| As Saesee Tiin and Commander EZ continue their search for the Separatist base on the planet of Oner, clone pilots Eta & Iota remain with the gunship, Avenger.
| |
 | 
Eta: What does their latest report say?
| |
| 
Iota: General Tiin and Commander EZ have discovered four more turrets. No sight of the base yet.
| |
| 
Iota: Our orders are to remain here. And to be on the lookout.
Eta: Yes, sir.
THUD!
| |
| 
Eta: The creature has moved away. It appears to be following the squad.
Iota: General Tiin was right. But with darkness falling, the squad will have a hard time seeing it, much less any battle droids.
| |
| 
Eta: Did you hear that?
| |
| 
Iota: What? The creature? Yea, I heard it.
| |
| 
Eta: No, not that……something else……
Iota: Like what?
| |
| 
Eta: It sounded like……
| |
| 
Eta: BATTLE DROIDS!!! Ambush!! Ambush!!
| |
| 
Iota: Open fire!!!
| |
| 
Iota: They’re flanking us! Inside the ship!
| |
| 
Iota: Come in…come in Commander EZ……we’re under attack! Four battle droids identified! Requesting backup!
| |
| 
Iota: They’re jamming our signal! We’re on our own! Take out as many as you can!
Eta: Yes, sir!
| |
| 
Eta: More droids coming! There’s too many of them!
Iota: We’re not going to hold out here for long……we better move!!
| |
| 
Iota: AAAHHH!! I’m hit!!! Go! Get out of here! We’re being over-run!!
Eta: No……I can’t……not without you…
| |
| 
Iota: GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!
Eta: Yes, sir……
| |
| 
Eta: More droids……
| |
| 
Eta: Got to clear a path…
| |
| 
Eta: Gotcha!
| |
| 
Eta: Oh……not good……more droids……
| |
| 
Eta: …keep them at a distance……I might still get out of here.
| |
| 
Eta: Halt!!! Who are you?!?!
| |
| 
Eta: Too fast……UGHHHH……
| |
| 
Bang!
Eta: uuuuggghhhh……
| |
| 
Sagev: Where is the Jedi?
| |
| 
Eta: ……don’t know……what you’re talking about……on a peace mission……
| |
| 
Sagev: Then you’ve failed!
CRACK!
| |
| 
Sagev: He’s dead. Where’s the other one?
| |
| 
Iota: ……ughh……losing blood……need a bacta tank……
| |
| 
Sagev: You’ll need much more than a bacta tank IF you don’t tell me the location of the Jedi! Do not test my patience.
| |
| 
Iota: ……massive blood loss……I need a bacta tank first……
Sagev: How’s this?
| |
| 
STAB!
Iota: UUGGHHH!
| |
| 
Sagev: One less clone for the Republic.
| |
| 
Sagev: Droid, check their communications. And notify Dooku we’ve secured their gunship.
| |
| 
Meanwhile, back at the base on Oner…
Sagev over comlink: ……we’ll soon have the location of the Jedi.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: You see, Viceroy. Everything is under control. You may begin landing your ships.
Nute Gunray: Excellent, my Lord.
