Unusual Midi-Chlorian Count

It had already been a few hours since his meeting with Thrawn and Palpatine, but currently Silas was in a Medical Bay of one of the Venator Ships, promptly sitting beside an empty bed with R2 next to him.

"I'm going to go over the directions one more time, just to make sure you understand." Silas spoke in his usual white military outfit.

Beep!

Beep!

R2 beeped repeatedly as it nodded it's circular head.

"Your going to remove a chip with the specific designated code, O-18466 from each of the clones in a proper procedure where you place them unconscious. After removing the chip you need to safely store them, then your going to seal the incision on the clones heads and make it disappear as if it was never there and I'll deal with the rest."

Silas was planning on removing all the inhibiting chips of the clones in his legion under the guise that this was but a normal medical check up. And he was going to do the same for the rest of the clones throughout a prolonged amount of time in order to make sure everything remained discreet.

"Simple right..." He then pointedly looked at R2 who just beeped rapidly.

Beep!

Beep!

[Translate: I'm not f*cking stupid!]

Silas raised a brow, he knew a good amount of languages and understood R2's words, nevertheless he smiled, "Now be ready."

Soon after, Commander Cody entered the room in his Orange Striped armor which was soon going to be changed.

He did a curt nod to Silas as he sat on the bed, "General, I hear that we have a Medical Check-Up to go through for all the clones in our legion, but was there really a reason for you to be personally present?"

Silas just smirked, "Of course, I need to make sure all my troops are healthy and fit."

Cody had a small smile as he lay down on the medical bed.

R2 then beeped rapidly before plunging a shot into his neck, not even giving him a chance to react as his vision blurred and eyes turned white, promptly knocking him unconscious.

Silas did a silent thumbs up with a proud expression as R2 started the incision on Cody's head.

His mechanical arms popped out as a beam of energy cut into Cody's head precisely, soon after, it's little arms would then start the procedure on his brain.

And just one minute later, everything was seemingly done as the incision on the commander's head was sealed and concealed as if never there.

R2 backed up as Cody's eyes slowly fluttered open while he put a hand on his head in a daze, "What happen?... Did I fall asleep or something?"

Silas didn't respond as he approached his figure and did a simple wave of his hand over Cody's face, "Don't resist." He muttered calmly.

Cody's eyes slightly blurred but after a few seconds his eyes cleared up as he nodded toward Silas, "Did the check up go well sir?"

Silas smiled, "It went perfect, your good to go Cody, let's get some drinks in the next few days, it's on me."

Cody grinned, "That'd be my pleasure sir." Leaving those words he walked out the medical room.

"Next!" Silas shouted out from behind as their was a small line of troopers outside.

[Jedi Council Chamber]

At the Jedi Temple, the Jedi Masters were currently having a meeting as they all sat in their surrounding chairs, with namely Obi-Wan standing at the center.

Windu then spoke from his chair, "Master Kenobi, you were tasked with investigating General Raven, is there anything more you can tell us about him?"

Obi-Wan shook his head, "To be honest there isn't much to his background, he was a clone synthetically born with the aptitude to be a force user, bred by the Kaminoans themselves."

"And while I can't be 100%, there seems to be indirect evidence that points to the fact that he wasn't always on Kamino, meaning that he had missions before the Battle of Geonosis."

Yoda hummed in thought as did the other Jedi, before Master Muundi was the first to speak, "The only one with the authority to order General Raven is Chancellor Palpatine..."

Plo-Koon then expressed his thoughts from the other side, "That is most likely to be the case, but do we even know what type of missions he did?"

Obi-Wan crossed his arms as he snidely replied, "Well after witnessing Silas's eccentric personality, and cold blooded actions during the battlefield, I'd assume they weren't very nice missions."

Yoda finally voiced his opinion as he said, "Matter it does not... Further information you have, Master Kenobi?"

Obi-Wan nodded as his expression contorted into a troubled one, "I got a sample of his blood from the battlefield as you said Master Yoda, and tested it for his Midi-Chlorian count."

