Fives and AZI-3 sneak into the training areas of the clone hatcheries, past young clones undergoing training. Though they try to blend in, their presence is reported as suspicious by several observant Kamino overseers. Nala Se receives the alert first, and attempts to act without drawing Shaak Ti's attention. Fives and AZI-3 arrive at the clone hatcheries, where embryos gestate in high-tech glass jars. Some detective work by AZI-3 reveals that all the clone embryos past stage three of development have an inhibitor chip implanted into their brains.

Nala Se enters the room and Fives holds her at gunpoint, demanding answers. Nala Se explains that the implants are structural inhibitor chips that are supposed to prevent clones from being overly aggressive. They were implanted at the order of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Fives is shocked to discover this was done at the Jedi's behest.

Shaak Ti arrives, having followed Nala Se with a clone security detail. She orders Fives to drop his weapon. Fives shouts that he has evidence of a conspiracy -- that Tup's aberration was the result of a malfunctioning inhibitor chip. He demands that the chips be removed from the entire clone army. But Nala Se says there is no proof of the causality of his claims, and that the removal of the chips would be dangerous. Fives countered that he has had his removed.

Nala Se is shocked. With his inhibitor chip removed, Fives is now a risk that must be contained. Despite Nala Se's objections, Shaak Ti decides that Fives must go to Coruscant, and explain his story to the Supreme Chancellor.
