After a few more seconds of waiting, Kami gave up on the Dragoons coming heroically to her rescue.

Hell...Kami glanced quickly around the corner of her cover and nearly got her head blown off in response, even I wouldn't come to my own rescue...

Forcing her arm to straighten, Kami tensed her muscles, then moved, flinging herself out behind her faithful rock and into the chaos behind. She hit the ground and rolled, snatching up a Rebel rifle as she did so. Throwing herself backwards, Kami fired at the closest commando, and succeeded in drilling two shots into his chest. She landed heavily on her shoulder, and rolled again, hoping to gain momentum as she attempted to retreat back down the slope.

Tumbling in a half-controlled spin, her newly acquired rifle firing widely in almost every direction, Kami finally reached the base of the slope and came back to feet, before springing into a sprint. A series of shots flew past her as she ducked under a branch and crashed into dense woodland.

Hoping desperately that the Commando's weren't as good at marksmanship when their prey was hiding among a thousand or so trees, Kami sped up, careful to stay in site of the coastline. "C'mon guys...where are you," she shouted to no-one in particular, trying to help to Rebels as much as she could. Giving up on her attempt to be discreet Kami slowed down to a jog, and screamed back over her shoulder "I'm over here for Christ's sake!"
The shouts doubled in volume, and suddenly the Rebels pursuing her were back on her trail. Speeding up, Kami weaved to her left.

...the longer she could keep whoever chasing her from near the base...the longer the time she gave the Dragoons to prepare some brilliant counter-attack...

Kami had been running for ten minutes when the sounds of gunfire echoed up from the beach. Too on edge to grin, Kami let relief wash over her; the Dragoons were still alive and fighting...

Blaster fire from behind brought her back to reality. It slammed into the bark of the tree in front of her, spraying wood chips into Kami's face. Crying out, Kami stumbled side wards, somehow dodging the next volley of shots from the Rebel's.
Then suddenly they were on her, four Commando's versus one very battered Dragoon.
Blinking in time to see the stun batons two of them held, Kami pushed her only advantage. They wanted a live prisoner, not a dead one.

Kami let herself drop backwards, causing one of the Rebels to overstep as he attempted to pummel her with his baton. Twisting mid-air she grabbed the base of the handle and jammed it back into the man's stomach, sending him plummeting to the ground. She had a split second to turn before the next Rebel was on her, stun baton swinging. Letting out a war cry, Kami succeeded in shocking the Rebel enough to regain her ground. She slammed her fist into the woman's jaw, then brought her knife around into the trooper's stomach before spinning around with a high kick to take out her next opponent.

The last commando looked down at his three unconscious and dying comrades, then back at Kami.
Kami straightened slowly, watching the commando's muscles quiver as he decided his next course of action.

Then suddenly he was moving, his hand reaching for his blaster.
Kami was prepared.
Her second knife flew from her hand and wedged itself in his throat... sending the stunned trooper firstly to his knees, then to his stomach.

Breathing heavily, Kami retrieved her two knives, then stumbled back towards the direction of the gunfight...

Kami smashed out through the last of the forest and back out onto the coastline. Staying close to the rocks, she began to weave her way back in direction of the base, hearing the roar of boat engines a short distance away. Coming to a rise, Kami looked over the beach near the abandoned base, and saw a Rebel boat, capable of fitting at least 20 Rebel troopers.  Letting her eyes follow the tracks up the beach, she saw six or so Rebel Commando's huddled  nearby about a comlink into which one was yelling madly.

Matthers... Kami's fatigue vanished in a flash.
She stepped side wards and vanished back into the foliage.

"It's a trap dammit!" Matthers was screaming as Kami edged closer to his position, "Get back here now, do not! I repeat do not follow the Imperials!"
Kami focused on a Rebel sitting with his back to the tree, sitting a few meters away from the others as he had a smoke. She took a few steps forwards, crouched behind him, waited until Matthers let out a particularly loud scream of disgust, then clamped her hand over his mouth and slit his throat.
The Rebel's weight felt noiselessly back against her. While holding up the twitching Rebel with her right shoulder, Kami grabbed the rifle from the Commando's right hand and switched it over to rapid fire.

