The Hangar Bay
A rebellion must always be on the move. To remain stagnant, even for a moment, is to invite death. Even a brief respite bears the weight of the enemy breathing closer at the back of the neck. A rebellion is born of constant chaotic animation, and the hangar bay is the pulsing beating heart of it all.
The dull hum of industry surrounds you the moment you step onto the smooth floors, and the constant throb of machinery matches your heartbeat in your ears. You watch as an X-Wing spirals past the opening at the other end of the bay - a practice run, a constant reminder of perpetual vigilance – while a small cargo ship settles in an open docking slot nearby. Someone pushes past you, racing towards another ship, with a droid hot on their tail. It beeps a small apology, before spinning on its heel to follow its master. Through it all, you hear the soft sound of spinning metal. Consistent, constant, like someone thumbing a worry stone.
You follow it, past a repair droid burning through a convoluted tangle of wires and find him tucked behind a black and gold X-Wing fighter. Nestled against a cargo pallet, boots on the box in front of him, back against the netted shipment behind him, his brow is furrowed at some puzzle. You get the distinct impression that he’s been sitting there for quite some time, turning the gears in his hands over and over. He looks up, and his frown turns into a wide smile.
