253rd 1.2: Sweet Spot

Number: CT-3155-37

Name: Splice

Rank: Trooper (Sergeant)

Designation: Radio Officer of the Second Regiment of the 253rd

 

Trooper Field Log-9-Zero days after Geonosis: New orders came in just a few minutes ago, Captain says that the Generals want us to start picking off some DSDs, can't say I'm too excited about the prospect of going up against one of those monsters.

 

Trooper Field Log-10-Zero days after Geonosis: Captain made me the new official sergeant of the squad. He said it was an honor to hold such a title, but seeing as the last two sergeants of the squad were killed, I'm really not all that excited. There's also the fact that I wasn't trained to lead, back on Kamino they told me all I'd be doing is operating the damned radio. Then again, it doesn't seem like anyone is really doing what they're supposed to anyways.

 

Trooper Field Log-11-Zero days after Geonosis: Well what d'ya know, I met the Commando pod I'm gonna be working with after we get out of this hell hole. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the idea of Commandos, but these boys didn't seem to bad, they said they were called Risi Squad. Interestingly, all of them had Mando'a names as well as their trooper nick-names, they said it 'keeps them close to their heritage'. Anyways, they gave me a Mando'a name of my own, apparently I'm gonna be going by Att'ne from now on. They also said I should give my squad an official Mando'a name, so we're calling ourselves Ad'ika Squad now, or "Child" Squad. Seemed appropriate.

 

Trooper Field Log-12-Zero days after Geonosis: We're heading out, apparently there's a small hanger we're supposed to take, command said that that's where the Seppies are deploying some of the DSDs.

 

Trooper Field Log-15-Zero days after Geonosis: We finally reached our target, and without any casualties. I had three of my men stay back just in case any Seppies try to come up behind us, while I took Levit up to the hanger. It wasn't long before we encountered a DSD. I told Levit to stay in cover while I got around to the back. one thing that the Commandos had told me was there was what they called a 'Sweet Spot' on the DSD's back, where the armor was least dense. I was glad to find a pile of crates to hide behind, now all I had to do was wait for the Fire'fek to turn around.

I'm aware that I'm a little early with this build, but I'm gonna be going out of town for thanksgiving, so I had to get this up. It was a little rushed in some senses, but I'm pleased with the result! All I have to do now is get better at photography...

 

Also, I've been having a lot of fun with these Trooper Logs, it's fun putting the little story together. I was trying to introduce a few themes with this build, mainly how certain clones, especially the more elite classes (who were trained by Mandalorians), appreciated their Mandalorian heritage. Anyways, I'm probably just writing them for myself anyways, I doubt anybody is reading these :P

 

Please give some CC if you guys have any!
