Hey! Hope you’re doing great 🥰 and feeling well
Love your writing! and I was thinking of an AU where Hunter’s chip activated instead of Wrecker on Bracca, with a fem reader and omegas reaction…of course if you feel comfortable with it.
Have an amazing day!
Aloha! I'm doing okay, thanks for asking :)) Hope you are doing well too!
Interesting request! Let's look into it!
Hunter x Fem!Reader One-Shot - You Are In Violation Of Order 66...
Tumblr media
Warning: Angst / Canon Typical Violence / Inhibitor-Chip Trigger In Hunter / Hurt
____________________
Tumblr media
It shouldn't really be a surprise. You came here for a reason. Hunter had been having frequent headaches and exhibiting conspicuous behavior sometimes. That's why you're here today on Bracca in the junk Jedi Cruiser. The guys should all have their chips removed.
Hunter is supposed to go first, but when Tech goes to sedate him, it happens. The chip asserts itself and activates. Hunter's hand jumps out and grabs Tech's wrist to keep the sedative away from himself.
Tech's expression is shocked and worried.
"Hunter?"
The other hand reaches for Tech's neck.
"Hunter!" croaks Tech.
"You are in violation of order 66…"
You hear the words and your stomach wants to turn upside down. You hurriedly push Omega behind you to protect her. Your gaze jumps frantically around the room. Rex and Wrecker are outside, still on their way here. Only Echo and Tech are with you.
"Go and hide", you whisper to Omega.
Echo's gaze briefly meets yours, but then you're distracted, Hunter knocking Tech off his feet with a kick and knocking him out.
As Hunter's head whips around and looks in your direction, your blood freezes in your veins. His gaze is cold and fixed. That's not your Hunter there. Then he notices Echo heading for his blaster. They have all taken off their equipment because of the scan and the treatment that was to follow.
Both men rush at the same time to get to the blasters. Hunter is faster. You don't really think, before Hunter can turn the blaster on Echo, you leap forward and kick his wrist. The blaster falls out of his hand and slides across the metal floor under a cabinet.
You should have seen it coming, yet his fist hits you like a steam hammer, right on the sternum. You stagger back and gasp for air, that would definitely hurt for a while. Staggering back, you bump your back against a wall.
At first, you can't breathe, the blow has driven the air out of your lungs and knocked you off balance. Adrenaline and panic flood through you. Omega had hidden as you had asked her to. You can't see her anywhere, that's good, then Hunter can't see her either, but you don't doubt he'll find her if no one stops him.
But right now, Hunter is focused on you. He charges at you, and at first you can't help but reflexively raise your arms in front of your body and close your eyes, waiting for him to attack you. But nothing happens.
Instead, you hear a commotion. You open your eyes and see Wrecker wrapping his long, strong arms around Hunter from behind, Echo holding his legs, and Rex picking up the sedative Tech dropped to inject into him.
Within seconds, Hunter's resistance wears off, and finally he is unconscious. Wrecker lays him on the scanner's stretcher.
Your heart races, your muscles tremble. With a trembling hand, you rub your sternum. Taking a few deep breaths, you turn to Tech, who is just coming to, and help him to his feet.
"Are you all right ad'ika?" asks Echo.
"Yeah, sure, just a little shocked," you say somewhat absentmindedly.
"What about Tech?" asks Wrecker.
Tech says with a groan, "It's okay, a few bruises, nothing earth-shattering".
Omega comes storming out of hiding and wraps her arms around you. She looks distraught and is shaking.
"It's okay," you say softly, stroking her blonde hair reassuringly. "That was just the chip, we're going to remove it now, and then we'll have our Hunter back."
_______________
You sit at Hunter's side. The procedure took longer than expected, and he has been lying still for a while now. Omega has fallen asleep in Wrecker's arms.
You are about to fall asleep yourself when Hunter finally stirs. Nervously, you watch him. He rubs his eyes, moans softly and slowly straightens up to sit. Hunter looks at you and his expression becomes soft and sad.
"Cyare," he says softly, "I'm so sorry."
He gently reaches out and places his hand on your chest, right where his fist had hit you before.
"I hurt you"
You smile and say softly, "It wasn't your fault. Just a bruise, nothing bad".
He sighs and gently pulls you close, wrapping his arms around you. You don't tell him how much you've frightened yourself, you don't want him to blame himself even more, you know he already feels bad.
"How is Omega?" he asks softly while still holding you in his arms.
"She wasn't hurt, she was scared, but she's fine".
You point to Wrecker, who is holding Omega in his arms.
Hunter kisses your temple.
"Good thing you stopped me, I think I would have killed Echo otherwise".
You swallow, the thought has crossed your mind too.
He gets up from the stretcher and pulls you to the side with him.
He says sternly, "We should get moving, so something like this doesn't happen to another one of us."

