"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]
-
"Well, we found some of them." He shows Watcher the scans.
-
[quote][b]Watcher was silent. He looked down to the ground, then looked back up [/b] "-blam!-."[/quote]
-
[spoiler]I replied to that.[/spoiler]

"At least we know they went to the caves. Want to go take a look?" Cannon asks, piloting the ship towards the cave entrance.
-
"Yeah, let's do that." [b]He looked back up, calming himself after the sight of the dead [/b]
-
Cannon seems unaffected by the sight as he loads his blaster rifle and moves to exit the ship.
-
[b]Watcher followed him to exit, holding his rifle up [/b]
-
He steps out, checking the area with a sweep of his gun before moving towards the cave entrance.
-
[b]Watcher was hot on his heels, covering their six [/b]
-
As soon as they're clear, the ship lifts back into the air and begins to circle the island. Cannon moves in on the entrance.
-
"We sure about this?" [b]Watcher stopped for a moment [/b]
-
"You want to find your missing man or not?" Cannon asks.
-
"Well yeah..." [b]He shifted uncomfortably [/b]
-
Cannon laughs. "You aren't wimping out on me, are you?"
-
"Oh no, of course not. But these guys took down an entire platoon.."
-
"But that platoon wasn't packing the firepower I have. We'll be fine. I can call in the dreadnouht if tbings go bad."
-
"Alright, here goes." [b]Watcher jogged into the cave, turning on a flashlight [/b]
-
Cannon follows, activating his helmet and gun mounted lights.
-
[b]As we walk through the cave, we walk past the three Guards that were propped up against the wall. Watcher mumbled a quick prayer before he continued deeper into the cave [/b] [spoiler]Potential Lives Saved: 38/43[/spoiler]
-
Cannon scans the bodies, attempting to discover the cause of death.
-
[b]Bullet holes. The first, two holes in the chest. The second, two wholes in the chest The third, a shot to the head [/b] "Whoever did this was good." [b]Watcher had stopped to await Canon [/b]
