupted Boss
"Nah General Skywalker's the best." Sev argued
The whole hanger began talking at once on their favorite Jedi. "Guys!" Fixer shouted. "I'm being serious about Sparks. I...I actually kinda like him and-"
"Ooo-oo-ooh!" Fixer rolled his eyes as Scorch started singing
" Sparks and Fixer up a tree
F-I-X-E-I-N-G. "
Instead of laughing, the whole hanger looked at Scorch in confused silence.
"…Fix-e-ing?" asked a head-locked trooper.
"Up a tree?" Fixer asked in disbelief.
Fixer shook his head before going up to Boss. "Look, I know we're not exactly close but I'm asking this as your squad mate. Fix this with Sparks... please."
Boss placed his hand on Fixer's shoulder. "Okay, we'll do our best." he replied. The whole squad gave Fixer a nod in reassurance.
Fixer wasn't convinced but he felt like he did all he could. "Okay then." Fixer went to leave the hanger. Before he could step out, he turned back and added "Delta squad? Try to be subtle."
The squad looked back in disbelief at Fixer's lack of faith in them. "Subtle?", "Of course.", "We can totally do that.", "Subtle, yeah."
