"Do you see anything, Jans?"
"That's a negative."
The two stormtroopers stepped over unruly tree roots, E-11 rifles in hand. They had just landed on the surface of an unexplored planet in the Unknown Regions, the planet Iyega.
"I heard that we've launched men here before, but no one came back."
"We always hear something. Now shut up. Go that way, I'll keep going straight."
They parted ways. Jans walked quietly, surveying the area. He didn't see anything, but he heard plenty of animals chittering and calling to each other. Jans glanced around, and felt his foot step in something warm. He looked down in disgust.
"Blech!" He shook the fecal matter off his foot. "Great."
He was really upset. All that training in the Imperial Academy, graduating in the top 3%, and exceeding repeatedly in the line of duty, for this? Scouting duty on an unexplored planet? He sighed frustratedly. He really hated working for the Empire.
A branch snapping to his right suddenly caught his attention. He looked over, ready to shoot, and saw nothing. Jans lowered his weapon and continued on. He turned on his comlink and tried talking to the other trooper.
"You see anything?"
Nothing.
"Hey, do you see anything?"
Still nothing.
"You there?"
Finally, something. Static. Jans started to panic. He ran, trying to find his way back. All the trees looked the same! He felt like he was running in circles. Jans kept running, not paying attention to anything around him.
After what felt like an eternity, he stopped running to catch his breath. He took off his helmet and wiped away the sweat on his forehead, muttering a curse about the heat. He put his helmet back on, grunting as he did so. With great reluctance, he continued trekking onward.
Another sound to his left caught his attention. He turned quickly. A sharp pain cut across his torso, and he screamed. His hands moved down to his stomach, and warm liquid met his fingers. He was pushed to his back, and everything went black.
