OBJECTIVE: Coordinating efforts
The dispatch component of the marines flooded through the hallways, moving with a certain modicum of stealth and tact. Given the coordinates of the landed platoon of six, unknowingly commanded by [member="Saul Kruger"], the six Galactic Alliance soldiers moved in to the indicated blastport and took up defenses positions just at the entrance.
::First Order Soldiers, you're surrounded. Lay down your arms and surrender and no bloodshed will come your way!::
They weren't sure it was First Order. But based on the fact that they hadn't announced themselves over communications, the soldiers had no other conclusion to draw upon. If not given option, the men prepared to strike out with flashbangs and weapons blazing. But for now, they remained out of sight and hidden behind partial walls and deteriorating columns.

If not for the seriousness of the engagement, Relit would have chuckled at the passion of one particular [member="Audrey Saint George"]. He would confess that while he was not one for taking life, no matter the species, that the power of teamwork and success was indeed a persuasive tonic. And while his preference was life, he had long shed any desire to forgo it at the risk of others. The Galactic Alliance had taken that hesitation from him, long ago. Of course, the woman was doing her fair share with the other soldiers, though largely in suppression fire. Multiple Vong hid behind the warbeast, others laying dead in the in between, as they fired thud bugs from chitin carbines that were blindly fired around the large legs of the beast. Caught in the fire, insects exploded through out, slicking the surface and walking space with slippery goo that would pose, at the very least, walking hazards for the unknowing.
Plop. Plop plop.
He felt a ping as a certain individual arose from slumber, making their presence known. Whipping his head to the right, he looked up towards the computer.
"Computer, show me landing bay 17." He recalled the number, barely legible, painted in faded yellow on the wall. With energy sapped for the continuing supply of the tractor beam, the computer merely complied without enthusiastic response. The screen showed the little vaetling, moving forward cautiously in the low light. Relit's heart was warmed to see his little friend.
<<Vaet, my friend. Follow my aura. Just passed the McYodas. You will be here soon.>>
He checked over the screens that showed the way between here and there. No Vong that he could see and as it stood, he believed the First Order would soon remove the last remnants of what stood between them and historical investigation. But he was without true capabilities to prevent their departure, not without sacrificing the position.
Turning to the camera back at the landed FIV Discovery, it continued to struggle against the universe-renown tractor beams of the Squib. Panning the camera down, he watched as the remaining force of marines made their way into the facility.
::Commander. Keep your distance and be safe. We will run analysis on munitions. It is evidently a science vessel but I doubt she lacks teeth.::
::Roger that. We'll keep distance and await confirmation. If it starts breaking free of that beam, we will move forward.::
They moved forward and in similar fashion as their contingent, took up defensive positions to await word back from the Jedi Master. Who, as a matter of fact, was now sorting out the analytical process with his new friend, Squibby.