Then she let loose.

Three Rebels went down before they knew what was happening, while one was caught in the crossfire as he attempted to get to his feet. Matthers and another Rebel rolled out of the way and behind the tree cover.

Throwing the dying Rebel to the side, Kami came to her feet and began to walk forwards towards their position, blasting away at the trunks the duo were hiding behind. The elder trooper made the mistake of attempting to fire back, and was subsequently hit a dozen or so times before he hit the ground.

Matthers's head popped out long enough for Kami to see the glint in his eye before a grenade came sailing in her direction. Dropping her rifle, Kami threw herself aside just as it blew, lifting the ground where she had previously stood into huge clumps.
She landed heavily, the fall knocking the breath out of her. Rolling over, Kami scrambled in the dirt for her knives...then froze as a stun baton was leveled at her throat.
"Well...well..." Matthers face loomed over her, "You've been a busy girl."

Kami smacked him hard in the back of the head with the tree branch clutched in her right hand.

Matther's eyes crossed, then went blank as he fell stunned to the earth.

Kami finally grinned, "Go nature."

After being given a short briefing of what the squad was going to do. Rizzit, Snipes, and Lukas climbed into a boat.

A few moments later, Lukas saw Fallen Angel, JR, and FlyingKnight get into another nearby boat.

Fallen Angel had Snipes and FlyingKnight get into there positions on the boat.

"Lukas, you take the backside of the boat and watch the water. Snipes, take the portside of the boat and watch the sky while I drive", Rizzit ordered.

Snipes went and took his position at the portside, while Lukas went and took the backside. Rizzit made sure they were in the right places, then got into the cockpit of the boat.

A short time later, Rizzit fired up the boat and tore off in the opposite direction after seeing Fallen Angel take off.

Rizzit streaked across the water at high speeds, Lukas kept alert and watchful for any mines in the water or droids.

Lukas heard Snipes yell out to Rizzit, "Droids coming in at 3 o'clock!"

Rizzit kept the boat on course towards the main island, mean while, Lukas and Snipes were taking out the Droids in the air rather quickly with there Blaster Rifles.

As Snipes and Lukas finished off the last two droids, Lukas cried out, "Rizzit, two mines dead ahead!".

There was an abrupt swerve as Rizzit missed the two mines narrowly.

"Hey Rizzit, there are 4 mines up ahead, scattered about! The correct way to miss these, are to zig-zag the boat in between them!".

Rizzit acknowledged this by.

The boat zig-zagged and missed the mines perfectly as planned.

"This is going to be interesting...", Lukas said to himself.

Rizzit continued on his path towards the main Rebel Island.

With all the Zig-Zagging that he did, Rizzit was careful not to lose any gear that was kept in the boats. Granted, it was a very small amount of gear; but all the same, he did not want to lose it. Having already dealt with mines and droids, the small crew of troopers knew right away that this was going to be harder than they thought. It had seemed that they were in the clear for a very brief period of time when they were in clear water, when Snipes had pointed out a boat to Rizzit.

At first glance, it was presumed to be Fallen Angel with his fireteam; but on more careful inspection there was more than three people in the boat--and there were more than one. Rizzit knew what had to be done right away. He instructed Lukas and Snipes to take out their rifles and open fire upon the boats if they showed signs of following them. Sure enough, as Rizzit expected: the boats began to follow Rizzit, Lukas, and Snipes. Grabbing their E-11's, they followed orders as they knew how to: and began to fire--beginning with the driver of each boat.

While their aim was not perfect, they did manage to take out some of the crew in the boats. The drivers did get confused in some cases, and ended up driving into the mines. Rizzit kept driving along, not wanting to have to fight on the water. There were a few boats left, but the priority was to get to land and meet up with the other fireteam. Lukas decided to get creative, and shoot some holes in the boats. This worked fairly well, seeing as it created yet another distraction that Snipes took advantage of. While the rebel boatsmen were worried about sinking, he opened fire in specific on the troopers with comlinks. Lukas returned to fire upon the troopers as well, which resulted in the two of them eliminating the small group of boats by themselves.

