Mac opened coms to the pilots. "Land us as near as to the landing zone as you can than get out of here, and tell command to not let any ship leave the system."

The pilot nodded. "Yes sir."

As the flew over the landing zone Mac, and the others leaned out to see what' going on. All they could see was walkers, equipment, and blood. But nothing else, no bodies no troopers, not even one of the things. It looked to fake to Mac. "I got a bad feeling about this."

Cutter was using a pair of binoculars to look around the surrounding era. "I can nothing. Thousands of troopers and i can't see a single one. How in the galaxy is that even possible? Nic shrugged but said nothing. But than off in the distant a red streak flew into the air. Mac recognized it as a flare. "Pilot get us as close to that flare."

He could tell he confused the pilot. "What about the landing zone sir?"

Mac shook his head. "There's nothing there for us. That fare means survivors, survivors mean answers, answers mean we can go home sooner." As the gunship flew towards the now died out flare Mac looked at the ground. At first he saw no movement, but than he saw a box fall over, and one of th things come lumbering out from behind it, it was wearing trooper armor. Nic spotted it as well.

"How can they infect the troopers? That armor would prevent any bites."

Mac looked closer and saw the trooper.. no the thing didn't have any armor and the right fore arm. "Cause they tore the armor off them" As they closed in on the area were the flare is Mac than spoke to the pilot. "Pilot circle the area we must let the survivors see us."

The pilot said nothing but he could tell he complied for the gunship started to make big circles around the area. As they passed a building he spotted the flicker, and movement of a flashlight. He looked back at the building to confirm what he saw, and he saw the flicker again. He yelled to the pilot, and pointed to the building. The gunship turned around and headed back to the building, but as they closed in they got shook, like a massive hand just smacked the rear of the gunship As they started now crashing towards the building Marc looked behind him and saw they tail was on fire, and saw a lone rocket droid was being surrounded by the things. But before he could report he was lunged forwards and knocked out. He woke up, and placed his hand to his forehead. He touched his forehead again. He than noticed with a shock his helmet was removed. He bolted up and pulled out a blaster from his holster.

A hand was placed on his shoulder and he was about the turn around to shoot who ever owned the hand but he noticed the feel, and grip was not one of them, and noticed it was Cutter. He placed his pistol back into it's holster and turned around t face Cutter. He also had his helmet removed and had a blood stained bandage over his cheek. But for some reason he looked sad. "Cutter what's the problem?"

He looked around the room. The room didn't look to be on the floor that the gunship crashed into for it was ground level. He also noticed several Civilians, a about six other troopers who were not in squad. But the one thing that he noticed was the body on the floor. It was wearing armor in his ARC Trooper squad paint scheme, and it had a bloodied cloth over the head, he than realized who it was. It was Commander Nic. Marc walked over to the body. "What happened?"

Cutter walked up to him. He had a large gash across his face including a neck wound. Both were from the crash. Me and the others tried to drag you, and Nic to safety but than we were ambushed but thous things. We were thinking about leaving you, and Nic behind but than Captain Lock, and Zoey appeared and helped us fight them off. They brought us here, and that was when Nic flat lined. We tried to revive him, but he just lost to much blood. We were beginning to wonder when you would go to till you woke up."

Nic nodded. "Alright that means I am in charge now... Captain Lock, Zoey I would like to thank you two fro helping my men. But now we must get a way out of here." Lock told him that him and his men were from the landing Zone before it got over run, and that as they tried to get to a safe area thy bumped into Zoey and her little band of survivors. They were the ones to launch the flare trying to get their attention, and they thought that they would finally get out of here before the Gunship got shot down. Zoey said that there were plenty of Droids still around, but all they do was wonder around shooting every thing that moved.

They than started discussing what their next sets of actions should be, till one of his squad mates "Marck" started yelling at them on how pointless it all was, but Marc was able to get him in order. After a while of searching the room Marc found a tunnel hidden by a trap door, and they took it, just as the door gave in.

The tunnel as small no one was even able to crouch so they all had too crawl, and there was no lights so the few troopers who had flash lights on their helmets lit them up. After a few hours of crawling they came across another trap door and they went through it. The room it was inside was what looked to be a droid shop.

As the other rested they hurting backs and knees Mac looked around. That was when he found a modified R series astromech droid. It looked to have been made for combat. Heavy plating was bolted over the droid, and the head was replaced with a small domed turret with two blaster barrels sticking out of it. Mac turned it on, and the other gathered around it. It seemed to be still able to perform Astromech Droid duties but was now more lethal, the droids designation was R2-C5. through out the shop were the tools, and weapons to do similar modification to the same kind of droid or similar droids, and the thing that almost made him cry was that there was the long range comm system. Mac smiled taking this as a sign that things were getting better.
