Day 9

Rex's POV

9 Days have passed since Commander Tinguard and Commander Tano went missing. General Skywalker had us search the entire sector to no avail. None of the boys including me have gotten a wink of sleep. General Kenobi has ordered us back to the front several times. Skywalker has blocked all his transmissions about 24 hours ago. We still have no clue where the two Commanders are. The entire grand army of the Republic has been notified of their disappearance. Then again, there is a thought that they didn't want to be found. General Skywalker already said that they fell in love. Maybe they wanted to fake their death to be free from all their responsibility. It hurts to think that I may never see them again. I'm happy that they found love through all the rules and warfare. If they could find a way through all the stress, responsibility, and anxiety to love, then they deserved to be with each other. In fact I believe that some of that force sorcery had a hand in getting them together.

I was with the boys in the small hangar aboard the Twilight. Jesse and Kix were watching the scanners for countless hours. We're all tired and pissed off that we found nothing. "AAAHHHGG COME ON YOU LOUSY PIECE OF BANTHA SHIT!!! SHOW US SOMETHING!!!" Jesse screamed. Kix punched the wall, "THIS IS POINTLESS!!! WE'VE BEEN SEARCH FOR DAYS AND THOSE TWO ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!! GENERAL WINDU DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO HELP HIS OWN PADAWAN BECAUSE HE THINKS THE WAR IS MORE IMPORTANT!!! Rex, you gotta make some calls. We need more eyes out here."

Coincidentally at that same time, a transmission came through. ARC Captain Chase was the one calling. "Rex, my company and I just finished up work on Kashyyyk. We just made the jump to hyperspace and are on our way to your position." He said. I nodded out of exhaustion, "That's great news. We need all the help we can get." "We aren't abandoning our friends. We'll be there shortly." Chase finished and ended the transmission.

I ran on to the bridge where General Skywalker was meditating. "General, Chase just contacted us. He's coming to help look for the Commanders." I reported. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to look out the windows. "General, what's happening?" I asked. Skywalker took in a long breath, "I know where they are. They're in Wild Space."