The island was getting ever closer, but they weren't there yet. Rizzit was beginning to wonder when the next "delay" would show itself, when his comlink beeped. It was Fallen Angel in the other boat, who had a similar problem that he solved. His way was a bit more force-dependant, but he also eliminated them.

"Looks like they know who's coming and from where." Rizzit said.

"Do you think they reported back to base before going down? Some of them had comlinks."

"I would guess so, but I'm going to hope that they don't. It's probably a good idea that I check in with the Dark Dragoons and see how they're doing. Maybe even give them fair warning to be extra-careful when they sneak in. Anyways, for now: Let's move on ahead and rendevous where we planned."

"Roger that. I'll see you on the island." Fallen Angel said as he closed the connection.

Rizzit continued at a steady pace. He wanted to get there as soon as he could, but at the same time: he didn't want to blow their cover. A boat speeding along would look a bit to suspicious. Trying to be helpful, Rizzit was reminded by Lukas_Yuy to contact the Dark Dragoons. Not wanting to stay on the comlink too long on the water: Rizzit declined. Voices can carry and he thought it best to keep things quiet for the time being.

The water was no longer clear as they got closer to the island. Mines were more consistant as they went and the Droids didn't help matters either. Snipes and Lukas wondered if Rizzit would ever get them to the island, and they had good reason to wonder. Every time they finished with one occurance, they had to deal with another. Rizzit's main concern was wether or not their cover was blown, and if it was: could they still join the group at the rendezvous point? They needed as much firepower as they could get, as there were only 3 of them in each boat.

The last droid was blown to bits, and they were closer to the island still: but not quite there. Lukas then got around to asking Rizzit what kind of trouble they were going to face on the island, if they were having this much trouble getting there. Rizzit did not answer. He merely told Lukas that their objective was to get there and rendezvous: not to worry about problems past that. He also reminded both of them to keep quiet, so their voices would not carry. The three of them, then proceeded at their usual pace: zig-zagging to avoid the mines.

Everything expressed truly from your heart and soul is as pure as gold in the minds of anyone who listens!"--Rizzit

Blaster fire flew all around the boat and its occupants.

"These guys don't know when to give up!", Snipes shouted as a blaster bolt barely missed his head.

"You got that right Snipes...", Lukas said to himself quietly.

The Rebel boats, droids, and mines seemed like an endless onslaught and would never go away.

Rizzit had to keep zig-zagging to miss mines, and speed up to try and lose track of the Rebel boats and droids in hot pursuit.

"I'll get the air enemies, Lukas, and you get the water enemies", Snipes said in a loud voice over the blaster fire.

Lukas acknowledged him with a short nod.

A wave of about a dozen droids seemed to have come out of nowhere, suprising Snipes.

Snipes whipped around and unleashed a fury of blaster bolts, taking down all the droids, with great accuracy.

A Rebel boat pulled up a long side, Rizzit noticed it almost immediately, and pulled away from it, while missing mines by a few inches.

Lukas gave them a volley of blaster bolts from his E-11, as well as puncturing some holes in the enemy boat.

As soon as the boat was out of sight, another 2 came up on each side, taking the already absent one in place.

Rizzit kept the boat steady, heading straight and in the middle of the boat sandwhich.

Both, Snipes and Lukas opened fire on the Rebel boats, as hails of bolts came flying past and making scorch marks on the boat.

The Rebels didn't have very good accuracy, so Lukas and Snipes took advantage of there mistake.

Snipes shot a barrage of bolts at one time, while Lukas did it another time, in no time both of the Rebel ships were out of action at the moment.

Lukas and Snipes continued to battle off the seemingly endless supply of Rebel boats and droids.

