Mark Finger looked up through the trees of the forest and high into the gray sky above. He saw more trooper ships descending from a Deveron Battle cruiser high in the stratosphere. Quickly he bent over and grabbed the weapon of a dead Deveron soldier he had just killed. After looking over the new weapon and seeing it was better then the one he had Mark dropped his old one. He pulled the weapons shoulder strap up over his head so he wouldn't loose as he bent down over the body. He inspected it over well to see what else he could scavage. He tried to pull off the dead soldiers nice new jacket hoping to replace the tattered remains of his own republic uniform. He was quickly disappointed and stopped once he saw a wide burnt hole which must have been made when killing the trooper. He knew it wouldn't be very warm to wear something with a hole that big in it. More later... © Lee Crystal's Outpost 13 All rights reserved
