"We're on a schedule here," Kanan said over his shoulder from the alley's entrance. He stood with his blaster half-raised, attention split between the street outside and Sabine. For her part, Sabine seemed to be ignoring him, instead calmly painting her newest starbird on the wall.

"We're doing fine on time. Our window is still wide open." A little more ochre, she thought and made the adjustment to her paint sprayer before she worked on shading the wings.

"If we're late, Specter 4 will worry."

"We have plenty of time."

Spotting stormtroopers rounding the corner and onto the street, Kanan ducked back into the alley and ran over to Sabine. "Not any more. Bucketheads."

"I'm done...no, wait." One quick touch up and then she holstered her sprayer to pull her blasters. "Now I'm done."

"You know, these missions would go smoother if you didn't feel the need to paint something every time." Kanan half-sung as they ran from Sabine's latest work. "I do like the new design though."

"The missions would go smoother if you'd allow for more variables."

"Do you really need to paint something every time? Maybe you should mix it up, do it every other time?"

"Yes and no."

"Mind telling me why?"

Sabine was about to reply when she noticed a notification on her helmet's display. Nothing pressing, just a reminder, but it still made her silent as she ran. Sensing something was wrong, Kanan looked over and asked, "Specter 5?"

"I'll explain why some other time, like when we aren't running from bucketheads."
