A/N: This one took me months to write and I'm so sorry about that. I hope you enjoy this one - it's a long one, so there's plenty of chapter to read before the next one, which again, I hope doesn't take me as long as this one. Thank you to everyone who reads this. I promise I'm going to finish this story 💖

The warm orange dust that rested on the ground of the towering canyons contrasting with the blue sky reminded Sarah of old stories and holos about ranchers and thieves. The weather was arid and the sun shone brightly; if she stood under the beaming light for too long, her skin would catch burns. The canyons went on for klicks upon klicks, stretching possibly farther than the horizon before any sight of plains or civilization, and it made for a beautiful scenery, which Sarah wouldn’t deny. Pacing in tandem with her squad, Sarah’s mind lingered on the fact that if the soil were darker and the weather were hotter, it could easily be mistaken for her home planet of Jedha.

All of Sarah’s ponderings were abruptly pulled to a halt when Tech, at the front of the squad, stopped at the bottom of a large cliff that had a metallic door and platform inlaid on the rock. Everyone came to a stop around Tech as he held his datapad up in front of him, scanning the entrance. He then turned around to face the others and lowered his datapad in confirmation.

“This is Cid’s cave,” he stated.

“And so, we mine,” Sarah stepped forward, looking at the large metallic entrance as she held the extraction tool Tech had given her in the Marauder, the same one she’d already used on Kashyyyk. “I do have some experience in the field.”

“This won’t be like the time you mined iron,” Tech replied. “You’ll need to be infinitely more careful so as to avoid stimulation of the raw ipsium ore in its most combustible state.”

“I love it when you explain how dangerous our looming tasks are,” Sarah smirked at him.

“Good,” Tech’s brows raised slightly under his helmet, allowing her to see his regard for her comment. “This is a dangerous task, and that is why I will go with you.”

“If that stuff’s explosive, I should go too,” Wrecker stepped up.

“No,” Tech and Sarah said in unison.

“But-” Wrecker was about to protest.

“You’re an expert on explosives and using them well, but this is something we don’t want exploding,” Tech answered.

“What he means is, a delicate approach is what we need now,” Hunter intervened. “You’ll be more helpful fighting off anything that tries to creep up out here.”

“How are we so sure there’s nothing creeping in the mines?” Sarah asked.

“These mines were insulated to keep local wildlife away when they were built, and even while abandoned, the local wildlife has probably adapted to keep itself away from the combustible ore,” Tech answered. “We shouldn’t have to worry about creatures surprising us in there.”

“I better not be poisoned again,” Sarah joked as she walked up to Tech’s level.

“You will not,” Tech reassured her and met her gaze, his voice lowering to a tender timbre only she was lucky enough to hear. “And if you were, I would heal you all over again.”

Sarah smiled sweetly at Tech, but she felt a heavy pair of eyes on her. She glanced off to the side just behind Tech and saw Hunter was looking at them through his visor, quiet and ominous and only for a second before he turned away and geared himself up with his ore extractor.

Sarah’s smile turned sad, and she decided it’d be best to simply focus on the extraction. With Echo still recently gone, her relationship with Tech still being new to everyone, and things with Cid being queasy, everyone had a lot on their mind. Sarah figured merely completing the mission without further complications would be best for everyone.

Though Omega and Wrecker were reluctant to stay outside of the mine and be on lookout, they remained put while Sarah, Tech, and Hunter entered the cave. Tech led them through the darkness using his datapad’s screenings, though the raw ipsium was proving difficult to find. Adding to the difficulty was the obvious tension between the three, which manifested in a thick silence that didn’t use to be there during the first months Sarah and Echo were a part of Clone Force 99.

Sarah momentarily scolded herself. How was it possible for her to be nostalgic for a time of war? And moreover, how bad did things have to get for the war to seem mildly more appealing?

When traces of ipsium were finally found, it became clear none of the three would be able to extract it from its reduced spot inlaid in the stone walls. In an attempt to escape the tension, Sarah quickly volunteered to be the one to get Omega from outside. To her relief, Omega seemed to brighten up when Sarah told her she’d be taking a more active part in the mission, and Sarah then took Omega’s place as a lookout aiding Wrecker, who looked out at the distant scenery and observed the ominous storm clouds forming far away.

“Are they doin’ okay in there?” Wrecker asked, suddenly breaking the silence.

Sarah sighed as the wind softly howled past her. “Don’t know. I’m not getting the sense Hunter’s very happy around me and Tech, even though he said he was okay with it.”

“Doesn’t mean he wants to see you two being lovey dovey,” Wrecker added.

Sarah felt her cheeks getting warm, and she caught herself unable to look at Wrecker. “Yeah, I figured.”

“Wouldn’t kill you to pay more attention to me,” Wrecker shrugged, bringing his signature humor back into the conversation.

Sarah chuckled and faced him. “Really?”

She took a leap and threw her arms around Wrecker’s broad frame, squeezing as hard as she could even if his armor and build were endlessly tougher than she was. Wrecker gave a hearty laugh in surprise, and he wrapped his free arm around Sarah, pressing himself to her too.

“There ya go!” Wrecker chimed through the modulator of his helmet.

Sarah chuckled softly into the hug, but she stopped abruptly when she felt a dark premonition stirring deep within her chest. Her laughter came to a halt and she slowly let go of Wrecker, angling her frame in the direction where the Marauder waited for them.

“What is it?” Wrecker asked her.

“I don’t know,” Sarah crooned. “I’m getting a feeling I don’t like. Let me go check out the Marauder, see if he’s okay.”

“I’ll come with you,” Wrecker had started to pace in her direction.

“No, we still need at least one person guarding the mine,” Sarah stopped him. “I’ll signal you if anything goes wrong.”

“Be careful,” Wrecker handed her his vial of water. “If you’re gonna be walking under the sun, you’re gonna need this.”

Sarah nodded at him. “Thanks, big guy.”

She began to make her way back from where they’d all come from, but the time they’d already spent at the mines had let the sun rise higher in the sky. In no time, Sarah had started to feel the heat forming on the soles of her feet as well as sweat forming on her forehead and her back. She mindfully sipped on the water Wrecker had given her—running out of something so valuable while still having to make a journey back would be imprudent, or perhaps she’d simply stay with the Marauder to guard it and serve as a pickup when they were done with the mine.

When she was close enough to the Marauder to see it with her own eyes, she pulled to a halt. She could feel something, but the presence was very weak. She listened, but she could only hear the wind blowing past her ears. She kneeled on the ground to place her palm on the soil to try and track anyone who was nearby and, knowing she could be dealing with a potential danger, she grimaced through the scorching dirt burning her ungloved fingertips to get the task done.

She retrieved her hand once she had enough. There was someone there.

“Show yourself!” Sarah yelled into the emptiness.

There was no answer, and Sarah wasn’t willing to buy this intruder any more time, so she pulled her comm out from her belt close to her lips.

