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.

-
[i]"Excellent! We'll start packing! Weren't exactly expecting a rescue mission [/i]
-
"Well, consider it a late Christmas present." Cannon taps his comms a few times, signaling his ship to scan for and mark the exit. He then sends another signal put requesting backup. "Alright, my buddies will be here in a few minutes. The quick response teams were still on standby."
-
"Great, can't wait to get out of here. Feels like a death Trap."
-
Cannon nods in agreement. "Allied ETA is fifteen minutes. We should probably start heading out. I'll take point." He moves to the door.
-
[i]"Almost Done." [/i] [b]The guards opened up the armory, grabbing their weaponry and prepared to move out [/b]
-
Cannon covers them as they load up. Overhead a loud rumbling can be heard.
-
[i]"Is that ship?"[/i] "Ay. It is."
-
"Ready to move out?" Cannon asks.
-
[i]"Ready." [/i] [b]The platoon started downwards the door, weapons raised [/b]
-
Cannon takes point, staying in front since his armor is the strongest. He keeps his head on swivel and his blaster raised.
-
[b]The platoon exited the small door in a single file line, entering a dark cave. Cannon came across an intersection, one leading right the other left [/b]
-
"Do we know which one leads out?" He asks, looking from one to the other.
-
[b]Marker stepped up, looking over Cannons shoulder [/b] [i]"We didn't even know there were two..." [/i]
-
"Osik..." He sends a sonar pulse down each one.
-
[b]Somehow, they both end up leading out. However the one on the right has a massive climb upwards on a rocky surface [/b]
-
"We go left." Cannon starts heading left.
-
[b]The men followed, and the hallway slowly got larger and larger. Until we saw sunlight[/b]
-
Cannon keeps his rifle at the ready. "Final stretch, be ready for anything."
-
[b][i][u]"Rea-"[/u][/i][/b] [b]Boom. A light explosion went off towards the back, taking three Guards with it. The guards pivoted, creating a circle looking in every direction [/b] "I think it was a mine..."
-
"Nobody move. I'll scan." He begins to scan the ground.
-
[b]There were nearly a dozen scattered about the small room, some furtherer away and others close [/b]
-
Cannon pulls up his scanner, the light shining onto each one and causing them to glow under the scan. "Watch your step."
-
[spoiler]Guards saved: 30/43[/spoiler] [b]The platoon moved more slowly, watching their steps [/b]
-
Cannon uses the scanner light to help them navigate the path. "Keep your guard up, they could be waiting at the exit."
-
"Wouldn't your ship have picked them up?" [b]They continued, almost at the exit [/b]
