Publisher's summary
Sabine shows off both her artistic and explosive skills against a squadron of stormtroopers.

Plot summary
On Lothal, a citizen is in a restricted Imperial area and is assaulted by a stormtrooper, who commands the citizen to leave the area. As the stormtrooper moves along his patrol, Sabine Wren appears on a rooftop and makes her way toward a TIE fighter landing platform. Once on the outer wall of the platform, Wren contacts Hera Syndulla on the Ghost, alerting the Twi'lek pilot that Wren is in place in order to create a diversion that will allow the Ghost to fly away.

Wren sneaks through the landing platform and begins painting her call sign in graffiti on the side of a TIE figher, when she is spotted by two stormtroopers who overheard the sound of her painting. They question the Mandalorian as to what she is doing and command her to stand down, or else they will shoot. Wren goads them to shoot, and as they prepare their blasters, she disappears. The troopers chase her through the platform, with Wren goading them as she moved. One of the troopers, TK-626, calls for reinforcements.

When the reinforcements arrive, the two troopers describe Wren as being still at large and wearing "Mando gear." Wren returns to her graffiti and adds an explosive device to it before running off. The troopers notice the explosive, but not before it is too late. The TIE fighter explodes, and the Ghost uses the distraction as a diversion to fly off. The stormtroopers survive, albeit covered in paint, while Wren marvels at her explosive artwork.

Continuity
This short was adapted into a short story by Michael Kogge in the chapter book Rise of the Rebels.