“Wrecker—” Sarah grunted and her hand was forced off her comm when someone leaped from behind her and tackled her to the ground. In a quick glance, Sarah could tell her attacker was a male and not a full adult, but his face and any other identifying features were masked. The fact that he was a kid made Sarah adopt a defensive nature, but all that earned her was an elbow to the cheekbone as she was starting to get up.

“Stop!” Sarah cried as she noticed the kid running towards the Marauder, and she threw defense aside and lunged toward him, ready to wrestle him if she had to. But the kid reacted quickly and took out a taser from its confinement within his clothes, and he pressed it onto Sarah’s ribcage, electrocuting her for long enough for her to become unconscious.

Now that Sarah was blacked out, the kid shoved her off the Marauder’s platform and was about to complete his mission when a particular item in Sarah’s belt caught his attention. In a swift movement, he went over to retrieve it and then he went straight back into the Marauder.

*

When Sarah’s consciousness had begun to return, the first thing that jumped at her was the noise. It was like hundreds of paws rushing past her, perhaps below… or above? The darkness that shielded her eyes became a bright red, and she felt the blazing sunlight over her closed eyelids. That was when she felt an arm around her waist securing her, and just as she made sense of the fact that one of her arms held onto someone while the other hung loosely, Sarah realized there was no ground underneath her.

Sarah bolted awake and instantly clung onto the person that was holding her. She angled her face in his direction and realized it was Tech, and she would have fawned over the fact that he was heroically holding onto her with one arm while clinging to a cable with the other if it weren’t for the fact that Hunter was doing the same with Omega not too far away from them while Wrecker was down on the ground shielding a large crate with his body in the middle of a stampede.

“What the hell’s going on?” Sarah had to yell through the noise of the stampede.

“Try to stay calm,” Tech answered. “You need your vitals to stabilize after being out for a while.”

“Why is Wrecker down there?” Sarah asked him. “Have you been carrying me all this time?”

“One question at a time, my dear,” Tech said as his eyes remained fixed on Wrecker down at the ground. “Wrecker is protecting the ipsium, otherwise the stampede could detonate it. And yes, I’ve been carrying you.”

Tech’s ability to remain calm even under chaotic circumstances amazed Sarah once again, but still, she directed her gaze toward Wrecker, toughing it out in the middle of the stampede.

“Are we sure he’s okay?” Sarah worried.

“He’s survived worse than this,” Tech affirmed. “If the case was unprotected, however, and the ipsium detonated, none of us would live to wonder if anyone is okay.”

Sarah figured Tech had a point, but she still watched warily as the creatures continued to gallop by. Mercifully, the ransacking noise of the stampede began to die down and the density of animals running by lowered until there were no more, and at that moment, Tech lowered himself and Sarah through the cable that sustained them above the ground. Beside them, Hunter did the same and returned himself and Omega to the ground, and they all surrounded Wrecker as he groaned when he uncovered the intact case of ipsium.

“Wrecker,” Sarah knelt beside him and gently held his shoulder pad. “Are you alright?”

“Forget me, are you okay?” Wrecker sounded worried beneath his helmet. “I… I ran as soon as I heard your comm.”

“I wasn’t sure you’d got it,” Sarah answered. “

“We were too late,” Wrecker stood up, disregarding the ipsium. “I knew I should have gone with you.”

“Yes, you should have,” Tech intervened.

Wrecker’s full frame faced Tech, and he began to pace towards his brother as he towered over menacingly. “Wanna say that again? I told you I was sorry!”

“Boys, stop,” Sarah mediated. “I’m the one who insisted on going alone and I’m the one who couldn’t stop the attacker. It’s on me.”

With that said, Sarah finally took a moment to look at their surroundings and she let out a heavy sigh that had been concealed in her chest.

“I’m guessing the fact that we’re here means the attacker took the ship,” Sarah said, remembering seeing the kid heading inside it.

Hunter removed his helmet, warily looking at the ground. “Yes. The Marauder was taken and we can’t track it.”

Sarah shook her head and rubbed her forehead with a hand. “Karabast.”

It then occurred to her to check her possessions, and she frantically touched her belt to make sure everything was there. Her blasters, the rifle, the gadgets, everything was where it should be. There was only one empty slot on her belt, and when she realized what was missing, she began to feel the searing heat around her again.

“Wreck, did you take the water vial back?” She asked.

“No,” Wrecker answered. “And please don’t make me think of water right now.”

“Why?” Hunter asked Sarah.

“Because the damn kid took it,” Sarah growled. “A ship wasn’t enough, he had to steal water too. Miserable womp rat.”

“Sarah,” Hunter urged her with his gaze and glanced over at Omega.

“Sorry,” Sarah sighed and looked at Omega. “I’m mad. Don’t repeat what I say.”

“Right,” Omega mumbled.

“Well, where were you headed before the stampede?” Sarah asked Tech.

“The closest space port, which is anything but close,” Tech answered, side-eyeing Wrecker. “But in view of the circumstances…”

“I said I was sorry!” Wrecker growled. “You’re the one who left the ship so far away!”

“It was the only suitable place to land,” Tech retaliated.

“Tech, if you’re gonna hold him accountable, you need to hold me accountable too,” Sarah stood between him and Wrecker. “I could have contacted Wrecker way sooner and I could have let him go with me in the first place, and maybe things would have been different. But this bickering isn’t going to bring the Marauder back, nor is it going to get us out of trouble.”

Wrecker sighed heavily, setting the ipsium crate down as he directed a tense look at Tech. “Oh, he’s not gonna hold anything against you, Sarah. I’m the big baboon who always messes up.”

“Such a statement has never been made by me,” Tech said. “And I will not, indeed, hold the Marauder’s theft against Sarah because she was unconscious when it happened, not to mention she made an attempt to stop it from happening.”

“Oh, and I didn’t?” Wrecker challenged.

“Enough,” Sarah raised her voice and it echoed through the canyon, and just then, a low rumble could be heard filling the environment. While Sarah was always aware of when her power influenced the surroundings, at that moment she feared she had unleashed something without meaning to. Soon enough, the rumble revealed itself to not be coming from her, but rather an imminent sand and thunderstorm that would engulf them all if they didn’t move.

Hunter put his helmet back on. “We need to find shelter, now.”

Tech held his datapad up in front of him and scanned. “That way!”

When the others began to follow Tech, Wrecker dropped the crate of ipsium beside him.

“You can carry that yourself, Mr. Perfect,” Wrecker grumbled and ran over towards Omega, picking her up and pressing her so that her face would be pressed to his armor and shielded from the sand storm.

“As you wish,” Tech rolled his eyes and effortlessly picked up the crate of ipsium.

