After the attack by the Black Sun and the abduction of the Younglings, the heroes gathered in the Council Room to discuss on what the next course of action should be done. A holographic projection of Tarkin was also in attendance. The Jedi were determined to not bargain with the Black Sun. With a man like Terry's Uncle Derek around with the skills to deactivate any kind of defense was far too dangerous to ignore.
Tarkin: How exactly do you propose to avoid anymore disaster after this? The safest way possible would be to hand over Terry to Black Sun unless more destruction it what you want.
Anakin: It would be wise to not rush into any conclusion just yet, Tarkin. We need to know if Black Sun will agree on their end.
Windu: Terry, you know your Uncle better than anyone else. Do you believe that he will follow through on his threat if his conditions are not met?
Terry: Unfortunately, yes. He always follows through on his promises. Whatever he promises, he does it. So I wouldn't call him a bluffer with this threat.
Obi-Wan: Do we even know where he's gone?
Terry: I was able to plant a homing device on his ship before it flew off. The signal has stopped about 7 miles from here to the southeast. Upon studying the area, it appears to be a hidden Black Sun base right here on Coruscant.
Obi-Wan: Black Sun has many bases all over the galaxy. They have been able to hide a few on Coruscant so well that no one can find them.
Tarkin: If we were to mount an assault on the base, there is a good chance that Black will kill the Younglings and follow through on his threat. So I suggest we choose the safe option and hand Terry over.
Anakin: The Jedi do not bargain with Black Sun nor with any threat, Tarkin.
Tarkin: Then what do you suggest we do?
Terry: As smart and cunning my uncle is, he does have a level of arrogance and overconfidence. And because of that, he wouldn't expect an attack from behind, in essence, a sneak attack.
Plo Koon: I agree. The enemy won't play fair and sometimes, use that rule against the enemy.
Yoda: Agreed. Plan we must, and quickly we must. At stake many lives are. Succeed in this attack, we must.
Tarkin: Very well. In that case, I take my leave.
With that, Tarkin's hologram vanishes. The heroes leave the Chamber.
Ahsoka: Sneaking into a Black Sun base won't be like a walk in the park.
Obi-Wan: Which is why we need to know everything we can about this base.
The group walks into the data archive room and find a data drive on the base. All building schematics and data on Coruscant are stored in the data drive room. Upon studying the data, the group learn the weakness the base possesses and of a control and camera room that can be used their advantages.
Terry: Now we need a sizeable amount of men.
Anakin: I know just the right men to do it.
The Republic had trained a certain amount of Clones in the art of stealth and the field of assassins. They were quick, hard to see, and deadly. They had blades hidden in the arm slots of their armor. By this point, at least 500 Clones have received this type of training.
Then an idea came into Terry's mind. Why not have an assassin who can disappear entirely? Terry went to the lab where he had designed a few good things in the past, including the cure to the Blue Moon Shadow Virus.
He used a device that would make an object disappear for some time until the energy was depleted or could be turned off at any time. Once off, the energy would recharge quick enough. Terry used his advanced knowledge to make an exoskeleton that would fit on the Clone's body.
The device would be connected to the exo and spread the cloaking all over the body of the person wearing it without pain. On the arm would be the switch to activate and deactivate the cloak. The power would be drained the more the person using it would move and would recharge only when off.
Terry was able to make about 30 exoskeletons in the amount of time he had. Each Clone Assassin assigned for the attack tried them on and tested the cloak, which worked perfectly.
Rex: You certainly have quite the mind, Commander.
Terry: Thanks, Rex. I even impress myself sometimes.
As the sun set and night fell, the final planning of the sneak attack was in effect. Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Terry, Plo Koon, and Windu would lead the attack with 10 Clone Assassins each. They would go as teams. Anakin and Obi Wan, Ahsoka and Terry, Plo Koon and Windu. The plan was to sneak into the base, take the control and camera room, rescue the Younglings, and stop Derek Black.
Windu: We'll have to land some distance away from the Base so they won't detect us.
Obi-Wan: Agreed. We can make the rest of the way on foot.
The data of the Black Sun base was copied and downloaded into the data drives of the force. Each unit had their respective areas to take and where to go. With all their assignments in mind, they board their gunships and head off for the Black Sun Base.
