[OPERATION: ANTIQUITY] Week 3: Do or Die, There is No Try

You and your partner/team have surveyed the planet, located the artifact, entered the underground facility and retrieved the artifact. All a little too easily. As you are making your way back towards the surface for extraction the situation changes. Suddenly the old defense systems come online, droids in all states of disrepair come alive throughout the facility and several droids begin closing in. You will be swarmed in a matter of minutes if you don’t act fast!

In a minimum of 500 words tell your tale of daring escape from the underground facility. Utilizing members of both clans is not only acceptable but encouraged.

Grading for this competition will be completed by both judges, based on the Voice Rubric and adherence to the prompt.

The ground shook under Hilgrif who was in a storage room in the middle of working on extracting the memory of a broken B2 Battle droid . He quickly used his comlink.

“Shroud what’s going on?” the reply came quickly

“Sir I am detecting the base becoming active i wou.. Sug…. ….ing ..t of th... ”

static replaced the voice of Shroud. Hilgrif tried his com again

“Shroud reapet last message “ the reply came back very garbled in static.

“.ir . a. ...tect… .he .ase ..com… acti.. I ……” Hilgrif shook his head. He knew the base’s defense must have become active again and double checked to see if his ion blaster pistol was ready when he received a message from the command line

“A.. t..ms, ..port .n. ...t’s g...g o. .n t...e”

The message was still full of static. Hilgrif checked the room to make sure there was nothing that seem to dangers active in the room. Hilgrif soon after seeing the storage room was still safe, did a quick job on removing the memory of the B2 battle droid then went to the storage room door. He reached out with the Force to see the other side of the door only to be met with nothing. As he moved through the doorway,the Knight kept his ion blaster pistol ready to shoot on anything that moved. Hilgrif carefully walked past the other doors through the hallway then at the end of the hallway. His eyes laid upon a door that lead into the great hall that was near the exit. Hilgrif use the Force through the door and felt what look like the remains of a battle hilgrif and felt a few people. Their presence in the Force gave the Verpine the impression that they were the people he had requested from Plagues and Naga Sadow. Hilgrif tried the comlink so they would not shoot when the door open but the comlink was still full of static Hilgrif then thought for a sec then recall who he felt with the force use telepathy to contact one of the plaques that he had worked with a short time ago “Khryso Mallus do not fight my telepathic message. I will be coming in the room from the 3rd door on the right side please inform our fellow members to not shoot me.“ Hilgrif then hoped the chiss spread the message then open the door. No one shoot at hilgrif as he walk out Hilgrif saw the remains of many battle droids. He then gave a quick greeting to Kyryso Mallus and the other allies then went to the exit of the great hall so he could leave the dark sith temple with the droids memory in his bag.

Hilgrif then reach for his com “Shroud prepare the ship when i get there i would like to head back to my workshop to work on these memory chips also send in a salvage team to collect some droids for the hive and the clan”
