Shot Down [Closed w/llgeneralhuxll]
“Resh outpost this is Upsilon Two-Four, come in over.” The shuttle had tried - for a third time - to contact the First Order outpost set up on the planet. Their inspection was due, but no longer were they responding to communications request. Unfortunately, their failure to respond wasn’t reported along the chain. With protocol not being followed - such as sending a QRF to investigate, General Hux and Captain Tarunt, nor their Stormtrooper bodyguards or the Pilots had any clue.
“Switch to Emergency Channels, maybe they left something.” The pilot suggested to his co-pilot as they tried to figure it out. Not long after that, and the check on emergency channels revealing nothing, the Pilot switched to the intercomm system.
“General, Captain. Resh Outpost is not responding to our hails. We’re going to perform a fly-over and report it - “ His sentence was interrupted by a harsh beeping. “INCOMING, BRACE FOR IMPACT! DEPLOY COUNTERMEASURES!” The Shuttle veered harshly to the side, making Elena quite glad she was strapped in.
Outside, a missile narrowly missed the First Order shuttle, as the countermeasures did the trick. However, the beeping hadn’t stopped and another missile had already been fired. This one found its mark and smashed right into the cockpit as it exploded, causing the shuttle to crash in flames.
Captain Tarunt wasn’t really sure what had caused her to lose consciousness at that point, or for how long she had. When she began to come to, however, her first, blurred sight was of carnage aflame. To her left, she could see a white figure trying to help up a black one, quickly reasoning it to be a Stormtrooper helping up the General. Good. She thought. He survived. However, as she looked to the right, she saw the answer as to why she wasn’t being assisted either. Three bodies of Stormtroopers, still attached to their seats, their wounds clearly suggesting their fate was rather instantaneous.
