The 71st/Chapter Two

(WIP) The 71st

Chapter Two

TK-117 was sitting in his quarters once again. After a hard-fought battle on Tatooine, resting and relaxation was all he needed. He lay in his simple bed, covered in only a simple white sheet, looking at a datapad. There, he was checking news straight from the Core Worlds. A notification popped up, informing him of a news update. He tapped it. The headline read ''Emperor Palpatine to Desolve Imperial Senate after Long- Time Ineffectiveness. ''"Hm," said 117 to himself, "About time." Then, the comlink on his small desk beeped. 117 sat up, putting his datapad down. He was wearing a simple white shirt, and black pants. His short brown hair moved a little. He grabbed the comlink. "Hello?" asked 117. "Please report to the bridge immediately. Admiral Perox requests you, and the rest of your team's presence." The call was cut short then. 117 put the comlink down. He got his Scout Trooper armor and put it on, placing the helmet on his head last. He exited his quarters for the, what was it, 2nd or 3rd time? 117 couldn't remember. He strode out into the corridor.

"Admiral Perox," said General Hedan, "Shall we make the jump to lightspeed?" "I would prefer waiting until my Stormtrooper squad knows what the situation is." "Right, sir." General Hedan walked away, towards some computer console operators. The doorway to the bridge opened, about some 20 feet behind Perox. The Admiral turned around. It was TK-1225. "Reporting for duty straight away, Admiral." the trooper said as he walked towards Perox. Perox smiled thinly. "TK-1225," he said, "I wanted to congratulate you on your small-time victory against the Rebels." "Well, sir," said 1225, "I'd say it was anything but a small victory. You see, sir..." Perox stopped listening after that. He knew that 1225 would just talk about how great the Empire was or how great he was. That's what the loyal trooper was. ''A product of the system. ''That was Perox's only descriptor for him. As 1225 finished talking, the rest of the 71st Unit entered the bridge.
