GEONOSIS - BASE OF OPERSTIONS - LANDING AREA - DAY

The second battle of Geonosis was coming to an end, and all the factories on the planet have been destroyed. All that is left to do is to capture and arrest Poggle the Lesser.

Ahsoka and Barriss are both going over to a gunship, with Rex and Wolffe are escorting them, sending them off.

Ahsoka: (tiredly) Sorry to leave you here, guys, there's still a lot to do.

Rex: You two have been through a lot, get some rest. We'll take care of things down here.

Wolffe: Yeah, General Kenobi and General Revan, when he's all healed up, will take it from here.

Barriss: Speaking of the General, how is he doing?

Wolffe: He's a tough one, A little time in the bacta tank, and he'll be back on his feet.

With a nod, Rex and Wolffe watched as the gunship lifted off, carrying their comrades away from the war-torn planet, as it disappeared into the horizon. Rex and Wolffe start walking away towards the command center.

Wolffe: Good kids.

Rex: They've got a bright future ahead of them, but it's hard to think about that when they've already been through so much at such a young age.

Wolffe: You know, General Revan doesn't really want them to be in battles like these.

Rex: I can understand that, but they're skilled warriors, and they're determined to make a difference in the war.

Wolffe: They're also determined to protect each other, and that's what makes them special.

Rex nodded in agreement, as they made their way back to the command center.




TIMESKIP - GEONOSIS - BASE OF OPERSTIONS - COMMAND CENTER - DAY

In the dimly lit command center, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation. Revan emerged from the bacta tank, his wounds partially healed. Driven by an unwavering determination, he had prematurely left his recovery chamber upon hearing whispers of Luminara Unduli's proximity to discovering Poggle the Lesser.

As Revan entered the bridge, the holographic projectors flickered to life, revealing Luminara's visage. As he entered, he see's Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ki-Adi Mundi standing in front of Luminara's holographic image. She had miraculously survived a treacherous storm and was now in communication. Obi-Wan turned his piercing gaze towards Revan, his eyes reflecting a mixture of surprise and concern.

Obi-Wan: (voice a low murmur) Revan, what are you doing here?

Revan: I heard that Luminara was close to finding Poggle.

His voice devoid of emotion.

Revan: I had to act.

Obi-Wan hesitated for a moment, his mind racing. Revan's wounds were still fresh, and his presence on the bridge could be a liability.

Obi-Wan: (voice low and measured) Revan, your wounds are still healing. Your presence here could jeopardize our mission.

Revan: (voice firm) I understand the risks, but the stakes are too high. Poggle must be stopped at all costs.

Obi-Wan sighed, knowing that Revan's mind was made up. They both turn to Luminara's holographic image and tune back to the conversation.

Mundi: Are you sure he went into the temple?
