Summary
Wrecker’s stomach tightened into an uncomfortable knot. Wasn’t the quietness what they wanted? Why did they all suddenly seem unhappy that they had gotten what they had asked for?
Suddenly, Wrecker was suffocated by a feeling of utter helplessness. Before, he had been too loud, and now, he was being too quiet.
Could he ever just be enough?
After a rough day of training, Wrecker wants nothing more than his own brothers, but his perspective is shaken when he realizes they don't quite feel the same way.

Summary
Hunter’s voice was hoarse when he finally spoke. “You weren’t supposed to find me here.”
Tech glanced over at him with an eyebrow raised. “You should have known better.” He lifted the datapad in his grasp. “We will always find you, just as you do us.”
When Hunter goes missing on Kamino, Tech leads the charge to find him, just to come across a situation he could have never prepared himself for.

Summary
“Consider this a test. Failure isn’t an option, because should you fail…”
Everyone took a collective breath. Even Hunter found that his chest had tightened in nervous anticipation.
“You die.” The commander shrugged. “Simple as that.”
When an unexpected off-world training mission forces Hunter to work closely with his fellow commanding officer candidates to survive, tensions grow, and danger rises to meet it. Only a mend in trust can guarantee their survival—and Hunter's likelihood of ever getting to see his brothers again.

Summary
The commando at least had the decency to shoot instead of swinging its blade, which gave Crosshair time to roll away—but it didn’t give him time, or the ability, to take back his shot before it was knocked astray. Crosshair watched in slow motion as his bolt found a target, and the target crumpled upon impact.
But the target wasn’t the commando droid. It was Hunter.
Crosshair narrowly avoids death, but he's left with something worse in the wake of it: injuring his own brother.

Summary
But even Wrecker couldn’t hide the concern that laced his tone, making it just a fraction more unsteady than it usually was. Crosshair’s eyes narrowed as he looked between his two brothers. Even without speaking, he was all-too aware of the understanding they had reached.
Nothing good was going to happen to Hunter in there. Not inside the hidden laboratory of a Separatist scientist.
After Hunter gets captured saving his squad on a mission, he becomes a bargaining chip for his brothers to turn over the data they've just collected - or else he'll have to face his greatest weakness.

Summary
For as long as he could remember, Wrecker had always been a heavy sleeper. He saw it as a gift, one that had allowed him a few more precious minutes of sleep before their early training sessions on Kamino—and, most recently, the opportunity to sleep between missions on the Marauder without being disturbed by his brothers’ movements and conversations. They were certainly jealous of his ability to do so.
Wrecker never thought he’d consider it to be just as much a curse as it was a gift. Not until now.
When Wrecker and his brothers are attacked in their sleep, he becomes the only one who's capable of keeping them all safe - and together.

Summary
Crosshair’s eyes narrowed. Hunter had always been good at hiding injuries—it was a common problem they faced during the war—and it seemed he had only gotten better since adding Omega to the family. Crosshair wasn’t even sure this was an injury, but something was definitely off. That kind of sound wouldn’t usually make him so… jumpy.
Maybe it was like Crosshair’s tremor, something physical that was connected to trauma he had endured. Maybe it was unhealed grief at the fact a table that should have fit six was only being occupied by four. Crosshair didn’t have a clue.
But he would find out. And he knew exactly how he would go about doing it.
Hunter's hiding something post-Tantiss, and Crosshair's tired of not knowing what it is.

Summary
She was cut off by her own labored breathing, which only got worse in the midst of her own panic. Hunter held her tighter, lifting her chin in a vain effort to help her breathe easier. It did little to help.
Omega’s voice was half a sob when she found it again. “I can’t breathe, Hunter.”
When Omega falls and gets hurt on a lighthearted outing, Hunter's forced to remember that even their peaceful life on Pabu isn't without its own dangers.

Summary
Omega hadn’t really thought about it all until now, until she was forced to come to terms with the fact that she had nearly lost Hunter. He had nearly died. He had died, if only for a brief few seconds.
And to think she had no idea until Tech had commed her.
Omega races back to Pabu after Hunter suffers a heart attack, leaving her to wrestle with the inevitability of time passing and her brothers' rapid aging - as well as her own.

Summary
Omega nodded tiredly, her eyelids fluttering as Hunter brushed his thumbs over her cheeks. She said one more thing with the last full breath within her. “You came.”
The image of Hunter’s small smile was the last thing she saw, just as his response was the last thing she heard. “We always will.”
After Omega's captured by the Empire, her brothers step out of retirement to come to her rescue in a mission that could change everything.
