[b]"Tell Them to Hold the Position as Long as Possible, If it gets too heavy don't be afraid to run."[/b] [color=aba000][b]Sergeant Rocker:[/b][/color] "Running Might Be a Good Thing Right About Now, Look What's Heading Their Way." [i][b]I Picked up a small pair of Macrobinoculars and peered at the droid forces. A Division of Hailfire Droids Was Headed Towards the East Gate, Spelling Death for Anything In Their Way.[/b][/i] [b]"Sergeant Lucky, Get Your Forces Out of there! Hailfire Droids are Inbound to Your Location, You'll be Slaughtered!"[/b] [i][b]I Look Back to the Wall and the Ray Shielded Auto Turrets in Distaste, Letting Out an Angry groan.[/b][/i] [b]"Come on Onyx Squad, What's Taking You So Long? You're the Key to this Mission, Don't Let us Down Now."[/b] [i][b]Our Cannons Continued to Pound the Enemy Battlements, Preventing Them from Massing Another Full Frontal Assault. The Previous Encounter just a short while before resulted in the disabling of a second walker, and the deaths of 23 More troopers, Bringing the Casualty Count to 106 Dead and about 30 or So Wounded.[/b][/i] [@Lord Coake] [@caliban22] [h3][u][color=f7941d][b]-Sarrish, Orbit-[/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i][b]Commander Cody and his Top Two Troopers, [color=f7941d]Waxer[/color] and [color=f7941d]Boil[/color], Were Scavenging the Debris Field of their fallen forces. The Defiant Was Slowly Drifting into the Debris Pile while Repair Crew Attempted to Reboot the Engines.[/b][/i] [color=f7941d][b]Commander Cody:[/b][/color] "Waxer, Boil, Any Life Forms on the Scanners?" [color=f7941d][b]Boil:[/b][/color] "Negative Sir, And This Thing is on Highest Sensitivity... Wait, I Think I've Got Something, Point Eight-Four, 200 Meters." [color=f7941d][b]Waxer:[/b][/color] "Same Here, Only Point Seven-Seven, 350 Meters." [i][b]Cody Steered the Republic Nu-Class Shuttle in the Direction the Life Forms Were Coming From. Of All Places, it was the remains of Blue Squadrons V-19 Torrents, Brought Down by Turbolaser Fire. They Came Upon the First of the Torrents. They Latched on and Pulled the Pilot from the Cockpit. He Was Semi-Conscious.[/b][/i] [color=f7941d][b]Waxer:[/b][/color] "Trooper, Can You Hear Us? What is Your Name Soldier?" [i][b]He Nodded that he Could Hear Them but was too weak to reply, so they scanned his arm for his identification.[/b][/i] [color=f7941d][b]Boil:[/b][/color] "He's Blue Squadron Alright, Calls Himself Onesie it Looks Like." [color=f7941d][b]Commander Cody:[/b][/color] "Well Onesie, You're One of the Luckiest Sobs I've Ever Seen, Maybe one of two if we hurry." [i][b]He Detatched from the Wreckage of the Torrent, and Proceeded to the Next Torrent, This One a Little Less Beat Up.[/b][/i] [color=f7941d][b]Waxer:[/b][/color] "This One Could be Even Luckier, Let's Get him Out of there." [i][b]They Attatched and Pulled the Pilot from the Wreckage. He was very much alive, but out cold. They scanned his arm ID as they did Onesie.[/b][/i] [color=f7941d][b]Waxer:[/b][/color] "Another Blue Squadron, Called Blaster. No Obvious Signs of Injury, Probably Just a Concussion." [color=f7941d][b]Commander Cody:[/b][/color] "Well, Let's Get them back to the medbay on the Negotiator, then join General Kenobi on the Surface." [i][b]Cody Headed the Nu-Class Shuttle Towards Their Venator Flagship, pushing her to her speed limits.[/b][/i] [@nano627]
