Chapter 19 - Surprise

Delta Squad entered the factory under the lead of Boss. Behind them was Hell Squad.

The detonator that Scorch throwed have destroyed almost all the droids. The few who ere left were dealt quickly.

The factory corridors were almost entirely dark. The only light was from holes in the ceiling and walls. The walls had many carved entrances on them, that Dageer deduced were the geonosians sleeping place.

They kept walking until Boss ordered stop. He pointed at a hole on the floor.

"We are going down here. The jedi prisioners should be at one of the dungeons. Hell Squad, if our information is right the shield generator should be somewhere in front. Good luck."

"Good luck to you too."

Delta Squad members descended on the hole one by one. Now the only thing Hell Squad could do for them was wish good luck and take down the shield.

Hell Squad moved on. The corridors were all the same, splitting left, right, up and down. Thanks to the map Delta Squad got who knows where, they didn't get lost. However, something was wrong, and the others new that. CT-3444 was the first to speak.

"There is something wrong sir. There were hundreds of bugs out there, but since we got inside we haven't seen either them or the droids, beside those on the gate."

"I know Three-four. But there is no coming back now. Everyone open your eyes and stay sharp."

They walked for ten more minutes, but still there was no sign of any enemy. Cell, who was walking at the front, called.

"Sir, look at this. The shield generator room was supposed to be here, but instead there is a door. A metal door."

A metal door on a geonosian nest was weird to say the least. Dageer sent CT-2798, who they have started calling Tech as he was good with mechanics.

"Tech, see if you can open that door. Everyone else, prepare for battle. We don't know what is behind this."

There was nothing deadly behind the door, just corridors, this time modern ones, much like the ones on spacesh.i.p.s. Hell Squad looked at each other. The first to break the silence was Brain.

"Sir, is this what I think it is?"

"Brain, contact General Windu. He needs to know what is in here."

However, Brain wasn't able to make the call. All they could hear by the communicator was static.

"They are jamming our communications sir. Do you think they know we are here?"

"I don't think so. Most probably they are doing that just in case that someone - like us - gets here. But that mean we will have to sent someone back. Dab and Three-four, you go back. Tell General Windu about this. The rest of Hell Squad come with me. We still have to destroy the shield generator."

"Yes sir."

Dab and Three-four turned and went back the way they have come. Dageer, Brain, Tech and Cell started making their way on the new corridor. There were many doors on the side, leading to rooms or more corridors. They stopped by a panel on the wall.

"Tech, see if you can get us the path to the shield generator room. I don't want to run aimless here. Who knows how many droids there are here."

Dageer words soon proved right, as the sound of metallic feet marching echoed.

"Silence. Cell, give me one of those droid poppers. You take another one. We have to take them quietly, otherwise a whole army will be onto us."

Dageer and Cell made their way to the turn the corridor made. The sound of the droid patrol got closer. Dageer counted to three on his fingers and throwed the Electromagnetic Pulse Grenade - EMP - on the middle of the unsuspecting droids. Cell did the same.

"Woah. What is thissss... Ouhhhg."
