Nailed that petty clanker pretty darn good.

Got out with minor injuries.

 

Heck, it's been a good day.

 

But not good enough.

 

|CC-4712|Havoc|: Men, HQ just updated the 3rd regiments status. Before I go on, though, I want to say you performed excellently holding out on that building- as far as I could tell.

Y'all made me look bad.

|CS-1742|Sabre|: Sorry sir, guess we just couldn't help it. (chuckles)

|CC-4712|Havoc|: Ah, shut it.

 

I smiled. We can't change war, but we sure can make the most of it.

 

|CC-4712|Havoc|: Command just assigned us the task of blowing up

the underground driod factories supplying the VIA ground forces. If we take that out, we can call it a day. Alright, questions?

|CT-1274|Fuse: Just make it go boom, eh boss?

|CC-4712|Havoc|: Just how you like it Fuse; let's get moving then.

 

We followed the coordinate uplink, to an uncovered secret entrance outside the city limits. I opened the hatch, and dropped inside, one by one.

I opened the data feed, and a blueprint of the factory materialized in my HUD.

3 main generator couplets. Going to have to go solo this time around.

 

|CC-4712|Havoc|: Tango, Fuse, follow the ventilation shaft in Sector 3. Ratchet, Sabre, follow Sector 2. You have the detonators?

"Copy that."

|CC-4712|Havoc|: Set the timers, and I expect to see you all here.

I pray I do.

 

I made my through the shaft, as stealthily as I could, careful not to attractt attention. I've always hated cramped spaces. Firefek.

 

After passing the first 2 power centers, I stopped and overlooked my target. Through the narrow slits, I could see at least 2 standard droids.

I activated thermal, and my insight was confirmed.

 

Take a deep breath.

 

I kicked the flimsy durasteel panel, and as a I fell I sent a burst of blaster fire. I dropped, rolled, and aimed again, only to see my first shots held true.

Not bad. Those pistol sessions came in handy.

 

Kneeling, I reached into my utility compartments, and pulled out the detonators, and started the activation prep.

As I took out the timer, I heard the whoosh of the sliding doors and heavy clanking.

 

I spun, whipped out my pistol and started firing.

4 clankers fell, revealing the true threat.

 

An Assassin droid.

 

I fired 2 more shots- the first blasted it's rifle away, leaving it defenseless, but the second one near came.

Firefek. No kriffing ammo.

 

*Schling* The Ig-42 activated it's virbo-blade.

 

I did likewise.

 

It stared at me with its glowing red sensors, as if trying to locate a weak point.

 

Good luck finding one.

 

I heard Sabre's voice over the intercom.

|CS-1742|Sabre|: "Sir, our timers are set, en route to rendezvous. You copy?"

 

The droid took a step. Clunk.

 

|CC-4712|Havoc|: "Negative. I've had a slight setback."

 

It took another. Clunk.

 

|CC-4712|Havoc|: "How much time do I have, Sabre?"

 

I began circling my opponent.

Slow. Cautious. Wait for it.

 

|CS-1742|Sabre|: "7 minutes."

 

Clunk.

 

|CC-4712|Havoc|: "I'll see if I can make it."
