"Rex, you have to do something," Cody insisted. Fives nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Why Don't you do something?" Rex shot back, glaring at Cody.

"She's your commander. This is none of my business," Cody replied.

"Then take your business somewhere else," Rex snapped, "and stop bringing this up."

"I don't think I can do that," Cody argued. "She's not my commander, but I'm still worried. You know what? I'll make this my business so I can do something about this since you want to ignore it."

Rex's expression softened and he sighed. "I'm worried, too, but I don't know what to do. I don't even know if she'll listen to me... or anyone."

"Maybe she won't, but you— we –have to try. The Generals aren't... they won't. I already talked with General Kenobi," Cody sighed, too.

"And?" Fives prompted.

"Something happened to her on that planet they somehow ended up on and back from in two minutes. But Kenobi wouldn't tell me what happened," Cody reported.

"Can they not see that something's wrong?" Rex blurted. "She's stopped eating, she's stopped sleeping, she's ignoring injuries more and more, and she's being even more reckless than the General."

"The problem is that I think Skywalker doesn't so much mind the one about her being reckless. She's egging his unbelievably reckless plans on instead of adding more strategy," Cody scoffed. "You're worried about her dying, but really you should be worried about your whole battalion dying."

"I wonder if General Skywalker will finally learn his lesson if she actually does die," Fives mused. Cody and Rex gave him dirty looks. "Not that I have any ideas," Fives held his hands up in surrender.

"So, what are we going to do?" Fives altered the attention of the subject.

"I don't know," Rex sighed.

"We could try just talking to her," Cody suggested.

"I don't even know if she'll listen to us," Rex groaned.

"Let's just try. If it doesn't work, then we can try something else," Cody prompted.

"Fine. We'll try."

Ahsoka entered the mess hall a few minutes late, but Rex was relieved that she at least showed up. Cody waved her over to where they sat. Fives hadn't joined them since he and Echo were shipping out in an hour and he had to get ready.

"Cody, Rex," Ahsoka greeted as she sat down.

"Commander Tano," the clones said in unison.

"So, what can I help you with?" Ahsoka asked, leaning on her elbows.

"Actually, Commander, it's what we can do for you," Rex answered.

Ahsoka gave him a questioning look.
