Droid fire team ambushed

    This series was documented by Satu who has been embedded with the droids and joins them occasionally on their patrols. They were on a routine scouting mission in the front room province of the house. Usually droids scout in five robot teams, but two of the team members had been posted in the kitchen province to set up a firing position in the liquor cabinet and coordinate with the other teams to raid the Dramboui position.
     "The front room province is relitively calm compared to the living room area and the kitchen province, which is why we were so surprised to make contact here." said one of the "bucket type" droids after the attack. "That cat came out of nowhere" said another, " all teeth and claws and the color of a shark! It was terrifying."
    The cat separated one of the droids and attacked him with a fierce "batting and raking" technique known to be typical of the feline resistance in the region. The other two members of the team rallied and attacked with weapons of opportunity while beeping in an airstrike from beneath their fork. Unfortunately, the X-wing QRF was unable to respond since they were on station in the kitchen area where the Drambouie raid was heating up. "We were all alone, just us and that, that THING!" they recalled after the fight.
    "I knew I had to make a break, or I could end up on the floor, under a chair, or worse!" said the droid who had been raked and batted, "so I just launched myself as far as I could over and over until I was off the edge of the towel." Once he was clear of the towel, the other two droids covered him until he got all three legs beneath him. The three of them launched a fierce counter attack that lasted for two, or maybe even two and a half minutes. "I think that's why we were victorious;" said the droid's leader, "cats just don't have the stamena to fight long battles like that." Droids typically train to fight longer battles, often fighting in close combat for up to 5 minutes. "That's why the astromechs are the best, and will always be in charge of the TV remote!" remarked one of the junior logistics droids. Well said FND, well said.
