Charmer jerked up, or at least, he tried to. He was awake, of that he was certain and he was still alive so that was something.
He had no idea what had happened. Him and Eno had been on the way to the armoury when it was like the the walls had exploded around them.
Charmer took it slow, shifting slightly, moving his head left and right a little. No sudden moves in case whatever was on top of him shifted and crushed him like a Gundark crushing... Well, a Gundark crushing anything really.
It was completely dark, the debris not letting in any light but there was something... Heat! A building heat that he could feel even through his armour. There was a fire, of course there was a fire.
Charmer pulled his arms up to his chest and pushed with all his strength. It was enough and the sheet of durasteel that was trapping him slowly shifted off. He grunted as with one final push the sheet was off him and he sat panting. His helmet helped him breath through the thick smoke and he took in the readings on his visor, looking for signs of life.
He took a deep breath and looked around him. Where was Eno?! Perhaps more importantly right now, fires were raging throughout the sector and until proven otherwise Charmer could safely assume that there even more throughout the station.
As he looked around his attention was drawn to the wall the explosion had actually came from. There wasn't much left but it looked as if some sort of shuttle had hit the station. He was lucky to be alive and mostly unscathed. The main body of the thing looked mostly intact but he would look for survivors later, right now these fires had to be dealt with.
Suddenly he heard a loud clanging and he looked to the right, a large lumbering carbonite war droid was approaching the crash site. War droids had been installed in the station earlier in its construction to deter any pirate attacks. This one must have believed the crash to have been some sort of attack and been activated.
The flamethrower usually found aboard the War droids had been replaced with a large carbonite spray nozzle incidents such as this. It began spraying the area nearby, struggling to put out the larger fires but slowly getting the job done. The hulking behemoth also carried a large blast resistant shield in it's other arm.
Charmer stood brushing himself off when his helmet finally alerted him to a nearby life sign. He began walking towards the source. Eno had been closer to the crash than he had at the time, he could only hope he had been as lucky to get away away unharmed.
Suddenly he found his path blocked by debris no man could dream of moving. He looked back over over to the lumbering droid and gave a quick whistle. The droid turned slowly, looking at him with cold blue eyes. "I need your help! Clear this stuff out of the way, would you?" Charmer cried out. The droid quickly made its way towards him, well, as fast as the thing could go.
The droid reached the wall of debris and stood still for a few seconds, analysing the obstacle before suddenly slamming it's shield down in front of Charmer making him yelp and jump back. "What the hell are you doing?!" Charmer shouted up the a large droid. It replied with two deep bleeps that sounded to charmer like the droid was calling him a wuss.
The droid began spraying down the debris with carbonite which quickly froze the heated metal before bashing it to tiny slivers with his canon. Shards of frozen metal glancing off the shield. Charmer gave a slight sigh of relief as he stepped around the shield, smacking his hand against it twice as a sign of thanks before moving quickly through the cleared path. He could now clearly see the shuttle ahead of him. It looked like a Zeta class shuttle which was surprisingly mostly intact although it's left wings had been sheered clean off. The main body seemed to have remained unscathed.
The life sign was right beside the crashed shuttle where the concentration of the debris was most intense. Eventually, he wormed his way through, to the source.
Charmer could only stare. His breathing became strained as he looked upon his fellow soldier, his brother in arms as blood dripped out from around a large wound in the left side of his stomach. Eno was pinned to the wall behind him by a thick shard of durasteel and his helmet had shattered perhaps after smashing against the wall. It had cracked open on the left side showing some of his scruffy hair now matted with blood.
Charmer rushed to his side, quickly recovering from the briefest second of panic, before kneeling and taking off the remains of Eno's helmet. Eno was alive and he planned to keep him that way.
He shook the boy gently and his eyes opened sluggishly like a drunkard with a hangover. Eno looked slowly at charmer before muttering "The armour didn't help much..." Charmer gave a light chuckle but he felt himself go cold. "I don't think they had this in mind when they made it buddy." Charmer replied, as he pulled a small med-pack from his belt.
Eno coughed weakly as he lay, before looking behind Charmer and smiling slightly "Well I'll be damned, a War droid. Never thought I'd see one of those bad boys up close..." He muttered to himself before raising a hand to wave. He quickly regretted the sudden movement and gasped, tears coming to his eyes.
"Stop moving! I'm going to patch you up and take you to see the Doc, then we can finally get off this planet and back to the Sentinel." Charmer said in an attempt to comfort the boy. "How does that sound, eh?"
There was no response. Charmer looked up to find Enough had passed out. He sighed and placed a bacta patch on the boys head. He doubted he would make it through the rest of the day and he had no idea how to deal with such a dangerous injury.
He looked around himself before his eyes came to rest on the cause of this chaos. He would have to check the shuttle for medical supplies.
