Sabine hears Hera’s orders, which condemn Kanan to the Imperials, and can’t believe her ears. It’s not that the orders are wrong exactly–tactically they’re sound–but she never though Hera could be so disciplined.

Ezra freaks out, of course, and makes a scene as he nearly storms out of the galley. A large part of Sabine agrees with him, but she’s still conflicted. There has to be a reason for the order.

Soon after, Zeb mumbles some excuse and heads for the Phantom or the cargo bay, Sabine isn’t quite sure. Which leaves her alone with Hera, as Chopper seems to have made himself scarce as well.

Takes a steadying breath, she breaks the silence. “I take it the mission is important, then? More important that any of us?”

Hera, meanwhile, has moved to the table, leaning over it and switching the holo of Imperial troop movements back on. Not to try to determine where Kanan is being held, but to note likely TIE flight patterns, in case they need a quick route off Lothal.

She looks up when Sabine speaks, listens without interruption, and then takes a breath before she answers.

"This is what it means to work for something bigger than yourself. You have to put yourself second to it."

She shakes her head, turning her gaze back to the holo. "There's as difference between leaving abandoning others because you don't care, and doing what you need to so you can live to fight another day. Sometimes survival is the brave choice."

"Can you pull a signal out? We should be able to hear the difference between those two options -- some of their flyboys get panicky when things don't go to plan."

And maybe . . .

No.

Hera's eyes flicker down from the holo.

After a deep breath, "Not this time."

"This was our mission, Sabine."

Hera looks back up. "We decided to do this. They can't be expected to take that kind of risk in something they never agreed to be a part of."

With a sideways glance at her, "And if we stumble on something, we can discuss it then."

But it's hard for her to imagine what intel would really change their situation.

"It's not about the choices we've made," Hera says, her voice still patient, for the moment. "It's about the risk to us, and to them. There are so many suffering under the Empire, people we haven't helped, we can't help because if we risk everything and lose..."

She shakes her head. "The last time we broke into an Imperial prison, it backfired and we were lucky to get out alive. The whole thing was a set up, and we just put Ezra in danger by exposing him to that Inquisitor. Now his voice is all over the holonet. What do you think the Empire will do to him if they catch him now?"

Hera's eyes turn back to the holo. "You must have some idea of what they do when they want to make an example."

Hera stays quiet for a moment, her eyes still on the holo.

"This is what this fight is. Every choice we make has a cost, can get people killed. Every job we've run could have ended in any or all of us dead. If –"

But she breaks off. She is not entertaining what-ifs today.

"I will not throw your lives away on a futile rescue. And Sabine?"

She looks back again, bracing herself, as she knows this part might not be well-received. "I've known Kanan longer than any of you. I can tell you he wouldn't want me to do that."

Hera turns her gaze away again. She considers saying something else, something more comforting, even apologetic. But she's not changing her mind, and she doubts that anything else really matters in this moment.

So she only nods, and answers, "All right."
