"Irni, what's your status?"
"All clear Boss. Nothing in my scope so far."
"Very well, maintain your vigil."
"Copy, over and out."
Inside a makeshift tent Minerva sighed while on her helmet's commlink. She looked to a holographic table with several of her troops all around. Those not issuing or receiving calls were charting the map and stragezing together. So far they hadn't located any major undead infestation and most locals were too terrified to even come out of their homes.
The latter was a mixed bag. On one hand the less bystanders outside the better chances of them not getting into the crossfire but on the other they're not being forthcoming with information that can help. The Mandalorian commando had to resist the urge to groan. Inside her helm she frowned at the map. Placing her right hand on the edge she next called.
"Gakot."
"Here Boss." Growled a Klantoonian voice on the other end of comms.
"Have your patrols found anything?"
The answer back was immediate.
"Hon's Squad located and eliminated a pair of zombies at a used speeders' lot fourteen miles south from your post. He distracted the abominations before his team blasted them into pieces. They're burning what's left as we speak but nothing else so far."
Minerva nodded and said.
"Okay continue the search pattern but don't take any chances, keep the squads together and each be within reach of one another. No one separates. Remember intel suggests we got holdouts including possible Sith. Your squads are to alert the Jedi if they find any hint of the latter in their area."
"Will do Captain."
The end and Minerva then glanced back to the holo table showing her scattered company divided into squads symbolizing as dots patrolling the streets and in the skies via jetpacks or gunships in their sector. Next to her another woman, an Atrisian wearing a mixture of military attire and hacker gear, cleared her throat.
Turning her T-Visor to the soldier she asked.
"You got something Sumi?"
The younger commando beamed with a proud smirk. She pointed to the south east corner of the map at what appeared to be a warehouse district.
"Hanzo picked up chatter from there. The sleemos are held up in the central warehouse. They're arguing amongst themselves."
"Any of them Sith?"
Sumi shook her head.
"No they're just troopers, eight of them to be exact and with no contact with anyone else. They're isolated and frustrated. Hanzo is keeping watch over them."
“Civilians in the area?”
"Nothing but a few womp rats fighting over trash yards away."
Inside her helm Minerva grinned from ear to ear.
"Call Sergeant Tun and Seeti. Direct their squads to that warehouse. Seeti is to cut off routes from there and keep watch while Tun's squad neutralizes those Sith loving scum."
Answering with a new nod, Sumi made the call. Several minutes later she declared while at her monitor.
"Hostiles eliminated. One is wounded and taken prisoner. No casualties on our side."
"Good. Give my regards to both Seeti and Tun. Get a gunship over to them with their prisoner and transfer them out of there."
Sumi did that and another two minutes later she announced.
"They're on their way here."
Minerva allowed herself another smile inside the helm before it faded. The night was just beginning and when Sith and their monsters were involved, nothing was easy.
