Tech Returns?
So yeah, people are freaking out because there's only 4 more episodes left in The Bad Batch :( but more importantly is that enough time to bring Tech back?
If the answer is yes you might be delusional. Emphasis on might, it could happen, and Tech can live happily ever after with Phee but honestly, when has romance ever worked out in Star Wars?
If the answer is no then listen to this: Crosshair had two season’s worth of redemption, the tale of the brother who willingly killed and burned down innocents for the Empire of His own free will. If Tech is CX-2 then he could be the reverse of Crosshair, the brother stripped of personality who willingly(?) kills and burns down innocents for the Empire of free will(?) but instead of redemption they never get him back. Again they have to live with having their brother trying to kill them knowing they can't get him back.
If Tech Lived…
So I am and have been a Tech Lives theorizer since season 3 started. But immediately after watching the finale I’ve been thinking… I don't write angst but it's better to write it than just say it.
——————————————————
Hunter blinks spots away as he limps away from that awful ‘reconditioning machine’. His senses are in full overload but Hemlock took Omega somewhere, He has to find her, fast. The spots clear enough and he spots an abandoned electro-staff. Something moves in the corner of his eye. It's one of those Shadows he thinks fast and hurls the spear into the Shadow’s abdomen. The Shadow is impaled in a flash of sparks against the wall. His helmet glitches open from the ‘staff.
“No,” Hunter whispers “No, no!” He yells this time
No, no, no, he died during the- wished he could deny it but that was his brother. Crosshair emerges from the shadows and gapes at the Shadow- no their brother. Hunter darts over to feel for a pulse.
”He’s gone,” Crosshair declares
Crosshair is right.
”Tech is gone, Hunter,” Crosshair continues “Hemlock made sure of that,” He adds mournfully “We have to go get Omega”
Hunter pauses for a moment then turns, picks up a blaster, head spinning, and follows Crosshair out the door. I just killed my brother. He shoves that thought away quickly. We have to get Omega first.
They both emerge onto the rainy landing platform, right in time to see Hemlock’s shuttle leave. He and Crosshair both raise their guns to shoot uselessly but they're too late. Hunter can't hold back the scream he’s been holding in. I killed Tech and lost Omega. I've failed.
——————————————————
Yeah… that was the thing I was thinking about. If Tech lived and was revealed to be CX-2 when he was impaled(because his helmet glitches cause of the electrico staff) that they wouldn't have enough time to rescue Omega.
Can you tell I don't write angst?

wrecker : Didn't you die?!
tech : That was weeks ago, dude. Things change.
no one can tell me crosshairs first interaction with tech when they were cadets didn’t go like this
Tech: Do I sound smart, or am I smart? Crosshair: You sound unbearable, to be perfectly honest.
the last few episodes
*after the Squad's plan goes horribly wrong*
tech: Now it seems we're back at square one-- finding omega .
crosshair : For the record, I already found them.
wrecker : And you let them get away before we could have a meaningful conversation.
crosshair : They stabbed me!
tech: I'm surprised they waited this long, crosshair . We've all had the urge.

omega : Advice of the day kids, if you ever meet someone who calls Gatorade flavors the actual name of the flavor instead of just the color then they are a certified nerd.
tech: Yeah but you have to specify, frost glacier or cool blue? You can’t just say blue because there’s more than one blue.
omega : Blue and light blue, nice try nerd
