Hey folks, Grubkiller here. Here's part 2 of my re upload of Make War, Not Love. Enjoy.

The entire city of Sundar'i was in utter chaos, as the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the planet. Smoke was rising from the top of several buildings across the city.
Bo-Katan Kryze, like most Mandalorian warriors not being one to lead her army from behind and make nice in some bunker, was leading her warriors to halt the Vong advance into their city.
High above Mandalorian Night Owls, warriors that were once apart of Death Watch and remained loyal to Bo-Katan after Maul's takeover, were harassing the Vong as they tried to deploy their endless hordes into the streets below.
Ahsoka and Lux met up with the rest of the Republic Delegation to evacuate the Royal Palace.
The Palace was in chaos as Mandalorian warriors moved to protect the city, and civilians moved into the bunkers beneath the building or simply tried to get out of the city.
The Palace was quite aways from the landing pad, so the entire delegation went back to the transport that dropped them off earlier, this time there was a wing of fighters above them, to escort them back.
"Alright everyone, let's get a move on," said Commander Thire, as he waved everyone towards the transport.
He and Ahsoka were at the front of the Delegation, with the Onyx Guardsmen in a diamond formation to keep the three senators secure.
They all walked towards the transport when out of no where, a swarm of Vong fighters swooped in a fired upon the transport.
The two Mandalorion fighters that were circling above engaged almost immediately but to little avail. They managed to down a couple of the Vong fighters, but they were destroyed. The transport, along with the Royal guards that stayed behind to protect it, went up in flames.
"Ah great. Now what are we gonna do," one of the Onyx Guardsmen, a rookie named Lucky, blurted out.
"Quiet shiny," Thire ordered the rookie guardsman.
Ahsoka decided to try and salvage the situation.
"Alright, Listen up! Our comms are down, but our transport on the other side of the city is still intact. We need to get back to the space port".
"But Ma'am, how are we supposed to get all the way over there?" Another Guardsmen, Sharpshot, asked.
"Well, unless any of you have learned to fly, we're gonna have to go beneath the streets, and walk all the way over there, now let's move it troopers".
Lux smiled at how Ahsoka took control of the situation. It was one of the qualities that he loved about her.
"Alright, you heard her lads, let's go," Thire ordered his men.
With that, the senators and Guardsmen followed Thire and Ahsoka towards the streets below.
"And if I see a single scratch on the senators, I'm docking your pay," Thire stated.
"Wait, we're getting payed for this?" Another Guardsmen, Rys (N/A: also from the first episode of Clone Wars), joked out loud.
The other Guardsmen laughed, it seemed to ease the tension in the air, and everyone thought to themselves that they were going to be ok.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A few moments later, the team was able to move into the streets below, a few blocks away from the palace.
The sounds of battle were getting closer so they had to get moving.
It would've been suicide to move such a large group at street level, so it had been decided long ago that they would move under the street. That meant either going into the sewers below, or the traffic tunnels. The group unanimously chose the traffic tunnels, but to do that they would have to find an entrance, like a maintenance access point.
"Alright, somebody access the city's schematics and find me an entrance," Ahsoka ordered.
"Droid," Thire said as he looked at R2-D2.
The droid chirped a reply and he already had a hologram of the city pulled.
"Hurry along Artoo, we must get moving," Threepio said.
Artoo beeped a reply.
"I am being patient," Threepio insisted. Just as Threepio said this, the explosions started to get closer, and the roars of several large Vong creatures sounded in the distance.
Everyone began to tense up. Ahsoka and the guardsmen all faced the direction of the roar, with the three senators and two droids behind them.
A few moments later, down the street where the team was facing, a Mandalorian hover tank appeared around a corner, with several warriors belonging to the Mandalorian security forces (N/A: not commandoes like the Night Owls or royal guardsmen) surrounding it.
Although they were not advancing. They appeared to be retreating.
The tank pushed through a pair of damaged, overturned speeders without a care in the world.
The Mandalorian soldiers all frantically moved with the tank, and everyone knew what they were running from.
