[CC-1010 has entered the chat.]

CC-1010: So we're stepping back 2 centuries?

CC-2224: So we're stepping back 2 centuries.

[CC-5052 has entered the chat.]

CC-5052: I’m not even the target of that bad joke, and I can feel the glare from over here

TheTrashman: You’re 2 quadrants away from him, I’m not surprised

TheTrashman: Hey, I take offense to that!

CT-0411: G o o d

[CT-3872 has entered the chat.]

CT-3872: My General said I could be in this chat as long as there’s no swearing

CC-1010: Fuck

CT-3872: :O

TasteyDroidBits: Look at what you did, Fox, you scared the baby

CT-3872: Oi, I’m older than 2 people in here, excuse you

RexyclingBin: /babey/

TasteyDroidBits: /BaBey/

TheTrashman: /bAbIe/

CC-1004: babey

CT-0411: Baby

CC-1010: You’re all revolting- but /baby/

TheTrashman: If anything, you’re all boring

RexyclingBin: >:(

[TheTrashman has changed CT-3872’s nickname to “KeeliFeelIt?”.]
[TheTrashman has changed CC-5052’s nickname to “HeteroDont”.]

HeteroDont: Honestly, I don’t know what I was expecting

FreeFoxing: WHY WAS I THE FIRST ONE??

FreeFoxing: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?????

KeeliFeelIt?: I’d like to submit the same question, please

RexyclingBin: Is no one going to bring up the fact that Wolffe used a-

RexyclingBin: What is that?

TasteyDroidBits: ÒwÓ

Ribbit: …..

Ribbit: Petition to put Wolffe Down

Ribbit: Benefits of doing so would be the reduction of receiving /THAT/

TheTrashman: Signed

FreeFoxing: Signed

RexyclingBin: Signed

HeteroDont: Signed

GreenIsOkay: Signed

KeeliFeelIt?: ….

RexyclingBin: Keeli?

KeeliFeelIt?: .3.

RexyclingBin: Vod, no

KeeliFeelIt?: ( ͡° w ͡°)

TheTrashman: N O

FreeFoxing: Yep, and that just got this comm muted

HeteroDont: /how could you, vod’ika/

TasteyDroidBits: ಠwಠ

Ribbit: I’m with Fox, you’re all cursed

[ARC-A17 has Joined the Chat.]
[TheTrashman is now Online.]

TheTrashman: wtf I didn't add you?

TheTrashman: how did you get in here

TheTrashman: did Blitz hack my comm???

[FreeFoxing is now Online.]
[TasteyDroidBits is now Online.]

FreeFoxing: lmao, this'll be great

TasteyDroidBits: To be fair

TasteyDroidBits: it's probably the easiest way to keep track of us

TheTrashman: don't try to logic away this invasion at 0300

TheTrashman: I don't have the focus to deal with that

FreeFoxing: maybe you should go to sleep, Kot’ika

TheTrashman: Pot

TheTrashman: Kettle

TasteyDroidBits: I'm going back to my strats for this upcoming deployment

TasteyDroidBits: xoxo don't die

[TasteyDroidBits is now Offline.]

TheTrashman: I hate everything

FreeFoxing: No you don't, you just need sleep

[ARC-A17 is now Online.]

TheTrashman: oh gods

FreeFoxing: Hello, 17

FreeFoxing: How's the weather?

ARC-A17: …

ARC-A17: Interesting, to say the least.

ARC-A17: As Wolffe stated, I intend to use this chat to keep track of my squad.

ARC-A17: The added benefit of making a sleep deprived Koté panic?

ARC-A17: Well,

TheTrashman: You're a Cock, 17

ARC-A17: It's a Bonus.

[KeeliFeelIt? is now Online.]

KeeliFeelIt?: Cody

[TheTrashMan is now Online.]

TheTrashMan: Yeah?

KeeliFeelIt?: I've been meaning to ask

KeeliFeelIt?: What does “The Toys and the Boys” mean?

TheTrashMan: /Well/

[FreeFoxing is now Online.]

FreeFoxing: I want you to think about the answer you're about to give very carefully

TheTrashMan: hmm…

KeeliFeelIt?: I'm guessing it has something to do with Fox as a cadet?

TheTrashMan: :)

FreeFoxing: …

FreeFoxing: Not just me, but I'm the biggest threat

FreeFoxing: Right, Codes?

TheTrashMan: eh

[RexyclingBin is now Online.]

RexyclingBin: >:( 🗡️

FreeFoxing: >:) 🗡️

TheTrashMan: D:

KeeliFeelIt?: point taken- I will no longer ask

[RexcyclingBin is now Online.]

RexyclingBin: okay i-

RexyclingBin: okay

RexyclingBin: okayokayokay

[Ribbit is now Online.]
[FreeFoxing is now Online.]
[GreenIsOkay is now Online.]

Ribbit: doing alright there, vod’ika?

FreeFoxing: shhhh, let the gears grind a little

FreeFoxing: he’ll get it out eventually

RexyclingBin: Someone with Pet ARC’s

RexyclingBin: Please

RexyclingBin: Enlighten me on on your training methods

Ribbit: ???

Ribbit: What happened???

GreenIsOkay: Hold on, let me get some popcorn

RexyclingBin: SO

RexyclingBin: You all already know that Cody n I picked up a couple shinies, a few months back, before the shit fest that was Kamino. That's not news. Those two proved themselves to be some pretty good kids, so I got them into ARC Training under Colt.

[HeteroDont is now Online.]

RexyclingBin: They just got back from their first ARC mission with Jesse and-

HeteroDont: Wait, Jesse’s an ARC???

GreenIsOkay: Yeah, Battle of Mimban; if you kept up with the paperwork- BLY -you’d know this

FreeFoxing: /who’s Jesse??/

RexyclingBin: Shut up

RexyclingBin: So my Pack of ARCs just got back from a mission.

RexyclingBin: A mission where they were gone for about a ten-day

RexyclingBin: Leaving the Shinies alone.

Ribbit: oh

Ribbit: /oh no/

HeteroDont: I’m??? Confused, what does this mean?

FreeFoxing: sighs, ARCs tend to Adopt and Corral the Shinies when the Senior Staff of a Regiment is particularly sparse, I.E. Torrent Company and it’s lack of a Company Commander

FreeFoxing: They’re called the Chaos Company for a reason.

GreenIsOkay: Learning Time with Commander Fox!

FreeFoxing: I’m going to quote Rex’ika, here

FreeFoxing: “Shut Up” -Rex c.23BBY

[GreenIsOkay changed FreeFoxing’s nickname to “FinneganFox ”.]
[TheTrashman is now Online.]

FinneganFox: ExCuSe YoU??

FinneganFox: /Why do I keep getting Names where I don’t know what they mean????/

GreenIsOkay: Thanks, I’ll take my Leave :)

HeteroDont: IDK, try looking it up on the holonet?

RexyclingBin: While those three were out, the Legion was deployed to this weird swampy planet that I don’t remember the name of. Everything there was fine, barely any Seps, until it Rained. Mud coated E V E R Y T H I N G

RexyclingBin: You know how the ships have a containment well for used or contaminated water, so that it can be upcycled?

TheTrashman: oh, I see where this is going

HeteroDont: Yeah, isn’t it standard on all Venator Class destroyers?