They made their way quickly, but the storm didn’t take long to catch up to them. Fortunately, they were able to find the shelter Tech had located, another abandoned mine in the middle of the canyon. But the sandstorm had become too violent, and the thunder had begun to rumble too loudly for anyone to be safe in its exposure. The fast winds that whipped the sand and dust around made it difficult to move, and in the middle of the chaos and trying to get to safety, the ipsium crate was snatched from Tech’s grip and dragged further from the entrance of the mine and into the storm. It wasn’t until everyone was inside the mine that the rest took notice that the crate was gone, not to mention, being flailed into instability by the storm.

“The ipsium!” Tech yelled. “It’s going to blow if we don’t stabilize it.”

“Leave it!” Hunter ordered.

“We can’t go back without it!” Tech argued.

Sarah had already moved deeper into the cave with Omega, looming protectively over her while the three clones debated the loose ipsium case. It must have been obvious to everyone that staying so close to it while it flailed about in the storm was a hazard, but the boys’ discussion wouldn’t end. When Sarah noticed the crate outside beginning to ignite, she cried out and lunged in an attempt to get their attention, and in the end, it was Wrecker who launched himself over his two brothers and threw them all far enough into the cave to become shielded from the explosion as well as the debris of rocks that fell over the entrance resulting from the blast.

In a matter of seconds, it was quiet. The boys set up lights around the cave to get them out of complete darkness, but the sight of a dense boulder and rock blockage where the entrance had been was disheartening for all of them. They were now, on top of everything else, trapped inside the abandoned mine, and finding a way out through where they came in seemed impossible.

Wrecker and Hunter examined the pile of rocks while Omega watched in silence as her head and her chest felt heavier with each second that passed, finding respite only in the act of reaching for her comm to dial Echo’s frequency, though that proved futile each time. Meanwhile, Sarah pondered to herself that perhaps she could move those boulders with the Force—she’d only have to be careful with how she removed in so as to not cause more harm than good—but her train of thought was interrupted by Tech approaching her as he held his datapad up in front of her, scanning her.

“Really?” Sarah asked him with a light chuckle. “You’re worrying about my vitals right now?”

“Yes,” Tech answered.

Sarah couldn’t help but smile at him, scanning him with her gaze and finding solace in the proximity, not unlike the lamps lighting the thick, dense darkness of that cold cave.

“You really carried me the whole time?” Sarah asked him.

“I did,” Tech replied, with his eyes still on the datapad. “And I will continue to measure your vitals, so be still.”

“If my heart rate’s up, that’s on you,” Sarah whispered, smirking.

Tech’s brown, goggled eyes finally looked at her. “Charming. Hold still.”

Sarah sighed and let the mischief leave her for a moment. “Tech… I’m fine. Maybe your siblings need you a little more right now.”

“Your selflessness in this situation is admirable,” Tech glanced over at the scan of her vitals before meeting her gaze again, his eyes softening in sincerity. “But our current relationship implies that I will go out of my way to make sure you are safe, whatever means necessary.”

She directed a sad smile at him just as he was finishing the scan of her vitals and confirmed she was unharmed, and Tech took notice of the shift in her countenance. With his eyes, he inquired what was going through her mind, and in response, Sarah discreetly reached for his hand while lowering her voice to a whisper.

“I need you to not argue so much with them,” Sarah said.

“If things are suboptimal, I will point it out,” Tech replied.

“And you never pass up an opportunity to do so!” Wrecker called from the other side of the cave.

Tech and Sarah looked over in Wrecker’s direction; he’ removed his helmet and was reaching for one of the boulders to move it aside.

“Oh, please, don’t wear yourself out,” Wrecker told Tech. “It’s not like we need any help getting out of here.”

“Maybe we could contact Echo,” Omega’s bright little voice filled the cave, its timbre tainted with heartbreak at the mention of their most recent departure. “I can’t get to him with my comm, but maybe a different one would work?”

“The storm and the cave won’t make that easy,” Hunter replied softly at Omega. “Our best bet is to find a way to get out of this mine first.”

“But what then?” Omega spoke up again. “We still don’t have the Marauder, we have no way of contacting Cid or Echo…”

“We can acquire different transport,” Tech suggested, “and we do not need to contact Echo. We will figure it out, like we always do, analytically. Break the larger problem into multiple small ones, solve them one by one.”

Omega became seemingly frustrated as she faced Tech. “We can’t just get another ship, the Marauder’s our home! And we can’t just act like Echo’s no longer part of us anymore!”

“This squad existed long before Echo, and it will continue to do so long after him,” Tech replied. “What is your issue?”

The dismay that Tech’s words caused in Omega could be seen in her features as her eyebrows dropped and her eyes began to glisten, and the downtrodden of her aura put everyone else on alert, primarily Hunter. The rest of the squad was used to departures—as soldiers, they’d become familiar with the concept, but Omega was still a child. Crosshair may have left before a significant bond had been formed between him and Omega, but for Echo to leave meant Omega had lost a potent figure in her life.

Everyone understood it, Tech included, but as hardened soldiers, they also understood that after a loss, you either kept moving forward or became a loss yourself. But that was where the dilemma lay—how could one even begin to explain that to a heartbroken child?

Hunter looked at Sarah and said everything with his eyes. Hunter liked to convince himself he could handle anything that had to do with the squad, but at that moment, he put aside his facade long enough for only Sarah to notice. She appreciated his ability to do so despite the tension arising between him and Tech, whether it concerned her or Omega. It was clear—Hunter cared more about Omega’s wellbeing than whatever argument he could be having with his brothers. And Sarah nodded almost imperceptibly before looking over at Omega, stifling the heavy sigh that wanted to escape her.

So much for completing the mission and moving on.

No small part of Sarah wanted to rub the current absence weighing on the squad on all their faces, even if it would be to no avail. She’d moved past the point of blaming others for the way things had happened. But there was still one thorn within her that wanted to be angry and to show that she was. To throw her arms up and yell, “I told you so!” at everyone who’d told her to get over Crosshair.

But that part of Sarah didn’t yet take over, and when she laid nebulous eyes on a disheartened Omega, Sarah could feel it disappear.

“I won’t tell you to get over it. I miss him too,” Sarah told the kid. “And nothing would make me happier than to have him here right now. He’s been such a balancing force for all of us, and now that he isn’t here, it becomes obvious how much we need him.”

Omega’s eyes, as well as those of everyone around Sarah, widened with caution, and Sarah knew why—her words could very easily apply to someone else. Sarah acknowledged this, and with a gentle smile, she gave her head a slight nod.

“Echo,” she confirmed. “He’s been my best friend for longer than I’ve known any of you, remember? We defended Kamino together way before we had to watch it fall. And I had to deal with losing him once at the Citadel.”

The silence of the cave enveloped the squad as the timbre of Sarah’s voice faded into the darkness, pausing in the confinement, before she continued, “We didn’t lose Echo, he’s just on a different path now.”

“Do you tell yourself that about Crosshair?” Omega blurted.

“Omega,” Hunter retaliated, though regret over coming close to snapping at her instantly clouded his features.

