Season 5 episode 18-19 Fox pov
A tired Fox enters the prison mess hall and a clone shouts, "Fox showed up for breakfast, pay up!" a lot of clones get up and pay him a credit each.
Fox gets his food and walks up to the clone who got paid, "Bets, stop."
"Sorry, sir." he pockets the money, "It won't happen again."
Fox sits next to him with skepticism and takes his helmet off to eat. Twelve more clones throw money at Bets. Bets smiles guiltily at Fox, "After this one." then pockets it. Fox rolls his eyes and takes a bite of green omelet. A Massiff comes under the table and pokes it's head between legs and begs for food. A few clones gently push it away and it begs other clones, who give in. It finally reaches Fox a minute later and begs him for food. Fox looks down and starts to push it away, but stops to answer his com, "This is Commander Fox."
"Sir, Tarkin has a prisoner for you."
Fox climbs out of his seat and gives his entire plate to the friendly beast, "I'm on my way." as soon as he's gone, more money gets thrown at Bets.
Fox comes out onto the platform and finds Tarkin standing with two troops beside him. He held a tight grip on Letta's upper arm, inches away from leaving a bruise, as he smiles at Fox, "I have the Nano-bomb killer Letta Termont. Since she killed clones, I have brought her here to hold her until her execution. Lock her up nice and tight. I have a Jedi funeral to attend."
"Yes, Admiral Tarkin." Fox says with a head bow. Tarkin lets go roughly and walks away. Fox stops her momentum with a gentle hand, then leads her inside. Once in the prison, he shuts off the forcefield filled hallway and takes her to a cell. He opens it and sends her in. Once she's in, he states, "Whatever you say and do will be recorded. If you need something, just shout." She glares at him and he glares back before leaving. She sits on the bed, curls up in the corner angrily and stayed like this for over an hour before realization dawns on her. She gets up and shouts, "Hello? I need to talk to Ahsoka Tano."
a clone voice speak through a hidden speaker, "State your reason."
Fox looks up from working as Ahsoka walks in. He asked politely, "Yes?"
"I'm Commander Tano. Letta Termont requested to see me."
he walks over, arms crossing as he gives her an impressed compliment, "A lot of innocent people died in that blast. Good job capturing her." Ahsoka grows upset at the thought of the victims. He turns to face his two men, "Alright. Scan her." they press some buttons and the scans detect her weapons and com. He motions to the sliding box in front of her and speak more softly, "Leave your comlink and light-sabers here." she obeys and he walks to the other side of the glass, chest held high, "Follow me." they walk a few feet up to a row of forcefields. He slides a card through a slot and they shut off, revealing a hallway. They walk through til they reach another hallway, one with prison cells along the walls. He leads the way to one and slides the key card through the slot to open the door. Ahsoka greets the prisoner with hostility as she walked in, "What do you want, Letta?"
"I was told that if I ever needed help, you were the Jedi to contact." she glares at the clones with mistrust. Fox glares back in agreement. Ahsoka turns and orders him gently, "Give us a minute. Please." Fox nods and shuts the door behind him. He and the two troops with him head back to the control room, his posture normal. Once there, they get back to work monitoring security. Fox grabs one of the light-sabers and poses with it until he notes that one of his troopers had left, "Where's Cat?"
The closer trooper looks at him, "He took a visitor to see her brother in Cell 284." Fox nods and calls in another troop to take his place, then puts the light-saber back in the box. After he came in, less than a minute later, the computer goes off, "Prisoner death critical. Only 7173..." Fox turns, only to see a fuzzy screen with a trooper facing him, "Commander Fox, the prisoner."
Without a second thought he whips out his guns and runs out, ordering, "Follow me."
They burst into the room seconds later and see Ahsoka squatting over the prisoner. Ahsoka looks between him and the body, panicked, "I have no idea what happened."
Fox waited for his officer's report before deciding to pull his guns on her or not. The officer checks the prisoner's pulse, "She's dead."
