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...
A little farmgirl from Saleucami gave an enhanced female clone from Kamino a happy and beautiful little portrait, showing how much the now ✨honorary aunt✨ meant to the ✨adopted niece✨
When Shaeeah Lawquane was a little older, a little wiser, Agent Talla wanted to tell the farmgirl just how much that happy little portrait meant to her lowly Enhanced-Clone-of-the-GAR persona. She got too choked up in the gift-giving moment that was regrettably followed by her squadron's abrupt departure.
It was one thing to say you were fighting so that the children of the galaxy wouldn't have to face unimaginable evils under a cruel regime, yet having firsthand experience with these innocent and precious life forms put a whole new perspective on the war for Agent Talla. It was a hard bite to swallow, but Cut's words did ring some straight truths: It wasn't by choice that she fought in this bloody war, Agent Talla was indeed designed for, born, and forced into it.
As part of his goodbye ritual, Cut always made sure to let the soldiers who happened to crash on his doorstep know that they were more than welcome to stay where the Republic hadn't found a deserter and his precious, illegal family. Those who chose to stay could build a new and peaceful life for themselves, away from the bloodshed.
Yet after Saleucami, Agent Talla learned she did have a choice... and decided, all on her own, to keep fighting. It was not encouraged for clones to think about the future because they are not expected to outlive the war. But it was amazing Shaeeah could see so much light and happiness in what Talla had observed was a dark and twisted galaxy. She wants to make the little girls happier perception an actual reality. Now, that happy picture was tucked into the corner of Talla's bedroom mirror, so that when donning her armor and weapons it would be the reminder why she was going out to unavoidably stain them with blood again, but of those who wished to destroy Shaeeah's happiness. Talla hated the smell, feel and taste of spilt blood but she'd do it for Shaeeah, and through her Cut, Suu, Jek, and the little Lawquanes on the way.
And though Crosshair claimed to loathe the very existence of his niece(s) and nephew(s), perhaps this was why he also framed and hung his own pictorial gifts up in his room. The best Sniper in the entire GAR also needed a reminder once in a while on why he kept trudging on, too.
Talla learned she indeed also had the choice whether or not to have a relationship with Hunter which led to her first experience of a passionate moment, underneath the twinkling stars of the Saleucami desert, in the arms of her Sergeant. 🤭
Would this particular choice have drastic consequences if found out?
Yes.
After tonight, Talla was reminded why she agreed to Hunter's plan of keeping this under wraps for the foreseeable future, because while both knew none of the brothers would ever betray them by blabbing... if this somehow got out to any of their cruel superiors, there was no doubt in the incognito couple's mind that something bad would happen, and they'd lose this escape from their gruesome job.
And they were right.

It was taking an unusual amount of time to receive an assignment. They spent 3.5 days on Saleucami, yet still managed to make the 6.2 day journey back to Coruscant with no communications from Lama Su, Commander Cody, an Admiral, a Jedi General, or a reg Commander in need of the Bad Batch's superior soldiering.
To pass that time, Talla had:
