I FINALLY UPLOADED CHAPTER 1 OF THIS FIC! Read it here!

My Bad Batch AU, lovingly nicknamed “Five Clones and a Little Lady” because my creativity is running low and I can’t think of anything better right now

Hello pals!

Firstly thank you SO much for the love on my headcanon post about The Bad Batch raising Omega from a baby. I spent a whole day writing that and it honestly made me so happy to write.

Those headcanons were written as part of planning a new AU fic (and my first multi-chapter fic!), which the basic premise is exactly that; the Bad Batch raising baby Omega. I thought I would sum up the basic premise of it in this fic, and I’ll post the fic itself once it’s up! It’s still very much in planning stages but I hope you like what I’ve come up with so far. I’d also love to hear your thoughts!

This was written/devised with the help and suggestions of @scarlettroseog and @writegowrite. Thank you so much !

So, the premise:

Being emotionally attached to clones and being heartbroken seeing them die, this is an extremely idealistic galaxy. The Clone Wars have ended and the clones are free to live out the rest of their lives as they please. Also, to appease my soul, the clones we lost throughout the Clone Wars are…alive. Fives, Tup, Waxer, Jesse, they’re all here and they’re living their best post-Clone War lives. 

Don’t ask me what happened to end the war, or what happened to Anakin, Padme, Palps. I have no idea. They aren’t the focus so I haven’t even thought about it. All you need to know is that the clones are free and happy and the galaxy appears to be pretty okay. 

And the Bad Batch? They settled on a nice quiet planet, and built themselves a homestead just outside of the main town. They all work a few days a week each to have an income; Hunter works in carpentry (his talent for wood carving is unmatched), Wrecker in construction, and Echo and Tech run a repair shop where they fix all kinds of different things. As for Crosshair, he’s a bartender. I just saw that for him. It might also be because Crosshair on my Sims game is a very talented mixologist so I ran with that. At least I have some fun story ideas relating to his job. 

They’re not alone either. Our friend 99 lives just down the road in a home his honorary squad built for him, by a nice lake where he spends his days fishing and living peacefully. It goes without saying that he sees the Bad Batch almost daily. 

The Bad Batch live a combination of independently and collectively. They work together to maintain their home, but they don’t always make an effort to ensure they all eat together, for example. They enjoy each other’s company, of course they do, but they all have their own lives now, they’re not all fighting for the same objective anymore. 

That is, however, until an unexpected arrival shows up on their doorstep. A newborn baby girl with nothing but a note stating “this is your daughter, Omega”. But who’s daughter is she? Biologically, she’s the daughter of every single clone in the galaxy, so a paternity test is futile. Their solution? They are all her buir. All five of them step up to the ranks of fatherhood to raise little Omega in this new, peaceful galaxy. 

That being said, maybe, just maybe, one of the Bad Batch may know he’s her true buir, but chooses to keep it to himself.

This AU is intended to be almost purely fluff with maybe a hint of angst here and there. No major dramas, just five dads raising their daughter, with various cameos from Omega’s many, many, many, many clone uncles. It will likely be a set of one shots about different scenarios as Omega grows up.

It’s still in the early stages, I’ve written a few pieces here and there but am still plotting out the story. I hope you’ll be interested in reading once it’s ready!

UPDATE! I have finally uploaded the first chapter of this fic. Read it here!

The Bad Batch, if they had to raise Omega from a baby, because thinking of this makes me SOFT

This has sparked from me now plotting out an AU which is exactly this, the five of them raising baby Omega. Stay tuned for that, in the mean time have some headcanons. They’re specifically meant to be about the five of them raising Omega together, but definitely work for each of them with their own kids, so enjoy!

This post is gonna be long because I have so many thoughts. @scarlettroseog and I had the best time discussing these!!

Crosshair: Crosshair is the one who stares at baby Omega when they first get her and is just like “how do I pick it up”. Tech offers to show him a useful holovideo on how to safely hold a baby. Crosshair offers to throw Tech into hyperspace. Once he gets the hang of it though, Cross is a natural and can often be found asleep with a baby on his chest. He loves baby cuddles more than life itself, but he’ll be damned if he let’s anyone know it. He has to act like holding her is the biggest inconvenience you could ever ask of him, but if someone else offers to take her, he’ll refuse. He reminds them he never said he wouldn’t hold her. 

Very much a silent protector, Cross is always incredibly aware of his and Omega’s surroundings and is always looking out for her. He’s most at ease when Omega is still in his eyeline, but as long as she’s with one of the squad, he know she’s safe.

Crosshair is an utter softie and has been caught singing to her, and crying when she grabbed and clung to his finger for the first time. He talks to her in the softest voice, and when she starts to babble he talks back as if they’re having a conversation. Little Omega hangs onto his every word. The others don’t understand why he tries so hard to hide his affections, they all think its the cutest thing ever. 

Oh, and he absolutely has no qualms cursing around her. He secretly hopes Omega’s first word is kriff to see Hunter’s reaction.

Tech: This. Man. Tech disappears for a whole day when Omega lands in their care, and re-emerges a child rearing expert with a large shipment of baby supplies on its way to them. He has gone to the ends of the Holonet to research absolutely everything he needs to know and eagerly passes on his findings to the others. He’s an expert swaddler to the point the others usually just leave that job for him. He’s tried countless to teach the others, but Hunter especially just cannot get the hang of it. One time they find him sat shirtless with baby Omega on his chest, and he explains how he read that skin to skin contact is really good for newborns and helps them bond and feel safe. He suggests making a rota for skin to skin contact. Crosshair tells him to never say those words ever again. His enthusiasm comes from a place of absolute love, but he does have to be reminded to rein it in from time to time.

Tech absolutely documents EVERYTHING. He’s so in awe of this extraordinary tiny human and all her potential. He tracks and logs her development and milestones, he’s recorded her crying countless times to try and decipher what she needs from how she’s crying. He even develops a pretty successful formula to help her get to sleep. This guy is revolutionising child care over here. He allows the others to add to his notes with cute pictures and stuff, so its more of a baby book than a scientific log.

Despite his eagerness to learn and give Omega the best care he can, the change she brings to their entire lives does unsettle Tech a fair bit. New priorities, new routines, everything has changed in some way. He does acclimatise, helped by how he dives into learning how to care for her, but its a difficult transition at first.

Baby Omega gives Tech a sense of protectiveness he’s never experienced before. She brings his emotions to the surface more than anything else ever could. He records a lot of sounds of her growing up, and the sound of her first laugh might just be his favourite sound hes ever recorded. He finds himself listening to it if he’s away from her for whatever reason. When he’s working on projects, he likes having Omega to keep him company. He crafts a little baby chair to attach to his work table, and she sits and watches him work. He talks her through what he’s doing, knowing full well she has no idea what he’s saying, but her sweet little smile makes up for it.

Wrecker: None of them have EVER seen Wrecker so gentle and careful. They warned him once that she’s fragile, and they never had to warn him again. He is also swaddling expert second only to Tech - he asked Tech to teach him and practised over and over again on Lula until he got it. Considering Hunter cannot do it to save his life, he’s very proud of himself. This guy is so, so sweet with her, he simply cannot cope with how tiny and adorable she is and will not rest until he has gushed about it to anyone who will listen. He even turned an unused storage crate into a crib for her with all the blankets she could ever need. He puts Lula in there too, but the fact she’s bigger than Omega gives Hunter anxiety so she is still Wrecker’s until Omega is bigger.

Not to worry, though, because Omega spends more time sleeping in the arms of her ori'vod than in the crib anyway. Tech has insisted multiple times that they should allow her to get used to sleeping in her crib, but even he is guilty of falling asleep with the baby in his arms.

My friend has a headcanon that Wrecker knits in his spare time as a calming activity and oh boy am I running with this. Hats. Wrecker makes all the hats for tiny Omega, and all five of them cried the first time she wore one of his creations. He doesn’t just stop there, she has blankets, stuffies, bootees, Wrecker should start his own knitwear etsy shop at this point. He plans to donate omega’s knitted things to people in need when she grows out of them. Wrecker is at his happiest sat knitting with little Omega fast asleep on him.

Echo: oh my god do not get me STARTED. I’m crying already. Echo is the sweetest most gentle soul and Omega is such a calming presence to him, and he has the same effect on her. A cuddle with Echo and she’s out like a light, and Hunter definitely isn’t jealous.

Due to his scomp arm, he always asks for help to pick her up or take her into his arms. He usually puts a blanket or something around the scomp as well, he’s so afraid that he could hurt her or cause her discomfort with it. He can’t hide that it gets him down, he wants to help out with Omega as much as the others can, he wants to be able to pick her up on his own without assistance.

Hunter takes him aside and reassures him that he’s doing a great job and that Omega clearly feels safe with him regardless. He knows how self-conscious Echo can get about his appearance and his disabilities, and reminds him how much of an incredible role model he is for Omega. Tech is already hard at work, though. If he hadn’t already been working on a prosthetic arm for Echo, he was now and working double time. Seriously, no one knows if Tech is even getting any sleep. At least once they have to force him away from his work and hand him Omega to give him a moment to calm down and relax. In the meantime, Wrecker knits Echo a little scomp cover, and Hunter and Crosshair fashion slings out of spare blankets, so Echo can hold Omega more easily and in general so everyone can hold her hands-free if they need to do something else at the same time.

Echo cries the first time he picks Omega up on his own, and in the same moment, Omega smiles for the first time. Now Hunter is crying, Wrecker is crying (more because he had been trying so hard to get her to smile for him), and Tech is leaping over furniture so he can capture the moment in time. 

Hunter: The Dad™. Also a nervous wreck. Hunter is the one you’ll find watching Omega sleep and constantly checking she’s breathing. And waking the poor thing up on occasion, just to be sure. Omega coughs once and immediately, Hunter.exe has stopped working and he’s probably called an ambulance. He puts on a brave face, but in reality, he’s terrified. He’s trained for battle, not parenting. He doesn’t know the first thing about raising a baby, but with his squad behind him (particularly Tech’s extensive research), he knows he’ll be just fine. The one thing hes certain about, from the moment she is left in their care, is that he is never, ever going to let anyone hurt this little girl. Ever.

He is also the one with the rules; no weapons around the baby, no cursing around the baby, no throwing the baby (no one intends to do so, but he wanted to make that very clear just in case), and no eating while holding the baby, after Wrecker dropped half his lunch on her one time. Hunter didn’t find it as funny as Omega did. 

His heightened senses come in very handy, he can often sense just moments before the crying starts, and unfortunately for him, he knows before anyone else when she needs changing. At times, the crying takes it’s toll and can contribute to a sensory overload, but with the rest of his squad on hand to help, that’s rarely an issue. If it isn’t his turn for night duty, he has his noise cancellers in, otherwise he’ll be waking up every time Omega does. He finds her presence calming like Echo does, she’s so peaceful when asleep, and her big brown eyes are so alight with curiosity when she’s awake. Hunter finds himself watching her silently observing the world around her, and enjoys going for walks with her strapped to his chest so he can show her just a little bit more of the world. Someday, he’ll show her the galaxy.

BONUS HEADCANONS:

- At first, the five of them end up doing everything together. Baby check up? All five of them are piled in that doctor’s office. Baby music class? It was Wrecker’s idea, but all five of them come along. After a while they learn that not every situation requires all five of them.

- Tech suggested making a baby care rota, but they didn’t need one. They just kind of manage to balance out the tasks and the cuddle time. Except Hunter. Hunter is selfish. Hunter will straight up steal the baby from one of his brothers when he decides it’s his turn for cuddles. The only exception to this is Echo. Hunter will never steal Omega from Echo.

Sorry for this absolute essay. I put more effort and focus into this today than I did at work. This has also helped massively in plotting out a couple fics surrounding The Bad Batch and a baby Omega. I cannot cope with the amount of fluff I’ve written today. 

Please let me know what you think, add some suggestions! I had a great time writing this and want to write some more headcanons for similar scenarios!

💀BAD BATCH WEEK: DAY 2💀

@bad-batch-week

I had to create something new for this one 💜 the prompt today was "favourite dynamic" so...I had to draw Tech again 🤣

Let it be known I am highly fixated on the dynamics between ALL the batch. I love them all so much and their relationships with each other. But I really love both Tech and Echo's dynamic with Omega the most, probably because they're my three favourites. Their dynamics (especially Tech & Omega) are more in the background but I still love them, and I love spotting the little unspoken moments! I find their relationship so sweet, perhaps not quite as obviously warm and emotional as Omega with someone like Hunter or Wrecker, but Tech sees her as capable and is always teaching her things, and she's always helping him out! That, and I think she's the only one who truly listens to his info dumping, and I think he appreciates that 🥰 she would definitely be asking him all kinds of questions all the time (like tookas, I'm sure Tech would tell her that Lula is based on a tooka!) I hope to get more Tech and Omega moments in the next season!

Also...I really love drawing Tech with curly hair, and inspired by his lil punk rocker style he had after getting his chip removed 😁

I'm back to work tomorrow so not sure how many more days I can do, but I'll certainly try!

BAD BATCH WEEK: DAY 1

@bad-batch-week

I haven't had much chance to prepare for this week but I've thankfully got some unfinished drawings from Inktober to rescue me. I'm not sure if I can create something everyday this week but I'll certainly try!!

Today's prompt is Favourite Bad Batcher, so have my favourite batcher, Tech, taking a nap, Lula and a blanket likely given to him by Omega 🥺

[cloneforceenby]

i wish i knew who made these !! And that i could find the others LOL but lookie teenage Crosshair and Tech 🥺

[cloneforceenby]

What Omega, Crosshair, Wrecker and Tech get up to when Hunter and Echo aren't around...

Full Omega costume by me!

When Crosshair was put on Trick or Treat duty 🐱🐱🐱

May or may not have fallen asleep working on this one last night 😅 my initial plan for Halloween was to draw each of the batch in their costumes but I just haven't had the time to even think up ideas let alone draw them! But Crosshair as a grumpy kitty was the first thing I thought of so I had to go for it 🤣 I'm also just obsessed with the idea of helmet candy buckets now, this time it was Hunter's turn to donate his helmet for Halloween candy holding purposes 🍬

Note; very nearly did Cross in full Cats the musical getup...but he wouldn't have that dedication, he'd be throwing whatever cheap costume over his armour because he does not have the TIME or PATIENCE.

Drawn for @bad-batch-week 's Halloween mini-event!

[cloneforceenby]

The Bad Batch wishes you a happy Halloween!

[cloneforceenby]

Same Echo, same

[cloneforceenby]

🎃Happy Halloween! 🎃

[cloneforceenby]

I believe the sentiment is...trick or treat? 🎃

Its...just after midnight for me so, a little bit late. And I have one left to colour! 🤣 I just haven't had the time this week to pre-prepare for Halloween!

I imagine that Tech wouldn't necessarily be someone too into Halloween, so Wrecker just throws a sheet over him, cuts out some eye holes, and bingo, he's a ghost! Sadly, his helmet isn't exactly well designed to be a candy bucket 🥺

Drawn for @bad-batch-week Halloween mini event!

[cloneforceenby]

🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃

As part of the @bad-batch-week Halloween mini-event, I've done a couple Halloween-themed doodles (and ill get back to my drawtober set...asap).

Here is Omega, dressing as her hero...well, heroes. 🥺 Hunter's bandana, Tech's goggles, Echo's kama and Wrecker's knife...and Crosshair's helmet for a candy bucket.

Text:

Tech: W-where are my goggles? I can't see kriff...

Echo: So...which of us are you dressed as?

Omega: yes

Echo: Right...is that my kama?

Hunter: Wrecker?!?!?? Why does she have your knife?!?!

Wrecker: ...she said it completed the look?

Bad Batch AU: Omega and her many, many uncles ✨

This is a continuation of the "Five Clones & a Little Lady" Bad Batch AU/headcanons about The Bad Batch raising Omega from a baby. Let's talk about how our favourite clones would be as uncles to little Omega growing up! This was so fun to write, honestly.

Thank you @scarlettroseog for the help with these!!

Note: I've finally been decisive and this AU assumes everything up until and maybe just after the Citadel arc happened, meaning all our faves are still alive, except the Domino Squad; please accept my apologies to Droidbait, Cutup and Hevy for not being included in this. If its any consolation, this means Fives would absolutely for sure been there to help rescue Echo on Skako Minor.

Oh, and 99 is alive. He just is. Don’t question it.

Mando'a glossary:

Buir(e): father(s)

Ad'ika: daughter/little one

Ba'vodu: uncle

Ba'buir: grandfather

So, the many, many uncles, let's begin with the 501st (I will do other clones in another post!). I haven't fully decided where they are/what they're doing in this AU. Maybe they're on a nearby planet, I don't know. The main thing is that they visit often and Omega loves them. 

Rex: 

Hands down, the most trusted uncle of them all (you'll see why as I go on), besides Cut Lawquane. When Rex is in charge of babysitting, Hunter in particular can actually relax and get on with whatever he's doing, because he knows Omega is in good hands.

Rex is nervous to begin with, but Echo picks up on it and guides him through how to hold her safely. Tech quietly offers to show Rex the extremely useful baby care videos. Rex quietly accepts.

Due to incessant teasing from the 501st, Omega first refers to him as Grandpa Rex and calls him Ba'buir, but eventually she switches to Uncle/Ba'vodu Rex. She adores him, though, particularly because they're both blonde! He always has time for cuddles (no really, he will drop everything if Omega calls for him), is full of stories to tell her, and he might just secretly be her favourite.

Fives:

The self-proclaimed favourite, coolest uncle in the galaxy. Cried when Echo first called and told him about Omega. Due to being so close to Echo, Fives seems to believes himself to be the uncle-est of uncles. They're all her uncles, but he's the most uncle of them all. In fact, he was offended that no one got him a "congratulations on becoming an uncle" card. Rex writes a half-assed one on the back of a receipt to shut him up. Fives wasn't amused.

Fives is not allowed to babysit Omega alone and especially not with Jesse and Hardcase, because the three of them caring for her only ends in disaster, or Hunter crying. Case in point; Fives was once left in sole charge of Omega for 30 minutes and she wandered off without him noticing. It took him ten minutes to realise the child had disappeared. Cue panicked clones, Hunter in hysterics (can you tell he is the Anxious Dad™️ of the bunch?). Omega was found napping under Echo's bed. Turns out Fives had forgotten they were playing hide and seek. For Hunter's own sanity, Fives is never left in charge of Omega anymore.

Jesse:

Assumes he is in charge when Rex isn't around to babysit but he isn't. In reality, he isn't allowed to babysit without Kix of Dogma around to keep him and the others in check. Fives and Hardcase are the ringleaders for mischief, but he eggs them on and joins in, making him just as untrustworthy.

Once, he just stood back and watched as Fives and Hardcase allowed tiny Omega to eat her bodyweight in junk and candy, despite Crosshair having specifically left a meal for them to heat up for her. Crosshair gets home to his ad'ika looking a little green, and receives a lovely welcome home gift in the form of vomit. All over him.

For real though, Jesse is a sweetheart, and he was so honoured to even get to hold her when she was a baby. He turns into a total softie around her, making faces, playing peekaboo, all the baby talk. He listens so intently whenever she babbles or talks, and will fight any of the others to get to read her a bedtime story. He would quite literally kill a man for this little girl.

Hardcase: 

The Funcle™️, or so he claims. Heard once that babies are made of rubber (and therefore bounce), and believed it. He loves Omega to bits, but can't figure out why her buire (especially Hunter) look so fearful everytime he goes near her. Might have been the time he tried to yeet the weeks-old Omega into the air because he saw a guy throw his child in the air once, and the kid seemed to love it. Or when he brought an old 501st jetpack for four year old Omega to play with (Rex did not see him smuggle that on the ship when going to visit them, or he would have confiscated it). He means well, he does. But he also has little to no sense of danger, and for that reason, mone of Omega's buire allow him around her unsupervised.

Much to their despair, Omega adores Hardcase's chaos and often tries to copy him, which has previously ended in upset or injury. If Omega is hurt on his watch, though, Hardcase feels utterly awful. But then he never learns.

Kix: 

Now being a full time medic, the Bad Batch (mainly Hunter, Wrecker a very close second) practically have this guy on speed dial. Seriously, that little girl will fall and graze her knee and you'd think she was bleeding out. When Omega bumped her head because Wrecker wasn't looking where he was going with her sat on his shoulders, it was as if her head had been sliced clean off. Kix finds it adorable though, they just want their ad'ika to be safe and healthy, although he knows for a fact that Tech self-taught himself basic medical aid, and almost definitely extended that to baby and child care. He doesn't mind too much, Omega might just be the sweetest kid he knows, she comes out with the funniest and most profound things, so he'd never turn down a call from them.

He got Omega a tiny medkit because he'd always catch her trying to look inside his when he visits. One time they had a great day where he taught her some basic first aid, and her buire and many of her uncles ended up all wrapped up in bandages.

Kix is the actual second in command if Rex can't babysit, although he has on occasion allowed Hardcase, Fives and Jesse's antics as long as Omega is in no immediate danger. He is still one of the most trusted uncles, though.

Tup: 

MY SWEETHEART. THE MOST PURE. THE GENTLEST BOI. Tup knows two things when he goes to visit. First? He'll have a little shadow the entire time. Second, he will have his hair braided (with added flowers) at least twice. Omega will fight anyone who mocks him, usually Hardcase. Tup doesn't think he looks lovely, Tup KNOWS he looks lovely.

Tup is such a gentle soul and little Omega always ends up gravitating towards him. He's such a natural, and he's just so sweet with her. She'll chat away to him about anything and everything and he'll just sit and listen and talk about whatever she wants. He'll play dolls with her, take her out for walks (even if only to give her buire a break), read her stories, he'd do anything for his little niece. Their favourite activity together is probably painting, they create all kinds of masterpieces together, and usually Omega ends up putting a blob of paint under her eye like his teardrop tattoo. In fact, they often give each other face "tattoos" when they get bored of painting on paper.

Dogma: 

Has absolutely no interest in babies and barely knows Clone Force 99 anyway, so why should he care. He will emphasis his disinterest until he's blue in the face, and yet almost always ends up taking charge when the 501st babysit. Not to mention that he's been caught making faces at Omega to make her laugh and doing aaalllll the baby talk. And the fact he is consistently able to sooth Omega to sleep (something that annoys Hardcase endlessly, she always cried whenever he held her). Rex also found a holo picture of Dogma holding Omega, both of them smiling away. But sure, Dogma doesn't like babies.

Bonus! 99: 

Omega's Ba'buir! 99 might just be Omega's favourite person in the world, and her buire quickly realise that they have to take her to visit him every single day, or she will take matters into her own hands and take herself. No, really, Hunter was walking home one day to find little Omega toddling along on her own, Lula dragging behind her, on her way to 99's house. He only lives down the road, but its obviously too far for a small child to go alone.

99 was a large part in why the five of them committed to raising Omega. In the early days of her arrival, they were full of self doubt and didn't feel they could give her what she needed or be who she needed them to be. 99 reminded them that she was their blood, and that they never leave their own behind. He was so proud to see his squad become such great, loving buire to little Omega. They were so grateful that he helped them see sense.

Omega adores her ba'buir (who she called Ba/Baba when she was very little) and loves hearing all his stories of her buire growing up as well as all the clones he met on Kamino. She chats away to him about anything and everything, and they'll often bake all kinds of creations together. He also starts teaching her how to fish! He always enjoys her company, she reminds him so much of each of her buire, and he's so proud to he the one she calls her ba'buir.

Random extra headcanons:

- Fives, Jesse and Hardcase once had a great time tormenting Hunter by sending him constant holo-images of Omega in various staged hazardous situations. One of Fives pretending to put Omega in the oven, another of her sleeping on the couch surrounded by empty beer cans (this one freaked Tech out because he thought she really had been given alcohol, bless you Tech), you name it. Hunter did not enjoy his child-free night and went home early. Kix was in charge that night, but he saw it as harmless fun, so didn't put a stop to it.

- sometimes the 501st have a contest where they all kneel down and try to get Omega to run to them. Fives always insists it'll be him, but it never is. She usually runs to Rex or Tup, although at least once Dogma was the lucky clone. One time, Omega stared at the line of clones staring back at her and instead just burst into tears and ran right back to her Cross'buir, who scooped her up into his arms and very smugly said "I win."

Bad Batch Headcanon: Omega swearing edition.

Picture it, Omega walking up to one of her brothers with the sweetest smile on her face, and saying the most vile, awful swear they’ve ever heard. This is how they react:

Echo: Lowkey, he wants to cry. He wants to cry a lot. Not for the words themselves, but seeing his vod’ika so clearly oblivious to the awful thing she just said. He’s almost certain Crosshair put her up to this and told her it was a nice greeting in Huttese. If anything, he wants to grab her up in a big hug and never let her be so corrupted ever again. 

Crosshair: Absolutely put Omega up to this and told her it was a nice greeting in Huttese. Her sweet as candy delivery of such a disgusting insult only made it better. Laughed so hard he cried, and is in a great mood for the rest of the week because of it. Almost definitely filmed everyone’s reactions. Hunter yelled at him but it was worth it. 10/10, would do it again.

Tech: Tech.exe has stopped working. He is completely speechless. He never expected such a thing to come from any of his squad, let alone Omega. He needs some time to sit down and process what just happened, and he has never deleted an audio recording so fast. 

Wrecker: Laughter. Uncontrollable laughter. Immediately high fives Crosshair. Immediately gets a shove from Hunter.

Hunter: Contemplates murdering Crosshair or at least punching him in his stupid, grinning face. He regrets having such a rage-filled initial reaction, though, because Omega’s smiling face dropped immediately. God, she’s too adorable to be mad at. It’s not even her fault; if she finds out what she really said, it’ll break her heart. He ends up just telling her Crosshair made it up and that he doesn’t know any Huttese at all, and prays that Omega never ever repeats that again.

Bonus:

- they blame Crosshair when Omega starts saying kriff at any minor inconvenience. They're sure he put her up to it. Turns out that's not the case, she picked it up from Tech who cannot seem to stop saying it.
