Neutralize the patrol

After considering both option tactically, OOM-947 determined that neutralizing the patrol now, if done carefully and without error, would be beneficial towards the objective.

"Silently surround the clones and await my signal to engage" OOM-947 ordered in a low voice.

"Roger, roger" came the reply from the closest droid with the same low voice.

After 2 minutes of droids moving into position and the 2 clones continuing to engage in intimate activities, OOM lined up its blaster with the third clone and let off a shot, which caused the other droids surrounding the clones to fire their weapons at the 2 remaining targets. After a short stream of shots from a multitude of directions, all 3 clones were swiftly stunned by the droids.

Satisfied with the outcome, OOM ordered the remaining droids and MST's to advance to their positon and ordered the clones searched after they were restrained with stun cuffs, along with the BARC's. After the clones were searched and all their equipment, save for the third's armor, removed, the droid commander sent the STAP scouts ahead once more to ensure no other patrols were in their path remaining with the clones until the transports arrived.

Having captured a clone patrol, OOM has the opportunity to begin interrogating the prisoners for Intel for the mission. However, this could backfire on them as the enemy could be given more time to prepare for an ****. On the other hand, simply ordering a squad to remain with the prisoners while the **** would continue towards their target and would arrive sooner, but would be unprepared for what they would come across.
