The squad would move along with their new robotic allies. Advancing along the road towards the village. Spirit was still visibly skeptical of the Beholden. Dax was eyeing them wearily. Mimix was walking right next to one of them seemingly unfazed by them. So was Volta, though he had some form of pride in his eyes. Skeleton was keeping his distance from these robots.

"Mimix, maybe don't get so close to them." Spirit urged.

Mimix would ignore Spirit and keep walking next to the Beholden. The Beholden robots just marched forwards as well.

"How exactly are they supposed to help us with our objective." Dax asked over comms.

"I have no idea." Jinx said over comms.

"50 ton war machines who know this land better then we do thats how," Volta snapped over comms, "working with them could also be a start of an alliance."

Soon the village would come into view. The squad would see a C-9979 lander, the lander was sitting in an open clearing inside the village.

"Boys weapons up be ready for anything." Volta ordered.

The whole squad reacted on instinct, raising their weapons up. Skeleton himself had a droid popper in his hand.

SF-203 looked over at Volta.

"What is that?" SF-203 asked.

"It is a seperatist landing craft meaning they are trying to expand out here." Volta replied.

SF-203 looked towards the ship.

"Mission updated: destory or capture the separatist landing craft." SF-203 stated.

"Im not listening to any droid no offense." Spirit grumbled.

"Could I help with the capture?" Mimix asked SF-203.

"Mimix no, you stay back." Spirit retorted.

SF-203 said nothing just looked towards Volta.

"I'd prefer it be destroyed if anything but let me check with him," Volta said getting on comms, "Jinx we found a landing craft do we destroy or capture it?" Volta asked.

"Capture it? What the hell do you want to capture it for?" Jinx asked over comms.

"We could break it down use it to possibly hack droid frequencies and Mimix, get back behind me at least." Volta said over comms.

Mimix huffed and walked back behind Volta.

"Stand by, let me run it up the chain." Jinx ordered over comms.

Volta waited for the answer to come.

"Echo squad, your objective has been updated. Clear out the village, try and take the lander if possible." Jinx would state over comms.

"Move in arrow head formation, Spirit find a highpoint." Volta ordered.

The Beholden robots start to advance toward the village in a wall formation. Spirit would look around. As he did, he'd spot a water tower that would provide a good vantage point. He went to the water tower. Skeleton, was still weary of the Beholden he would stay by the rear of the formation to avoid them.

"Mimix, go with Spirit for his back up. Dax, Skeleton, with me to the ship." Volta ordered.

Mimix went after Spirit. Spirit heard her approaching and looked back at her.

"Mimix stay with the group." Spirit said sternly.

"Volta put me with you." Mimix replied.

Spirit let out a sigh and nodded then started up the water tower with Mimix behind him. As the rest of the squad got ready to make their advance towards the town, they would hear the Beholden robots starting to engage....quite aggressively, the droid garrison on the left flank of the town.