Rizzit looked out the window of the cockpit, the island was insight and close, but seemed like it would take forever to get to it.

Snipes and Lukas both knew Rizzit was trying to do his best at driving the boat and keep them steady enough for firing, but the mines kept him from doing it every so often.

The mines started to come in clusters from anywere of being 5 or 10 mines in a group.

This made the situation even worse, but the island was very close now, and they were almost there.

About at least 20 droids came over on Snipes side of the boat and gave him hell, pinning him down a bit.

Lukas noticed this and quickly grabbed a grenade and threw it without even pulling the pin out, he took aim and shot it when it was right in the middle of the group and saw it explode.

Lukas then went back to shooting a Rebel boat that had just came in firing distance.

Snipes grinned and kept doing as he was told and shot at more incoming droids.

Snipes and Lukas had finished off a few more boats and waves of droids, before Rizzit waved his hand to stop the firing.

Lukas and Snipes stopped and looked over at the island, they were about 5 minutes away.

Rizzit kept driving the boat, avoiding the increasing minds as they got closer and closer to the Rebel island.

In no time, they ran the boat up onto the shore and got out onto the mainland.

Rizzit, Lukas, and Snipes had finally made it to the island.

Lukas and Snipes waited for Rizzit to tell them what to do next.

Caleb looked around the village and was warn out by the time he came back.

"Its a maze out there!" Caleb said to himself.

Caleb walked all around the beach hoping to find a big lump of sand or some sort of house thing.

He walked around untel he came to a cliff. And at the bottum of the cliff were big rocks. It was almost time to head back, But he just wanted to check the place out.

He climbed ontop of a huge stone and saw a whole lot a huge rocks!

Caleb jumped from rock to rock and did see gaps but it was either to small to fit in or good but to easy to spot.

Caleb went to the very bottum wall of dirt of the cliff, He took a sip of his water when he noticed some vine leaves covering up half of a rock.

He went over and cleared up the patch of leaves to find a gap leading to a perfect hide out inside the rock and dirt.

Caleb went inside and it was perfect! There were tiny little gaps from other rocks connecting to it the it made light inside. Then he jumped out of it.

Caleb was so happy to find it that he covered it back up and ran back to tell Fury.

FA, was zooming across the water at full speed, using the force to dodge the mines that they encountered.  The other two RAIDERS saw two rebel boats approaching them just as another dozen droids were coming from the other direction.  Thinking quickly FK shot the mines close to where the rebel boats were.  This slowed them down and gave JR time to take down all the droids.  He then turned to assist FK with the boats.  Aiming for the drivers first they took them out and sent the boats crashing into mines before anyone else had a chance to grab the wheel.  JR turned around to see more droids approaching.  Grabbing an ion grenade he pulled the pin and threw it into the swarm.  As soon as it went off the droids plumited into the mines below.

After they rounded the two islands like FK a had suggested they didnt see any more rebel boats, and few droids.  As they approached the island they saw the ship the other RAIDERS had been in and headed toward it.  Dodging a  few more mines, they edged up beside the other boat.  When they landed, both FA and Rizzit barked orders to start unloading the gear.

"Before you judge someone you should walk a mile in their shoes cuz then ur a mile away from them and you have their shoes."

The two massive explosions caused a series of large waves that tossed the small attack boat.  Afyon slipped on some of the water that came on board and nearly fell overboard.  Ahead, the last rebel ship was gaining on them rapidly and was unleashing a heavy bombardment of fire on the Dragoons.

"I think they are trying to ram us!"  Afyon shouted over the loud noise.  Rema made a couple of adjustments on the boat and then began to aim the missile launcher.  Afyon regained his footing and crouched down against one side of the boat, his sniper rifle resting on the top of the ledge.  He scanned the rebels on the rapidly approaching boat and found the driver.  He fired two quick shots from the semi automatic, destroying the pilot's head.  The rebel boat veered wildly as the dead driver's hand had jolted the controls.  Rema fired a missile right at the heart of the ship as it veered wildly towards the wall.  A second later, an incredible wave of energy blew the boat to pieces and sent the Dragoons flying out of their boat and into the water.  The missile had hit the ammunition crates on board and had incinerated the rebel ship and severely damaged the Dragoons boat.

