Chapter 1 – The Upgrade
Disclaimer: I do not own star wars.
Previously on THE CONSPIRACY-Now facing Nebo with a face that clearly said , leave me alone, the doctor calmly said "WELL YOU AND SOME OF THE SOLDIERS THAT WERE DOWN ON CORUSANT WERE INJURED AND OR KILLED AND YOU ALL WERE BROUGHT HERE TO THE MEDICAL SHIP AND YOU LOST YOUR LEFT ARM TO UNKNOWN REASONS. WE REPLACED IT WITH A MECHANICAL ONE.ONLY IN HOPES YOU COULD COPE WITH THE LOSS WE ADDED THE FEEL OF SKIN AND BONES.AND WHILE YOU WERE BROUGHT UP WE FOUND TRACES OF DAMAGE TO YOUR BRAIN THAT MIGHT BE A CONCUSSION…...DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION COMMANDER?" Just staring at the doctor thinking on what he had just said Nebo finally remembered and said calmly "I UNDERSTAND." "NOW YOU CAN'T FIGHT RIGHT NOW SO YOU WILL HAVE TO STAY HERE UNTIL YOU FEEL BETTER." Said the doctor. And with the end of that sentence he left the room and locked the door behind him.
Authors Note: Now I know I just posted the last chapter in my first story only a bout a week ago but I'm just too excited about posting the first chapter of my second story but in the future I will post the chapters only a few days apart from each other so you all can read the endings of each chapter or the whole chapter again and not be rushed to read it all at one time. Oh and to those of you readers that are reading this story without reading "THE CONSPIRACY" first, be warned you will be a little lost on the storyline if you don't read THE CONSPIRACY before you read "HUNTING DOWN GRIEVOUS." Sorry for that slightly long note and disclaimer at the top. But let's get back to the story shall we!
After the end of the Battle over corusant the chancellor was safely returned back to the planet and the archives were fortunately saved as well thanks to the Jedi. Also thanks to Commander's Nebo and Tetra's Bravery and ability to destroy several CIS capitol ships the entire CIS fleet disengaged and retreated from corusant. Now a few weeks after the battle Commander Nebo has just been dismissed from the hospital and was fully able to move his mechanical arm with ease. At the end of the week all the soldiers in the Republic's army (including the clones that had just arrived from Kamino only days before) were to report to the main military base on corusant for an upgrade on their armor. Commander Nebo and Commander Tetra were the twentieth and twenty-first soldiers in line for the new armor. And just like all the other Clones they wondered what the new armor would look like and if they were color designated instead of just white all over. Now the time came for Nebo's new armor Tetra nodded at Nebo and said "WELL THIS IS IT,OUT WITH CRAP IN WITH BETTER" Nebo actually almost laughed at Tetras statement and walked into the military base. (oh almost for got, all the clones are still in their old armor)
"PLEASE STRIP DOWN YOUR ARMOR" Came a voice out of nowhere. And just as the voice said Nebo stripped down to his underarmour and set his old armor neatly on the ground piece by piece and stood straight up waiting for further instructions. Then again the voice said "PLEASE ENTER THE MILITARY CHAMBER" A door flung open and Nebo instinctively asked to the walls around him looking for the source of the voice "WHAT ABOUT MY ARMOR?" but the voice didn't care what Nebo had to say and repeated "PLEASE ENTER THE MILITARY CHAMBER" So without another word Nebo left his armor on the ground and went through the door in front of him which led to a long hallway which seemed to go on forever because of how long it took Nebo to go through. At last he reached what he believed to be The Chamber and was amazed when he saw that line after line of racks were all filled with shiny new armor. But Nebo was immediately disappointed when he saw that they were all white just as the old armor was. But was yet again cheered up when he saw that at the end of the racks the armor was being melted and destroyed in giant tubes of flames. So Nebo continued through the halls until he was met with a dead end. But only moments later the wall opened up and Nebo walked inside but saw an empty rusted room with a big platform that seemed to reach into the Ceiling. As soon as the door shut Nebo looked behind him then looked back at the platform as it started to come down to the ground slowly. With a clank and a clatter the platform stopped and faced in Nebo's direction. Nebo looked at the whole thing noticing a keypad and a flat screen monitor attached on one pole at the far end and saw what looked like foot cuffs on the bottom with wire after wire coming from either side of them. Then a little Probe Droid came buzzing from the hole in the ceiling as said to Nebo " PLEASE STEP ON THE PLATFORM" Not sure weither or not to trust the droid Nebo walked onto the Platform and waited for the droid to speak again. It did and it said " PLACE YOUR HAND ON THE KEYPAD PLEASE" So Nebo did and the monitor began to flicker with life and started to type information about Nebo on its own. Nebo waited until it stopped Typing and at the Bottom it said "ACTIVE….." Wondering what that meant Nebo was brought back to reality when the droid said "PLEASE STEP ON THE FOTPADS AND THE PROCESS WILL BEGIN SHORTLY." So Nebo followed the droids order and stepped onto the pads and only moments later they both locked his feet into the platform and locked themselves immediately.
