The sounds of combat in an alley way below me caused me some hesitation before I jetpacked across the gap as I glanced down. A squad of Republic troopers was in desperate retreat from a pair of Mandalorians with energy shields before them followed by another squad of Mandalorians who took shots from behind the shields. This was the first time I'd seen the Mandalorian Guardians in action and if I was honest, as I jetted over the one sided fight, they were somewhat terrifying. They were able to create mobile cover that only doubled their protection alongside their armor, and the other Mandalorians could move and fire from behind them without fear of actual retaliation, which made them the single deadliest urban fighting force you'd ever meet.

"The Mando'ade have been busy..." Of course, as I jetted from roof to roof to reduce my odds of being targeted, taking out the odd Republic Sniper as I went, my mind was preoccupied with what I was doing out here. Stoneheart was likely already in the Presidential Palace and the pair were already fighting given the armored man's penchant for getting straight to the point, which likely involved putting the point of his lightsaber in you at some point. Jumping across to three different roofs, the palace came into sight and I grimaced. The easy part was coming to an end, because once I got close, I'd have to fly the remaining distance to it.