“It’s okay,” Sarah answered without anger, holding her hand up to calm the tension. “Yes, Omega, I told myself that about Crosshair countless times. And that’s why I can tell you that Echo’s departure is nothing like Crosshair’s, for obvious reasons.”

Omega’s features dropped. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, Omega,” Sarah’s voice softened and she sat down on the ground in front of Omega, prompting the kid to do the same. “I know how you feel and I won’t stop you if you need to be alone for a bit. I just want to make sure that, before you do, I leave you with that thought. Echo’s always gonna be there for us, and us for him. Not even the Citadel and the Techno Union could keep him away from me forever, so trust me when I tell you that wherever he is, Echo’s still our brother and our friend and we’ll always count on him.”

With dismay in her eyes, Omega was suddenly unable to meet Sarah’s gaze. She took Sarah’s words to heart and made her way deeper into the mine where the silence and the dark would comfort her, away from eyes who clearly pitied her, or so she felt. And Sarah watched as Omega’s small frame molded with the comforting solitude of the cave—all she’d told the kid were words she would have liked to have heard herself at one point, and to retreat from others in an effort to deal with that growing hole in her heart was something Sarah had done more times than she could count.

Somehow, Sarah knew that Omega would be fine. She was more sure of that about Omega than she’d been about herself when it was her retreating into darkness.

Then, when Omega had finally found a place for herself, Sarah faced the clones and she walked back towards them ready to continue lifting their way out of the cave. Before she did, she stopped herself in front of Tech and gently met his gaze. The color of his eyes reminded her of caramel in the warm, dim light they’d set up in the cave—but she’d have to keep her mind away from the beautiful brown hue of Tech’s irises.

“She needs some time,” Sarah began, “but you’re going to have to make things right with her again eventually. You know I’m right.”

Tech’s lips curved in the slightest hint of a smile, pleased someone would finally be confident enough to establish themselves—and succeed at it—as intellectually dominant.

“I know you are,” Tech replied, but it was clear to him that what Sarah was tasking him with was a challenge on its own. Nevertheless, it had to be done. And besides, he didn’t fancy the idea of Omega wandering about the cave, especially not if unstable ipsium was around. Quietly, Tech followed Omega deeper into the cave, and though for a moment Sarah would have wanted to join them, she knew that was something they had to resolve on their own. She’d already done her part, and now it was up to Tech to mend his relationship with Omega.

Time wore on, and each boulder that Sarah used the Force to lift and move aside drained her physical strength, with her mental strength fading each time a removed boulder only gave signs of more debris underneath it rather than an exit. After it became too much, a gentle pat on her shoulder from Wrecker was enough to prompt her to sit aside and take a breather even if she would have wanted to go on. Wrecker continued to try to find the exit, and as for Hunter, Sarah could feel his gaze on her. It was stern, but it almost always was. Despite the mending they’d achieved, Sarah felt tension in Hunter’s eyes as he watched her, and in her exhaustion, she sat on the ground cross-legged, with her hands on her knees, and let out a heavy sigh with her eyes closed.

“I’m too tired for this, Hunter,” Sarah spoke, opening her eyes and looking straight at him. “Say it now or don’t bring it up again.”

Hunter crossed his arms, facing her and looking down to meet her gaze. “How I feel about you and Tech is one thing, but how I feel about you talking about Crosshair in front of him is another.”

“That’s not the most unreasonable thing I’ve heard you say,” Sarah couldn’t help but smirk a little.

“I’m serious,” Hunter emphasized.

“Stars, Hunter,” Sarah stood up from the ground and walked up to him. “You know as well as I do that I didn’t bring him up this time. Not with Omega, and not right now with you.”

“Still,” Hunter’s gaze, while upset, held a hint of resentment, remorse over a lost relationship. “It was always a slap in the face, hearing you pine over Crosshair when we were together.”

Sarah knew she’d be a hypocrite if she was surprised by Hunter’s claim. It was no surprise at all; part of her had always known she was hurting him.

“I had the chance to find him, and I didn’t take it,” Sarah told him.

“So I gather,” Hunter said.

“Not that you need any convincing, but it was enough for Tech,” Sarah continued. “You’re a leader and a protector and nothing’s gonna take that from you, but Tech’s a big, smart guy. And when you and I could barely look at each other, he was there for every ounce of rage that I felt after leaving Cross on that platform. Tech is still choosing to trust me despite that.”

Sarah felt her face beginning to warm up, and she took a deep breath to calm herself. “I am sorry, Hunter. I don’t even care that I’ve apologized already; I’m sorry for never being one hundred percent devoted to you. You deserved my everything and I didn’t give it to you.”

The quick turn from defensive to remorseful that Sarah’s words took was as shocking to her as to Hunter, as she could see from the way his eyes widened in a blend of heartbreak and adoration, an adoration that she was sure stemmed from a sheer appreciation of hearing her acknowledge what had hurt him for so long.

“And I’m sorry,” Sarah’s voice broke, forcing her to hush her tone, “that now that I’ve chosen to move on from Crosshair, it’s not with you. I know how painful that must be for you, and I truly hope that one day it doesn’t hurt you as much. You deserve better, and I’m not just saying that, Hunter.”

Sarah’s gaze drifted to the ground and she took a couple of steps, nearing herself toward a wall where she intended to lie down, when she abruptly looked at Hunter again.

“But you do have a point,” she said, “and in the spirit of moving forward, I won’t make the same mistakes with Tech.”

“Sarah…” Hunter took a step closer to her.

“He’s lucky to have you,” Sarah smiled gently at him. “He hooked up with your ex-girlfriend and you’re looking after him. You’re a real brother.”

Hunter remained still, unsure what to do or say. He had no doubt that Sarah was being genuine, but perhaps he’d grown so used to fighting her that he’d forgotten what true peace with her felt like.

Sarah exhaled softly and gestured at the ground. “Mind if I rest a bit?”

Hunter gave a soft scoff, unable to put exact words to how he felt about Sarah at that moment. She’d come a long way, and to add to his pain, that stirred the heartstrings within him that were still reserved for her. He admired her for looking him in the eyes and acknowledging their relationship’s bitter end with such kindness—that didn’t do anything to soothe his wish for her to only have eyes for him. But if Sarah was able to look at things as they were and be better moving forward, perhaps he could bring himself to accept he wasn’t part of her love story anymore, and he wouldn’t be unless things changed dramatically. In any case, Hunter wasn’t sure he’d be welcoming of a dramatic change of events.

“Right, of course,” Hunter stammered, and he turned away from Sarah and walked towards Wrecker as she lay down on the ground facing the wall of the cave.

“Bet you didn’t see that coming, did you?” Wrecker attempted to comment silently.

“You know she can hear you, right?” Hunter asked in a quieter voice.

“Oh, right,” Wrecker mumbled.

