The four of us then met up with Russo in the medical bay to see Jackar no where to be found. Anakin furrowed his brows. "Where is he?"
"Well, part of him is here." Russo replied.
"I don't think now is a good time to joke." Anakin warned.
"This is all that remains of Jackar." Russo mentioned.
He then took us to a table with just Jackar's hand lying there. I was baffled to only see Jackar's hand.
"His hand?" I repeated.
"The rest of him exploded." Russo explained.
"Because he was so close to the bomb?" Ahsoka asked.
"Because he was the bomb." Russo clarified.
Russo then handed us the results on a datapad. I raised an eyebrow as I grabbed the datapad. "What's this?"
Russo used a scanner to inspect the hand. "The connection we were looking for to the explosion in the hangar."
At once, we saw the nano-droids inside his blood. My jaw dropped. How did the nano-droids get in there?
"The nano-droids?" Areria inquired.
"How did they get in his bloodstream?" Ahsoka questioned.
Anakin sighed. "Oh, this just keeps getting better and better."
"We're going to have to search Jackar's home for evidence." I advised.
With that we made our way towards Jackar's home in the Underworld. Outside the building of Jackar's home was small and covered with graffiti. Once we were inside the hallway, we saw many doors leading into small homes. The hallway was covered with trash. Anakin grimaced. "This is not the nicest place."
"I would've thought working for the Jedi paid better." Ahsoka mentioned.
"So do I." I added.
Anakin then knocked on the door. "Letta?"
After we heard no response, Anakin used the Force, opening up the door. Once we were inside, we saw the place was empty and no lights were on. Anakin called out. "Letta? Are you here?"
"Ahsoka and Areria search for the droids, but be careful, and remember, he was a munitions expert." I warned.
"I'd rather not set off another explosion today. I'll see if he left a note." Anakin suggested.
With that we split up, I walked off to one of the rooms. Inside the room, I scanned the area with my datapad, finding propaganda of ending the war and getting rid of the clone troopers. I knew not everyone agreed with the war, but I never thought anyone would go as far as to bomb a place as sacred as the Jedi Temple.
"Masters!" Ahsoka called out.
I quickly rushed over towards the kitchen where all of us met up. We saw Ahsoka next to some food that lied on the counter tops. She then showed us her datapad, which showed signs of nano-droids.
"The sensors are picking up traces from the disposal. The nano-droids were in the food." Ahsoka informed us.
"Well, I guess the question now is, did he eat them willingly, or did someone feed them to him?" Anakin questioned.
"Wh-what are you doing here?"
We turned around to see Letta standing by the door frame with a baffled look on her face. I wondered if she fed them to Jackar in his food.
"We've learned Jackar was involved in the bombing." I explained.
Letta shook her head. "That can't be true."
