Proof (part 1):
What happens now turned out to be NASA taking every living thing that the clone brothers had touched or shared air with into custody for 'quarantine' purposes. Her, the police officers, her horse. Even the cats.
After introducing Cody, Rex, and Artoo to the NASA guy who'd won the 'I have more right to them than you do' battle, explaining that yes, they were the REAL Commander Cody, Captain Rex, and R2-D2 from Star Wars, and then further reassuring him that no, she wasn't in a hostage situation (she had no idea where they got idea from), and finally showing him how she'd been communicating with them (which he demanded she let him in the loop on), the man then proceeded to say that they were all going with him and that they were apparently going to be met by some more people looking for Cody and Rex. (He didn't know who, much to the brothers' disappointment, but Rex seemed to think it was Ahsoka and Skywalker, saying that no one was more determined, stupider, or braver than them and that they would totally forge through a dangerous wormhole to get their friends back.)
The barn itself was put under lockdown orders until it could be scrubbed thoroughly by another specialty team that had to be called in, which was fortunately easy to do since the rest of the staff and riders were at a horse show. (Tezza had to call them and explain the situation so they could send someone back to look after the rest of the horses because she had no idea how long she'd be under the tender care of the NASA minions. (Yes, she actually said NASA minions, earning a dirty look from a nearby yellow suit.)
After an amusing five minutes of watching the minions try and catch the barn cats, who were understandably suspicious of the yellow hazmat suits, they eventually let Tezza catch them for them. But she didn't have any carriers on hand for the felines, and neither did the NASA people, so they were now in the arms of Cody and Rex and quite happy about it if the purrs were anything to go by as the brothers stroked and scratched and petted. (She envied the cats. Especially Tangy, who Cody had chosen because of her orange colour.)
Rex, once he'd read the translation for Domino's name, almost became misty eyed as he hugged his cat. It took her a moment to figure out why, but then she'd remembered that some of his favourite brothers came from Domino squad. She then wondered where he was in his timeline and if he'd lost Fives and Echo yet, but now wasn't the time to ask, especially considering she hadn't yet had time to explain how she knew about them.
The minions did get the privilege of carrying the cats' beds, a bag of their food, their dishes, and their litterbox, though. (And wow, were they happy about that. Not.)
Tezza had then put some shavings and a haybag in the cargo area of one of the NASA transports and loaded CeCe into the relatively large space, tying him to a handy ring on the wall beside the one holding his haybag. Fortunately, he was used to flying, having been to a few small schooling shows, but he'd still snorted all the way up the ramp into the unfamiliar ship that looked and smelled nothing like a horse trailer.
She'd also made the minions load up two weeks worth of hay bales, a dozen bags of bedding, a bag of his complete feed pellets, buckets, extra blankets, and her tack box into the other transport because they didn't know how long they'd be 'quarantined' for and she was determined that her horse would not suffer for it.
By the time all of that was done, she could tell that the NASA minion in charge (who had instructed them to call him Smythe or Sir) was regretting saying that the animals had to come too, but he couldn't take back his ridiculous command or he'd look bad, so he'd visibly gritted his teeth and lived with it.
Tezza was internally laughing her head off at him for being stubborn while at the same time grateful that she'd get to spend more time with Cody without having to lose access to her favourite animals.
Cody and Rex had watched all of this with a twinkle in their amber eyes as well that belied the impassive expressions on their faces. (She'd typed in brief explanations as to what was happening whenever she could, which really hadn't been much, but it was enough to keep them informed enough to get the gist of current events and be just as amused as she was.)
And then, just because Smythe had let her get away with so many other demands and it was kind of necessary anyway, Tezza had dashed up to her little apartment above the barn and grabbed her purse and packed a suitcase with everything she thought she might need for an extended stay in the States. Including her barely used passport, the majority of the contents from her bathroom and bedside table, most of her underwear drawer, and a variety of clothes for any occasion (heavy on the jeans and comfy T-shirts). Her wrist comp had enough music and books downloaded on it to last her at least a year even if she never had access to the internet again, so she was good to go.
And finally, the crashed Y-Wing, which she had a small freak out moment over when she realized it was an ACTUAL Star Wars ship (at least she wasn't the only one, considering the NASA minions were all but doing happy dances as they swarmed it), and the apparently paranoid Police officers' cruiser (because it had been cloaked in the back parking lot) were now magnetically locked to the bottom of the NASA transports as they flew.
They were now on their way to Washington D.C. to experience the hospitality of eager NASA nerds. Joy.
Tezza and the clones were seated in the transport amongst a dozen minions who were basically all gawking at the brothers in awe (even Smythe) and the two cops as the cats roamed the cramped seating space curiously, and now she finally had time to explain the cliffhanger she'd left poor Cody and Rex on a good forty-five minutes ago.
Which Cody hadn't forgotten, since he was the first one to start typing as soon as everyone was settled. (Smythe and Rex followed along on their own wrist comps.)
Now you have time, please explain how your computers know Aurebesh.
Tezza, who'd determinedly parked her butt in a seat right beside Cody, who had his helmet between his feet, grinned at the man as he gave her an 'I'm waiting patiently for this answer for the next five seconds before shit's going down' look. As I said before, this is probably going to sound crazy, but I know pretty much everything about your universe.
How?
More than a century and a half ago, a man named George Lucas made a movie about the conflict in your galaxy called Star Wars: A New Hope. Since then, we've gotten almost constant media content that follows the lives of important people in your universe, yourselves included. (She left out what the movie was about, considering it was in his future and he wouldn't know who people like Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker were.)
Cody and Rex gave her identical looks of skepticism mixed with incredulity as Artoo twittered with quiet droid laughter at the end of the aisle. You're right. That sounds rather unbelievable.
"Maybe we should just show them," Smythe said.
"You got a screen in this thing?"
His smirk was clear even though his slightly foggy face shield. "We're NASA, what do you think?"
She snorted softly. "You have a screen. All right, but what should we show them? There are way too many options and it has to be something they would recognize. We have no idea where they are in their timeline."
"Based on their Phase 2 armour, they're at least half way through the war. We could show them anything from the first year of the Clone Wars."
"What about Rookies?" one of the other minions said. "If there's not enough for them to recognize in that episode, nothing is."
"Good choice, Dawson." Smythe started pushing buttons on his wrist comp with efficient speed. A paper thin, widescreen digital screen slid down from the ceiling in front of the door to the cockpit, and was just as wide. The Star Wars Inc. streaming website appeared and then he scrolled down to the cartoon category.
What's happening? Cody typed in after nudging her gently to get her attention.
We're showing you an episode of the cartoon show that follows you and the Jedi during the Clone Wars. This one is called Rookies and takes place on the Rishi moon where you meet Fives and Echo.
Cody and Rex both did a double take, looking at each other in shock. Rex said something with the names in it which she would bet a significant amount of money amounted to, 'We never told her anything about Jedi, Rishi, Fives, or Echo.'
What Cody typed in next more or less confirmed it.
Those are brothers we have not mentioned. Either you are a gifted mind reader or we must believe your story.
As the called for episode started on the screen with Mando'a in Aurebesh subtitles, the brothers only watched through the opening montage by the narrator before Rex quickly typed, Kriffing hells. We believe your story.
