Y/N's P.O.V.
"Took you long enough, Mando." Toro spoke, pushing me forward, out of the Razor Crest and Mando raised his blaster.
He held the child with one arm and he used his free hand to point a blaster at my head. Peli was stood next to me and the poor woman was too terrified to do anything.
"Looks like I'm calling the shots now, huh, partner? Drop your blaster and raise 'em, or I'm going to kill you and your girlfriend." Mando did as he was told, dropping his blaster to the ground.
"Cuff him." Toro pushed Peli forward and I kept my expression neutral.
"I'm willing to bet that this here is the target you two helped escape. Fennec was right. Bringing you two in won't just make me a member of the Guild, it'll make me legendary." Mando let off a flash bomb and it hurt my eyes, but it also gave me an opportunity. I ducked away from Toro, snatching the child from his arms, before blindly running towards what I hoped was cover. A burning sensation hit my shoulder and I gasped in pain, the pain becoming almost unbearable.
"Stay back." I heard Mando say carefully as I held the child close to my chest, my eyesight slowly coming back.
"Y/N?" Mando called out.
"Yeah?" I winced as I moved towards his voice.
"You're hurt." Mando spoke, before the child was taken from my arms.
"You did just set off a flash bomb and my eyes are burning, so a little warning would be nice next time." I laughed weakly, before a hand touched my shoulder and an involuntary whimper escaped my throat.
"Y/N, this is bad." Mando spoke softly.
"It will be fine. Once I can see properly again, I'll deal with it." I stepped back, almost falling over something, but Mando caught me.

"Thanks." I muttered.
"Come on." He led me inside the Razor Crest, before making me sit down. It was probably for the best, the pain in my shoulder was making my head spin and it was exhausting.
I heard him clearing things up with Peli, before he placed the child in my lap. My vision was blurry, but I could faintly see colours, so that was a good sign.
"I'm going to get us off of Tatooine and I'll chart our course, then I'll be back to look at your shoulder."
"I can-"
"I'm not arguing with you about this." He muttered, before going up to the cockpit. I simply sighed, listening to the child's babbles whilst I waited. By the time he was back, I could mostly see, everything was just a little blurry and my eyes had stopped hurting as much.
"Here." He moved the child out of my lap, before sitting behind me.
"How did Toro manage get a blaster to your head?" His tone of voice was light and it was clear he was trying to take my mind off the burning pain that seemed to be spreading down my arm.
"I left the child with Peli for a few minutes and when I got back, he was waiting. He made me throw my blaster and dagger in here, somewhere out of the way, and then he got me, simple." I clenched my jaw when his hand touched my arm.
"I need to remove the material if I'm going to do this properly." Mando muttered and I sighed.
"Just rip it. It's ruined already and I have a spare." He did as instructed and I groaned in pain as he pressed something to the wound.
"How bad is it?" I asked, taking short breaths, my eyes closed tightly. I could feel the child pulling at my leg slightly, but I didn't look at him, too focused on not screaming. The pain was one of the worst things I had ever felt and I hated it.

"It could be worse." Mando sighed.
"After it's been cleaned and bandaged up, it should take a few weeks to heal." I nodded my head, knowing it was going to hurt a lot.
"I'm sorry." He spoke softly and I opened my eyes slightly, looking back at him.
"You haven't even started cleaning it yet and you're apologising?" I forced a smile onto my face, before turning back around.
"Just get it over with."
"No, I'm sorry that you got hurt. The flash bomb was a bad idea-"
"The flash bomb probably saved mine and the child's life." Instead of just turning my head, I turned my whole body towards Mando.
"As much as it sucks right now, it's better than being dead." His hand moved under my chin, lifting it up slightly, before turning my face to the side slightly. I sighed, knowing he had seen the faint bruising on my cheek.
"He hit you?" He asked, sounding somewhere between shocked and mad.
"He was reckless and stupid and look where it got him; dead." I shrugged.
"It doesn't matter what he did or didn't do-"
"He shot you and hit you. That matters." Mando replied stubbornly.
"I shouldn't have killed him like that. I should have made it last."
"Hey, don't go all creepy killer on me." I shook my head.
"Honestly, Mando, I just want to get my shoulder wrapped up and get some rest, if that's okay?"
"Yes, of course."

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
