Cod - CC-2224, he reminded himself, was here on a mission by the Galatic Empire. Patrol the Dune Sea, and report back any suspicious activity. "Like there's anything here to report anyway." CC-2224 muttered darkly to himself. He didn't notice the cave at first. It was night, and to be expected. Upon a second glance, though, he noticed what seemed like footprints leading in to the cave. "Kriffing caves." He walked in.
CC-2224 blinked. Then he took his helmet off, gently laying it on the ground as he stared at the cave's two occupants. His former general, and a baby boy. "Cody." Obi-Wan's voice was hard.
"General," he began. "I-I'm sorry. For-for everything."
Obi-Wan's hard gaze softened. "It's alright."
"I couldn't control myself," CC-222 - Cody - said. "I was screaming in my head, wanting to tell you to get as far away from the cannon as you could. Fi-Fives was right. About everything. The chips in our heads...they made us turn on the Jedi no matter how much we wanted to do nothing more than protect them and the little'uns." Obi-Wan's hard gaze had gone, replaced by horror as Cody told her about the inhibitor chips.
Then her eyes turned hard again. "Is there anyone you believe could help?" She asked. "I'll do what I can from here."
Cody went to answer, but hesitated. The infant was stirring, and Obi-Wan soon had the baby back asleep. "Rex, maybe Wolffe and Gregor as well." He answered quietly.
Both of them knew it'd be a long time before they could formally say they were ready to begin talking about a relationship again - they'd barely started talking about it before the Order had gone through - but the wait would be worth it.