GreenIsOkay: It’s standard on all Atmosphere Rated vessels, both Civilian and Military, that are capable of long distance travel and/or hyperspace

HeteroDont: o

TheTrashman: nerd

GreenIsOkay: OH, LIKE YOU’RE ONE TO TALK

FinneganFox: Holonet says it's some weird red-ish land mammal?

FinneganFox: It says here that some of them live in a sort of rescue sanctuary

HeteroDont: You gonna send a Holo?

FinneganFox:...

FinneganFox: No, I don’t think I will

HeteroDont: >:0

RexyclingBin: By the gods, you all have the attention span of freshly decanted cadets

HeteroDont: mm, then get to the point

Ribbit: >:O

Ribbit: Rude

RexcyclingBin: TLDR- The Shinies took it upon themselves to take the Sludge Water and dump it into the ARC’s Berth, using some kind of hand-made containment method.

RexcyclingBin: It sat there, undisturbed, for an entire Ten-day

TheTrashman: Wait, really?

Ribbit: How did no one smell it? (I’m assuming it had a stench, based on description)

RexcyclingBin: It’s on a Bulkhead, so it seals Airtight when no one’s inside

RexcyclingBin: and yeah, it stunk so so bad

RexcylingBin: Felt like my nose hairs burned off, when Jesse showed me exactly what went down in there

FinneganFox: Hang on, aren’t You technically supposed to be staying in ARC Berthing?

FinneganFox: You are a ARC Captain

RexcyclingBin: Well, yeah, you’re not wrong

RexcyclingBin: But, as you so wonderfully pointed out to my Enemy-in-Arms [*cough* KEELI *cough*], the lack of a formal Command structure within Torrent Company- and the 501st in general -left open a lot of unused private quarters

HeteroDont: And you snatched one up? Awww, I’m so proud of you, vod’ika <3

RexcylingBin: I will eat your liver, like the shifting bastard you are

HeteroDont: <3<3<3

[HeteroDont is now Offline.]

RexcyclingBin: But no- Medical suggested the idea to General Skywalker after a, uh, emergency

RexcyclingBin: They essentially forced me to take it -.-

TheTrashman: Not gonna Lie, I’d be pretty glad to not have to share a small room with those three, right about now

GreenIsOkay: Oh yeah, definitely well worth the struggles and threats of Medical

RexcyclingBin: Needless to say, that particular group of Shinies was quite literally hunted down. They are now without Toothbrushes and the ARCs have a sparkling clean Bunk Room :3

Ribbit: WOAH, OKAY

FinneganFox: Damn, alright, I can appreciate that

FinneganFox: Mind if I add that to my list, for Idiot Shiny Moments?

RexcyclingBin: Be my guest

TheTrashman: I’m just gonna do what we’re all thinking

[TheTrashman changed RexcyclingBin’s nickname to “RexMeTwice”.]

[FinneganFox is now Online.]

FinneganFox: I have to know

FinneganFox: @FrontLine I’m in need of your Guidance

[TheTrashman is now Online.]
[RexMeTwice is now Online.]
[HeteroDont is now Online.]
[KeeliFeelIt? is now Online.]

HeteroDont: IS THIS LIFE OR DEATH, CAUSE I CAN AND WILL DIE IF I TAKE MY COMM OFF TEXT-TO-SPEACH

HeteroDont: oOH KARK- STAY AWAY FROM MY GENERAL, YOU PIECE OF CLANKER SCRAP!!

[HeteroDont is now Offline.]

KeeliFeelIt?: Is it impolite to ask why you pinged Front Line specifically?

KeeliFeelIt?: Cause we’re kinda, you know

RexMeTwice: Dying a little?

KeeliFeelIt?: Yeah…

FinneganFox: I have an entire galactic holo-map showing where each of you bastards are at any given moment, based on reports and the Low-Jacking systems the Kaminoans really shouldn’t’ve left the codes lying around for

FinneganFox: Plus 90% of all the requisition forms shuffled throughout the entire 10-systems army comes past my desk, at one point or another

FinneganFox: So you could say I had some fragment of an idea that most of you would be in Hyperspace by now or at least recovering from a battle on your assignment’s latest Night-Cycle

KeeliFeelIt?: …

FinneganFox: ...

FinneganFox: Honestly, I didn’t expect Bly to answer

TheTrashman: Ookaay…

TheTrashman: Are you doing alright, over there, Fox?

FinneganFox: Is that even a question you really want the answer to?

FinneganFox: No.

FinneganFox: Anyway-

FinneganFox: Give me your Guide to Jedi

RexMeTwice: Wait wait,woah, hold on

RexMeTwice: You don’t have a copy??

KeeliFeelIt?: Dude, that’s standard across Command Clones, you should’ve gotten one

FinneganFox: Well, I used to have one. Only got around to skimming it a little between assignments

FinneganFox: Now, it’s nowhere to be karking found, a nd ii a m lo s i n g m uy g o d a m n m i nd

[TheTrashman has sent a File into chat: HibirarJetiiParBUtreekov.pdf]

FinneganFox: I hate you, but I love you, but I still hate you and this doesn’t mean that you can just cominder Corrie quarters again

TheTrashman: bet

FinneganFox: I mean it, don’t make me install security cams in rooms, no one should have to suffer through whatever the kark you do in your bunk at night

TheTrashman: That thing outranks you on a technicality, but alright then suit yourself

KeeliFeelIt?: W O A H

KeeliFeelIt?: HOL UP, Back the KaRK UP

RexMeTwice: oh gods

FinneganFox: are-

FinneganFox: are you karking kidding me.

[Ribbit is now Online.]

Ribbit: ah, now we have enough members to make a Jedi Karking club

Ribbit: Fox you can be a honorary member

KeeliFeelIt?: I don’t see how two people make a club

RexMeTwice: Bly

TheTrashman: Bly, also kark you Ponds I don't kark my Jedi

KeeliFellIt: >->

TheTrashman: <-<

TheTrashman: I never said it was a Jedi!!

FinneganFox: Bly and Wolffe- who wishes he could, I just want this Jetii to fuck off >:(

Ribbit: we have 5 members :)

RexMeTwice: Am I the only gay who doesn't want to Kark their jetti?

RexMeTwice: cause Skywalker's practically my kid, at this point

KeeliFeelIt?: ew, now I have to compete with the string bean for attention?

TheTrashman: I DON'T KARK MY JEDI!!!

Ribbit: Mhm, sure, and I don't have grey hairs

TheTrashman: YOU LITERALLY SHAVE YOUR HEAD BALD, PONDS

TheTrashman: YOU DON’T /KNOW/ WHAT COLOR YOUR HAIR IS

FinneganFox: Hey Codes, do you think your Balls would look good on a Gold or Silver cording?

FinneganFox: Asking for a Friend

KeeliFeelIt?: I-

TheTrashman: Honestly, think the Gold would match my armor better

FinneganFox: Good, I'll go with Silver to match Rex’s

RexMeTwice: Fox

RexMeTwice: I hate you

FinneganFox: Good, now I won't have to sterilize my vibroblade

KeeliFeelIt?: Can I help?

FinneganFox: Sure :)

RexMeTwice: Actually, I hate all of you, right now

[FinneganFox is now Online.]

