“Ketsu Onyo!” Sabine Wren whirled from the Ghost’s control panel and stared at Hera, the Twi’lek leader of Phoenix Squadron.

“Ketsu is willing to help us with this mission? Great! We could use her skills.”

Ketsu was Sabine’s oldest friend from the Imperial Academy, but they hadn t parted on the best terms. Ketsu took up with a criminal

group called Black Sun—a rough crowd. She showed up trying to steal a droid carrying intelligence while Sabine was on a rebel mission. In the old days, the two of them had worked like one mind in separate bodies. But Ketsu seemed different when Sabine saw her again—harder, angrier. They almost dueled, and Sabine had wondered if Ketsu might really kill her. But then they were discovered by Imperial forces. With their old combination of guts and brains, they had escaped—together.

Ever since, Sabine had hoped that Ketsu might come back, work with the rebels. She’d been pressing Hera to get Ketsu on a good rebel mission—to convince her that she had a place in the Rebellion.

Hera turned from the radar screen, her brow creased.

“Ketsu has left Black Sun. I know her skills are considerable. But you will remember that Ketsu was not ready to join the Rebellion when we last met her. If she has changed her mind, she hasn’t told me. She is willing to help us with this mission. But that’s all she would commit to.”

They were nearing Garel City, where the mission was to secure food rations for those in need.

“I’ll drop you near the spaceport. You’ll meet Ketsu there.”

Sabine nodded and sighed. “All right,” she said. “I understand.”

Hera calmly steered the Ghost through space. Below them, the lights of Garel twinkled brighter and brighter as they approached the planet. She kept an eye out for a hangar where she could set down the Ghost and spoke without turning.

“It is not always easy to convince someone to join the Rebellion, Sabine. Remember that. Remember how you yourself had to be convinced. She must have the will to join with others to increase her strength—something you need to remember, as well, since you hold yourself away from others so often.”

She spun around and fixed Sabine with a stern look. Sabine dropped her eyes.

“Ketsu is used to working alone, and only

for profit. I don’t know if she will give that up—yet.”

Hera turned back to the controls.

“Garel City approaching. Prepare to land for mission drop-off.”
