Galaar could hear blaster fire from the corridor up ahead, DC-15s, Troopers, and something else, something bigger. Reaching into his belt the injured ARC trooper retrieved a experimental combat stim and injected it through a gap in his armor. Within seconds the mix of adrenaline and Mandalorian war stimulants relieved him of the pain from his broken ribs and other injuries sustained during his initial run in with the Dark Jedi. With his injuries temporarily taken care of Galaar stumbled forward rounding the corner only to find that the fighting had moved on. In it's wake lay several dead troopers, their armor blackened and smoldering from blaster impacts. A little ways past the troopers sat an ancient automaton, the troopers had managed to disable it, but at a high price. Taking a knee next to the destroyed droid Galaar began to examine the automaton, taking note of it's heavy armor and massive arm mounted laser cannon. The droid appeared to be an ancient security droid, likely employed by the temple's inhabitant to keep out unwanted guests. It looked like the troopers had brought it down with several hits from a PLX Launcher, turning and scanning the bodies of the fallen troopers Galaar spotted the missile launcher laying a couple feet away from the squads sergeant. Standing up Galaar moved over to the Sergeant and picked up PLX, it had four missiles left in the tube and no spare ammo, that meant that the squad must have used the other three missiles to destroy the security droid. Making a quick mental note of the droids potential durability, Galaar stood and said a quick Mandoa farewell, activated their beacon and headed past the destroyed droid and deeper into the temple. Utilizing the tracking skills taught to him by Vhonte Tervho back on Kamino, Galaar located the trail of another security droid and began to follow it, hopping it would lead him to either more troopers or the Dark Jedi. The droid's path lead Galaar into an ancient crypt, and it was here that the droids appeared to have originated their restraining bolts laying discarded on the ground and their charging stations sat empty. Venturing deeper into the crypt Galaar's scopes picked friendly forces two junctions ahead, they were engaging the droid Galaar had been tracking. Readying the launcher Galaar began to run, rounding the corner just as two troopers were cut down. Cursing Galaar switched to open comms.

 

"Friendly on your right! On my mark hit the deck!"

 

"Copy that"

 

Another trooper went down, his torso disappearing in a bright green flash.

 

"NOW!"

 

Swinging around the corner Galaar fired two missiles over the head of the last trooper, the rounds smashed into the droid, tearing it's gun arm and left leg from it's body. The droid fell to the ground disabled. The trooper stood and turned to face Galaar.

 

"Nice shot sir, good timing too, he almost had me"

 

"If only I was faster, could have saved your vode. These droids are tough, hopefully that was the last of them."

 

"Negative Sir. The Dark Jedi activated a small army of them after fled into the crypt. We might need a Jedi for this one."

 

"I agree. I'm in no condition to fight him on my own, we'll make our way back to the surface and link up with General Kenobi."

 

"Copy that."

 

 

 

----------------------------------

I swear I'm going to get these logs done, hopefully by the end of the week, just need to find some time and inspiration.

The shot kind of got a weird evening glow to it, might re-shoot just so it looks uniform with my other entries, let me know what you guys think.

My next project will likely be for WID, so stay tuned!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
