It was a rather rude awakening for the 194th Army Corps. The warning signal had been given, and all the flotilla personnel were running like crazy from one place to another through the corridors of the ship.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Roy put on his padawan clothes combined with the white armor pieces with light blue hues characteristic of the legion, and prepared to go to the command post. Along the way he ran into Commander Tukk and Captain Hammer, who joined the young Padawan's race towards his destination.
Once they arrived at the command center, they ran into their general, who kept his eyes on the projection of the surface of a planet. A planet that both Tukk and Hammer remembered with distaste. For they were there after all when the war broke out.
Tukk: - Geonosis... - He said with a raspy and distrustful voice.
Roy: - General. What has happened?
Pablo: - We received a call from the council. We must join a massive assault that will be carried out on the planet of Geonosis. We were informed that the Genosians have put a second droid factory into operation. We do not know many details, but what is certain is that we cannot let this factory start operations. -
Tukk: - That won't be a problem sir. We'll kill as many damn bugs as we have to. -
Both Roy and Pablo were somewhat surprised at this statement. They both felt... anger... in the commander's words, and that was something extremely strange. Although the most confusing thing was seeing how Hammer looked sad at his superior's reaction... and not confused.
Pablo: - Commander, get the troops ready. As soon as we reach Geneosis and contact General Ki-Adi-Mundi we will know our orders. -
Tukk: - Immediately, sir. -
And I don't wait for a second word to retire, leaving both Roy and Hammer behind. The Padawan and the captain had to quicken their pace to reach him, and it was impossible for the young lieutenant to ignore why his commander activated that way.
Roy: - Oye... Tukk... ¿Eatas bien? -
Tukk: - Who me? Of course I'm fine. We must sign up and notify the rest. -
Roy: - But no... -
Roy's insistence was quickly cut short when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Tukk did not stop walking despite the lieutenant's questions, nor did he see how Hammer rested his hand on Roy's shoulder while shaking his head. Roy didn't have to internalize much to understand that it was better not to continue investigating... At least not for the moment.
The planet of Geonosis was not far from the location of the 194th flotilla. So their arrival was quite rushed, and some of the Clones were not even ready when the signal to report to the hangar was given. Meanwhile, a meeting was taking place at the command post.
Around the tactical table, the Republic's high command coordinated the attack. While Tukk, Hammer and Roy listened from a distance, General Pablo held a tactical meeting with the rest of the generals present. The holo-projections Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luminara Unduli and Ki-Adi-Mundi, who was in charge of the entire operation.
Skywalker: - I'm not going to deny it. That wall looks pretty difficult to overcome. -
Obi-Wan: - Still, it doesn't seem like we have much choice. I don't like this battlefield. I have a feeling that the landing will be quite complicated. -
Ki-Adi-Mundi: - Our best option is to reach the landing point... Right here... and here.- He said while pointing on the map. - Any unforeseen event We must act as independent companies. But for that we need to cut the enemy supply lines. And that is where you intervene, General Pablo. -
