tSoT - Soldiers Tale - pt. 5

I can’t spare the time to watch the solar ship sail away.

I turn my head back to my opponent. But, the ship has kicked up a lot of dust preventing me from seeing him clearly.

I figure unless he has enhanced vision that means he can’t see me either.

I comm the command station.

“This is lieutenant Lawton, Enemy contact! Repeat, Enemy contact!”

While I wait for a response, I notice an enemy on the ground.
The one I shot earlier. One down, two to go.

“What?” the admiral sounds incredulous, I understand. Enemies on world, right under our noses.

“This is lieutenant Lawton, reporting potential saboteur aboard refuge flight 2.”

The dust is dying down now, I can see an outline of a group of people fighting. Then a flash of blue lightning from within the melee, I run towards it flat out.

“Lieutenant Lawton, responding to ground threat. Over and out.”

The threat on the ship is now in the admirals hands. Two down, one to go.

My armor tells me structural integrity is back up to 82%, hope that’s good enough.
