Snow blanketed everything. I looked out the window from my shelter, resolved to my fate. I gathered my gear hastily, the reports did not come close to what I saw outside.
I hesitantly stepped beyond the shielding, the wind picked up and cut threw my thermals hitting the skin. I looked behind me, nodded and trudged on. In the distance I thought I saw something...perhaps it was a tauntaun or something but alas they could not survive in this weather. I turned again and the shelter was no longer there. All visibility gone.
Audio Communication was cut within minutes and I lost contact with the base. I had to get to the speeder and hopefully to communication outpost.
Lightsaber in one hand, shovel in the other, i found the jetta and began the tedium of digging the car out. There was roar! I barely had time to dive for cover as another speeder crashed into a snow bank. I rushed over but the pilot was already dead. I checked for supplies but there were none thats when I noticed....blaster scorch marks on the rear of the ship. It had been fired on. The ground shuddered beneath me making it hard to stand. I took out my macrobinoculars and scanned the frozen wasteland....THEY WERE HERE!!! Devastators!! Construction like vehicles that could destroy anything in their path, but what was even worse...FAR worse were the giant Quadrapedal Walkers following them. Their blasters were already blazing.
I dug even faster. I sensed something....With lightning reflexes I spun with my blade blazing and deflected a blaster bolt. Now it was a matter of life or death. On my comlink my friend and confidante D, called. He was too far gone to try to reach the rendezvous. The I dug out enough to start the engines on the speeder. It was luck and the will of the force but I cleared the embankment and sped away toward the Com station. All in front me, frozen wasteland...New fallen snow is so pretty. I reached the Comstation and got the sunday paper....
