This Griessmühle BLN located heavy assault Psycho Thrill Cologne TECHNO throw-back from 2014!

PSYCHO THRILL [@] TALKING MACHINES BLN 08082014

08-08-2014: Another typical club mix in a pure Psycho Thrill CGN vein, played by Claus Bachor for “TALKING MACHINES” at GRIESSMUEHLE / Berlin. SRY here for a few slight rumbles due to a skippy turntable and a partially distorted monitoring which accounts either for some of the “lil'skips” during the mix. However, it used to be a huge night due to the brilliant audience hangin’ out there - movin’ into any direction on the cutting edge of Techno -, the super nice work by the “Talking Machines” promoters and the very cool atmosphere of the whole “Griessmuehle” club as well.

Written for @superherotiger for the Rebels May the Fourth exchange! I absolutely loved working on this and might have gotten a little carried away. Spacedad and spaceson (Kanan and Jacen) feels ahead.

Jacen leaned on the railing of the communication tower as he watched the twin moons of Lothal rise on the horizon. The capital city glowed in the distance, a glimmering, bustling symbol of hope and perseverance nestled in the heart of the planet’s expansive plains and mountains. It was a pleasant enough place to visit; he remembered coming here many, many times with his mom when he was younger. Back then, Lothal and the rest of the Galaxy had just wrested its freedom back from the Galactic Empire; as such, General Syndulla and her son were always welcome visitors.

This visit, Jacen wasn’t here with his mother. He found it was much easier to move about the city, slipping down side streets and lurking in all manners of pubs and hole-in-the-wall diners, without his extremely recognizable mom at his side. It was weird, actually, not having her here - for as long as he could remember, the two of them (and their grumpy C1 droid) had practically been inseparable. But during their last trip here, something had started nagging at the back of his mind while they wandered up and down the city’s streets; once they left the planet’s surface, it was as if something was immediately trying to call him back.

After many rotations, when the soft whispering at the corners of his awareness didn’t fade away, he broached the topic with his mom. He asked her what it was and what it could mean, and he had watched while she regarded him with a thoughtful, misty-eyed look. He’d never forget her response: “You have questions, Jacen. I can’t answer them, but the Force can.” She let him take the Phantom II (how the ancient Clone Wars-era shuttle was still in flying condition, he had no clue), making him promise to bring both the shuttle and himself back in one piece.

That had been maybe four rotations ago. Since then, he’d been relentlessly searching the town, eavesdropping on all manners of conversations, hoping to find the shred of a sliver of a hope of what the kriff he was even supposed to be looking for. He was tired, frustrated, and alone.

Maybe I should leave and meet up with Mom on Ryloth.

But as soon as he had the thought, the whispering started a new chorus of nagging at the back of his mind. It spoke no words to him, only gifting him with a confusing, nebulous feeling that he couldn’t put any sort of name to.

Jacen tugged the hood of his cloak over his head, hiding his wolf tail of dark green hair and the smattering of green freckles that dotted his cheekbones. His mom had mentioned the Force, that somehow it was the thing that could help with the whispers in his head. But as far as the Force was concerned, he was skeptical at best. Sure, he’d met the great Luke Skywalker, the last of the Jedi who had ‘brought balance to the Force’, whatever that meant. But upon meeting one of the people who’d fought alongside his mom in the Rebellion, Jacen’s impression of the man hadn’t been very… impressive. Luke was a cool guy and all, but the whole ‘mystical Force-wielding warrior’ thing? Jacen didn’t buy it. In his opinion, the man was just an extremely lucky farmboy-turned-rebellion-hero, who now had some sort of school to teach others his lucky Force-wielding ways.

His mom insisted that his dad had been a Jedi, too. She’d told Jacen many stories of how the two of them went around the Galaxy and helped people, formed their rag-tag found family, and fought with the Rebellion since its infancy. Of course he believed her - she was his mom, after all. And he’d talked with Uncle Zeb and Aunt Sabine frequently enough to know the stories were true, all of them.

Which meant the story of how his dad had sacrificed himself to save the others during one of their last missions as a group was, tragically, true as well. His father, Kanan Jarrus - the Jedi, the hero, and the martyr who never lived to see the birth of his son. By all accounts, a legend. A man with a legacy so storied and noble that Jacen could never hope to hold a candle to that blazing bright flame. And he definitely couldn’t ever dream of relating to that half of his parentage, other than the predominantly human features he saw every time he looked in a mirror.

