Archimedes raced down the corridor's to the Storm Trooper barracks. Now was not the time for propiety. His haste earned him scowls from the officers that he passed, though most recognized him as one of Commander Dralon's group and said nothing... while he was in earshot.
He entered the barracks and immediately began putting on his armor. The other stormtroopers looked up with interest. "Action Archimedes?" they asked.
"You know that I can't answer that." He replied. "But, I have to admit that I'm going to enjoy the operational tempo of this assignment." With that final comment, he grabbed his blaster rifle... it was a thing of deadly beauty... all polished blue/black metal with a leather grip. His name was engraved upon the barrel. Dax had given it to his shortly after his graduation from his Storm Trooper Training. He'd obtained permission to use it in place of the standard issue blaster rifle. He carefully slung the weapon behind him, using the strap. His power packs fully charged, and his vibrosword strapped to his thigh, he made his way to the hangar.
He was pleased to note that he was early. The pilot, Devlin, was waiting. Archimedes didn't know him well, but if they were to be working together, they'd have to learn to respect each other.
Giving his weapons a final once-over, Archimedes paused and said. "Word in the barracks is that you're one of the best pilots in the Empire. You ready for this?"
