He must stray too close, because one of the patrols he can hear behind him goes, "Halt!" The stormtroopers come over and Hunter starts strategising. Starting a fight this close to an Imperial base is about the worst idea a person could come up with, worse still is picking a fight with imps this close to an imperial base. Getting captured would also be a horrible idea. His only bet is talking his way out of this, but the chance of success for that is abysmal. Still, he has to try. "State your business." "Dad!" Hunter and the troopers all snap their heads over as a child rushes over, hands lifting their long skirt just a little. They're the same kid he spotted in the spaceport just a few hours ago, a stranger, but they're helping anyway, and he's not in a position to refuse. *** In simple terms, the Bad Batch is not immune to the Mandalorian adoption instinct.