Trying not to panic Nebo simply didn't think about the pads but instead focused on what lied above the ceiling. Now the platform began to vibrate abruptly and started lifting into the hole it had came from in the ceiling. When the platform stopped again Nebo looked around and saw that the room he was in had machine arms in all sides of the walls holding what looked like armor facing the wrong way. Then with a roar that wasn't too loud to Nebo's ears the arms began to move off the walls and began pressing the pieces of armor on the correct places on Nebo's body after what seemed like an hour of placing armor on him Nebo was finally done with his leg and torso armor and was left without a helmet. As soon as the arms retracted back to the walls with another piece of armor in each one just like before another door opened to a giant white room which seemed to be empty. As soon as Nebo stepped into the doorway something came over his head fast and he started to panic as he tried to get the object off his head. Nebo couldn't see a thing but within a few seconds a bright light come into Nebo's eyes and he closed his eyes until he could see into the light. As soon as Nebo could see again he saw that everything was tinted blue and there were a few rising and falling bars in the corner of the "T" shaped figure.
After looking around Nebo noticed that the object on his head was in fact his helmet. And not even knowing what he was doing Nebo somehow opened the "Self-Schematics Program" which showed Nebo himself from a front view angle in front of his face. Nebo didn't really seem to dislike the armor he was wearing. In fact he looked pretty good in his opinion. The shoulder pads were a dark yellowish color and the lining of his helmet was tinted slightly orange and his gloves and shoe pads were also a dark yellowish color and the rest of the armor was the same boring white. But as soon as he got a good look at himself the Program closed and Nebo continued onward to what looked like a big row of weapons organized neatly from pistols to Blaster Rifles to Trip Mines to Rocket Launchers Nebo studied the weapons with amazement. All of them were shining black and grey and were all even better looking than the old weapons Nebo used to use. But as soon as Nebo went to pick one of the guns up something Shocked his hand and he pulled away his hand and looked at the row of guns again. Another Droid came buzzing into the room and it spoke "HELLO COMMANDER GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN I SEE YOU ARE GETTING THE UPGRADE AS WELL." "WELL YES" replied Nebo. The droid spoke again "WELL AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVEA BRAND NEW SELECTION OF WEAPONS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM BUT YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A MAXIMUM OF TWO SIDEARMS AND ONE MAIN WEAPON WITH AN ADDITIONAL THREE CLIPS." Nebo replied"O.K THAT ISNT TOO BAD CONSIDERING I ONLY HAD TWO SIDEARMS TO BEGIN WITH! HMM…….. SHOW ME ALL THE PISTOLS." to the droid. With a tilt forward the rows of guns and weapons began to move to the left and only a few moments later entire rows of blaster pistols and hand-machine gun came to Nebo. He looked at all the guns carefully and said "CAN I TRY THESE OUT?" to the droid. "SURE THING GO AHEAD BUT ONLY FIRE A FEWW SHOTS. WE DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO HAVE NO AMMUNITION DO WE?" replied the droid. Nebo picked a pair of Westar-347's (A better model of the gun Jango Fett used) and aimed them at a spot in the white wall and fired one shot from each gun. Then again Nebo aimed in the same spot with both guns and fired again. But these shots were a few inches apart from where the first shots were. "NOPE THESE ARE NOT MY GUNS" said Nebo as he placed them back in their corrective holsters on the rack. Nebo picked another pair of blasters. This time they were a bit longer than the standard Republic blaster pistol. Nebo saw a scope on both the guns and aimed with the scope at the shot he fired the first time and shot the guns. Nebo looked out of the scopes to find that the shots had landed exactly where he fired before. "CAN I GET A PAIR OF THESE GUNS BUT WITHOUT THE SCOPES?" Nebo asked the droid. The droid replied "OH YES SIR WE WILL HAVE YOUR CHOICED WEAPONS SHIPPED TO YOUR CAPITOL SHIPS MAIL BOX WITHIN THE END OF THE DAY." The droid spoke again "DO YOU WANT ANY KIND OF PRIMARY WEAPON SIR?" "NO, THOSE PISTOLS ARE MY PRIMARY WEAPONS" the droid replied again "OK SINCE WE GOT YOUR WEAPONS REDY PLEASE HEAD OUT THE DOOR FOR THE LAST STEP BEFORE WE SEND YOU TO YOUR SHIP."
With the end of that another door opened at the far end of the room and Nebo went through the door. As it closed behind him Nebo found that he was yet again in a dark room but this room had a desk and a man sitting behind the desk wearing a old Republic officers uniform with a pile of papers in his hands. "PLEAE SIGN THESE PAPERS AND YOU WILL BE REALEASED TO GO BACK TO WHATEVER THEHELL IT WAS YOU WERE DOING BEFORE THIS AND YADY YADA……."said the officer looking at Nebo. Again he spoke "I HATE MY JOB" to himself. Nebo went over to the desk took a pen from the desk and signed his name on a bunch of paperwork not even caring what was on them. After that was done the door on the far end of the room slid open and Nebo walked out through the door.