A massive Vong creature resembling a Rancor with armor and cannons, called a Brumak by Republic forces, rounded the corner with packs of Vong drones protecting it.
Ashoka's Lekku allowed her to here sounds better than most living beings, and because of this, she was able to here one of the soldiers shout something in terror.
"Mother of moons, it's back. Light it up," shouted the unit commander.
With that, every soldier and the tank opened fire with everything they had.
The Brumak ignored the little bee stings it was receiving, and it's heavy anti-personnel cannons opened fire, and it cut the Mandalorian soldiers to bloody ribbons.
It then turned its attention from the gory scene it had left, and to the tank which was firing everything it had.
Ahsoka then realized that it was just a lightly armed two person hover tank with a medium turret on the front end. It was an infantry support viechle. It wasn't meant to go toe-to-toe with heavy targets.
The small hover tank reversed as fast as it could down the street, but the Brumak was faster. It didn't even have to use it's guns. Instead, when it was close enough, it just used one of it's muscled arms to smash the small speeder over to the side, and send it flying into a nearby building in a burst of flames, and it continued stomping down the street.
Ahsoka was immediately concerned and she turned to Artoo.
"How's it coming Artoo?" Ahsoka asked.
The small blue astromech whistled a response. He highlighted a spot on the map, which was very close by.
Ahsoka shouted to the rest of the team. "Everyone, move that way". The team immediately ran in the direction of a maintenance access hatch that led to the traffic tunnels, which was in a small alley way.
The Vong noticed them, and the Brumak fired the heavy cannon that was mounted on it's back. The Projectile flew down range at the group of senators, troopers, droids, and Jedi. Almost everyone was in the alley when the projectile hit the middle of the street.
The blast didn't manage to kill anyone, but the concussive blast forced four members of the group, two Onyx Guardsmen, Lux, and Threepio, into the alley. Ahsoka ran up to help Lux to his feet.
"Are you alright?" Ahsoka asked with concern.
"I think I'm ok," Lux said reassuringly to Ahsoka, who smiled before pulling him into the alley.
"This is a nightmare," Threepio complained as Artoo used a cable, with a magnet at the end, to pull his gold plated counterpart the rest of the way into the alley.
By the time everyone was in the alley, the hatch was already opened by one of the Clones.
"Everyone inside now," Ahsoka ordered as she ignited her two lightsaber blades. Her main one was her original green blade, while the other was a shot blade with a yellow blade. When she left the order, she had to turn them in. But Anakin gave them back to her just in time for the Siege of this very planet at the end of the Clone Wars.
Three Guardsmen, Doc, Lucky, and Tech, went into the hatch first to make sure it was clear. They were followed by the senators and droids.
The remaining clones hugged both sides of the alley and aimed their weapons back at the street to catch anything that followed them into a deadly hail of Republic laser bolts.
Seconds later, the Vong drones that were covering the Brumak earlier had charged down the street in pursuit of their prey, but the only thing that the drones had pursued was their own death, as several of them charged right into the crossfire laid down by the Clones.
The otherwise dimly lit alleyway was immediately illuminated with the blue flashes of Republic blaster fire.
"Everyone inside," Ahsoka ordered as she expertly deflected the shots of Vong drones right back into those who fired them.
The clones retreated back into the hatch one at a time until only Ahsoka remained. She continued to deflect shots heading her way as she backed into the hatch.
The drones started to press the attack as they charged over their fallen comrades.
Two drones got close to her, and she crossed both blades over her chest and when the two drones got close enough, she lashed out with her sabers and decapitated both drones, who's bodies slumped to the pavement, lifeless.
Not today scaly.
Ahsoka moved into the hatch. She did so just as a Vong spike grenade was thrown into the alley. She hit the close button, and the doors shut, just as the grenade went off and sent deadly spikes in every direction.
Ok, almost today.
Ahsoka then used one of her blades to melt the two doors together. When she was done, she ran down the corridor to meet up with the rest of the group.
The day was however, far from over.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hours later the group was still moving along the dimly lit traffic tunnels, which have been deserted for some time now, save for hundreds of abandoned viechles.