Afyon kept hold of his sniper rifle and tried to swim towards the ledge.  The explosions had caused some severely rocky water which came crashing over Afyon's head repeatedly making it very difficult for him to swim ashore.  Afyon managed to shake his arm out of the sling and with both arms, he slowly made it to the ledge.  Now, it was a matter of clinging on as the large waves crashed over it, nearly washing him back into the water.  Up ahead, Afyon could see a body also clinging on the ledge.  As the waves died down, he crawled towards the man.  Just as he reached him, Afyon pulled out his pistol and aimed it right down at the man's head.

"Alright sit up, slowly.  One false move and I'll blow your head apart."  Afyon ordered.  The body didn't move for a second.  "Move it!"  Afyon shouted.  The man slowly sat up and turned to Afyon.

"Ah it's you Sergeant."  Sam said a bit weakly.

"Sam!"  Afyon shouted.  "I'm glad you made it to the ledge.  In the dark we couldn't see ya in the water.  Help me find Rema and then we'll make our way back to the base."  Afyon continued.

"What about the boat?"  Sam asked.

"Forget it, its too badly damaged.  By now it's completely submerged.  We have three more so we'll be ok for the time being."  Afyon replied.  "Let's get out of here."

    Sam carefully stood up, clinging to the wall so as to not get pulled back into the water from the waves.
    He glanced around looking for Rema. He didn't see anything. Then someone placed their hand on his shoulder. He snapped around and saw Rema.
    "Geeze Rema can you scare the hell out of me anymore?" Sam said.
    "Ahh, shut up Sam," Rema replied.
    "We need to start to head back to camp and meet up with TK and Zafo," Afyon stated before Sam could say anything back to Rema, "Then we need to search for Kami."
    "Got it," replied Sam and Rema at once.
    They headed to the entrace of the cave and to look for TK and Zafo.

When the rest of the Dragoons met up with Zafo and TK, they couldn't help themselves from laughing. Zafo and TK looked at each other, puzzled. Then TK broke into a chuckle as well.

"What?!" Zafo said, unsure why everybody was laughing.

"Your face. It's completely covered in ash. What did you do, stick your head in the missile barrel to clean it out?"

Zafo got up and walked to a shiny crate, and laughed at himself. His face was a mixture of grey and black. He brushed two fingers over his face, underneath his eyes to make war stripes on his face. He looked at TK, who couldn't help but to start laughing some more.

"Are they that ugly?" Zafo asked

"No, No" TK replied "Just different"

"Alright TK" Afyon began on TK's comlink "You and Zafo can take the boat out and search the shore line for Kami. The rest of us are going to search by land, our boat was destroyed"

"Gotcha" TK replied, and nodded to Zafo to take control of the boat.

Zafo brought the boat out of the cave and began to cruise along the shoreline. Zafo made sure to stay a safe distance from shore in case any rebels were still there. While Zafo was operating the ship, TK was scanning the shore with a pair of electrobinoculars.

"I think I found her!" TK exclaimed "Down there on the beach"

TK handed Zafo the electrobinoculars, and sure enough, jumping up and down, waving fanatically was Kami, trying to draw the attention of the ship. Zafo turned the boat and headed straight for shore.

"Looks like someones been busy" TK shouted as he spotted the pile of dead rebels.

"Judging by the desperate cries I heard coming from one of those comlinks, you've been quite busy as well" Kami replied.

"Luckily you're not badly hurt" Zafo piped in "Come on aboard, so we can head back to our base" Zafo continued

"You mean our hidden base" Kami said with a snicker

"Yes, our very hidden base" Zafo said with a laugh.

Once onboard, TK passed Kami his comlink. "I'm sure Afyon would like to hear from you"

"I have boarded the ship with TK and Zafo. We are heading back to headquarters" Kami said into the comlink.

