[Solved] [Terrifying Tales LTC] The Last Patrol Leaves

It had been four nights since the last patrol came in. The seventh patrol missing in action. Slowly the garrison had been depleted, with each patrol going out to find the last. There had been rumours from even before the Rebellion attacked of small, flesh-eating creatures inhabiting the forest, but Imperial superiors brushed aside these claims as hysteria.

Nothing had been heard from nearby Research Station 9, and no transmissions had been received after the destruction of the shield generator. The only contact had been a group of Imperials who passed by on their way to an uplink station to request evacuation. Other than that, it had been eerily silent.

Wearily, the captain gathered the men who remained. A total of ten men were ordered to suit up and take their E-11s. Each passed along some old torchlights.

With a mixture of trepidation and relief of leaving the bunker, the group departed.
As they had stepped out the blast doors, an overwhelming feeling struck them in their stomachs, something was watching them in the darkness.
Each step, more unsettling thoughts filled their minds. They weren't going to leave this forest.
