I sit in the cockpit of the Redshifter, floating in the shadow of the Alderaan fleet. “Uhh, did someone forget to tell Mandalore we are on the same side? What the hell?”

Looking up at the sky battle, I take out my comm and hail HJ. “Hey, kid. Time to let Ava know it’s all over. She can end hostilities. We’re all friends again... I assume.” I glance at Harris.

“Im sure whoever replaces Sucal as a chancellor  will be more than willing to offer full pardons for all of you. At the very least, the Republic Military will no longer trouble any of you so long as I have anything to say about it.”

I nod my head as Jakito’s voice speaks into my ear. “Got it.” I ride Huntress over to where Ava and the others are howling victory cries and singing Mando’a songs of triumph. “Hey, Ava! Looks like the boys upstairs didn’t get the memo about the battle being over! Call them off, would ya please? The Alderaan Fleet is our ally!”

The warriors close to me exchange glances as they hear HJ calling to me. Beneath my helmet, my cheeks flushed red. I could tell what they were thinking; he speaks so casually to me. He gives me orders. He calls me by my birth name.

“Right...” I say, raising my flagship on my helmet. “Lydia. I commend your enthusiasm, but the day is ours. The Alderaanians are... not a threat. Allow them to land shuttles... but don’t disperse the blockade either. We aren’t leaving just yet.”
