"I'm not going to answer that one."
He chuckles, lifting off.
"Where we heading?"
English
-
"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."
-
"I use special toys." He replies.
-
[b]One of the drones pucks something up, reporting back. Five Dead guards were found in a dead end cave [/b]
