Cody: Finally, Fox is here! Rex: Fox! Why were we ordered to stand down until the Coruscant Guard arrived? Fox: Because it's a hostage situation and we actually have a trained negotiator. Cody: Great! Rex: ...Where is he? Fox: In a coma. Cody: WHAT!? Rex: Then what are we supposed to do!? Fox: I'll handle it. Cody, deadpan: What... Fox, holding the communicator up to his mouth: Can we hurry this along? I have free time for the first time in a month and I want to spend it sleeping. Rex: FOX! Captor: Heh...I don't think you understand how much danger this family is in. Cody: Fox, don't be stupid! Captor: If you don't give me what I asked the smarter clone for, I'm gonna kill every single one of them. Fox: Oh, good! We're not giving you anything, so feel free to start picking them off. Rex: FOOOX!!! Cody: THERE ARE TWO CHILDREN IN THERE! Captor: A-are you really that stupid!? Rex: APPARENTLY! Fox: You're the one offering to kill your hostages, which are the only reason troopers haven't stormed that building and taken you out like an afterthought yet. Cody: I mean... Captor: Wh-- Fox: Don't let me get in the way of you simplifying my work, though. Rex: Fox, while you may have a point-- Fox: I can't wait to breeze through that paperwork. No victims to interview. No perp... Captor: No PERP!? Fox: Yeah. The moment you harm one of those hostages, you justify deadly force, and you can bet your life on the fact that I will order it. Cody: ... Captor: What gives you the right--!? Fox: Oh, my mistake. You think I'm one of the troopers who chased you into that building. No, I'm Commander Fox of the Coruscant Guard. Captor: THE CORUSCANT GUARD!? ALL OF YOU! GET THE KRIFF OUT OF HERE! GO!!! Rex: Is he talking to the hostages? Cody: Someone's coming...It's them! Rex: How did you know that would work? Fox: I'm very consistent, Rex'ika. He's a Coruscanti, so he knows not to test me when I tell him I'm willing to turn him into a sewer grate. The best part, though-- Cody raises a brow as Fox holds a finger up to his lips to hush those around him. They only have to wait a minute before they hear a single shot from a blaster. Fox: No perp. Rex: How did you--? Fox: Very consistent. He knew he wasn't making it out of there alive once I saw the family. The tubie...Tell our vod his ad is fine. Cody: I would if I could, but we actually don't know who it is. Rex: And we can't exactly ask because the mother's husband seems to think he's the father... Fox: Spread it like an STD onboard a ship then. Cody: Disgusting...
