Mission 1: Yellow Zinc
Jess fires back, striking the enemy. He falls to the ground. The other soldiers seem to be low on charge for their weapons, and as a group reload their guns.
Meanwhile, F3-3T is very busy. He press-gangs his new militia into serving as his sacrificial brigade, arming them with explosives and giving them their instructions. One after another, the droids begin to march, in their plodding, unhurried pace, towards the Espos.
The Espos see all this. Wide-eyed and with empty guns, they hurry to finish reloading. Then one, and then the rest, all run back down the hallway.
Captain Landal hisses as she witnesses this. Unlike many commanders, she does not order her men to stand and fight when faced with certain death. Instead, she joins them in their hasty retreat. She has time to snap off a shot and destroy one of the droids before she makes it back into the hallway. The enemy are all about thirty meters down the hall now.
