We rode for a few hours, finding destroyed villages, bases and even down transports of the separatists, twi'leks and republic. "This isn't good, I don't think the freedom fighters are still here." Hype said. We stopped at a twi'lek village. "This place looks deserted." Snapper said. A droid transport flew over head. "Not good." Zadock said. "We got to move, if we get found, the AO will be over run with droids." Dust said. I have an idea, but it might work if I know my twi'leks smuggler buddy." Zadock said. "Come in this is *sigh* tin can. Please report location." Zadock said, earning a laugh or two from everyone except for Tel Dovar.
"This is tentacle head, what do you want tin can." his comm said. "Location of base, we are near an abandoned village. A droid ship has arrived near by." Zadock said. "Do into the large building, go down to the basement, find the safe, and enter 5 7 2 9 1." the comm said. "Got it, lets move, hide the speeders." Tel said and everyone ran to the largest building, found a hatch to the basement, found a safe, and pushed in the numbers.
"It's a smugglers safe, build against the wall with a false wall." Liza said. She removed the shelves. Dust, Hanson, cover the door, Hype, keep an eye on the window, commander Snapper, set sensors up by the door." Tel said. Zadock kicked attached a magnetic handle onto the false back, pulled it forward and moved to the side. "Clear, its a tight fit so you may need to carry the bigger guns side ways." Zadock said, as Tel and Liza crawled through the small opening. Zadock drew his pistol, go, I'll cover the door." he said, having the clones go next.
Zadock heard some droids walking towards the door. He quickly hid his lightsabers, put the shelves back and shut the safe. He shot the data pad and activiated a delayed tracker on his eye. Zadock ran out of the basement, busted through the door and saw several droids. "Well, come get some." he said, shooting a droid and moved to cover. The droids were simple battle droids, mostly dangerous in numbers, and there were a lot of them.
Zadock shot several at them and did his best to lead them away from the house. "Come on, come get some!" Zadock yelled. A droid shot him in the chest. The armor had absorbed the blast and Zadock fired again. A commando droid ran on the roofs moving to a better position than the B-1 battle droids. One moved into a spot and shot Zadock in the arm, his upper robotic arm, Zadock's arm fell and Zadock shot the commando.
Zadock ran to a different spot but was shot in the legs. "Don't kill him, he could be useful to us." a tactical droid said. Battle droids picked Zadock up and a commando droid broke the robotic eye.
