3rd Person POV
Cruiser, Overkill, Fives and Sentry were on their way back to their General's room to check on her with a medical droid. They get to her room and they begin an advanced scan, Sentry checking it.
"So far, everything looks normal. *notices something* Wait a second!" he says before going to another monitor and typing.
"Sentry, what is it, brother?" Cruiser asks.
"Something I have never seen in another Jedi, General Shan has somehow developed a tumor-like growth in her brain. I haven't seen anything like this in any Jedi, ever." Sentry replies as he works.
"Than, what is it?" Fives asks, hand on his chin in worry for his wife as he thinks.
"I don't know and I won't be able to know without a biopsy." Sentry replies as he types.
"You mean you're going to take it out of her?" Overkill asks in surprise.
"Not without help. We're going to go find the doctors in charge of General Shan's care and have them help me." Sentry replies, before they put everything back to the way it was and they go to find the doctors in charge of Vetera. They find them in a room where the doctors have meetings but they stay out of sight when they see the Chancellor in there and they could hear what was being said,
"General Vetera Shan seems to only be deteriorating. I believe it best if we end her misery and suffering, so she may rest in peace and the Jedi can focus on ending this war." the Chancellor says, making Fives clench his fists silently along with Cruiser's, Sentry's and Overkill's.
"But Chancellor, our oath is to save lives, not give up on them!" one of the doctors says, since their oath was to do everything in their power to help and save people, not to end them.
"If the Jedi are worried about Vetera's condition, they will not be able to focus on the war in order to end it. And Vetera is suffering, you should end her pain." the Chancellor says.
"...*sighs* Yes, Chancellor." another doctor says, knowing that wasn't a suggestion, but an order. Fives, Cruiser, Overkill, Sentry and the medical droid find an empty room where they can talk.
"I don't believe it! *shoves the medical bed* They're gonna kill her!" Fives says.
"It is the logical choice." the medical droid says.
"No, no! Our General was not meant to be disposed of like this, not after everything she's been through!" Cruiser says.
"Perhaps...she was." the droid says in what was as close to a gentle tone as it can mange. Fives turns away and slams his fists onto the medical bed, trying not to cry and blow his cover that he was married to Vetera, while Overkill punches a wall, Cruiser turns away with an angry grunt and Sentry clenches his fists.
"Jedi Knight Vetera Shan will be terminated so others like her can survive and not have to go through this." the medical droid says.
"There aren't others like our General!" Cruiser says before the men all sigh, trying to calm down.
"Vetera doesn't have to die. Sentry, you found a tumor-like spot. It's the cause of all of this. That's the only thing in this whole mess that makes sense." Fives says.
