I wait in the tower for Krell with Krux and Cruiser so we can answer Obi-Wan's transmission. i wanted to answer the transmission early and tell him about Krell's ridiculous behavior, but we need to focus on winning this conflict over this planet, no matter how much I wanted to tell Kenobi. But after, I will most definitely take the issues I have with Krell to people who can actually do something about it. I look at Krux and Cruiser, I had told mu communication officers to keep us updated on Krell's orders to the 501st, just so nothing gets past us while Krell was in charge. Krux and i don't want anymore trooper injustices occurring this close to the mission being complete. I cross my arms over my chest plate before I hear the door open and look over to see Krell and Captain Rex come in.
"Where is he?" Krell asks in a growl, making me grit my teeth and clench my fist with the hand which had the helmet tucked under the arm. Obi-Wan deserves more respect than that, even when he's not in the room!
"We were waiting for you." I say coolly before I gesture toward the communications systems as Obi-Wan's form slowly took shape at the panel.
"General Kenobi, do you read me?" Krell asks in a growl, causing my inner wolf to growl at his disrespect as I grit my teeth as my canines sharpen and lengthen.
"Congratulations on your capture of the airbase General Krell, General Shan. It's refreshing to have good news." Obi-Wan says to us, his voice a little warped from the Umbaran's communication technology. I nod in gratitude for his acknowledgement.
"There will be time for celebration after we've taken the capital." Krell says stiffly as he crosses all four of his arms, making me glare at him briefly.
"Yes, well, I'm afraid that's going to be more difficult than anticipated. *places a hand on his beard* Their attacks have increased, and their long-range missiles are forcing us to retreat from our positions." Obi-Wan says in reply.
"I was hoping we cut off their arm shipments and supplies when we took this air base." Krell says as Krux, Cruiser and i look at each other worried.
"It seems they are receiving new supply shipments directly from a ship orbiting--" Obi-Wan replies, before he begins breaking up, his image flickering.
"General Kenobi?" Krell asks in a firm voice.
"...difficulty transmitting. They must be jamming our signals." Obi-Wan says, glancing around and his voice fading in and out of communications.
"Can't we destroy the supply ship?" Rex asks as Cruiser stands beside him.
"We're trying, but with little success. Their fleet outnumbers ours, and the extra ships we were promised have not arrived yet." Obi-Wan says pointedly. Krux, Cruiser and I exchange worried glances, before returning our eyes forward to Obi-Wan.
"We'll just have to recapture the capital, regardless of the missiles." Krell growls, causing both Krux and I to turn to him.
"Easier said than done, General." I say to the Besilisk sharply, causing Obi-Wan to look at me curiously.
"Besides the casualties for such an endeavor... the value of success would be far outweighed by them. We would lose more than we would gain." Krux says in agreement, his tone just as sharp as mine, perhaps sharper since these men are his brothers.
"My battalion will meet you at the rendezvous coordinates." Krell says as if Krux and i hadn't spoken at all and i feel my blood, both Mandalorian and Mandalorian Wolf, boiling.
"We cannot expect--" Obi-Wan starts to say firmly, before the transmission was cut off.
"I'm trying to get him back, Generals." one of the communication officers from the 501st says.
