*Several Hours Ago*
Mac walks onto the bridge of a Republic Venator Class Star Destroyer. He walks over to the hologram projector Which General Skywalker, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, and General Obi-Wan stand around. Rex gesture him closer. He walks over to them and stands at attention. "You asked for me Generals?" Obi-Wan nods, and he relaxed. "So what superbly fun mission is in for me, and my men this time?"
Obi-Wan Clears his throat. "A recent Separatist attack on an outer rim world. At first reports were swarming in, talking about the most ridicules thing... Dead fellows killed in the Separatist invasion coming back to life, and killing every one, and everything that moved. Than all of a sudden they stopped coming, and all communication, Separatist, and civilian alike. We plan on sending a task force to kick any Separatist that are there our of the system. But before that is were you come in. You are going to do a little bit of aggressive reconnaissance."
Skywalker than pitched in. "We don't know what you'll be facing, so all i'll say is to be prepared for anything."
Mac nodded. "Noted."
Obi-Wan gestured him away. "You're to leave affect of immediately."
Mac Saluted, and walked out. He got down to the hanger bay were the rest of his squad was. He noticed that the Squad leader "Nick" was with them even though he took a direct hit from an anti-personal laser cannon on their last deployment. He looked to have come straight out of the med lab. He walked up to him. "you're to be in the med lab healing up, not here."
He shrugged. "What do you know i made a fast recovery. So what did the Generals say?"
"They said we are to leave for a new mission." He than went into details on the mission. "And General Obi-Wan said we are to leave immediately."
Their Heavy Weapon expert. 'Cutter' Gave a hoot, climbed into the shuttle that they have used for their missions for most of the war. "Than what are we waiting for? The war to end. Come one we got droids to blast!"
Nick gestured for the rest of the men to load up supplies, and than to prep for launch. He than turned back to Mac. "Do you believe any of the 'Walking Dead' mumbo jumbo?"
He laughed. "Why would I? It's a load of Bantha Dung. We all know that when something dies it stays dead, no comes back and kills things, that's our job, but than again... something had to have triggered those people to send those messages... Plus General Obi-Wan ordered us to be prepared for everything."
Nick nodded. "Shoot first ask questions later." They both laughed, and climbed into the shuttle which launched, and started to head for the target planet. After they exited Hyperspace they noticed a Separatist ship. "Wow wow wow evasive maneuvers!"
Nick put a hand on the pilot's shoulder. "Steady. We have not been spotted... Plus i see no running lights... Strange.:" he noticed a large doughnut shaped space station. "Head for that, and dock" The pilot nodded, and brought them in. Mac felt uneasy flying so close to separatist ships... even if their not shooting at them... yet.
After they failed to raise the space station on the com thy decided to gain access to the station by docking in an auxiliary hanger port. Mac found it strange that they spotted no droids (Separatist or other wise) Or even a deck officer. "Strange. Not even a droid." No one seemed to hear him so they quietly left the shuttle, and Nick ordered the pilot to take the shuttle to a safe distant, and to keep radio silence till the fleet arrives.
They sneaked around the station for awhile, but than Cutter got tired of sneaking around. "GAAA! Were are the droids! I want action not all this sneaking around crap. We have spotted no one, not even one of those stupid little mouse droids!"
Mac flicked him in the head, and whispered loudly "Be quiet!"
They than heard some clanking, from down a hall way. Cutter rushed over to see what it was, than whispered back to them. "I see some one. He crouched down in the middle of of the hall" The rest of the ten man squad peaked around and there they saw him. A man in gray clothing crouching on the floor, and he seemed to be eating? Mac called out to him, but tried to keep hbis voice down. 'Oi! Is there and droids?" The man stopped what ever he was doing, and stood up. They then saw what he was eating, it looked to be a mutilated corpse, but he couldn't tell what it was. "Oh, what the hell." Mac walked over to the man but kept his distant. "Uhh sir?" The man quickly turned around and lunged at him. He got a good look of his face before he slammed into him, blood smeared around his mouth and crazy looking eyes. He tackled him to the ground with in-human strength, and tried to keep him back, so he head butted him and he staggered backwards, and quickly pulled his rifle off his shoulder."SIR STAND DOWN! But the man did not listen just charged him again. 'I'm warning you!" The man was leaped at him but he ducked out the way, and him, and his squad shot him several times, but he seamed to be unscathed even though he could see the large blackened holes were he got shot. Cutter pulled his mini-gun out, and opened fire, and after a few hundred shots he seemed to do the trick.
They all walked over to the body guns raised. "What the hell was that!"
Nick shook his head. 'I don't know, but i'm guessing that is what the people were scared of." They heard screeching, and banging coming from further down the hall, they all aimed down the hall, and saw a wall of flesh, as a large group of people advanced on them, but they all blood smeared faces, and some had big gaping wounds that a person should have long died from. Nick shouted out. "Weapons free open up. And thy let loose with a hail of blue bolts, but out of the first row of people only a few dropped dead. They got pushed back till Nick ordered them to retreat. One of the troopers slowed down, and tripped, a gut jumped on him, and mac ran back to help shooting at the man, but his first couple of shots missed till he got closer he aimed and shot him in the head, and he dropped dead onto the trooper. Mac looked at the body for a few seconds but then helped the trooper to his feet, and they ran to catch up with the rest.
They locked them self in some kind of mess hall, so they could catch their breath. Than a loud banging noise arose from the door. Cutter was the first to speak. "What the hell are they! They're unkillable!"
Mac spoke in between breathes. "No they're kill able. We just need to shoot them in the right spot."