"Glad to hear your OK" Afyon replied "We will discuss more once we get back to our base. Afyon out!"

Kami rolled TK his comlink as Zafo swung the ship into their no longer hidden base.

Afyon, Rema, and Sam made their way back into the underground base area and with Rema's help, Afyon took care of Sam's injuries.  The shot he had taken was only a flesh wound and Sam had done an excellent job of trying to stop the bleeding immediately so there was limited blood loss.  Afyon injected a stim pack into Sam's leg and wrapped it with a bacta patch.  Rema and Afyon had only mild bruising from bumping into the boat and the rocks when the explosion occured.  All three put on dry gear and when they were finished, Zafo, Tk and Kami arrived inside.  Afyon noticed that Kami was filthy and covered in small scraps and bruises, not to mention multiple blood stains.

"Glad you made it in one piece Kami, it looks as though you had a hell of a fight on your hands."  Afyon commented.  Kami gave him a weak smile and sat down on an ammunition crate.  "Alright everyone gather around.  I know you are all exhausted and not in the best of wear but we have some things to do before we can catch some shut eye.  First off, we need to get rid of those rebel bodies on the beach, they aren't hard to miss from the water.  We will load them into the rebel boat and throw them overboard deep in the cave where our boat sunk.  Four of us will load up the bodies, the other two will collect the rebel's weapons and all the ammunition and other gear you can find.  Empty some of our crates and take them with you so you can load them with that stuff.  We'll load it on our boat and take it back into the cave.  Once we are done, we need to get our base up top built, we need to put up camouflage netting and establish some sort of defence set up so we can defend it if another wave comes.  I don't think the rebels knew where our base was, just that they might have spotted our boats crossing.  It's almost too bad we didn't capture one alive."  Afyon stated.

"We did."  Kami jumped in.  Afyon turned to her.  "I managed to get one alive, he seemed to be one of the commanders, maybe he will be of use."

"Excellent!"  Afyon exclaimed.  "When we load up the bodies we'll take him back to our cave and see what he knows.  He could be of some use to us as a hostage if need be."  Afyon continued.  "Alright everyone, every take five minutes to have a drink and then we'll head out.  This shouldn't take more than an hour or two and we need to make it fast."

Kami couldn't stomach the thought of hauling the bodies onto the boats and dumping them out to sea, so she went with Sam to gather as much ammunition and supplies as they could carry.
The two Dragoons managed to fill a crate with various melee weapons, rifles, pistols and ammo, and another crate with electronic gear, heat sensor goggles, comlinks, datapads and electro binoculars. As they lugged the gear back to the boats, Kami saw Rema standing guard over a haggard looking Matther's. He smiled and leapt down to help the duo get their gear on board, "You guys do well in scavenger hunts as children?" He asked as he unsuccessfully attempted to lift one of the crates. Sam laughed, and reached over to help the Sergeant get the crate airborne.
Kami's attention was elsewhere.


The glint of sunlight off a blade had caught her eye...

Catapulting over the side of the boat she intercepted Matther's as he began to rise to his feet, free of his rope bounds.
She lashed out with her elbow, catching him in the nose before he could react to her presence. The Rebel Sergeant fell backwards with a grunt, flipping over the edge of the boat and into the shallow water.
Kami dived after him.

She rammed into him as he attempted to stand again, and together they fell rolling along the wet sand. Kami sat up enough to drive both fists into Matther's jaw before she reached down and flicked up one of knives...
...before hovering it millimeters from the enraged Rebel's throat.

Matther's light blue eyes clouded over with distress as he was denied escape for a second time.
Rema and Sam were suddenly at Kami's shoulder, their rifles aimed steadily at the Commando's head. "Feisty one." Sam commented, covering Matther's as Rema pulled a now sand spotted Kami to her feet.
"You look a little worse for wear Corporal," Rema grinned as he bushed a large clump of sand from Kami's shoulder.
Kami shook her head in exasperation, "I need a shower...desperately."

