Part 8 - Obj 2
Jax Thio
and Madison Starr mount a train to disable an Anti-Aircraft Cannon and coordinate their withdrawal with the Fleet.
"Roger! Up we go!"Madison withdrew her comm as she jumped to follow Jax through the hatch. Then she comm'd the Fleet for assistance.
"Captain. This is Jedi Starr. You still there?"
~ "Roger Jedi. We hear you." ~
"Patch me through to Thunderhead. We're almost ready for a combat extraction."
~ "I'm connecting you to a Handler onboard the Emerald Undertow now. They'll coordinate for you. Bellaguise out." ~
"Roger. Thanks Bellaguise."
Madison followed Jax as they approached the AA gun. They used Force enhanced speed to cover great distances quickly, find cover, and to avoid enemy fire. It made making a quick phone call all the more difficult.
~ "Padawan Starr. This is Lieutenant Bren with Silver Command. What can I do for you?" ~
"Bren. This is Starr. Sorry about the connection. Kinda in the middle of something right now."

She fired off a few more shots as she took the call.
"...Anyway. I've got Jedi and civilians down here at the East Coupling Station ready for extraction. What can you get me?"
~ "Padawan Starr. What is your position?" ~
"East Coupling Station. Edge of the city. By the giant chains."
~ "Roger Padawan Starr. How many people are for pick up?" ~
"About a hundred. Probably."
~ "Roger Padawan Starr. I'm passing your request along to Command now. We'll coordinate and get back to you. Was there anything else?" ~
"Nope!"

~ "Roger Padawan. And I can now confirm. The Fleet has received and acknowledged your request. Shuttle and fighter support will be inbound to your location within minutes. I repeat. Shuttle and fighter support will be inbound to your location within minutes." ~
"Great! Thanks!"
~ "Roger Padawan. Command out." ~
Madison hung up her phone and smiled. Guess their ride was on the way. Yes!
"Jax! Our ride is incoming! Five minutes out!"

She continued to engage the enemy even as she shouted.
"Let's hit that AA gun and be done with this! Yeah!"
The weapon had just come into sight. Now all Jax had to do was just smash it and they could go home. Thunderhead and the Fleet would handle the beachheading of the zone later.