FinneganFox: Guys

[GreenIsOkay is now Online.]

FinneganFox: This fucking Jetii won't KaRkInG lEaVe!

GreenIsOkay: Dar

FinneganFox: Thorn even talked to it, AND IT STILL WONT LEAVE!

GreenIsOkay: Have you tried taking their lightsaber and throwing it so they have to fetch it like a Massiff

FinneganFox: no i have not...

[TheTrashman is now Online.]

TheTrashman: 9/10 would not recommend

TheTrashman: I tried that with mine and he just looked at me with sad Tooka Eyes

TheTrashman: And then Lt. Waxer brought it back all excited

GreenIsOkay: Interesting.

GreenIsOkay: Why is it only a 9/10?

TheTrashman: Cause sometimes he actually chases it

FinneganFox: Well- okay, Dar -but I highly doubt I could even get Exon’s Cadet-Snatching claws on it

FinneganFox: Vos is such a karking snake that I can’t even detain him with a platoon of BARC troopers

FinneganFox: He just does that stupid Jetii acrobatics osik and laughs

GreenIsOkay: Again, Dar

TheTrashman: Would you like to trade Jetii?

TheTrashman: Mine just got captured again…

FinneganFox: w a t

TheTrashman: Yeah, he just walked over to the enemy General and said “Can't we talk this out like civilized beings?”

[RexMeTwice is now Online.]

RexMeTwice: How many times has that been, this tenday?

TheTrashman: Too karking m a n y

GreenIsOkay: Honestly Fox, just do a Circling Maneuver in a closed off space.

GreenIsOkay: Green Company sometimes has to do that to force our Padawan to get Out of Medical.

RexMeTwice: Can confirm- Effective in the tactical use of cornering a Jetii Commander and dragging her TO Medical

FinneganFox: ….

FinneganFox: As idiotic as that sounds,

FinneganFox: I think it might actually work?

[Commline Chat: “ARCS and Darks”.]
[GreeIsOkay is now Online.]
[FinneganFox is now Online.]

GreeIsOkay: So Fox.

GreeIsOkay: Did you ever manage to get rid of that troublesome Jedi?

FinneganFox: Which one?

[TasteyDroidBits is now Online.]

TasteyDroidBits: “which one”

TasteyDroidBits: What do you mean “which one”?!

FinneganFox: huh

FinneganFox: You guys haven't been core side for a while…

TasteyDroidBits: uh, YEAH

GreeIsOkay: Specialty units are kind of like that.

FinneganFox: The 104th yeah I get it, the search and rescue and spec ops stuff takes a long ass time

FinneganFox: But the 41st?

FinneganFox: You guys didn't start out as a specialty unit

FinneganFox: Unless I missed something when I last calibrated my algorithm…

GreeIsOkay: Hmm…

GreeIsOkay: When was the last time you slept, Fox’ika?

FinneganFox: Don't you karking “Fox’ika” me, Brain Wave

FinneganFox: And I'm not telling you

TasteyDroidBits: That tells me its been at least 36 hours

FinneganFox: KARK YOU WOOF!

TasteyDroidBits: *Wolffe

FinneganFox: *Furry

TasteyDroidBits: >:O

GreeIsOkay: Anyway, to answer your question:

GreeIsOkay: 41st became a specialty unit when High General Yoda took partial control of us and formed the “Elite Corps” portion.

GreeIsOkay: Aside from playing support for the front liners and running reconnaissance, the Elite Corps has essentially evolved into glorified Jedi Watchers for when one of them decide to run off from the primary force.

TasteyDroidBits: Gods, that sounds like a headache

FinneganFox: HAHAHAHA

TasteyDroidBits: wah

GreeIsOkay: You alright there, fox??

FinneganFox: Take your 3 jetti and multiply it by the whole Republic Senate.

FinneganFox: That is what I, and my Command team, deal with every single day.

FinneganFox: GODS it's even worse when they decide to go off world

TasteyDroidBits: Isn't there, like, the Senate Guard?

TasteyDroidBits: Don’t they do things?

FinneganFox: Yeah- YOU’D THINK THEY’D DO THEIR JOBS

GreeIsOkay: You aren't going to succeed in distracting from the main question

FinneganFox: damnit

TasteyDroidBits: Yeah- what do you mean you have multiple jedi?

FinneganFox: on a technicality the entire Jetti Temple is under my express domain

TasteyDroidBits: >->

FinneganFox: <-<

GreeIsOkay: …

FinneganFox: Fine

FinneganFox: The Guard is not under any form of Jedi command or leadership or whatever they like to call it

FinneganFox: I- nor any of my Command Team -do not have a Jedi

FinneganFox: General Vos just won’t go away and leave us alone

FinneganFox: CMO Exon however

TasteyDroidBits: wait wait wait

TasteyDroidBits: Hold up

TasteyDroidBits: How does your CMO have a Jedi and you don't?

FinneganFox: I'm getting there you impatient fuck

GreeIsOkay: ah, Just as polite as when you were a cadet.

FinneganFox: YOURE BARELY 3 HOURS OLDER THAN ME

GreeIsOkay: And what a blissful 3 hours they were.

TasteyDroidBits: HOW

FinneganFox: wolffe

TasteyDroidBits: DOES YOUR CMO

FinneganFox: wolffe please

TasteyDroidBits: HAVE

TasteyDroidBits: A

GreeIsOkay: Gods, why am I in this chat

TasteyDroidBits: JEDI!!!!!!

[RexMeTwice is now Online.]

RexMeTwice: wOLFFE!

RexMeTwice: SHUT UP!

[User: RexMeTwice : has muted notifications.]
[RexMeTwice is now Offline.]

TasteyDroidBits: MAKE ME, BLONDIE

[TheTrashman is now Online.]

TheTrashman: Rex has a migraine.

TheTrashman: I can make you >:D

TasteyDroidBits: DO IT, COWARD

[Server Admin has Muted user: TasteyDroidBits : for : 8 hours.]

TheTrashman: You may continue with your interrogation, Gree

TheTrashman: Rex is also curious but can’t stand any form of light right now

TheTrashman: I’m relaying spark notes for them

TheTrashman: …

TheTrashman: Well, in a minute cause they just burrowed themselves into their Limmie Ball hoodie

GreeIsOkay: You guys are on the same ship?

FinneganFox: Turn off the lights, see if you can get some plain crackers and water

TheTrashman: Already done! 👍

TheTrashman: And yeah, the 212th and 501st are collaborating on infiltrating some strongholds within the next tenday in the Ryloth system

TheTrashman: it’s a pain in the shebse BUT WE’RE WORKING ON MAKING IT LIVEABLE

FinneganFox: Livable?

TheTrashman: Spend a week on the front with us and you’ll understand

FinneganFox: I don’t think I want to…

GreeIsOkay: FOX!

FinneganFox: AH!

GreeIsOkay: You won’t get away from me!

FinneganFox: You’re literally lightyears away from Coruscant

FinneganFox: I think it’s safe to assume that I can easily “Get Away”

GreeIsOkay: >:(

TheTrashMan: Fox, tell us why your medic has a karking jetti- Rex, but pitifully

FinneganFox: …Thanks Rex…

GreeIsOkay: TELL US!

TheTrashMan: TELL US

TheTrashMan: vod… -Rex, from inside their hoodie

FinneganFox: FINE

FinneganFox: I have to go get him.

