Barriss x Caleb one-shots

Master Ti Part 2

Rushing to the aid of Fives, (Shaak, Caleb and some clones dashed towards the embryo development room. Igniting lightsabers and fortifying weaponry.

"Drop your weapon."

"Master Jedi I know what's going on. I have the evidence. The Jedi instructed that inhibitor chips be implanted into us at birth. But Tup's malfunctioned. That's what made him lose control."

"Where is the evidence?" She demanded bemused.

"I have it right here." Came a droid, "As you can see the chip taken from clone trooper Tup is black and rotting. Indicating a malfunction of some sort."

"What caused the malfunction?"

"It doesn't matter. The fact is, Tup's chip malfunctioned, and it drove him insane. These chips have to be removed, otherwise the entire republic army could be compromised."

"There is no proof of that. This is an isolated incident. besides when you removed trooper Tup's chip he died."

"Well that's not gonna happen to the rest of us."

"And how do you know that."

"Because I removed mine."

"Here is clone trooper Fives' chip, as you can see, there is no malfunction in either him or the chip."

"By removing your chip, you are a threat. Master Jedi we must terminate this trooper immediately."

"I am not a piece of hardware. I'm a living being!"

"You were created in our laboratories. You are Kaminoan property."

"Correction. Technically he is property of the republic."

"That does not change the fact that he is a danger, and must be terminated."

"I believe that's for me to decide. Fives, you are coming with me to Coruscant. I think it's time you told your story to the chancellor."

"Master Jedi, I beg you to reconsider."

"The chancellor wanted all the data on Tup to be sent to Coruscant. We're sending the data: the tumour, and Fives along with it."

"Then I am coming with you."

"As you wish, doctor."

"Master, may I object. I feel that the Kaminoan should not come along." Leaning in, "She may be evil. Look at everything..."

"Caleb, don't."

" 'Look at everything' what?"

"Forgive my intrusion, master."

(Coruscant)

"Master, may I get some air?"

"What? Now?"

"Y...Yes."

"Fine, you may go. But hurry back."

Where he discreetly loped into the vents. Rapidly crawling into the chancellor's quarters. Aware of the miscellaneous squabbling from their convictions.

"Master Shaak Ti, it is good to see you again. I trust you've kept this matter extremely confidential."

"Of course, chancellor."

"Ahh, good. So this is the clone that has caused so much alarm."

"No. No you drugged me. She..."

"There there soldier, don't strain yourself."

"Sir." He retarded, posing to attention.

"Guards, let him down please."

"Now trooper, what brings you before me?"
