"Wake up, Wrecker. Clone Force 99 died with Tech... If we all go in we're not all making it out. Omega needs you both. So I'm doing this alone. It's what I deserve."

- Crosshair, s3e15

I've been sitting on this specific quote for days now, mulling it over, reading and rereading it. It stood out to me for various reasons, one being that Crosshair sorta spoke what I had been feeling. The squad has been irreversibly changed after the death of Tech... The permanence of it is heavy, and it is perhaps something Crosshair had wished for many times while with the Empire. Of course, he had never considered he'd rejoin them one day, let alone that Tech (or any of them) would not be there when he did return.

This specific quote, to me, shows a ton of vulnerability. It shows fear and regret. It shows how goddamned dedicated and loving Crosshair is. Of course, it also shows a lack of rationality.. and the desire to pay for self-perceived shortcomings.. he doesn't realize how much anyone else needs and wants him there..

I really love how Hunter (I think) jumps in and tells him that this (sacrificing himself) is clearly not the solution... It ultimately shows that Clone Force 99 (the family) is still intact despite the loss of one of their essential members.

Then there's also that sense of not knowing how valuable he is... He doesn't know how much his brothers need him, let alone his sister, who he is willing to give himself up for.. just lots and lots of feelings about the whole thing 💕

"I want it to hurt. Bad. I want to lose. I want to get beaten up. I want to hold on until I'm thrown off and everything ends. And you know what? Until that happens, I want to hope again. And I want it to hurt. Because that means it meant something."

Bad Batch Incorrect Quotes

Rex: So, how's adjusting to your new squad going? Echo: Well, my net worth has certainly gone up. Rex: *confused* Uh, what? Echo: Yeah, you know. What you're worth when you're caught in a net. Rex: Rex: I'm sorry can you please explain that. Echo: We were running out of fuel on our last assignment so we landed in a Separatist port and Hunter put on a disguise and turned Tech in. We got six thousand credits for him. Rex: Six. Thousand? Echo: Yeah, turns out he's the lowest-value option at the moment, but Wrecker said he got turned in the last time. He's worth ten thousand, because he's blown up, like, a ton of important stuff, apparently. Hunter and Cross are probably in the eleven to twelve k range but they can't agree on who's worth more. Rex: Rex: You sold your brother!!!??? Crosshair: *offscreen* Are you even brothers if you haven't sold each other once? Tech: When we were cadets I sold Crosshair to Hunter for two credits. Crosshair: Those were imaginary credits, Tech. Tech: Which was the agreed-upon currency at the time. That transaction has never been voided, by the way. Legally, you still belong to Hunter. Hunter: Please, void it. I don't want him anymore. Here, take your two fake credits. Wrecker: Don't say that! Come here, Crosshair. I want you. Rex: *still on the comm* YOU SOLD YOUR BROTHER? Echo: We obviously got him back, Rex. Chill out. We fueled up in like ten minutes and went to retrieve him. He's fine. Rex: So you sold him and then you stole him BACK? Tech: Obviously. This squad would not survive without me for longer than the time it takes to refuel. That is why we usually sell Hunter or Wrecker. Additionally, they do not require extraction as they usually do that on their own.

Echo: I'm worth three thousand at the moment. But ten thousand is coming, wait and see! Rex: *frightened ori'vod noises*
