PART 3: ASTRAY ACOLYTES
CHAPTER 11: BLOCKADE RUN
Slave I dropped out of hyperspace before the Separates blockade; Jango Fett sat silently next to Obi-Wan as they held their position. Before them in the blackness of space was a fleet of Separates battle ships blockading the system. "It appears we've arrived," Obi-Wan said. Jango Fett was silent a moment.
"Yes we have, get ready Jedi we're going to run this blockade," Jango Fett's voice was almost unconcerned. His tone one of single mindedness as he looked on the star ships before them.
"I'm ready, all we have to do is get to the plant's surface. Once we're there the Separates cannot follow," Obi-Wan said.
Jango Fett nodded and pointed to the controls before Obi-Wan. "When where in the thick of them drop the seismic charges."
"I seem to remember these from the last time we met," Obi-Wan said. He remembered his pursuit of the bounty hunter several years ago.
"Good, then you'll know what kind of damage they'll cause in the middle of that battle fleet." Jango didn't waste anymore time he sent the ship flying into the blockade. Rolling to avoid laser blasts and flying in an erratic pattern as to make tracing harder for the battle ships' laser cannons. Jango Fett showed off the reason why he had been picked as the clone temple; he was very good at what he did.
It was a second later that they were in the heart of the battle group and Obi-Wan dropped the seismic charges. Six cans were kicked out of Slave I and detonated in its wake. Obi-Wan felt the shock wave as the seismic charges ripped through the nearest three battleships and many others beyond made to get out of the way of the seismic charges blast radius. Slave I pelted towards the watery surface and landed on the rain lashed platforms outside of Tapoca city. Exiting the ship Jango and Obi-Wan headed into the white medical like halls of the Kaminoan capital.
The lighted displays of the med-center record room blinked on and off as Jango and Obi-Wan made their way in the darkness. "That one," Jango said, pointing to an info-hub. As they powering the display up they were met by a security system that required a pass code.
Jango took a particularly heavy looking data pad out of one of his many pockets and hooked it up to the info-hub and pressed a few keys. A moment later the screen on the data-pad light up and a woman wearing a purple jacket appeared in holo. "Zam, I've got a security system that needs cracked. It's going to take a 5-20 and make it quick."
"Hang on a moment," Zam said, and disappeared a moment then her voice came over again. "Alright, send me the data I've got the cracker ready." Jango did so and then they waited.
"I thought that all communications to and from Kamino were blocked?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Not to me, those seismic charges scattered the fleet well enough to punch a parasite signal through," Jango said his dark eyes in the dark room fathomless.
"Parasite single?" Obi-Wan asked. He knew the basics of most communication but they were not his specialty.
"It hijacks the transmission frequency used by the blockers. In this case the Separates fleet and sends it through without notice for the most part," Jango said.
"Alright, that should do it, you owe me Fett," Zam said cutting off the call. A moment later a code came flashing over the screen of the data-pad and then the hub screen lit-up and unlocked.
"Where in," Jango said and started scrolling through data files. Obi-Wan scanned down the files as they scrolled by. For several minutes they were silent before Obi-Wan said
"Stop, that one," pointing out a file with the order name Sifo-Dyas. Jango opened the file. As they scanned through the file it appeared to Obi-Wan that it was all the information on the manufacturing of the clones.
Jango already knew most of the basic information and skimmed past it. He stopped scrolling through the information when a new section caught his eye. Information he didn't know. Obi-Wan heard the man's breath catch and a moment later his own breath caught in his throat as well.
"Organic inhibitor chips" Obi-Wan read out the title aloud.
"Protocol signature, order 66, on command from the appropriate authority all units engendered with inhibitor chips are to purge all designated life forms without exception. Designated life form. Jedi."
