Bismarck's POV

We have just received our armor upgrades. It isn't as heavy as the old stuff but will do. I was told that we are getting another person to try and lead us. Hope they leave as well, we are fine on our own. General Skywalker's ship the Twilight landed in front of us. The bay door swings down and Skywalker walks out,

Skywalker: Alpha Thirteen, meet you new Commanding officer.

We all look to the ship and see a clone walk down and stand at attention.

Crucible's POV

They have changed a lot. Minimal battle damage on the armor and no commander. I'm glad they were actually listening during my teaching,

Crucible: My name is Commander Crucible, I expect you boys to behave now.

They all get up and run over to me. They group hug me and I chuckle.

Crucible: I'm back boys. I'm back for good. Now get off, we have work to do.

They all get off and salute me. They walk over to their gears and get ready. Skywalker walks over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder,

Skywalker: How do you do it?

I chuckle and take off my helmet. I look at the General and say,

Crucible: We are a band of misfits. We respect everyone, but only listen to each other. I originally was gonna make Ranger the leader but he declined. They all voted me to be the leader. So I have lead them since then.

The General nods and walks back to the twilight. My squad walks back over and is in full gear. I put my helmet back on and nod to them.

Crucible: So, ready for a mission boys?

Alpha 13: Sir, Yes, Sir!

Crucible: Good. Our mission is assassination, one of our specialties. We are taking out a separatist supplier. Ranger, you go ahead of us and scout. Report your findings when we arrive.

He salutes and walks away.

Crucible: Bismarck, I need you to gather weapons. Blasters and Long rifles.

He nods and walks towards the armory,

Crucible: Delta, I want you and Tinker to work on making us a device to get in.

Delta/Tinker: Sir Yes Sir!

They walk off. I nod and walk onto the Twilight. I go General Skywalker and sit next to him.

Crucible: They are preparing for the mission. Tell me more about the target.

Skywalker: Her name is Elizabeth. No known last name. She is a supplier of droids to the separatists. She will be on Tatooine for a meeting with an unknown sith. I want you to remove Elizabeth from the picture. Do not engage the unknown sith.

I nod and get out of my chair. I walk out of the ship and see Bismarck with a crate.

Crucible: What do you have Marck?

Bismarck: I have 3 rifles, 2 macrobinoculars, and 4 blasters.

I nod and pat his shoulder,

Crucible: Load then onto the ship.

He walks away with the crate and goes into our transport ship that is here. Delta walks up with Tinker. Tinker is holding a thermal detonator,

Crucible: What's with the detonator Tinker?

Tinker: It emits a sonic pulse that scans a room and displays on the binoculars who or what is in the room.

I nod and look at Delta. He hands me a backpack.
