Don straightened again, walking to the relative middle of the camp and restocking on energy cells. They had plenty of ammunition, good. A quick status check from one of the engineers reassured his thoughts: they were relatively low on any early warning systems or area denial weapons, which included mines, flares, and the like. It wasn't going to be good in the long run. The only thing the Sergeant could hope for was that they could last through the night, and maybe be able to get a resupply from another shuttle, whenever that thing was going to come.
Bruce was talking about how he though the Republic couldn't possibly abandon a base of operations like this. Don knew better, he'd seen and done it firsthand. Unlike what the propaganda suggested, they had a tendency to lose. A lot. Especially with all the politics getting caught up in the matter, and a lack of hard-ass generals who weren't willing to send people into meat grinders.
"Trust me, buddy, they do it all the time. And I could guess so, seeing as they have more important matters to attend to. Like operating a formal ball in an attempt to actually get funds for the Judiciaries. The Republic should just give up at this point, cause we're earning more credits on our own than with their tiny donations. I'll make sure to set up some more mines, if we have any left. Otherwise, we just gotta hope the bad guys forget about our traps."
