[color=aba000][b]Commander Bronze[/b][/color]: "Well of all the clones in the galaxy, Scraper it's been too long! I wish you and the old Mudjumpers could come at a better time, but we definitely need the help here. We can catch up later, for now we need boys up high and front lines, spread your guys out as you see fit, and pass me a Z-6 clip out of that ammo cache!"

[i][b]Bronze grabbed a ammo clip from the crates, and picked up his Z-6 Rotary Cannon with his cybernetic arm to reload it. Once he had the clip in, he revved it up and hurried back out to the battle.[/b][/i]

[i][b]Rolin had pulled back after seeing the small reinforcements to gather his wits and figure out the best plan of action now. He was still clueless how they were getting out of this, then something startled him. His comms systems screamed to life, bringing in messages from the fleet's heated battle in orbit. Then he heard Spade 1 called out in the chat.[/b][/i]

[color=aba000][b]"Hey, Ace, that you up there? I think we've got comms back up and running!"[/b][/color]

[hr]

[i][b]The Excalibur was easily plowing through the remains of the droid fleet after one of the Lucrehulks had gone down. With the arrival of the 224th Fleet, the battle was slowly turning. The droids seemed determined to hold their ground, though, so it would still be some time before they were through to the planet's surface. Spade Squadron was clearing the Excalibur's area of Vultures and Tri's when Ace picked up a transmission.[/b][/i]

[color=aba000][b]Ace (Spade 1)[/b][/color]: "General, that really you?"

[color=aba000][b]"Yeah, good to see you all have finally joined the party! Where you been, drinkin' on Nar Shaddaa or something?"[/b][/color]

[color=aba000][b]Flush (Spade 2)[/b][/color]: "Good to see your sense of humor is intact, along with the rest of ya. We'll be down pretty soon, this blockade is tougher than she looks. I'll patch you into command... Admiral, we've got someone on the line!"

[i][b]On the bridge, Admiral Millon received a transmission passed through from Spade Squadron. He was relieved to see General Rolin standing there.[/b][/i]

[color=aba000][b]Admiral Millon[/b][/color]: "General Rolin, it's good to see you still alive down there. Sorry we're late, but the Excalibur needed some waxing."

[color=aba000][b]"I get it, just hurry up and get down here, we really need some help here."[/b][/color]

[color=aba000][b]Admiral Millon[/b][/color]: "We'll be down as soon as possible General, just hold tight and stay alive."

[i][b]The transmission ended and Millon returned to the battle at hand.[/b][/i]
