Anakin frowns in thought as he watches Obi-Wan explain the situation. Sometimes, he thinks, it's a little funny that systems that want to stay neutral still end up asking the Republic for help though they can't take sides, of course. But now probably isn't the time to bring up Mandalore. Still, it's something that he finds rather irritating, to say the least. Then again, at least in this case, perhaps they'd change their minds about the Republic if they receive Jedi help. There was that, at least.

"So they're effectively being blockaded by something they can't explain?"

Wonderful.
