Normally I’d be more hesitant about posting spoilers of my own work but I’m so far down in this rabbit-hole of Januaryness that I don’t believe anyone’ll actually read it if/when I do post it (sorry, this nihilism must be very annoying, I don’t have the perspective to really understand that, though) so I’m going to post this snippet because I feel like it’s the only part of Cassian’s prequel Backstory that anyone really needs to know.
Kana said, “I’ll let you take one shot with that blaster at that lock, but if that doesn’t do it, you need to act fast, all right, Molo? The next shot has to be for me. You can’t let them take me alive.”
“Don’t ask me to do that,” Molo said, sounding pained, and Cassian paused, looking back.
“You know there’s no choice,” Kana said fiercely, voice shaking. “You need to take that shot right away, Molo. If that lock doesn’t break, you need to kill me right away.”
“I can’t,” Molo said.
“Of course you can,” Kana said, and she sounded angry. “You know I don’t have a weapon! I can’t do it myself! You can’t let them have me!”
Molo glanced up, and Cassian hastily began climbing again, so he didn’t hear the rest of the conversation. His heart was racing, but he had the forethought to rig Molo’s climbing rope so he could help pull him up in a hurry.
After a moment, he heard a blaster shot.
Then a second blaster shot.
Then a third.
