All of Bear Claw was studying everything the Commander gave them, Bishop being to her side and cross armed - having read the reports, the plan a million times over. He stepped forward after the Commander, giving his own words of wisdom.
âA few parting words,â Bishop spoke up finally, âIf your officersâ dead and sergeants look while, remember itâs ruin to run from the fight!â The man began, causing his men to straighten up and take part of the chant and cadence.
âSo take open order, lie down, and sight tight, and wait for orders like a soldier! Wait, wait, wait like a soldier! And when youâre on Geonosian plains, and the bugs eat up what remains, jest up your rifle, and blow out your brains! Anâ go to your Pod like a soldier! Go, go, go like a soldier! Die like a soldier!â
âAgol!â Bishop screamed.
âHoorah!â The men screamed and already, they were pumped and ready for this mission.
That left Bishop and Alina now that the soldiers began to move to their quarters and staging areas, allowing him to take a look at the plans before them. âThis is going to be fun.â
Alina kept her eyes watchful on the men under her command. A swell of pride filled her as they all maneuvered to the small ships they would be boarding. Alina was to lead the one ship while Bishop was to lead the other ship. It would make splitting up easier and she trusted Bishop to be able to lead the men without getting any of them killed on his team.Â
She laughed at his comment, âIf you believe combat is fun, then sure Iâll agree with you. Do you understand the plan? Any questions you want to ask before we drop down at the points of interest?â She asked, one more time before they were getting prepared to head out.Â
A set of nerves began to settle into her stomach, like before starting any mission. It was normal for her, but a part of her was feeling confident. Especially knowing that the men were feeling confident themselves. âI trust that this mission will go well.â The words were more so to reassure herself.
