Miles nodded in approval of his orders, and grabbed a handful of troopers and led them towards the aft of the ship. He came across light resistanec pockets at first, but the closer he got to the engines, the heavier the counter attacks became. They had stalled out in a control room about three floors above and 100 meters from the engines.
Set up a perimeter, three at the rear to provide flanking cover! Set up that E-Web to give us a choke-point down the East corridor. I want someone to get on these terminals and see if we can find some weak points in the ship.
Miles peaked out to loose some bolts at a few pirates attempting to maneuver closer to their position.
Incoming jet troops! Light weapons fire and large numbers headed our way!!
Alright boys, dig in! I want extra ammo packs at you feet for easy access. How are we doing on those terminals!! Pew Pew Pew
The jet troopers pushed further into the cross fire do to the mobility of their jet packs. What they didn't know, or could've anticipated was Miles was a trained Orbital Jump Trooper from his days in the Republic Commandos. Being such meant that he had his jump pack on at all times. Miles slipped his rifle over his back and drew his heavy slugthrower. Slid in AP rounds and peered out the door to locate targets. A handful of jet troopers were buzzing down the hall, Miles took this as his opening. Not expecting such a brazen counterattack, Miles caught them with their guns lowered as he fired his own jump pack up and flew at the group firing with marksmanship none of these pirates could ever hope to match. A pinpoint shot on the top of the first troopers' jet-pack disabled the steering mechanism and sent him crashing into the wall and taking out another pirate who failed to move in time. Blood smeared the ground where they collided. The next shot hit a grenade on the belt of another, creating a pair of screaming fireballs hurlling down the hall. As he neared, he reared back and slammed a gauntleted fist through the face of a jet trooper. Miles rolled back up to his feet as the last of the troopers surrounded him and went into melee range. He drew his combat knife and turned to a technique of martial arts known as Gun-kata, a type of martial arts that blends martial arts with CQC gun-wielding. As he moved, he was dodging shots, fists and blades in turn, he was returning but with far more success and lethality. He made short work of these 'troopers'. The real troopers, the Omega Troopers flooded out of the room and finished off the last pirates nearby. They made ready to move out.....
