“I understand, Woor’ful,” Phineus stated, “I assure you I will get to the bottom of this disturbance.”
Woor’ful let out a thanks giving growl, and allowed Phineus passage in the elevator. The wookies of Kashyyyk have been hearing troubling tales of an assassin droid deep beneath the forest of Kashyyyk, and due to Phineus’ good relations with the wookies, they personally assigned him the job.
Dealing with an assassin droid was no easy task, and Phineus had planned accordingly. He was dressed in his in CompForce Armor, his ABC protection hood pulled over his head. His FSK-7 combat knife clung tightly beneath his left shoulder, his M-70 pistol strapped to its usual home on Phin’s right thigh. Sheathed and strapped on his back was his Sat’skar sword. His primary weapon of choice however, was his MG-1 Electrostaff, deactivated, but at the ready. With his efficient combination of his arsenal and his stealth tactics, he was just as dangerous as this assassin droid he was employed to hunt.
The elevator came to a halt, and Phineus took in the vast forest which lay ahead, as well as the terrible smell coming not a meter from the elevator. Ahead of him, sprawled out on the ground, was the tach eaten body of a wookie. Something wasn’t right, however, as the wookie appeared to be… skinned.
“Fierfek,” Phineus muttered.
It was an awful sight, and one that Woor’ful would surely throw one hell of a wookie fit over. Phineus trekked on through the forest, which, for the most part, was void of any living establishments. He did notice a run down, forest eaten hut, which looked as though it had been abandoned for a few thousand standard years. About a mile later and Phineus spotted the problem.
It was a rather large encampment, about a hundred meters deeper into the forest. He zoomed further in with his binoculars, and spotted several anti-sentient machinery. Whatever this assassination droid was up to, he certainly didn’t want anyone to know about it.
But that doesn’t add up, Phineus pondered;
why the frak would an assassination droid set this all up? Unless he was employed by someone, but still, this is a bit much. Phineus took in his surroundings, trying to think up a plan to get into the encampment, without getting killed. The land was quite flat, but to Phin’s right, a weed ridden hill shot to from Phin’s position, to about three meters past the encampment. It was worth a try. Phineus speed walked up the hill, and after a good half a mile walk, he was directly above the encampment’s outer region.
Now what?Phineus mused over countless plans of attack, but when his scanners only picked up one life form, he made his decision. Phineus pulled down his ABC protection hood, gripped tightly to his MG-1 electrostaff, and leapt off the hill. He landed gracefully in the center of the encampment, about three meters behind the single assassination droid. The droid’s body was a burnt red, his frame was menacing, and clearly recognizable to Phineus. It was an Hunter-Killer model, a model that Phineus knew very well.
If only HK-95 was here, he joked.
Phineus stood, ignited his electrostaff, and addressed the droid.
“Hello there,” Phineus said with a devilish smirk across his face.
The droid turned to face Phineus, “Greeting: Hello, trespassing meat bag.”
