Fox hunt part 1

Good men must not obey the law too well.

Narrator: Commander Fox continued ARC trooper Fives' investigation and has unburied the truth of Chancellor Palpatine's plans. Now on the run, he must find a way to pass on his knowledge before he's caught by friend and foe alike...

Fox comes to the train station and sneaks past a train guard droid. He sits in a seat away from a window and yanks off his helmet to take a few deep breaths to calm down. After a minute the train moves. He looks up to she a lady and her child sitting a bench away. The little boy sees him and throws his scribbled on toy trooper at him. It hits him in the chest and slips off. The boy giggled and held out his hands like he wanted it back. His mommy looks down at him, "No throwing toys at strangers." he giggles again. Fox grabs it and gently tosses it back. "Thank you."

Fox smiles softly, "Just doing my duty."

She gives him elevator eyes, "You're a clone?" He looks down, then back at her, nods. She whispers to her boy, "Look, he's a clone trooper. Just like Bobo." the boy tosses the toy at him again. Fox tosses it back. "What's your name?"

"Commander..." a thought occurs to him and his eyes lower, "Fox. Just Fox."

She blinks, "Something wrong?" He nods, but doesn't answer. She guesses, "Were you demoted?"

he sighs, "I wish." then looks down at his com and stared for a minute before removing it, leaving the device under his seat.

The mom tilts her head in worry when she sees this, "Why are you taking off your com?"

The boy throws the toy and Fox catches it. The boy giggles and Fox just plays this game til they got off at the next station, ignoring her questions. He lets her and her son out the door first and pulls the cloak tight, then heads into the crowd.

The medical droid walks into the security room with a glass of water in its hand, "*CT-65-5642?"

"Thire." he corrects it.

"Have you seen CC-1010? I went to get him a glass of water, but when I returned, CC-1010 was gone. I checked all over the facility, but he is nowhere to be found." it said pointing for emphasis.

he looks up, "Fox is missing?" he checks the camera feed, "I thought you sedated him."

"I did. But only to remove his chip for him to examine."

Thire groans, "Why I did I think telling him to stop investigating would make him stop? It's not even in his vocabulary." he orders, "Give the water to someone else and get back to the med bay."

They walk out of the tiny room, splitting at the fork in the hall. Before Thire could take a step into the visitor lounge, a call comes in. "This is Captain Grover of the Senate Guards. Your Commander Fox attacked the Chancellor and ran off before we could detain him. He is armed, and highly dangerous. The Chancellor wants him alive."

Thire taps his com, "Call off your search, Captain. We'll catch our own and handle this ourselves." he shuts it off and mutters, "Fox, you've better have a good reason." he gives orders and runs off in a hurry.

Fox walks into an elevator and clicks a button. The elevator drops down the tube and stops six levels down. He peaks out before walking out the door. He wandered for a bit before spotting a wanted poster with his picture, clearly taken from the senate security footage. He looks away with a sigh, then looks around and spots a place that looked promising. He walks up to a building and heads inside. He spots a crate and walks up to it. It was empty. He starts taking off his armor, only leaving on his belt, shoes, and chest piece. He yanks the camera off his helmet and pockets it. Then walks over to the graffiti on a wall and slides his hand across it, "Still fresh." he wanders over to a spray gun on the ground and picks it up. After a good shake, he takes off his shoes and sprays them green. He looks at his handy work, "It'll have to do." slips them on and stretches a bit before running towards a wall with a walkway on it. He uses his momentum to scale the wall and grabs onto the walkway's edge. With a single swing he lifts himself up and rolls onto it. He stands up and makes his way to the vent.

Thire and Hound arrive at the train station. Hound leads his dog thing to sniff each train that parks. It drags him onto one and finds Fox's com. It sits next to it and pants happily. Hound takes it back to Thire, "Fox threw away his com."

Thire takes it and thinks as he rolls it in his hands, "I can think of two reason the Commander would throw away his com. Either he doesn't want to be tracked, or he suspects that it's been hacked. I suspect the latter." he hands it to Hound and walks up to a ticket bot, "Small question."

"Yes?" it asks in a robotic monotone, "What is your question?"

"Did you spot a clone enter this train?"

the bot thinks for a minute, "No."

"How many stops were there twenty minutes ago?" Thire glares at the bot as he listens.

"Fourteen. Stations 23 through 37. Do you have a ticket?" it asks holding out his hand.

Thire walks away and taps his com, "Get me fourteen sniffers to Chijakko train station now."

A bunch of troops with their hounds climb aboard a clone transport and fly to the station. One of the things starts whining in fear. The clone holding its leash leans down and pets it, "It's alright, Cookie."

the ship makes it to the station and hovers over Thire. Thire barks orders and tosses them Fox's com. As the ship leaves, the troops take turns letting the hounds sniff it, making them jerky. The ship hovers close to a station's platform and a clone and their hound jump off. It takes off and drops each pair off at the other stations. It drops Cookie and her clone at the last pier. She sniffs the ground and jerks him into the city level. He taps the com on his helmet, "Cookie's got his scent. Station 37- Whoa girl!- through the inner city!"

Thire coms the Pilot as he climbed aboard, "Take everyone to station 37." the pilot nods and picks up the others. Thire's com beeps and he gives it a tap, "Speak."

"Lieutenant Thire, a Kaminoan ship has arrived. They're asking to speak with you."

"I'll be there soon. Thire out." he turns off the com and he climbs onto his bike. With a swift kick it comes to life and he drives off.

Thire arrives at the prison and walks up to the two Kaminoans, "Nala Se, Lana Te." he states in a cold monotone.

Nala Se motions to a clone decked out in a white Commander armor looking at one of the door guards, "This is *CC-56-4376. Due to CC-1010 recent... behavior... he is being replaced."

CC-56-4376 walks up to him and takes off his helmet to show a smooth, young face with wing tattoos on either side of his head, "Name's Thorn. You can call me Commander."

Thire takes off his to show a much older, annoyed face as he faced the Kaminoans, "I'm not replacing Fox til he's dead."

"You may have too. Seeing as he attacked the Chancellor." Lana Te states stepping out from behind Nala Se, "Once CC-1010 is in your custody, you are to hand him over to us."

Nala Se speaks, "CC-1010 is considered highly unstable."

Thire thinks for a moment, "Our medical droid removed his chip. Does that mean anything to you?"

Lana nods, "Unfortunately, yes."

Nala Se chimes in, "We installed chips in all the clones to control the more aggressive behaviors. If he is not caught within days of its removal, he will turn on anyone, and everyone. He is a threat to others, and himself."

Thire's posture saddens, "So, shooting him would be a mercy?"

"Hopefully, it will not come to that." Nala Se says 'sadly'.

Thire sighs, then taps his com, ordering, "I want all Camera probes and troops on the ground now! Be on the lookout for Fox. He is considered armed, and dangerous. Set blasters to stun." he turns to Thorn, "I can't have you ordering troops til you've memorized all two hundred fifteen of Fox's rules and prison layout."

"Really? I just finished the Commander crash course and you want me to study more stuff?" Thorn asks.

"I'll drop you off at your... new... office."

Thorn nods and follows Thire out of the room.

Nala Se looks at Lana Te, stating, "We must know how much CC-1010 knows about the chips."

"Agreed."

*(Idk their numbers. Just leave them in the comments if you do.)
