Boost: Is it working?

Sinker: Of course it is.

Boost:  You sure?

Sinker: The light’s on, you know what, give that to me…

Fivesy,

It’s Sinker and Boost here.  You beautiful beautiful mad man.  You really are the master of pranks. About that memo?  Not sure if I got to it in time to slip your note in there.  Think Wolffe delivered it personally when he and Captain Rex met up for their batch sabaac night.  Also, I don’t even want to know how you managed to pull that prank on Wolffe but really.  Seriously, I am in awe…teach me your ways!

Boost:  As promised, that clip is attached.  Didn’t quite catch everything, but enough of it.  The sound of air whistling out of a balloon, that was just Sinker’s spirit leaving his body as he realized what just happened and he was going to catch the blame somehow.

Sinker:  Because I always do.  My life was flashing before my eyes.  It was beautiful though really.  Wolffe was so surprised.  I think we saw the full range of emotion he was capable of in seconds.  Just amazing.

We are fully on board with your idea for the mash up.  Think he’ll love it.  Especially the costume. And if R2 isn’t available, I think one of the guys in Howler company has an old R4 unit that’s not much good at anything, but does decent karaoke.  

Boost:  Yeah, I think it’d be a good idea.  Keeps the Commander on his toes.  And maybe it’s a little payback for disappearing every so often when we’re on Triple Zero.  I think he’s got a girlfriend honestly, but don’t tell anyone.    

By the way, the Windu thing?  No problem, been working on my tooka eyes.  It’ll just cost you a couple tickets to Tay’lor Spiff.  With that cashgrab of yours that should be no issue right?

Sinker: His tooka eyes ARE pretty good.  Work on everyone but Wolffe.   Oh and you’ve got connections to the Corries right?  So next time they feel the need to pick us up for nothing of course, maybe they just can pretend that our armor really does camouflage to the duracrete and not see us?  That’d be fantastic.

Boost:  Yeah, cause last time General Plo had to pick us up and well…

Sinker:  Boost was crying.  He was sad he disappointed buir.

Boost:  Oh shut up, you were crying too.

Sinker:  Of course!  No one wants to disappoint him.  As much as I don’t want to see the commander’s face at o’dark thirty, it’s preferable to being a disappointment.  No one wants to see Wolffe’s face that early.  No one

Boost: His girlfriend probably does.

Sinker:  Gagging noises

Boost:  Anyway…Oh and when you do get that glitter, Wooley from the 212th might be interested.  For totally innocent not commander pranking reasons mind you.  Bonus if it’s pink.

##sounds of a door opening##

Wolffe:  The two of you have five seconds to explain what sort of circus I just walked into.  Do you two plan this or is it just your default setting?

Sinker:  Nothing.  Absolutely nothing sir.

Boost:  Great, that was believable.

Wolffe: Every single gray hair I have is because of you two, you know that right?  What is that?  Are you recording?

Sinker: No…

Wolffe::  Give me that…Is that a 501st comm channel?

Sinker:  Uh…weird, that…

Wolffe:  Five, four, three---

Boost:  Alexa, snap holo, send voice message.  And help.

Wolffe:  Who the kriff is Alexa?

Alexa:  Your holo vid attachment, holo and voice message have been sent.

I will be cackling for days....

Let's be honest, Sinker and Boost are probably the clone trooper equivalent of grounded for life. Maybe they'll have to rope Comet into their antics to get a message out 🤔. He's a kind soul, he probably would...

I love the concept of the wolfpack so much

like, do they howl to hyoe the whole squad up for battle?

do you think they can howl convincingly enough to like let their squad know roughly where they / if they're in position

do they call the shines pups? do they say after their first battle that they got their teeth? and then let them paint them on their armour

definitely not crying over the wolfpack being reborn as loath wolves

about wolffe feeling a strange sense of familiarity in their eyes

remembering the racket they would make on leave in bars barking like a bunch of frat boys to get him to down his drink

canonically they changed their armour paints colours to grieve all those they lost when their fleet was attacked

the details of plo koon painting the few pieces of armour he wears

and wolffe is protective to a fault as seen in rebels, he wants to protect whats left of his pack

i love wolffe and plo and the wolfpack so fucking much!!!

“Having him Elbow Deep in Green Earth Would Fix Him” < please, what is this I am very intrigued

I’m pretty sure I should have put that title in quotation marks, courtesy of Shevek, from when I’d told them about this idea a while back. But it boils down to my deep desire to see post-war, no-o66 AU Wolffe spend some time in some lush gardens and discover that he is very much into gardening and helping things grow for a change. Like actually sticking around in one place long enough to see the literal fruit of his hard work grow and flourish, and to cultivate some new life in a post war galaxy. (Also let the Wolfpack hang out in the Jedi temple and wrestle with some younglings while their commander is elbow deep in some dirt!🥺) it’s just a rough concept sketch for now, and only a close up of that too, but I hope that I will be able to work this out sometimes in the future :3

@lesquatrechevrons you also asked about this ❤️

Thank you for asking you two 🥰

I’m rewatching Clone Wars on Disneyplus, and I didn’t realize in the Malevolence episode, Plo Koon sounded really worried for his men when he was about to face the droids outside of the escape pod. Just a funny idea of Plo Koon being concerned for his sons- I mean soldiers :)