GreeIsOkay: CHEAT!

FinneganFox: Perish.

[FinneganFox is now Offline.]

TheTrashMan: Did he just get away?

GreeIsOkay: I think he just got away…

TheTrashMan: You’re both idiots -Rex

TheTrashMan: Thanks Rexy

TheTrashMan: They just kicked me, winced at the light from my comm, and hid back into their hoodie

GreeIsOkay: You probably deserved it.

GreeIsOkay: How are they doing? [If that’s the right one]

TheTrashMan: [You got it- They/Them been the favorite for the past couple of tendays]

TheTrashMan: CMO Kix just left the recreation room we’re holding out in. He gave them an injection of Caffeine and some kind of Migraine med thing

GreeIsOkay: Was it eptinezumab?

TheTrashMan: I have no idea

GreeIsOkay: It was probably that or some kind of mixture of pain medication.

GreeIsOkay: My Padawan Commander gets them frequently, and CMO Mint usually helps her.

GreeIsOkay: I always carry extra meds for her when we’re on campaign.

TheTrashMan: Is that the one I met on Geonosis?

GreeIsOkay: No, that was CMO Jackie.

GreeIsOkay: Mint stays on the ship.

TheTrashMan: huh

TheTrashMan: Their teeth scare me

[FinneganFox is now Online.]

FinneganFox: I found him

GreeIsOkay: You actually came back?

TheTrashMan: HA, nice

TheTrashMan: Hold please, we’re relocating to Rex’s bunk

TheTrashMan: Shift change is leading a lot of vode to the recreation room

[TheTrashMan is now Offline.]

FinneganFox: K

GreeIsOkay: Alright.

FinneganFox: Yes I came back- I actually keep my word

GreeIsOkay: I have so many examples of you doing exactly the opposite of that.

FinneganFox: whatever

FinneganFox: So, in my CMO’s words; he needed a Jedi for research purposes.

GreeIsOkay: …

GreeIsOkay: That’s it?

GreeIsOkay: That can’t be everything.

FinneganFox: Do you really want me to translate everything?

FinneganFox: That’ll be a pain in the shebse

GreeIsOkay: Just hand him the comm.

FinneganFox: Absolutely NOT

GreeIsOkay: Coward.

[TheTrashMan is now Online.]

TheTrashMan: Why do I always have to break up fights every few minutes

FinneganFox: Cause Gree is being mean to me >:(

GreeIsOkay: You’re being uncooperative >:(

TheTrashMan: You’re both being Tubies

FinneganFox: Was that Rex?

TheTrashMan: No.

FinneganFox: >:O

GreeIsOkay: >:C

TheTrashMan: Hush, Tubies

TheTrashMan: What the kark does “Research Purposes” mean?

GreeIsOkay: Well, technically-

TheTrashMan: Not from YOU

FinneganFox: I’m gonna say “Collaboration in the studies of the Vode Species and Bodily Development” and leave it at that.

TheTrashMan: w a t

GreeIsOkay: OOOOOOohh okay.

TheTrashMan: again- wat?

FinneganFox: Ask Rex

GreeIsOkay: Lol, yeah, Ask Rex!

GreeIsOkay: Specifically the “Bodily Development” portion.

TheTrashMan: hold please

FinneganFox: This’ll be great

GreeIsOkay: Do you think They’ll go in detail?

TheTrashMan: this is rex

TheTrashMan: im not saying osik

TheTrashMan: kark you guys

TheTrashMan: dont try and destroy his simple ways

FinneganFox: Don’t worry, I’ll send him a Learning Module for Nat-born Tubies lol

TheTrashMan: …

[TheTrashMan is now Online.]

RexMeTwice: I just gotta know

TheTrashMan: Don't do it, Rex

RexMeTwice: Its just a question, Cody

[FinneganFox is now Online.]

FinneganFox: What are we not telling Rex?

TheTrashMan: Someone thought it’d be a great idea to give skywalker a padawan

FinneganFox: o h

RexMeTwice: Who the FUCK

[Ribbit is now Online.]
[GreeIsOkay is now Online.]

Ribbit: what the hells did I just walk in on

RexMeTwice: THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA

GreeIsOkay: I don't know, but I’m having too much fun with this

RexMeTwice: TO GIVE THE 501ST

RexMeTwice: A LEGION KNOWN FOR DANGEROUS MISSIONS

RexMeTwice: WITH A BARELY OLD ENOUGH BABY JEDI

TheTrashMan: Am I allowed to sign off for this?

FinneganFox: No, if I have to suffer from notifications so do you

TheTrashMan: >:(

RexMeTwice: ANOTHER BABIER JEDI

GreeIsOkay: I have a guess

RexMeTwice: PLEASE

GreeIsOkay: hmm

GreeIsOkay: No, I don’t think so

RexMeTwice: GREE

RexMeTwice: GEDET'YE

RexMeTwice: I NEED REVENGE

GreeIsOkay: I can be convinced

Ribbit: Hold on, Mace just walked into the office and signed

Ribbit: Give me like 2 minutes

[Ribbit is now Offline.]

TheTrashMan: It was probably a collective decision by the Jedi Council

TheTrashMan: You know full well that they just do things sometimes

FinneganFox: The Small Green Creature was on planet today

FinneganFox: He tends to be conniving, according to Thire

GreeIsOkay: Hmm, so you can see it too?

FinneganFox: His evil cackle and Leg whacking stick/cane thing?

GreeIsOkay: More of the “I’m a meddling little Ba’buir and no one can stop me” vibe

TheTrashMan: That’s kind of hard to miss, Gree, even I can see that

FinneganFox: It’s not like he’s trying to hide it or anything

RexMeTwice: Was it the Meddling Frog?

RexMeTwice: I’m not allowed to hit that one

TheTrashMan: Do NOT Hit a Jedi

RexMeTwice: I’m gonna hit a Jedi

TheTrashMan: NO

[Ribbit is now Online.]

Ribbit: I talked to Mace

GreeIsOkay: Any update?

FinneganFox: Yeah, are we right?

Ribbit: Unfortunately

Ribbit: It’s framed as a Council Decision

FinneganFox: Doubt

Ribbit: BUT

Ribbit: It was the Frog.

RexMeTwice: I'M HITTING THE FROG

GreeIsOkay: DO NOT HIT GENERAL YODA

FinneganFox: Hit the Frog, I want to see what’ll happen

TheTrashMan: That's it

TheTrashMan: I’m out

TheTrashMan: I’m not taking over your Battalion when they Court Marshall you

RexMeTwice: Good cause I have RIGHTS

FinneganFox: We’re not classified as Sentiants let alone Civilians of the Republic- You Don’t Have Rights

RexMeTwice: I HAVE IMAGINED RIGHTS

TheTrashMan: Delusional Rights

[TheTrashMan is now Offline.]

FinneganFox: sigh

FinneganFox: Rex

FinneganFox: Thire is asking why you want to hit General Yoda

RexMeTwice: CHILD NEGLECT AND ENDANGERMENT

GreeIsOkay: I don’t think that’ll hold up in a court of law

GreeIsOkay: In the perfect world that we actually get to trial

FinneganFox: Hm, yeah okay I can see that

Ribbit: Ugh, please I don’t want to think about governmental bodies and law and technicalities

Ribbit: It’s bad enough that I have to hear about all the Jedi Council meetings

RexMeTwice: Damnit, Baby Jetti is jumping places she should NOT

[RexMeTwice is now Offline.]

