#tbb the clone conspiracy

[sleep-deprived-weasel]

“It is my opinion that this legislation is our future.”

I absolutely love the wording of this line in “Truth and Consequences.” Even under the pretense of ‘democracy’ this is no less than an imperial decree. Everyone in the senate knows it, and there’s nothing Riyo or Bail can do. Palpatine’s ‘opinion’ is law.

[i-dont-know-how-this-site-works]

I've truly hit rock bottom.

The major complaint with all our delusional takes regarding Tech's survival is that we are taking them out of our asses, but in this case, it is quite literally outta someone's ass.

Look, I don't wanna dunk on my main man, but Tech's got no booty. He is as flat as an airport landing strip in the Netherlands. I don't know what voodoo dark magic Nala Se did to strip Tech of the standard issue clone tushy, because our next possible candidate for Clone CX-2 is Cody, and dude is packin'.

Exhibit 1:

Certified 0° booty.

Exhibit 2:

That's a category 10 booty right here ^.

Now, fortunately for us the creatives put Clone CX-2 in a leotard from the waist down, so we got an unobstructed view of the clone's behind and I gotta say, it's some pretty convincing evidence right here that CX-2 is Tech.

Also, I made this account three years ago and have never changed the profile picture before, but today I did cause delusion is swallowing me whole.

Conspiracies

Day 28 ~ CCTV ~

Echo

Word Count: 1215 (heh, that's my birthday (which is the reason Fluke's number is that in reverse)) Content: conspiracy, reference to major character death because apparently I can't leave Fives' death alone, righteous anger, confrontation, sith magic (Fox), star wars sign language

Mando'a Guide: vode - brothers hut'uun - coward; worst possible insult to mandos osik'la - shitty sheb'palon - asshole dini'la jetii - insane jedi di'kut - idiot

Echo’s eyes turned glassy as he watched the footage. The audio was corrupted, but he could see his twin’s anguish, his fear- he could feel it in his own bones.

As Fox fired, Echo recoiled–as though he’d taken the hit himself–jerking his arm back, still stuck in the scomp port. 

He groaned, willing the scomp to twist and release him from the images being burned into his mind.

He’d been a fool. Rex told him everything he’d wanted to know about Fives’ death. He told him everything Fives said, everything he said. Every dismissal from his former general. That particular newfound blame and resentment would have to be left to simmer in his gut. He couldn’t confront a general. A commander, however…

Echo had collected himself quickly, rushing back to the officers’ barracks they’d housed him in, covering himself in the new armor he’d received. 

The walk wasn’t long, fortunately, but he struggled to push that horrid image from his mind.

“Fives, stay with me, Fives! Fives!”

“The mission… the nightmares… they’re finally over…”

“Fives? No, Fives… come on, Fives. Don’t go! Stay with me. Stay with me.”

He shuddered beneath the chill that rolled down the cybernetics that lined his back. He wasn’t sure he’d ever forget the haunted final words of his twin. 

The door to the Coruscant Guard office slid open, and the trooper currently condemned to front desk duty sat up, clearly confused by the sight before him. He seemed to be a shiny and looking up to see a brother, wrapped in burn scars, metal, and unique armor with a particularly pissed expression? Well, Echo couldn’t blame the slight panic he saw flash across his face.

“Where’s Fox?” he growled, all hints of calm or politeness eradicated from his voice.

The shiny pointed down a hallway. “His office,” he nearly whimpered. “Last door on the left.”

“Thanks,” he muttered as he stormed down the hall.

He didn’t bother knocking, scomp whirring the door open.

Fox sputtered, rising from his chair. “What the hell? Who the kriff are you?”

“Who the kriff are you to go around murdering your brothers?” Echo roared, closing the short distance between him and the commander.

Echo grabbed Fox’s chest plate, slamming him against the wall, his scomp pressing into his ribcage. “How many vode did you kill today? Does the number even matter to you?”

Fox’s scowl didn’t change. “You must be that ARC Cody told me about. Not surprised to see you here.” He tapped a button on his vambrace. “Call Captain Rex, 7567 from the 501st. Tell him to get his ass down here yesterday.”