The team was divided into two columns that each walked along the walls of either side of the tunnel that they were in. The team still had aways to go, but so far they hadn't run into any trouble.
Lux was in the same column as Ahsoka on the right side of the tunnel.
"Well it seems like we are in another fine mess, haven't we Ahsoka," Lux said.
"Yeah, and it wasn't you who started it for once," Ahsoka said.
Lux chuckled a little.
"What's funny is that one of those situations started on Mandalore as well". Lux said, remembering their run in with death watch on Carlac.
"I had to save your skin back then to, just like old times Luxie," Ahsoka said.
"I knew you couldn't resist helping others," Lux said.
"Am I really that predictable," Ashoka said.
"Only to me," Lux said, obviously flirting with her.
Ashoka smiled and looked to the side to hide her blush (Togruta blush=darker lekku stripes).
Lux smiled as well, and then he walked further ahead to speak with senator Mothma.
Artoo, who was just behind Ahsoka and able to hear the conversation between her and Lux, rolled up along side her.
He whistled and beeped a little, which translated to, "You like him, don't you?"
Ahsoka felt slightly embarrassed.
"Shut up, Artoo," Ahsoka said.
Artoo let out a strained whistle, which sounded like him blowing famous raspberries.
In the other column, on the left side of the tunnel, two Onyx Guardsmen, Rys and Jek (N/A: both appeared in the first episode of Clone wars), were talking about something as they led the column.
"How long does this Godforsaken tunnel go on for," Jek complained.
"I don't know, Jek, but this place gives me the creeps," Rys said.
"And what the hell happened to all the civvies, why did they just leave their speeders behind," Jek asked.
"They've probably just decided to take their chances and walk out," Rys said.
Commander Thire cut in.
"All right, cut the chatter, we'll be out of this tunnel soon," Thire said holding up a holo-map of the tunnel in his hands. "Just a about one click left to go".
The two columns continued walking, and it started to get darker in the already dimly lit tunnel.
Ashoka's voice came in over Thire's com-link.
"Thire, it's getting dark in here, tell the squad to start turning their helmet lights on," Ahsoka ordered.
"Why not night vision Ma'am?" Thire asked.
"Because the senators, don't have night vision," Ahsoka explained.
"Roger that, Ma'am. Troopers, turn on your helmet lamps," Thire ordered. Each trooper then reached up to a button on their helmets, and they immediately flooded the dark tunnel with high powered light, or at least parts of the tunnel that they were looking at.
Ahsoka ignited one of her blades and ignited the area around her.
The two republic columns continued down the tunnel. They felt a several rumbles vibrate through the infrastructure above them, signaling that the battle was still raging, but they could not tell who was winning.
The shinies, perhaps being overly optimistic, assumed that the Mando's were winning as they had not seen any hostile contacts. One veteran trooper told them to shut up, telling them not to jynx it.
A few hundred meters later, the two columns came across a wall. It was actually two large security doors, that were used to control traffic, but there was a ramp that led off to the right near the top of the security gate.
Thire used his visor to zoom in on the large security gate blocking the tunnel. It didn't go all the way up to the ceiling, in fact the ramp off to the right not only led past it, but was also close enough for someone to walk on the catwalk above the gate.
Thire reached reached up to his helmet's comm system to contact Ahsoka. "Commander, that gate has our route blocked off, but it looks like we can bypass it pretty easy".
"Alright, send three men to clear us a path," Ahsoka ordered.
"Roger that Ma'am. Jek, Rys, Tech. Head for that gate, see what's on the other side and try to open 'er up," Thire ordered.
"Sir, yer sir," the three troopers sounded off in unison. The two veterans, Rys and Jek, took the tech expert, and shiny, appropriately named Tech, to the gate.
The three clones, slowly moved towards the gate with their weapons raised.
There was one source of light coming from a medium sized hole in the tunnel ceiling on the other side of the gate, presumably from the surface battle.
They moved onto the ramp and then onto the catwalk above the gate. Jek, immediately found a terminal for the gates and turned to the shiny. "Tech, get on that terminal".
"On it sir," the young clone guardsmen replied.
How come we haven't seen any bodies yet, Jek thought to himself.
