"What's going on out there?!" Patch asks Slash, walking into the hallway from his barracks.

"We're under attack! Trandoshans!" Slash yells.

Skratch now steps out of his barracks with Patch and looks around.

"What's going on?" He asks.

"Attack! Go warn the others! Get to the armory! Grab what you can!" Slash yells.

"On it!" Skratch nods.

Pope and Patcher run over and look at Slash.

"Get that door welded shut! We need to buy ourselves as much time as we can!" Slash says.

They both nod and run over to the door with plasma torches to start welding it shut. Slash grabs his helmet and slams it down on his head and grabs his carbine. He kneels down beside the wall and aims at the door while Pope and Patcher weld it shut. Patch, Reggie, Sparky, Ian and Stormer all took defensive positions in the hallway and aimed at the door. Rosalyn walks down the hallway toward Slash and the others. She was accompanied by CT-0-000 who had his crossbow in-hand with a quiver of arrows slung over his back.

"What's going on Corporal?" She asks Slash.

He looks over at her and lowers his blaster.

"Trandoshans have infiltrated the base. We have at least four men down." He tells her.

"Do you know if-"

"KIA." He tells her before she can finish.

She sighs before nodding.

"We cannot afford to lose this outpost." She says.

"With all due respect, General, we are on their turf, they have the home-field advantage, not to mention that they probably outnumber us." Slash tells her.

"You are right." She says.

"Our best bet is making a break for the ship on the landing pad." Stormer's says.

Slash looks over at him and he nods.

"He's right."

"We'll clear the way for you." Firestarter says from behind Rosalyn.

Stormer and Slash look past Rosalyn who turns around to see Mute and Firestarter walking toward them.

"Are you sure?" Rosalyn asks.

"Yes ma'am. Our armor, it's shielded. We can take a few hits before it starts hurting. Once they break through that door, you guys will do what you can to hold them off while Mute and I push into the command center. You will need to follow us, use us as cover if you will, we'll make sure there's a clear path to the ship." Firestarter says.

Rosalyn nods.

"You are brave." She tells them.

"It's our jobs, General." Firestarter smirks and puts his helmet on.

Chip, Zap, Skratch, Pacifist, and Pushover run down the hallway toward the others. Slash and the others look back at them.

"Sorry we're late! We were hitting the armory." Chip says.

Skratch starts passing blasters out to some of the other troops. Zap tossed a backpack with detonators over to Pacifist.

"Here, make yourself useful. Hold that." He tells him.

Skratch hands Pushover a blaster and he grabs it, taking a knee. Zap had a Z-6 and spins it up.

"Those lizards messed with the wrong clones!" Zap yells.