GreeIsOkay: Bye, I guess >->

[FinniganFox has changed RexMeTwice 's Nickname to: Jetti'ikaSitting.]

GreeIaOkay: Oh that's a good one

FinniganFox: Thanks, I'm here all tenday

Ribbit: By the way

Ribbit: Mace said that General Koon was “Despondent with Yoda’s choice in Master for his foundling, but neglected to comment against it”

GreeIsOkay: That sounds like Windu too was “despondent” with the choice

FinneganFox: Gree, why am I getting a message about a green Jetti’ika harassing my CMO

GreeIsOkay: I don't know, why are you asking me?

FinneganFox: You seem to be the resident expert in

FinneganFox: Green Jedi

GreeIsOkay: …

GreeIsOkay: I can't decide if that's Racist towards my collective of Jedi

GreeIsOkay: Or Battalion-ist towards my battalion's paint

Ribbit: I’m going with Yes, all of the above

GreeIsOkay: okay- 1. Rude

GreeIsOkay: 2. Does it count as Racism if we, as Clones, technically don't have Rights?

GreeIsOkay: The only ones policing us is the Guard- I wouldn't really count the Jedi as "Enforcers"

FinneganFox: Just come pick it up

Ribbitt: I- I think racism is racism no matter the status of an individual?

GreeIsOkay: Hmm, I'll take that into consideration

GreeIsOkay: I’m missing 2 out of 3 Jedi right now, you’ll have to be more specific

FinneganFox: Speaking forwards, Shoulder height, Tattoo-Freckle-thing

Ribbit: Commander Offee???

FinneganFox: Is that the Medium Green One's name?

FinneganFox: I just keep hearing Exon try and get his minions to translate his curse words accurately

GreeIsOkay: Osik, I’m on the way

GreeIsOkay: Barriss is Studying Mando'a- he better not succeed in with the curse words >:(

[GreeIsOkay is Offline.]

FinneganFox: ....

FinneganFox: I'm gonna tell him to get more creative

Ribbit: Fox, why ;-;

KeeliFeelIt?: …

KeeliFeelIt?: i forgot you were in here

ARC-A17: Well?

KeeliFeelIt?: No- well, not yet at least

KeeliFeelIt?: I think General Di is thinking about it, but we’ve been posted on the frontline holdouts for awhile

ARC-A17: Shame.

ARC-A17: I think you would do good with a Padawan Commander.

KeeliFeelIt?: You think so?

ARC-A17: Can’t really go wrong with a whole Battalion of combat medics.

KeeliFeelIt?: I-

KeeliFeelIt?: You got me there

KeeliFeelIt?: Some of the boys were hearing the talk, and now they’re trying to hint at how “prepared” and “responsable” they are for a Padawan Commander

ARC-A17: Have they succeeded?

KeeliFeelIt?: No, General Di is blinder than a stack of rocks when someone wants something

ARC-A17: Hm.

ARC-A17: Have the men send in a requisition form to him.

Chapter Text

Rex cursed under his breath as Ahsoka rushed head on into the fray of blaster shots. He ducked back behind the sparse cover of the exploded building, barely saving his own head. His squad quickly took crouched steps forward towards him, ready to leap back into the battle to follow their head strong commander into the fray.

“Commander! Get back here-” Rex tilted his helmet just enough to see past the blasted wall. The green sabers of his ad’ika dancing away within the confused mess of B1 and B2 battle droids. Ad’ika? Gah, no time to address that mess right now. “Osik, I blame you for this, Cody.”

There was a clatter of plastoid behind him just as another Seppie tanker round tried to take their heads off.

“Osik, “ The Vod that joined him was alive, then! Good. “Cap, what’s taking the twins so long?”

Rex gritted his teeth. “Hells” He did a quick sweep of the squad of men with him, checking to see if they were all still standing in some capacity. “Kark it all-” he turned back to the battlefield and waved the men together, “FALL IN, BOYS, WE’RE BACKING UP THE COMMANDER!” With the rallying call, Rex sent the voice recording to his di’kutla command squad chat and vaulted over the remnants of their cover. Running into the blasted hells that was this damn tanker front.

Sprinting into the fray of blaster bolts and exploding shells, Rex led his small squad of men into the chaos caused by their teenage padawan. A carved path of Battle Droids and Super droids lay in her wake; doing nothing to deter the volley of cannon fire screaming above them. Rex grit his teeth as he shot down more and more Battle Droids who dared to look in their direction.

“‘Soka!” He called out through their comms and his external speakers. There was no breath for him to swap over to one or the other, at this point. The men can deal with it. “Do Not go underneath the Tanks!” Enunciating the statement by taking out the Commander of the tank in front of them, just as Tano lept on top of it.

“Thanks Rexter!” The teen used the force to launch the now defunct droid out of the top of the tank before dropping down inside of it. Mechanical screams could be heard just over the telltale sounds of a lightsaber blending through metal bodies. The tank shuttered and slammed against the ground. Dead where it once stood.

Ducking behind more cover, a partially intact wall of some kind of store front, this time; Rex and his squad set up defensive positions. Using the opportunity to cover Ahsoka’s flashy retreat. Taking out the final Super battle Droids that were standing between them and the rest of those damned tanks. With the break in the bombardment, Rex holstered his left blaster and called up the channel between Fives and Echo.

“Timeline, boys? We’re getting chewed up a bit out here.” Rex gritted out as he attempted to cover Tano as she sprinted back to where they were hunkered down, moving over slightly to allow the padawan to slide behind their meager cover.

“Well, you could say ‘Please’, Cap” Fives, the karking di’kut, never knew when to stop.

“...” Rex paused blasting and ducked further behind the crumbling wall. Taking the moment to give Ahsoka a quick once over. From the brief look, she was just dust covered and had a loosely untied boot lace. Huh, she came out of that a little better than expected. Granted he had been fully expecting there to be nothing left of her after that foolish charge into oncoming bolts.

“Are you still there, Cap?”

“Echo.” Pulling over Ahsoka’s leg- and ignoring her protesting yowel- Rex re-tied her boot lace with a secure knot. One that not even she would be able to untie easily with all those fancy Jetii jumps.

“Sir?” Echo piped up on the comm channel.

“Smack him, please.”

The reward was ever worth it as Fives yelped not even a moment after the request was stated. Ahsoka, pouting about having her boot fixed, stuck her tongue out and made a face at the Captain. Huffing a laugh under his breath, Rex pulled out a beat up data pad with a thick case and pulled up the active deployment map, showing all the men scattered across the immediate area. Two lonesome dots appear moving at speed together behind enemy lines. Making a point to Re-enable the external speakers so that Ahsoka could tell he wasn’t ignoring her.

“What’s the Timeline, Echo?”

“One left sir!” Echo panted over the commline, “The tank the Commander took out let us save a few explosives.” The dots stopped just short of the last tank in the line, further back than all the others acting as a sort of Command Station. “The cover fire is doing great in distracting them from us.”

One dot surged ahead of the other, moving quickly past the tank.

“Fives is setting the last one now.”