Tech quickly examined the terminal and found that it had been blasted into uselessness.
"Ah, STANG! It looks like the Mando's damaged the controls," the rookie Clone exclaimed.
"Why would they close the gate? The evacuation would grind to a halt," Jek exclaimed with confusion. Tech threw his arms up in an 'I don't know' gesture.
"I think I might know why," Rys, who had been silent this whole time, said staring at the light beaming through the hole in the ceiling, or rather what was beneath it.
Beneath the hole in the ceiling, was a massive leech pod. They were used to disperse the disease, or rather the tiny bugs that carried, used by the Vong to make their "Grims", which were infected people used as cannon fodder.
Leech pods were sometimes used on Republic warships if the Vong were fighting a losing naval battle, but they were mostly used to infect entire city blocks. Once you saw one, it was most likely too late.
This pod was already opened, which means it had already dispersed the virus.
Question was, where were the victims?
The clones switched from their flashlights to their visor's night vision mode to look around.
What they saw was bone chilling.
The entire tunnel, for as far as they could see, was packed with cocoons. Their were hundreds of cocoons. A cocoon usually either had one or two humanoid victims, or the victims were rapidly broken down into little spider creatures, nicknamed "leapers" by Clones.
"Holy Shit," Jek said completely stunned.
All three clones couldn't take their eyes off of the horror film in front of them, when suddenly Rys's helmet comm went off, with Thire's voice on the other side.
"Troopers, what's the hold up out there? What do you see?"
"Sir, the door terminal was sabotaged. The Mando's were trying to quarantine the tunnel," Rys answered.
"Quarantine what?" Ahsoka got in on the conversation.
"A leech pod broke through the street. There's hundred's of cocoons down here," Rys explained.
The comm was silent for a few moments.
"Alright, we're gonna have to sneak by as quickly and quietly as possible," Ahsoka said. "Troopers, stay put. We'll come to you".
"Copy that ma'am," Rys said into his comm system.
A few moments later the group made their way up the ramp next to the "Quarantine gate" in order to continue the journey.
They made it about 300 feet down the tunnel when a few of the cocoons started to quiver.
The group continued for a couple hundred feet. They were passed most of the pods, when they all started to quiver.
Ahsoka knew what that had to mean.
"Run," she ordered.
Everyone immediately started to run as fast as their legs would carry them down the tunnel.
Every pod in tunnel began to burst open, revealing either a humanoid grim or a cluster of spider-like leapers.
A loud screech sounded over through the tunnel as the creatures began to give chase.
"Wait for me," Threepio said, being the slowest one in the group.
Just as Threepio said this, an Onyx Guardsmen that was behind him, threw the gold droid over his shoulders and started running.
The Republic group ran, but the grims were faster because of their enhanced Vong abilities. The leapers began to swarm alongside the grims.
Ahsoka pointed to four Clone troopers in the Squad, Tech, Doc, lucky, and Jynx(the one holding Threepio).
"I need you boys to go with the senators and droids. Get them to the space port. We'll slow them down," Ahsoka ordered.
"But, Ahsoka, what about you?" Lux asked with a concerned look on his face.
"We'll be right behind you Lux, don't worry, now go," Ahsoka said reassuringly.
The two shared one more loving look with each other as Lux turned away with the rest of the group.
Ahsoka and the remaining clones (Thire, Rys, Jek, Nash, Boomer, and sharpshot) turned around to face the hoard.
The leapers came first. Ahsoka channeled the power of the force towards her hands. When the leapers got close enough, she used force push to send a shockwave towards the leapers, promptly sending them flying and thus removing them from the equation, for the time being at least.
Next came the grims, which were humanoids that ran fast, beat down hard with their fists, and had an appetite for flesh.
They ran towards the squad, who used their weapons effectively.
Sharpshot used a high powered, long barreled, DC-15a blaster, set to the sniper configuration, to take out targets from long range with deadly accuracy.
Boomer used a grenade launcher on his DC-15a to take out clusters of enemies.
Jek used a rapid fire z6 rotary gun to cut into the waves of grim carelessly charging at them, while Ahsoka expertly used her Green blades to cut anything that got to close to her.
