Foolish One

Aftermath

  ⚠️Trigger Warning: Panic Attack, and Injury⚠️

It's been 3 days since Calista received the transmission from her father, she is currently on the planet Kamino. She told herself if she wanted answers she was going to get them herself. And she knew a certain group of clones that could help. She didn't care if it killed her, she wanted answers. And she was going to get them. Luckily for her she's small enough to fit in the venting system. She watches and listens hoping to spot Clone Force 99. She waits and waits until finally they arrive.

She watches as Hunter leads, Echo and Tech behind him, then Wrecker, and finally Crosshair. Oh how she missed his snarky remarks. "It's not just the clones on Kaller. All the regs are acting strange." She watched as Hunter looked at the other clones in confusion.

She was confused herself. Did he not know? How could he not know? They tried to kill her.

"Let's test that theory." Tech pushes Hunter out of the way.

"Excuse me, Trooper. What division are you from?" The clone pushes him away.

If Calista wasn't trying to stay hidden she would've smacked the shit out of the reg.

"Oh. Well they seem the same to me." She laughed softly. Even though he didn't know it, Tech is funny at times.

She watched as they kept walking towards their room. She follows trying not to attract too much attention.

"Ah! Good to be back!" Wrecker slams his helmet on the crate.

"The smells getting worse." She smiles. Echo always likes things clean. Wrecker. Well he does not.

Hunter put his hand on Echo's shoulder." You're still new. You'll get used to it."

Crosshair pushes through the two, but not before muttering a snide remark. "Speak for yourself."

"Well, I'll get the board." Wrecker flips his vibro-blade out before marking a tally on the already marked up wall.

"Eleven more successful missions. Like there was any doubt." Calista felt betrayed. Did he consider Kaller a successful mission?

"Kaller wasn't a win." Echo shakes his head. A tear fell from her eye. Echo always knew just what to say.

"Says who? We completed our objective." Wrecker lays on his bed.

"Not every objective." She watches as Crosshair grabs his sniper.

"Hunter let the Jedi kid and Calista escape. Or do you want to keep lying to us?" Calista almost broke into tears right there. Crosshair didn't care that he almost killed Caleb.

Hunter got up and looked out the window. Not wanting to look Crosshair in the eyes. "I don't like to think of executing our commander as a mission objective."

Crosshair got up as well. "An order is an order"

Hunter turned around. "Since when?"

Calista so desperately wanted to intervene. She was to shocked right now she didn't know whether they were on her side or not.

She's grateful Echo broke the tension in the room. "None of this makes sense. Those clones served alongside General Billaba for years. How could they turn on her like that!?"

Him slamming his fist on the table made Calista jump.

"Because of the regs programming." Tech spoke.

Hunter turned his head slowly to look at him. "What programming?"

"It's been well documented that the Kaminoans inhibited the cognitive functions of clones to engineer them to follow orders without question.