"I can't say I blame you, Commander Tano, but all the same..." he points his weapons at her, "You're under arrest."
she sputters in protests, "I... no no... I did not do this." he stood unconvinced.
After placing her in a different cell, Fox calls for the body's removal. He sighs, then heads back to the control room and contacts the Chancellor. After telling him all that happened, Palpatine nods, "This is quite an event, my boy. I will send Admiral Tarkin there, but you must obey everything he says."
"If I may, sir. Don't send him." Fox protest respectfully, "I can interrogate her myself. Sir."
"I know, Commander, but you've seen Tarkin's results. You can ask for a joined investigation, and if he says no, than it's no."
"Yes, sir." he shuts it off and sighs heavily at the screen that frizzed, then points at a trooper, "Get it fixed."
"Yes, sir." the trooper checks the monitor, it works, then checks the camera feed, it doesn't. The trooper leaves and Fox turns back to monitoring. He thinks, then brings in another trooper before leaving to get some food.
Fox comes back brushing crumbs off his armor. He spots Tarkin arguing with his men. "I will only be speaking with your superior. Where is he?"
Fox walks up and crosses his arms, "I'm here."
"Ah. I must speak with Commander Ahsoka Tano. Due to this being a military matter, you are not to let anyone in but me, is that understood?" he asked with an air of superiority.
"It's my prison." Fox states as he imprints the security footage onto a small holo-disk, "This should be a joined investigation."
Tarkin rolls his eyes as if Fox was stupid, "Not today. This is a delicate matter and clones aren't very gentle. I should know, I've worked with an entire unit of clones. You will stay here and keep out unwanted visitors. Understand?"
Fox growls internally, "Yes... sir." He hands the holo-disk to Tarkin and orders his men, "Set your weapons to stun." they nod and leave the room to lead Tarkin to Ahsoka's cell. Fox overhears him ask for an article of Letta's clothes as he disappears around the corner. He turns and starts checking for security faults, muttering, "Clones aren't gentle, ha! I've got clones that make plush feel rough."
Anakin hurriedly enters, "I came as fast as I could. Where's Ahsoka?!"
Fox looks up and switches tracks, "She's in cell 174. Tarkin's interrogating her. You can't go in."
"She's my Padawan." he states.
"She's being interrogated. You're not allowed in."
"I said... my Padawan is in there! Now step aside." Anakin demands.
Fox speaks softly, "General Skywalker, Admiral Tarkin has ordered that no one be allowed in there."
"I don't care what she's accused of!" Anakin balls up his fist and shoves an angry finger at him, making Fox jerk back, "I want in." Fox head motions the guards over and they ready their stun batons.
Fox explains as they surround him, "Sorry, sir. The admiral's orders stand. This is now a military operation." his tone hints at disappointment, "And under his jurisdiction." Anakin leaves with an angry look, making them jerk away like he's going to choke them too. Fox crosses his arms and waits for him to leave as the troops return to their posts. Tarkin returns minutes later and gives Fox back his troops, "I got everything I needed from her."
Fox slides the box towards him, "Place the evidence disk and hat in here."
Tarkin places them in the box and scoffs, "I don't need them anyway. I got the confession I needed from her. I'll be checking out your security system to see if any of it can hold a Jedi. We wouldn't want Commander Ahsoka Tano escaping from your custody before her trial." he turns and leaves for a corridor.
Fox pulls the box in, takes out the data disk and turns it on. It flashes the words, "No recordings." he looks at his troops, "He erased... this was our only footage!"
"We told him not to." the clone on his right states.
Fox looks at the trooper and sighs in annoyance, "Confessions?"
"She claims she's being framed." the one on the left states.
Fox nods, then leaves, stating, "We'll see. Back to work." they nod and get back to work.
One comments, "I'm surprised Cat's not back yet."
"Must be a pretty chatty visitor."
"Or just a pretty one."
"Ooo..."