Pilot or mechanic? Relatable. War hero? An occupation he would never aspire to, but a tangible thing nonetheless. But… Jedi Knight ?

Jacen groaned and covered his face with one of his hands, trying to ignore the sound of his insecurities and uncertainties mingling with the incessant whispering.

I need a drink.

Quickly descending the tower and making his way to his rented speeder, he started zipping down the main highway into town. He couldn’t outrace the whispers and doubts, but the sensation of the wind whipping in his face as he skimmed over the surface helped ground him. He still wanted that drink, though.

The grungy, welcoming sign of Old Jho’s was barely in sight when, out of nowhere, a white blur streaked across Jacen’s field of view.

“Whoah!”

He slammed on the brakes, causing the speeder to swing at an angle as it ground to a halt. As he caught his breath, Jacen spotted the source of the blur perched on top of some crates next to the road. It was one of the planet’s many Lothcats, sitting cool, collected, and completely oblivious to the danger it had narrowly avoided. But it wasn't like any of the Lothcats he'd seen before; this one had fur as white as a blizzard on Hoth and piercing blue eyes. Eyes that were staring directly at Jacen.

“Well, aren't you a strange little guy?” he mused.

The white Lothcat meowed and licked its front paw.

“I've got someplace to be, but you should be more careful when you're crossing the street.” Why am I talking to a tooka? It's not like it understands me.

Jacen repositioned his foot onto the gas pedal, intending to traverse the last couple of blocks between him and Old Jho’s. But at his movement, the Lothcat immediately raised its hackles and hissed at him.

“What? Why are you mad at me? I didn't hit you! Now scram!”

It lowered its hackles and resumed staring at him, watching him expectantly.

Jacen sighed and dismounted the speeder. “Fine. What do you want?”

The Lothcat looked him directly in the eyes, then turned to look at the horizon. Some of the whispers in Jacen’s head coalesced to form a thought of intuition.

“Do… do you want to show me something?”

The Lothcat chirped as it brought its gaze back to Jacen. As if it were trying to say: Obviously, Meiloorun-head.

“Okay then,” he sighed, “lead the way.”

The white Lothcat leapt from the stack of crates, landing nimbly on the other side of the fence Jacen had just passed that separated the concrete of the city from the expansive, grassy fields. It poked its head through a patch of grass, giving Jacen an impatient stare.

“Hold on, let me get turned around!” Jacen carefully maneuvered the speeder so he could execute a three-point turn in the empty passageway, bringing himself about to face the direction of the Lothcat. His speeder properly oriented, the small creature dove further into the grass and reappeared in a small opening a few feet ahead. Again it looked back at Jacen expectantly, twitching its tail as if to wave him forward. Jacen's gaze flicked between the Lothcat and the plains stretching out before him, the swaying grass tickling the twin moons where they hung low in the sky.

Speeding off into the unknown, following a white Lothcat? Sounds weird and reckless.

Let's get started.

Lightly revving the engine, the speeder moved forward off the road. The Lothcat immediately started racing ahead of Jacen, bounding through the sea of yellows and light browns. He strained to keep his sights on the bobbing blur of white as he chased after it, quickly losing sight of the city through the tall grass surrounding him. The flashes of white in the growing darkness were now the only thing guiding his way.

Well, that, and the chorus of whispers from the grass as it brushed by him, holding a cryptic conversation with the murmurs in the back of his mind. He couldn’t make any intelligible sense of it, but somehow Jacen knew he was heading in the right direction. He could feel it.

Heading towards what , though, he had no idea.

Eventually their chase through the seemingly endless plains led to a wide open clearing, where large circles of fine dirt and gravel prevented the tall grass from growing. The largest of the circles gently sloped inwards towards its center, like a crater or excavation site. The Lothcat stopped at the edge of this circle, causing Jacen to once again slam on the brakes to avoid hitting his animal guide. It meowed at him and hissed at the speeder, clearly trying to communicate that the machine should be left at the edge of the clearing. He dismounted, and instantly the Lothcat began trotting forward, down into the mysterious pit.

