A padawan sat in the Ancient Grove on Dantooine, looking out at the setting sun. How she loved these rare moments of peace. She knew all too soon the Jedi or the Republic would call her back to fight in the front lines as they had for the past five years. Ever since Revan and Malak returned, she thought sadly to herself. She had been younger than the two knights by at least ten years but they had still been friendly towards her.
"Padawan Bastila!"
The Padawan looked up to see a female Padawan running towards her. Bastila stood up and bowed to the Padawan. "Padawan Juhani," she said.
"The Council wishes to speak with you immediately," Juhani said after returning Bastila's bow.
"Do you know of what they wish to speak with me about?" Bastila asked.
"I am sorry Bastila but I do not. I was only told to find you," Juhani said.
"Very well. Thank you," Bastila replied before she started walking toward the council chambers. I wonder what they wish to speak with me about, she thought. Usually they allow me at least a week off from the fighting but I've only been here for two days. Bastila quickly silenced those thoughts as she reached the doors that would lead her back into the Jedi enclave. Who am I to question the authority of the council? If they wish for me to return to the front lines then I will.
An hour later Bastila walked outside the council chambers. This will not work. I cannot do this. Bastila shook her head. No, I will do as the council requests. With that thought, she went to her quarters to begin packing for her latest assignment from the council.
Revan's day had started out routine enough - torturing the Republic soldiers and Jedi that Bandon and Xaset had bought her from the scout ship they had captured the day before and reintroducing Malak to force lightning after he, once again, managed to disobey her orders by killing two of the four soldiers before she could interrogate them. The remaining soldiers were low ranking and had no valuable information so she let Nihilus deal with them.
If Malak ever became too ambitious, Nihilus was his ideal replacement. He was smart, depending on his wits more than his brawn in a battle. Revan was already having problems with her willful apprentice and suspected he might be stupid enough to try and oust her from power soon. This was the last thing Revan needed if she wanted her plan to work.
The Jedi, however, proved useful.
"Where's Jaq?" Revan asked. Lieutenant Jaq Rand was undoubtedly the best assassin under her command. He had an uncanny ability to block even the most powerful Jedi or Sith from his mind by simply playing pazaak. This ability had proved useful many times during an interrogation before and would probably prove useful here.
"My Lord, he is in the mess hall," replied a tall, middle-aged soldier. "Would you like me to send for him?"
Revan rolled her eyes at this. Saul Karath was worse than Malak sometimes. He never followed her orders but was always sucking up to try and get a promotion. He had only received his position as Rear Admiral because he had given her the codes to bypass several of the Republic's military defenses. Oddly enough, the only person he actually listened to was Malak.
Saul must have sensed Revan was getting impatient because he hurried out of the room, heading in the direction of the mess hall.
It wasn't fifteen minutes later when Saul returned with a bored looking Jaq trailing behind him.
"Lord Revan, I have brought you Lieutenant Rand," Saul said, sounding quite pleased with himself.
"Yes, thank you," Revan responded dryly. "You may leave now."
Saul left quickly, not wanting to further anger Revan.
"You sent for me, Lord Revan?" Jaq inquired.
"Yes, Lieutenant. We have captured two Jedi and I thought this would be a good opportunity to test your abilities. The male is a Jedi Knight so I would like for you to interrogate him first. You may interrogate the female Padawan later."
