"Berro, try to contact Commander Keeli. You will have to take a comlink from one of our brothers."
"What do I tell him sir?"
"Tell him to move all of our forces back."
"Sir?! But then the faciliti..."
"He will have to trust me, as you will have to."
Dageer left the cover that the elevator was providing and ran to a group of crates while firing. After he got there he searched the bodies of clones and droids for thermal detonators and was rewarded with a bunch of them.
Then Dageer triggered all of them and threw it without care, sending droids flying left and right. That gave them a small window on which Berro found a comlink on a dead clone and contacted command.
"Commander Keeli! This is Berro, CT-0457. I and Dageer were thrown out the platform, but we are back!"
"Berro! Good to hear from you. Where are you? Was that explosion your doing?"
"Yes! We are behind the clanckers. There is no way we can make it back now. But Dageer has a plan."
"What is it?"
"He wants you to retreat our troops to I side the buildings. I don't know anything apart from that. He said you will have to trust him."
"What?! I want to talk to him. He is crazy!"
"Yes commander."
Berro turned to call Dageer, but the only thing he saw was Dageer's back, running towards the Gonzati-class cruisers and away from the clone defenses.
"Uhmm... commander, he is out of reach."
"What do you mean?"
-----------------------
Commander Keeli was talking to Berro in the middle of the fight, using his twin DC-17s to kill droids. When he heard that Dageer had run towards the enemy cruisers he almost froze.
He had a slight idea of what Dageer wanted to do, and on the small chance that Dageer wouldn't die while at it he had no option but retreat his troops as Dageer said.
He decided to wait a little more before calling the retreat, but for security and to speed up the process he ordered the backline of the clone army to build defenses near the entry of the facilities. Of course, he didn't forget to tell Hell Squad that their squad leader was alive.
---------------------------
Dageer ran towards the closer Gonzati-class cruiser with nothing but his stolen E-5 and a bunch of thermal detonators. Thankfully the only resistance he encountered were the groups guarding the elevators.
He had a crazy idea, and stupid one, but it was the only he had. With the droid invasion forces disembarked, the Gonzati-class cruisers were almost empty apart from the crew.
Dageer easily got into the ship after killing a few droids. Gonk droids and cleaning droids were the only sort of droid he found for a time. It was only at the command bridge that he saw some battle droids.
A group of B2 super battle droids and a dozen B1 battle droids were guarding the bridge. It was time for some grenade action.
Without giving the enemy a warning he blew them to pieces. B1 battle droids with blue painting but no weapons commanded the ship.
"Buzz... who are you? You don't have authorization to... Ahhhhhh!"
Dageer dropped his blaster on the floor and started fiddling with the buttons of the control panel.
He heard some movement behind him and instinctively dropped to the floor. However, no laser fire came. He got up and saw Berro looking at him with a grimace.
"Berro! You scared the hell out of me!"
"Says the one who left me behind and ran towards an enemy cruiser."
"Come on man, I knew you would find your way. Now help me, this cruiser is so small that with two of us we should be able to get it on the air."
"And why exactly do we want it on the air?"
------------------------
A clone came running to Commander Keeli.
"Sir, the enemy cruiser on the middle platform is taking off."
"He did it, that mad clone. Trooper, let's retreat. I want everyone inside the buildings before that cruiser is on the air."
"Yes sir."
"And order the anti-aircraft turrets not to fire. That cruiser is with us."
After the clone left Commander Keeli found Brain amongst the clones and pulled him aside.
"Brain, your squad leader is coming back on that cruiser. I need you to find and tell General Di why we retreated and that the Gonzati-class cruiser is on our side."
