Chapter 5: Battle Damage
Starcraftre attached and dropped to the floor. He looked at his radar and saw the reason for the call. 20 red dots were clustered around the doorway. He whispered an idea to cdtset and sat back. Cd grabbed a grenade off of his belt and took out the pin. He lobbed it through the doorway. Starcraftre watched it land and ducked as the grenade exploded. The fragments clattered against the ceiling and he looked up. There were only 5 left.
It wouldn't do to try that again, they probably would expect it, Star explained to Cd. No, they would have to kill them manually. He ducked back down as a red-helmeted head peered in. A revolver followed it. The eyes scanned the room before the trooper stepped in. Starcraftre whispered to his troopers that he would handle it. He unclipped his PA again and looked through. He pressed the trigger with a click that swung the enemy around. The trooper dropped to the ground and his revolvers slid towards Star, who picked them up.
He checked them, saw they were loaded, and stuck them in a pack on his armor. He went around to the engineer who was still setting up turrets.
"Sorry, sir, that's the last of them, I've run out of minerals. There's a nice deposit about 1 mile south of here, but I don't think I can make it there and back."
"Okay, good job to all of you. Cd, see if you and an infantry can flush out the 3 left at the door."
"Will do, sir."
The engineer roamed through some more boxes looking for mines when he came upon something. He called Starcraftre back over. Star looked down and saw the Improved cloaks, just enough too….
Star swirled around when he heard the chattering of machine gun fire outside. Cd came running back in and made a drop pack.
"Reinforcements, sir."
A pistol shot punctuated this. Star felt something slug his hand. The medic came running over as Cd shot his blaster into the enemy's head.
