The call was unexpected. Scorch honestly thought it was the end of the fiasco. But when Delta squad, Omega squad, Vau, Jusik, Etain, Null-11, he'd never bothered to learn that murglak's name, and Skirata were called to Intel the next day he know things were going to go south in a major way. Especially since they'd been called to directly into Tarkin's office who had guards stationed all around Tarkin's desk awaiting his orders. Scorch was grateful for his helmet was hiding his apprehensive expression.

"Well now that we're gathered," Tarkin began pleasantly his voice dripping with hidden malice. "I'd like to go over the reports for the most recent encounters which were given to the as of now removed head of the company General Zey."

So Zey was removed? Oh no. This wasn't going to end well for Skirata. Unlike Zey many other Jedi were much more aware and with it. Meaning any crap he could get away with Zey would be shot down by the successor.

"What I wish to go over is namely...this Jinart and Gurlanin species mentioned in RC-1136, RC-3222, RC-5108/8043, the Delta Squad report."

One of the trooper, possibly Nines, looked at Darman who kept a stoic demeanor. Oh ho. Weren't supposed to tell eh?

"What did-?"

"The fact that they threatened the safety of not only the Republic and it's war effort for an arbitrary deal that wasn't either confirmed or sanctioned by any of the higher ups cannot be overstated," Tarkin said talking over Jusik silencing him. "Therefore, all that have excluded this detail from their respective reports are as of now..." Several of the Coruscant Guards now came forward pointing their weapons at Skirata, Null-11, Vau, Nines and Jusik. "Are under arrest for treason and withholding of information. Your interrogations will be swift as will your trials. I've been...requested." He looked like he'd swallowed something particularly sour. "That Ms. Tur-Mukan is to be excuse from this since she wasn't in charge of the specs and was influenced. Now take them away to their cells."

Null-11 tensed up and launched himself at the troopers only to be stopped by Sev who slammed him into the ground and pinned him. The fool kept struggling but soon was overwhelmed by the other guards. Jusik used the Force to slam several into the wall until Etain raised a hand and slammed him into a wall in pinned him down. His look of shock and betrayal was a sight to see.

"Don't," she hissed glaring at him. "Unless you want an execution."

"I believe we can add resisting arrest to their list," Tarkin said unruffled dusting of his tunic as he got up. "Ms. Tur-Mukan thank you madam for your assistance."

"Of course sir," Etain said while still keeping an eye on Jusik. "May I ask what's going to happen to Jinart?"

"She's being hunted down by a Quinlan Vos from the Jedi, as for the rest of her species..."

"Sir," a trooper interrupted. "I've just gotten transmission from ARC 118/72. Qillura has been torched by Separatist forces possibly lead by Grievous. There's nothing left."

"It's gone..?" Etain whispered horrified. Scorch wasn't surprised honestly. In fact he was surprised it'd taken that long for the Seppies to act upon the Intel. Then again they probably were hoping to reverse engineer the Gurlanin unique abilities. Seems it didn't work. So they did what Seppies usually do if they can't force or steal. Torch it and run.

"Yes sir," the trooper sighed. "It's a totally lose, the planet is a flaming slag."

"So this Jinart is the last of her kind as of now," Tarkin mused.

"Doubtful sir," Boss spoke up. "If Qiilura is gone then so is she because she left immediately after the operation was completed. So I can safely say that the Gurlanin species is extinct. My suggestion would be to call off General Vos."

"I see, what a pity but not too unexpected. Ah well, that solves one issue."

"What-"

Darman stepped in front of her before she could finish the sentence. His body language was non-confrontational and protective. Good call. She was just spared being arrested. It was best if she didn't antagonize the man.

"Thank you in participating in this sting operation," Tarkin bowed to remainder of the group. "I shall review your reports in good time. Save for the hiccup of that confrontation with the CSF and that quite frankly ludicrous notion which seems to have taken care of itself, you've all done exemplary work. Dismissed."

