The Neutral Inventor

The Experiment

Aslan's POV:
I walked Rex to the couch, "may I scan you? You can say no, it's completely your choice." I reassured sitting beside him. He looked down at his lap thinking hard. "If it keeps my brothers and generals safe. I'll do it." He says after a few moments. I grab my scanner from beside the couch and held it to his head. "You will feel tingling, but try to stay still okay? When I'm done I will find out what is wrong. While you go back to bed okay?" I asked him with a gentle smile. He relaxed his body, and closed his eyes. I scanned his head, and sent it to my computer. "all done, now get some sleep you have a busy day tomorrow." I said as he got up and stumbled his way to bed. I walked to the lab, sat down in my spiny chair, and opened the scan and saw a chip in his head. I zoomed into the chip and mad another screen with a circle spinning. "Search order 66." I demanded getting a little angry. There was nothing absolutely nothing about order 66. I closed my eyes rubbing my head. Then a memory flashed in my head,

Flashback:

I sat on the floor chained and in a red beam. I was tired, weak, and feeling hopeless. "The specimen is lucky to be with us instead of out there in the world." "Yes master he really is. Without us he would be... executed by order 66." "Yes, as soon as I get the chosen one on ours side using a little manipulation. It shall begin." They laughed and left me alone in my cell. 'The chosen one is in danger.' I thought weakly as I fainted.

Flashback ends:

I gasp and fell out of my seat. Making the chair fall and crash. I heard footsteps coming towards me. I breathed heavily, holding my head to ground myself. I felt someone hold my shoulders making me flinch hard. I took a slow deep breath, and closed my eyes, pulling my hair to feel something. "Order 66." I whispered, "the chosen one can not fall to darkness." I mumbled fast in panic. I got up quickly scaring the person near me and tapped the chip and made it bigger making it surround me. "If I send a small electrical current... no that would hurt them. Maybe invent a contraption that extracts... no that won't work either." I pace around mumbling possibilities. "Hey, what in the force happened, why are you so frantic." I heard the stern voice of Anakin say. "One of your soldiers had a nightmare of them attacking you, I believe everyone can see the future in there dreams so I looked into it. They have a chip in their head, and I had a flashback and what he said is true. A powerful man is going to manipulate the chosen one and then he is going to have the clones kill all the rest of the Jedi using the order 66. I'm trying to find a way to disable the chip, without hurting the clones." I summarized while still pacing. "Who is going to manipulate the chosen one." Master Kenobi asked looking desperate. "Darth Sideous , he is an old man, likes to wear dark cloaks, good with politics, and manipulative, he  also pretends to be weak to lure people in. That's how he got me." I whimpered the last part as my eyes started to water. He looked at me then looked at Anakin and jerked his head to the chair, the Jedi got it and rolled it to me. They sat me down and rubbed my back as I held my head mumbling ways to help the clones. 'I can't use a taser, can't blast them, maybe...' I thought.

I looked up sharply and looked at my surgical machine. "That's it! I can use my machine to take out the chips, that way no one will die!" I yelled hoarsely but happily standing up. "But I need to test it before I use it on them." I said looking around, and finding something to use. I smack my head, why didn't I think of this before. I run to my office ignoring the shocked Jedi's shouts. I slam open the door and scan myself. "Ah-ha there is a chip!" I smiled happily. 'Wait why do I have a chip?' I thought curiously. I ran back to the lab and laid down on the surgical table. "What are you doing?!?" Ahsoka questioned panicking.

"I'm testing my machine nothing to worry about. Please go back to bed you have a busy day in a few hours." I reassured smiling softly at her. "I want to be here in case anything happens." She said stubbornly. "Okay. Your masters are on the way." I said laying down and activating the machine. The bed moved into position and the machine activated the laser, it cut through the skin easily but had trouble with the bone I hissed in pain. "Ahsoka turn up the lasers power!" I shouted biting my tongue to not scream. "What do I push!" She asked panicking. "Calm down, breath. Go to the computer and push the plus sign 5 times okay?" I said calmly through the pain. I have made shortcuts on my computer so anyone can use it. I can hear the clicks of the key 5 times. I stopped feeling the pain I relaxed my body. "Good job young one, I'm so proud of you." I feel pressure come out of my head making me gasp loudly. "What's happening?" Ahsoka placed her hand on my foot in concern. "I'm alright just surprised is all. No need to panic." I said calmly and warmly. She sighed in relief still holding my foot tightly. I smiled warmly at the machine. I can feel it sewing my head shut. "And I'm done. I still need to work on a few things but you were such a big help." The bed slid out and let me sit up. "Your bleeding!" Ahsoka yelled panicking.

I hug her close to me, "I'm alright little one, a little blood never hurt anybody, this is what happens when I experiment, but usually I'm alone doing this." I reassured the best I could. I heard soft footsteps coming this way from a shaded corner. "Nice of you guys to finally come out." I said letting Ahsoka go. Anakin looked at her proudly and Master Kenobi looked at me worried, proud, fearfully, and curiously. I walked to my tool box and got a rag. I cleaned my face with it and sat in my chair. Anakin took Ahsoka out of the room while Master Kenobi stared at my every move. Rolled to the computer and turned up the laser 2 more times, and makes the machine heat up the needle before meeting the skin. 'That should do it,' I thought plugging the machine to the computer for this last update. I poke the upload button and let it do its thing.

"I need to ask you a favor." Master Kenobi requested. "What do you need Master Kenobi?" I said turning to him to show my full attention. "I need you to not watch us depart." He demanded. I felt a pain in my chest but ignored it. "I understand and will stay here in my lab or in my office." I nodded agreeing to his terms but the pain in my chest not disappearing. He nodded in relief, "thank you for understanding Aslan, your connection and bond with my soldiers and the padawan will distract them." The master Jedi informed. "understood, I will not go for their sakes." I said he nodded and left the lab leaving me alone wonder when the pain will go away.
