Chapter 19 - Infiltrating the Base

Iseul then looked up at Finn with pure malice on his face.

"What is it?"

"You heard Connix. You know exactly what's wrong."

"C'mon Anka, we don't have time for this. Not now."

"I think we do. It's pretty funny how the First Order just magically found our base around the same time you joined us, don't you think?" Iseul asked rhetorically. "Didn't I warn you all about what could happen if we just let a 'deserter' join our ranks?" The duros captain stood up now, speaking to everyone.

Looking around, Finn saw people begin to nod.

"Iseul—"

"Respect the chain of command. It's Captain Anka to you."

"I don't give a damn about the chain of command!" Finn shouted. "Ever since I joined, you've done nothing but treat me like trash! You think I would've saved your BB unit no questions asked if I was a spy? You think I would've saved Dameron if I was a spy? Do you think I would've given you the location of Starkiller if I was on their side?! Don't you dare accuse me of trying to get the Sentinels killed!" Finn shouted, now pointed a finger at Anka.

"Didn't I tell you?! I've dealt with many wannabe defectors just like you and killed them all!" Anka said, getting up from his seat and getting in Finn's face. "Give me a good reason why I shouldn't add you to the list. . !" Iseul threatened.

Finn felt his anger boil over. Instead of simply walking back to the Falcon, he instead shoved Anka making him stagger into the table he sat at. Anka quickly got back up and tried to throw a punch, only for Finn to dodge, and quickly activate his lightsaber, making Iseul stepped back. Finn however, gripped the lightsaber tightly.

"That's enough!" One female soldier shouted.

A group of soldiers got in between the two. Finn then deactivated the saber and put it back on his belt. No one said a word as all eyes were on Finn.

He didn't look at anyone else except Anka, before turning and heading back to the Falcon. The adrenaline running through him nullified the cold air.

After explaining what had happened on the Nokra cruiser and taking a moment to cool down, it was time to infiltrate Starkiller Base. Han had donned a white-colored coat with a scarf underneath. With that, Finn, Han, and Chewbacca, exited the ship. By now the storm had let up a bit, making visibility a bit better. The three saw the Sentinel soldiers waiting for them and approached.

"Are your people all set?" Han asked Captain Anka.

"More than ever. If we're going to do this, we need to do it now; time isn't on our side." Anka responded.

Just as he was ordered to do, Finn pulled out the life scanner and turned it on, pointing it in the relative location of Starkiller Base. The device emitted a soft set of spaced-out beeps. On its display there were two sets of white dots on the device's black screen. However, how the unit would get inside the base was completely up to him now.

"We're going east. They'll expect us to go through the entry point Hafera used."

Without another word, Finn began leading the group through the forest into a clearing. Everyone made sure to stay close to each other. Besides the sound of heavy wind and boot's crunching in the snow, no one said a word.

After miles of walking later, the group stopped on the edge of a plateau where a spire-like antenna stood. Below their high vantage point, was the entry point Finn knew the First Order would least suspect anyone to enter from. From their vantage point, they were observing one of the many entrances to the base's cisterns.