And the Jedi are bad how? Scorch sarcastically asked in his mind as he saluted then turned and walked back to the barracks with the rest of his squad. Yeah there are worst things then so-called Jedi out there.

"They're gone," Etain whispered brokenly. "I promised them."

"It wouldn't have happened even if the Clankers hadn't gotten them," Boss shook his head. "Not with the speciesism present."

She went silent realizing just as much as Scorch did that he was right. There was no way that they'd remove the civilians. Qillura was too remote for them to give a hoot and also if anything it would be the Republic looking the other way while the locals legalized the humans to quietly to hunt them down. It'd happened before on Ord Plutonia, who's to say it wouldn't happen there? And if they did carry out their threat...Well Tarkin had ways of dealing with that. Scorch shivered at the thought.

Jinart was dragged forward by the Commando droids. The attack had been sudden and out of nowhere...Now she was the last. Everything was gone. Before her was a human of an elderly age dressed in a silky black cloak and all black attire was tossing aside a long necked being who he'd clearly just decapitated. He activated a lightsaber and held it up in a salute. The last thing she saw was the saber descending upon her head. Then she knew no more and with her went the last of her kind forever.

"Hey Prudii!"

Prudii looked up from his tools to see Boil standing at the entrance of the barracks. "The General wants to talk to you."

"Yes sir, on my way," he put down his gun cleaning tools and followed Boil out of the barracks. As he quietly followed he contemplated the reason on why he was being called. The only thing that he could think of that warranted a call was probably something about Skirata. What had that murglak done this time? He made the bargain so he'd stay out of trouble. Good grief what had that imbecile gotten himself into this time?

Finally they made to the bridge where the General and Commander were waiting for him. He nodded to Boil in thanks and walked forward towards his Ha'aratr.

"Sir reporting as requested," he saluted him and stood in parade rest.

"Thank you for coming ner burc'ya," he greeted back. "I regret to inform you that Skirata has been arrested due to treason against the Republic as well as your brother. I'm sorry."

"That's...sadly not surprising," Prudii shook his head. "I'm honestly surprised it took this long. I had hoped..."

"We all did," Ha'aratr Kenobi said sadly. "But it seems he went too far for some authorities. Namely the Intel."

"Let me guess, Tarkin."

"Spot on Null," Cody said grimly. "He made the monumental mistake of not mentioning a species that threatened the war effort. To make matters worse Null-11 attacked troopers while being arrested."

Prudii sighed explosively at that. He knew that Skirata could be an idiot but that beyond stupid. So much for caring about clones since that action not only endangers them but also others under their protection. Times like this he was incredibly grateful for being deprogrammed from the propaganda that he'd been fed by Skirata. As for Ordo...he wasn't surprised and knew that it was a matter of time when he'd toe the line and get drummed out. His attitude and command wasn't good for an ops as well as unstable. He was going to have to live with that fact for the rest of his life now.

"So much for being Mando," Cody shook his head. "Those guys were morons."

"No," Prudii said. "They were sentimental fools. Trying to have their metaphorical cake and eat it too. War doesn't work that way. It doesn't reward people for being like they were. We fight for others. Yes officers can be bad but so can spec ops. Lump people into a group and everyone loses."

"Smart advice."

"Well Ha'aratr Kenobi taught me that one."

"Gentlemen you're making me blush," Ha'aratr Kenobi said with a soft smile. "I merely helped facilitate you're enlightenment and I must stress if you need anyone to talk to about this my door is open."

"As is mine," Cody said smiling at him. It'd been a long road to earning his respect. Prudii had been a bit of an ohlhor and Cody had been stern. Eventually they'd seen eye to eye. He had the Jedi to thank for this. It was because of the Jedi he was able to serve to the best of his ability.

"Thank you sir," Prudii saluted them both. "If you'll excuse I'd best prepare myself and my men for the next mission. Excuse me sirs."

"Jate oya'karir," Ha'aratr Kenobi said. Prudii saluted him again and walked out to the barracks. He work to do and a war to win so all could be in a free and just society.
