"Moff Gideon?" Mayfeld scoffed. "Yeah, forget it. Just take me back to the scrapyard. I'm not doing' that."
"They have their kid." Cara sighed. Mayfeld had a shocked expression on his face as he looked between Cara, Din and I. I tried to ignore the feeling that rose in my chest at her words, our kid.
"The little green guy?" Mayfeld asked
"Yeah, the little green guy." Cara said
"So, I help you guys get him back, you guys let me go?" Mayfeld asked. He's changed his tune quite quickly, it seems that the child has that effect on people.
"That's not how this works." Cara said. She wasn't exactly willing to lose her job.
"Well, then what's in it for me?" Mayfeld asked
"You get a better view." Cara said
Mayfeld sighed and ran his hands down his thighs before he relented. "All right, but here's the thing. I can't get those coordinates unless I have access to an internal imperial terminal. I believe there's one on Morak."
"Morak? There's nothing on Morak." Din stated in confusion.
"It's a secret Imperial mining hub, okay? If you can get me in there, I can get you those coordinates." Mayfeld said
The room fell quite as we thought over Mayfeld's plan. It may be dangerous, but if we can get the kid back, then it's worth it.
Din turned to the controls beside him and opened the comlink to the cockpit. "Fett, punch in the coordinates to Morak."
"Copy that." Boba Fett replied. The ship jolted slightly as we took off, flying out of the atmosphere and into space.

The cold metal of my vibroblade passed between my fingers. I flipped it around in my hand and passed it in between my fingers, a skill that I had learned from....from someone who was very important to me. The man who saved me from the empire when I was a child.
A firm pressure landed on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Din looking down at me, he tilted his helmet to the side and glanced down at my hands.
"You're making him nervous." Din mused with poorly concealed amusement. I looked up just in time to see Mayfeld look away from me and swallow hard. His expression showed a nervous edge.
I looked down at my vibroblade and smirked slightly. "Oops."
I bent down and placed my blade back in the small holster in my boot. Boba Fett caught my attention as he walked past me and headed towards the control desk that was showing a holograph of a planet.
"I did an initial scan of the planet." Boba Fett said. Din squeezed my shoulder before he let go and walked over to Boba Fett. I pushed myself up from my seat and walked over to them.
"This is what you're talkin' about, right?" Boba Fett asked Mayfeld as He zoomed into a facility.
"Yeah, that's the refinery right there." Mayfeld pointed
"Wonder what they're refining in there." Fennec asked
"Looks like rhydonium. Highly volatile and explosive." Boba Fett replied
"Yeah, kinda like this one, huh." Mayfeld chuckled. Referring to Cara Dune. I glared at him for a moment and when I turned back to the map, I saw Boba Fett turn and give him a deadpan stare. I held in my laugh at the awkward atmosphere that surrounded his poor attempt at a joke.
"They have anti-aircraft cannons protecting it." Boba Fett said, returning back to the map.
"And a platoon of security forces." Fennec added
