DESIGNATION: CT-1807
NICKNAME: Scout
RANK: ARC Commander grade I
UNIT: 1st Recon Detachment, 3rd Regiment of the 253rd Elite Legion
"Six rockets burst from the trees behind me and roared towards the formation of three MSP80 Pteropter craft that were quickly approaching our positions along the cliffside. We had spent the last five standard hours ascending the sheer cliff that made up the northern side of the Trandoshan's mountain fortress. The rockets neared their targets their pink contrails beginning to fade, in a panic the three Trandoshan craft broke formation and attempted to avoid the oncoming projectiles, a futile attempt for the missiles had successfully locked onto their targets, which exploded in brilliant flashes of light their remains plummeting downwards into the jungle canopy kilometers below us. During the Trandoshans aerial assault the rest of the Detachment had abandoned their ropes and had used their jetpacks to quickly climb what few meters were between them and the top of the cliff. Now all seven squads of the First Recon Detachment of the Two Hundred Fifty Third Legion's Third Regiment stood in the clearing along the cliffside. Each squad consisted of nine troopers the yellow and grey markings on their armor designating their specialties, the troopers loading fresh rockets into their Plx-1 launchers belong to Squad Zeta, the detachments heavy weapons and demolitions specialists. They had saved the detachment four times in the last four hours by singlehandedly destroying a total of eight Trandoshan Pteropters. A kilometer north loomed our objective the ancient ruins of a Sith temple the spot where the Trandoshans had allegedly summoned an ancient Sith… I hate force users. The terrain between us and the temple was mostly barren with patches of shrubbery, small trees and rock outcrops providing the only concealment for our advance, our best bet was to hit them hard and fast. Vaulting undergrowth and weaving between rocks, I lead my men in a mad dash for the temples crumbling walls. We were close... a meer hundred meters from the wall, when the overgrown battlements erupted into a brilliant storm of red blaster bolts. Nine troopers in the lead squads were cut down instantly, their armor torn to pieces by the sheer volume of fire that had engulfed us. Screaming for my men to take cover I threw myself behind a rock and turned to watch the carnage unfold. Another six troopers fell victim to the Trandoshan's fire while the rest disengaged and found cover behind rocks, small trees, shrubs and the bodies of the fallen. A tree which two troopers sheltered behind was cut in half by a concentrated volley of blaster fire, the two troopers were eviscerated by the red plasma. If we stayed here any longer the Detachment would be destroyed, tearing my gaze away from my dyeing men I peered out from behind my cover and searched for a blind spot in the Trandoshan's kill zone. As soon as I Identified one in the shadow of a crumbling tower I burst from cover without any hesitation using my jetpack to launch myself parallel to the ground towards the wall moving to fast for the Trandoshans to hit. The distance closed rapidly, I barely managed to rotate my thrusters in time to slow my approach enough that my legs wouldn't disintegrate from the impact the wall. Kicking upwards I virtually ran up the wall as sped upwards I pulled two thermal detonators from my belt and primed each. Five seconds... four... three... two... one.. suddenly the all ended and I was staring into the surprised faces of a squad of Trandoshans, I nailed the closest one in the nose with the first thermal detonator the impact knocking him down and tossed the second one towards a pile of crates, containing what I assumed to be blaster batteries. Gunning it I accelerated upwards before the Trandoshans could react, below me the entire top of the wall erupted into a massive fireball, turns out I was right about the crates. Knowing Lucky, my second in command would organize what remained of the Detachment I took off towards the temple scanning the courtyards for my prey. There he was just outside the eastern gate butchering a squad of clones, I took up a position on top of a ruined tower and zeroed in on the massive beast below. The Trandoshan was larger than most clad in several pelts and black armor, in one hand he held a crimson lightsaber and in the other a struggling clone trooper. With my target centered in my crosshairs I held my breath a slowly squeezed the trigger of my DC-15x sniper rifle. The blue bolt left the barrel of my weapon with a soft thump an raced towards its target hitting the lizard in the neck just below the head, a miss, but a killing blow none the less... the only problem being he didn't die or appear phased by the blast at all. Dropping the clone he turned and stared right at me, cursing I took to the air barely dodging the crimson blade which exploded through the tower behind me. Normally a shot like that would have taken any other creatures head from it's shoulders, but it hadn't, kriffing Sith. I had one option left, but I would have to get close, soaring downwards I rapidly closed the gap between me and the hulking Trandoshan, once I was sure the distance between us would make missing impossible I began to overcharge my rifle, pouring every ounce of energy from the blaster's battery into one round and fired. The force of the blast immediately melted the barrel of my rifle and knocked me from the sky I hit the ground hard, but alive. Rolling over I tossed my now useless rifle away and drew my pistol ready to engage this beast if it had not died from my pervious attack. On the ground in front of me lay the Trandoshans hulking form a neat smoking half circle took up most of it's upper body the lizards head was gone, evaporated along with most of his torso...
Keying my commlink I gave the all clear, target eliminated."

