The helmsman faced Gakowa. "We're detecting 2,000 life readings, sir." He faced his commsman. "Contact them." After
entering in the code, the commsman faced him. "No response, sir." Katooni spoke up. "The ship is running on auxiliary
power. Their communications might be offline." Gakowa thought that over. "Prepare a boarding party. Lock weapons on
stun." The commsman spoke up. "Sir, we have a transmission from the Leto." Gakowa sighed. "On screen." Ahsoka's
face came on the viewer. Gakowa faced her. "Okay, this time, it's not my fault." She smirked. "Actually, I was calling to
inform you that Luke Skywalker is here and he wants to talk to you." Aisha faced her. /I'm pregnant./ Ahsoka faced her,
then faced Gakowa, and smirked at him. "So you did make me a grandmother." Gakowa sighed. "Mom, please. I'm going
over to that ship, see what's going on. Tell Luke I'll talk to him when I get back." She nodded. Gakowa faced Katooni.
"You have the bridge." She nodded. He walked to the lift, and went to the hangar bay. There, he faced the squad that
had been assembled. "All right, your T-90s have been locked to stun. Let's hope we don't have to fight, but I'd like to be
prepared." They nodded. The shuttle took off a few moments later, and they boarded the futuristic vessel. Gakowa
ignited his lightsaber because of how dark it was in there. "Turn on your searchlights. See if you can find Engineering."
As the men went to search the ship, Gakowa went to the turbolift. Pleased to find that it was still working, he entered it,
and said, "Bridge." When the lift doors opened, he walked into the bridge, and was very surprised to find the bridge crew
laying unconscious. Sitting in the captain's chair was a female Togruta, with a lightsaber clipped to her belt. Gakowa
faced the helm, and checked the systems. As Katooni had stated, the ship was running on auxiliary power, and all hands
were accounted for. The communications system was offline, as Katooni had hypothesized. Gakowa thumbed his
comlink. "Lieutenant, did you find Engineering?" "Yes, sir. We're working on restoring power to the major systems."
Gakowa sighed. "Forget weapons. Just get the engines, shields, and communications online. We'll worry about the rest
when they wake up." "Yes, sir." He faced the captain's chair, and checked the vitals of the Togruta. She had a good
pulse, and her heartbeat was strong. He also noticed a photo in her pocket. Despite his curiosity, he left it in there. She
groaned then. He faced her, waiting for her to wake up. Her eyes shot open, and she kicked him. He landed on his feet
two meters away. She activated her lightsaber. The emerald blade illuminated the room. Gakowa ignited his own
weapon, and held it in the Form I stance. She saw the sapphire blade, and shut off her saber. "Sorry, I didn't know you
were a Jedi." Gakowa nodded. "Understandable." He shut off his blade. She faced him. "Who are you?" He kept his gaze
on her. "Gakowa Tano, Jedi Knight of Earth and commanding officer of the Apollo II." She stiffened. "We went back in
time?!" Gakowa faced her. "I guessed you were from the future based on the ship alone." She sighed. "Stupid
wormhole." Gakowa chose not to comment. "What's your name?" She faced him. "Kyra Tano, your great great
granddaughter."
