CC-4285-3859 eagerly made his way up the steps of the Jedi Temple. After 10 long years of training, he finally graduated from the clone commander course on Kamino, and was now an official part of the Grand Army of the Republic. Today, he would meet the Jedi he would be assigned to, and they would share command of a large force of soldiers. He finally made his way to the entrance. Massive statues and columns towered high above the trooper, inspiring a sense of awe. The commander may not have been an architect, but even he could appreciate the work put into the building. Shaking his awe aside, he walked inside. To say that the inside was bigger than he thought would have been an understatement; this place was enormous.
As he walked through the temple, he caught himself staring at the towering ceilings more than once.
He was about to head up another flight of stairs, when he heard a voice behind him.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?!" CC 3782-9756 yelled. She had been waiting for this mystery guy to move faster for 10 minutes as he walked slowly up the stairs. Little did she know that this mystery guy was going to be her partner. As she tried to make her way around him, she saw him trying to say something.
The clone turned around. "Forgive me Master Jedi, I was on my way to speak with the council." The commander was confused, why would a Jedi stop him? Couldn't they just mind their own business?
The clone spoke up again "I trust there is no problem?"
Lindsay was confused. She thought today was her day to speak with the council. She quickly wondered why the council had called her and this mystery man to speak at the same time. Lindsay quickly asked politely this time "who are you? Do you know why the council wishes to speak to you?" Lindsay was hoping that this was going to be her partner.
The clone replied almost immediately "I cannot say, council's ears only. I am sorry, I must be on my way." He turned and stared walking again, he hoped he wouldn't end up late.
He stopped when he realized he had no idea where he was going.
Lindsay looked at the time and realized that she had 5 minutes to make it to the meeting with the council. She saw that the man had stopped. She asked "are you okay? Do you need something?" She was hoping that she would not be late for the council meeting.
Now the commander was confused "wait... Are you supposed to be meeting the council too?"
"Yes, they have asked me to come. Do you know where you are going?"
3859 finally swallowed his pride "no... I really have no idea where the council chambers are..."
"We are only one floor down" Lindsay said. "It's the double doors on the right"
The trooper nodded "thanks, lets get goin'." Without another word, the two ran to the large double doors. 3859 put his hands against the door control panel, but hesitated.
Lindsay was hoping it was something good they were going to talk about...the last thing she wants is to be in trouble withheld council. The Jedi saw that the trooper was hesitating and gave him a nod to show that she was right behind him
He pushed the button and the large door slid open. To say he was nervous was an understatement; he was about to walk into a room filled with some of the most powerful people in the galaxy.
