[b]In the dead of night, the NCR Ranger Watcher traveled the war torn halls of the dojo, headed for the exit.
He had a bag, which was packed. It seemed he planned on leaving the dojo. But why? He trained many guards, and was in the middle of training more.
He stopped at the gates, and sighed to himself. He turned to the person following him [/b]
"You can come out now!"
[spoiler]Open! You followed him [/spoiler]

"Kinda a small though, you ever smuggle anything?"
-
"I'm not going to answer that one." He chuckles, lifting off. "Where we heading?"
-
"First land mass 25 or so miles East of here."
-
"Alright, should be in sight within fuve minutes." The ship flys smoothly in that direction.
-
"Excellent! Be prepped for anything."
-
Cannon nods. "Engaging stealth systems and arming weapons. Disruptors, ion cannon, and lasers are charged. Missile and torpedo safeties are off. Shields at 100%."
-
"Maybe not that much. ..." [b]Watcher chuckled slightly [/b]
-
"This planet has literal gods and titans. I'm notvtaking chances." The ship moves in on the islands.
-
"Yeah, that's a fair Point." [b]he leaned back against the wall of the ship [/b]
-
"I'm within scanning range of the islands." He informs him.
-
"Meaning what? Geo scans? Thermal scans?"
-
"Both. I'm also scanning comm frequencies and life signs." He replies.
-
"Anything so far?" [b]The radio frequencies were all deadly silent, nothing but a static. As for life signs, there were plenty of them. Animals, humans who knows what [/b]
-
"Radios are silent. I'm picking up plenty of life signs. Some possibly human."
-
"Great! Its gotta be them... But what If it's not?"
-
"Then we keep looking." The ship passes over the island.
-
[b]It's a rather small, generic one. Mostly covered by a dense forest with a small Mountain and plenty of Hills Readings indicate cave entrances going deeper inside, into the heart [/b]
-
"I'm just going to go out on a limb here and assume the platoon ended up in this cave." Cannon says, gesturing towards the readings.
-
"That's pretty huge, it's underneath most of the island..."
-
Cannon nods. "The I guess we should start looking. I'll deploy a few probes."
-
"Probes? Won't they lose signal underground?"
-
"Yes, but they'll record everything they see and report back. And they won't get lost."
-
"I guess one can only hope." [b]He leaned over, trying to get a glimpse of the island [/b]
-
Cannon hits a few buttons and a squadron of small probe droids deploy towards the caves and across the island. "They should have the whole island scanned within an hour."
-
"An hour?! That's pretty damn efficient."