Sarah chuckled softly at his remark and closed her eyes, finding it easier to get some rest after having let a load off her chest.

*

A dark and dreamless slumber was interrupted by a shove on her shoulder, and the moment Sarah opened her eyes, the premonition jolted through her body. She rose to standing quicker than one could exhale, meeting Hunter and Wrecker at her sides as they gazed in worry into the depths of the cave.

“Tech,” Sarah verbalized the dark foretellings within her.

“And Omega,” Hunter added.

“Well, can’t you track ‘em?” Wrecker questioned.

Before Wrecker even finished talking, Sarah had already begun racing into the cave out of pure instinct. Wrecker and Hunter ran behind her and followed her into a rift in the cave where it was evident the two missing members of their team had been—Tech’s helmet was on the ground, as was the Ipsium extractor and several vials loaded of that same mineral, all of them scattered around the bag that had been carrying them, dropped carelessly. Meanwhile, neither Tech nor Omega were anywhere to be seen.

Hunter crouched down and brushed the rocky ground with his fingertips, his gaze trailing toward the stream of water that ran through the rift and fell with the gravity at a daunting speed.

“Stars know where that stream leads,” Hunter said with a heavy tone.

“You think they fell in?” Wrecker asked.

“It’s where their trail ends,” Hunter replied.

“B-But,” Wrecker sounded nervous.

Sarah knelt on the ground and placed her palms flat on the cool rocky ground with her fingers spread wide, channeling all her inner strength to focus on the cave beneath her. As her energy ran through her fingertips into the earth, she visualized the route of the stream passing through the cave’s endless maze, tracing a clear canal that went downwards until stopping at a bulb a few klicks deep.

“I know where they could have ended up,” Sarah stated.

“Are they okay?” Hunter asked her.

As Sarah looked back up from the ground, she pondered on his question for a moment and searched her feelings. She certainly didn’t feel a looming danger the way she had when she’d woken up—maybe that had been during the moments Tech and Omega were actually falling. But at that moment, Sarah felt like she could trust that they weren’t in any danger. She looked up at Hunter and gave him a light nod.

“I think they are,” she said calmly. “But we do need to find them.”

Sarah and Hunter looked down at the stream, and Wrecker slowly walked up behind them.

“We have to jump, don’t we?” Wrecker said, disheartened.

“Now you’re catching on, big guy,” Hunter said as she put his helmet on, and as he did, Wrecker took a few steps behind Sarah and Hunter before the latter continued, “let’s grab their belongings and we’ll dive in. I’ll go first—”

Hunter and Sarah were shoved toward opposite sides when Wrecker ran past them and dove into the stream, his voice booming through the cave in a cry full of terror and instant regret. As Sarah and Hunter watched him go down the stream, they remained silent for a moment, both sharing in the thought that it was hard not to laugh in the circumstances.

“Wow, he really just did that,” Hunter said, surprise flooding his voice.

“Yep,” Sarah said, grunting as she squatted down to pick up Tech’s helmet. “He even took the ipsium with him. Now come on, every second we delay, he makes us look like cowards.”

Standing at the edge of the stream, Sarah and Hunter took deep breaths before diving into the stream at the same time. The strength of the water instantly overpowered them, dragging them at high speed down the path of least resistance. Not long into the affair, Sarah realized she’d underestimated the stream, suddenly finding herself with an overwhelming need for air, and it was clutching Tech’s helmet tightly in her hands that helped her to remain centered—it was for him and for Omega that she was doing this, and it was worth it. With how fast the water ran, Sarah clung to the fact that it couldn’t last much longer.

The stream of water ran through darkness, and mercifully, it wasn’t long before Sarah could pick up on a hint of light in the distance. When she and Hunter reached it, they were thrown out of the stream amid the waterfall and crashed into a crystal clear lagoon that glowed with an ethereal blue hue. All that was needed was to swim a few strokes upward to the surface, and finally, she and Hunter emerged for a much needed gasp of air. Sarah coughed for a few times, struggling to keep herself afloat as she scanned her surroundings, and relief instantly washed over her when she made out the sound of Omega’s laughter and saw her, Tech, and Wrecker at the edge of the lagoon.

“You should have heard Wrecker yelling!” Omega called.

With only their heads visible above the water, Sarah and Hunter exchanged a brief look before directing their gazes at the squad again and, helmetless, Sarah conveyed what they both felt with a tiny smirk suppressing a laugh.

“We did,” she confirmed.

Then, Sarah and Hunter swam toward the edge of the lagoon; Hunter was aided by Omega, and then, he and the child aided a still-recovering Wrecker. Sarah was received by Tech at the edge of the lagoon, who helped her up to standing with a firm yet caring grip. With a final little cough, Sarah looked up at Tech and held his helmet out to him, smiling sheepishly.

“You forgot this,” she grinned.

“Much obliged,” Tech used one of his hands to grab the helmet while the other one kept a tender hold on hers. “Are you alright? That was not an easy fall to sustain without protection of your respiratory system.”

“I’m fine,” Sarah took a deep breath. “See? No coughing.”

Tech gave a discreet smile, and his fingers squeezed around Sarah’s ever so slightly before they both angled their bodies to face the others as they helped Wrecker up to standing and the latter regained his composure. Sarah noticed Omega smiling softly at him just before she looked over at Tech, and her smile didn’t fade.

Sarah looked over at Tech as well. “I take it you were able to fix that?”

“Yes,” Tech confirmed without more detail.

Sarah gave his hand a squeeze before letting go. “I knew you could do it.”

“Your confidence is always appreciated,” Tech said as he put his helmet on. He and Sarah made their way to the others, and that was when Tech noticed the ipsium vials on the ground. He took the bag, grabbed one of the vials and handed the bag to Wrecker before addressing the whole group. “Omega noticed light coming in through a crack on that wall,” Tech pointed. “One vial of ipsium and a precise shot should clear a path to the outside.”

“Or cause another cave in,” Wrecker objected.

“I have considered those odds,” Tech answered. “Due to the structure of this section of the cave, I have little reason to believe it will happen. However, we have Sarah in full consciousness now.” Tech turned to Sarah. “You are our sharpshooter now, but we’ll need you to be ready to levitate the debris while we get out if it happens. Can you do that?”

“Of course,” Sarah said. “Do you want to use the Firepuncher?”

“Negative, my blaster will suffice.”

“Then let’s get in position,” Hunter confirmed. “We’ve already outstayed our welcome on this rock.”

“My thoughts exactly,” Tech agreed, and he began to lead the team behind a large boulder near the edge of the lagoon while he placed the ipsium along the crack of light and returned to cover. After verifying that everyone was in position, with Sarah at the opposite side of the boulder ready to counter the worst outcome, Tech aimed at the vial of ipsium and fired.

