Wheres Tech?

“Where’s Tech?”

“Outside. Something about aiwhas and a comm recorder—”

“What about aiwhas?”

“I…think he said they might talk.”

I sort of have a headcanon Tech’s interest in sounds, recording, and language started when he was pretty young, and that it started because he had some trouble communicating and being understood. Wanting to connect ended up naturally leading into curiosity about how everything else tried to communicate.

More pink skies to rejuvenate my soul🩷

I made the search histories for The Bad Batch! Can you guess who's who? Enjoy.

Tech: Did you know that Wrecker once tried to arm wrestle a Wookiee?

Wrecker: Hey, but that Wookiee cheated!

Hunter: That's kind of the point, Wrecker.

Crosshair: Speaking of cheating, has anyone seen Echo's latest card trick?

Echo: It's not cheating if I don't get caught.

Tech: I have a new idea for a mission. We infiltrate a high-security facility using nothing but rubber chickens and bubble wrap.

Wrecker: Can I bring my explosive rubber chickens?

Hunter: No, Wrecker. Absolutely not.

Omega: Guys, guys! I found a datapad that says Crosshair has a secret crush on a tactical droid.

Crosshair: Omega, that's classified information.

Tech: So, Crosshair, what's her name? Tactica?

Crosshair: Very funny, Tech. Let's focus on the mission.

Wrecker: I bet I can lift more crates than you, Hunter.

Hunter: You're on, Wrecker. Winner gets Echo's card trick secrets.

Echo: Hey, wait a minute!

Omega: Can we play hide and seek next?

Tech: Only if you promise not to hide in the ventilation shafts again.

Hunter: Alright, team. Enough goofing around. Let's gear up and show the galaxy what The Bad Batch is made of!

Wrecker: Yeah! Explosive rubber chickens and all!

Crosshair: Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here.

Echo: Because we're family, Crosshair. And where else would you find a team this dysfunctional and effective at the same time?

Tech: Indeed. Let's make this mission a success, and maybe we'll even get a break from Wrecker's explosive experiments for once.

Wrecker: Hey, I heard that!

Omega: Can I bring my rubber chicken, too?

Hunter: Sure, Omega. Just don't let Wrecker turn it into a bomb.

Echo: Alright, Bad Batch, let's go cause some controlled chaos!

Crosshair: Why do I get the feeling that chaos won't be very controlled?

Tech: That's the spirit, Crosshair! Let's go!

The Bad Batch: For the Republic!

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

The 212th enjoy making the other battalions jealous of how much better their wifi is ( it pays to have a Commander with an antenna ) by posting videos of themselves in downtime, enjoying tv shows in high quality.

This works on everyone except the 501st because they have their very own version of Grey’s Anatomy going on in Torrent Company’s medbay with original story lines and endless drama .

Bored troopers often end up lurking around the medics, who are so preoccupied with themselves they hardly notice. No tv show could ever live up to this clusterfuck of chaos hidden under feigned professionalism.
