Things got real different, real fast.
It seemed to be a very calm day for quite some time. The war seemed to be coming close to an end, as Count Dooku had been killed on the Invisible Hand and they had just got confirmation that General Kenobi had taken down General Grievous once and for all. Two of the biggest players in the war were down. If nothing else, perhaps it would be easier to negotiate peace talks with the Separatist Council without Dooku or Grievous sabotaging any attempts.
Commander Fox still felt rather uneasy.