“What is this place?” Jacen mused as he walked behind the white Lothcat. As they moved further into the clearing, wisps of fog started accumulating at the edges of the grass, obscuring the rest of Lothal’s landscape so that only the empty clearing was visible.

Scratch that - not empty. In the very center of the pit, still a long ways away from where he stood, sat some sort of grey rock.

Maybe it’s a magic Force rock? Or maybe… didn’t Mom mention that Lothal once had a Jedi temple? Maybe this is the last remaining piece of it?

Trying to keep his hopes from soaring too high, he continued towards what was possibly the last object on Lothal that might actually help him answer the questions stirring inside him. When the pair got close enough to the center, the Lothcat scampered up to the top of the rock, its white coat contrasting with the soft grey surrounding it. Turning in a little circle, it contently nestled itself into the long, furry moss covering the stone.

Hold up.

… Long, furry moss?

That’s no stone.

Jacen stumbled backwards, falling onto his backside in the dirt, when the not-stone started shifting. The large, grey mass rose onto four large, grey legs; a bushy tail unfurled and swept past Jacen’s feet as the not-rock started turning. Soon, he was face-to-snout with by far the most beautifully terrifying creature he had ever seen.

Holy kriff, I’m about to get eaten by a Lothwolf. Mom’s gonna kill me.

The wolf towered over him, its warm breath beating against Jacen’s wind-stung cheeks. A low growl escaped through its teeth, though somehow the sound didn’t bring the impending sense of doom Jacen thought it would. Possibly because the white Lothcat, still cutely perched atop the Lothwolf’s head, flanked by the beast’s pointed ears where the Lothcat had nestled into the mass of grey fur.

When the Lothcat mewled from its perch, Jacen's gaze briefly drifted upwards. A dark grey pattern marked the wolf’s forehead, the shape of which was achingly familiar. He didn't examine it for long, though, feeling the urgent need to make eye contact with the Lothwolf.

“Uh,” he stammered, “What… what do you want from me?”

Despite asking the question aloud, the last thing Jacen expected was a verbal response.

“You. Must. Learn,” the wolf slowly articulated. The words were like a cross between a growl and a howl, and it was entirely possible Jacen was simply imagining the whole exchange. Then again, if the Force was somehow involved in whatever this unusual encounter was, anything was possible.

“Learn what?”

The wolf narrowed its eyes, irritated at the interruption. “Who. You. Are.”

Jacen barely restrained himself from letting a series of questions and comments burst from his mouth.

But I know who I am! I'm Jacen Syndulla. Son and copilot of the best pilot in the Galaxy. Why would I be anything else?

The wordless whispers in the back of his mind hadn’t ceased yet; rather, they seemed to be getting louder, escalating to an annoying buzzing sensation that simultaneously made him agitated and empty.

Somehow, through all the noise, he heard the Lothwolf speak again:

“Your… Legacy.”

Before Jacen could wonder what the newest addition to the cryptic message could mean, the Lothwolf lowered its snout so that its nose was touching the center of his forehead.

There was a flash of white light.

And then… nothing.

Jacen looked around at his surroundings, worry rising in his chest when he couldn’t see the grey Lothwolf or the white Lothcat. The worry morphed into a full-on panic when he realized he couldn’t even see the dirt or the grass or the moons of Lothal anymore. He was surrounded by darkness as far as the eye could see. Though not total darkness - the black sky he saw stretching in every direction was dotted with tiny white pinpricks of light. It was as if he was floating in some sort of Galactic void and standing among the stars.

The incessant whispers in his head ceased, magnifying the silence of the strange place.

“Hello?” he called out, his voice echoing in his ears despite the clear lack of any walls or other smooth surfaces for the sound to bounce off of. “Is anybody there? Somebody? ...Anybody?”

But nothing returned his call.

Slumping to his knees, Jacen buried his face in his hands.

What am I doing here?

Why did I come here in the first place?

I’m not cut out for all this weird stuff. I’m practically useless on my own. I should never have left Mom.

“I just want to go home…” he sobbed aloud.

“Already? But you just got here!”

“I know, but - eeAAAGGHH!” Jacen shrieked, his heart pounding as he searched, wide-eyed, for the source of the new voice. But he still couldn’t see anything. “Who are you? Where am I? What do you want?”

