It was just his luck and apparently Jyn’s too, that the ship they were on decided to have some serious, serious engine malfunction. Cassian had had absolutely no choice but to land on a planet that looked more barran than anything he had bore witness to in his life. But the ship would not make it to any of the known planets in this sector so he really didn’t have any choice. As it was, as they broke through the atmosphere, the ship began to shake and Cassian fought to keep it level, with the hopes of giving them as safe a landing as was possible given the state of the ship. It was still a bad landing but in the grand scheme of things, neither of them were hurt.  Once the ship was down, Cassian unstrapped himself and looked over at Jyn, “Are you alright?” As he waited for her to answer, he climbed out of the seat and began checking the diagnostics. It wasn’t looking good and with no parts to fix things with he wasn’t really sure what he could do. He attempted to contact Yavin 4 but it seemed as though all lines of communication were almost down. In a fit of frustration, Cassian kicked at the communications unit and then took a deep breath to calm himself down. Once he had, he glanced at Jyn, pursing his lips a little. “We’re stranded.” There was a desperation to his tone that he hadn’t ever heard before. There was too much to do, toom uch at stake for him and Jyn to get stranded right then. He lent against the side of the ship and scrubbed a hand over his face. “I’ll have to assess the damage....I might be able to fix it, but i might not. And unless we get the communications links working well...” He let out a sigh and dropped his head, “...we might be here for a while.” It was definitely a dire situation they were finding themselves in and he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to fix the ship. He knew how to fix certain things but until he got down to looking at everything, he wouldn’t be sure just how catastrophic their situation was going to be.

                        Chewie && Han shared a look —— just what had they gotten themselves into ?? ( as if they weren’t in enough trouble as it was ). Calloused hands steered the falcon, jaw clenched as he saw SOMEONE coming after them. Only this time, he was sure it wasn’t for him for once, but for their new passenger. 

        His fingers raise to rub his temples. Stars help him, he’s stranded on a ship with a bunch of children, and two of them are having another shouting match. He’s too old for this. Far too old for this. This one, right here - this one is about to go to war, too. And she can barely keep her hair out of her face.

        Somehow, he NEVER imagined his travels would land him on Naboo of all places. And yet, there had been a secret dispatch smuggled to the alliance, word of someone with a secret to tell. Something about a rumored lover of Lord Vader’s. The very thought made him shudder, wondering how anyone could stand being in the presence of that creature. He was on his way to meet his informant when he felt light fingers find purchase on the blaster hidden on his waist. His own fingers were quick to wrap around a slim wrist, the pressure enough to cease all movement.

Life was so unbalanced now and although Cassian was used to it being this way, going into what could be the biggest fight of his life was slightly dautining to the proud Captain. He knew things would have eventually reached the level they were now but for it to happen so soon, he wasn’t sure how to react. All he knew was that he was going to fight. Jyn had made them all certain with her devotion, that this whole thing was possible. They had the chance to save a lot of people, he’d do it in a heartbeat. He’d die for this fight if he had to. “You did your father proud today....we will do whatever you need us to when we go to Scarif....” It was true, they would but Cassian himself had become close to the young woman. He wanted to protect her but he knew that was something she wouldn’t allow. They would do this together, no matter what the outcome.
