Anakin exited his ship and proceeded quickly into the prison. Eventually coming across Fox at the cell blocks, he went up to the window and did everything asked of him.
*Set his weapons down and all that stuff, you know.
He knew Fox and Vos had been seen around each other a lot more lately, though he decided it best not to pry given how Fox's temper was, according to Rex.
Fox then took him into the cell blocks and to Letta's cell, and then left them to talk alone.
Letta turned to him from where she was seated.
Anakin frowned.
"Start talking Letta."
She sighed.
"I was told if I ever needed help, you were the one to contact."
Mm, who told her that?
He raised a brow.
"Really? Why?"
Letta frowned back at him.
"There are some Jedi within your order who believe, like some of us, that you should have stayed out of the war. One of these Jedi agreed so strongly that they came to me and my husband with the plan to bomb the temple in protest, and we agreed."
She paused and looked down in some fear.
"But the idea to feed Jackar the nano-droids was not mine."
Anakin was intrigued now. So did that mean...
Oh no...
He walked over to her and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Letta, you have to tell me, which Jedi did this?"
Letta looked up at him, a slight twinge of hope filling he eyes. She looked back down then sighed.
"It...it was..."
Just as she was about to say who, she started choking. Then she got lifted into the air.
Anakin reached out, trying to help her.
"Letta!"
It was no use, ultimately she was choked to death and collapsed back down onto the floor.
Fox and a couple other clones rushed in after that.
Anakin shook his head.
"S-she was about to tell me who was really behind it...I don't know what happened."
One clone checked for a pulse, Thire, he recognized him.
"She's dead sir."
Fox looked around for a minute and then shook his head.
"Ok. I can't say I blame you general Skywalker, but all the same, you're under arrest."
He then raised his blasters.
Thire swung around to look at Fox.
"Fox, you can't be serious?!"
Fox nodded.
"I'm always serious."
"General Skywalker couldn't have..."
Fox merely shook his head.
"He was the only one with the capability to do so."
Anakin was in shock, how could they think he did this?
Sure he didn't particularly like Letta for obvious reasons, but he'd never harm her.
Thire said nothing further, but grumbled something about Fox having a certain something stuck up a certain somewhere.
*Needed a comical moment, ok, don't judge me, 🙂.
Fox clearly didn't hear it.
"Now Thire, place Skywalker under arrest or I will have you arrested for insubordination."
Thire tensed briefly, but ultimately gave in and did as told.
"Sorry sir."
Thire sounded so guilty. Anakin didn't blame him though, and was barely able to contemplate what was going on right now.
"Not your fault."

Safe to say that when word of Anakin's arrest got to the Jedi temple, and the 501st, on came the chaos.
