After a week of leave from the fighting Echo Squad would slowly learn that with the Republic reinforcements, the front lines have almost tripled in size on the side of the republic. They would all return to the military academy HQ  to find that it was now in full swing with a huge vehicle pool, supply depot, and grounds for clones to train BID recruits. As the squad would return to the briefing room, they would notice that the room looked more like the briefing rooms  they were used to seeing before hearing about this forsaken planet. The squad would even notice a little astromech droid assisting Jinx in his work. 

Skeleton would observe the droid from a distance, under the guise of doing work on the holonet terminal. He wondered why there was a droid all of a sudden. 

Spirit would cock his head to the side puzzled. 
"Umm Jinx, what's with the droid?" Spirit asked. 

The droid would beep a bit. 

"This is L4T4, he's only temporary because of my head injury I got from the crash." Jinx explained. 

"Wouldn't a protocol droid be a better pick for an assistant?" Skeleton asked, "This way we could all understand what it's saying." 

"Skeleton has a point advisor, wouldn't a protocol droid be more logical than this tin can." Volta said. 

"Hey be nice Volta!" Jinx yelled.

The droid made clearly angry beeps towards Volta. 

"Beggars cant be choosers." Jinx remarked. 

Volta would pulled out his blaster and took a shot at L4, missing. The droid would roll away from Volta and towards Cassatopia. 

"I'll keep you safe." Cassatopia told the little droid. 

"Are you insane!? What the hell is wrong with you Volta!" Spirit yelled at Volta. 

"Volta! That droid is property of the republic! You break it you answer to command." Jinx warned. 

The little droid beeped in agreement.

"I have a problem with droids." Volta would sneer. 

"He's only temporary until a Y-wing he's attached to is done with repairs." Jinx would reply. 

"Awww but I want the droid to stay forever." Cassatopia said with a defeated tone. 

"I can only barley understand the thing... guess I need to learn what it is saying." Skeleton said.

When Skeleton tried to say hello to the droid he accidently told the little droid to go to hell. 

"Leave the droid be!" Jinx snapped.

"That droid is going to get revenge just so you guys know. So you better be nice to it." Spirit says. 

Skeleton went back to work trying to get the anti-virus up on the computer, but couldn't due to all the pop up ads.

"I agree with Spirit." Cassatopia stated. 

L4 beeped in agreement. 

"I got your back little droid." Spirit said smiling. 

"So do I." Stated Casatopia. 

L4 beeped happily. 

"Anyways," Stated Jinx "Onto your mission." 

"Mission?" Echoed Spirit. 

"I don't care too much right now... some idiot clicked n adware link on this computer and I have to fix it." Skeleton grumbled while listening to Jinx. 

"Your mission is Simple. There is a separatist and commonwealth airfield that has been deploying gunships and ground attack aircraft. Destroying the field with bombers is near impossible with combination of fighters and advanced anti aircraft weapons, this job must be done by you." Jinx explained.
