I looked at Plo-Koon who shook is head.
"Are you sure this is something you are prepared for?" He asked.
"Master Piell was the one who saved me from Alderaan" I said. "Now it's my turn to save him."
"Very well" he said.
Anakin walked in with Gree as I nodded.
"As you are aware, the Citadel is their most isolated and impenetrable detention facility" Plo said. "No one has ever escaped."
"There's a first time for everything" Anakin said.
"Yes, there is" I said.
"Their security has prevented our probes from obtaining recent reconnaissance so we've been forced to construct a crude map based upon the data from the archives" Plo said.
"The data is extremely old, the map will be difficult to rely on" I said.
"So we're essentially going in blind" Anakin said.
"Beg your pardon, General but how do we know Master Piell is still alive?" Rex asked over a hologram.
"The Separatist won't dare kill Master Piell until they have what they need" I said.
"He obtained the coordinates of a secret hyperspace lane known as the Nexus Route which travels into the heart of both the Republic and Separatist homeworlds" Plo said.
"They could prove vital in maneuvering our forces deep into remote Separatist sectors" I said.
"Or the enemy could use them to slip through our defenses and attack Coruscant" Anakin said.
"These hyperspace lanes are of immense interest to both our sides and could tip the scale of the war to whomever is in possession of them" Plo said. "That is all."
Anakin and I followed Plo-Koon out of the command center and down the hall.
"Based on the archive schematics, we've narrowed it down to three possible locations they could be holding him at" he said.
"My biggest concern is infiltrating their outer security" I said. "The life form scanners will not be easy to fool."
"I've got a thought about that" Anakin said.
"Great because your thoughts are always spectacular" I said.
Cal and Ahsoka ran towards us.
"Master, sorry I'm late" Cal said.
Ahsoka smiled at Anakin who rolled his eyes.
"Just heard about the briefing. We're going to rescue Master Piell, right?" She said.
Anakin stopped walking as the three of us looked at them.
"You two have kuch to discuss" Plo said.
We walked away as Cal kept looking over.
"Don't even ask" I said.
"I didn't even say anything" Cal said.
"Yet" I said. "It's very dangerous, Cal."
"But you could use my help" he said. "What if something happens?"
"I don't care if anything happens to me but I care if something happens to you. Losing you is a risk I'm not willing to take" I said. "That's what missions like this are, you either do or die. So you are staying here with Master Plo."
He nodded as I ruffled his hair, smiling. I walked down to the hangar, smiling seeing Echo and Fives.
"Look what we got here!" I said. "My favorite ARC troopers."
