Mission 6.2 - Teth

"Boys, we have a rendezvous with a Separatist shuttle in 10 minutes top," Havoc announced. The blast doors opened to Blitz Squad's barracks; Havoc hastily made his way in.

 

"A manifest and schedule dossier intercepted by our comms team lists a POI that will be on board our target." Havoc opened the drawer below his locker, revealing a winged variant of the Republic issued JT-12 jetpack.

 

"Aerial infiltration, sir? Surely we ambush the shuttle before it takes off?" Skip innocently asked.

 

Havoc grinned and looked at Law, nodding his head towards their ammunition cabinet.

"Skip you're in charge of ordnance today. You will be placing a single charge above the shuttle's engine channel while Style's keen eyes keep an eye out for any Hunting Flies that are hungry for 'flying Skips' today." Styles chuckled, pausing his pre-mission practice of cleaning his rifle in his bunk. Law handed Skip a pack of thermal charges and then went to his own locker.

Skip looked down at the string of explosives dangling from his hand.

 

"Command sure knows how to make a mission exciting." Skip turned around to find Fixer standing behind him holding a jetpack.

"She's brand new so don't scratch her." Fixer held the jetpack out to Skip. "I know you haven't gotten one yet so use mine for now."

 

Skip hooked the jetpack to his backplate, adjusting his shoulder plates to a more comfortable position. It was weighted well and had a power indicator that read '100%'.

"You're using that old thing over there then?" Skip pointed to a jetpack that was stripped of its blue paint and looked far beyond its prime.

 

Fixer looked at the jetpack, nodding his head slighty a few times and then put his arm around Skip. "That is my old reliable. It has yet to fail me. But don't worry, I gave you my new one because it was my idea to have you carry the bombs, rather than me, the ordanance specialist, to a shuttle midflight for a mission that the higher ups are unable to spare fighters for because Blitz Squad kicks ass."

 

Skip gave Fixer a smile of dissapointment, betrayal, happiness, and brotherly love all in one.

"This is a great chance for you to live a day in the life of Fixer, eh? Oh and don't worry, if anything happens to you I will complete the mission in your honor." Fixer slapped Skip's chest plate and walked away all giddy.

 

Skip looked and found a grinning Havoc that had been watching the whole interaction. "Fixer absorbed a few too many blasts from demolition training back on Kamino- isn't that right Fixer?"

Fixer finished putting on his jetpack and then looked at Havoc and Skip: "Bombs go boom." Fixer then turned around and went to his locker.

 

Havoc couldn't contain his laughter and Skip found himself in a moment of realization that his squad would always have his back; even when they still treated him like a rookie and made him carry the bombs that go 'boom'.

What's up everyone! It is super awesome to be back with a new build and a log entry for the 253rd Elite Legion RPG.

 

Figured this was an interesting opportunity to build upon Fixer's character and give him a little more "screen time" (I think that's the best time to describe it). My hope is to continue to tell and figure out the personalities and goals of Blitz Squad as I make more and more mission entries.

 

Hope y'all are doing well and I can't wait to get back in the swing of things.
