It only took a few hours for entire group of Clones to settle in and swarm the beach and pool areas. Most of the officers in their little band of brothers could tell that most residents residing in the area where displeased at the fact that there were so many soldiers crowding this luxury resort. They believed that every single one of the troopers should have been out on the front lines protecting the Republic from the Separatist menace. But this didn't stop the troopers from having fun and taking a relaxing vacation on the beach.

LOST

Hardcase was lost. Really lost. He didn't have a clue on where he was. Every single turn he would take would only send him deeper into the abyss. He was bred to keep calm in dire situations but all of that engineering and training he went through couldn't help the fact that he was completely lost.

After he had unpacked and and settled into his room, he decided to try and find a hidden pool that a janitor had told him about upon the group's arrival. So he commenced his journey and started in the direction that he was told the pool was based. But that had been an two hours ago, and there was no sign of a hidden pool anywhere. He was beginning to think that the janitor was making a fool out of Hardcase. But the signs seemed legitimate.

Hardcase kept coming across cheap wooden signs with the words "HIDDEN POOL" written on them. Below that, there would be another set of directions like "TURN LEFT UP AHEAD". But every time he made a turn that the sign advised him to make, he would just end up even more lost.

Once again he came across a wooden sign with the "HIDDEN POOL" written on it. Hardcase leaned in to read the directions on the bottom of the sing. "Turn right on the... next turn... what?"

The directions where also written in a confusing manor that almost made it like a puzzle. He thought about the strange sentence he had just read for a minute. Then he began to walk onwards to the Hidden Pool.

"Should we tell him?" Asked an almost concerned Kix.

The two other men looked at each other and then shook their heads in unison. "Nah", replied Fives.

"Besides", continued the janitor. "This is extremely entertaining." Kix looked down from the catwalk they were hiding on, and watched as Hardcase came across another sign. He seemed exhausted and defeated.

"Bloody Hell!" Hardcase began. "I'm going in circles!" Fives and the janitor began to snicker.

"Oh, I almost forgot", Fives said out of the blue, "here are your credits good sir". Fives placed a small pile of credits in the janitor open hand. The janitor began to count the amount he had been given.

"Alright", the man said. "This should do. Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to work." And with that the man was off.

Kix looked at Fives like he had just committed murder. "Are you serious?!" Fives looked up at Kix with a confused look. "You just payed that man because he helped play a prank on Hardcase." Fives began to laugh while nodding.

"Listen, we all need our source of fun and games", he stated. "And our source comes from that moron." Fives pointed down at a very disoriented Hardcase. He began to laugh again and then he leaned back and picked up a small pile of wooden signs. "Now if you'll excuse me", Fives said as he began to stand up, "I have some signs to set up and a idiot to mess with".
