The giant eel collapses to the ground and stops moving. About the same time the blaster fire from above ceases but a loud explosion send pieces of the fire spray soaring over the cliff. From above them the rookies see a group of four individuals dressed in clone armor descending on grappling hooks.

Blast puts another volley into the Eel just to be sure. It’s been that kind of day so far. Once he’s sure it’s dead he keeps an eye out on the surrounding area for signs of more of the creatures.

As Doc continued his descent he spoke up about what was on his mind. "You don't think those are clankers in clone armor do you? That escape seemed too easy right?"

"I'm thinking you may be correct Doc, but how do we tell?" Wook says as he finishes the climb down, unslinging the heavy blaster rifle. "Big Ten, what do you think?"

"If they shoot us, they're clankers. If they don't, they're clones."

"Whatever they are, it's better than what's up over that cliff! Let's go!"

Hearing the inspection team hit bottom Blast makes his way over to them. Given the reception they got he doesn’t see anything wrong with the troopers being on edge.

”CT-3656 reporting. You’re the inspection team aren’t you?”. He glances up to where there is still a bit of light from the burning ship and shakes his head,”We’re still not sure how they got the drop on us. First time we had any idea the Clankers were here was when they opened the main doors.”

Wook levels the rifle out in the direction of new comers, "It's just become a really bad day boys, how's about you prove who you say you are." he says motioning with the barrel of the rifle for them to remove their helmets.

Doc points his pistol at the nearest new clone. "We just saw a clanker in Sergeant armor. So do as he says and prove it."

"Woah, easy now...give me a second...", Blast let's his weapon hang by it's sling and very slowly and careful of making sudden moves takes his helmet off. Lifting it over his head, he looks from one of the veterans to the other with an expression that seems incredibly resigned.

"At this point getting shot by my own side would be par for the course the way things have been going. Just make it quick will you?"

Doc lowered his pistol once the clone took off his helmet. "We aren't going to shoot you. We just had to be sure. What's the situation? Any injuries? How many clankers? And how are we shutting down the signal?"

Blast looks at the other veterans before deciding it’s probably okay to put his helmet back on. One that’s done he continues to report.

” Current situation is the separatists control the outpost. Unsure of their numbers but at least two squads of B2s. Systems was locked out while we were dealing with them so there is more than that. Of those troopers stationed here I think the three of us might be the only survivors. As to taking out the All Clear signal we were discussing that when we heard your ship coming in to land. We attempted to get your attention with a flare.”

He looks back up to where there is still smoke rising from the ship,”Guess we were late with that too.”

"Relax! Relax, we're definitely not droids. How'd you get a droid in clone armour with those weird heads anyway?" He would go to remove his helmet at the same time as the others, revealing the same face that they all shared with the standard rookie haircut that he had stuck with.

"Hang on, how do we know you're not droids?" Dusty would suddenly exclaim as he turns to his brothers. "Yeah, they're saying that they saw a droid dressed as sarge, and that's just what a droid would say to try and lull us into a false sense of security! Make us attack our own brothers even!" Those that had trained with Dusty would know that he had a tendency to let his imagination get the better of him at times. With the eel attack and the droid invasion, this was one of those times.

Fuse, with his hand still on a grenade, speaks up: "How about you let the team that didn't lose the outpost ask the questions? "

Blast sighs and turns to his cadre mate.

“Dusty, there is at least two squads of Clankers, probably more and it looks like they have anti-vehicle weapons.” Blast says the last looking up at the burning ship again.

”Mean while we’re standing on a ledge halfway down a cliff face full of tunnels inhabited by these things,” Blast gives the Eel corpse a kick for emphasis. ”If they knew we are here all they’d have to do is line up at the edge of the platform and rain blaster bolts down on us.”

He pauses for a couple beats after saying that then looks at the rest of the troopers,”Anyone else suddenly feeling very exposed standing here?

Coins feeling a little indigent responds in an aggravated voice. "We did loose the outpost. It is right there. We are not that bad at navigation. Besides now is not the time for blame we need to get back in there and disable the beacon. We could try going back in through the pipes we just escaped from.

"Fine" Dusty would huff. "But if they do turn out to be droids in disguise and shoot us in the back, I want my last words to be I told you so".

As they begin to discuss the next strategy for retaking the station Dusty would pipe up again. "They know we escaped through the tunnels, they'd be expecting us to come back in that way wouldn't they? Maybe we should try to find another way in."

Fuse replies; "If we get back into the base, what good would that do if the droids locked us out of the system?"

“We might not be able to shut it down but that doesn’t mean we can’t take out the signal.”Blast interjects,”We could stop the signal if we took out either the transmitter or the broadcast antenna.”

Doc holstered his pistol and then cracked his knuckles. "Just get me to a terminal. I'll handle it from there."

"Taking out the antenna OR the transmitter stops the signal 100%. Computers???? Eh! You never know what you get with computers." says BigTen.

“Well, getting to a terminal means getting past the Clankers.”, Blast muses,”Both the transmitter and antenna we could probably get at from outside. We just have to get back up to the base.”

Wook fondly pats the handle of his vibro-machete "We can always just hack the antenna cable."