The blast was clean, and although everyone had prepared for the worst, the amount of debris that fell was minimal, and instead of having to deal with another cave-in, the team was welcomed with a bright ray of light inviting them to emerge from the cave. They all ran out and let out a collective sigh at the feeling of warmth and fresh air on their faces, inviting the clones with their helmets on to remove them.

They were standing at the edge of a cliff overlooking a large plain, and in the distance, they spotted a cluster of structures that could be a medium campsite on a good day. Not long after spotting it, they noticed the sun was going down along the sky, nearing twilight in only a matter of hours. If they wanted to make it to the campsite before dark, they’d have to hurry.

“It looks lifeless,” Omega commented as she scanned the campsite through binoculars.

“We’ll head there anyway,” Hunter replied, taking the binoculars gently from the kid. “With any luck, we’ll find something useful there.”

Omega sighed as worry began to settle in on her again. “Alright.”

“Remember what I told you,” Tech said to her. “Think like an engineer, Omega. Approach the situation analytically. One of the issues, that of being caved in, is now solved. We will now approach the next, and so on.”

Omega looked up at him and smiled softly. “Right.”

Omega then walked over to where Hunter and Wrecker were, and the three began making their way down the mountain. Sarah and Tech remained still for a moment, and she looked up at him with a gentle spark in her eyes.

“Yes?” Tech prompted.

“That was great advice you gave her,” Sarah smiled.

“It was merely factual,” Tech shrugged. “My day to day. How else do you think I remain calm under crisis? Everything is but a system that can be broken down into simpler problems.”

Sarah perked up on her toes and planted a soft kiss on Tech’s cheek, lingering just long enough to see the way his lips curved up ever so slightly. Side by side, the two followed the others down the mountain and eventually caught up, and they walked for the remaining hours of daylight to arrive at the campsite when the sun had just hidden below the horizon.

Omega’s assumption from earlier had turned out to be correct—the campsite was deserted. Any huts, structures, and vehicles that were left were old and rusty; clearly no one had been there for months, possibly even years. It smelled of old, burned oil, and there were no signs of any supplies left behind that could be useful. No non-perishable rations, no water, no power or electricity. The most that campsite would be useful for would be a spot on the map where the team stopped by.

“What a bust,” Wrecker said as Tech took his datapad out from his belt.

“I have our planetary coordinates here,” Tech said and quickly scanned the surroundings before looking back down at the screen. “There is a spaceport far from here. Reaching it without a vehicle will be challenging, if not impossible. Our best option for now is to signal for help.”

“Echo’s off on a mission,” Sarah said. “We’ll need to contact Cid.”

“Not the most appealing of ideas,” Tech said as he approached a large antenna and examined it. “I can amplify the signal with this.”

Tech did his work while the others watched, and he was able to send a transmission to Cid’s frequency. She took a while to answer, as everyone noticed, with every passing second in which her holographic figure didn’t appear before them feeling eternal. When Cid finally answered, she had her back turned on them, and even if she never seemed particularly amused at anything, she seemed particularly unhappy when she finally faced them through the hologram.

“What is it now, fellas?” Cid sounded a tad more annoyed than usual.

Hunter took charge of the conversation and made the story short—gathering the ipsium, the Marauder was stolen and they had little to no means of tracking it or recovering it, and they needed a pick up. Cid listened quietly at the story, but when Hunter had finished explaining, all he and the batch earned was a slow shake of Cid’s head and the gesture of her crossing her arms.

“No can do,” she said. “I’m a bit tied up at the moment. Can’t exactly pack up and leave to pick you guys up.”

“Did Hunter not make himself clear?” Tech protested with a rational tone. “We have no rations, no water, no means of transport, no means of—”

“I hope I made myself clear, Goggles,” Cid interrupted him.

“What about Rigel?” Sarah intervened. “You could send him over with the Y-Wing. It’s only two seats, but we could at least do a recon with that. I’ll take you all back to Ord Mantell one by one if I have to.”

“The Auror’s grounded, Strider,” Cid replied. “All ships on this planet side are.”

“Excuse me?” Sarah question. “Why? How?”

“Things aren’t pretty right now on Ord Mantell,” Cid answered. “And I’m under a bit of pressure. Can’t afford to go breaking rules to send a town car for ya.”

“We’ve done worse things than sending an unmanned ship away,” Sarah protested.

“I still can’t send Rigel to ya,” Cid wouldn’t budge.

“Consider it us getting even for when you offered me to Millegi,” Sarah looked Cid straight in the eyes, and anyone could tell she wasn’t trying to be witty or lighten the mood.

That attitude didn’t make Cid happy, and with a sigh, she let her arms fall at her sides. “I said no, fellas.”

Before anyone else could offer any more ideas or at least give Cid a proper piece of their mind, she cut the transmission and left the batch in silence in the dark. Though perhaps it was more troublesome that none of them were surprised by Cid’s apathy, they all exchanged looks of indignation before scattering around the campsite, each one questioning how they’d go about this new obstacle. On instinct, Omega walked over to Sarah and wrapped her arms around Sarah’s torso, pressing herself toward the woman for comfort. Sarah gently stroked the top of Omega’s helmet in hopes of providing the consolation Omega needed—she could only imagine how Omega felt, and at that moment, Sarah began to dreadfully miss Echo too.

The stars continued their path along the sky, and the air would only get colder. Huddling together, the batch strapped in for a long night knowing, in a very hidden corner of their minds, they’d find a way out of this one too.

Sonine Prime ... Part 3

Hi, everyone and welcome back to Sonine Prime! The part of the show when I come out and talk about Sonine (and a bit of Sontails) in Sonic Prime!

Last time we finished up the set of scenes starting with their meeting and ended with Sonic and Nine's capture by the Chaos Council. This time, we're hoping to get to move on to the next episode before moving on to the next part😂

ㅤ

<< Part 2 | Part 4 >>

(Essay/thoughts/analysis under the cut)

ㅤ

Starting out with an honerable mention of a moment!

"Nine! Is that you?"

Nine: You're just wasting your breath.

Sonic: Omg Nine👀😊

ㅤ

And then, just before Sonic is put through a series of grueling diagnostic tests, Nine is used as collateral to get him to comply.

"Do not fight them. It will only end badly. For him."

"Nine!"

"Okay, let's start the test. The sooner we do this, the sooner Nine and I can get out of here."

ㅤ

Another small thing:

The way Nine tenses up furing the first test, as Sonic risks being shot by both laser guns (another tick in the "Nine cares a surprising amount about someone he just met" box)

ㅤ

Hmmm, and the little things just keep coming, don't they?

Sonic loses his footing in the giant hamster ball filled with spike balls.

"Sonic!"

Which of course, makes Sonic palpably annoyed

Hmmm almost reminds you of when Eggman insulted Tails, doesn't it?

"You wanna test me, Eggheads? Question. How do you tick off a hedgehog? ANSWER. Mess with his friends!"

Hehe. Interesting.

