It would be unfair not to reblog this
This thought came to me at work today, but what if at one point the Marauder kept having issues with its navigation system or something?? And Hunter kept filing reports for it, but since he’s kinda lazy when it comes to reporting he just writes “tech issues” and hits submit
And then one day he gets a call from Cody, and Cody is like, “hey, uh…is Tech okay??” And Hunter’s like, what do you mean. And then Cody produces three months’ worth of reports that say “tech issues” and goes, “Well, apparently, he’s having problems…”
Crosshair never lets him live it down
I said this to a friend once about Mandalorian S3, because I saw/heard people shipping Din and Bo-Katan and like. Idk if I really get the romantic vibe from them but I do get the “married for no other reason than tax benefits and are completely fine with that” vibe. Din wants to go bathe in the water of their obliterated home planet for moral redemption? Bo-Katan is like “ugh fine but you have to let me navigate.” Bo-Katan wants to take back their obliterated home planet? Din is like “do it homie, I’ll bring my kid, it’ll be fun.” No romance. Just support and tax benefits. It’s lowkey such a vibe
Shep: you know what the best thing about being a father is? Getting to teach your kid the most important life lessons, and watch them use them.
Tech: oh yes, absolutely. I will never forget the deep feeling of pride I felt the first time I saw Omega correctly splice into an Imperial database. Or the joy of watching her re-wire her first bomb. And of course, watching her become more accurate with her laser bow has been a privilege. She is truly a formidable opponent. Not to mention her skills with stealth and reconnaissance, or her growing aptitude as a pilot and mechanic.
Shep:
Shep: well I really meant like, friendship and integrity
Tech: oh. Well, that too.
DYING pleeeeease 😂😂
How Phee (should have) seduced Tech:
As the sun sets on the Pabu sea, the lights of the village come on from the shore up the hill.
Phee: Pretty spectacular, right?
Tech: I suppose...that is one way to quantify it.
Phee (leans in, softly): Technically, that was a qualification.😏
Tech: (the goggle fidgeting intensifies)😳
“I’d say he’s more bark than bite, but he shoots things for a living. So.”
—Echo, about Crosshair, at some point probably
Well NOW I DO
Do you think Hunter, Wrecker, Echo and Crosshair ever think about how the first mission given to the them by the empire was to kill Saw and they didn't because they knew it was wrong and valued human life, only for Saw to not see their lives the same and be fine with Tech being his collateral damage?
You can’t tell me that the bad batch didn’t make an epic battle entrance while blasting “Welcome to the Jungle” from the Marauder’s speakers at least once
So like yes, I know that Wrecker and Hunter probably would have teased Tech about Phee, but like. You know that those boys were thrilled. Hunter and Wrecker are just watching Tech and Phee get closer and closer and Hunter feels so soft and happy inside because maybe they really do have a shot at this normal life thing, and Wrecker feels so much pride in his brother for taking the first steps really truly outside of their lives as soldiers and runaways. And I just. AH
Hunter wasn’t jealous watching Omega chew on a toothpick just like Crosshair. He just knew her sarcastic potential and was terrified that Crosshair would turn her into his evil, sassy prodigy, and he only has the mental capacity to deal with one of those in his squad
Tech: *storms into the cockpit* Crosshair, I need you to shoot Wrecker.
Crosshair: done.
Echo: wait, wait, wait. Don’t you wanna know why first?
Crosshair: *cocks rifle* of course not. Might make me change my mind.
What do you think was the first little spat that Tech and Echo had, I have my theories but I’m curious 👀