Echo chuckled humorlessly. “What, are you gonna murder me in front of him just like you murdered Fi–”

“Fives didn’t give me a choice,” Fox said, his voice too calm, too even, despite the way his head seemed to jerk painfully. “He tried to assassinate the Chancellor–”

“He’d never do anything like that without a reason!” Echo snarled, throwing Fox to the ground. He was about to jump on him when a familiar voice stopped him. “Fives, no!”

“Echo, stand down!” Rex shouted as he pulled his brother away from the commander. Cody moved past to Fox as Echo struggled against his Captain.

“This hut’uun murdered Fives right in front of you!” Echo raged. 

Rex growled. “Echo–”

“I was following orders,” Fox spat. 

Cody sighed, “Fox, don’t–”

“That order was wrong and you know it! Fives needed help, not a kriffing blaster bolt to the chest!”

“That’s enough, Echo!” Rex screamed, finally wrestling his friend into a headlock until he stopped struggling. He dragged him out of the office into an interrogation room.

“Echo, you know it wasn’t his fault,” Rex panted. He ran a hand over his face. “The whole osik’la situation was kriffed from the beginning. He didn’t have a choice.”

“We always have a choice!” Echo cried. “I read the files on Umbara; I know Fives, Jesse, and Hardcase stood up to that shebs’palon sith wannabe. I know you did, too!”

“Umbara was different,” Rex sighed. 

“It proves–”

“Echo, stop.”

“–that if an order is morally corrupt–”

“I mean it, Echo.”

“–it shouldn’t be followed just because–”

Rex was on him in an instant, grabbing Echo by the collar. “I said stow it, trooper! Before I bust your ass back down to cadet.”

Echo’s words died in his throat, coating his tongue with a sour taste. He couldn’t think of a time he’d heard Rex more angry.

Rex took a deep breath, releasing his grasp. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, moving to lean against the table.

“Rex, I–”

“You know I’m not defending Fox, right?” Rex said, his eyes trained on the room across the hall. “Fives… he wasn’t himself. He should’ve known better than to pick up my pistol. I still don’t know why he did it.”

Echo closed his eyes. He could see the security cam footage behind his eyes–not that his neural interface would let him forget it. 

“You found the footage, didn’t you?” Rex asked, his voice softer.

Echo didn’t need to answer but he nodded anyway. 

“I know why you’re angry,” he continued. “I was angry for a while, too. We always expect to lose our brothers, but not at the hands of another one.”

Echo’s thoughts were back in the files from Umbara. 

“We all know what it’s like to receive orders we don’t agree with,” Rex said, his eyes finally landing on Echo’s face. “You should know that, too.”

Echo sighed. “I’m sorry, Rex.”

“I’m not the one you threw to the floor.”

“Right,” Echo said, turning towards the door.

“Maybe thank Cody while you’re at it; his soft spot for me is probably the only reason Fox didn’t put you on your ass.”

Echo knocked this time and waited for the door to slide open.

Cody let him in with a raised brow.

“Commander,” Echo started. “I acted without thinking. I’m sorry.”

To his surprise, Fox chuckled. “Yeah, you’re one of Rex’s alright.”

Echo’s brows shot up. “I– what?”

“Little Rexy here was a firebrand back in the day, too,” Fox smirked, nodding to the captain as he joined them. “Always jumping without looking. Why did you think he got stuck with Skywalker? That dini’la jetii is the only person in the galaxy crazier than this di’kut.”

“Guess that does make sense,” Echo hummed, lips pulling in a slight smirk. 

Fox sighed. “For what it’s worth, Echo, I– I didn’t… agree with the order. I thought it was extreme.”

Echo nodded. “Thank you, Commander.”

“I was–” Fox started, before stopping with a slight gasp and groan as he clutched the side of his head.

“Are you alright, Commander?” Echo asked, startling slightly as Cody placed a hand on his shoulder, shaking his head slightly.

“I’m– ugh, fine,” Fox growled, his eyes meeting Cody’s as his hands moved somewhat rapidly.

Cody sighed as he looked up at Echo’s confused expression. “He’s using Basic Sign Language. He said ‘I am silenced, but I’m so sorry.’”

Fox nodded as Echo looked at him, continuing to sign as Cody translated.

“‘You’re part of this now.’”

Fox gestured to Cody and Rex.