Wow that was a mouthful, believe it or not I had a longer one, but my computer decided to spare you guys from it and deleted it twice...
It's good to be building again, I've been busy with work and putting together 40k miniatures, but I'm hoping to make more time for lego again because man this build and log were a ton of fun!
Also first time using my new camera, still haven't figured it out quite yet and not gonna lie kind of like my old one more, don't get me wrong the photo is amazing, it's just a little bright and AI couldn't figure out for the life of me how to tone it down.
Welp here's a cookie for all those who made it this far and read everything, you guys deserve a medal.
As always thanks for viewing and have a good one!

Inspired by Enemy at the Gates. These detachments of about 500 soldiers were created in order to prevent entire armies from deserting in the face of overwhelming German forces during the earlier part of the war. However in practice, they were only partially successful.
Before the German detachment left Shkodra, the had errected and inaugurated a memorial stone at the Buna shore. Anyone knows when it was removed/destroyed?

Yeah, I just had one of those. Fortunately, emergency surgery was successful and things are getting back to normal. Need to make some photographs again!

Mise à jour vendredi 29 septembre :
Aujourd'hui, les nouvelles ne sont pas vraiment bonnes ... Le test des anti corps sanguins pour la PIF indique que les valeurs sont hautes mais ne peuvent pas affirmer à 100 % qu'elle est atteinte de la PIF donc elle va redemander une nouvelle analyse et les résultats de seront livrés que dans le milieu de la semaine prochaine.
La cortisone ne semble pas réduire l'inflammation de son oeil gauche, elle peut augmenter un peu la dose mais il y a un risque que cela aggrave son rhume ....
L'endoscopie sur son nez faite aujourd'hui a montré des parois bien enflammées, normal elle est enrhumée ! Le rinçage du nez a été fait aussi.
J'ai demandé si elle souffre ? La vétérinaire me dit qu'elle ne semble pas avoir des douleurs mais qu'elle est très gênée par son rhume.
Je n'aurai pas d'appel ce week-end et donc il faut attendre lundi pour savoir si le nouvel antibiotique qu'elle reçoit depuis hier fait effet pour stopper ce rhume.
J'ai dit que chaque jour les nouvelles m'attristent et que bientôt elle m'annoncera peut-être que Jade a un cancer .....
Alors je prendrai une décision en début de semaine à savoir la maintenir en vie avec un si gros rhume et un oeil pareillement enflammé et ne plus pouvoir manger par elle-même sans cette sonde dans l'oesophage.
Merci pour tous vos messages tout au long de ces jours.
-------
Mise à jour jeudi 28 septembre 2017 :
L'hôpital m'a appelée à 19 h pour me dire que le nez de Jade coule encore beaucoup malgré l'antibiotique depuis une semaine, alors demain la vétérinaire va changer l'antibiotique (je me suis dit que c'était peut-être le moment !)
Demain ils vont l'anesthésier pour lui faire un rinçage du nez et une endoscopie pour aller voir plus haut ses muqueuses.
Ses intestins ont enfin fonctionné, quelle chance !
Le résultat de la prise des sang et des anti corps pour savoir si elle a la PIF ou non n'est pas arrivé !! Depuis 3 jours que j'attends cette réponse ! Elle va appeler le laboratoire demain et faire revoir Jade par l'ophtalmologue.
J'espère que ce rinçage du nez et des nouveaux antibiotiques font faire cesser ce rhume et qu'ils pourront lui retirer la sonde pour manger.
Croisons les doigts pour que demain je ne reçoive pas des mauvaises nouvelles, j'ai eu mal à la tête aujourd'hui avec notre conversation d'hier.
Merci à tous pour votre soutien, je le dirai à Jade combien on l'aime ici.
Bisous à tous.

