HMM OKAY SO
There is a way to use The Force as a super-effective navigational tool, combat computer, and speed boost for starships. Basically, it can turn any shitbucket of a ship into something that can evade military tech and find faster trade routes than anyone else. However, this is almost never used, because the conduit that you need to make this work is a living Force Sensitive person. You need to install them into the ship.
So Anakin gets captured during a battle in the middle of the Clone Wars. And gets installed, body-horror-dehumanization style, into a ship’s computer hardware.
Obi-Wan and Ahsoka go on a deep cover mission as pirates. Hardeen plus Daughter, pretty much. They need to get deep enough into this criminal ring to find Anakin. They’re both badasses but also stressed out of their minds and so worried they can hardly sleep.
But! When they can sleep, something odd happens. This machine he’s plugged into forces Anakin so deep into the Force, he can essentially dream walk. So Anakin gets a reprieve from the nightmare he’s living in to take refuge in Obi-Wan and Ahsoka’s dreams, where there’s a lot of hurt/comfort even before they realize that it’s really him, because they’re in their dreams and also very stressed and so really don’t hesitate to express how much they love and miss him.
The miscommunication thing comes in because of how hard it is for Anakin to get them to believe that they’re actually talking to him, and how hard it is for Anakin to keep himself conscience enough to know that he is actually talking to them. There’s a lot of near-misses and misunderstandings. They all just keep not getting it.
But then they do and there is a hurt/comfort brain reunion and they all come up with a plan to save Anakin, and then they go and exceute that plan so that Anakin can get some real life hugs, too, after they get him out of this body horror hell computer.
It’s a fixit because Anakin ends up so deep in the Force that he just. Sees that the Chancellor is wrong, within it. And makes a comment about it when they rescue him, which is enough to get an investigation rolling. Mace Windu beheads the asshole while everyone else is getting rest and hugs and comfort.
,,,,,,wow this turned out longer than I meant it to, lol
