3 standard days before Order 66...
Jedi Knight Atan Fey sighed as the gunships flew through the atmosphere of Andronia a beautiful, lush, Mid Rim planet. The planet was under Separatist siege, and it was up to her and the men of the 611th to set it free. In her tired, weary mind this was just going to be another battle filled with killing and death. When will it all end? she often wondered to herself. She found herself bowing her head in remembrance for all the men she hadn't been able to save during the past three years. They had all died nobly, that she was sure of. Some had died in the most horrific ways possible on the battlefield, some being blown to bits or torn apart by blaster fire. Others had sacrificed themselves to save a fellow brother's life. It was that kind of honor these men had that she admired. Even more of these brave men were going to die senselessly in another senseless battle. "Sir, are you OK?" a familiar voice asked across from her. Atan knew who the voice belonged too. Even though all the men shared the same voice, it was particular man who showed her more concern than the rest. She looked up to give Captain Dodge a tired smile and a nod of the head.
"I'm fine," she said. She couldn't see the look on Dodge's helmeted face, but she could imagine it was one of concern. Dodge had always been closer to her than the rest of the clones. She knew he would gladly sacrifice his own life for hers. Atan trusted him with her life. After all the two had been fighting had been fighting along side each other for two standard years.
"Are you sure?" he asks, genuine concern in his voice. Atan nodded not bothering to say she was fine again.
"I'm just worried about these men. I know a lot of them won't make it back alive and it is just sad. I don't know who will make it back," she said. Dodge nodded his head in understanding.
"Believe me, I get it. I don't know if the trooper standing next to me will make it back. I don't even know if I'll make it back but I accept that. At least I'll die fighting for something worthwhile," he said.
A sad sigh escaped from Atan. " I'm starting to wonder if it's not so worthwhile," she said.