Everyone's interest was piqued as they listened closely, even Yoda seemed curious as Obi-Wan continued speaking.

"He has an approximate of 18,200 Midi-Chlorians."

Once he uttered those words, all the Jedi in the room couldn't help but widen their eyes, Yoda himself raised a brow at the substantial amount, greater than even his own.

Windu had an obvious frown while speaking, "18,200 is one of the largest amount we have seen, 2nd only to Anakin Skywalker. Not to mention we're unsure whether he adopts the ways of a Jedi, or Sith based off the official reports that states he used both in battle... He's simply a dangerous unknown anomaly."

Yoda ignored Windu's words as he noticed Obi-Wan's expression was still troubled, "More there is, Master Kenobi?"

Obi-Wan hesitated for a second or two, before deciding to speak, "The weird thing is that in the official records it says he was born with 14,500 Midi-Chlorians, but a few years later it went up to 16,000 and now it seems to be 18,200..."

Yoda furrowed his brows until slowly closing them, as the rest of the room was dead silent creating a tense atmosphere.

Kit Fisto's usual smile was gone as a serious expression adjourned his features, "Are you insinuating that General Raven has the ability to manipulate, or increase his Midi-Chlorians somehow?"

Obi-Wan apprehensively replied, "To be frank, I'm quite unsure, since such an ability is unheard of."

Yoda's eyes opened as he then spoke, "Possible it is, but doubt I do. More to this situation, there is, investigate more you shall."

Obi-Wan could only nod as he swiftly exited the council chamber, leaving the rest of the Jedi in thought.

Shaak Ti herself had a suspicious expression, her and Silas had plans to meet more, but now it seemed he was hiding something.

'Regardless it seems I'll be assigned a station to supervising the creation of the clones at Kamino, meaning that I'll probably have less opportunities to talk with Silas since we'll both be busy... I suppose I can entertain that fool before we both leave, and who knows, maybe I'll get some answers from him.'

She huffed inwardly, seemingly in denial of the feelings she feels for him.

[Silas POV]

Dozens of hours had passed in the Medical Bay as Silas went through thousands of clones already.

Even R2 was starting to get tired as his usual energetic mood was nowhere to be found.

Surprisingly Silas's features showed no signs of exhaustion as he was sitting beside the bed with a calm expression.

Once he was about to call for the next person.

He stopped himself as he sensed some incoming presences.

And just a few seconds later, Anakin in his usual battle armor, with Ahsoka beside him entered through the door.

"So this is where you've been R2, I thought you ran off on me." Anakin chuckled as he and Ahsoka stopped in front of the two.

R2 would then beep wearily as he bumped into Anakin's leg repeatedly.

Beep.

Beep.

Anakin raised a brow, "What'd you make him do for him to get so tired?"

Silas stood up as he answered, "Just some simple medical check ups for the clones, I thought R2 would be more useful than a normal medical droid, so I borrowed his help." His eyes momentarily locked onto R2's figure, making sure the droid kept it's mouth shut, which sent the message as R2 shook his head in agreement.

Anakin just nodded, "I see, well it seems-"

His words were cut off as Ahsoka stepped forward, "You said you'd make more time for me, so do you think it's possible if we can train now?" Even though she stepped forward assertively, her expression turned slightly anxious as she watched him anticipatedly.

Anakin was once again about to interfere, but Silas had already stepped forward as he placed a hand on her head, "Of course, we haven't had a joint training session yet, might as well get in the habit of it."

Ahsoka's lip's bloomed into a smile at his words, as Silas then stepped outside with her following after.

Anakin had a helpless smile as he shook his head and walked right behind the other two.

Expect more consistent posts from now on.

Because trust me, I know it sucks when authors take a long ass fucking time to post chapters which is why I've been trying to organize the next few chapters.

My goal is to post 3-5 chapters a week, adding to the fact that I want to get back into the good parts of the story as compared to this rather boring arc, so maybe in 2-3 chapters we'll be back at the war, where things get rather interesting.

So trust the process guys, the future chapters should get pretty entertaining, so don't give up on it yet.

And let me know yall thoughts!
