okay now i just have to see this attempted drugging and kidnapping of the jedi (reporttosenate) Moddy, honestly, I’m living for this
Gently
tucking in the old master with
what looked like an old Jedi robe,
Thire gave them the thumb up as Yoda just snuggled down into the bunk
with
a grumbly snorting noise.
This
was almost going too easy Cody would say however it helped that they
had certain members onboard with the idea as Skywalker carefully
checked on Obi-Wan with an efficient hand that
had calmed the man down when he started squirming in discontent,
instantly relaxing under Anakin’s familiar touch and voice.
It
almost made Cody feel guilty for taking advantage of the subconscious
trust but this was for the best, it was the best they could do to
ensure the survival of the Order.
They
had even managed to get the temple of Eedit up and running in the
week since the discovery of something terribly wrong in the Force
thanks
to one, enlisting the vode that were out there and two, convincing
several Jedi to work with
them, though one or two had to be kept silent.
And
by that they were kept away from the comms to alert the council by
the vode outright sabotaging the comms of certain ships and that was
so going to come back to bite them Cody felt though to be fair, need
must.
Cody
still had no idea what was going on in
the Force he had to admit
but every time the sentence ‘The Senate is trying to kill the Jedi
Order’ was issued, all members of the temple who
heard it, from youngest to oldest, had
a minor fit and forgot what was said.
Variation
of the sentence also got a reaction and then they forgot and
if pushed about it, they got to Obi-Wan’s level of nose bleeding
and having a small seizure fit.
So
far the following variations
of the statement
had been reacted to.
The
Chancellor is trying to kill the Jedi.
The
Senators are trying to slaughter
the
Jedi.
Senators
are murdering the Jedi.
All
variation containing the act of killing or permanently snuffing out
the Jedi along with the ruling body of Senators and all staff from
the Rotunda got a reaction from the Force and Cody had to wonder if
whoever the kark the Sith thing in the Senate was knew about the
reaction, if
something was pinging in on a sensor each time something was said and
someone reacted.
He
doubted it, if they did, they’d know how many was reacting lately
and investigated it
and
no one suspicious or from the Senate had been around the temple, of
that the vode had made sure.
Letting
out a deep breath, Cody moved to settle down at his General’s side
on the bunk, nodding to Skywalker. “You should head up to the
cockpit sir, these are the last Jedi coming off Coruscant.” He
murmured quietly.
Standing,
Anakin frowned before sighing and nodding. “I imagine the creche
masters, younglings and Archivists has almost reached Eedit as it is,
Madam Nu might even have started already on shelving things,” He
mused tiredly before heading for the door. “Yeah okay, you look out
for them Cody.” He stated tiredly.
Watching
the man go, Cody glanced around.
Rows
upon rows of tea drugged or
outright darted Jedi
were settled into bunks with a few clones scattered around keeping an
eye on their
Jedi as they slept peacefully. These were the last ones to be
brought, the ones who had to be forcibly removed from Coruscant,
being drugged down.
Though
how they got Oppo Rancis and Kit Fisto, Cody had no idea.
Those
two would have sensed the drugs through their extra sensory organs,
he was sure of that.
‘Maybe
they wanted to leave but didn’t know how and we were giving them a
way out when all they know is how to stay and fight?’ Cody wondered
to himself as he picked up Obi-Wan’s frankly cold hand to hold,
rubbing gently before grunting as he felt them enter hyperspace.
Instantly
there was shifting around, minor noises of discontent from sleeping
Jedi before settling again and Obi-Wan outright rolled onto his side
towards Cody, seeking the warmth the other was exuding even in his
armor.
Smiling
slightly, Cody stroked his General’s hair back. “…Stupid
reckless Jedi, I swear if it wasn’t for us, you’d all fade away
under the Senate’s pressure. What
would you do without us?”
He murmured fondly as Obi-Wan took his slow and steady breaths, his
beard hairs stirring much to Cody’s amusement.
