ONLY THOSE WHO KNOW, KNOW.

"GREEN LIGHT! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" The OOM unit shouts as the hatch opens and the line of uniformed and armored men start running to the ramp "GO! GO! GO! GO!" He shouts as they leap into the dark expanse. Captain Perez looks back as he falls, the vessel above vanishing as its adaptive camouflage blends it into the clouds. As he swings back around his HUD tells him the distance to landing, an automated preplanned route as his jetpack's gyroscope lines him up and prepares the landing burn, the system is pre-planned, and unless something goes wrong, will land him at a predetermined drop point.

He's falling at terminal velocity, then, two hundred meters up the pack fires, slowing him rapidly and dropping him safely on the ground. "Brillo Battalion, all check in." He states on his coms as he moves quickly to cover.

"Copy leader, heading to waypoint Bravo." A number of lower ranks reply back as he meets up with more of his soldiers.

"Fast movers inbound!" A voice calls out over the radio and all the soldiers move quickly to cover.

"Get the MPRL." Perez orders and several soldiers open a case and assemble a rocket launcher, "Hold fire unless we're spotted."

"Roger Roger sir."

A pair of Vulture droids fly across the sky above them, seemingly looking and failing to find signs of the ships that had dropped them.

"Clear, move out!"

The team moves quickly, meeting up with the other Battalions and cutting quietly through the forest,

Miles away in an orbital station, Oberst-Colonel Katanya Atams watches the moving dots on a map as the transports return to the station.

"They've evaded the aircraft. Good." Katanya says quietly.

"Colonel Yoo-Magon isn't going to stop at one patrol, she's moving infantry to sweep the area."

Katanya nods. "Yes, but they're already clear, they'll make it to Firebase Luna."

"If they hold their fire and don't shoot down any of the aircraft, if they get spotted they'll get hit."

"We will see if they remember their training."

Yoo-Magon shakes her head. "We need more time for training."

"I don't like it either, but this is the time and number we have."

"They've been detected." A droid announces looking at the map. "Shall we call it off?"

Katanya shakes her head. "No, keep it going, let's see how the learn from the mistake." She says frowning. "Perhaps, we need to start planning alternatives."
