Reject Squad: the struggle of commandos

Commando down

A day had passed since the new recruits had arrived on Phylo. Volta was checking over all the dropped off equipment. Spirit cautiously walked over to Volta. 

"Volta, sir are you ok? I'm sorry about the way Skeleton acted. I may not know what happened before we got here but I do understand that it must have been hard on you,  just understand that I'm here if you need to talk with anyone ok?" Spirit stated. 

Volta just walked off. Spirit let out a sigh wondering why Volta was so closed off. 

"All commandos head to debrief immediately." Jinx said over comms.

Volta would gear up before heading to the debrief. Spirit headed to the debrief as well. Skeleton stopped his workout when he heard Jinx and headed to the debrief when he got there he sat away from Volta. Volta would be standing at attention while Spirit kept his eyes on the two. 

"With the commandos we have been cleared for a mission." Jinx said. 

"Good to know advisor." Volta said dryly.

"So the target is a command node behind enemy lines." Jinx stated.

"Alright, what's guarding it?" Skeleton asked. 

"Unknown. There have been several attempts to take the node. We have no idea how many droids are still there." Jinx replied. 

"So we will need to go in stealthily if I am hearing this right? And who ordered this mission do they really think its a good idea considering yesterdays incident?" Spirit chimed.

"All attempts have failed so far, and Commander Apalm personally approved this surprisingly." Jinx said answering both questions at once.

"How important is the node?" Skeleton asked. 

"Important enough to require us to go just take orders and we will scout the area before making moves." Volta said harshly. 

"If it isn't too important, I got an Very easy fix to this Situation.... Just bomb it with a Y wing." Skeleton suggested. 

"We don't have access to such things or even have access to air support" Volta hissed. 

"Actually, the node has been tagged with high priority. That means success at all cost!" Jinx quickly informed. 

"Fine, Do we have LAAT Gunships?" He said "If so we can use their ball turrets to take out some units before we land...." Skeleton hoped. 

"But we should still go in with caution if we make a scene they will know we are there and that could spell trouble." Spirit muttered to himself. 

"No going in guns blazing is pure stupidity we are going in with no knowledge we need to take a gunship to land nearby to scout then figure out a plan." Volta snapped at Skeleton. 

"Now, for you new commandos. A commando node is a local CIS headquarters that controls over all CIS forces in the area. If destroyed, droids in the area will have a sharp decline operating capacity and tactical efficiency." Jinx informed. 

"I see, understood sir." Spirit said with a nod. 

"Fine." Skeleton muttered. 

Skeleton handed a ball like device to Volta. 

"This might buy your ass a few seconds." Skeleton said venomously to Volta. "Well, than...I'll stick with Volta's plan...it'll be our best bet." Skeleton stated. 

"What's this for Skeleton?" Volta asked. 

"I just told ya... to save your ass by helping you not get shot...."  Skeleton said and walked out to get the rest of his gear. 

"I'm not done yet team." Jinx stated. 

"Can he not attack our squad lead every chance he gets?" Spirit muttered with a sigh. 

"I haven't told you how you're getting there." Jinx said seeing Skeleton walk out he groaned and jumped on the comm link, "Commando Skeleton, come back to briefing we aren't done. Jinx stated.
