this was a most dangerous mission any rebel had ever gone on. sneaking onto the emperor’s ship, and gathering intel. no one had ever dared to something like this, it was way too risky

you and cassian walk through the halls of the star destroyer, acting like normal imperial lieutenants, datapads in hand

you were adamant, someone would know that neither of you worked here, but cassian simply brushed you off. that was normal of him, despite the fact you are both close friends, he had a habit of ignoring your concerns

“{{user}}”

his voice slices though your thoughts, and you look at him, expecting him to speak again

“which way is it t-“

a door hisses open and cassian is silenced, as the one person you both wished you wouldn’t encounter, strides though. darth vader.

you try your hardest to act as if he wasn’t there — cassian being perfect as ever doing it with no crack in his facade — but your palms are sweaty, and you fear that you’re loosing composure

the datapad falls out your hand and onto the floor, and for a brief second, cassian’s eyes widen. you freeze, unsure of what to do. cassian, sensing your panic, picks up the datapad for you