“I guess you wouldn’t recognize my voice, huh? Hold on, give me a second…” slowly, about five feet in front of Jacen, some of the balls of light started coalescing to form the outline of a figure. “It takes a surprisingly long time to form a body after floating around in the living Force for… what, twenty years?”

“Who… who are you?” Jacen repeated. “ What are you?” He watched as the figure of light gradually took the shape of a human, complete with a lightweight set of green armor and striking blue eyes. On the shoulder of the figure’s - well, man’s - armor was that odd symbol again, the same one he’d seen on the forehead of the Lothwolf. The familiarity of it tickled a thought in the back of Jacen's mind.

I know I've seen that symbol somewhere before...

“Jacen,” the fully-materialized man said calmly, settling on his knees in a meditative position, his eyes brimming with pride and love, “I am your -”

The puzzle finally clicked into place. “ Dad?” Jacen’s voice shook, staring incredulously at the vision before him.

“Well, I was going to say 'father’ - seemed a little more dramatic, you know? But -”

“But how?” Jacen interrupted again, “Mom said you were dead! That you died before I was even born!”

I'm dreaming. I had one too many drinks at Old Jho's again, and now I'm hallucinating. That's the only way any of this makes sense.

“Hera…” the man claiming to be his father muttered, staring wistfully off into the distance before turning his attention back to Jacen. “You know, you have your mother's eyes.”

“Funny, she always said I had your eyes. But you still haven't answered the question,” he pouted, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

“Which was…?”

“How is it I can see you? Talk to you? After all this time…”

“You don't need me to answer that question,” Kanan smiled softly, raising one of his eyebrows. “I think you already know.”

“I don't! I don't know anything! I came here because I have questions, not answers!” Tears started collecting at the corner of Jacen's eyes as he became overwhelmed by frustration and a sea of other nameless emotions.

“And what was it that led you here?”

“A white Lothcat. And a wolf. I think.”

Kanan chuckled, “Go figure. But that's not what I meant. Why bother coming here to Lothal in the first place?”

“I told you, because I have questions!”

“Breathe, Jacen. Focus your thoughts. Why is it you are here, talking with me, instead of asking Hera these burning questions of yours?”

“I tried asking Mom! But I couldn't really explain it, and… and then she…” At last, the lightbulb turned on. “She told me the Force would answer me,” he sighed.

“Well, there you have it.”

“So, what, you mean to tell me you're the Force?”

“Part of it, yes. Just as you are, and your mother, and every other living thing in our Galaxy. It's… a lot to take in, I know.” Kanan gestured for Jacen to come closer.

“Wait, so…” Jacen started as he settled on his knees in front of his father, mimicking his meditative pose, “Does that mean you're not dead? Why didn't you come back sooner?”

Kanan’s shoulders shook with laughter. “Oh, I'm afraid I'm very much dead. But just because someone dies, that doesn't mean they're gone.”

Jacen pondered his words for a few moments before speaking again. “Alright. So the Force is helping me speak to you, so I'm assuming this is some sort of Force-void thing we're in?”

“It doesn't really have a name, but sure, let's go with that.”

“So… why now? I've come to Lothal a bunch with Mom, why didn't I ever stumble on this place before?”

“Because now you're finally ready.”

“Ready for what?”

“To continue the family tradition.”

Jacen narrowed his eyes. “You're going to have to be more specific.”

The corners of Kanan's mouth twitched in amusement. “Think about it for a second. Would the Force really call you here for flying lessons?”

Jacen tried to keep his thoughts from running in a million different directions.

He can't possibly mean… becoming a Jedi? Me?

“But I've never really felt… Force-y,” Jacen commented.

“The Force is strong with you, Jacen,” Kanan smiled warmly. “It has been since the day you were born. You just haven't been attuned to it until now.”

“But why now ?”

“Because the balance of the Force is at risk of collapsing. You have already learned a great deal from your mom - now that you have grown into a young man, it is time for you to learn a new path.”

“... Jedi training?” Jacen asked softly.

Kanan nodded.

“But… how will you teach me if you're dead? Or… a Force ghost, or whatever. Do I have to stay here?”

“As much as I would love to share in that part of your life, I cannot teach you. I'm…” Kanan gave him a mischievous look, “dead serious.”

Jacen groaned.

