Star Wars: A Lost Trooper

C19

One more time, but one thing separates this time from the last. Experience. This time is different. We are walking in the horribly hot, and dangerous jungle, or forest its honestly whatever you say. Recently I've been seeing it as more of a jungle. As a trooper I never payed attention to it, I just saw it as another worthless piece of rock, but I now see it as much more. I found out what tactical importance that this planet has. It has a large variety of biomes, and could serve as a very important planet for making more prepared, and skilled troopers. I also found out that it was called Einta, and that we are currently in a place called Beinnam. There are also the remains of ancient humans apparently. Also there are multiple lifeforms that haven't been seen before, and could be used for nutritional meals, also there are many resources like iron. I think that capturing this planet could change the length of the war drastically. I can rant for hours, but I must focus on the OBJ: Deploy hidden cameras throughout the forests deep inside enemy territory. I am with Spirit Squad, and we have two of the best troopers in Cody's opinion, I am yet to make up my mind. They are good, but I've only been with them for about a day. Their names are Waxer and Boil.
I hear footsteps behind me. I haven't had the time to tell them about the OBJ, and I haven't been able to talk to Waxer and Boil at all, as they weren't at the briefing.
Waxer: Sir, what's the objective?
Here comes the other. I hear footsteps behind me.
Boil: You can stop being so tight on the regs man.
Waxer: But-
I interrupt him.
Me: I think that you are both wrong here
I hear them stop for a second, and I hear others get closer.
Angle: Ace doesn't want people to call him sir when off duty, like at base, but here he wants you to call him sir.
D: He wants to cut you some slack.
Angel: I wouldn't put it that way, he just wants you to be able to relax a little bit.
Me: Exactly
We keep walking, the heat and the bugs are once again bitting into our flesh. The heat is horrible, the suits we were are usually as wet as the rivers that we walk. We walk, and walk, and we walk. Eventually we come across a familiar clearing. It's the clearing that we got ambushed at, right along the "Red Line" as we call it. I begin to remember the past pain again.

Me: Scatter!
We quickly run from the middle of the clearing, and blaster fire is set off. I see red blaster bolts flying around me, and hitting the ground in front of me, I hear the sound of metallic feet. I look back, and I see a few brownish black droids shooting at us with E-5s. I quickly get behind a tree and look around for friendlies. I peak around and a blaster bolts flys right over my head. I grab my DC-15S, and unfold the stock. I start to army crawl my way to a bunch of rocks. On the way over I aim to my right and fire three bolts. I look up and see 2 other streams of blaster bolts. I get up and sprint towards the streams of fire.
Me: Covering fire!
They continue to light up the droids, but it seems that it is doing nothing.

I continue to stare and a single tear drops from my eye. Chuck walks up behind me and puts his hand on my shoulder
Chuck: You alright Spirit?
I cannot bear to say his name, as I fell that I might brake down and cry. So I replied.
Me: Yes sergeant, keep moving. Keep your blasters ready, and stay frosty.
Chuck: Yes sir
We do as I said, and nothing happens. We are walking and walking, just like I said. I note everything here. A tree that was struck by lightning, a very smooth boulder, and so on. I hear those footsteps again.
Waxer: Sir, where are we going?
I look at him.
Me: The cave, the one that me and Spirit lived in. We'll need to go through the creek though.
Waxer: Yes sir
We keep going, and I look to my left to see the new kid, he's shaky, he's scared. We reach the lake, and I take the first step. I feel the cold green water soak my suit, we keep going around the crater, and to that opening. I feel the water getting in the small crevices of my armor. It's cold. Very cold. We must keep going. I see the cliff.
Me: Get your climbing equipment troopers.
They all reply with a "yes sir!" And do it. We climb up, and I order them to halt before we break the top. I peek over and see 3 droids. I go back down.
Me: Chuck, Hacksaw get up here.
They get up to me quickly as I look at them.
Me: There are three droids grouped together, Chuck use an EMP, and after it detonates, Hacksaw, you take the stragglers out.
They respond with another "yes sir" and get into position.
Me: Now
I see that grenade go flying in the air, in all of its glory. It's beautiful. It goes off, and I see Hacksaw spray into the area, and it's over. Our walk is over, and we enter the camp.
