#partagaz

The man saw the writing on the wall four years ahead of anyone else he worked alongside.

I was actually trying to do a compilation of all the scenes where Dedra says thank you and the one time she almost says it to Syril, and I could have sworn she says it to Heert, but she just says "good work". The only time she ever really says it is to Partagaz, twice. So I wonder if she believes that showing gratitude is only appropriate when dealing with superiors and that she doesn't need to say thank you for anything anyone does for her because it's just a performance of duty and the only thing that matters is whether someone does a good job or not. Nothing has ever been done for her out of kindness. Only in exceptional cases (e.g. when someone saves her life) does she think about saying thank you and even then she has a hard time with it. And I wonder if Syril is the only one who has ever thanked her, and if that's why she finds him so irritating. She has simply done her duty. She's not doing anyone any favors. And she certainly doesn't want to appear weak by showing kindness.

in light of the series finale of the Bad Batch, I have made this Fic set during the time of Rogue One in which CT-9902 “Tech” uses his CX training as CX-2 against the Empire by acting as a Double Agent and considering his exceptional mind, Tech would make sure none of the imperial leadership will ever learn of his double status. In fact he will use the coldness given to him by the late Dr. Royce Hemlock from his CX conditioning to full advantage to the point that as an acting high ranking ISB Agent (rank of Intelligence Marshal), no would dare question Tech. Not of all. Additionally, he would be Luthen Rael’s secret contact! With such demeanor, Tech would weaken the empire from within all while having high security clearance to the most confidential Imperial secrets. Tech would use his CX training to secretly assassinate several Imperial officers who pose a threat to not just him but the rebellion and he would subtly blow many imperial ships just to avenge the Marauder he had blown up and prior to that, he had returned to Pabu to desperately retrieve all past records of Clone Force 99’s highly classified missions that are salvageable and then Tech would have a deep and serious conversation with Shep Hazard with Tech giving a serious look to Shep and apologizing about everything and that the next imperial who tries to arrest will have to go through Tech and that if it comes to that. Tech would use his CX training and his high ranking position in the ISB as a double agent to threaten them with telling Tarkin about their failure and that Pabu is of no interest to the Empire.
