Okay, after some consideration, I've decided to start Book II. Hold on to your hats, folks. Here comes the
next tale of The Jedi Knights of Earth.

Jedi Knights of Earth
Book II
The Search for Ahsoka Tano
Chapter One
Strange Meetings
(Republic Star Destroyer Resolute II, Abregado system)
Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Master Plo Koon stood on the bridge of the Resolute II, a fine successor to the
Venator-class star cruiser, and were on a science mission. Ever since stopping Sidious' plans to conquer the galaxy,
Skywalker had grown into a wise and caring man. His second Padawan, a Nautolan named Zatt, had reached
Knighthood, and was elsewhere at the moment. The Kel Dorian faced the human. "You are thinking of Ahsoka."
Anakin smiled. "Yes. I wonder how she and Master Ti are doing." Plo Koon smiled under his mask. "As do I. It is nice to
know we have some common ground. Your son passed the trials, I hear." Anakin nodded. "Master Yoda was very
pleased with his progress. Leia isn't that far behind." The Kel Dorian kept up that smile. "Generals, we're detecting a
vessel entering the system, through what appears to be a stable wormhole." That got their attention. They faced the
cruiser that came out of the wormhole, which closed just as quickly as it had appeared. It was certainly an odd ship.
Anakin had never seen one of its design. "Contact them, and ask them what their purpose here is."
(Terran Olympus-class EV Poseidon)
Jack sat in his command chair. The cruiser ahead of them remained in its position, and, if it weren't for his Force
abilities, he would assume they hadn't seen them. "Sir, we're receiving a hail." Jack faced the Lieutenant. "Put them on-
screen." The officer nodded. "Yes, sir." The images of a human male, and an alien appeared on the screen. "Unidentified
vessel, this is a restricted system. Name your purpose." Jack answered right away. "First of all, we apologize for the
intrusion. We didn't know this system was restricted. Second, we're here looking for someone." He had their attention
now. Gakowa walked onto the bridge just then.
(Resolute II)
As soon as Anakin saw the boy Togruta, he immediately was reminded of Ahsoka. A relative of hers, no doubt. He faced
the human in command. "What is your name?" The human captain faced him. "Jack Hudson, Jedi Knight of Earth. This
is my apprentice, Gakowa Tano." Anakin barely kept his thoughts protected. 'They are related.' He faced Hudson. "Who
are you searching for? Perhaps we can help." Jack looked at Gakowa. "You want to tell them?" The boy looked at him.
"You're in charge." Jack shrugged. "We're looking for my former master, Ahsoka Tano." That got Anakin's attention.
Jack didn't notice Anakin's face. Gakowa, however, did. "You know her." Anakin faced the boy. "Are you a relative of
hers?" Gakowa nodded. "She's my mother." That got both Anakin and Plo's attention. "Interesting." The Kel Dorian
stepped forward. "Perhaps a face-to-face meeting will help us all."
(Poseidon)
"Give us a second." Jack said, then mimed zipping his lips to the officer. The officer muted the comms. He faced his
apprentice. "What do you think?" Gakowa looked at Jack. "If they knew her, then I want to hear their stories. Besides, I
get the feeling they've been looking for her themselves." Jack nodded. He motioned to the comms officer. When the
audio was restored, Jack said, "Gakowa and I agree to your proposition. Would you like to come aboard the Poseidon,
or would you like us to come aboard your ship? Also, what are your names?"
(Resolute)
Anakin faced Master Koon. "I am Jedi Master Plo Koon. This is Anakin Skywalker. And, we will come aboard your
cruiser. Also, what is your planet of origin?"
(Poseidon)
Jack faced Gakowa. "I think he means, where did we come from." Jack nodded. "My people come from the planet Earth,
in a galaxy far from here. In hyperspace, it would take months to get there. We developed technology that allows us to
enter this galaxy in a few days." The two Jedi on the other cruiser nodded. "We will see you shortly."
