Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

Chapter 17 Suppression Chip, Don't Waste Time

The atmosphere inside the spaceship was somewhat tense.

Lance was holding Gugu, with R2 at his feet and the cockpit behind him.

Opposite them were the Extraordinary Squad and the Carter couple.

It was as if a clear-cut river flowed between them, separating the two groups of people.

Only the little girl Omega stood in the middle of the "river," telling the story of the suppression chip.

"Those clone soldiers... they didn't do it on their own."

Lance had heard his master mention suppression chips before.

All he knew was that the purpose of the chips was to enable soldiers to become qualified soldiers.

Perhaps even Master Pro didn't know the specific function of the chip...

Lance frowned and looked at her:

"continue."

Omega took a deep breath and continued explaining:

"From birth, clones have inhibitor chips implanted in their brains."

"Once a specific instruction is received, their behavior will be forcibly changed."

"Order No. 66 is such an instruction."

She paused, her expression somewhat downcast:

"Those clones who attacked the Jedi...were not truly betraying them."

"They simply... lost their choice."

Lance's gaze narrowed slightly.

Omega glanced at the hunters and continued:

"The vast majority of clones are unable to resist; the suppression chip will directly control their nerves and even modify their memories."

Even if they know it's wrong, they can't stop.

"But they are different."

She pointed to the members of the Extraordinary Squad.

"They had genetic differences from the very beginning."

"It is these 'defects' that hinder the function of the suppression chip."

"Um... except for the echo."

She pointed to a cloned soldier with a thin, pale face, metal discs in his ears, and a mechanical arm in his right hand.

"The chip in his brain had already been removed, and he was unaffected."

Lance remained silent for a long time, his grip on the sword hilt tightening as he recalled the Jedi who had fallen to the muzzle of the clone soldiers.

The Force was telling him that what the little girl in front of him said was true.

Even if those clone soldiers were forced into it, the damage they caused was irreversible.

Moreover, as long as the suppression chip remains in their brains, Order 66 will continue to be executed.

The next time we meet, it will still be a fight to the death.

Lance looked at the hunters with a complicated expression.

After a long while, he hung the sword hilt back on his waist, but he did not completely let his guard down:

"Although you are not controlled by the chip, I advise you to remove that thing as soon as possible."

The technician adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed the situation:

"agree."

"We are able to remain unaffected now, but that doesn't mean we will always be able to."

"If there is an opportunity, removing the chip would indeed be much safer."

King Qingzhang raised his hand to touch his forehead and asked hesitantly:

"Does that mean...we have to cut his head open?"

He nodded in response, his face calm.

"Of course, otherwise how would we get it out?"

The Clearance King retorted with a single sentence:

"Hmph... You make it sound so easy."

The hunter shrugged, a hint of helplessness in his expression:

"We can't go back to Camino now. Where are we going to find professional medical equipment?"

No one could answer this question at the moment.

The air fell silent once more.

But the atmosphere has eased considerably.

Omega looked curiously at Gugu in his arms:

"How cute! What's his name?"

She was instantly charmed by the adorable little guy.

With sparkling eyes, I couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

"stop."

Lance spoke up to stop him.

Although he sensed the little girl's kindness, he did not let go of his wariness.

The hunters and others immediately tensed up, fearing that the other party might harm Omega.

Upon hearing this, Omega immediately stopped in his tracks.

She glanced at Lance somewhat timidly, but was immediately drawn to Gugu.

"Eeya."

Instead of being afraid, Gu Gu stretched out her little hand and reached out to grab Omega.

Lance followed his gaze and it seemed that the little guy had taken a fancy to someone else's forehead ornament.

At the center of the oval-shaped ornament is a light gray gemstone with engraved patterns.

It combines elegance and mystery, and is quite valuable.

Of course, Gu Gu doesn't care about the value; she simply likes things that are sparkly.

Lance raised his hand and pressed his small hand down:

"That belongs to someone else; you can't take it."

Gu Gu shook his head and reached out his hand again:

"Yay!"

Omega was taken aback by what he heard, and touched the ornament on his forehead, a gift from Nara Sai.

She pointed to the forehead ornament and asked somewhat uncertainly:

"Is this what you want?"

Gu Gu nodded, still reaching out to grab:

"Eeya."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Omega's eyes, but she still took it off and placed it in her palm:

"Since you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Eeya!"

A surge of primal force emanated from Gu Gu's body, and then the ornament slowly floated up and landed in his hand.

Omega stared wide-eyed, once again astonished by this mysterious power.

At the same time, it also aroused her curiosity.

Is this the power of the Jedi?

How did they do it?

She had always lived in the clone base in Kamino and had heard Nara Sai mention that there was a Jedi Master in the base, but she had never seen him and did not know what kind of abilities the Jedi possessed.

Every time she asked Nora Sai, she was given the runaround and prevented from meeting the Jedi Master.

Just a moment ago, Lance sensed a powerful primal force within Gu Gu's body.

only......

Gu Gu can only command a very small portion of them.

He guessed that perhaps it was because he was too young to control that powerful force.

Lance looked at Gugu, who was having a great time, and shook his head helplessly.

The tense atmosphere in the air was broken by Gu Gu's laughter.

The members of the Extraordinary Squad secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease.

Jedi have a mixed reputation, but a young Jedi who can take care of children is unlikely to do anything to harm Omega.

Sue crossed her arms, a maternal smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips, and nudged Carter gently with her elbow.

The two looked at each other and smiled, clearly recalling their children.

They were just as adorable as babies.

now.

Lance sensed their goodwill, and his guard was reduced by most of it.

The little one happily played with the gift from Omega, giggling incessantly.

Omega looked at him, and the laughter in her ear melted away her sadness at leaving Camino and Nara Sai like a warm current.

She mustered her courage and stepped forward, expecting to be scolded again, but to her surprise, she was somewhat surprised.

She was slightly taken aback, then a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Stop wasting time, let's start the spaceship and get out of here."

Lance shifted his gaze from Omega to the rest of the Extraordinary Squad.

The hunter shook his head:

"Not yet."
