“Gid’down!” I shouted and pulled Mor’rak, the new Skathári hire, behind a concrete barrier, just as a repulsor grenade cracked in a wave of force.
Suddenly, it was all a hail of blaster fire: Coalition troops had finally tracked us, and decided to take us in dead, rather than alive. I retorted with my standard carbine, blasting off a few of them as they peeked from cover.
I drew my repeater and slid it over to Mor’rak. Bolts of white-hot plasma whizzing overhead, he stared blankly at the blaster for a moment, one of his mandibles quivering a bit. I leaned carefully over to Mor’rak, took his hand, opened his palm, and placed the repeater in it. He politely placed the repeater exactly where it had been on the floor.
