What a Buzz - Mission 16.1: Destruction of Vandos Prime
Mission 16.1: Destruction of Vandos Prime
[Mission Log 1601; Sergeant Sakana]
„Distance to target 3000, stand by for booster ignition in 3… 2… 1…“ Shab, I hate jetpacks! „Ignition!“ The sudden blast of the boosters halted me mid aid and it felt like being slammed into a wall face first. We had calculated the landing strategy as close to the station's surface as possible to not arouse any suspicion. I dropped the last few meters to the floor, followed by five troopers close behind me. Those 253rd boys seemed to be used to that kind of entrance. Ice cold wind was blazing against my visor as I peered over the edge of the orbital station’s top. There had to be a ladder down somewhere. The platform was a mesh of wires, antennas and array dishes. Slowly the whole squad moved forward. „Watch your steps, there could be…“ Suddenly, there was sharp, high pitched buzzing sound, followed by a scream. Turning around, I saw a trooper, splattered with blood, with what looked like a metal insect on the remains of his chest. Buzz droids! Laying down fire, I stumbled backwards and drew my sword to fight any of these pests near by. The rest of the squad ignited their jetpacks again and started picking the droids off from the air, as more and more of them came climbing up the edge of the platform. We had to get down to the control room, fast, or this would become a chainsaw massacre.

My first build for the 253rd Elite Legion and quite a challenge already. The platform probably got a bit crowded after all, but I think the action comes across well. I hope you like it!
