The Bad Batch: Soft Universe

Healer.

"It's alright kid, it's probably just the winds but I'm not sure. I think somethings down there?" Echo nodded, putting a hand against Hunter's shoulder. 

"Alright, keep your blasters close and that goes for you too, Omega." She smiled and nodded, holding her blaster against her securely before gazing toward the three tunnel paths. 

"What should we do? Do you know which way to go?" Her voice was filled with curiosity, tilting her head softly. "I feel like we should take the left."

Wrecker laughed a little before nodding. 

"Yeah I agree with the kid! Sounds like a good adventure." Tech soon hummed, staring at the map and hoping for it to reveal the correct path to take. The map was mumbled though, just an x to their correct destination that was blinking rather obnoxiously at him. 

"That would be correct." He stated, finally being able to type in a little code to reveal the map further, the left tunnel blinking. "Good call, Miss Omega." He smiled toward his little sister who beamed once again toward them. They didn't need their torches as long as Omega was this happy; they swear she could brighten up the darkest of planets with her presence alone. The group began to walk down the steeper entrance, annoyed at the planet this 'simple' mission had to be on. The ground beneath them didn't feel very secure which resulted in a few stumbles and a helpful Omega pulling them back up, keeping them from falling. 

"And why would a droid be all the way down here?" Echo grumbled, swiping some more dust from his arm and some from the mechanisms that stood in place of what once was. "It's a little ridiculous don't you think?" Hunter just nodded and sighed a little, 

"The things we do for credits." They all came to an abrupt stop once Hunter held up his arm signalling for them to halt before creeping behind the corner - Omega copying his every move with all  seriousness crossed upon her face. "There are droids." His voice came out more as a snarl, his senses kicking up as he heard their footsteps far within the distant dark tunnel that they had to unfortunately walk through. 

"Droids?" Echo exclaimed, "How the hell are there clankers here?" His voice was a little high, being coated with genuine surprise. 

"I don't know but I just- I know somethings there but I can't pinprick what kind." Tech soon interjected after typing more into his data pad, humming gently. 

"This planet used to be a factory for the creation of droids, but since the Clone Wars came to an abrupt end they used it for construction of the death star. There really shouldn't be any droids down here anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were any rogue ones." Echo sighed a little, his mind returning to previous battles he had been a part of throughout the clone wars he was created for, now after credits just to get by with his current team. He loved this stage of life though, even if things weren't as relaxed as he hoped sometimes. 

"Right, there shouldn't be anything to worry about." Echo responded, sharing a light smile with his brothers and little sister before Hunter signalled an all clear even if they knew a slight amount of chaos could ensue. The torches continued to light up their path, exposing loose rocks, abandoned droid pieces and various materials. It was pretty messy for a cave then again they weren't supposed to ask questions. They just had to get what they came for and be off to get their payment. A quick in and out. 

Before turning what Tech said was the final corner, Hunter pushed them all back and shushed them before peeking over. A small room was situated there, the target droid they had to save sat in the centre of the room switched off but it had droids surrounding it which were working unfortunately. 

"We've got company." His voice whispered, gently signalling Crosshair to look through his scope, activating thermal reading. 

"I see 6 targets, they're typical clankers though." He drew in a sharp breath as he examined, "Nothing too difficult." Hunter nodded before he crouched against the wall.