Mise à jour mercredi 27 septembre :
Les résultats des tests sanguins pour savoir si elle a la PIF ou non ne sont pas encore arrivés.
Je rappelle que ce test des anti corps a été faits car l'inflammation de son oeil pourrait être un symptôme de la PIF.
Donc si elle n'a pas la PIF (ce que j'espère) de quoi vient ce décollement de rétine de son oeil ???
Jade reprend de la vigueur, mais elle est toujours très enrhumée ce qui veut dire qu'actuellement les antibiotiques n'agissent pas et nul ne sait quand ils feront de l'effet.
La vétérinaire me dit que je pourrais aller la chercher demain, mais comme elle a encore une sonde dans l'estomac depuis son oesophage pour la nourrir et qu'il faut lui donner des antibiotiques et de la cortisone par voie orale et des gouttes de cortisone dans les yeux, comment arriverai-je à lui administrer tout cela ? Cela va être trop difficile pour moi car Jade n'est pas facile à soigner. Alors j'ai demandé s'ils ne pouvaient pas la garder encore quelques jours car si son rhume guérit, elle pourrait peut-être à nouveau manger d'elle-même et ainsi la sonde serait retirée.
Vous savez que je suis impatiente de la récupérer mais pas dans ces conditions, chez moi ce serait l'hôpital !
Donc on rediscutera demain avec cette vétérinaire.

Mise à jour mardi 26 septembre :
Jade avait de la fièvre hier aujourd'hui elle n'en a pas eue et elle est plus vive qu'hier.
Ils lui mettent des gouttes de cortisone dans les yeux et vont aussi lui en donner par voie orale.
J'ai demandé si je pouvais aller la voir mais ils me le déconseillent car c'est compliqué puisqu'elle est à l'isolement et ensuite Jade va croire que je viens la chercher et elle sera triste après que je ne l'emmène pas avec moi.
Malgré les antibiotiques elle est toujours enrhumée, ils disent que parfois cela peut agir au bout d'une semaine (on y arrive bientôt) cela dépend des chats.
Les résultats du test des anti corps dans le sang pour la PIF ne sont pas encore connus.
Voilà les nouvelles du jour. Qu'elle soit plus vive est un bon signe alors ce soir je reprends un peu espoir.

Mise à jour lundi 25 septembre :
L'hôpital m'a appelée ce soir, Jade semble un peu plus éveillée, mais le rhume est toujours là et l'état de son oeil semble s'aggraver avec une inflammation de l'iris et un décollement de la rétine. J'imagine quelle perd la vue. ...
La vétérinaire pense que l'état de son oeil pourrait venir de la PIF (maladie mortelle pour le chat) , elle va reprendre du sang pour des nouvelles analyses et voir les anti corps. Il se peut qu'elle ait une infection bactérienne.
Le test du calici virus est négatif, mais il y a plusieurs familles de coryza.
Elle ne mange toujours pas d'elle-même, bien sûr elle a une sonde de l'oesophage à l'estomac et n'a probablement pas de sensation de faim, mais il est risqué de retirer la sonde si finalement elle ne mange pas puisque son nez est toujours bouché par le rhume.
La vétérinaire me rappellera demain soir pour donner des nouvelles.
Cela devient difficile de penser positif avec tout ce que cette vétérinaire m'a dit aujourd'hui.
Bien sûr un chat peut vivre avec le coryza mais au moindre stress il peut se re-déclarer, et si elle a une PIF (Péritonite infectieuse féline) je ne ferai pas d'acharnement ......