Febuwhump Day 4: Obedience
Fandom: Star Wars The Bad Batch
Summary: It takes place when Wreckers inhibitor chip activated.
  Inhibitor chips were scary. That's how Wrecker saw it. In a simple form at least. He saw them for more then just that. They were inhumane. They were cruel. They were so many things that it was hard to comprehend them.
    But at least his never activated. When Rex had showed up and had told them that he knew where to get them removed, the batch followed. They knew it was dangerous. The chips made them a danger to their loved ones.
    Then it happened. Wrecker hadn't thought his headaches were a big deal. He looked at his family and suddenly it didn't matter that there were his family, that he cared about them. He blindly obeyed the chips orders.
    Never once did he think he was wrong. It was like his mind had been taken over completely. The men in front of him may be his family but they were traitors. The girl may be his sister but she needed to be brought back to Kamino. She never should have left.
    Someone else had grabbed the rains. Wrecker had never been one to blindly obey orders but now he couldn't stop himself.
    They tried to stop him. Tech laid still on the ground from where the man had choked him. Hunter and Echo seemed nervous to hurt him. They tried to see if Tech was okay but couldn't make their way towards him.
    Rex didn't seem to pay attention to who Wrecker was. He was a man under a terrible influence. He didn't want him dead but he didn't want him close.
    Trying to get close seemed dangerous. The group tried to get Wrecker's gun away from him. Hunter yelled for Echo to get Omega out of there, just in case.
    The man did as he was told.
    Soon they would have him under control. Not before he knocked Hunter out and pinned Echo. Rex had been thrown aside and Omega had been cornered before Rex stunned him.
    When Wrecker woke up, he felt the shame. The memories of what he had done to his family haunted him. He couldn't look them in the eyes. It almost physically hurt.
    Tech's neck was bruised. There were dents in Echo's legs. Hunter seemed to have a sensitivity to light he didn't normally have. Omega was close to him, trying to comfort him. Rex seemed mostly unfazed.
    As the others started to get their chips removed, Wrecker wondered if this is how Crosshair feels. The blind obedience was something that, once out of it, wouldn't haunt you.
    It was like the worst kind of manipulation. You can't see through it. You're so loyal to your family and then, in an instant, all those years don't matter. It was the worst feeling. That guilt wouldn't go away. At least the chip was gone.

Six seasons down, one more to go. The inhibitor chip and Yoda arcs were very, very good.

I found this really cool article a little while ago that talks about how Crosshair has gotten his inhibitor chip removed. I know some people believe that Crosshair hasn't gotten his inhibitor chip removed, and I respect that. Maybe he got his chip removed, maybe not. Maybe the chip is still there, but it's damaged. I don't know, I don't work for LucasFilm or whoever makes The Bad Batch.

So do you disagree with the inhibitor chip story overall or only with Wrecker?
Okay, so, I disagree with the in-TCW rhetoric around the chips.
At first, there’s this emphasis from the Kaminoans that the chips prevent clones from betraying the system they ‘serve’ and prevent them from succumbing to some sort of violent tendency that’s inherent in their biology or psychology. Given that a MOC was the blueprint for the clones, the implications of this are quite racist.
And there was this interesting suggestion during TCW that the chips were made of organic material and thus organic to the clones' biology. And... no? These are very foreign objects in their bodies that strip them of their ability to control their own mind and make their own decisions. (The Kaminoans do explain it like this to the Jedi, but frame it as if the chip was controlling the Clones' minds and preventing them from making their own decisions when it came to committing violence against the Jedi.)
At first, I thought TBB was going to go down a narrative route that stressed that the chips are foreign objects in these men's bodies and stress that a clone is not himself under the influence of the chip.
I thought this because Omega kept repeating, "This isn't you, it's the chip."
But TBB went with a very conflicting route of embracing both narratives, but in a TBB v. the Regs sort of fashion. Hunter asks if the Regs seem any different and Tech replies they're acting much the same. But for the TBB-- they're not really themselves under the influence of the chip. Except Crosshair because, "this is who [he] is," (even though, at first, they believed his actions were influenced by the chip).
What TBB gave us is a lot of empathy and understanding from a child while the adults seemingly gave fuck all? They really seemed unconcerned about having a chip in their head and really believed they were immune from having the last vestiges of their autonomy ripped from them. They also extended a lot more empathy toward members of their group who succumbed to the chip (the: "this isn't really you") than the regs.
They really had the opportunity to expand on the Clones' individuality and personhood and the tragedy of the chips and what was stolen from the Clones, but they reduced all the Clones (except the Batch) to mindless drones. They decided, "fuck it, we're not going to touch how these men HAVE NO CHOICE and have been mind controlled and are acting OOC."

