Just as the ground battle had begun to wind down, an air battle was starting to ensue. Delta Six, after taking massive damage to his ship decides that directly engaging this fighter would probably cost him the ship and it's occupants. However that fighter was currently lining up the insurgents and soon would be firing on the troops below him. He hoped that the Jedi Master Lun Xan would be able to do something before that fighter got the chance.
Pushing the throttle forward, Delta Six moved the LAAT to help mop up the remaining droids on the ground. Laser fire erupted from all over the gunship, tearing into the ground around the droids, destroying one of them completely.
The Jedi-carrying Droid Starfighter ignores its rider and turns, blasting away at the soldiers on the ground, killing one of them in a cloud of crimson vapor and sending the rest in a blind panic towards the relative safety of the array's buildings. The Jedi on it takes advantage of this and slashes at the wings of the fighter, sending sparks flying and leaving a huge gash in one wing.
The Clone troopers on the ground hustled forward to surround the array's buildings, intending to flush out the remaining droid and the source of the precise shot that severely wounded one of them.
The Jedi Apprentice, Ka-Femi stayed behind, lightsaber held at the ready, watching the troopers advance. He gets a strange feeling in the Force however, as if something is watching them from far away.
The other Force Adept is nearly out of breath from concentrating on the Illusionary Jedi, she too gets a sense of strangeness as she watches from a distance the last droid run for cover.
Farther away, the spy droid slows down, ducking beneath a copse of trees to hide its movements and frantically searches for meaning in the data transmitted to it. Suddenly it picks up a transmission incoming. It is not a response to his query, but it is sent to something nearby.
Delta Six is almost startled when an image of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine appears on his holoreceiver. The sergeant below him is also similarly startled.
"All commanders, as of right now, the Jedi are enemies of the Republic. Execute Order 66. Kill the Jedi."

DRK-1X(7) moves forward 16 meters with T10+22-5(moving) =27 Hide and T10+12-5(moving) =17 Move Silently. Total cover and concealment prevents any from detecting. Now 384 meters from Hangar. Computer result T10+14 =24 vs. DC20. You determine that the data you received is a series of numbers, a code of some sort. Apparently, the code needs an input from an outside source to complete the code sequence. This kind of code usually comes from a security channel.
Clonetroopers(7) advance towards the array. They hustle forward 16 meters. Note: I made a mistake earlier, the Clones only have a Spd of 8m because of their armor.
