Lieutenant Danthem Scipios had been poisoned. His eyes were slightly bloodshot and he seemed a slightly odd colour. He even walked slightly hunched over, taking measured breaths as he walked along the side of the main entrance road toward where it was he had supposed to have been for the past fourty or so hours now. He turned his head slightly and saw another speeder hurtle on past him while on it's way outbound toward wider Corellia, the polluting hiss of exhaust fumes didn't help his already weakened state as they interwove with the dust kicked up. The morning sun had come out a few hours ago and by now was very much adding to the compounding issues that he had come across. In the moment he cursed the one who had done this to him and spat out a globule of saliva that still perpetrated the mild taste of vomit on his tongue. He had of course been the one to bring all of this upon himself.
Deciding the remaining mile or so he would have to hike up toward the front gate of this continents auxiliary air base didn't particularly appeal to him in that moment the young pilot used his momentary wisdom, of which there was not particularly a lot, to settle at the side of the road and await a transport on it's way up.
Hucking his duffel up over one shoulder and digging his military identification from the pockets of flight jacket still smelling of smoke, spirits and a perfume he strode toward the edge of the road and held out his hand.
A cargo hauler was the first to actually stop for him and the driver seemed happy enough to let him on board, if not giggling slightly at the state of him. As it turned out he had been a navy maintainer during his younger years and so found the chance to banter a rather less than one hundred percent fighter pilot payment enough for the mile of transport.
At the front security gate Danthem passed over his identification and after a few strange looks from the sentry was allowed through with his driver. The base itself was extensive. Making full use of the good weather found on this part of the planet as well as the space provided to them the Alliance had nothing short of their own large town within the wire. The size of the base would not have been a huge issue for Danthem had the driver not been only going so far as the vehicle depot. On one hand he had gotten back on base but on the other he still needed to get back to his air wing and that was on the other side of the main landing zone.
Having thanked the driver and done a small recon of the area, Dan realised that his best bet was likely to acquire some kind of transport and nonchalantly make his way back to the squadron building. Hell he might even still catch the dinner service for those coming off of the night flights. There was a distinct problem however. That the cargo yard and the speeder parking were separated by a seven foot high wall. To go around it he would have to walk back out of the gate and look more than a little suspicious before trying to re-enter through an entirely different set of security forces. The wall it was then.
After some quick casing of the area to make sure that no one was watching him, Dan wiped the small layer of sweat from his forehead and fixed his hair before tossing his bag and jacket clean over the wall with a slight lack of grace. He waited for a few moments as he heard footsteps somewhere around him. With them seemingly not coming back after a minute or so he himself started to run towards the concrete wall, his aching muscles screaming at him before pushing up with one foot and using his other to spring himself up towards the top of the wall. He wrapped his arms over the top and hoisted himself headfirst over. He wheezed slightly at the exertion and the fact that his stomach had started to protest at the sudden movement before his feet lifted in to the air and twisted over before dropping him down onto the hard paved surface of the other side where he lost his balance and crumpled down onto the floor.
