** Klaxons screamed as Elijah Hardin burned his mouth on the stew he was quaffing after a long days patrol. He immediately pulled his datapad from his satchel checking for an update. Reports scrolled across the screen detailing an explosion at a nearby storage facility. The Morellian Enforcer captain keyed his comm-link.
“Dan-L, load up, get the team gathered and meet me outside in two minutes.”
His faithful companion and battle hardened YVH battle droid replied hastily.
“Understood, Captain. Dan out.”
Hardin stuffed the datapad in his satchel and tightened the bags straps about his waist and shoulder, checked the cylinder of his Morellian .48 Enforcer pistol and went to his locker with haste. After pulling his modulating blaster rifle from its rack, cramming a fresh power cell into it and quickly stuffing some supplies into his purse he briskly walked to the front door and emerged from his simplistic domicile to a plume of smoke about a click away. Looking about he gathered his senses and took a deep breath. Dan-L, his sintheskin mimicking perspiration, came to a heavy, sliding halt in front of him and his response team in tow, struggling to keep up with the now antique droid.
“Captain, reports show that the last vestige of the occupying pirate force has launched a desperate counter-attack at the enforcer stocks.”
Eli looked calm and collected, the skirmishes with the pirates were almost over. One last battle would be welcome if it truly meant the end of the conflict.
“Me and the team will make our way there, get to Suzie, reverse her gravitational polarity and put the turret planet-side and cover our approach. Take Hawkins with you to man the gun.”
The human looking droid nodded and expressed an affirmative, bounding towards the ship parked behind Hardins house.
“What do you think boys? You got one last haroo in you?”
The men nodded a somber nod and were not all that excited to fight again, but they would hold true and do their jobs.
“Mount up and hold up behind me one hundred meters from the blast site. They will know were coming so we need to take this block-by-block. Karsin, you and Parketh cover up high on the building tops. The Susannah will keep you covered from any aerial attacks and I want you to take every shot those bastard pirates afford you. Show no quarter, we owe it to our beloved Captain Jothra to make these kriffing animals pay. Go now, get a head start and help Dan cover our approach, comm in at the first sign of the enemy.”
The seasoned sharpshooters saluted sharply, mounted their speeder bikes and pushed off towards the looming smoke and charred smell of what would be a wasteland of pirate scum in the hours ahead of them.
(ooc. Hello everyone, I’m happy to be here, please feel free if it makes sense for your character to join in but I would appreciate it if you messaged me first as this is my ‘joining the rebels’ origin thread and I have a specific plan in mind. I will be developing this over the better part of the night so turn based combat may be hard to do. GLHF)
