Summary
“Guild, huh?”
Cal’s throat seizes. “Wait—”
“We’ll have to scan the code. Standard procedure, you know, to check your record.” He waves over one of the droids hovering in wait at the edges of the tent.
“You don’t have to check my record,” Cal says and tries to gather the Force to his voice. He feels for the edges of the official’s mind, tries to bend it to his will, but it’s too amorphous and faint, and he doesn’t know how to focus on it to impress the suggestion. He’s never had any natural aptitude for it, and was too young when the Order fell to be properly taught how. But still he tries. “You’ll let me pass.”
"Yeah, we’ll see about that.” He grabs the back of Cal’s wrist roughly, twisting it around to expose his forearm for the droid to scan.
After a close call with a customs officer in a small spaceport, Cal becomes determined to erase a link to his past, no matter the cost (or how the rest of the crew feels about it).

Summary
Cere answers the connection request and a tinny voice, sounding bored and well-rehearsed, says, “Prepare for boarding. Have your manifests ready.”
Greez gives her a questioning look and she nods. “We’re already locked in and with a destroyer backing them up. Better to play along than try to escape,” she says.
Greez nods and acknowledges the message from the other ship. Cere starts closing all the programs she keeps running at her station that reveal them to be more than the luxury liner for hire they pretend to be. “And yes, I remember the air filter extortion but I think being boarded by customs officials has nothing—”
“Boarded?”
After an unsettling encounter with an Imperial customs stop, Cal is fine. More than fine, actually. Totally and completely fine. But the back of his mind keeps turning to Bracca and his last ties to his old life. While exploring the ruins of Zeffo, he starts to pick away at the past. Literally.