Sam hauled the still protesting Matther's to his feet, then held him still as Rema swung the butt of his E-11 into his stomach. Matther's doubled over, giving the two Dragoons ample time to get him back into the boat. The disgruntled Rebel let out another string of muffled curses as he found himself back where he had started.

The quite whine of an incoming boat announced the rest of the Dragoons return. TK stood up precariously near the helm of the now bodiless boat and waved towards the base.

Rema echoed Kami's sigh, then started the engine, "C'mon boys, girlies, lets go see what Afyon has in store for us now."

Kami splashed her face with cold water and wiped the last of the blood from her cheeks.
"Kami"
She turned to see Afyon standing in the doorway, "We've had a little luck with the Rebel. He's told us that the patrol was purely investigatory. They spotted the boats, and came out for a look. TK and Remmy are working on sending the 'all clear' signal back to their base, then sending the phantom Rebels off on another mission, so they don't wonder where their boys are."
"We've also found out there's one hell of a gun battery about three islands down, commands a fair deal of the surrounding seaway. That'll be out next target."
The SL hesitated, "Also..."
Kami flicked her green gaze to his, "What?"
Afyon grimaced, "He asked to see you."
Kami froze, "Why?"
Afyon shook his head, "I don't know, but you're under no obligation to go."
Kami relaxed slightly, "Ok, thanks Sarge."
Afyon nodded, threw the Corporal a brightening smile, then continued down the hallway to brief the others.

Kami walked to the doorway, then looked down the hall towards where Matther's was being kept. What would he want to talk to me for....
Kami dithered in the doorway before her curiosity got the better of her.
She walked indecisively up the hall, coming to stop at the door less entryway.
Zafo leaned around the corner, "Hey."
"Hey..." Kami stepped into the room, and immediately felt Matther's blue gaze on her.

He was in a bad way.
He was naked, his body flushed red where great welts had spread up across his chest and face. His nose was had been broken, judging by the trail of blood running down his mouth and chin, and most of his fingers broken and reset.

He let out a slurred laugh, "Didn't think you'd come..."
Zafo looked between the two, then stepped silently out of the room, "I'll be just outside, "He whispered into Kami's ear as he brushed past her.

Kami took a small step forwards, "What do you want."
Matthers let out another drunken sounding laugh, "When I first saw you...it confused the hell out of me..."
Despite the rising sense of warning flaring in her chest Kami took another step towards the beaten man, "What do you mean?"
Matther's lowered his voice to a harsh whisper, a cruel grin spreading across his disfigured face, "...See I thought you were on my side...those pretty green eyes..."
Kami's heart skipped a beat, as Matther's gave her a wink.

"You and her...must be twins."

Kami felt as though a void had opened beneath her feet.

Stifling the cry which threatened to break free from her throat, Kami spun and sprinted from the room, past a surprised Zafo
..and away from the Rebel who had made her worst fear a reality...

    Giving back FA's X-1 Knight jumped off the boat and secured it with some wire from the boat to a tree. Shouldering his E-11/M he headed back towards the boat to unload the gear that was needed to start their mobile command base. Picking up a heavy piece of comm gear he moved over to where Snipes was admiring his work on a small storage area in the side of a hill. "This where FA wants us to put the gear," Knight said setting the box down in front of the black sanded cave.
    "Yep just start setting it in the back and after we're all done loading it in I can put a camo net over the entrance and it will be undectable because of the anti scanner scramblers that are built into it." Snipes said caressing the side of the cave lovingly.
    "Okay, but your helping too," Knight ordered smiling at Snipes, knowingly that he can't really order another Sergeant around. Picking up the box again he put it in the back of the cave and headed toward the ship. Snipes already there hauled a crate of food back and smiled hoping there was some kind of alcohol inside. Thinking to himself yeah I bet I know what he is thinking about, maybe we can do that again after this mission was over. Picking up a crate with spare ammo packs and explosives he finished up unloading the boat.
