CHAPTER 12: BREAKING INTO PROTOCOL

Jango read out the file and with every word Obi-Wan felt a dire warning in the force.

Obi-Wan ran a finger down the list of clone units and stopped at the very bottom. "They all have one," he was shocked. "Every single clone has been engineered to destroy the Jedi."

Jango opened the file name at the very bottom of the list, CT-0001. A quick review of the file showed Jango that Boba too had been created with an inhibitor chip. Boba was supposed to be unaltered. Now it appeared that the chip was growing at the rate of a clone with an accelerated life cycle not a normal one like Boba's.

"They'll pay for this," Jango's voice was that of a man who had been betrayed. Jango put a data disk into the data-hub and copied all the information down onto it. It would be necessary to help the doctors treat what was wrong with Boba.

"We need to tell the senate; this proves without a doubt that the Jedi had nothing to do with the creation of this clone army." Obi-Wan said. Knowing that it was a little triumph compared to the horrifying truth that had been raveled. Someone, somewhere was trying to destroy the Jedi order. "Can you open up another line of communication to Coruscant ?" Obi-Wan asked. Jango nodded and a few minutes later Obi-Wan was beaming the information to Padmè on Coruscant. After the transition ended Jango put the data-pad down and un-holstering his twin pistols as he moved to the door.

"What are you planning on?" Obi-Wan asked taking his own lightsaber from his belt.

"They've broken our arrangement, I don't allow that," Jango said.

"As far as the Kaminoan's are concerned the Jedi ordered this clone army. We should have the ability to ask for changes to be made to the order and have these inhibitor chips removed," Obi-Wan said. He ignored the unpleasant taste that the word 'ordered' had when referring to sentient beings.

"The Prime Minister took this order personally. Any changes that are to be made will have to go through him. His office is in the high tower," Jango said.

"Then that is my destination," Obi-Wan said.
