ARIMIYA'S FINGERS TAPPED AGAINST THE COCKPIT CONTROLS WITH BOTH BOREDOM AND IMPATIENCE. She turned in the co-pilot's seat to look over toward Ahsoka. "Doesn't it bother you that they left us behind?"

Ahsoka simply shrugged. "Master Kenobi did have a point about keeping the group small. It'll be easier for them to remain unnoticed and get information."

Arimiya's eyes slowly narrowed. "You're still on thin ice after the citadel... aren't you?"

Ahsoka nodded her head. "Yeah, Master Skywalker wasn't pleased afterward, and I'd rather not push my luck now."

"I mean... what's the worst that could happen if we borrow a ship and do a bit of recon on our own?"

Ahsoka frowned. "They could put us on a suspension or possibly even look at kicking us out of the order if things go extremely wrong."

She didn't see the downside of either option, especially since she believed that if the council believed that Kenobi couldn't control her then maybe they'd reassign her. Although, the suspicious look on Ahsoka's face warned her not to discuss the matter any further or she may not be able to make it to the planet's surface after all.

She stood from her seat and stretched. "I think I'm going to head back to my quarters—"

"Hold on," Ahsoka interrupted her as she noticed that one of the lights on the console began to flicker. She flipped the switch beneath the light and the hologram flickered to life. The image was distorted but Count Dooku's voice was immediately recognizable.

"General, take care of the south factory where droid productions have temporarily been stalled. I will send my apprentices to take care of the eastern laboratory, the assassin will handle the west, and I will send droids to handle the other disruptions."

Arimiya frowned. "Well now we have to go down there."

Ahsoka hesitated but slowly nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah... Yeah, we've got to go."

"I'll get the guys." Arimiya nodded her head and quickly exited the cockpit.

"I'll get the ship." Ahsoka nodded her head again and walked off in the opposite direction.

The door to the Shadow Squad's quarters hissed open and she stepped inside without hesitation. "Who's ready for some action?"

"Finally!" Burst exclaimed and shot up from his bunk, hitting his head in the process.

Bits, on the bunk above, also shot straight up. The startled look on his face was quite amusing and Arimiya failed to hold in her laugh. Ace raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I was certain that we had very strict instructions to remain on board the cruiser."
