Missing in action!

Anakin Skywalker's heroic droid navigator R2-D2 was lost in battle.

When a desperate search fails to locate R2, Anakin is forced to take on a new navigator, R3-S6.

Now the Jedi embark on a dangerous new mission, to find the secret listening post.

Meanwhile, R2-D2 has fallen into the hands of a vile droid smuggler and is on his way to General Grievous, who will surely plunder the Republic secrets hidden within him.

After a small change over, I'd returned my fighter to my cruiser, swapping it out to join the crew manning the Twilight. The rest point also allowed for the pilots to return to get some rest, and of course for Wolffe to wander onto the ship having become bored from being out of the action.

"If he's hogging the port, how am I supposed to use it?" R7 grumpily chirped out his complaint. He was of course referring to Anakin's replacement droid that had his scomp link in the connector to the ships systems. Neither droid, upon meeting moments earlier, seemed to get along all that well. The contempt my beloved droid had for R2's replacement was clear from their first meeting.

"Play nice." I scolded him, causing his head to click around to look at me. "If you're nice to him, maybe he'll be nice to you too. Be the bigger droid here." I told him, shaking my head when he started to grumble out further complaints.

"I understand, buddy." Anakin sympathised with R7, lovingly placing his hand atop his cylindrical head. "I miss R2 as well."

"We've searched their supply grids, sir." Rex spoke up, swiftly gaining our attention. "There's nothing to indicate the presence of an enemy outpost."

"This is just the first location." I hummed, crossing my arms over my midsection. We still had two more possibilities to check over from Jaxz' list, as far as I'd heard he hadn't been able to narrow it down any further from his original three.
