Rex walked briskly down the corridors of the Resolute making his way to the briefing room, he found it a little disappointing that they had already had their next mission set in place, that would mean he'd be changing ships as soon as they got back to Triple Zero… so no R&R for him.
As he turned the corridor in which the briefing room was situated in he noticed someone coming from the opposite direction, when he saw that it was Ashoka he stopped to open the door for her, she smiled and nodded at the kind gesture.
"Thank you, Captain."
"So what's the problem Master?" She asked walking in the room, looking around expecting to see more clones, but it looked to be only her, Anakin and Rex.
"Rex, shut the door." Anakin watched as Rex walked over to close the door, the moment it shut he spoke again, "Okay, this is now an undercover mission briefing."
Ashoka looked at him with eyebrows raised, "Undercover? Master, we're in the middle of space, there's no cover to go under.' She added being cocky.
"Ashoka, I'm not in the mood." Anakin said throwing her a look that got him a mumbled and embarrassed 'sorry' from the padawan.
'In short, there's a suspected senate spy that's double dealing," he explained whilst typing in a comm code with his back to the two, "He goes by the name of Lon Adabilla and is putting the Senate at Risk; and it's up to us to make sure he spends the rest of this war in a cell."
"Suspected?" Rex asked confused, "Sir, are you sure he's a traitor?"
"Well, that's what we need to clarify." He replied as the comm was searching for the number. Anakin straightened up when it beeped telling him it had.
"This is General-"
"Skywalker." The person in the hologram finished and smirked, "I see the Senator has already contacted you."
Anakin sighed, Great, out of all people. It could be worse I guess. He looked up at the Null ARC trooper or Ordo as he preferred. "Hello Captain, Yes she has, but wasn't specific with the details."
"Wasn't specific or your just an idiot?"
"The former." Anakin said harshly through gritted teeth.
Ordo grinned at the Jedi's expression as he continued. "Well basically all we need you to do is get this guy locked up, it's a small job but somebody has to do it."
"And what's wrong with the Coruscant Guard troopers? They're perfectly capable of doing this, because it's, well, let's see it's… their job!"
"Really?" Ordo asked sarcastically, "Wow, that's incredible, and here I was thinking Jedi were all lightsabers, peace and assholes." Ordo raised his eyebrows looking at the furious Jedi in amusement.
"Well genius, as efficient and well trained Commander Fox and his men are, Adabilla will obviously be expecting that, and if he has been spying on our actions than he can easily find out when and where Fox will arrest him, thus giving him the advantage of running." Ordo stated. "Plus, if it's planned well out of reach from him, then he won't have any suspicions, it's a win, win."
Anakin mentally slapped himself… duh! "Okay, so how am I supposed to track him down? The Senator said something about a ball."
"Yes, the annual Antei Satii "ball", every senator is invited and yes, we have confirmation that he's attending. So it's simple; intercept his speeder."
Anakin narrowed his eyes, already formulated a cocky reply. "If it's so simple, then why aren't you or any of those other nut jobs doing it?" he was proud of himself.
"Because us nut jobs are more than a week away from Coruscant, and this ball thing is in five days." Ordo replied, angry and now really pissed off with the Jedi. Rex knew the relationship his General and his brother had, so being the man he stepped in and quickly changing the topic area before things started to get bad.
"Sir, Adabilla could be under Sep protection, intercepting his vehicle could prove a lot harder if that's the case."
"Then we get him on our turf." Ashoka who hadn't said a word the whole conversation piped up, she spoke carefully, trying not to make it sound stupid as everyone turned to face her.
"A smart tactic Commander." Ordo smiled, he liked this Togruta girl she was alright, apparently from the look she was getting from Rex his brother did too, too bad she had Skywalker as a master he'd probably already nearly gotten her killed before.
"Look, I don't care how you do it, as long as I have a prisoner to interrogate when I get back." Ordo nodded to Rex, "Re'turcye mhi ner vod, good luck Commander and Skywalker, don't frack this up, I worked hard for this Intel." The shimmering hazy blue figure of Ordo vanished.
"That's new." Anakin muttered to himself, he straightened up, his voice now louder, "I hate that guy."
Ashoka looked at a little confused, probably over the interaction between her Master and the ARC. "What was with you, I thought he was really nice Master."
"Yeah? Well wait until you meet him in person."
"Uh, Captain Ordo and General Skywalker have a bit of a, well rocky relationship, Commander." Rex directed at Ashoka, he thought it'd be best to fill her in, it would probably save Anakin the embarrasment. He looked over at Anakin, "Doesn't get along with Skirata and his gang, do you sir."
"I see." Was Ashoka's reply, she'd heard a lot about Skirata mainly from Rex and the other clones, she'd heard a bit about him from the Jedi too… although he didn't seem to be too popular with them she noticed. It didn't take a genius to fit it all together.
Anakin dropped down into the chair at the meeting table that filled almost the entire room, "Well, we should start planning this arrest then."