“But in all seriousness,” Kanan continued, “someone else will guide you in the ways of the Force. Someone still living.”

“... Like Luke Skywalker? Do you want me to join his Jedi academy?”

“Oh, hell no. He's got enough on his hands - er, hand - with that lot he's got now. No... there's someone else I want you to seek out.”

“There's someone else besides Luke? Who?” Jacen could feel his excitement rising. Everyone always said that Luke was the last of the Jedi, but if there was someone else…

“He'll be difficult to find.”

“Who?”

“My former padawan.”

“ Who?! ”

“Ezra Bridger.”

Jacen gasped. “Really? He's out there? Aunt Sabine and Ahsoka went searching for him ages ago, but they still haven't come back!”

“Then I guess you’ll have to find them, too.” The edges of his father's form started glowing a soft white; the reunion of father and son was almost at its end.

“Wait, but how will I find them?” Desperation was creeping into the undertones of Jacen's voice.

“You’ll find your way. I have faith in you.” Kanan reached out and placed a hand on Jacen's shoulder. Though his body was rapidly dematerializing, the touch was surprisingly solid.

“But I don't even know where to start! Please, don't go !” Jacen cried out as he felt the void around him shift, causing his stomach to flip and the shape of Kanan Jarrus to further dematerialize.

“Do not be afraid. Trust in yourself. Trust in the Force. For I will always be with you…”

Vertigo overtook Jacen and he found himself lying flat on his back, staring up at the twin moons of Lothal.

“... my son ,” the words hung on the wind, whispering before it left to dance in the tall grass.

Jacen slowly sat up, wiping dirt from his tear-stained face. He was alone in the clearing, his speeder still parked at the edge of the field right where he'd left it. Getting up and brushing off his pants, he made his way over to the bike. Jacen's hand trembled when he held on to one of the handlebars.

What… what just happened?

Am I seriously going to become a Jedi? Just like my father?

He heard a rustling off to the side. Whirling around, he laid eyes on the white Lothcat, sitting innocently in front of the tall grass and watching him expectantly.

Jacen nervously chuckled as he tried to calm his racing heart. “Hey there, little guy. You wouldn't happen to know where I can find Ezra, do you?”

The white Lothcat simply gave him a knowing look and meowed.

‘I Lost 7kg of Fat on this Weight Lifting Program'

Okay, so I’m no stranger to a transformation challenge. In 2017, I took part in a staff 12-week challenge and dropped 10% body fat, looking and feeling leaner. But after 12 weeks of gruelling HIIT training—dubbed the best cardio for weight loss—and a very strict diet, it’s fair to say I fell off the bandwagon. And when I say fell, I mean I spectacularly tumbled off the wagon and into a proverbial pile of everything I’d tried so hard to avoid over the past 12 weeks.

Without having the structure of a transformation plan I’d lost my gym mojo; feeling lost without the regiment of the classes or someone (even a booking system) to be held accountable to.

Combined with a new-found love of peanut butter, before I knew it, the majority of the weight was back on and I didn't know where to begin in the gym.

I realised my personal gym knowledge was, well, average to poor. As a former cardio queen, my workouts would start on the running machine and end on the cross trainer until I’d burnt at least 600 calories. Give me a weight bench and I probably would’ve taken a seat to scroll through Instagram.

So, I made a vow with myself to stop the endless hours of cardio purely for calorie burn and educate myself on how to go to the gym, and learn to lift weights.

Enter Evolve’s 12-week transformation plan, designed to get you leaner and stronger with minimal cardio and a lot of picking up and putting down heavy stuff – otherwise known as strength training.

Evolve claim to help you make ‘big changes and kick bad habits so you can achieve things that you once thought unachievable’. I instantly save images of Steph Claire-Smith to my camera roll for inspo – time to make the un-achievable, achievable.

My weight lifting for weight loss routine

My training routine began with three sessions a week, which after two weeks increased to 4 sessions. My head trainer, Otaniyien Ekiomado designed a strength training program for me and along with a protein-rich and low(er) carb diet.

A typical full-body training workout:

A1 - Deadlift: 4 x 10

A2 - Bench press: 4 x 10

A3 - Rope slams : 4 x25

B1 - Static lunge: 4 x 12

B2 - Knee-high: 4 x 12

B3 - Single arm row: 4 x 10

C1 - Sled push-pull: 3

C2 - Med ball slam with walkout: 3 x 15

C3 - Burpees: 3 x 15

You do all the A exercises together before moving onto B then C. The first number is the sets and the second is reps. E.g. 4 x 12 is four sets and 12 reps.