How the Clone Wars should have gone, given that Anakin was canonically a slave. (wtf Lucas?)
Rex: Yeah, we all have inhibitor chips. They make us less aggressive-- Anakin: You have slave chips. Rex: No, inhibitor chips. Anakin: Slave chips. They all need to be removed. Kix! Do you have a scanner? Kix: Er, no. You need a level 5-- Anakin: Nevermind. I'll build one. They need to come out immediately.
::slave chip comes out of one trooper who volunteered, because ARCs be crazy:: (Fives. It was Fives. Because Fives.)
Anakin: Huh. Why doesn't this have any explosive? Rex: I *told* you. They're inhibitor chips. Anakin: Nuh uh. Slave chips. They gotta do something else.
::a little later, some slicing, orders discovered::
Anakin: Slave chips! All of them out! Rex: Okay, but this is just one itty bitty bit of the GAR. There's 3 million of us. Anakin: *Lots* more scanners. Rex: ::facepalm::
::Scanners sent to every ship in the fleet and the Guard::
Fives: So who activates the chips? Anakin: Depur. Fives: ::thinking that this is a reasonable name rather than a generic term for a slave master:: Where do we find them? And can we kill them?
Cue Kamino being invaded, the Kaminoans interrogated (and Nala Se summarily executed), and relevant information discovered.
Rex: So it's the Chancellor. Anakin: No, he's my good friend. Rex: … Anakin: I'm depukrata. (The slave word for a freed slave who enslaves others.) Fives: ::no concept of natborn names:: Everyone! The general's Depukrata now! Everyone: Hello, Depukrata! Anakin: ::anakin.exe has stopped working:: Anakin: ::incoherent frothing rage:: Let's fuck some shit up! The 501st: ::cheers, gets out the heavy ordinance::
Palpatine gets wrekt. (Fuck that guy.)

Plo Koon: What would you say if I took in another mentally ill trooper?
Mace: What's in the box?

we talked abt this earlier but its probably a good thing knives apple’d himself at the end of trimax, because if he’d found out from chronica that they started chipping independents he would’ve had The Conniption Fit To End All Conniption Fits

and it’s not fair. it’s not fair he was shot down in cold blood of course but it’s even more unfair that he didn’t get to die as himself.
His armor free of the blue and grey paint cleanshaven and bald the only indicator of who he was in a small tattoo on his temple. He spent his whole life sharing his face his voice his life with millions of others and he fought and literally killed for the right to be different. To be himself but they took even that away from him and he died as just another one amongst millions.

For such a dark episode, the colours of the animation are beautiful.
I think this is the moment Cody decided he was done. He sees the clone troopers leaving, numbers dropping. The Empire arriving with TK troopers to take over. While being led by a guy who just executed someone who surrendered for peace.
I don’t know what’s happening with his inhibitor chip, but it sure looked like he had his own mind made up at this point.

As much as I love the idea of Fox being forced to shoot Fives because Palpatine threatened the Coruscant Guard, I feel there’s a lot of unexplored potential in him being under the chip’s control. For one, imagine being shunned by everyone you know and love for something you don’t remember ever doing. It’s gotta add another layer of guilt and pain to not remember the reason as to why you’ve lost everyone in your life, because you know something happened. You may even know what happened, but you don’t remember the actual moment. There’s just… nothing. You go through all that emotional angst and there’s nothing you can do about it, you can’t even explain why you did it, because you don’t remember. Also, I imagine Fox would feel pretty detached from the situation. He doesn’t remember, and in the video his helmet is on, so it would probably be pretty hard for him to truly feel remorse when his actions don’t feel like his (because they aren’t, really). He’d probably come off as a coldhearted bastard, since he doesn’t show any regret for killing Fives, even though that’s because he can’t get himself to feel like he did that even when he tries.
Another thing: Fox wasn’t in control of his actions (in this version of events), but… how do you begin to explain that? Fox didn’t hear what Fives was rambling about, and Rex didn’t believe him so he probably isn’t gonna bring it up while he’s grieving. So Fox has no idea why he couldn’t control his body, he just knows that he couldn’t. How do you tell someone that without making them think that A) you’re bullshitting them to get away with your actions or B) you’re losing your grip on reality? I cannot think of any way, because most people will question what was controlling your actions then, and Fox would not have an answer. So either he tries to tell someone and is not believed, in fact people will probably think he’s a slimy liar too which effectively makes things worse, or he doesn’t even bother and people think he’s a heartless monster because he murdered a fellow clone when he didn’t have to and doesn’t even bother attempting to explain his reasoning. He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

