Downfall Chapter:X
Downfall Chapter X: An Unlikely Savior
(The Old Man in the Mountain)
—-BEGIN TRANSMISSION—
It has been a couple of months since we have lost contact with command. The Emperor was lost and the last transmission we received told us to continue our work, alllllll the way from the top. Whispers of complete destruction of garrisons had been going around, morale is lower than ever. The things we do here cannot be talked about on this recording, I do not know who will be left to discipline me if we do though. Prior to the loss of communication we had a small presence in the region taxing and taking cargo from the locals. But after the command structure fell we retreated into the mountains in order to protect the research being conducted here. What we are doing here is more important than what in my opinion was terrorizing the locals. I always thought that what we were doing outside of the facility was an excuse to have a large presence here, to feign ignorance. There's nothing we can do from here besides let the scientists continue their work. I feel the guilt eating away for everything we have done…I've had too much time to think. However, more concerning is the fact that pirates have run rampant throughout the villages around us and the almighty new republic is nowhere to help them. Their poorly trained militia cannot repel the attacks, they are easy pickings for anyone looking to make some quick credits. Scouts reported that they recently moved to a village near us, I think I’ll take my squad down and deal with it personally. After all I can’t have us finding our work up here. Perhaps I’ll be able to sleep at night, my conscience might be a little lighter. I am a leader after all, the only thing left I can do is lead my troopers. I don't think they will thank us but I will try anyway. My troopers haven't had any action in a few rotations. It will be good for morale. I half hope it's for the last time. I am old, I didn’t think my final days would be stuck up in the mountains. For the fallen…..for the Empire.
