Conspiracy! After repeated setbacks on the planet Anaxes, an elite clone squad is deployed to investigate the Separatists' tactical advantage. This special unit, called the Bad Batch, infiltrates Admiral Trench's Cyber Center to steal a strategic algorithm capable of predicting the Republic's every move. What our heroes found, was a live signal from the ARC Trooper known as Echo, a clone long believed to be dead.

Anakin Skywalker, Captain Rex, Sergeant Hunter, and Corporal Slash all walk out onto the landing pad of the Republic's main base on Anaxes.

Hunter: Word is the general staff isn't completely behind this mission.

Rex: I admit, the idea that Echo is still alive is a long shot.

Anakin: I'm sure the Council will approve the mission. Just remember the primary goal is to learn how the Separatists are predicting our strategy, whether it's Echo behind it or not.

Slash: If you ask me, this whole thing practically has "trap" written all over it. But we'll have your back. Even if it's just to say "I told you so", before we all die.

Anakin: Just make sure you're ready, if we get the go-ahead from General Kenobi.

Rex: If you're certain he'll approve the mission, why wait? Let's get going.

Anakin: First, we have that thing to do.

Rex: (confused) Uh, what thing?

Anakin: You know.

Rex: We don't have time for that, sir.

Anakin: Yes, we do. (nods to the left)

Hunter: Well, we'll just let you two sort this out. (salutes them with two fingers)

Slash: We'll be on the ship with the rest of the team for when you're ready to go.

As the two clones leave, Slash glances back as Anakin and Rex head for the barracks.

Slash: Think they're a thing?

Hunter: Slash!

Slash: What?! It could happen! A Jedi and a clone? We've seen stranger and you know it!

Hunter: (insistently) Just shut the hell up and get on the ship.

Slash: Fine! (mumbles to himself) Maybe Tech has some statistics to that theory.

(A/N: AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY FOR THE RECORD: I. AM. STRAIGHT. ONLY INTO WOMEN! JUST TRYING TO MAKE SOME FUNNY INNUENDO! I APOLOGIZE IF I'VE OFFENDED GUYS WHO LIKE GUYS AND WOMEN WHO LIKE WOMEN!)