“Please don’t.”
Read here on Ao3!
Febuwhump 2024 | Day 19 | Prompt 19: “Please don’t.”
Rated: G | Words: 497 | Summary: Set during Season 1 Episode 1 “Aftermath” [Character Focus: Crosshair, Omega, *other Batchers mentioned*]
Crosshair has experienced headaches. More than his fair share with his optical enhancement. While they were never near as severe as Hunter’s over the years, he’d learned to take them in stride, work through the pain. But this time is different. It is insistent. A sharp, isolated pain that feels as though a blade is being driven through his skull. It’s putting him on edge.
Well, this and Hunter.
Hunter has been off since Kaller with his blatant disregard for their purpose. They were created to serve, not question orders because of political changes in the senate. Republic or Empire…it didn’t matter. Shouldn’t matter.
They’re soldiers. That hasn’t changed.
And now they’ve been arrested for treason. Because of Hunter. Because of that girl that stepped into their proximity at the most inconvenient time.
He sits down on the bench, digging his fingertips into the side of his head where the pain is driving him mad. He doesn’t notice that the girl sits down next to him until she speaks.
“You’re angry.”
He is caught off guard, glances down at her in surprise before catching himself. He sneers, “How perceptive.”
She is unaffected by his tone, staring up at him with a sad, deliberate gaze. “I know what you’re going to do, but please…don’t.”
“What do you know?” Crosshair asks sarcastically.
She takes the question seriously. “I know…it’s not your fault.” She puts a hand on his shoulder, a comforting touch. “You can’t help it.”
He is taken aback. Wants to ask what she means, what she knows. Because she does, he realizes. She knows something. She understands. He doesn’t know how or why, but she does.
He is taken away before he can ask.
<<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>
It’s excruciating at first; however, the pain goes numb. His mind goes numb. The sensation is better than the alternative. But it’s not.
Please don’t.
Crosshair is given back his armor, told his brothers escaped holding, and ordered to track them down. Arrest them. Rampart and Tarkin read his report from Kaller, they know it wasn’t his fault – it was Hunter’s decision. Hunter’s orders. Crosshair will be given leniency, as long as he continues to demonstrate his loyalty to the Empire.
He can do that.
He can do what Hunter couldn’t.
He can make his brothers understand that there’s another way, another path, besides the one they are blindly following Hunter down. Hunter is spiraling. Hunter doesn’t know, doesn’t understand.
Please…don’t.
It doesn’t take a genius to know where his brothers will go, to anticipate their plan.
But his brothers don’t listen.
They’re traitors.
To the Empire.
To him.
Please.
Don’t.
He shoots Wrecker.
Tries to shoot the others.
Not to kill. To incapacitate. He’d never kill his brothers. But these aren’t his brothers anymore. They are traitors.
Don’t.
Don’t.
Don’t.
Please.
They escape. Narrowly. Like they always do. Did. Together.
Apart.
He watches the Marauder leave him behind.
They left him behind.
The traitors. His brothers.
Please, don’t.
END

Everytime people write post Order 66 clone angst they always seem to gloss over the fact that the clones had nightmares of the order even before it went out.
Now by no means do I want to fault any of the authors who didn't include these nightmares, (bless their creativity and their hands because their work is DELICIOUS) but I think it would his on a whole diffrent level if they did.
Like- imagine you standart plot where Cody's chip get's taken out/wears off/stops working any other way. Having Cody break down and blame himself for following Order 66 is one thing, now imagine him also realizing that his biggest nightmare LITTERALY became reality.
The same nightmare which he told himself was nothing to worry about, because he'd never betray his general.
Yet he did. The republic fell and he shot down Obi-Wan.
And he can't even wake up to a better reality like he could in the past, because this is reality and not another repeating nightmare.