"No one messes with my best friend!"

vs

"How do you tick off a hedgehog? ANSWER. Mess with his friends!"

ㅤ

Sonic begins to "hallucinate" as he says, and we're treated to another flashback

Amy: I guess he didn't hear the stick together part.🙄

Knuckles: Does he ever?

Tails: No. But he also hasn't let us down when it really counts! You know Sonic. He'll catch up at some point.😊

No comment about how everyone else is at least mildly annoyed at Sonic and Tails stands up for him in a way that redirects their attention from what Sonic did/is doing to the fact that he'll be there when they need him.

ㅤ

Good bye Season 1 Episode 1 of Sonic Prime, hello Episode 2!

"It's not about the zigs or the zags... It's about the friends we made along the way."

Sonic looks at Nine, has a flashback/vision of seeing Tails and Shadow before the shattering. Then, he looks at Nine both after being confused and still a bit out of it

ㅤ

Okay, so aside from that funny little moment (Sonic's face), there are some little things to piece together from Nine's end after the council brings out the energy extractor.

First, unlike Sonic's repeated winking afterwards, Nine winks at him smoothly. He doesn't change expression as he does so, and it happens in a singular smooth motion. This makes sense as to why the message Sonic received from the wink was a sort of "I have a plan". While we can't know exactly what he meant, what is clear was that the wink at Sonic was deliberate.

Second, the way he plays off the earlier wink. I think it's pertinent to mention that he's at the end of two Eggforcer's weapons, and Sonic hasn't exactly been subtle this whole time with the winking. His fairly loud whisper to Nine about a plan isn't exactly subtle either (and Nine isn’t exactly the confessing to caring about someone type), so it makes sense if he plays the earlier wink off as having dust in his eye. There is a real contrast begin the smooth wink before and the way he rubs his eye when he says he just has dust in it. That also being said, they did just meet still, so even if Nine cares about Sonic a surprising amount, I think it can be true that his earlier wink was him trying to tell Sonic that he's thinking of a way out of this just as much as it's true that Nine might prioritize making sure he'll live at least if Sonic's not going to survive the extractor. And since this is all about talking about ways certain bits in this series can be interpreted, anyone want to talk about how "I just had dust in my eye" is commonly used by characters who are pretending they're not tearing up due to the display in front of them? Nine has been watching this display of a hedgehog's last words with...an interesting expression on his face, I'll say. Is he...confused? Just thrown off by how Sonic’s acting here? Dumbfounded? Who knows. All we know is that the camera cuts to Nine quite a bit to show us his changes of expression as Sonic speaks, and that after Sonic looks at him for a prolongued amount of time (after asking if he has a plan), his expression instantly changes. This is to say, even though he clearly wasn't tearing up/betraying sadness in that moment, what if Sonic looking at him then, asking if he had a plan, sort of made him feel laid bare? What if he was afraid for a moment that his expressions betrayed his thoughts and feelings on the inside? I mean, imagine meeting someone for the first time and caring about another person for the first time in years. Imagine you've been lonely and isolating yourself for years of your life, and this hedgehog you've barely met uses his last words to call you one of his friends. Imagine he's begging on what could be his death bed for a plan, and you haven't worked anything out yet (even though earlier you'd winked to make him feel better, feel like there will be a plan). He could die, you don't know what to do, you're still not sure why you care, why this makes you sad. You just met him didn't you? He looks at you for a while, asking for a plan, and for a moment, as you're afraid something will happen to you as he mentions plans to free him, you're also coming to terms with the thought that this hedgehog *could* die. Playing it off as just dust in the eye doesn't just save you from another nasty shock, but it protects you from feeling like the hedgehog is staring right into your soul, seeing your conflicting feelings.

Third, after Sonic says "looks like this is game over" and seems to accept there's no way out, the extractor closing in, the camera cuts away to Nine again, zooming in on his face. There's a subtle shift in Nine's face right then and he looks...almost sad, or like he finds it hard to believe that this is real. Then, when it cuts away from Sonic again, after he says goodbye, Nine's eyes are wide.

Actually, on Nine's expressions during what he and Sonic both believe to be Sonic's last moments, I may have hit the picture limit, but I can at least embed a clip here so you all can watch Nine's expressions.

All I'm saying is that if Nine wasn't having feelings about all this in some form, the creators would not have chosen to keep cutting away to Nine's expression, bidding the audience to see and wonder how he feels about all of this. And I think the fact that Nine is reacting at least a little, not looking bored or uncaring or as if he's trying to get this over with, tells us a lot about Nine and what the creators wanted the audience to focus on.

More evidence to the "Nine cares a surprising amount for a hedgehog he just met and doesn't only care about him out of curiosity/what sonic can do for him" box

Not to mention that just after this, when Nine gets his chance to slip away, he frees Sonic right after freeing himself. This is one of these scenes that *is* arguable, as there's really no point in him leaving Sonic there to die. But, we know that Nine has the capability to go on the offensive (not just because of the entire fight scene from episode 1, but also from the fact that he destroys/dismantles an eggforcer at the computer without even needing to turn around) and Rebel and Renegade are there. So it personally tells me a lot that Nine didn't leave Sonic there to fend for himself (especially since he'll later weigh his options and choose to leave Rebel, Renegade, and Rusty to the council over the chance of saving them and losing the red shard).

ㅤ

Wooo! Season 1 Episode 3, everybody, let's go!

Now, this episode starts with a pre shattering flashback. Just like in episode 2, Sonic's friends talk about how annoyed/frustrated they are that Sonic isn't yet fighting with them. After everyone says their piece, Tails again stands up for Sonic, telling them that Sonic will arrive at some point and that he knows he will.

(We'll come back to these flashback bits with Tails standing up for Sonic while others don't trust/believe in him or are annoyed at him later)

And back to the present, Nine just manages to take control of Rusty Rose in time to save Sonic.

Now, as there are a couple things I'd like to bring to everyone's attention with the aid of screenshots, until part 4, everyone!

Next time we'll hopefully get to tackle the rest of episode 3, and there should be smooth sailing til the last few episodes of the season after that.

Fume Extraction Systems in Welding and Metal Processing: A Must-Have for Safety

Welding and metal processing are foundational to modern manufacturing, but they come with a serious byproduct—hazardous fumes. These fumes contain a mix of toxic gases, fine metal particles, and airborne contaminants, all of which pose significant health and safety risks if left uncontrolled.

To ensure a safe and compliant working environment, industries are turning to fume extraction systems as an essential part of their operations. In fact, these systems are no longer a luxury—they're a must-have for any facility prioritizing health, safety, and sustainability.

The Hidden Dangers of Welding Fumes

Welding processes such as MIG, TIG, arc welding, and plasma cutting release metal fumes made of iron, chromium, nickel, manganese, and zinc. These particles are extremely fine, making them easily inhalable. Over time, exposure can lead to:

Chronic respiratory conditions (asthma, bronchitis, COPD)

Metal fume fever

Neurological issues (from manganese exposure)

Increased cancer risk (especially with hexavalent chromium)

Eye and skin irritation

In poorly ventilated areas, fumes can accumulate rapidly, endangering both welders and nearby workers.

