Republic outpost overrun! The Jedi have lost all contact with the clone security force stationed on the bleak snow-covered planet of Orto Plutonia. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, accompanied by dignitaries from the nearby moon of Pantora, are sent to investigate the disappearance of the clone troopers on the desolate and forbidding landscape.


ORTO PLUTONIA - OUTPOST - DAY

Revan, Obi-Wan and Anakin accompanied by Chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi from Pantora, to the snow planet of Orto Plutonia, and are sent to investigate the disappearance of the clone troopers on the desolate forbidding landscape. The gunships land on the snow and open up. Revan, Anakin and Obi-Wan were wearing coats cover their battle Armor.

Obi-Wan: And this is the planet's tropical zone.

Anakin: It's not Tatooine, that's for sure.

Revan: I can't tell if what's worse, being too cold or being too hot. 

Anakin: Captain Rex, have your men survey the area. Place as many sensor beacons as you can before dark! 

Rex said "Right away, sir. Unload that gear! Let's move!

After a few minutes, the three Jedi stood next to each other, watching Chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi exit a gunship and approach them.

Cho: General Kenobi.

Obi-Wan: Chairman Cho, Senator Chuchi. I suggest you wait here until we can secure the area.

Cho: I respect your judgement, General Kenobi, but I will go where I choose. This is sovereign Pantora territory.

Anakin: And I thought this planet was uninhabited, and therefore, it's not aligned.

Cho: Our moon of Pantora is the only civilization in this system. I'm the one who asked the senate to protect this planet. This wasteland belongs to us." 

Obi-Wan: With all due respect, Chairman, this is for the senate to decide, not us.

Cho: Ah, but the Jedi report to the senate, which is Senator Chuchi of Pantora.

Revan looks annoyed by this.

Chuchi: Technically speaking, Master Jedi, the Chairman is correct. Since the planet is uninhabited, the moon of Pantora reserves the right to continue as its protectorate.

Obi-Wan: Point taken, Senator. Anakin, stay here with the Senator and the droids while we secure the base.

Revan, Obi-Wan, Chairman Cho, Rex and the clones walked into the outpost and they found clone helmets on staffs and walk over to them.

Obi-Wan: Strange, any ideas why there placed like this?

Revan: Well, it could be a sign of disrespect, respect or a warning.

Rex: I don't get it.

They make it to the control room.

Cho: It must be Separatists.

Revan: I don't think it is, this doesn't look like a thing that the Separatists would do.

Cho: We don't know for certain that it isn't Separatists, but I think it is.

Revan looks annoyed at the ignorant chairman.

Obi-Wan: I have to agree with Revan on this, I don't think we're dealing with Separatists. These computers look like they haven't been touched.