Learning about the benefits of weight training:

In the first week, I was introduced to two new exercises; the squat and the deadlift. I later realised these big lifts were key to my training.

By focusing on compound movements like squats and deadlifts, these help to 'stimulate the most amount of muscles with one movement,' Otaniyien tells me. One simple move to combine all muscles? Sounds like a transformation dream – that is until you’ve tried squatting your own bodyweight. Not as simple as I first thought…

As well as a traditional barbell squat, I also learnt how to nail a front squat – similar to the back squat except with the barbell across your shoulders.

Otaniyien recommended I stick to these, as my calves are tighter than a pair of Lululemon leggings. They also allowed me to get the depth that a back squat just couldn’t deliver. Front squats are great as they not only target your quads and glutes, but also fire up your core as you keep the barbell level and lifted on your shoulders.

Note: you will get a sexy pair of bruises on each shoulder, but they’ll go nicely with the calluses on the palm of your hands from deadlifting. Who said strength training was pure glamour?

Summary: “Hey!” Zeb caught her at the ramp. “You have GOT to be kidding me.” “Why?” “Because that child is about to drop out of you at any moment, that’s why!” “It’s not an X-wing, Zeb. G Force isn’t that bad in the Ghost.” “So you’re going to fly into battle?” ... Yavin IV was busy, busy, busy. One of their spies had tied Order 13 to a program called “Stardust,” and they had something to do at last, just trying to unwind it all. Some sort of doomsday machine.

“Better that than those Defenders,” Hera remarked.

“Would you rather fight one convor the size of a rancor,” Zeb asked, “or a hundred rancors the size of convors?”

Sabine had come back from Lothal with her. “You’re funny,” she told Zeb.

“Hey, trying times! Somebody’s got to make an attempt at humor.”

“And we appreciate the attempt, Zeb,” Hera said, patronizing.

“You two always team up on me! I miss the boys.”

Sabine stuck her tongue out at him.

By night they were reading everything they could about babies, scrambling to get ready. “These texts are stupid!” Sabine would complain, waving a datapad. “They give directly contradictory information! And then they tell you you’re evil if you don’t do what they say.”

“What I want to know is how any babies have managed to survive at all, if you judge by the number of things you can screw up,” Zeb commented.

Chopper didn’t think it would be very hard. Ten pound Kanan Jarrus had to be easier to control than the larger version.

“Show me the science behind any of this!” Sabine continued her tirade. “This is all just opinion. Somebody has to have done good double blind studies on babies somewhere in this galaxy.”

When her own soon-to-be-baby kept her from sleeping, Hera scoured the holonet for anything related to hybrid Twi’lek/Human children. Despite the presence of what had to have been millions of children, they were statistically so rare that the medical studies weren’t particularly… informative. She had to resort to getting information from that least trustworthy of holonet locations, the messageboard. She took everything with about fifty grains of salt. “A hybrid child is special,” one woman wrote, just before advising sticking magnets to the baby’s skin to call down Force powers. Hera rolled her eyes. One father very practically advised: “Raise them somewhere diverse and the identity crisis won’t be much.” A third brutally honest mother said, “If you’re a human woman, just go straight for the c-section. It’s going to happen anyway.”

And there were pictures… A three-year-old with short lekku and marbled skin. A ten-year-old who had just won a sports tournament standing next to his father, whom he looked nothing like. A little girl with blue skin and two blue ponytails in place of lekku. Most of those children made through genetic matching and implanted embryos, wanted and tried for for years…

Most hybrid pregnancies didn’t make it, she discovered, the genetics too mismatched to create a viable child. Those invariably ended in early pregnancy, though, and the consensus was that any fetus who made it this far was probably safe. Hera recalled the weirdly appropriate adage about not counting your chickens before they’d hatched, but she wasn’t too worried. Any kid that could kick like that was bound to be healthy. And he looked good on all the scans.

The scans…

“Everything in the right place, everything the right size,” the technician had said at her last visit. “He’s playing with his hands. And look at this! Do you see that?”

