15 Mission Successful

Silas could care less if he got rejected or accepted, so he then walked forward as he coolly mumbled,

"Wish me luck..."

Anakin instantly disappeared, before reappearing in the background as he could be seen holding a thumbs up as he secretly observed from the distance peeking his head from a wall.

Shaak Ti watched with interest as Silas stopped in front of her, his expression unknown behind his dirtied golden visor.

"Master Shaak Ti, It's a pleasure to meet you."

She smiled, "As it is for me General."

Silas then said, "I heard you were going to be the one stationed at Kamino taking care of all the clones, I just wanted to say treat them well."

Shaak Ti's smile grew as she replied, "Of course General, I will treat each clone as if they were my own brethren."

He nodded in satisfaction as he added with a calm smile, "Actually I wasn't staring at you just to talk about that."

She raised a curious brow, "Is their something you need?"

Silas chuckled, "It's more of a request... I was wondering if you were open to the idea of dinner."

He already knew what she would say, but he needed to lead the conversation on into a more respectful way, rather then being blunt about it.

Shaak Ti's eyes held a glint of understanding as she realized what Silas's intentions were, "I'm flattered General, but as you know, the Jedi do not engage in such frivolous relationships."

His smile didn't waver as he responded, "But that's only regarding emotions such as love, is it not?"

Shaak Ti couldn't help but lightly laugh, "Your bold, I'll give you that... But indeed you're right, engaging in more physical activities such as sexual intercourse isn't entirely prohibited."

"Nonetheless, I'm afraid I'll have to decline."

Silas seemed curious as he asked, "May I ask why?"

Shaak Ti responded honestly, "No offense General, but do you think hiding yourself behind a mask and asking a woman out is a smart idea?... Nevertheless, even if sex is allowed, such actions are frowned upon in the Jedi Order."

He didn't seem bothered by her comments as he glanced around and reached for his helmet, "It's only frowned upon if they find out, and if it's the helmet that's troubling you, then I'll just take it off."

Taking off his helmet, his blonde hair fell down past his shoulders as his green eyes revealed themselves.

Anakin in the background seemed stunned at Silas's features, before abruptly doing a small salute, 'Haha! He's definitely got it!'

Shaak Ti herself was also slightly surprised at his different appearance from the clones, before a small smile grew on her lips as she could only sigh in defeat, "How about this, we can trade contact information, but I shall make no promises that I will contact you."

She knew this was wrong and that she was falling for but a mere temptation, she knew this was against the Jedi teachings, but maybe once, she could do something on her own behalf and follow her desires.

And judging by her senses with the force, the man in front of her was a fair man.

While she wouldn't outright admit it, he was an attractive man, and she wasn't sure if it was the force surrounding him, but he had this air of charisma around him that seemed rather trusting.

Silas kept on a cool smile as they both tapped each others communicators, Shaak Ti reluctantly did it but once she was done, a calm smile bloomed onto her lips as she seemed proud of herself once they effectively traded information.

"Well it was nice meeting you, General Raven." She had her usual warm expression as she did a slight bow before turning around and leaving.

"I'll be sure to call." He stated from behind her.

She could only chuckle as she continued to disappear down the hallway with a whisper, "Don't expect a response."

Once she was gone, Silas looked back toward the smirking Anakin who had a proud expression while approaching his figure, "As I expected, you got the girl."

Silas put back on his helmet as he snidely remarked, "I got the girl."

Anakin repeated with a slightly raised voice, "You got the girl!"

Silas's voice went even louder as he said, "I got the girl!"

"You got the flipping girl!!" Anakin exclaimed.

"I got the fucking girl!" Silas shouted back.

They both coughed awkwardly as a duo of clones entered the hallway with a salute towards them, before disappearing.

"Let's just shut up and go." Silas nudged Anakin's back as he led the way toward his room.

Anakin had an amused expression as they continued to walk.

But after a few minutes of traversing the wide red carpet hallway, they found themselves in front of a door, as Silas tapped a few buttons beside it, causing it to slide open, with them entering.

It was a decent sized room for one person, it had a gray color scheme, with circular windows on the wall showing a nice view of Coruscant.

In the corner could be seen a two chairs on each side of a hologram circular table.

Silas curiously looked around, before sitting down on one sofa and taking off his helmet as he indicted for Anakin to sit across from him which he promptly did.

