Chapter 14- Rescue Plan
A speeder pulled to a stop at the Docks. Obi-wan, who were standing with Commander Cody, looked over to notice it. Jac climbed out with two bags in his hands. He jogged up to Obi-wan.
"Sorry, I'm late," he said. "I had to grab Cayden's bag and Sasha's too. You're lucky you got a hold of me in time to tell me to get it."
"Thank you, Jac," Obi-wan said taking her bag from him.
"Generals, it's time to go," Cody said.
Both Jedi Generals walked down the ramp into Obi-wan's ship, the Negotiator. Cody followed close behind them. On their way to the bridge, Jac and Obi-wan stopped at their personal quarters to drop off the bags. Tossing the bag onto the bed, Obi-wan heard a clank as something fell to the floor. He turned to see something small and silver on the floor. Kneeling down beside it, he noticed it was Sasha's locket.
He remembered she took it off before their mission as the latch broke, and she was worried it would fall off during the battle. When Jac grabbed her bag, he must have grabbed her bag from her bed that was still packed from the last mission. He never got around to unpacking it. Obi-wan picked up the locket and clenched his fists around it. Placing it in his belt pouch, Obi-wan headed for the bridge. With Sasha's saber and locket with him, he felt at ease as if she was with him.
Jac, Cody, Scamp, and Clone Commander Maxx were gathered around the holoprojector when Obi-wan arrived. A hologram of Riflor was pulled up.
"Our scouts were able to gather these photos of the planets current condition," Maxx said. His head was shaved with a X shaved into the back. "There is a blockade above the planet consisting of a Trade Blockade vessel and two Separatist Frigates."
"Against one Republic cruiser?" Scamp asked. "I like these odds."
"Distracting the ships is our first priority until the gunships land below then we destroy them," Obi-wan replied.
"So what's the plan, General?" Cody asked.
"Did the scouts catch a pick of the prison?' Jac asked.
Maxx nodded and pulled up the hologram of the prison. Parts of the hologram were red indicating traps and alarms.
"Alright, here's the plan," Obi-wan started. "Maxx will lead things up here. We will have two fighter squads out fighting. Another will escort the gunships past the blockade, but will return to aid in the battle. Now before we can make our attack, we need to jam their communications and scanners that way the gunships will land undetected.
"As for the gunships, myself and Jac will lead two groups of clones into the prison. Jac, Scamp, Cody, Tosh, and I will go after Ventress, who will probably be here in the command center." He pointed to it. "Cody, gather a group of five clones, make sure a medic is with them, they will go after the padawans and set the bombs to blow the base. Once Sasha and Cayden are with us and Ventress is under arrest, we will take the gunships and fly away, blowing the base once we are far away." He finished.
"General, what should we do if we are overwhelmed?" Maxx asked.
"General Skywalker is only a few planets away and is willing to send support," Obi-wan said.
Commander Maxx nodded. A pilot came to them at that point.
"Generals," he said. "We're arriving in thirty minutes."
Jac nodded and turned to him.
"Prepare for battle," Jac said to the pilot. "The moment we come out of hyperspace we'll need to act fast." He turned to Maxx. "Prepare the fighters and the gunships."
"Yes sir!" they said.
"Cody, get your men ready and be in the side hanger five minutes before arrival," Obi-wan said.
"Sir," Cody saluted then left with the others.
"The seppies better look out," Jac said. "We're bringing the pain."
Obi-wan chuckled and moved to the viewport at the end of the catwalk, waiting until they come out of hyperspace. He decided to mediate during this time; it would keep him off the edge.