Rex handed the tablet to Ahsoka as she continued to watch the pair of dots move across the screen. He peered back over their cover at the line of tankers. The blaster fire doing just enough to prevent the rest of either side's deployment from advancing. Only Rex’s squad and two other scout squads made it up this far, with all the chaos.

“Give us a show then, boys.”

The Captain disconnected from the call, as both Fives and Echo signed off. He looked across the mess of a battlefield before them. It was a miracle that the platoon had made it this far in the first place. It certainly helped having the Commander showing up when they needed her. Speaking of.

Ahsoka was still crouched with the squad behind their waning cover. Watching the tablet closely as the pair of dots bolted away from the tanker line. Gods, every day it hit him just how young she really was. Maybe having an Ad’ika wouldn’t be too bad.

A low rumble swept across the battlefield. Flashes of Explosions in the near distance moving closer and closer as each of the tanks that had been bombarding them exploded in a shower of sparks. The men started to let out whoops of joy as they worked on picking off the last of the B1 droids, as they attempted to retreat from their own tanks. Rex stepped out from behind their small mount of cover to gauge the results for himself. In addition to the tank that So’ika took out, the spread of 9 total tankers lay in smoldering ruins.

“Enjoy the show, boys?” Fives’ cheeky voice came across the All-Call channel that all of them were connected too. The cries of “Hell yes!” “Good Show!” “Talk about Wonder Twins, am I right?!” drowning everything else out. Rex, and the smart vode around him, took the moment of reprieve and cheers to turn down their fellow soldiers volume and move on with clean up. A quiet connection request blinked on Rex’s hud.

“Rex here, go ahead.” He holstered one DC and hit a button on his helm to focus the new channel connection. Taking the moment to stand and keep an eye out as more of the men came out from their dug-in fox holes and lackluster cover locations to start picking through the rubble.

“Echo here, sir.”

“Got a report for me, Echo?”

“Yes sir. Fives and I managed to take out the rest of the enemy tanks; we even recovered the head of that Command Droid we found earlier.” Echo rattled off the report plainly, but his satisfaction of a job well overdone was bleeding through. The Captain smiled at the statement.

“Well done. And quite the show too. Next time, you two should work on moving a bit quicker to get them all rigged up. Can’t let Commander Tano keep taking out the lead tank before you can blow it sky high.”

“Sounds like we’ll be hitting the training halls more often, then, sir” Echo’s smile could be heard in his voice. Clearly looking forward to anything Rex could run them through. “Shame though, we have some extra ordinance and happened across an interesting cache up here.”

A small image appeared on his hud: a few boxes of what could only be an ammo crate of some kind, and Fives proudly holding up a Seppie Rocket Launcher. Rex moved past his cover a few meters, quickly taking in the situation as some of the men gave shouts of ‘Incoming!’ Rolling up to them fast were a pair of squad decimating Droidikas. They unfurled and immediately started laying down a new round of devastating blaster fire.

The Captain cursed, quickly changing to external comms in order to shout a “Pull Back! Droidikas!”. He didn’t bother with taking pot shots as a blur of orange leapt over him and the sounds of lightsabers hissing against bolts covered his shebse. Fully ignoring the bolt that singed his kama and the dust that kicked up behind him as he skidded back into the, now, too familiar pile of rubble for cover. “Commander, get back over here!”

“Kinda busy, Rexter!” So’ika brushed off his order as she continued to cover the retreating men. Redirecting as many shots as she could back into the damned droid’s shields. Rex curses to himself and swaps back over to the call with Echo.

“You were saying? Looked like some fancy ordinance, from the holo.” Rex peeked to check the progress on So’ika. She was still holding strong and, so far, keeping the Droidikas from advancing. The rest of the men attempted to assist in weakening the shields with their returning volley of fire. He marked the 2 droids on the shared mission map with little red dots. “New target objective: Let’s see if those rockets have enough firepower to help out Commander Tano with these Droidikas.”

“Consider it done, sir.” With a quick click, Echo hung up on Rex. Not long after, dual shots of red Seppie rockets blast down towards the pair of Droidikas. Blasting both of them heavily as their shields finally drop. Ahsoka taking full advantage of the dust cloud, and the droid’s confusion about the ‘friendly fire’, by rushing forward and cutting them both down with a final few slashes.

A new connection request blinks on Rex’s hud. He takes a breath of relief as So’ika steps out of the dust cloud with a small hop and connects to the comm.

“Fives here, Cap. Sorry about the mess, that’s all we got over here.”

“It was just enough,” He watches the lingering dust fall around the sparking bodies of the droids. “Start making the loop back to us.”

“You got it!” Fives clicks off the call without so much as a goodbye.

With the droids finally down, Rex does a quick scan of the field with his viewfinder before stepping out of cover for the final time. If there was another line hiding somewhere, he’d eat his left boot. Making a b-line for So’ika, she disengages her blades and bounds up to the captain.

“Didja see me out there, Rexter? That tank fell like Nothing, and those Droidikas-” she struck a dramatic pose with her saber hilts. Much like how she was just using them to deflect all those blasts. “They tried, but they went down like butter.”

Rex huffed a laugh at her antics. He’s glad that So’ika didn’t get hurt in the skirmish, but her rushing in like that nearly gave him a heart attack. He stopped short of getting smacked in the face with the back of her hand, as she recreated the fight. Already tired enough from the long mission, he pushed Tano off balance with a quick shove at the side of her temple- avoiding the sensitive leku. She squealed as she was over balanced and took a few dramatic steps to get it back.

“That’s for running straight into oncoming fire and ignoring my orders.” Rex glared down at her as she finally sheathed her saber hilts and tried to look ashamed for her actions. “You should already know better than to be so reckless.”

“But Skyguy goes out like that all the ti-”

“Ahsoka.” Rex raises a hand and stops her mid sentence. “What You must do and what Anakin does are vastly different. Two completely separate teachings.” Placing a hand gently on her shoulder, Rex silently urges her to look at him. “You’re actively learning how to be a Jedi while touring in this war. I’m just as responsible for your safety as the General is- if not more so.” He pulls her in for a tight hug and rests the chin of his helmet on top of her head, being mindful of her montails. They stand like that for a moment. Watching as the men are finishing with the scavenging and cleaning up the mess left behind from the battle.

“Are you angry with me?” Tano’s small voice pulls Rex out of his stupor.

“No ad’ika, not really.” He breaks the hug, pulling a chem wipe from the small med kit on his belt and starts to wipe at the build up of grim on Ahsoka’s face. Pointedly ignoring her little grunt of annoyance. “For a moment, yes, but I was more afraid for your safety.” Finishing with the worst of the grime, he holds both of her shoulders firmly and gives her a hard look he knows that she can feel through his visor.

“Don’t ever do that to me again.”

KamaHater: Wait, woah, that's a little far there!

EwChildren: No Buts!

EwChildren: Do it or I’ll Comm him myself

KamaHater: ;-;

Buir-17: Huh.

TasteyDroidBits: What, you didn’t expect that to work?

Buir-17: No, I thought it would've been Kenobi with more sway.

KamaHater: oh, he does, Logically

EwChildren: >:(

KamaHater: But I'm more scared of Rex and what he can do to me

Buir-17: Isn’t he on a different ship than you?

