Description
"Are you a neo-imperial loyalist, then?" Demarco inquired of the civilian, who shook his head and kept drawing. A complete labelled diagram of a TIE Interceptor and its fittings was taking shape under his pencil. "What did they do, bribe you?""No, sir," said the engineer. "Threatened to kick my goohuloog head in, sir. And then they kidnapped me."
Demarco glared at the intelligence agents, who tried very hard to look invisible. "Sorry, sir," Martell said. "Imperial habits...er..."
"...die hard," Lieutenant Aeron finished.
"Wait, what happens after I'm done drawing these?" the engineer asked, pausing a moment. "Speaking of dying hard?"
--Empire Reborn, Chapter 21, City of Chains.
------
A dingo ate Aeron's cap. Also, there is a Terry Pratchett reference in this scene. First one to get it gets a most wondrous cookie.
Star Wars, George Lucas etc etc.

Old habits die hard, indeed. *chuckles*
I do wonder, though, what will happen once the engineer is done with his work? Just a legitimate question, you know, nothing personal.

Being used to the Empire, the engineer's concern would have been justified. The New Empire, on the other hand, hired him. >3

"Threatened to kick my goohuloog head in, sir." ! That's Detritus, right? Or Nobbs? Argh, it's from the Watch.
Nice job on the characters here: they all have really distinct looks, especially the civilian.

YAYYY, you got it! Yes, it's Detritus.
That civilian is my favourite part of the picture.
