Chapter 9 The Jedi Commandoes
The trip back to Coruscant seemed a lot shorter than the trip to Geonosis. After they landed on Coruscant Yoda showed them to their new war room. The room was outfitted with a detailed map of the galaxy, and transmitters to every clone army in all the galaxy. Also adjacent to the war room was there quarters. Their quarters were also outfitted with transmitters to the armies.
"Wow," said Nate, "this is so cool."
"Yes," said Dan, "and it is outfitted with all the high-tech equipment we need to be in control of the entire Republic."
"The whole Republic," admired Anakin, "we are in control of the whole Republic."
"Yes," said Steph, "but with great power comes great responsibility. We cannot use our power to benefit ourselves in any way."
Over the next year the commandos sent the clones on many missions known only to the Jedi Council. One day the commandos saw a movement in the CIS forces toward the Outer Rim Territories. They decided they would split up. They chose Anakin to take the Elite Commando Clones to the Outer Rim. They split up to make sure if anything else would happen they would be able to respond quickly to it.
The sieges were taking longer than the commandos would have wanted. Then one day the commandos on Coruscant saw more movement within the CIS forces. They were moving in on Coruscant. The trio tried to warn the senate, but the senate didn't believe it. But they didn't give up they went to the Jedi council, but the council didn't believe it. When suddenly the CIS laid siege on Coruscant. The trio had no choice but to call back Anikin and take the Outer Rim Sieges.
"Why do we have to go to the Outer Rim," complained Nate.
"Anakin is the only one who has been inside a Confederate Cruiser," said Dan, "So naturally he is the only one who is qualified for this mission."
"I'm not so sure," said Steph, "that Anakin is ready to go back to Coruscant. He spends too much time around the senatorial district."
"So," said Nate, "he likes to know what is going on. Is that so bad?"
"No," said Steph, "that is not so bad but I think it's something else. Either he is spending extra time with his friend Palpatine, or there is someone else in his life."
"But," Dan exclaimed, "that's against the Jedi code."
"Yes, we all know that," said Steph, "but what is the Jedi code? This war has blurred many principles of the Jedi and the Republic. And it's starting to make sense what Dooku said to Obi-Wan. That the Senate is under the control of a Sith Lord."
"Now I can see what Reven meant," said Nate, "you are sounding like a traitor."
"I say we drop the subject," said Dan, "this line of thought leads to many dark places."
The other two agreed and the subject was dropped. Then they started planning what to do when they landed on Tatooine.