KamaHater: Do you know just how integrated the 501st and 212th are?

Ribbit: They’re not allowed to participate in prank battles cause they’ll either Team Up Together or Rip Each other apart. There is no in-between.

EwChildren: Did you put the Kama on???

KamaHater: I am I am- gimme a second geez

KamaHater: There, sent

EwChildren: Good

TasteyDroidBits: Hey hey woah, hold up

TasteyDroidBits: You sent it in Dms?

TasteyDroidBits: I think we deserve to see the picture of upset Cody

Ribbit: I second this motion

Buir-17: I, too, would like proof of this.

Buir-17: I remember having to wrangle you into it many times on Kamino.

KamaHater: Yeah, and I still don't regret biting you every single time >:C

[RexMeTwice sent and image: A holo of Cody standing in front of a mirror in the ‘fresher. He’s only in his Backs, lower armor and a kama- making an obscene upset face for the holo.]

TasteyDroidBits: AH AHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

Buir-17: I’m saving this. It’s going on my wall for Fordo to see, as well.

KamaHater: How DARE!

EwChildren: Tell Fordo I said hi!

Buir-17: Of course.

EwChildren: ✨😊❣️

Ribbit: I would LOVE it if you sent all the updates you get from the 212th

KamaHater: DO NOT!

EwChildren: I can be bribed 😈

KamaHater: NO

Buir-17: Huh.

Buir-17: I just noticed this.

Buir-17: Who changed my name?

Ribbit: …

KamaHater: …

TasteyDroidBits: Gree did it

Buir-17: Interesting play on words.

Ribbit: oh no

[WetDroidMan is now Online.]

WetDroidMan: ew

BlyBlyBly: Well damn

BlyBlyBly: Anyway

BlyBlyBly: Monnk, you might actually get this

WetDroidMan: Shoot

BlyBlyBly: My Jedi is wearing /real clothing/

WetDroidMan: …

EwChildren: aaaand that's a problem because?

BlyBlyBly: Less a problem and more…

WetDroidMan: Holy shit

BlyBlyBly: Miraculous.

WetDroidMan: Really?

WetDroidMan: Teach me your WAYS!!!

WetDroidMan: HOW DID YOU DO IT

EwChildren: great, now i'm more confused

BlyBlyBly: That's the thing

BlyBlyBly: I don't know why she’s wearing real clothing. It’s usually all tube tops and leggings and simple bands wrapped around her leku.

WetDroidMan: See, Mine will wear the robes for meetings and formal things- but they immediately come off the minute the holo shuts off

WetDroidMan: My CMO was thinking that Fisto was allergic to fabrics and natural fibers, until we finally got his records from the Temple

BlyBlyBly: And?

WetDroidMan: He’s not

BlyBlyBly: So he’s just… what- naked?

WetDroidMan: Half Naked, technically

WetDroidMan: His pants usually stay on

BlyBlyBly: >->

[FinneganFox is now Online.]

FinneganFox: Why is there talk of half naked Jedi on my comm?

FinneganFox: I didn’t sign up for this

EwChildren: Honestly, no idea, i'm just along for the ride like you are

BlyBlyBly: Does your Jedi regularly wear robes?

WetDroidMan: Yeah, prove to us that they’re normal and /we’re/ the weird ones

EwChildren: … I mean, An’ika usually wears Armored robes or wanders in his sleep wear

EwChildren: So’ika wears a tube top for most occasions, but Jesse has thankfully convinced her to start considering other outfits for both Deployment and casual spaces around the men

EwChildren: Unfortunately, I would consider both Him and So’ika Mostly Normal

FinneganFox: Oh we’re talking about all our Jedi?

BlyBlyBly: How many jedi do you freaking have?

FinneganFox: Literally or Technically?

BlyBlyBly: ಠ_ಠ

EwChildren: I’m not sitting through another one of these, Fox

FinneganFox: Coward

EwChildren: ಠ_ಠ

FinneganFox: Ew, don't make that face at me

EwChildren: ಠ_ಠ

FinneganFox: Fine

FinneganFox: No, “My” jedi dress like normal Jedi in a Jedi-like fashion

FinneganFox: Che is all flowy w her robes, whenever I have the bad enough luck to see her

FinneganFox: and Vos isn't part of the Guard, no matter how much he says he is >:(

BlyBlyBly: i forgot you had Vos…

FinneganFox: I DO NOT have Vos >:(

FinneganFox: But yeah Vos and his weird tank top thing only explain the Tube Top, not whatever kind of crisis you’re having now

FinneganFox: You never explained why it was bad that she’s choosing to wear real clothes

BlyBlyBly: CAUSE ITS??? UNEXPECTED?!?!?

BlyBlyBly: Wouldn’t you be shocked if one of your Jedi suddenly started wearing nothing?

FinneganFox: Jokes on you, Vos already basically wears nothing

BlyBlyBly: wat

WetDroidMan: Wat

EwChildren: That’s it, I'm out! I don’t care if Kote wants gossip and drama- I refuse to feed his addiction

[EwChildren is now Offline.]

WetDroidMan: Coward

BlyBlyBly: I'm not SHORT!

EwChildren: Prove it, shortie

WetDroidMan: How Tall are you, Bly?

BlyBlyBly: YOU FREAKIN NERF HERDER

WetDroidMan: lol, yeah, short

WetDroidMan: I'm 6’3”

TasteyDroidBits: huh, taller than i remember

EwChildren: /damn/, making me actually feel short today huh

[Ribbit is now Online.]

WetDroidMan: what? I’m average for my battalion

TasteyDroidBits: i’m literally the average height for the majority of us

TasteyDroidBits: you are NOT average height, monnk

WetDroidMan: Prove it, how tall is everyone in here

Ribbit: Gods

WetDroidMan: What??

Ribbit: I forgot you were karking Tall tall

WetDroidMan: I’m not Tall tall, I’m AVERAGE!!!!

WetDroidMan: Half of my men are taller than me!

WetDroidMan: I am Regular Tall.

TasteyDroidBits: Monnk

TasteyDroidBits: I’m 6 feet tall

WetDroidMan: waht

TasteyDroidBits: That’s Average Height for the vode

WetDroidMan: /WhAt

Ribbit: Technically you could be 6’1” with the hair

TasteyDroidBits: True true

Ribbit: I’m on the other side of this scale- 5’7”

BlyBlyBly: Yeah youre the same height as me and YET YOU TRY TO LORD OVER ME

TasteyDroidBits: Tactical advantage

BlyBlyBly: I don't think hair works that way but OkAY I gUeSs

WetDroidMan: Can I ask if Ponds is the shortest of us?

WetDroidMan: Like, those of us in this chat?

EwChildren: Sure, you can ask

WetDroidMan: Will I get an answer?

EwChildren: I haven't decided yet

Ribbit: Rex 2in shorter than me

EwChildren: Traitor

BlyBlyBly: ooooooo get ‘em

WetDroidMan: …

WetDroidMan: Does this make me a literal Ori’vod?

EwChildren: Hells no.

EwChildren: I-

BlyBlyBly: Congrats on finding your Gay, vod

Ribbit: oookay, and?

KamaHater: You know what

KamaHater: I think I finally had enough of you guys

BlyBlyBly: I think you're full of shit xoxo

[BlyBlyBly changed KamaHater ‘s nickname to “CodeMe1Last<3”.]

