Her eyes looked out through the small glass to see a large explosion before her. The ship they had once been on was now in small debris across the vast space around them. I can't believe I was on that cruiser, she thought in shock. Her eyes observed the fire soon fading from the destroyed ship, showing only the metal floating around the small escape pod they were in.

Slate bumped its small body against her leg, causing her to pat the small head. She didn't know what they would do since they had lost communication with Anakin and his padawan on the ship. Glancing around the small and cramped space pod they hopped on, her eyes went to a familiar clone who sat there staring at the space.

"Master," Lexi watched as the older man turned his chair to face her, she was unsure about the current situation they were in. In her eyes, it seemed like all power went out but wasn't too sure to test that theory. "Will Anakin come for us?"

Plo Koon rubbed his chin in thought on her question, she hoped he didn't listen to the council on staying on guard duty in his sector. In her years of knowing the reckless man, Lexi always saw him going against the council, doing it his way, and even engaging the enemy with tactics unknown to the jedi.

"Only the force knows his moves. We must survive on our own till help arrives." Plo Koon's voice held reason which Lexi didn't see like that. She didn't like trusting something that was there but also not.

Two clones took off their helmets to reveal their faces. She was uneasy with how everything was affected by the sudden blast. Leaving no survivors in its path but those who survived in the escape pods. "We've no engine, power." Wolffe began when running a hand through his hair. His voice held urgency and worry while addressing the issues formally. "Or life support recharge."

Lexi looked around the cramped pod while the two clones glanced at each other. "So we will sit here?"

Lexi shot Sinker a glare who raised his hands in surrender causing Boost to chuckle softly but regain his composure. "Someone will come looking for us, right?"

"They will. After the interaction and sudden loss of communication, someone will come to find us," Lexi spoke before her master with a determined face. Let's hope Walker came hurry it up. Rolling her eyes in annoyance and frustration, her gaze went to her master.

"Let's get the power restored, so we are here to be found." Plo Koon finally spoke when all eyes went to the Jedi knight. Nodding to herself, she turned to get Slate to help them restore the power. However, she found the droid unresponsive. Holding back a groan, she didn't know what else could go wrong.

Boost and Sinker went to the control panel in hopes of getting power back on.  Plo Koon stood up with his arms crossed as Wolffe seemed a bit down. Deciding to see if the two boys needed help, Lexi knelt causing the clone to pause in his movements.
