Galactic Empire: Serving the New Order

[Veritas]

Rannick follows the others down, and when he reaches the very bottom, he brings his rifle up, scanning the area for targets.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Dropping down into the room below, you find that it is only filled with empty crates stacked up like a barricade. There are scorch marks along one side of them. Two hallways extend out from the room. One behind and one in front. From behind, you see two stormtrooper bodies sprawled out and unmoving. Looking the other direction, you see even more stormtroopers. There are also blaster shots sounding from that direction, though it turns a corner and you can't see anything beyond the bodies scattered around.

Capt. Archimedes Daxxon (Soldier 3)

Deactivating the safety on his rifle, Archimedes takes cover behind the bulkhead and points his rifle down the hallway (the one the blaster fire is coming from).

"Your orders Major?"

(ooc: with all the D-names, It's a struggle not to type "Drannick". heh)

Rannick takes in his surroundings, looking for surviellance cameras in the room or hallways... he also glances around at the dead stormtroopers quickly, looking for any resources they can use (utility belts, rifles, etc), although he doesn't really expect to find much.

He quietly issues orders, indicating the quiet corridor first "Dralon, scout out that corridor and report back what you see."

He then points to the corridor the blaster fire is coming from. "Devlin, head up to the corner and see what we're up against there. Both of you report back immediately."

Devlin moves up to teh corner the major indicated. He keeps his blaster in his hands, pointed down at the ground. He bends down to about waist level and leans his head slightly around the corner, trying to see what is happening down the hallway.

Devlin:

Spoiler

Looking around the corner, you see that the corridor goes back about ten meters before turned another corner. However, backed up at that corner is a group of seven or so stormtroopers and a single Imperial officer. They are ducking back to avoid blaster shots that continually assault them, trying to fire back between barrages. The corridor is also much more littered with bodies than the others, mixed between stormtroopers, officers, and men in more casual dress.

Devlin makes his way back to the others. "Sir, We've got a group of about 7 stormtroopers and an officer down teh hallway. No indication of who's side they're on."

 

[Lobo Lurker]

"They'd have to be on our side. Stormtroopers aren't disloyal... its just not possible."

 

[yangnome]

"Not only is it possible, I've seen specific cases where it has happened. Simple-minded folk especially can be very loyal, but they can also be easily manipulated. These traitor instructors have been in the perfect position to infect many students, including storm troopers with treasonous rebel sympathies."

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Rannick looked to stormtrooper among them and shrugged, "Yes, a graduated stormtrooper is perfectly loyal. But this is a training facility, and Devlin's right, its possible that the instructers have been traitors for long enough to manipulate the trainees no matter how loyal."

He sighed and looked the other direction. There was no sound that way. The trail of bodies did lead the direction Devlin had checked in, "We're going to have to risk this. Stick our heads out, get attention, but don't shoot. The traitors should know who's among them, so they'd probably fire on a new face. Its risky, but...if they don't fire, we can hope they're on our side until we can find an officer."
