A Feast for the Eyes - Mission 2.1: Disaster on Dantooine
„Did we get on the wrong shuttle? This feels an awful lot like vacation.“ Linx chimed through the com link. „Tell them when we’re back at camp, maybe they can get the breakfast buffet ready.“ Bruiser groaned, half amused, half annoyed. He was walking a few meters behind me and his armor shone in the morning light as the sun slowly rose above the endless fields of Dantooine. This indeed did not feel like the action packed, dangerous mission command had sold it as. The dark acolyte the Legion had encountered on Rhen Var was supposed to hide here somewhere, but as long as he wasn’t a shape shifter that had turned into a bird, there was no sign of him anywhere. Every once in a while I took a look through the scope of my rifle, but there was nothing to see apart from a few mice and rabbits among the grass and the occasional bird flying overhead. This was by far the most boring patrol we’d done in ages, though, admittedly, with one of the best views. Something told me I’d miss it, once we were in action again, but right then I’d gladly had been shot at by a battalion of droids, just to escape the monotony. „Alright boys, let’s get back to camp. Breakfast should be ready any time now.“ „Any idea what’s on the menu today, Sarge?“ Linx laughed, knowing full well it’d be the same tasteless ration cubes as every day. „I’d say Roba sausages and Mon Cala algae salad.“ Bruised was in a good mood after all. „I’ll have a Nerf steak and fried eggs then.“ Linx answered. „And you, Sarge?“ I hesitated for a moment. It had been a while since I had some solid, tasty food and for a second I could not remember the taste of any of it. „I’d love some chicken.“ I finally chimed, pointing at one of the birds nearby. „Lucky you, ration cubes all taste like it anyway.“ Linx laughed, though, for a moment we all wished the cubes really had a flavor to them and be it only chicken.

My foot injury has healed and I finally managed to finish my entry for mission 2.1 of the 253rd Elite Legion. Not sure, whether I can whip up the other parts of the mission in time, though. Anyway, I hope you had a tasty breakfast today and can enjoy a view like Dantooine this summer somewhere.
