In an altered galaxy far, far away the Kaminoans ended up creating what could potentially be their deadliest enemy, skilled and sneaky enough to expose their heinous crimes to the Republic and put them out of business. They threw everything they cou...
Wrecker cursed Tech under his breath when he saw the brainiac had started but not yet finished the modifications he was making to the communications console, some of the framework and inner mechanisms missing. He'd have to stick with a smaller holo instead of the colored, full body one. The long distance comms were fired up and Wrecker's heart fluttered when he saw a dozen new prerecorded holos waiting for him, which he was quick to begin transferring to his data pad. With a click of a few buttons he sent a ping to the channel they came from, hoping that it wasn't too late, or too early, or in the middle of a tattoo job, 'Huh, maybe I shoulda checked the Coruscant Time before -'
The console beeped. He answered, and Skylar's upper body appeared on the smaller projector, simply a dull shade of blue and the connection was a bit staticky but once they managed to secure it she beamed, making her look fresh as a daisy. "He-hey, mesh'la!" Wrecker cheered, "Ya look so much better!" He had felt bad having to jet off when she still had three days left to go with her period.
"It's been a week and a half since you left, Wrecker, my menses long over by now." Sky deadpanned, with a cheeky smile and tilt of her head. "But I do miss the piggy-back rides to work already, I felt like the kriffing Queen of Naboo."

Wrecker's grin grew smug. Shuffling, he made himself comfier on the ground in front of the jutted-out console, legs stretched out on either side of the framework so he could scootch as close as possible to her small projection. "I didn't get t' listen to your other holos yet, can I save 'em for another rainy day?" He asked, "We haven't been cleared t' leave yet, might hafta jet on over to another star system."
Despite that unfortunate news, Skylar kept in smiling. "Yes, because that's what they are for, just as requested." She sweetly replied. "Force knows how you find my mundane day-to-day life interesting, but I find my work stories are a bit more riveting - a Pantoran with long, straight, GORGEOUS magenta hair came in for her hair appointment the other day, plopped down in Blair's station, and told her to chop off it all off and dye it green, all the while not looking at her comm that kept going off, who turns out was her controlling mother who's house she was finally of legal age to leave from, and eventually she showed up to the shop -" She stopped herslff, but she was visibly excited just reliving it on her mind, "I'll leave it at that because I don't think I could top how I tell it in the recording and the whole thing was INSANE, but we took care of her," Her grin turned into a proud smirk, "AND her mom, but in a completely different way, if ya know what I'm sayin'." *wink*
Wrecker guffawed, didn't hold back from saying, "Thats my girl!" With that maniacal twinkle in his eyes. "Oh, I recorded a lotta stories too, TECH DID SOMETHIN' EPIC! I won't spoil nuthin', but let's just say Tech learned a new trick with the clankas here on Felucia, HAHA!" He hit the console excitedly, fussed over it when Skylar's projection went static for a moment, "Oops, sorry! Oh," He cleared his throat, still felt weird talking about this so openly with someone other than the family but it was a GOOD wierd, if that makes sense, "And we're okay now, by the way, Talla explained the 'Plan 99' to me better, jus' thought I should give ya an update on that..."
"Well, I'm glad. Because now I don't feel so bad for thinking 'Plan 99' was a beautiful way to honor and remember your brother's sacrifice -"
"OoOo, is that your bOyFrIeNd?" Nik was heard in the background.
Skylar's head sharply turned when he made exaggerated kissing noises, "Get out, you doofus!" Her upper body dipped from view of the hologram, and when she was back she had her slipper in hand, chucked it hard, and Wrecker heard a loud THUNK! when it hit Nik's bedroom door that shut just in time. His triumphant laughter was loud enough to be heard over the holo. "Ugh, brothers can be SO ANNOYING!"
"Tell me about it!" Wrecker agreed, his heart all fluttery seeing her so boisterously interact with her brother as he did with all his. 'We have so much in common!' Skylar folded her hands and set her chin atop them, meekly asked what he would like to spend their precious time talking about. "Anything, and I'll listen, I kinda like just hearing your voice again." He admitted with a dopey grin, "At least don't leave me hangin', did ya throw the crazy mother off the side skyscraper?" *maniacal laughter*
"... Well, now I feel like you'll be disappointed when I say we just called the police, ya maniac -"
There was this funny thing Skylar had learned about the man she was seeing. Previously, Sky thought he'd have more skeletons in the closet he'd not share with her so soon into their exclusive time spent together, perhaps not ever, for he was so reluctant to divulge more on what happened that morning he arrived on her doorstep so gloomy. That is, until he felt Skylar deserved an explanation as to why he was avoiding the Marauder altogether now, and apparently not because of Crosshair and Talla's fighting, but because Tech proposed 'Plan 99.'
But as it turns out, the Bad Batch just lived for the adrenaline rush and working solo for most of their assignments meant a considerable lack of heartbreak like she'd seen him recently experience, and he loved to spout his tales of the Bad Batch's awesome exploits. If he claimed the colossal damage he did in the Wild Wookie Rage Rooms was nothing compared to the damage he caused with access to top of the line firepower... She almost pitied the clankas who crossed paths with him.
