Episodes
add »The Roughnecks are about to be dropped on Klendathu into a hot LZ. Lt Razak tells Carmen to clear the LZ as he thinks it's too dangerous for the squad to land. Carman tells him INTEL in the form of Lt Walker ordered no weapons to be used, stealth drop only. Lt Razak overrides her and the LZ is cleared by bombs. As soon as Lt Walker finds out he tells Lt Razak that 6 squads were in that area under General Redwing but they'd lost radio contact. Lt Razak asks why he wasn't told and Walker tells him it was a covert op. on a need to know basis - and Razak didn't need to know. Back at the base Lt Razak faces a court of inquiry with Walker as prosecutor. Lt Walker charges Razak with endangering the squad and wrecking S.I.C.O.N. equipment needlessly, using troopers evidence and flash backs as proof. As the hearing goes on a swarm of bugs attacks the base prompting Lt Walker to exclaim there was a traitor in their midst feeding information to the Bugs and he points at LT Razak. One of the three Generals immediately calls for Razak to be destroyed. As soon as this happens Razak hits him with a stun charge. Whilst the court is in shock a Mind Control Bug escapes from the Generals power suit. Razak grabs a chair and kills it. Immediately the screen clears and General Redwing appears telling Lt Razak the trap for the bugs is ready and that they have no back door to escape from. Lt Walker looks at Razak and asks what was happening. Razak replies "covert operation to find the traitor. need to know basis and YOU didn't need to know". The bug assualt party is totally destroyed.
