Plot summary[]
- "Those are inhibitor chips, which are placed in clones to make them less aggressive and more compliant to orders."
- ―Nala Se, to Shaak Ti[7]
Theshuttle bearingclone trooperFives,Jedi MasterShaak Ti andKaminoan scientistNala Se arrives atCoruscant. While Shaak Ti is not watching, Nala Se injects the sedated Fives with an unknown drug.
The shuttle lands at theGrand Republic Medical Facility, where they are met byMas Amedda and escorted to meet theChancellor. Fives pleads his case that the chips are part of a Separatist conspiracy to cause aggression in the clones, rather than inhibit it as Nala Se claims.Palpatine suggests that he discuss the matter with Fives alone, and Shaak Ti objects. He assures her he will be safe with his security guard. As they wait outside, Palpatine calls for help, and Shaak Ti rushes in to see Fives overpowering Palpatine's guard and taking his rifle which he points at the Chancellor. She throws Fives aside with the Force and he flees from the room with Shaak Ti in pursuit. Palpatine rises calmly and hands the chips to Nala Se. Fives races through the center's reception hall, and barely manages to leap through the blast doors as Shaak Ti orders them to be closed.
At theJedi Temple, Shaak Ti tells theJedi Council what has happened in a conference withYoda,Anakin Skywalker,Mace Windu andPlo Koon. Skywalker cannot believe that Fives would try to assassinate the Chancellor, and finds it odd that theJedi have not been asked to assist in the search for the rogue trooper. Windu suggests they investigate discreetly, and Skywalker volunteers to lead the investigation, as Fives will trust him andCaptainRex as his commanding officers in the501st Legion.
Fives takes anair taxi driven byJay Igno to the clone bar79's. He is unable to pay for the cab ride, and tells Igno to "bill it to the Republic," which amuses some drunken clone officers who accompany him inside and give him an officer's cap. In the bar, Fives recognizes fellow 501st troopersKix andJesse. As a squad ofshock troopers from theCoruscant Guard arrive and begin to check IDs, Fives approaches Kix in therefresher and gives him coordinates to arrange a meeting with Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex. He evades the shock troopers and steals aFlitknot Speeder Bike to escape from the bar, but is followed by aprobe droid to awarehouse onLevel 1325 of anunderworld portal.
Skywalker and Rex arrive at the warehouse after being given the coordinates by Kix. Fives asks them to put their weapons down, and then activates aRay shield around them. He outlines the plot against the Jedi, to use the biochips in every clone to force them to kill their Jedi generals. Fives becomes angry that Skywalker and Rex don't believe him, and insists the Chancellor is in on the plot, having told him in the medical bay that he had orchestrated it. CommanderFox and his troops enter the warehouse and order Fives to stand down, but he reaches for one of Rex's pistols, forcing Fox to shoot him. As he dies in Rex's arms, Fives says the conspiracy is bigger than any of them and he only wanted to do his duty, but that his missions and nightmares are finally over.
In the Chancellor's office, Palpatine tells Mace Windu and Yoda that his personal doctors have examined the "tumors" provided by Fives, and that Nala Se had missed the true cause of the clone troopers' behavior: a parasite native toRingo Vinda, for which an innoculation has been developed which will be administered to the clones.
Athis palace onSerenno,Dooku acknowledges that he has received the biochips from Nala Se. As Darth Sidious, Palpatine tells Dooku to destroy the evidence so that no one can stopOrder 66.
