The two remaining soldiers on the opposing Blue team conducted a tight fire and move sequence, gaining significant ground towards Senjen’s beleaguered opponents. The droid on the left was hit again, rendering it unable to support its teammate who found themselves quickly pinned.

Reaching the other side of the tall piece of cover, the blue team operator duked left but appeared right, putting an energy bolt straight through their opposite number’s head. They clattered to the ground, rifle falling from their limp hands.

The leading droid on the blue team directed its deputy to finish the damaged ally off while they themselves moved to take up cover overlooking the side rooms.
