Tumblr is a fucking nightmare. It deleted this entire thing when I edited the fucking tags.
Anywho. This is a follow up to Commander Fox Deal With A lot which itself is a follow up to my Interviews fic.
I call it unofficial because a) I’m not sure if this is really how it’ll go within the Interviews Universe and b) If this happens in the Interviews Universe, it’d be after the Anakin follow up (That I am still writing, Anakin doesn’t like me okay? He’s a dama bitch whenever I try) Hence I’m not putting it up on AO3 right now.
But I still want to share it because idk how long the Anakin follow up is gonna take and I like what I wrote. And am rewriting this verbatim because someone reblogged this so thank you because I didn’t want to figure out what the fuck I wrote up here.
Also, if you don’t want to read those two fics but want to try this one out, all you really need to know is that the Coruscant Guard has become a Daycare. Other than that, this is a pretty independent work.
Now Idk what I wrote down here so bear with me if you’re rereading this after April 4th because this has some slight changes I’m sure. Also. I edited the thing here so, let’s hope I remember my edits.
Characters: Commander Fox, Clone OCs
Words: 870 (or somewhere around there)
Warnings: Mentioned Character Death.
Mando’a translations:
Vod -> Brother
Di’kut -> idiot (lit. someone who forgets to put on their pants)
Utreekov -> idiot, fool, emptyheaded
Gar mirsh solus* -> your brain cell is lonely
Jorbe** -> Reason
Ade -> child
*The one on Mandoa.org is actually Kaysh mirsh solus (His brain cell is lonely) but Gar means your and I figured it’d work. Let me know if it doesn’t.
**Yes I named a clone ‘Reason’ in Mandoa. Take a guess at what’s notable about him.
Now the story
“Explain. Now.” Fox really wanted to know what Ink and Hive were thinking.
Both troopers shuffle a bit, glancing at each other, before Hive starts talking, “So, the safety lady came by to check if our base was safe for kids because the Chancellor wanted to be certain. We knew it would be so we didn’t care, but it wasn’t. The lady gave us a day to clean up before she came back to ascertain it was safe. It is now. But there were dangerous things in reach of the kids that no vod would leave out. So, Ink and I went through the security footage to see what di’kut was leaving dangerous shit around.”
Ink takes over the story, “It was one of the Chancellors aids. She had come down and put dangerous stuff in easily accessible areas for children. It was deliberate. So,” Ink shrugs, “we bugged the Chancellors office and set up hidden cameras. We needed to know if he was telling her to or if she just really hated kids.”
Hive cuts in, “While we recorded everything, we set it up so it only triggered our comms when she went into his office. And when she did, we got this recording,” Hive holds out a holorecorder and turns it on. An image of the Chancellor and one of his aids came to life, paused for a second before Hive played it.
”And?” The Chancellor prompts.
“I set up everything you told me to. Their daycare will be shut down before the days out.” The aid states.
“Good. Leave.” With that, the aid leaves the office.
And the recording stops.
This still does not explain the actions those two had taken. Fox looked at both for more of an explanation.
Hive speaks up first, “We went through the recordings later and found him in an upset over the daycare not being shut down. I don’t have it on me but he was talking about maybe sending a bounty hunter to attack the base. Make it unfit for kids. We couldn’t let that stand, vod.”
Fox sighs heavily, “Let me make this clear. You two assassinated the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic because he threatened our base and daycare?” Fox really wanted to make sure he was hearing this correctly.
“He debated to himself on whether to attack the base when the kids were here!” Ink protests.
Which, while a good point, changes little.
Fox groans, “You two are true utreekov. Seriously, gar mirsh solus.”
Both troopers were silent, but were clearly upset with the insults. But not fighting them.
First smart action from both of them.
Would it of killed them to go through more of their recordings from the Chancellors office?
Fox and Jorbe had gone through it and found some rather damning footage.
Fox pulls out his own holorecorder and played a clip that Ink and Hive’s bugs and cameras had picked up.
Chancellors Palpatine stands up from his desk and goes over to a holocaller, pulling on a robe and pulling the hood up to hide his face. After pressing the call button, Count Yan Dooku appears.
“Lord Sidious how might I be of service?” Count Dooku asks.
The Chancellor answers, “There will be a Jedi battalion lead by Master Gallia at Bo’lim. Win the system, she will not be able to call in reinforcements.”
Count Dooku bows, “Of course, Master.” with that, the holocall cuts out.
Fox shuts off the holorecorder and levels the pair of troopers with a Look.
“Did General Gallia-”
“I requisitioned reinforcements and changed certain travel plans for other battalions so she’d have backup.” Fox states, it had been one of the first things he’d done upon hearing that, “Now, please explain why you assassinated our Chancellor who was a Sith Lord and working with the enemy?” Fox’s voice was hard. He wanted these two to get with the program. They weren’t. He was not happy.
He rarely was. But that was beside the point.
“We assassinated him because he threatened our ade.” Ink states.
Fox sighs again. Seriously?
“You two are fucking morons.”
“Are we in trouble?” Hive asks.
“Yes you two are in deep trouble for assassinating our Supreme Chancellor who was committing treason against the Galactic Republic.” Fox was pretty sure his sarcasm wasn’t coming through his anger, but he really didn’t care. “The fuck do you think?”
Hive’s answer was hesitant, “No?”
Fox sighs heavily, “You’re both on latrine duty. Get out of my office.”
It wasn’t really a punishment. Not the one they should have gotten for assasinating the Supreme Chancellor.
But Palpatine had been a traitor to the republic. Jorbe was leaking the illegal footage, making sure it had no connection to the Guard.
Soon everyone would know the Chancellor was a traitor.
And a Sith Lord.
Fox probably should of punished Ink and Hive harder.
If anyone found out it had been them and all they got was latrine duty?
Fox would be decommissioned with them.
But he couldn’t bring himself to punish them more.
The Chancellor was a Traitor to the Republic Fox was sworn to protect.
Jace unintentionally making Clary cry and alec flipping his shit at jace because of it. For the jaces bday Drabbles please? ❤❤❤
Alec hands him a tissue, a scowl on his face. “What the hell happened to you?”
Jace takes the tissue, dabbing at his bloody nose. “Dude. I have no idea what I did but Clary just kicked my ass during training. She’s so small but so fierce when she wants to be.”
“What did you do?”
Jace’s mouth opens in shock. “What? I didn’t do anything!”
“Right. So she just kicked your ass for no reason?”
Jace wracks his brain, trying to think of anything. “Dude. There’s nothing. Today’s been a normal day!”
Alec pinches the bridge of his nose. “So you didn’t do anything special? Nothing at all?”
“No!”
Alec slaps the back of his head. “Well there’s your problem.”
Jace stares at his parabatai in confusion. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Jace,” Alec says, putting his hands on Jace’s shoulders. “Today’s your anniversary.”
“Oh, fuck.”
“Yeah. So go do something special.”
Jace nods his head. “Right. Okay. How much will I owe Magnus to get him to help me with something special?”
Alec rolls his eyes. “You already owe us babysitting hours.”
“Add a few more on?”
“Fine.”
Jace fist bumps the air, already planning how to wine and dine his lady and get back in her good graces.
