ITOD Home > RID Tour 3 (Retro Tour) > RID 306: Fred

Hectic would be the first word used by LCM Jay Forerunner to describe his life. Even with the month off from his studies, he had to juggle and leap through a rat-race of technical problems with his personal computer, researching his heritage in The Old Republic as well as even older lands, keeping up with his weekly production, and finally he still has his dues to Rebel Squadrons!

With the "last minute" looming over his head, he took a look at the batch of missions and, realizing time was still worth gold even without school, chose what he thought would be the quickest to complete: RID 306. He looked at the name, then smirked quizzically, "Fred?"

The mission starts, and first thing he notices are three small patrol vehicles torn to shreds by two Acclamators and all their fighters. The Commander grunted at the inevitable loss of at least one of those, but he sent in his forces as swiftly as they could travel. Finally, his main fleet intercepted theirs and the battle began, focusing all his firepower on a single target then repeating, until the Y-Wings and collective lasers of everything else overwhelmed the two ships.

At first, everything seemed to be mopped up, when there was still no victory chime. He sent his fighters to patrol and search, when actually, the last remnants came to him, when his A-Wings were off looking for them. Nevertheless, the last few fighters were cleaned up and victory locked.

He got out and noticed the due date for the missions. "Wow," he remarked to himself, "I could've sworn it was sooner than that." With a burden lifted, he went to spend the rest of his time as wisely as possible, hurrying to work on the next couple missions, those that would require more intensity out of him...
