[Planet's Surface]
Tr'Remi leaves Nerik and makes his way to Idran and the rest of the squad, who are currently under fire. The number of guards on the grounds seems to have miraculously doubled in just under an hour of assault. Remi decides to keep a low profile and hit what marks he can silently. A lone soldier in this situation might just as well paint a target on his back. He rolls behind a statue in the court yard and takes aim. An unaware guard is providing suppression fire on a rock formation in the emense garden that surrounds the court yard. Remi takes aim and removes the guard from service.
Three other guards are there and see their comrad's body hit the ground. Not expecting a second party, the three guards increase suppression fire on the rocks , while taking cover behind other large statues in the court yard. Unfortunately for them, Remi has a bead on all three of their backs from his position. He draws both of his disruptors pistols, one arm on each side of the statue and removes the two outer guards. The center, guard continues firing until he realizes that he is the only one left. He panics and starts running. Idran pops up from behind the rocks and calmly caps the frantic guard in the back of the head.
Remi>::making himself visible::Salute.
Idran>::happily::Remi.
Remi>Where is every one else?
Idran>They ran for cover in the garden before the shooting started.
I was covering them and got pinned behind those rocks.
Remi>Hmmm.::accepting the explanation as rational::Do you have any new
reconicence on the Regent's werebouts?
Idran>Negative.
Remi>Hmmm. Alright.::Begins running through the court yard away from Idran.
Idran>Where are you going?
Remi>Recon.
Accepting the Eriens behavior as characteristic, Idran shruggs it off and runs into the garden to search for the crew.

Tr'Elq wipes a bead of sweat of his brow as he looks back at the path that his squad has just taken. It appears that the enemy has not marked their departure, but he knows its only a matter of time util the pursuit will follow fast and furious. After another 20 seuren or so,tr'Kuro signals to them to stop where they are and sit down for a moment.
Tr'Kuro: I never liked running away from a battle and i hate it even more when I don't know where I'm going. We've put enough distance between us and pursuit to stop for a moment and get our bearings. Elq can you figure out where we are?
Tr'Elq: Aye, just need a second rehkkai. :::enters something into his ISD and squints at the blood red moon for a second. After a moment he hands the ISD to tr'Kuro::: Here you are rehkkai, it�s a rough estimate really, I can't do any better without my toys.
Tr'Kuro : well this shall suffice ::looks at the ISD for a moment:: We're a little off from the rendenzvous point with the other squad. Looks like we're gonna have to go through some population to get where we're going.
With that he takes off at a mad dash leading the marines toward the meeting spot, though before they get there they are compelled to exterminate some oafish soldiers that make little more than a pretense of holding against them.

Tasrek hoped there wouldn't be too much resistence here. He had never had the unpleasant task of sending communique' to families of a death, but even that would pale against actually losing one of his new kinsmen.
Tasrek> ::ducks under the edge of a monolith style statue::
He really had wished he was back at his parents home eating a bowl of gletten. He would curl up with a good book and put his feet on the end table.
Tasrek> ::ducks disruptor fire and returns it:: or maybe on Risa...yes the pleasure planet.gambling and drinking. Trilista......Trilista. He hadn't made it there on his way to ch'Havran as he had imagined he might, but that wasn't quite his fault.
Tasrek> ::running to catch up with the others in his platoon:: ....Or anywhere else where disruptors weren't pointed at him, but then there would be no change.
Tasrek> ::startled by an opposing soldier::
Soldier>::moves at him with his kaleh::
Tasrek> Ie! ::placing a firm grab to the soldiers arm, he
twist it, and kicks him in the knee::
Soldier>::falls, screaming::
Tasrek>::satisfied with the snap of bones and give of soft
tissue he lunges for his throat and silences him once and
for all::
Glancing down as he attempts to once again catch up with his
friends.
Tasrek> Great Bird, forgive me. I move to better my peoples
lot.