Thire, Rys, and Nash just used standard rifles and pistols to take out anything that got passed them.
Some grims got too close to sharpshot, who wasn't able to bring his slow firing rifle to bear on the three grims that bludgeoned him to death.
Ahsoka was able to push them off with the force, but wasn't fast enough.
"Oh-no, Sharpshot is down," She shouted.
It was then the leapers she pushed away earlier came back with a vengeance.
The team laid down murderous fire onto the swarm, but there were just too many of the fast moving crawlers.
A couple of leapers managed to get behind the squad by scurrying on the walls and ceiling. A few of them jumped down on Nash, knocking him to the floor. He blasted a few on the way down and he frantically started kicking them away. But one managed to crawl to his face and it started using it's sharp knife-like legs to rapidly stab the screaming trooper through his helmet and into his face.
"Ah Crap, they got Nash," Boomer exclaimed.
"Everyone, fall back, now," Ahsoka ordered as the Vong creatures moved closer.
Ahsoka and the Guardsmen all retreated along the tunnel where the rest of the group went. They moved through the large open door at the end of the tunnel and closed it behind them.
But just as the door closed, several grims charged through the door at full speed. The remaining clones opened up on the grims with everything they had. The Vong creatures were now reduced to smoking piles of rotten meat on the pavement.
Ahsoka turned to the rest of the group to check on their status. She found a group of dead Vong drones 20 feet away from the group.
The others looked like they'd been through the wringer.
Doc, the team medic was busy patching up Pvt. Lucky and senator Organa. The other senators were taking a breather, while Tech scanned the street for targets. Pvt. Jynx's dead body was covered in spikes from a Vong spike grenade, which also apparently damaged Threepio, who was having his legs reattached by Artoo.
"Are you guys OK. What happened?" Ahsoka asked.
"We got ambushed by a bunch of those scaly bastards. They banged us up real good. Jynx didn't make it," Doc said with a little sadness.
"How 'bout you," Doc asked as he finished with Lucky's bandages.
"Where's Nash and Sharpshot?" Tech asked worried.
"I'm sorry Tech, but they didn't make it," Ahsoka said apologetically. The Clones lowered their heads in sadness to hear about their brothers.
"Come on boys, our brothers didn't die for nothing. We're still here, we finished the mission, and now we have a chance to win this war. We are almost home because of those men and we're gonna remember them for that. Now let's get moving," Thire ordered the rest of the Clones who were followed by the senators, droids, and Ahsoka.
The mission was ultimately successful, but it wasn't over yet, for they still had to get back home. The group made it to the edge of the city and found an elevator that would take them to the space ports directly up top.
They were almost home, or were they?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
On the elevator ride up, the Republic team's Comm devices started working again and they got some update on the surface battle. The good news was that the Mandalorians had begun clearing out the city of Vong stragglers. The bad news was revealed to them when they reached the end of the elevator ride, which dropped them off at the space port outside of the city's dome.
What they saw could only be described as the seventh level of hell. In the orange dusk skies of Mandalore, Vong and Mandalorian cruisers hammered away at each other from close range. In the nearby fortresses outside the dome, heavy cannons fired away at a Vong cruiser that strayed to close to the city. The cruiser received a full broadside from the city defenses. Red and orange flowers blossomed along the ship and they expanded as the ship took more hits. The Vong ship started listing hard. The cruiser crashed into the surface with a thunder that shook the planet.
Everywhere, Mandalorian soldiers were running in all directions. They were heading for their stations to repel the invaders. Just on the horizon, the darkening sky lit up with the visual effects of war. Vong fighters were caught in a deadly tango in the skies with Mando fighters.
On the desert floor, Mandolorian defense forces were in the trenches fighting off the advancing Vong hordes, with Night owl soldiers (former death watch) harassed the enemy from above. Brumaks were stomping towards the front lines, some got a face full of heavy artillery and fell forward on their faces.
That's how you do it, Ahsoka thought triumphantly.