“Part of what?” Echo breathed.

Cody sighed as he translated again. “‘Your twin was right about the chips, and he’s alive.’”

The monkey brain urge to play bumper cars in the senate chamber😔

[isurrendertoclones]

Ok so obviously I have my pie-in-the-sky wishes for TBB season 3 (Fox, Dogma)

But I have one wish that I, personally, think is reasonable. Let’s call it the Mention Fives Literally Once Challenge.

[amberskyyking]

Dying Isn't Very Regulation: Chapter 15

Ever trauma so hard that like, 20 people around you need brain surgery to recover from it? No? Just Crosshair? Yeah, he feels real great about that.

(A self-indulgent 5 9 16! chapter fic inspired by Snapback by @toomanyteefs with Fives and Ninety-Nine, because I have emotions about this, they deserves the world, and the narrative ran away with me!)

“I still don’t get it!” Commander Thorn’s words drifted back from the cockpit to where Crosshair was sitting, balled up in a corner of the stupid, too small, too quiet Mandalorian ship. “If we really have a chip that makes us follow these orders how come I wasn’t affected like my men?

“Because you weren’t given the order,” Tech said patiently. “It was designed to be passed down the line, from commanding officers down to their men. You never received the order from a superior, but when you repeated what Crosshair said, it was apparently enough to trigger your men… And one of ours,” He added, a little quieter, but not so quiet Crosshair didn’t catch the bitterness in his tone.

He tried to make himself smaller, pressing his back into the cold walls of the ship in his seat as nausea rolled over him. He had done that. He activated the order, it might have been Thorns words but Crosshair had been the one to put them in his mouth. It was his fault, no matter how reluctant the others were to say so. He knew they blamed him. They could hardly meet his eyes after what he did, after the things he said to Ninety-Nine, and the consequences-

“YOU!” Came a shout from the hold, along with a thrashing sound. “Conspiring with the enemy makes you a-”

The buzz of a stunner made the protest fall silent and Crosshair squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block it out. Ninety-Nine was back there with the rest of the Corries. None of them would have ever had to understand, and now they did. Was that somehow what he wanted? That was exactly what he had an entire kriffing meltdown over, wasn’t it? Ninety-Nine never had to comply with vile orders against his will, with or without the chip! He never had his body and mind ripped away from his control, never heard voices compelling him to do terrible things… Until now. The image of his face, twisted and contorted as he wrestled painfully for control, would be seared into Crosshairs mind for a long time, nevermind the feeling of a blaster in his gut or the sound of Ninety-Nine’s gut-curling scream as he somehow found the strength Crosshair never could to hold back that killing blow.

[sleep-deprived-weasel]

I think there’s something to say at this moment. When Palpatine’s platform finally rises, the holographic evidence of the attack on Tipoca City disappears. It’s as if the evidence no longer matters and disappears. Whatever the senators have left to say is dismissed. No piece of evidence is above the emperor’s word and that has been made clear.

[i-dont-know-how-this-site-works]

oh my god I just had an epiphany

The clone assassin says to Crosshair while they fight "You could have been one of us. You chose the wrong side."

And with the framing of the conversation they had with the first clone assassin it's mostly probably about the fact that Crosshair could have joined the secret ops group but then chose the side of the proto-rebellion, but WHAT IF:

what if the assassin is truly brainwashed Tech and in that moment, some part of Tech that is still buried beneath, managed to break through and Tech just leeches out all the negative emotions and the hurt and the betrayal Crosshair caused them in season 1, and what he says is this:

"You could have been one of us (the batch). You chose the wrong side (the empire's side)"

Of course, I don't think our Tech would then go on to drown Crosshair even if he is still secretly pissed about Crosshair trying to airfry them all like a christmas turkey, but considering the assassins are reprogrammed, brainwashed!Tech wouldn't be above fratricide.

[firefly-fez]

could anyone else just feel their blood boil at palpatine saying “if the clones will just blindly follow orders” as his excuse to decommission them when we all know damn well that’s exactly what he created them for. that’s what he made them do, blindly follow orders. that’s the only thing he ever needed them or wanted them to do. blindly follow orders: eliminate the jedi threat by being brainwashed to kill their best friends, to blindly. follow. orders. he never wanted them to serve the republic, or the jedi, he wanted them to accrue enough military tactical experience so they would have all the intelligence they needed when the time came. he never wanted them to serve the jedi, he wanted them to kill the jedi. he told them they were born to be loyal to the republic and groomed them to destroy it. and that job is now done so he casts them aside using the earliest available excuse that they are an inferior class of soldiers because they will blindly follow orders.

