The howling wind pulled at Tylan's tunic as he peer over the dunes, looking for movement like a hawk trying to find his prey. CIS convoys' usually passed over this area of sand at this time, but they had yet to shown up in the past four hours. Getting up from kneeling Tylan shoulders his gear and starts to prowl back to base camp. Three hours passed, and 12 miles with them, until he was spotted by an ARC trooper on patrol. Tylan had only noticed the trooped at about the time he saw the black rifle aiming at him. Tylan stops where he stood. "Destroy." he calls out.
"Fade." Claimed the ARC trooper as he stood up and lowered his rifle. "Want me to escort you back to camp commander?"
"No i will be able to make it back just fine, just remain at your post." He tells the ARC as he trudges past.
Twenty minutes pass until he see's the large cluster of supplies and soldiers covered by camouflage netting. Tylan stops as he looks at the troops in the camp, they were nervous, excited, and elated to be here. Spirits where running high among the soldiers. Some were sitting polishing weapons, others where just resting or going over the deployment and weaponry of the enemy. These were all the brave soldiers of Vanguard Company, they where made up of some of the most heroic, brave, and skillful men he has ever commanded. This was in part by their main leaders. The Captain Brunhald was a monster when he charged in his heavy armor, gunning down all before him. The Lieutenant's Keller and Hunter were the best when it came to CQC/CQB. These clones where the reason this unit was the best, my personal company, loyal and fierce.
Finished reflecting he starts walking toward the command tent. He shrugs off his sniper and excess gear next to his sleeping mat, but he kept his rifle. He pulls a crate to a large table that sat in the middle of a tent, papers and maps were all over it. He marks off that today the Trandoshian convoy failed to use this supply line today. The raid they where planning needed to be soon, they were starting to run a little thin on food and water for comfort. He planned for the raid to be within the next three days. Tonight he will go over the combat map with his NCO's to refine the battle strategy. He draws some sketches of possible deployment and spots for the Ordnance squad to place explosives.
Standing up Tylan makes his way toward the makeshift mess hall, it was a few tables with cooking utensils on them where they prepared food. When he got there he saw what they were serving boiled wheat that we stole from the trandoshians. Tasted like shit, there wheat grew in poor soil, it was weak and sour tasting when cooked. Grumbling as he got his ration he shuffled back to the command tent to obsessing over the maps.