CodeMe1Last<3: Bly-

FoxYou: Really?

FoxYou: A break up song reference?

FoxYou: That's it?

Ribbit: weak name change, 4/10

BlyBlyBly: Kark you, back to Cody’s new Gay

Ribbit: it's not really new….

CodeMe1Last<3: it's not like that guys

CodeMe1Last<3: he just-

CodeMe1Last<3: Look, he said "I'm honestly really impressed with your combat skills, Dear one, perhaps we should spar, sometime, together"

CodeMe1Last<3: How am I supposed to respond to that?

FoxYou: I'm not going to say it.

EwChildren: accept the offer????

FoxYou: I'm /really/ not going to say it now.

Ribbit: Did you punch another droid???

BlyBlyBly: Did you do the pole-twist-disarm thing?

Ribbit: You know Helix hates it when you do that

BlyBlyBly: that move was super cool, though

FoxYou: meatheads, that's all I'm surrounded by

FoxYou: Fine, I'll say it

CodeMe1Last<3: Be my Guest

FoxYou: He's into you, you complete thick-headed di'kut.

EwChildren: haha I'm sorry, /what./

BlyBlyBly: o hohohohohohohoho

BlyBlyBly: I'm not the only one now

CodeMe1Last<3: I- no that can't be right

Ribbit: mm hmhmhmhm

Ribbit: I'm looking forward to this

BlyBlyBly: You catch his Lightsaber yet, Vod?

Ribbit: I’m sure your collection of Cloaks has increased ten-fold

BlyBlyBly: Pretty sure the General wouldn’t mind holding your Blaster

Ribbit: That’s one way to get the Jetii to wear armor

BlyBlyBly: I don’t want to imagine how your strategy meetings go

Ribbit: So are you karking him for access to a real bed, or do you really like his facial hair that much?

CodeMe1Last<3: By the Gods, give your balls a tug, you tit karkers

Ribbit: Technically, Bly’s the only one who Karks

Ribbit: And has access to tits, now that I think about it…

BlyBlyBly: Gods, I WISH!!

BlyBlyBly: I get all the points for being straight- AND NONE OF THE BENEFITS

FoxYou: Why do I hang out with you freaks

Ribbit: Bly, that is something that I seriously did not need to know and now I need to bleach it out of my brain, thanks

BlyBlyBly: Coward

EwChildren: Guys, really??

EwChildren: So what if there's a Jetii out there with a crush on one of us

EwChildren: We're just meat droids to then anyway, they'll get what they want

EwChildren: It's none of our business on who Codes wants to kark or who wants to kark him

EwChildren: So shut the kark up on all this thirsting Banthashit

FoxYou: W O W

Ribbit: o h, o k a y…

CodeMe1Last<3: Woah Rex, where'd all this come from?

[EwChildren is now Offline.]

CodeMe1Last<3: /Damnit Rex/

FoxYou: sighs, He's right you know

BlyBlyBly: I'm sorry for simping, Cody

Ribbit: Yeah, same here

Ribbit: Love who you want to love, we won't push you <3

CodeMe1Last<3: As much as I appreciate it, guys, that's not the problem here

CodeMe1Last<3: If what Fox says is right, then what do I do

CodeMe1Last<3: I don't like my General like that

BlyBlyBly: uh

Ribbit: If you're saying you're not at least a little bit Gay, then I have a newsflash for you Codes

Ribbit: I still have your data pad from when we were cadets

CodeMe1Last<3: Ponds

CodeMe1Last<3: I will end you

CodeMe1Last<3: but no, that's not what I'm saying

CodeMe1Last<3: I'm not in love with my General. Kenobi is a great guy, yeah, but I can't like him like that

CodeMe1Last<3: It’s not just cause he’s my General, I just-

CodeMe1Last<3: It’s not??? There???

CodeMe1Last<3: you know???

BlyBlyBly: Nope

Ribbit: Not in the slightest :)

FoxYou: I get it.

CodeMe1Last<3: you do?

BlyBlyBly: /you do/

FoxYou: Yes, you assholes >:(

FoxYou: You see him as a best friend (or a complete nuisance, in my case), someone you can count on and talk to about most things

FoxYou: But not someone you can bare your soul to or see being in a relationship with, no matter how many vode gush about their supposed hotness

FoxYou: Surprisingly, that's Vos for me

FoxYou: Kenobi is your Vos

FoxYou: This is just something you gotta straight up tell him, they won't get it otherwise

Ribbit: yeah, Jedi are usually pretty thick in the head when it comes to this sort of stuff

BlyBlyBly: I never told you guys this, but the only reason Aayla and I kinda “got together” was because she visited me in Medical while I was totally and completely 100% drugged up to my eyeballs

BlyBlyBly: according to Patchwork, it took 20mins of explaining for her to even get the hint I had a huge massive crush on her

BlyBlyBly: apparently she thought I was gay like the rest of you sorry karks

CodeMe1Last<3: hmm…

CodeMe1Last<3: thanks guys I'll,

CodeMe1Last<3: I'll see what I can do about this

[CodeMe1Last<3 is now Offline.]

FoxYou: O Shit Wait You're Cody

CodeMe1Last<3: Can I assume there was a gauntlet swap, with the armor upgrades?

FoxYou: Uh, yeah, that seems the most likely

FoxYou: If we had gotten those armor upgrades in the first place

Cryptid: What? Those are standard!!

Cryptid: You should’ve gotten them by now

FoxYou: HA, yeah, “standard”

FoxYou: The Guard doesn't always meet standard

Cryptid: wait- Then how did you end up with Fox’s Comm?

ILivedBicth: What happened, while I was tracking the Malevolence.

BlyBlyBly : …

CodeMe1Last<3: …

Ribbit: sigh, Codes if you won’t tell then I will

[CodeMe1Last<3 is now Offline.]

Cryptid: Something about Skywalker and blankets??

BlyBlyBly : w a t

Ribbit: Send a screenshot, I'm a little rusty but I can understand Rexisms

[Cryptid sent an Image: It's a private texting feed with the following messages-]

Rexi<3: You know what's fun?

Keelix <3: Hm?

Rexi<3: Scruffing your jedi when they do something stupid, even though they're 2ft taller than you

Rexi<3: You know what's not fun?

Rexi<3: When said jedi uses that height difference to scoop you up like a stuffed Tooka, plop you down in a sea of blankets, and ask you why you're sad

Rexi<3: Remind me why I claimed Skywalker again?

Keelix<3: Cause he's tall and can reach high shelves

Rexi<3: Osik, you right

[Keelix <3 took a Screenshot.]

Rexi<3: Bitch

[End Image]

ILivedBicth: Okay, now I'm confused

BlyBlyBly : Well, he's clearly sad about something

BlyBlyBly : Do you think it has something to do with what happened??

Ribbit: Obviously

Ribbit: hmm, His last messages in here we're kinda along a similar tone

Ribbit: I don't think he read-up before sending them

Cryptid: Well, I know that Rex gets attached to people easily

Cryptid: Look at me and Skywalker, for instance

ILivedBicth: He's clung to one of you karking di'kute

ILivedBicth: Go make a private group

ILivedBicth: Clean this shit up

ILivedBicth: And get our Rex'ika back in here
