Crane doesn’t enjoy being on sanitation, but at least he gets to zone out for a bit and jam to his tunes. He was almost finished with this hallway, humming along to the song currently playing in his headphones when suddenly he heard thud.

Taking out one of his ear buds “uhhhh hello?” No answer “commander fox… is that you..?”

“You missed a spot” came from the vent

Crane wiped around, mop pointed to the unexpected voice “FORCE DAMN!!… why are you in the vent..?”

(Account: @guard-crane) feel free to ignore, just wanted to goof around

Tumbler is spiritually kicking his legs like a teen Natborn female as he stares up in amusement at the vod, whilst physically he can't due to confined space and head tilted to suggest the osik-eating grin under his bucket.

"Either you're new to the Guard or I've become so mysterious that hardly anyone but the older Vode know of me. Cryptid legend status well earned!"

He chuckles, leaning further out of the vent to offer Crane a lazy salute, indifferent to the dust falling from his shell or the spiders crawling over him.

"CT-3996, Tumbler, at your service. I'm the local vent cryptid, as I live in these vents more than I do my own bunk and I know and see all that happens in the Guard and Senate Rotunda. I am everywhere and see everything."

Technically the Droids see everything and they tell him, but same difference.

Ever since receiving word Tumbler had gone missing Crane had payed more attention to the vents, even telling Forge to keep an eye out in the senate building.

There first talk may have not gone very well but tumbler was still a Vod, and the others seem worried, so Crane and Forge will do their parts. Hoping to find even the smallest clue

( @guard-crane mystery!!!!!! Wooooo)

Forge, whilst patrolling the Rotunda, would note something off about the Rattataki aides.

Usually passive aggressive and cold towards the Clones, given their stance as a Separatist Planet, in the recent days following after Tumbler's disappearance the Rattataki aides would be watching the Clones most curiously. Some approaching lone Guards and asking innocent questions about poison testing and endurance.

Naturally, the Guards became defensive and immediately cut off the questions, citing the safe security of the Republic.

On Crane's end in patrolling the levels, there would an increase of noise complaint from a sector on level 126, though when investigated, the people who reported the complaints had seemingly forgotten and unwilling to go further.

Something was not right.
