"Skako Minor!?" Arc replied. "Aren't the Techno Union neutral in the war?"

"They claim neutrality but we all know they are very well not neutral in this war captain." Reyes replied.

"So what's the plan?" Arc asked as they boarded a shuttle.

"We'll rejoin the fleet and then make the jump from Kamino back to the core worlds and hit Skako Minor." Reyes explained.

"And if the Techno Union really is neutral?" Arc asked.

"Then we have another enemy to face." Reyes replied.

"You don't seem overly worried about having another enemy if we're wrong." Arc noted.

"I look at it this way Captain. Everyone is an enemy till proven otherwise." Reyes explained as she climbed into the shuttle.

"And us clones?" Arc asked as he followed her.

"You've all proven your loyalty to the republic." Reyes replied. "If only some of the others in the republic could do the same."

Arc sat in a seat in silence as Reyes told the pilots we were aboard and ready to go.

"Understood admiral." A pilot replied. "Good to see you captain."

"Like wise pilot." Arc replied.

Arc looked at the two pilots and the color on their armor and then at his own. The color was identical to his but he he hadn't issued anyone else an order to color their armor. Arc removed his helmet and scratched the side of his head some while Reyes had an amused look on her face.

"Fire Ball. Why don't you tell the captain what unit your from." Reyes suggested.

"CT-7072 or Fire Ball from the 180th legion reporting for duty sir." Fire Ball said.

Arc looked over at the other pilot.

"And him?" Arc asked.

"CT-1492 or Haze from the 180th legion." Haze replied.

"I never issued out orders for the armor painting." Arc stated.

"No sir." Fire Ball replied. "Corporal Jetter and admiral Reyes did sir."

Arc looked over at Reyes who seemed amused. Both Fire Ball and Haze were chuckling from the cockpit at Arc's confusion.

"How many people did you issue this out to?" Arc asked.

"The entire legion." Reyes replied.

"Why!?" Arc demanded.

"It's time we show are colors Captain." Reyes replied.

"Tell me more about the mission." Arc said trying to change the subject.

"We're invading Skako Minor." Reyes explained. "We've received intelligence suggesting there's a separatist lab there."

"Will we be on our own?" Arc asked.

"Yes." Reyes replied.

"So what's the plan?" Arc asked.

"Your regiment will be joined by blood regiment and devil regiment." Reyes explained. "One regiment will go to protect the poletec village. The other regiment will stay on the capital ship."

"So we're taking two regiment that aren't fully restored to take on a possible separatist lab while a third regiment is left to protect a nearby village and the fourth regiment is left on the ship." Arc repeated.

"Correct. Though 5th fleet security will be amongst the fleet so we can call on the third regiment if need be." Reyes explained.

"Admiral. Captain. We're dropping out of hyperspace." Haze said.
