Crash

The Laat landed on geonosian ground belly first.

The Laat bounced on the ground like a rock thrown on a lake. One unlucky trooper flew out the hole on the side, and hit the ground at a speed of more than four hundred kilometers. CT-4063 didn't want to know what happend to him.

Finally they stopped. CT-4063 only felt a slight pain on his left ribs, besides this he was fine. Many of his brothers weren't so lucky. He could hear many painful moans. If not for the hole on the side, wich let a little light in the Laat would be totally dark.

He tried standing up and hit his head hard on what looked like a box of supplies that was hanging over. Since he knew those boxes were supposed to be locked on the side of the ship, he thought they were most probably leaning on the side.

There was some movement on the other end of the gunship, and a voice he recognized as his squad leader called.

"Who is able to walk?!"

CT-4063 answered prontly.

"CT-4063 reporting sir! I am!"

"Good, I need you to go check the pilots and take a look outside. See if there is any immediate danger. The rest of you check who is still alive, take the injured and get ready to go as soon as CT-4063 gives the clear signal."

Making his way over the bodies of dead and injured clones, CT-4063 arrieved at the cockpit. He first checked the pilots - one was still alive - and then looked over the shattered window.

There were no droids in sight, but about 3 clicks west he saw what he identified as a destroyed AT-TE.

Putting the injured pilot arm over his shoulders he made his way back to the cargo compartment. There were five or so troopers up and another seven leaning on the walls. CT-4099, the squad leader was giving orders. CT-4063 dropped the pilot with another clone and walked over to him.

"Sir, no droids in a five clicks radius, but three clicks west there is a burning AT-TE. It's too far away to see if there are any clones."

"Good job. Alrigth, we need to go now. Those who can walk help the injureds and lets go."

CT-4063 picked up his DC-15A and crawled through the hole, that was half buried in the soil. Putting his weapon out first, he waited a few seconds. Although he had not seen any droid, the planet was under their rule, at least for now. He wouldn't joke with his life or his brothers lives.
