On seeing the new arrivals Kvetch stopped chasing. He throws himself flat and starts shooting. A couple of other toads join in and they are forced to seek cover. The stormtoad with the particle beam is climbing one of the now empty guard towers. Jus' gotta keep 'em pinned for a bit...
The beam of purple energy hits the guard position. Four simply disappear, and the rest are knocked flying. It'll take a mo' ta fire again, Kvetch realises. Gunna hav ta git in before that. He leaps to his feet and runs at the guards, firing as he goes. The rest of the squad follows after him.

Although heavily armed, the back-planet mercenaries, who were not hired for their marksmanship skills, are quickly brought down by the better-trained Stormtoads. MacGruder and the few surviving guards quickly realize they're fighting a losing battle, and thrown down their weapons and surrender. It's off to the slave camps for them, where they'll experience what their slaves did. MacGruder is bitterly aware of the irony.

"That it?"
Kvetch watches as his men pick up the weapons from the surrendered guards. As usual after a fight he feels... empty. Unfulfilled. He kicks a body near his feet, and briefly considers simply killing the former guards. Nah. The Major's moody enough as it is.
"Two of you, go let awt the toad slaves an' giv 'em guns. I'll call in tha ship."
Kvetch communicates to the slave ship, which begins flying in from their temporary base to the north. Load up the slaves, then a quick hop back to Penkoon. Hopefully with this extra load they wouldn't be too much behind.