"Nice place." Anakin glanced around, complimenting the room as Silas pressed a few buttons on the hologram table.

"Thanks, it's my first time seeing it too."

Just a few seconds later, a blueprint scheme of some sort of futuristic hoverboard showed up, and of some other technologies he plans to implement like the Warthog.

"What are these?" He asks, gazing at the few blue gadgets projecting in the air.

"Yeah I had them sent to my room as soon as we landed, their new designs I plan to implement in my Legion." Silas answered as he lay back on his sofa.

Anakin seemed to disagree as he said, "A gasoline powered vehicle? Even as a kid I barely worked on them because they were so old and rusty, are you sure it's a good idea to bring such vehicles into battle?"

Silas nodded, "It will be, it's cost efficient and probably even more useful compared to our other military vehicles since we lack so many mobile ground vehicles."

Anakin shrugged, "I suppose."

Silas looked toward Anakin as he questioned, "Want some work?"

Anakin raised a brow, "Who would want work?"

Silas simply chuckled, "One of the schematics here shows a military level hoverboard I wanna create with my specific adjustments, but I know the manufacturers are probably really busy currently, and I heard your a tech genius, so I planned on asking you to create it. 

"A hoverboard? You wanna take a hover board to battle?" Anakin asked exasperatedly. 

Silas smirked, "You'd be surprised at how useful and fast a hoverboard is in battle, so if you have time I'd like you to create it with the specific designs I have on the blueprint."

Anakin shrugged, "Alright we have some time till we get deployed anyways."

After a few seconds of silence, Anakin remembered why he initially came here.

His expression turned annoyed as he said, "And what's with the Padawan thing? She'll just slow us down."

Silas shook his head, "Similar to what Yoda said, she'll be a good lesson for you."

Anakin furrowed his brows, "What could a Padawan teach me?"

"You and me both know that's not what I meant... And while Master Yoda didn't outright say it, I think his main reason is to teach you responsibility and so you can become attached to her."

Anakin's eyes narrowed seriously, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Silas continued to speak casually as he said, "Don't get me wrong, I could be incorrect, but their are probably two reasons he gave you a Padawan."

Anakin listened attentively as Silas continued.

"The first reason would be that he wishes to teach you responsibility."

Anakin nodded, it was a simply reason but made sense.

"But the 2nd reason most likely is so that you can become attached to her, and when the time comes you'll be forced to let go of her, which the Jedi believe will allow you to become a true Jedi Master."

Anakin's expression turned grim with anger, "That's even more reason why I shouldn't even bother!"

Silas knew Anakin had much more to say about Yoda, maybe even curse him, but as usual, he remains loyal to the Jedi and tries to ignore all the distrustful things they do.

As for why, even Silas didn't understand why Anakin didn't just quit and go on his own path, but he guessed he probably had strong attachments to the Jedi Order itself since he grew up there.

"Anakin your thinking to deeply on it, I think you should just accept her and prove Yoda wrong by staying true to your beliefs while also embodying what a Jedi should be, and like I said earlier, trust me when I say she'll prove a good lesson to you."

Anakin calmed down as he scoffed, but actually thought it wasn't a bad idea when he really pondered on it, because if Silas was right, all he had to do was stay true to his beliefs and show them he could love while also being a Jedi.

But he knew how the Jedi Order was, because if their was one thing he hated about the Jedi, was that he wasn't allowed to have an attachment with the people he loves.

'Maybe if I take on this Padawan and prove to Master Yoda that I can become a Jedi Master even if I grow attached, he'll understand and might even allow mine and Padme's relationship.'

After thinking for a few seconds, Anakin finally speaks with a grumble as he stood up, "I'll think about it."

Silas could see the resignation to his fate as a Master in his eyes, taking it as a yes.

He watched Anakin leaving with a copy of the hoverboard's blue schematic in hand.

But before Anakin fully exited the door, Silas added, "Let's do some training tomorrow."

Anakin glanced behind him and did a curt nod before disappearing down the hallway's.

Once the door slid closed, Silas relaxed back on his chair, but he quickly remembered that he has to create more battle plans and devices which can completely defeat whatever enemy he faces.

Them being robots makes his job even easier, as he then started typing down on his hologram table for countless hours.
