A Helping Hand - Mission 17.3 : Riots on Corellia
Koi’s idea with the ray shield did prove to be more effective than any amount of ammunition could have been. With the civilians safely tucked in within the GAR complex, sweeping the droids off the streets was an easy feat. A few EMP grenades and blaster bolts were enough to clear our quadrant and we were called in to regroup with our regiment. Apparently the Seps had managed to place some droid dispensers inside critical GAR facilities, namely a foundry and assembly complex. It was time for more housekeeping.
The LAAT brought us to the entrance of the facility, which was basically a big metal cube with a labyrinth inside. „Just like the Killing House on Kamino.“ I muttered to myself. Koi glanced at me, but said nothing. The other squads advanced into the labyrinth and we followed, blasters raised and ready. You never knew what was waiting behind the next corner. Every few minutes explosions shattered the ground and blaster shots could be heard, all framed by the rhythmic humming of working machines. „100 meters to the first dispenser.“ We entered a large hall. „Awfully hot in here.“, Koi groaned. We could see huge barrels filled with molten steel move along the middle of the hall. „Careful now, you don’t want to end up as Venator alloy.“, I said, as we tip toed our war along the narrow catwalk towards what seemed to be the first droid dispenser. „Contact, 20 meters…“. I raised my DC. „..friendly.“ Koi ended the sentence. A pice of white armor was visible among the different containers. We approached. „Don’t come closer!“ The trooper was still alive, though his leg was spread out in an awkward angle and he was clenching a bit of railing to hold himself up. „It’s alright, Brother, we’re here…“ „Minefield!“ He exclaimed as I set my foot on the ladder to climb down to him. I stopped and switched my visor to infrared. There were in fact dozens of mines placed all over the floor around the droid dispenser and dangerously close to the barrels filled with molten steel. The injured Trooper had squeezed himself right into the little gap between a mine and the wall. „Don’t bother with me. Get out of here. I broke my leg and can’t stand up properly. I’ll trigger a mine, if I do. At least I can take that dispenser with me then.“ „No time for useless heroics! Koi, take care of that dispenser. I’ll call in the medics.“ „I guess no fireworks again?“ „You got it.“ „Shame.“ Koi jumped onto the dispenser. I minimized my energy shield and reached out to the trooper. He grabbed my hand and I pulled him up carefully, as to not trigger any mines nearby. „Medics are on their way. What’s your name?“ „Mag’ro.“ „What happened to your squad?“ „Lost them to a crab droid in quadrant H. That beast chased me all the way to here until I fell from the catwalk and broke my leg. It couldn’t follow me into the minefield, though.“ „You outran a crab droid? Impressive.“ „Not going to do that any time again soon, am I?“ „Your leg’s going to be fine. Koi, status on the dispenser?“ „Fried and steaming.“ The dispenser was indeed sizzling and smoking as Koi was jabbing his energy pike into it repeatedly. „This is really turning into housework.“ „Let’s hope there’s something good for dinner, when we get back.“

A quick build for mission 17.3 of the 253rd Elite Legion. I probably should have tried at a bigger scale, to get more out of the foundry setting. However, I think the action comes across. Also, do I spot a future squad member there?
