"Uh, okay, that at least reduces the immediate threat. All right. Either I or the Chancellor will contact whoever's in charge of this in, let's say half an hour. Tell the rest of the Jedi to search for any relevant evidence to the case, and we'll send some legal representatives as well."

"I'll pass that on to Master Windu, Vice-Chancellor; he's already on-site, meeting with the Kaminoan Prime Minister - who is apparently also the biggest boss of the cloning project - that he will undoubtedly be glad to finish."

She does so, via text comm, and attaches the last audio exchange; immediately afterwards, with her orders cued up in case of protests, she sees to securing every single data-bearing device she can sense.

Nala Se will not object. She has backed out of the room by now. The Vice Chancellor. The Vice Chancellor. Oh no. Oh no.

Windu has about wrapped up his conversation with Lama Su. He does ask to see several rooms that were previously considered private, but he doesn't find anything noteworthy there.

Lama Su will frantically reread all cloning-related court cases... which mostly suggest that what they've been doing is legal? It's plausible? But there really aren't many cases, and nothing of anywhere near this size, so they could be in a bit of trouble. Then she'll respond to the call from the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, because today hasn't been awful enough already.

Kina wants to know if the design for those loyalty chips was Kaminoan or provided by a third party! Anyone?

It appears to be a Kaminoan design! If she pokes around, she'll notice that one of the many features of the chips is minor memory enhancements - up to a hundred special orders can be easily memorized and assigned code numbers. For example, Order 66 is "return squad to base." (The orders can be reassigned by high-ranking commanders to correspond to different instructions, but it looks like they're still on the defaults for now.)

...She kind of wants to take this technology, strip it of its brainjacking applications, and get one herself.  It seems - useful, to have a teeny little datapad conveniently right next to her brain.  But she's not going to say that out loud. It'd get theological, and that's worse than politics.

It doesn't have that much storage, but in any case, the Kaminoans are not in the mood to give her fancy technology even if she was going to use it.

In other news, the clones are based off of a really cool template! He's really strong, and smart, and resilient, and he's known as one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy!

"The Jedi are interrogating me about what now?" Well, it was only a matter of time until they found out.

She hasn't even told them she's interested, so it's not like they know to refuse her anyway.

"The several thousand clones of you, Mr. Fett, and who was responsible for their creation," Kina says over an encrypted holocomm line to his cell.

Cold smile. "Go to hell."

"I think I'd rather not go back to Tatooine, if it's all the same to you.

"...So what happened?  Because - you have clearly decided to not-cooperate with Jedi for a reason, and - ...honestly, I suspect it's the sort of reason that nothing short of a miracle will change, but...I have to ask.  Not because I think it's going to - get me any information, but because you should be treated with the same compassion I try to extend to everyone, and this is clearly...a deep, festering injury you've been dealt.  I - can't leave that."

"Compassion. Yeah, I'm not really feeling that."

"I could have just killed you, when you were blowing up the Senate.  No law would have barred me, nor censured me afterwards.  Not even the Order would have.  You're alive, and not being accomodated any worse than refugees at the Temple are, modulo external-access privileges.  Take that as evidence."

"Well, I'm very grateful. Bye."

"If you ever feel like figuring out what it is that caused the problem with Jedi you have, I can pull some records.  Because whatever it is, it ought not have happened, and we can't stop it from happening to the next guy if we don't know what it is."

Blank stare.

...Is that a stare of confusion, or stonewalling?

It is very blank.

Kina raises an eyebrow, and texts the Jedi Sentinel watching his cell for an emotion-reading.

Angry, but also a little happy if he's pissing her off.

He really isn't.  She's surprised he's talking at all, really.

She signals the Sentinel to pay close attention.

"Well, if you want to tell us what Sheev Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, wanted with an army of you marching under the Republic's banner, you know how to contact someone."

How does he feel now?

About the same. It's not like he can get in any more trouble.

"...If you're willing to actually help, you might ever be released from prison, you know."
