Cortana brings you to the clones

You follow Cortana to engineering, which has been completely modified with all of the equipment from Nakayama's space station

Aiden: What's wrong, problems with putting implants into the clones

Cortana: Well, that's the weird thing

You follow Cortana to the operation table, where one of the clone troopers is strapped to

Clone: LET ME GO

Cortana: Look

She shows you an X-ray of the clone's brain

Aiden: Is that an implant

Cortana: an inhibitor chip, it overwrites the clone's mind and makes them follow orders like droids, without emotion, all they need to hear is the right command

Aiden: but they weren't activated

Cortana: Nope, they were all deactivated, but I turned them back on and gave a new command

She hands you a note with a phrase

Cortana: Just say this

Cortana: You're gonna obey aren't you, clone

Clone: NEVER

Aiden: ACTIVATE ORDER 69

The clones' pupils get bigger

Clone: What is your command, master

Aiden: good job, do it to the rest

Cortana: on it

We have 20 operation tables, I'll make my copies, activate the inhibitor chips

Aiden: good, but you couldn't come up with anything better than order 69

Cortana: The original was Order 66, and I thought it was funny

Aiden: So you'll prep them to get fitted with the Dark Troopers armor

Cortana: yep, and just like the aldecaldos they will never be able to take it off, and they won't feel pain

Aiden: good

Cortana: There are two more clones we need to see

Aiden: you mean Rex

Cortana: Yes, but before we go to him, we will go to Jesse

Aiden: he was the clone commander who was taken out by Loba and Panam right

Cortana: Yes, and he is an ARC trooper, it will be a waste to turn him into a normal Dark trooper

You arrive at the table where Jesse is strapped to

Jesse: Do your worst General Tano will come for us

Aiden: and you'll greet her when she comes, though it will be as if my soldier

Jesse: Go to hell

Aiden: So what do you have in mind

Cortana: this

Cortana shows you the blueprints for a new Dark trooper suit

Cortana: he will become the first Dark Trooper commando

Aiden: interesting, how will it work

Cortana: Unlike the others, I'll personally need to make sure he keeps his mind and emotions, so I can't just use the inhibitor chip in his head, I'll need to replace it with a new implant and carefully make him obedient without damaging the rest of his brain

Aiden: so he won't be emotionless like the other Dark troopers

Cortana: Exactly

Aiden: well go ahead

Cortana: I will, but let's not forget about Rex

You head for a secluded operation table where Rex is being held

Aiden: hello Rex

He doesn't say anything

Aiden: nothing to say, fine

Aiden: Do you think he's ready for the Atom Smasher suit

Cortana: he's our best choice

Aiden: bring the suit up

Cortana: As you wish

The suit comes out of the floor so Rex can see his prison

Rex: What the hell is that

Aiden: oh he speaks

Cortana: This will be your prison, you'll serve master as the invincible cyborg killing machine

Rex: Never

Cortana: Oh you don't have a choice, the armor will melt together with your body, it will become your prison, you'll never be able to take it off, and if that wasn't enough punishment, all the systems will be hooked to your brain

Aiden: if it doesn't kill you

Cortana: true

Aiden: you'll be impacted with a new implant after the suit is on you

Cortana: If you survive

Cortana: This operation table was designed for putting the suit on, it's completely automatic, so I'll see you when it's done, either as master's new killing machine, or as a corpse

Aiden: see you alter

Cortana presses the button, and arms come out of the operation table with lasers and other tools and start operating on Rex

Rex: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Aiden: he sure can scream

Cortana: I doubt that will stop

Aiden: was that all

Cortana: It was

Aiden: Good, then time for me to head back to Liara and Jane

Cortana: Have fun breaking her

Aiden: I will
