Hello! It's me again; your annoying author Got the Jitters! And I'm not alone, because I've brought a new chapter with me! Now this chapter is going to take place about a month after the last chapter because I don't want to spend the time writing all about Rex's long and boring recovery from his blaster wound. We'd lose all our readers that way. Rex has recovered and has spent all this time doing all the stuff he does every day and learning the ways of the Force from Ahsoka in secret. The problem now is how to get him a light saber crystal. Unbeknown to them, a disguised enemy lurks in their midst….
The crew of the Resolute was almost all asleep. Of course there were night watches and such, but the majority had gone to bed hours ago, due to the time- 1 AM. Perfect. The armored figure had nothing to worry about, even if it were seen. The only thing that might give it away was if it was asked to take of the helmet or speak. But no one did.
Once, it accidently ran into a Clone Captain in a doorway, but the clone only muttered a hurried apology and brushed past, obviously not wanting to be questioned about where he was going in one in the morning. That was just fine with it, for it didn't want to be questioned either. If only that clone had known who he had bumped into. Then he would have been more obliged to pull a blaster then mutter an apology. Later that clone would finally realize who it had been, and would clench his fists in anger. But as it was he simply walked by without taking a second look at the one who he'd bumped into. As a result he wouldn't recognize the armored figure until much, much later. It continued on its way, silently glad it wouldn't have to kill a clone so soon. It was hoping to have some fun first.
It pulled rounded a corner and walked into a hallway. Without tuning its head- so as to not look suspicious- it used the helmet's scanners to check and make sure the cost was clear. It was. It ducked into a closet on the right side of the hall and closed the door. It crouched there a moment, before taking out a com unit. It spoke into it. "Massster, I have infiltrated the ship. What are my orderssss?" it said in a reptilian voice, slurring the letter S like a snake. "Good!" the answering voice emitting from the com unit was disguised, so it sounded almost electronic.
"The Togruta Jedi has the information we need. She is close to the clones, and I'm sure she can reveal some… unique, clones that will bring an extra price in the Market. Find her quarters and search them. Be extra careful, she is a skilled Jedi, and will sense it if you leave things out of place. She must not know you were there! When you are done, report back immediately and you will receive further orders. Do not fail me." And with that, the connection broke. The armored figure waited a moment, listening. When it was sure all was safe, it slipped out discreetly and headed for the nearest map of the ship, hanging on a wall.
A while later, the door to Ahsoka's quarters opened a crack. The Togruta Jedi was not there, because she and Rex had taken to training at night. It slipped in and closed the door behind it. It searched around the room, finding nothing of interest. It looked under the bunk and found a holo-journal. It turned it on and scrolled through it. It soon found what it was looking for. Grinning maliciously, it slipped the journal in one of its hidden pouches, used for carrying things like this. It hurried out of the room, making sure everything was in its place, besides the journal.
About an hour later, the armored figure sat safely in its own ship, with the lines of hyperspace surrounding it. It pulled out the com unit and informed the person on the other end of his discovery. The one known as Master was pleased.
Well… sorry it was short. I started this chapter, then stopped and started over again and again. But the words just wouldn't come. Then all of a sudden a light bulb flashed above my head. This is the result of that. Was it intriguing? Review and tell me if it was, or wasn't! There is nothing left to say but bye and "May the Force be with you."
