It's an all Republic Commando update. I've finally finished unpacking and have all my books back and have be re-reading. I can't help it, I love the characters (okay, most of the characters) in the novels/game in spite of my objections to Karen Traviss. Oh well.
Enjoy!

Consequentialism: The ends justify the means
Delta 07 watches the gunship lift off through gaps in the smoking foliage.
He was too slow; too much time spent shooting, not enough running. He should have been able to blast a commando sized hole in those hostiles, shouldn't have thought about it so hard, shouldn't have taken cover and called for backup from the squad. They had a job to do; they couldn't wait for freeloaders.
It would be alright though he has a job too. Sev begins to hum; applies bacta to the most accessible of his wounds, reloads and sights up the next target. He understands.
