The door was quickly opened by Ketsu just in time as we flooded through it. Only leaving behind a reluctant Zeb with Hondo and Melch. Our boots slapped the polished floors, with no stormtroopers in the way we made it to the command center quickly. We stopped by the door, Sabine toying with the panel.
"Can you get us in?"
"Give me a minute." Sabine said, pressing a few more buttons.
"Ezra, we are in position." Hondo said over the comms,
"Sabine?"
"Okay."
"Hondo, go!" Ezra confirmed, I got my lightsaber ready, prepared to burst through that door once the signal was given. We all waited awkwardly in the doorway waiting for the sound of blaster fire. After a few seconds, the Imperial's blasters went off.
"That's our cue." Ezra said, pulling out his lightsaber, he darted in into the room. I followed suit, cutting an officer's blaster in half and pinning him into a corner. The officer's eyes widened with fear as he held his shaky hands up in defeat.
"That's right. Get down." I growled, the officer did as he was told, practically dropping to his knees. I corralled the Imperials up, before Rex took them away. My sabers retreated back into their hilt. We had taken control of the command center. Everything was going according to plan.
"Nice job with your lightsaber." Ezra commented,
"Not too bad yourself." I said, giving him a smirk.
"That's what training does to you." He laughed, putting his saber away for safe keeping. Ryder and Zeb entered the room, making Pryce kneel down in the middle of the command center.
"It's only a matter of time before your discovered."
Nervous chatter.
"You can't hope you defeat my forces." She said, her eyes jumping from rebel to rebel.
"Defeat them? Hmm, not planning to." Sabine said, popping off her helmet so she could help Kallus.
"Did you think we were stupid or something?"
"Be nice, Celeste." Ezra warned, rolling his indigo eyes at me.
"But we do want the all in the dome."
"We'll utilize protocol 13." Kallus said, jumping into the conversation.
"The Empire's new order, for the immediate recall of all personnel to the base for a full evacuation." Hera explained to the Governor who was trying to mask her shocked expression.
"Once they're all inside, we'll launch and-,"
"Bye, bye, Empire." I said, cutting off Ryder and waving my gloved hand at Pryce. She narrowed her eye brows my direction, probably just as annoyed at my existence as I was hers.
"Spectre-2 to base. We're in and we've taken the dome. Wait for me to signal for pickup." Hera said into the com-link as I listened to the soft humming of the command center, with no Imperials in here it was oddly peaceful. The song of the machines all around us.
"Acknowledged, Spectre-2. Nice work. We're standing by." Wolffe responded in the same rough voice that Rex had.

Everyone had changed back into their regular clothes. Waiting for Sabine to do her job with the computers.
"Ezra, we're ready." Sabine announced, I nodded walking up to Kallus with Ezra.
"Kallus, you're up." At that, Kallus pressed a button so he could be patched through the the Imperial troops.
"Attention, all personnel. Protocol 13 is now in effect. Report to your action stations immediately. Repeat. Protocol 13 is in effect." Yes, we did it.
"Hangar 2-7 to Command." A man's voice suddenly came from the command center's computer, making my shoulders tense.
"Please confirm lockdown order."
"Command center to all units. The order is confirmed." Kallus insisted, I glanced over at Pryce with crossed arms. A pleased smirk played out across her face. She doesn't think we can do it. I'll show her. I took a step towards her but Ezra stopped me from doing anything further, putting his arm out in front of me and shaking his head.
"Don't do it, Celeste. Don't bring her satisfaction by knowing that she got to us." He said, using the force to communicate with me. I took a deep breath and nodded, giving her a quick glare before turning my attention back to Kallus.
"This is highly irregular. Please repeat sector authorization." The Imperial Officer said, Ezra wasted no time.
"Ryder, get ready."
"Repeat, the order is confirmed." Kallus said, still trying to save himself.
"This is ISB Colonel Yularen. I am executing override code Base Gamma Zero." Ryder said, taking over for Kallus.
"Imperial Security? I was unaware ISB was involved." The man said, slightly astonished.
"That is the point of this exercise."
"Then this is a drill?"
"Is it? And do you always question the orders of a superior officer?" The man cleared his throat, stunned.
"Proceeding with protocol 13 immediately." At that, the officer dropped off. Success.
"Sounds like they bought it, Colonel. Nice work." Ezra congratulated, Ryder gave him a nod of thanks.
"Good job, Kallus." I said, giving his hand a rough shake.
"Thank you. A good job to you as well."
