Two days later The Sincerity landed on a platform next to Tipoca City, on Kamino. As always, it was raining, the only weather that the planet had. Dark green water made up for the entire planet, except it's core, which was dozens of thousands meters deep.

The access ramp on the back of The Sincerity got down, and the 303rd Attack Legion started to march out neatly. After all the soldiers got out, it was the AT-TEs and AT-XTs turn.

They were directed by the Kamino Security Team, a specialized legion, to their quarters. Not even the rain could make Hell Squad feel down. No matter how disappointed they were for being taken out of the frontlines, returning to their home planet was still an amazing sensation.

Dageer was approached by one of the Kamino troopers, recognizable by his grey shoulder armor.

"Hell Squad?"

"That is us."

"Follow me. You were allocated somewhere else."

Hell Squad left formation, and under the clone lead went to a separate platform. The clone explained that this platform was reserved to special units, such as Hell Squad. After they arrived at the door, the Kamino trooper took of his helmet and looked at them expectantly.

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, but how is the battlefield like?"

Dageer could understand why the clone would ask that. The Kamino Security Team received some of the best training of the clone army, but unless Kamino was attacked they would never use it.

"It is at the same time horrible and impressive. However, no clone who ever fought would wish that for a brother."

The clone looked like he wanted to ask something else, but in the end he didn't, and just saluted Hell Squad before he left. Tech watched as he left.

"Well sir, you did a good job scaring this one."

Brain intervened.

"That is good. If he ever have to fight then he might survive more than the others."

Three-four gave Brain a light punch.

"Enough of this guys. We just got back home and you are alredy talking about those gloomy things."

Ignoring his bickering squad, Dageer entered their facilities. It was a long hall, with doors on both sides, most of them unmarked. Only two had something written in the panels, the first one being 'Hell Squad' and the second 'Deep Squad'.

As Hell Squad was moving in, the door of Deep Squad room opened, and a clone wearing blue clothes - not armor - walked out. He seemed surprised, but then stuck his head inside the room from which he came and said something.

After doing that he extended his hand, and shook it with everyone of Hell Squad before introducing himself.

"Hello brothers. Shokk, Deep Squad."

"I am Dageer, Hell Squad leader. Those are Brain, Tech, Three-four, Cell, Dab and Metal."

More clones wearing the same blue clothes walked out, a total of ten. One of them, who had long hair - unusual in clones - walked forward.

"Welcome home Hell Squad. My name is Broodi, and I am the leader of Deep Squad."

"Always good to meet a brother. Which legion are you under?"

"We serve General Shaak Ti, here on Kamino. That doesn't mean, though, that we don't know how to fight."

Dageer easily detected the need for recognition on Broodi voice. Maybe because they haven't actually gone to battles, but they seemed afraid that the other clones would think they were cowards. Dageer suspected that every clone of the Kamino Security Team felt the same.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Deep Squad, but now we have to organize ourselves. It won't be long before we receive our tasks."

"If you need help or maybe a guide, feel free to ask."

As Hell Squad members organized their few possessions, weapons and armor, Dageer went outside.

The Sincerity was refuelling and preparing to go to orbit, where it would stay until they were called to battle again. Dageer checked on Hell Squad, and seeing that some of them had alredy drifted into sleep, he decided to go to the mess alone.
