Juno whirled around, slicing through the barrel of a handgun pointed right at her face. She then slashed foward, killing the opponent with a riposte straight into his left eye. Before he even hit the floor, she looked around.
It was...unpleasant. Were all these people really resistance members, like the briefing had told her? She had an unpleasant feeling that she knew the answer.
Oh well. Couldnt be helped now. If she didnt do it, someone else would. She pulled her sidearm and fired into a group of people not far away. She didnt react as she watched two fall dead to the floor.
As she watched them die, she noticed someone familiar. Twirling her blades, she yelled at him.
"Nick! Stop fucking around and find their leader! He has to be here somewhere!"

Delta was pacing nervously, trying to ignore the sounds of gunfire and screaming below.
"How long left?" he stuttered to the communications expert nearest him, who was still trying to concentrate on his laptop. "Same as when you asked five minutes ago, sir. At our current rate, all hostiles will be purged within the next hour."
"good. Good..." he whispered to himself, making the comm expert unable to hear him.
"Its necessary...Its necessary..."
"Sir!"
Delta looked up. The soldier had a look of alarm on his face. "We have detected an emperor class air transport heading towards us! We never called any reinforcements, so..."
"Really?" said Delta, calming down slightly. "They must be on patrol. Contact them and..."
The expert looked up. "Sir...the designation for the transport, its..."
"Oh no..."
"...Hyperion."
Delta almost fell to his knees right there and then, his face going completely pale and his mouth going dry.
"Oh no...its her...thats her transport...why is she here...why does she, of all days, have to fucking come HERE?!?!"
He msut have stood there for about a minute, before he realised that the communications expert was still looking at him. Managing to hold in his terror, he nodded to him.
"Find them a landing position. Give her my regards, ill meet her once i oversee the rest of this. I may as well bring my officers with me."
