During one of the outer rim sieges, the Jedi had soon begun taking back territory from the separatists..but not everything had been going to plan. One of the Jedi masters had taken a battalion of clones to Felucia to take a patrol around the perimeter, But one certain clone had turned on the Jedi, and shot the master dead. "Good soldiers follow orders.." whispered CT-4653, as he kept saying this line over and over again, "kill all the Jedi.." soon the trooper added. None of the clones knew why so they arrested CT-4653 and suggested sending him back to their home planet of kamino for testing on the trooper..

The commander of the battalion questioned the trooper. "What's gotten into you soldier? Why did you shoot the Jedi?" CT-4653 responded with "I-I don't know general...I blacked out.." the commander looked confused at the clone and then questioned again "what do you mean you 'blacked out' we saw you with our own eyes open fire on a friendly Jedi" the other clones all begun to spread out around the venator class star destroyer on its way to kamino, while the commander and CT-4653 remained in interrogation. The room was silent, you could even hear CT-4653's heavy breathing as he has no idea what he has done. "I'm going to ask you again, soldier, why did you open fire on a friendly Jedi?" He said this with a very stern tone. CT-4653 responded with "I've already told you..I blacked out..." the clone then starts shaking again.. "good soldiers follow orders. Good soldiers follow orders. Good soldiers follow orders." CT-4653 repeated this over and over again, the commander gave him a look of confusion and worry as for why he was acting this way, they needed to figure out what was going on, and fast before this clone kills more.