Nouvelles infos :
Aujourd'hui 22 septembre, l'hôpital m'a appelée pour me dire que l'anesthésie s'est bien passée et que le scanner ne révèle pas d'abcès, ni de tumeur, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle au moins pour une tumeur, ils pensent qu'elle a une sévère rhinite un calicivirus de la famille du coryza ou de l’herpès. Je n’ai pas tout compris, cette dresse ne parle pas bien français. (Berne est en Suisse allemande).
Ils n'ont pas encore le résultat des analyses.
Hier ils excluaient le coryza et aujourd'hui ils en reparlent ou du moins de ce virus de la famille du coryza.
Elle ne mange toujours pas, ils ont posé une sonde depuis l'oesophage pour la nourrir. Ils continuent la perfusion et les antibiotiques.
Un ophtalmologue doit revenir examiner ses yeux puisque l'un des deux est devenu vert et enflé.
Elle va rester au Tierspital à Berne encore ce week-end et j'aurai des nouvelles informations lundi.
Je ne suis pas encore rassurée hélas .....
----
Ma Jade est très malade depuis le 10 septembre, elle est enrhumée et donc sans odorat un chat ne mange plus. Mercredi dernier elle ne pesait plus que 2 kg aujourd'hui elle doit encore avoir perdu du poids car elle ne veut pas manger.
J'ai consulté 3 fois son vétérinaire le 12, le 15 et le 19 septembre, il lui a donné des antibiotiques qui n'ont fait aucun effet, et je suis passée par divers diagnostics différents : d'une rhinite à un corps étranger coincé dans son nez qui serait la cause de ses éternuements, puis au coryza et hier à peut-être un abcès..... Le coryza ayant été éliminé de la cause de sa maladie hier soir, parce qu'un oeil qui enfle ainsi ne figure pas dans les symptômes du coryza.
Elle est au Tierspital à Berne depuis mercredi et ce matin elle passera un scanner car hier un oeil est devenu vert et il enfle de plus en plus et il lui fait mal. Ils vont lui poser une sonde pour la nourrir. Elle est perfusée depuis mardi matin.
Berne est à 100 km de chez moi donc je ne l'ai pas revue depuis mercredi quand j'ai effectué son transfert là-bas.
L'hôpital m'appellera dans l'après-midi pour me donner le résultat du scanner.
Je suis bien triste et angoissée et elle me manque beaucoup ma choupette.

Last Updated Friday 29 September:
Today the news is not really good ... The anti blood test for PIF indicates that the values are high but can not say 100% that she is infected with BIP so she will ask for a new analysis and results will be delivered only in the middle of next week.
Cortisone does not seem to reduce the inflammation of its left eye, it can increase a little the dose but there is a risk that it aggravates its cold ....
The endoscopy on her nose made today showed the walls well inflamed, normal she is a cold! The rinsing of the nose was also done.
I asked if she is suffering? The veterinarian tells me that she does not seem to have pain but that she is very embarrassed by her cold.
I will not have a call this weekend and so we must wait until Monday to know if the new antibiotic she receives since yesterday has effect to stop this cold.
I said that every day the news makes me sad and that soon she will announce to me that Jade has a cancer .....
So I will make a decision at the beginning of the week to keep it alive with such a big cold and a similarly inflamed eye and not be able to eat by itself without this probe in the esophagus.
Thanks for all your messages throughout these days.
--------
Updated Thursday, September 28, 2017:
The hospital called me at 7 pm to tell me that the nose of Jade still flows a lot despite the antibiotic for a week, so tomorrow the veterinarian will change the antibiotic (I thought maybe it was the moment !)
Tomorrow they go to anesthetize it to make a rinsing of the nose and an endoscopy to go to see higher its mucous membranes.
His intestines finally worked, what a chance!
The result of taking blood and anti bodies to know if she has the PIF or not has not arrived !! For 3 days I have been waiting for this answer! She's going to call the lab tomorrow and see Jade again by the ophthalmologist.
I hope that this rinsing of the nose and the new antibiotics cause to stop this cold and that they will be able to withdraw the probe to him to eat.
Let's cross our fingers so that tomorrow I do not get bad news, I had a headache today with our conversation yesterday.
Thank you all for your support, I will tell Jade how much we love him here.
Kisses to all.

