Hondo's Ship, Somewhere in Hyperspace, Sunday

[snipsnspecks]

Ahsoka woke to the blue light and buzzing in her teeth and montrals that came with being suspended in a containment field, an experience she only wished she was unfamiliar with.

Well, great, that had been a shockingly unsurprising turn of events. What was Hondo playing at?

"Exactly, we're having a wonderful friendly chat right now." Well, he was.

"So, as I was saying, we were talking about that time you kept me from my crystals." So unfair of her, preventing him from stealing from children. "When I realised something."

Saying Ahsoka had a bad feeling about this would imply she actually hadn't at some point.

"Oh, no."

[hondo_yes]

"Well, kyber crystals were priceless even then," Hondo said, talking over her commentary. "But now? The Empire does not like people trying to trade in those crystals, not mention you need a Jedi to find them in the first place, and well... that whole tragic business."

'That whole tragic business' was one way to describe it, though right this moment Ahsoka was more concerned with the fact she could see exactly where this was headed.

"Oh, no."

[hondo_yes]

Hondo continued as if she hadn't spoken. That was going to be a theme over the next few days. "So I will get us there, you will find us some crystals, and we'll both be rich."

This was a brilliant plan.

"Hondo, that is a terrible plan."

Especially since it was nowhere near as simple as Jedi goes looking for crystals, Jedi finds crystals.

"We can work on the details as we go," Hondo replied, waving a hand dismissively.

An alarm started beeping. "Ah we're almost there," he said, hitting a control to shut off the containment field. "Come along, Ahsoka, profit awaits!"

Ahsoka would have appreciated a bit of warning there, Hondo. Picking herself up off the floor, she scrambled after him. "Hondo, wait, almost where?"

Had a bad feeling didn't even begin to cover it.