Further behind, Vong siege beasts, which were ugly looking things used as artillery, catapulted heavy projectiles at the Mando forts. The limited Mando air cover did its best to try and turn the tide on the ground.
Bo-Katan, the warrior duchess, was directing Mandalorian forces to their stations. She turned around and saw the Republic delegation, nearly dumbstruck.
"Where have you people been. I've had people looking all over for you," Bo said.
"It's a long story. Do you know where our ship is, because we need to get out of here right now," Ahsoka said with urgency.
"It's in that hanger right behind you," Bo said pointing behind the Republic group. "By the way, I've been in contact with your Chancellor Dalyell. He knows about the agreement we've come to, and he's sending ships our way," Bo said before turning back to her troops.
They all turned around to see their Consular class republic frigate. But then Ahsoka realized something. "Where's my V-wing?"
"Oh that was destroyed by a siege beast about an hour ago, that's why we moved the frigate into the hanger," Bo said dismissively.
"What? Ah Frak! I spent hours painting that thing. What about my droid?" Ahsoka asked with shock.
"Relax, your droid ejected just in time". Ahsoka blew a sigh of relief to know that R7 was alright. It was still a shame about her fighter.
"If you guys want off this planet, then now is your chance," Bo advised.
The group took the advise and rushed on board. The injured clones and Bail were all sent to the ship's sickbay. The other senators headed for the VIP deck, along with Threepio and Artoo, to strap in. Thire and the other clones remained on alert just in case.
Ahsoka rushed up to the bridge to find Lieutenant Striker, the ship's CO, along with two clones prepping the ship for take off.
"Welcome aboard ma'am," Stiker said.
"Can you boys get us passed that mess out there?" Ahsoka asked just as a mandalorian cruiser went supernova in midair.
"Don't you worry ma'am, we'll be out of here in a moment," Striker said reassuringly.
A few moments later the ship was in the air and moving through the battle in the clouds. They were being pursued by a flight of Vong fighters.
"All batteries, let 'em have it". On Striker's orders the frigate's four anti-fighter turrets came to life and started swatting fighters out of the sky. But there were too many. The ship shook violently as the fighters scored direct hits.
"Oh that sounded expensive," one pilot quipped.
"Last stand anyone?" the other clone Pilot cynically joked.
Then out of nowhere, a flight of mandalorian fighters swooped by, taking out the remaining enemy fighters. The ship then went into hyperspace to return to Coruscant and away from the battle.
Looks like we're even Bo-Katan, Ahsoka thought to herself as they travelled through the blue tunnel of hyperspace.
They were on their way to Coruscant, but war has a way of making detours.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hours later, the ship was still traveling through hyperspace. Everyone had their one way off killing time. The wounded got some hard earned rest, the senators were either writing reports or checking their old messages, and the droids went to the maintenance area for a tune up. But Ahsoka and Thire were not such people. They were called up to the bridge by Striker. When they got there, they found the cockpit's three occupants looking over some charts.
"Ma'am. Sir. I'm glad you two could come up. We have some bad news," Striker said.
"What's wrong Striker?" Ahsoka asked.
"Well, the Vong did a number on our ship," Striker explained.
"What kind of damage?" Thire asked.
"We took a beating in the engines. Our hyperdrive is fine, but we're leaking fuel. At this rate we won't have enough to make it to the nearest base". Striker said.
"Why not call for help," Ahsoka asked.
"Because the Vong also managed to knock out our comms array and the dish is all chewed up. We can't call for help," Striker explained.
"Any suggestions," Thire asked.
"One sir. We can repair the fuel leak and then we can use the remaining fuel to get us to the nearest refueling station. But to do that, we have to land on the nearest planet to make the repairs manually".
"Alright, it's your call Striker. Take us to the nearest planet and set us down. Make sure you tell the crew," Ashoka ordered. Striker through up a quick salute as Ahsoka and Thire left the bridge.
Striker then spoke into the PA system just as the two pilots punched the co-ordinates to Takodana. "Attention all crew and passengers. Due to damage we received on Mandalore, we must find a spot to make repairs. We are changing coarse to the planet Takodana to avoid detection and make repairs. That is all".