Last Updated Wednesday 27 September:
The results of the blood tests to know whether she has the PIF or not have not yet arrived.
I recall that this antibody test was done because the inflammation of his eye could be a symptom of PIF.
So if it does not have the PIF (which I hope) what does this retina detachment from its eye ???
Jade regains strength, but it is still very cold, which means that antibiotics do not currently act and no one knows when they will make the effect.
The veterinarian told me that I could go and get her tomorrow but as she still has a probe in her stomach from her esophagus to feed her and that she must be given antibiotics and oral cortisone and drops of cortisone in the eyes, how shall I manage to administer all this? This is going to be too difficult for me as Jade is not easy to care for. So I asked if they could not keep it for a few more days because if her cold heals, she might perhaps eat again on her own and so the probe would be removed.
You know I can not wait to get it back, but not in these conditions, at home it would be the hospital!
So we will discuss this tomorrow with this veterinarian.
------
Last Updated Tuesday 26 September:
Jade had a fever yesterday today she did not have and it is more lively than yesterday.
They put cortisone drops in his eyes and will also give it orally.
I asked if I could go see her but they advise against it because it is complicated since she is in isolation and then Jade will believe that I come to look for her and she will be sad after I do not take her with me.
In spite of the antibiotics she is always cold, they say that sometimes it can act after a week (it arrives soon) it depends on the cats.
The results of the antibody test in blood for FIP are not yet known.
That is the news of the day. That it is more lively is a good sign so tonight I take a little hope.
---
Last Updated Monday 25 September:
The hospital called me tonight, Jade seems a little more awake, but the cold is still there and the condition of his eye seems to get worse with inflammation of the iris and detachment of the retina. I imagine what loses sight. ...
The veterinarian thinks that the state of her eye could come from the PIF (deadly disease for the cat), she will take blood for new analyzes and see the anti-bodies. She may have a bacterial infection.
The calici virus test is negative, but there are several families of coryza.
She still does not eat of herself, of course she has an esophagus probe in the stomach and probably does not feel hungry, but it is risky to remove the probe if she finally does not eat since his nose is always blocked by the cold.
The veterinarian will call me tomorrow evening to give some news.
It becomes difficult to think positively with everything this veterinarian told me today.
Of course a cat can live with coryza but at the least stress it can re-declare, and if she has a PIF (infectious feline peritonitis) I will not be fierce ......
----
Update :
Today, September 22, the hospital called me to tell me that the anesthesia went well and that the scanner does not reveal any abscess or tumor, which is good news at least for one tumor, they think she has a severe rhinitis a calicivirus from the family of coryza or herpes. I did not understand everything, this set does not speak French well. (Berne is in German-speaking Switzerland).
They do not yet have the results of the analyzes.
Yesterday they excluded the coryza and today they talk about it or at least of this virus of the coryza family.
She still does not eat, they put a probe from the esophagus to feed her. They continue the infusion and antibiotics.
An ophthalmologist must come back to examine his eyes since one of the two became green and swollen.
She will stay at the Tierspital in Bern again this weekend and I will have news on Monday.
I am not yet reassured alas .....
----
My Jade is very sick since September 10, she is a cold and so without smell a cat does not eat any more. Last Wednesday she weighed only 2 kg today she must still have lost weight because she does not want to eat.
I consulted his veterinarian three times on the 12th, 15th and 19th September, he gave him antibiotics that had no effect, and I went through various diagnoses: from a rhinitis to a foreign body stuck in his nose that would be the cause of his sneezing, then to the coryza and yesterday to perhaps an abscess ..... The coryza having been eliminated from the cause of his illness last night, because an eye that swells thus does not does not appear in the symptoms of coryza.
She is at the Tierspital in Bern since Wednesday and this morning she will pass a scan because yesterday an eye has become green and it swells more and more and it hurts. They will put a probe to feed her. She is infused since Tuesday morning.
Bern is 100 km from my home so I have not seen it since Wednesday when I made his transfer there.
The hospital will call me in the afternoon to give me the result of the scan.
I am very sad and anguished and I miss my little heart.