[weirdo-from-bonesborough]

okay so i'm VERY sad but i love that slip was acting just like fives did.

like his plan is almost exactly the same as fives': go to 79's, corner someone in a secluded area, look around erratically to ensure palpatine hasn't emerged from the walls like the demogorgon, tell your chosen target you stumbled into something big and give enough info for them to look into it further but no actual proof, dip.

get shot in a dark warehouse with his name forgotten to all but the few clones who managed to survive what he knew would happen and was killed to keep silent and the authority figure he begged for help that could not save him nor his brothers and ignorantly aided in the destruction of that which they set out to protect, all to the benefit of palpatine and palpatine alone

Like,,, in fives' case it kinda makes sense. 79's is in the lower levels and swamped with clones so it IS a good plan. weird that was his first idea, but still a good plan.

Slip however.

Bro. You literally just had to run for your life AWAY from the place. They know you! They know you know! They killed your bud right in front of you *in the dark*! They can and will hunt you down and you choose to go back to the scene of the crime???

he didn't even have a plan! He didn't know Riyo was gonna be there! hell, you can see him sizing her up in the background of the bar. Bro was not planning on telling her anything! He was apparently not planning on telling anybody anything because he wasn't talking to any of the other clones! just her! what was the goal here??? hide in the bar for a few days and hope they dont kick you out before rex picks you up? what?

[thatgreyjedi]

Alright, I feel like I need to do this rant now before we know anything that happens in the season finale of the Bad Batch.

So, we all know that deep down inside, we love each character of the beloved Clone Force 99. However, I have a gut feeling that in order for this season to somewhat end is that someone who is either close to the batch or is a member of the batch is going to die. Now over the course of season 2, I have had many differing theories as to who that might be, but I have a feeling that if they are to kill off anyone, it will probably be Echo.

Now my reasoning behind this is mainly looking into what Echo has gone through. First off, he was believed to be KIA during the rescue at the Citadel, which everyone believed that Echo died as a result of an explosion. However, he wasn’t dead, but captured by the Separatists and exploited to benefit their side against his own will. He had to endure the pain of consistently being used for his knowledge that he developed with his brothers in arms, all while he is too weak to fight back. When Echo was finally rescued by Rex, the Bad Batch, and the rest of the rescue party, he had to readjust himself to life without his private thoughts being infiltrated every living breathing second. However, the biggest curveball was learning of each brother from the remaining Domino Squad’s that he wasn’t aware of before being MIA. This also means that he had to deal with the death of one of the brothers he seem to be closest to (and what the fans say) was Fives, who sadly died such a tragic death all in the name of doing what he thought was right by informing everyone about the inhibitor chip conspiracy in the Fives Arc in season six. With all this mind, this proves how much Echo had to deal with in the aftermath of returning to his old life after being held against his will by the Separatists.

Now don’t get me wrong, Echo joining the Bad Batch was a great way to reincorporate Echo back into the Clone Wars Era show from both a writer’s standpoint along with an audience’s perspective. This got to show how Echo was able to adapt to being more of a cyborg than 100% flesh clone, as we have seen him in all sorts of adventures where his upgrades have proven to get the Clone Force 99 out of sticky situations. On the contrary to this, Echo didn’t grow up with the members of the Bad Batch, so his connection with them isn’t as deeply rooted as the connections between Hunter, Crosshair, Tech, and Wrecker are. This also can be used to support Echo and Omega’s unique bond with one another. Unlike the other members of the batch, both Echo and Omega grew up separately from the other four members; Echo growing up with the members of the Domino Squad and Omega basically being raised by Nala Se. Since both joined the batch later in each of their lives, they aren’t as rooted with the other brothers who had grown up with one another since they were created. This allowed for Omega and Echo to bond over the fact that they were outsiders in their own sort of way, which makes their connection so special in my opinion. That is why I believe that his death would hit Omega real hard because she could connect with him on such a level that maybe other members of the Bad Batch wouldn’t entirely understand.

