Prologue
Clone trooper Tup lost his senses in the middle of battle and killed a Jedi General. A medical check up is immediately ordered and along with Tup goes ARC trooper Fives. Fives came through many battles to reach his position. Also goes Rex and other troopers.
On reaching Tipoca City, Rex has to leave for battle but Fives has to stay on belief that a virus caused Tup's outbreak and that Fives may also have it. Fives is isolated as is Tup. There Fives meets medical droid AZ-3
Tup's results come back negative for a virus, leading to much confusion. Suddenly, Tup awakes and blabbers about killing Jedi, making Shaak Ti wonder if this is a Separatist brainwashing plot. Nala Se, a Kaminoan and Shaak Ti debate on Tup's . Shaak Ti, wanting an atomic brain scan on Tup, goes to contact the Jedi Council, while Nala Se, wanting to terminate the clone and do an autopsy and heads to Prime Minister Lama Su.
Meanwhile, AZ-3 returns to Fives' quarters, where he and the clone have an argument about whether clones should be known by their names or numbers.
Nala Se meets with Lama Su, where they talk about the real truth of Tup's condition: a premature activation of Protocol 66. After contacting Count Dooku, the pair is given an order to terminate Tup for a full-body autopsy, whilst handing over the Tup's inhibitor chip to Dooku.
After being convinced by Fives about how his duty of saving a patient's life overrides all orders, AZ-3 proceeds to do an atomic-level brain scan on Tup, whereby they discovered a tumor (which is in fact, his inhibitor chip). Nala Se walks onto AZ-3, and denounces the existence of a tumour and instead states it to be a virus. Back in Fives' medical room, he decries the plans for Tup's termination and convinces AZ-3 to do a biopsy. After setting a false intruder alarm, AZ-3 extracts the tumour from Tup's brain only to have Nala Se and Shaak Ti walk on them. In a conference with Chancellor Palpatine, Shaak Ti proposes that the tumour be sent back to the Jedi Temple for analysis. The Chancellor on the other hand, suggests it should be sent to the state-of-the-art Grand Republic Medical Facility. With Nala Se backing the Chancellor's decision, Shaak Ti has no choice but to agree.