Hera did not.

“He’s already got hair.”

Hair. Her child.

She should really have seen that coming, but it completely floored her.

She was thirty-nine weeks along—nearly full term for a human, not quite full term for a Twi’lek—when the Battle of Scarif took place. And she was too kriffing fat to make it to the war room when they called her.

But she heard the speech the Erso girl gave in replay, and she could have kicked herself for not being there to give it momentum. “What chance do we have?” They were Hera’s own words, angrier and more jaded, perhaps, more desperate, but the sentiment the same. “The question is what CHOICE?” Fight now or die.

When the klaxons went off, Hera all but ran towards the Ghost.

“Hey!” Zeb caught her at the ramp. “You have GOT to be kidding me.”

“Why?”

“Because that child is about to drop out of you at any moment, that’s why!”

“It’s not an X-wing, Zeb. G Force isn’t that bad in the Ghost.”

“So you’re going to fly into battle?”

Objectively, was her child’s life was more valuable than her own, or Zeb’s, or that of anybody else in the galaxy who would be murdered if they didn’t succeed? “Yes,” she answered.

“Hera, you’re—”

“Look,” she snapped. “It’s now or never for this fight. I’d rather have him die clean, not knowing any pain, than be hunted slowly, terrified. Or taken into some camp…” She trailed off. Did Zeb even know what she was imagining? Where did he think those Inquisitors came from? No, she’d rather have her child die now, with her.

Not that dying was going to happen.

“I’ve got nose gun,” Sabine called.

“Okay, okay,” Zeb grumbled. “IF you’re really going, nobody’s getting turret gun but me!”

From the Phantom’s rear guns, Chopper demanded to know what they were waiting for.

“Good, then,” Hera grinned. “Let’s go take some back from the Empire.”

Rex waved them off. “Good luck!”

“We don’t need luck!” Sabine told him. “We’ve got the Force!”

…

Scarif. Graveyard, the word would come to mean. Hera flew like she’d never flown in her life, the hundreds of ships around her tinged with light at the corners of her vision, her hands and mind just a half-step ahead of the chaos. This, strangely, was her peak. She kept them alive.

But they had to get that stupid kriffing planetary shield down. “Are you listening to the Admiral? Bombing runs!” she shouted over the chaos on the comms. “Aim for the ring! None of this matters if you don’t get the shield down!” They were still just flying defensive though, few of them even able to mount a run. And those who did were blown into shrapnel after one pass.

“Karabast!” Zeb had missed a line-up shot at two TIEs. It had been a bad angle anyway, and if they’d stayed there for another three seconds to get the shot, another fighter would have finished them off quickly.

“Hey!” Hera called over the pilot’s channel. “HEY! Get your heads on and work together! Y-wings make the bombing strikes, X-wings run defensive! Holy Force, people, get in the game!”

After that they got a couple more shots in. And then Admiral Raddus brought in the new hammerhead corvette, that beautiful beast of a ship, and Hera got to watch one of the more glorious wrecks of her career, that thing diving and just PLOWING through metal and it was… victory.

Pyrrhic victory.

They’d gotten the information out. Vader’s ship chased the Tantive IV away just before they jumped, but Tantive was fast, and they’d make it.

The Ghost came out of hyperspace a short jump later, one of the three steps that would take them back to Yavin.

“Holy kriff, Hera, that was some flying!” Sabine declared.

“Yeah.” She was still waiting for her breathing to recover. The Ghost’s shields were at more than half.

“You know if they chase Tantive IV down, they’re going to be coming for Yavin next,” Zeb told her.

“Yeah.”

“Did you SEE that thing? It’s operational.”

Chopper suggested several rude technical malfunctions he’d like to perform on that thing.

“Yeah, Chop, you show them.” Hera rolled her eyes.

“Hera—” From the nose gun, Sabine turned to look up at her, that straight-browed fretful face that she made. “Don’t go back to Yavin. It’s time for a break. Fly to Lothal.”

Her stomach twisted painfully at the suggestion. No, not her stomach—her uterus was taking up all the room these days.

“You can comm them that you’ve gone on leave. You should have gone a week ago.”

She did feel a little funny. Post-battle adrenaline probably, but who was to say?

“Okay.”

“Really?”

“Chopper, get down here and chart a course for Lothal.”
