Lilli Paige here. This has been one wild ride! Jojo, the camera guy who’s been with us this whole time? WELL, we got separated by patrols... and I seem to have sprained my ankle due to... less than brilliant footwear. But I digress. There are THREE floors missing off the Little Star medical building... of which I am currently IN and seriously hoping no more floors fall till I’ve got the energy to get myself out. The barrier has fallen with the device that was on the roof and... a terrifyingly large war droid that showed up moments before I was shoo’ed off. I am of the understanding that both self destructed after taking a beating... The group didn’t exactly stay to fill me in and I am in no shape to go chasing anyone down, so that is all I have to report. Maybe they’ll let us take a break... I hope Jojo is alright. These are some shots of the heroes who came to investigate the distress signal. Taking on a large droid patrol before making their way to the roof of the medical building where they then took out the giant war droid below... Which ended up being rigged to explode... Taking any hope of finding evidence on a source with it. Was it the droids or someone aiming to make them look bad? Only time may tell...
*There is static as the broadcast tries to make connection* "It’s bee... ...conne... at? ...Y’got it? We rolling? K. "Lilli Paige here! The sounds of gunfire has picked up over the night but it doesn’t sound as close as it was. If- if you’re able to get a view of the sky over Little Star, up… up there. *pause* "There ...appears to be some dog fighting taking place up there! Outside the barrier! See it! There! There’s shots bouncing off the barrier! *pause* "Are you getting this? *pause* "For anyone who can’t see, it looks like there’s things getting through weakened points in the barrier! It could be supplies! Look! That one’s a pod! Is there a rescue op- Jojo look! On the building! Do you see that?! It- is it a force-field? *pause* "Jojo, we have to get closer! C’mon!” *the transmission cuts off again* The group below was able to get a message out from the landing market. The large dark figure on the right was able to navigate the barrier with some careful piloting and brought supplies planet-side. The rest helped carry and defend the packages from attacking droids, all putting their lives at risk to help those stranded in what the people have taken to calling the 'static zone', due to most signals being reduced to static once inside.
*A poorly filmed holonet video is posted via courier to the GNN. There is no video save a single still image.* "This is Lilli Paige reporting for GNN on the planet Talus. I'm not sure you can see this behind me but the city is being overrun by droids. Get a shot of that over there... *pause* "The normally peaceful droid workforce appears to have taken up arms and turned on organics in the city. We still have no information as to what caused the attack, however this reporter has learned that the droids are not taking prisoners. Before we could set up this broadcast we witnessed several unarmed civilians disintegrated in the streets as they fled. *pause* "Get away from the window Jojo... *pause* "We’ve witnessed sporadic fighting however it appears that most the survivors have fortified the local market. Food has been rationed though with the planet's energy shield in place no freighters have been able to land and supplies promise to run thin soon. Questions remain about the motivations of the droids and who, if anyone is responsible *the sound of a crash and breaking glass, followed by several blaster rounds being fired in rapid succession.* "No! Out the back, go!" *the transmission cuts off* Below is an image of a group held up in an alley and some more battle trained folks that later helped a group from the market reach it.