To conclude my thoughts here, I believe that Echo would be the most likely choice if Dave Filoni does decide to kill off anyone in the conclusion of this season of the Bad Batch, mainly because of all the trauma he has had to endure. Him dying would finally allow for Echo to make peace with himself as he wouldn’t be in anyone physical pain, but also he would finally get to be reunited with the Domino Squad. If there was a specific reason he would die, it would be protecting Omega because of how he wants the best for her and to get that chance to grow up as a normal child.

That’s all I have for you tonight! Thank you for listening to my rant and hopefully this season will end on a good note, but if it doesn’t… I will also be depressed from a fictional sci-fi show like the rest of y’all

[nimata-beroya]

MY THOUGHTS ON TBB 2×07 "The Clone Conspiracy" & 2×08 "Truth and Consequences"

Let me start by saying that these episodes didn't go as I expected. I had a whole (not very clear) plot in my head that did not happen. At all. But I love them! It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

My thoughts and reactions are below the cut

2×07 "The Clone Conspiracy"

I gasped when I saw 79's. In a weird way, I was surprised that was still functioning, which is stupid. Of course, it's still open. The Empire is trying to rid of the Clones, but they're not gone yet, so they still need a place to get hammered. Now, more than ever, I think.

As these 2 clones talk (Cade and Slip, my beloveds), it hit me that that bar played a part in another conspiracy. Argh! 😩 The feels!! Why?! 😭

And I'm now headcanoning that this guy here is either Cade or Slip (probably, Cade since he was the one who had second thoughts first)

*sighs*

Anyway, let's continue…

It hurts so much watching the clones deal with all the crap the Empire makes them do. I just want to hug them and protect them at all cost.

As much as it hurts, I knew Cade wasn't going to live much longer. And my thought at that moment about the assassin was, "please, don't be Crosshair. Don't be you. PLEASE!!" And the scope didn't look like his but I was not sure until they showed the helmet. Of course, then the question was who the hell is that?

Wait! They're saying that Kamino fell because of a massive storm?!?!! that's the worst excuse ever! like, how not everybody automatically knows that it's a big fat lie?! Kamino? A planet used to horrible storms, so their building were made for resisting those. That Kamino?! Honestly, Rampart has absolutely no imagination or logical thought.

Of Course! It's about that recruitment bill 🙄

BAIL!!! Bail is here!

RIYO!!! WOOHOO!! THAT'S MY GIRL, FIGHTING FOR THE CLONES!! I'm so ecstatic to see her (I knew she would, since I saw that leaked pic of her with Rex and the boys) and it's so good to watch her doing what she does best.

(My Foxiyo shipping heart is wishing to see Fox too, or at least that she mentions him or something. Just a tiny hint. I know it won't happen but dreaming cost nothing)

Hmm… Rampart, I see trouble coming your way. The Emperor has no patience for failure, and you are on very thin ice. And how apparent is that you know absolutely nothing about Riyo if you think she'll be appeased so easily. Oh boy! Your end is near, I think… Unless you have a card up your sleeve, which I doubt. Oh, I'm going to enjoy watching you fall so much 😈

Harsh words from Riyo, but true. You're not getting any younger, my dears. You're getting older twice as fast, in fact. I think not only the clones are guilty of ignoring that fact. In real life and when you're young, you think that it won't happen to you, until one day you get up and say "oh Fuck" and you're old. The sad thing is that as things are going, the clones won't have enough time to enjoy life before that happens 😣

Slip, what are you doing? Oh calling Rex? Yes, yes, yes!!!

Be careful Riyo, Rampart is a snake. Actually, that's an insult to snakes. But the sentiment applies. Good thing you're not stupid and didn't believe a word he said.

Ooooooh! Bail, nice! The King of clandestine meetings. This reminds me of the fic I need to finish writing. Opps! 😅 I'm all for Organa-Riyo secret rebel meetings.

Oh fuck! Riyo move!!! No no no no no, Slip come back! No! 😖😭😭 I knew it! RIP Slip 💔

Now, Riyo, RUN!!! Run like hell! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

YES!!!! REX IS HERE!!!!! Just in time. Phew!! Now let's see who this guy is.

