Commander Cody

CC-2224 Reporting. General Kenobi's too busy to talk right now, can I help you?

The clone nodded at his elder.  He knew what the Null thought of the Jedi, it wasn’t a secret, but he appreciated his silence on the matter.  ”Tell me, do you enjoy your free will?”

[mxltipass]

Ordo narrowed his eyes slightly, suspicious. It seemed like an odd question. “As much as I’m able to enjoy it. I’m just as stuck in this army as you are. I think I’d enjoy free will a lot more if I had freedom to go with it.”

[iwontlethimdown-blog]

"Why do you stay?" he asked, genuinely curious.  He had a seat across from the other trooper.  He wasn't judging the other clone.  Cody had no jurisdiction over the Nulls, they were a class of their own.

He’d heard this song and dance before.  This trooper, Null as he was, wasn’t the only one who thought this way, even within the ranks of his own squad.  It was all well and good to talk about having a life after…though after seemed so far off as to be but a dream.  What WERE they planning to do with them after the war?  It was a question that haunted many of their minds.

“I’d like to see that happen,” he confessed and held out a hand.  ”I’m Cody, by the way.”

[mxltipass]

Ordo clasped Cody’s forearm in a Mandalorian greeting— not the feeble handshake of a Naboo businessman. “I know, sir,” he admitted. “I’m familiar with your file. You work with General Kenobi.” There was more he could say about that— Ordo loathed the Jedi, and while he may have been able to respect Kenobi as a man, his status made him despicable in the Null’s eyes. But he had a feeling that wouldn’t go over well with Cody, and that was a can of worms he wasn’t interested in opening.

“Good to see you again, Commander.”

“General,” he said in greeting.  He was sporting a bit of a limp, but there was a smile in his eyes.  It was hard to be upset on a day like today.

[justiceliesintheshadows-deactiv]

He smiled. “You’re in a good mood. What’s happened?” 

[iwontlethimdown-blog]

"Saved a whole shipload of civilians and troopers yesterday," he smiled a little, satisfied with the job his squad had done.

Pointless?

[mxltipass]

The Separatist systems cede from the Republic under the leadership of Count Dooku. Dooku then sows chaos throughout the galaxy with his droids for no apparent shabla reason. Palpatine deploys our ranks as thin as possible in every system he can think of, also usually with no apparent logic, and we fight a tug of war where neither side ever gains any real ground. Meanwhile, we tear up the galaxy in our wake and shed lots of innocent blood— primarily ours.

Do you see a point?

[iwontlethimdown-blog]

It’s what we were made for.  You and the rest of your kind might have a use for a life without commands, but that isn’t the way we were programmed.

*he sighs and sets his helmet on the nearest cargo container, a bit of the man under the soldier peaking out*  But yes, I see your point.  What’s to be done?  Let Dooku have his way?  Ignore them?

[mxltipass]

Ordo’s features grew hard as he judged the ARC for his easy compliance. It was one of the things he hated seeing most. But he didn’t blame Cody— he never blamed his brothers. He blamed the Kaminoans and the Jedi.

Ordo shrugged in answer to the question, and removed his helmet as a courtesy to Cody. “Get rid of the Chancellor, for one thing. He’s the worst strategist I’ve ever seen.” Maybe it was treasonous to say, but Ordo rarely gave much thought to the matter anymore. “Put someone in as Commander in Chief who knows how to run a war. The GAR has superior training, equipment, and more support. If we concentrated our efforts, we’d be looking at victory within a year.” He folded his arms, staring off to the side in thought. “Then give our boys real lives. Citizenship, jobs, freedom. No more shooting them like kath hounds if they dare to want something better.”

Not unenthusiastic, just stating facts.

How goes the war on your front?

Republic Intelligence? About the same as everywhere else. Ugly, bloody, pointless.

You’re a Null.

You sound unenthusiastic, vod.

So I'm back from that mission.

I'm alive and mostly unhurt.  Anyone care to report?

That's not a request.

When faced with a Mandalorian’s arsenal, one asks: ‘Isn’t that a bit much?’ The Mandalorian will ask instead: ‘Where’s the rest?’

Two of a Kind Are We

[iwontlethimdown-blog]

“General Kenobi’s orders.  He’s always sure we eat before a fight.  I’m not really certain why, he won’t say.  Last meal, maybe?”  He shrugged with one armored shoulder.  It hardly mattered really.  He moved past her and set her tray across from his own at the small table in her room.  ”Mind if I eat with ya?” he asked.  Yes, he had set his tray down, but if she told him to fuck off, he’d have no problem leaving either.  No hard feelings.

[darkhairfairskin-blog]

His thoughts and speech always seemed to wander back to such a grim, but casually dismal pattern, and as much as she would have liked to change that, it was quickly becoming apparent she would not be able to sway his mind. “Perhaps he’s concerned for your strength? Eat to survive, survive to fight, etcetera etcetera?” So the frown on her face faded as quickly as it came, instead just shifting to sit at the quaint little dinette set, and cautioning a nod. “I wouldn’t mind in the slightest— in fact, I would enjoy the company.” It felt very much like a cage when you were being guarded, alone, in a room, so his presence would make it somewhat more bearable. “As long as you won’t mind my company, either. I suppose I’m not the easiest person to bear with.”

[iwontlethimdown-blog]

"Why would you think that?" he asked, taking a bite of bread.  He found her challenging, but not in a bad way.  He also found the idea that she was some sort of slave repulsive and if he ever met the guy, he was likely to empty a battery clip's worth of blaster bolts in his face...or various other organs.  "Ya seem all right to me."

iwontlethimdown replied to your post: Do you refrain from touching yourself because you’re ashamed of your small size?

You seem plenty tall to me, sir.

We’re the same height, Commander. And I……don’t think that’s what they meant. 

[iwontlethimdown-blog]

I don't understand.
