Zippy was sitting in the storm trooper barracks alone and exhausted. He layed on his bunk and stared at the blank sealing with a lot on his mind. Mainly being he was back in the VE and he was here to stay. He admits having some falling outs and not being around as frequently as he should have been, but he was back and ready for action. Minutes passed but felt like hours and Zippy was starting to get agitated laying on in his bunk. He watched as fellow troopers came in and out of the barracks, some alone and some with a few others at a time. After about thirty minutes of laying on the barracks, a message came threw on his com-link.
"Private Zippy, this is head command. Do you copy?"
"Yes sir, I read you loud and clear. What seems to be the problem? Your voice sounds a little toned down sir," Zippy stated.
"Well, we have a problem in need of a troopers service and we figured you were more then likely not liking sitting around in your bunk, so we figured we would pitch the problem your way. If you would like to hear it of coarse."
"Well of coarse I would. You called the right trooper, that's for sure. I was starting to feel suffocated around here. So whats the problem sir?"
"Well, we need a trooper to head to Christophsis, a very large, industrious planet and see that the capital Chalcydonia is in order and to make sure the government is still remaining loyal to the Empire. We have heard rumors that there may be a sinister plot against the VE and we need some one to dig up information on that portion of the mission as well. You will be rewarded for your efforts, should you accept the mission of coarse. You may bring anything you see fit to use, but we recommend you keep it on the, semi lighter side of things. Droids, typical weapons, etc."
"You've got yourself a deal command. Anything is better then sitting around here waiting for something exciting to happen. I'll start packing immediately," Zippy concluded, jumping out of his bunk.
Zippy went over to his arsenal of armor, weapons, etc and began packing what he saw fit. Zippy brought his personally new favorite rifle, A280 Armor-Piercing Heavy Blaster Rifle, standard thermal detonators, C4's, etc. Typical rations and supplies as always. This trip, Zippy had a little surprise he would figure he would try out. He was always astounded with military droids and he just happened to purchase two new droids the other day. Zippy clicked on his wrist com and two Destroyer Droids rolled in from his droid rack, along with two B-1 Combat Battle Droids walked out as well.
(Droid toned voice) "Ready and willing sir. What are your orders?"
"We are heading to Christophsis. Head to Hangar bay 3 and get on the transport. We have a long mission ahead of us."
"Roger Roger," the battle droid nodded in comprehension.
"Its time we see what this little 'problem' is on this planet. We shall see if its stronger then me and my battle droids, Zippy said laughing as he put on his armor. Its time for some good old excitement."
---------------------------Several Hours Later---------------------------
Zippy and his battle droids landed in the capital city of Chalcydonia. It was a beautiful city. Tall shining buildings as far as the eye could see. They were clearly built to astonish and make whoever visited here, leave in awe. Zippy unpacked the provisions and supplies that he had brought along for the mission. Along with his newer droid companions, he figured this would be a fairly easy assignment with the droids along, but nothing ever goes right in the VE. Or anyway in the galaxy for that matter. Nevertheless, precautions were always the wisest thing to do.
"Welcome to Chalcydonia Private Zippy. We have been expecting your arrival. It's always an honor to have a trooper of the VE come to our world. Now, if you will come with me I will escort you to your chambers where you will be staying. We hope you enjoy your stay," As the greeting soldier turned and started to walk off.
Zippy looked around at the civilians and watched carefully at what their behaviors were. They seemed completely unaware of their surroundings, stumbling supplies and crates around. Nervously shaking their hands when trying to operate a terminal.
"Sir, why are the people around here so nervous? Their faces appear to be completely white and shaking frequently."
"We will fill you in on that when you are summoned to the debriefing tomorrow Private. Now, please, if you will join me in your chambers, we will talk about your stay."
Zippy stepped inside one of the larger buildings, not to far from where he originally landed. The interior was filled with expensive carpeting, along with many elegant looking statues. He then continued to follow the soldier into his chambers. The room was on the far side of the building with a stunning view of the horizon. It was like any other room otherwise. Holovid on the wall, typical living conditions for any normal civilian on this planet.
"Please, sit down Zippy. I will fill you in on the situation here. As you probably noticed, things aren't the way they should be recently."
"So what's the problem? The people all seemed pretty scared about something. It's as if they're being watched or something."
"Well Zippy, you are right. The loyal guard to the governor of the city has cracked down on its laws and security measures. Even one person caught doing even the slightest thing wrong could be sent to a holding cell and questioned. We have heard rumors that there may be something going on the in the capital building and we need to figure out what is going on. Zippy, we are going to need you to clean up the capital and get it straightened out, or I fear for my people that the situation may only get worse.
"Well soldier, look like I have a job to do huh? First things first, need to get situated here. Then its time to do a little recon of this city and see what I can dig up. Good day soldier. I will alert you of anything I find."