Why Fume Extraction Systems Are Essential

✅ Protect Worker Health

Fume extraction systems capture and filter toxic particles and gases at the source, preventing them from being inhaled or spreading across the workspace.

✅ Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Agencies like OSHA, NIOSH, and local pollution control boards mandate limits on workplace exposure to airborne toxins. Fume extraction helps industries meet permissible exposure limits (PELs).

✅ Reduce Fire and Explosion Risks

Fine metal dust and flammable gases increase the risk of workplace fires. Extraction systems reduce these hazards by removing volatile contaminants from the air.

✅ Improve Indoor Air Quality

Clean air boosts employee morale, productivity, and reduces absenteeism due to health-related issues.

Types of Fume Extraction Solutions

1. Source-Capture Extraction Systems

These include fume arms, welding torches with built-in extraction, and hoods. They remove fumes directly at the source, minimizing exposure.

2. Portable Fume Extractors

Mobile units used in flexible or changing work environments. Ideal for smaller shops or maintenance operations.

3. Centralized Extraction Systems

Designed for large-scale operations, these systems connect multiple welding stations to a centralized filtration unit.

4. Downdraft Tables and Booths

Used in grinding or cutting operations, these systems draw fumes downward into a filtration system, keeping the breathing zone clear.

Applications Across Industries

Automotive manufacturing

Shipbuilding and heavy engineering

Aerospace and aviation

Metal fabrication and machining

Structural steel and construction

Tool and die shops

In each of these industries, consistent fume extraction is key to maintaining safety and operational efficiency.

Benefits Beyond Compliance

✔️ Safer Work Environment

Fume extractors create a healthier workspace, which reduces turnover and builds employee trust.

✔️ Equipment Protection

Clean air prevents dust and fume buildup on sensitive machinery and electrical components, extending their lifespan.

✔️ Reputation and Responsibility

Modern businesses are expected to adhere to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices. Effective fume management is a tangible step toward corporate responsibility.

✔️ Future-Proof Operations

With regulations evolving, having robust fume control in place ensures that your facility is ready for tomorrow’s standards.

Conclusion

Fume extraction systems are not just about ticking boxes for compliance—they are an investment in workplace safety, long-term productivity, and environmental responsibility. As welding and metal processing continue to power key industries, managing their byproducts with advanced extraction solutions is no longer optional—it’s vital.

Whether you're operating a small workshop or a large industrial plant, integrating the right fume extraction system is the smart way to protect your people and your processes.

How to Choose the Right Carpet Cleaning Equipment for Your Home or Business in Oman

Carpet cleaning is very important for maintaining the beauty, longevity, and hygiene of your floors. However, in Oman, where dust and sand are an everyday thing, choosing the right carpet cleaning equipment really makes a big difference. Whether you are a homeowner looking to keep your carpets spotless or a business owner in search of maintaining a professional appearance, deep, thorough cleaning just depends on the right cleaning equipment. 

Type of Carpet 

What type of carpet you have in your home or office matters. For instance, if it is sensitive wool carpets, then they need a more delicate cleaning, while synthetic carpets made of nylon or polyester can easily withstand more powerful cleaning machines. Machines like carpet extractors are generally for deeper cleaning, especially when areas of a house or office get too much traffic. Start by identifying the type of carpet to clean before making a decision. You may need to take necessary precautions to avoid damaging the carpet and ensure that cleaning is effective. 

Power and Suction Ability

In Oman, your carpets can gather dirt fast, especially in places with high foot traffic. Therefore, equipment with high suction power is necessary. Examples of this type of equipment are the powerful vacuum cleaners and carpet extractors. Fine particles that regular vacuum cleaners may miss can be removed by vacuum cleaners, while carpet extractors, equipped with highly performing suction power, can also do deeper cleaning because they can remove all the dirt and moisture locked deep inside your carpets, leaving your carpets fresher and dry a lot faster.

Portability and Storage

In domestic cleaning, especially in small houses or apartments in Oman, the equipment for cleaning the carpet should be portable and convenient to carry around. Portable vacuum cleaners or handheld carpet cleaners are very convenient, as they can clean all parts of your home without any hassle. On the other hand, for commercial use or big homes, you may need equipment that is powerful and can clean larger areas in a shorter period. When making a decision, you must take into account the available space in your storeroom for keeping equipment and if you have to move it often. 

Environmentally Friendly and Energy-Efficient

Most people in Oman are switching to environmentally friendly cleaning thanks to environmental awareness. Modern cleaners come with designs that save water and power. They are also environmentally friendly, with fewer harmful chemicals that ensure a better and safer cleaning process for your family, pets, and the environment. Look for machines that support green cleaning practices while maintaining high performance. 

Durability and Maintenance

The most severe climate conditions of Oman, like extreme heat and powerful sandstorms, can deteriorate equipment very fast. High-quality carpet cleaning machines that are known for their resilience in operational use are an investment. It is also essential to buy quality equipment that is easy to maintain and clean. Regular maintenance, such as emptying dust bags and washing filters, will extend your machine's life and keep it running efficiently. 

Additional Features 

Some machines come with additional features that enhance cleaning. Adjustable brushes would be helpful for more complicated cleaning jobs. Some equipment can steam clean too, with built-in water heaters, allowing you to maximize both temperature and pressure to clean efficiently. Determine whether these additional features will be helpful for your space before buying the equipment. 

Choosing the best equipment that you can use in cleaning a carpet may be challenging, but consider these 3 points: the type of carpet, suction power, and portability. The former two factors show how effective your cleaning will be, and the last factor depends on your need to move and store the device. Quality carpet cleaning equipment can help you maintain clean, fresh carpets that shine in any space as the pride of your home. High-quality carpet cleaning tools not only beautify a space but also make the place much more comfortable. 

Al Ariq Equipment LLC is a premier supplier of carpet cleaning products in Oman, offering a diverse range of cleaning solutions for residential and commercial applications. It emphasizes innovation and customer service, offering exceptional equipment and cleaning solutions specifically engineered to overcome the unique challenges of the environment of Oman. Al Ariq ensures that their products yield excellent results in clean and fresh carpets at homes and businesses.

The best carpet cleaners help maintenance professionals clean and deliver carpets within a few hours. Non-heated versions will allow carpets to be dry in about six hours while the heated versions require just one to four hours to leave carpets completely dry.에볼루션카지노

Advanced cleaning functions The best carpet cleaners come with simultaneous cleaning and extraction features. While the hot moisture dissolves tough dirt deposits on carpets, the vacuum extraction function draws the dirt, debris, and moisture, allowing the carpet to dry faster.

This is a great advantage for casinos since they can remain open for longer.
