If anything, at least it would mean anyone coming in behind them would have to do so one person at a time.Thankfully, the door on the opposite end of the comm room did not seem to be damaged at all. Hitting the switch caused the door to easily and almost silently slide open, revealing the door to the data center across the corridor was closed. That, and more bodies. Up against the wall just to the right of the door was the slumped over form of a grey-skinned Duros in a Fleet Marine uniform. The black marks on his chest and shoulder were easy to spot, and there was an uncomfortable smell in the air of scorched flesh.Looking down the corridor, Stormtroopers could be seen...for just a moment. Only two were visible and then just for a few seconds before they turned the corner and continued down the corridor to somewhere else. Considering the direction they took to turn that corner, they weren't coming from the bunks at the opposite end, but probably either the mess or the data center.Speeder Bike Group:A quick turn takes you out of the open clearing around the two temples and immediately into the sparser sectiosn of Yavin IV's jungle. Here it is difficult, but not too horribly taxing to keep from hitting anything. Slight adjustments in height, up and down to avoid underbrush and then low branches, come quickly but are easy to see coming and be ready for. Finding a path is the real trouble, weaving through the trees to head north in an area that never really had any kinds of paths meant that it was a matter of avoiding hitting the trees and just aiming north as best as possible through that.In the blur of motions caused by constant directional adjustments and, of cousre, the speed of the vehicle, it is hard to see anything beyond what's coming directly at you. Despite this, however, you're both able to catch a few glimpses of Imperial troops. Most are off to the sides, out of direct sight due to the trees and foliage but the white coloured armour still easy to spot against it even as a blur. Sometimes you catch sight of a glint of metal, but never very close thankfully.And then, after only a few minutes that would have been shorter if not for the jungle, you notice the jungle is becoming less densely packed. Suddenly there are no trees at all, and you break through the jungle to a small corridor of completely crushed trees perpendicular to your course. It is only a twenty odd meters wide, meaning you're right back into the forest in barely a second, but you do see the source of the destruction briefly: a large, wheeled tank-like vehicle moving away from you and towards the Great Temple.Back in the jungle, however, the trees continue to remain relatively sparse and from your information you know you should be close to where the transport is supposed to be. It takes only a moment to see the glint of metal reflecting the system's starlight from above, and then only a second more to identify it as the ship...that clearly Corellian design but rather than being asymmetrical as most of their transports seem to be, this one has its rounded, segmented-window cockpit directly in the center.Before you reach exactly where it is, however, you see something else...white figures. Four or five of them at least, though its difficult to count at the speed you're approaching the ship at thanks to the trees you're still having to quickly maneuver around.[sblock]<img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Jyren/yt2000.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]Garret:As you begin to move north again, towards where the transport should be in an area probably just beyond the clearing of the two temples, you notice more Imperial troops arriving in the area from almost all directions. A large number of troops exit the jungle not thirty meters in front of you, seeming to take no notice at all as they head towads the Great Temple.While the two AT-ST walkers continue to patrol the immediate area around the rear hangar, you do notice something else, too. Many of the Stormtroopers are beginning to spread out in wider patrols of the area. Whether they're looking for anything specific or just patrolling to patrol, you can't tell.Watching these patrols move in various directions all over, you're still able to continue directly north without too much trouble...just making sure to keep low and sometimes having to move somewhat deeper into the jungle thanks to sparse tree cover as you move farther north. Even at a careful pace, it only takes you a few more minutes to reach the northern edge of the, meaning the YT-2000 should be just a half-kilometer or so farther north...roughly, of course.As you begin to move into the jungle itself and away from the clearing, however, you notice a small group of just three Stormtroopers that are doing something you had yet to encounter: walking the edge of the jungle. They're a good distance away when you first spot them heading towards you, holding their blaster rifles casually and obviously talking to one other more than paying attention to everything around them. At the speed they're moving, it'll probably be only a minute or two before they're within just a couple of meters of you. Without making a run for it, there's not likely any way to move fast enough to get far enough into the jungle to be completely out of their sight in time.</blockquote>
