I woke up in a bed. I was not heavily injured but my head hurt a lot.
I had my helmet on the cupboard besides my bed. I grabbed it and put it on. As I exited the room, Hellfire and Diego were running to the main hangar. "Hey guys, wait for me!" I shouted. "Speed up, Redd!" said Diego. "Commander Cody is waiting for us in the hangar." Hellfire said as we ran trough the hallway.
When we entered the hangar a whole army of troopers was listening to a Aayla Secura's speech. "...and we need to eradicate the threat, which is that Droid Factory down in the valley!" the Jedi continued what she said before we entered.
There where 3 LAAT's waiting to be embarked by an army that would destroy the Factory.
As the ships went off to the valley, soldiers were praying and singing. I wasn't terrified... I just wanted to finish it faster and get some sleep or rest.
The entrance to the factory, which was in a mountain, was not guarded. A team was ready to breach the door. This time we had a special medic... Captain "Cancer" Patrick. His armor was covered with camouflage paint which was pretty awesome. Anyway, as the team breached the door a wave of lasers-bolts were shot from across the factory which was a huge warehouse in the middle of the mountain.
Our leader told us to descent with the elevator that was close to the entrance. As we descended Captain Patrick got shot in the shoulder. "If I don't make it, tell Aayla Secura... It was a good night back when we were on Coruscant... and lead these bastards alive..." he told me as he bled out. I took his dogtags and told the troopers "Listen up, our leader got shot and put me in charge. Squad A, get the left side... Squad B, get the right one the rest, provide cover while I plant the bomb, got it?". "Sir yes, sir!" they shouted as they continued shooting.
"Let's go to the exit boys!!" I said as I ran to the door. When we were all outside, I set the charges off... "One less factory is one less danger for the Senate." a teammate said. "We lost one of our own... That doesn't count as a win." I said as we boarded the LAAT
