Chapter 102

David went back to the ship while Caina and Anakin remained on guard duty.

As soon as he got back, the teen opened a secret port on his next before connecting a cord between it and the ship.

David was connecting himself to the Yautja's private database and scanning everything within it to try and match the dart.

It only took David 1 minute and 43 seconds before he got a hit.

"Kamino Saberdart. Those are the same bastards making that clone army. Which means that guy was probably..." David began putting together the pieces of the puzzle

The Yautja had already found out about the Republic's Grand Army before they even had and they knew who the mysterious donor for the clone DNA.

Jango Fett

He was recognized at the deadliest bounty hunter. He had taken the title of Mand'alor for himself but none backed him because of the Yautja.

Ever since that, he had held a grudge against the Yautja and was one of the few who took up bounties against their members.

The Mandalorian had successfully killed 7 of their members, most being Class 5 soldiers but the latest was a Class 4 officer.

Many were surprised that he didn't have a bounty on his head but that was because the Yautja didn't want to give him renown or let others pursue him.

He was a personal enemy of the Yautja and would be dealt with by them but he had managed to elude their pursuit of him.

But with the Saberdart in his possession, it would inform the Yautja of something that they had put off the table.

They thought he donated his DNA and left Kamino. But most likely, he was still there.

Although David hadn't seen an image of Jamgo before, his fame and connection to the Kaminoans put him as the first person he thought of.

David sent the information about the dart amd his theory back to Yautja Prime. And he soon got word back from Sev'rance.

"Thanks for the information. We will be sending a force to Kamino to try and extract Jango Fett."

And that was precisely what they did.

3 days later, 20 members of the Psian Jakals along with 4 Rallymaster Astartes were sent in one of the few Phantom ships that Jial was able to reproduce to try and find their target.

Their ship's stealth abilities allowed it to pass by all of Kamino's sensors and defense without trouble until the group was over Tippca City.

From there, they scanned each platform until they located Jango Fett and his ship, the Slave 1.

There was a single problem though. Jango was battling two Jedi.

"This is S-1 from Operation Sandbox. Calling in to home base."

"This is home base," an operator replied instantly. "Current mission status?"

"Target has been located but they are currently engaged with two Jedi. Please advise," the leader of the Astartes squad felt frustrated.

This was originally supposed to be a simple wet operation. But with the Jedi involved, that made it much more complicated.

"Understood, S-1. Sending this up the line. Please hold."

"Holding," the man agreed in frustration

The group watched as the two Jedi were nearly killed several times by Jango until the Mandalorian boarded his ship and prepared to take off.

"This is S-1. Target has boarded their ship and is about to take off. The Jedi seems to have placed a tracker on target's ship. Please advise."

"Home base to S-1. New orders. Place a tracker on the Jedi's ship. You are to pursue the the Jedi and keep an eye on them.

If the target is able to lose the Jedi, take that chance and take them out. Until then, stay out of sight and report back to base every 4 hours."

"Acknowledged. S-1 out," the leader confirmed their new orders then hung up the comms.

The Phantom quickly made its way over to the transport that the Jedi were using.

Two of the Astartes quickly descended from the ship and placed three of the Yautja trackers on it in different places.

Once the trackers were in place, the Astartes boarded the Phantom once before before retreating into the atmosphere where they waited.

In less than 20 minutes, they saw the transport leaving and taking off into hyperspace where the Yautja pursued them.

The ship didn't head straight after Jango but had instead made a stop on Coruscant. They watched as the both Jedi disembarked from the the ship while the older one got into a Jedi starfighter.

"S-1 to Homebase. The Jedi has switched crafts on Coruscant. We will still be able to pursue but the tracking will take longer."

"Understood, S-1. You can stand down and rest of Coruscant. We have already tracked Jango Fett's location."

"Then where is he?" S-1 asked in frustration. The Class 4 officer that was killed was one of the Astartes under his command.

He had begged for the mission to pursue Jango in order to be the one to put the bolter round in his head.

"Classified. Your mission is over S-1. You're now grounded until further orders are given. Is that understood?" The operator gave the orders passed down from above

The Astartes Squad leader was about to accept the order when Ross, one of the men under him, took the comms from him.

"We pursued that son of a bitch and had him in our sights. You gave the orders not to fire and now you're taking us off the pursuit?"

"No," a different voice came over the comms. Mira had been in the room and was the one who gave the orders for them to stop their pursuit.

"The Separatists look like they are about to make a big move and he seems to be involved.

We plan to launch an attack on then but we need some guys to infiltrate the location and hit them from within while we strike them externally.

You will be part of that infiltration group. Is that understood?"

"Yes, ma'am," Ross felt nervous talking to one of the Ministers but when he heard that they still had a chance to get Jango, he felt excited.

"Good. Then get some rest tonight. The Psian Jakals are to disembark.

Anakin, Caina, and David will be joining your crew tomorrow. We also suspect that the Senator want to come along. Let her.

They will update you on your destination. Understood?"

Steven/S-1 took the command back from Ross.

"Yes, ma'am. Orders are confirmed."

"Good. Get some rest. Next few days are gonna be bloody."