Wait! Oh my goodness! 😳 he killed himself. Who's this guy and what happened to him, because this seems a little too extreme for a normal trooper. Even if as a "believer". Could've he been reconditioned? Is he one of the cadets of Kamino that went through a harsher brainwashing? What??!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! They can't leave it there!!! How dare they!! Thank God they released the next episode, too, or it'd have been a hell of a week waiting.

2×08 "Truth and Consequences"

Hey!! The boys! Finally! (Well, actually the previous ep was too good, and I missed them much less than I should have)

Oh, My boy Wrecker is taking a nap. But baby, in that position you'll get a kink on your neck. Mine hurts just by watching you.

GONKY!!!!!! Thank goodness you're all right! I was afraid that he was fried for good.

Oh, Omega is meditating. Nice (hmm, I can imagine what everyone fond of the idea of her being force-sensitive will say about this. I'm not on that wagon, tho) There! From her own mouth! She's not force sensitive.

Oh, Echo!! 🥺🥺 Can I hug you?

Ok, here we go.

Well, I'm just saying that Hunter have a point. The last place they should put a foot on IS Coruscant. He's not wrong about that. BUT... also with Rex's expertise of going in and out of it without raising alarms should reduce the risks. And it's for a very good cause, so, go, go, go.

That's how it's pronounced?! I've been saying Riyo wrong all along 😕

LOL! Omega always being cute with her little wave 😊

I love that Echo is ready to testify but, yep, that wouldn't go well. Deserters don't have much of credibility. Sorry Echo.

awwwww my girls together, yes! (and that's why Omega will see Palpatine. It makes sense now)

Riyo and Omega in the Senate reminds me of Padme and Ahsoka doing the same thing.

Wait! Shouldn't have Rampart recognize Omega? Sure, he can't even imagine CF99 is in Coruscant and Omega could be any girl, but like didn't he read the reports of every incident involving them? I'm sure in one of those says there's a girl, with Omega's description, among them. Or watched a surveillance footage, something, I don't know. Right? I mean, great that he doesn't recognize her, but it's weird.

Oh, yes! The ice under your feet is getting thinner and thinner, Rampart. I can hear it cracking 😈 Oh, your arrogance is your downfall. Nothing that Riyo can do? HA!! You won't know what hit you

Ugh! Omega, my poor innocent baby. Still so naive to the unfair reality of being a clone. My heart weeps for you

Hehe, Omega tailing along to the meeting with Bail. Such a confidence in her brothers.

UGH!! That old, obnoxious hag?! I hate Burtoni. Altho, I admit that she's caving in more easily than I expected, all thanks to Omega

Ok, Rex, who are those contacts? Wolffe? Cody? Or even Crosshair? Anyone we know? Tell me!! I wanna know!!!

Oh, poor my boy!! He's not having a good day. First, zapped when he bumped that machine and now dealing with his fear of heights. I must say that Wrecker is braver than anyone. He doesn't let his fear stop him.

Hurry up boys!! Ooooh!! More plans. And combined?!

Oh my gosh, Tech!! 😆😆 "I was off by 6.4 meters. Not my best."

Definitely not the best day for Wrecker. He deserves a hug from me 😊

Get him, Riyo!! You're so done, Rampart!

Oh, fuck! Palpatine 🤬

Told you Rampart! You're done (Altho, I thought he'd be around a bit longer, but his fall fits nicely with what I think it might be the rest of Crosshair's arc, so I'm ok with this. Of course, I wouldn't have complained if they had dragged Rampart's misery for a bit longer)

Ah, of course! I'm not even surprised that Palps spinned this to his favor anyway. I know clones are doomed no matter what they do. *Long-suffering sigh*

Wait, what? Echo? what? No!!! you can't leave 😭😭 I'm with Omega here 😭😭

😭😭😭 They're hugging!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Noooooooooooooo!!! Omega looks so sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I did not expect this to happen and, even if I don't like it, I get it. It's something Echo needs to do for himself. My only solace is that, happening now by mid-season, it almost certain that Echo will be back sooner than we think.

And I have very important questions after these episodes...

Crosshair, is he safe? Is he all right? Where is he?!!!
