Riqimo slammed a fist on the holo console and turned to the communications officer, “Call in the intel team, area should be secure by the time they get here.” No acknowledgment came, the officer simply went right to work, not wanting to irritate the company commander any more than he already was.
“Varser must have been moved to another location as soon as they got him,” Riq winced as his hand now felt the pain of the earlier blow. “We need a lockdown of airspace and all spaceports will need to be on standby until we get this handled. I don't want them taking this man off planet... and we need to find him before they decide to kill him instead of ransom.”
“Have they even put him up for ransom yet?” Darr questioned, helmet under one arm.
“Not yet, but their typical methods involve waiting two days before actually ransoming their prize,” Riq shrugged, “I see no reason for this to be different. They thrive off making inconvenience for us.”
“Give the orders to secure the facility, take any prisoners, and then we'll set camp once we have some more intel.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Arn nodded, he was still new to this command position and was actually settling in quite well.
“I rather we didn't have to wait longer, but since when did anything go right on the first try?”
