Mission 6.3: The Slice
DESIGNATION: Protector-018
NICKNAME: Galaar
RANK: ARC Captain Grade 1
UNIT: Vornskr, First Regiment, "Bralor's First", 253rd Elite Clone Legion
"The sublevels beneath the monastery proved trickier to navigate than I had anticipated, frankly we would have gotten lost on multiple occasions if it weren't for our Mandalorian guide. She seemed to know her way around these catacombs, a detail which she had failed to mention prior to joining my squad for this rescue mission. I had hunch that these very tunnels had been used by the Legion's Mandalorian Scouts to infiltrate the monastery prior to our assault. The tunnels themselves were cramped, just barely tall enough for the Mandalorian to stand upright, while myself and my squad were forced to hunch forward to avoid hitting our helmeted heads on the ceiling. To make matters worst the narrow confines of the tunnels forced us to move in a file and left very little room to maneuver, they were in every aspect an utter death trap. Frankly it was a miracle Captain Jaro had managed to lead his squad this deep into the monasteries sublevels, let alone the two Separatist officers and their battle droids. Up ahead the Mandalorian motioned for a halt and I moved forward sliding past several crouching troopers, my armor scraping against the rounded stone walls.
"What is it?" I asked peering past her at where the tunnel suddenly stopped, and a narrow set of stone stairs began.
"We're here." She said motioning towards the stairs with the barrel of her massive scatter gun.
"Roger. I'll tell the boys" I said, turning and motioning to the rest of Vornskr to prepare for battle. Voices could be heard below, most prominently that of a Harch, his voice distinguishable by the constant clicking, a T-Series Droid, and Captain Jaro. It sounded like the Harch and the droid were interrogating the Captain, which would likely put him in our line of fire. Switching to my internal comms I told Vornskr to check their fire and to hold off on thermal detonators, before giving the Mandalorian a thumbs up, signifying that we were ready to go. Without a moments delay she threw herself down the stairs firing into the room below with both her scatter gun and a wrist mounted weapon. Vornskr's advance down the stairs was not nearly as quick or graceful as we rushed forward in a half crouch. Luckily the sudden attack by the Mandalorian had distracted the Separatists enough for Vornskr to clear the chokepoint and enter the room unscathed. A brief firefight then ensued, seeing a number of battle droids destroyed, Captain Jaro rescued, and the capture of the Harch who had been stunned by the Mandalorian. There was a second Separatist officer present, a Yinchorri, but unlike his Harch counterpart, he must not have been worth a bounty as the Mandalorian had simply incinerated him. Our mission had been a success, and we had been lucky enough not to suffer any serious casualties. The day was won, but not over as unfortunately it was a long trek back to the surface..."
--------------
Finally got around to building mission 6.3 for the 253rd, while there's not much to the build itself, I'm happy with how it came out. Unfortunately I might be going back into hibernation as my desk is about to be taken hostage by a rather large Lego Castle and I'm not sure if I'll have the space or time to build anything else (I will try though).
As always thanks for stopping by and have a good one!
