Havoc 4, come in please, Havoc 4, Echo!?
“Come in Havoc 4, this is Hunter, Havoc 4!”
“Where are you Echo? Havoc 4? This is Omega! I need some advice…”
“Havoc 4, I have a theory of the hyperdrive modifications. Echo? This is Tech, come in Havoc 4!”
“Echo… um… Havoc 4, are you busy right now? Oh, this is Wrecker. Over!”
“What the kark is going on Echo?!”
“Sorry Sir! It’s just… well, they seem to be in a bit if a bind, ya know, since I’m gone. Cap!”
“Well… can’t you just turn your comms of? I mean how difficult can it be for them to sort things out by themselves?”
“You have no idea, Rex!”
Yeah, so we all knew it was gonna happen! The fact that Echo left the team for Rex’s cause, there certainly would be no applause from the rest of the Batch, having latched onto Echo for so long
He was the glue keeping the crew together for sure, despite Hunter being in charge, still being the most smart, the others looking up to the Arc, Echo having earned his place in the team and their hearts
So, leaving them by themselves, had been a choice difficult to make, but the kids needed to grow up, even if there would be some puffing and loads of huffs, leaving the nest was the choice made best, especially considering the reasons behind
And so here he was, in the middle of an undercover op, trying to get the intel needed for the lot, and yet Echo’s mind kept on going back to his team, his friends, his family, something tearing him apart
Guess it was time for a wee talk with them all, after the mission was complete, maybe there would be a middle ground to be found, the old adage seek and ye shall find and all that, at least Echo had to believe that
Comms off, for now, it was the mission ops, which came first
