? ~PROJECT SAC-1~ ??

Mission gone awry!

SAC-1 showed some phenomenal capabilities during the mission on Silva, just as Tech predicted, but just as Sergeant Hunter told her outright, he knew she'd choke. And she ended up putting Crosshair and Tech's life in danger in the process, and much to General Anakin Skywalkers chagrin, his Padawan Ahsoka Tano was also caught in the line of fire due to SAC-1's unexplained incompetence.

Mucking up their perfect record, the Bad Batch intend to have the mark expunged by returning to the Separatist base and discovering the mastermind behind the plot to kidnap the Chancellor, without SAC-1. Sergeant Hunter has asked his long-time friend and fellow officer, Commander Cody, to ship her back to Kamino.

Crushed by guilt and shame over the injuries inflicted on her squadron mates and new friend, SAC-1 wonders what happened to her out there, and awaits the news that she will be shipped back to Doctor Nala Se, where punishment would undoubtedly await the failed and costly experiment...

Back in her room, SAC-1's dead, bloodshot eyes stared blankly into the large, round mirror hanging on her right wall.

Hunters berate was whirling through her mind at a million parsecs per second, blaring and hateful.

'You screwed up the mission, that's what happened!'

'The Chancellors safety is at risk because of your mistakes!"

'You just made us fail the mission and nearly killed off half our men - '

Nala Se's parting words were next, soft but threatening.

'If you are returned to Kamino, we will be forced to rethink your usefulness to the army.'

Her face contorted in ferocity, and tears of pain came out of the corners of her squeezed eyes. "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?!" She shrieked, then once again hurled a punch at whatever was in front of her, which happened to be the mirror this time. It shattered under her fist, shards shot in any and every direction upon impact. The pieces of broken glass that remained under her fist severed through her glove and sliced into her knuckles but she didn't feel the sting. All SAC-1 felt was the crushing weight on her chest of guilt and impending doom.

Once Nala Se found out about her failure she'd be executed on the spot for sure, and while it would be just... SAC-1 didn't want her life to end so shortly after being introduced to the wonders of the vast galaxy.

(DAY 4 w/ THE BAD BATCH)

Tech heeded to Hunter's curt order that they leave SAC-1 alone... at first. But as the night dragged on his anxiety over the situation steadily increased. 'I know why SAC-1 failed, but no one wants to listen to me!' It was the bitter story of his life. More than once, Crosshair in the bunk above him hissed for Tech to stop shaking his leg or he would come down there and make him stop. Tech's nervous habit so fiercely shuddered the bunk frame that it made Crosshair feel like he was in the middle of an earthquake.
