Star Wars: GHOST SQUAD-More Than Just A Number

by FishConfirmed

As ARC Trooper in the Ghost Squad, Clover (ARC-7777) has a duty to protect his men however he can. Even if that meant smuggling them into a med bay, to get their inhibitor chips removed. That action saved their conscious minds. After crash landing on an unknown desert planet, they run into a Padawan Twi'lek girl, and her Wookie bodyguard. Clover has a sudden urge to protect her.

1. Good Soldiers Follow Orders

Ever since I was created, they always said that 'good soldiers follow orders'. I don't think that's true. Why would a good soldier go through with Order 66? That's what I would like to know.

Don't get me wrong. It wasn't any of my brothers' faults for going through with the Order. It was in their programming to turn on the Jedi. Gosh, that darn inhibitor chip. Gosh, those darn Kaminoan liars. If clones weren't supposed to be Imperial Soldiers right now, I'd kill everyone going along with this genocide.

Anyway, enough with my rant. I want to make a point, that stowing away isn't always a bad idea. It did save my life, and my conscience after all. Ever since my good friend and brother Fives, may he rest in peace, went to Kamino, to figure out why Tup went rogue, I had to find out too. I stowed away on their ship, and followed them every step of the way, eavesdropping however I could. Those dumb Kaminoans were so focused on Fives, they didn't notice me here.

Conveniently, that eavesdropping led me to find out that the Separatists were behind this. THat they had some kind of secret plan against us with those chips. I didn't want to be another one of their little puppets, so, while their snappable noodle necks were distracted, I got one of those nice medical droids to remove that chip from me. AZI-2937474830392 I believe his name was. Best decision I ever made.

I managed to smuggle my entire squad into the medical bay to get the chips removed from them. One at a time, whenever I had spare moments, to avoid any exposure. I wanted to help more of my brothers, but before I knew it, it was too late, and the Order was executed. My brothers were no longer my brothers, and the whole Jedi Council, and probably the Jedi as we knew it, were completely wiped away. I couldn't do anything about it, as I am just one clone, but I knew that not all the Jedi were killed. There had to be some lucky ones out there, and my squad and I were going to find them, to carry on the Jedi legacy.

I am CT-7777. Everyone calls me Clover, and as Fives always said…

I AM MORE THAN JUST A NUMBER.
