Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker overlook a holographic representation of their forces.
Windu: The droids have overrun our main production facility. It won't be long before the Separatists take Anaxes, compromising our entire reserve fleet.
Rex and Cody then walk in.
Cody: Pardon the interruption, General, but Rex here has a good theory as to why we keep, uh... losing.
Windu: Please, Captain.
Rex: The droid army uses analytics to predict our strategy. The first time we use a tactic, it's very effective. The next, less so. In fact, the more we use a certain tactic, the less effective it becomes. The learn our tendencies and use that data against us. To counter them, we're constantly working out ways to vary our attack.
Windu: But the losses we are experiencing on Anaxes are not commonplace.
Rex: Exactly. The counterattacks are so specific, it's my strategy the droids know, my playbook.
Cody: My concern is that Rex is one of our best. If the droids can learn to defeat him, we may all be vulnerable.
Windu: What do you propose?
Cody: Let Rex and me take a small squad behind enemy lines. There's a Separatist Cyber Center which relays all battlefield intel to their command ship. If we're going to find anything, it will be there.
Windu: If you think it'll help turn this fight around, get going.
Rex: Thank you, General.
Anakin: Rex, is there anything else?
Rex: ... No, General.
The two Clone leaders walk away.
