"So you believe it was a Sith that attacked the handmaiden?"
Master Tornyk nodded.
"He knew how to use the Force and we didn't sense anything before he lit the light in the room", she answered, keeping her eyes on Master Mace Windu. Master Yoda, who sat right beside him nodded slowly.
"Need to investigate this, you do", he said. "In danger, Senator Amidala is, if a Sith lord on Naboo is."
His eyes twinkled as he turned towards her apprentice.
"Young Padawan Farah Iraham, a glimpse of the assassin, you got?" he asked. Her Master cursed herself for not asking that before.
"Well, Master, he was quite tall, had dark hair and a green cloak", Farah answered. "I wish I had seen more, but it was dark and I only wanted to catch him so that I could… well, I wanted to catch him, and I knew I could have."
"Catch him to kill him, you wanted?" Yoda asked.
"No, Master", Farah answered. "What I meant was the faster I got him the faster I could return and bring him to the guards. Then they and the court of Naboo and probably the Jedi Council would be able to decide what should be his fate."
Yoda nodded and closed his eyes.
"Sandra, I want you and your Padawan to team up with Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker", Mace said solemnly. "You need to find this Sith and bring him here."
"Of course, Master", Sandra Tornyk answered and walked out through the door with her Padawan.
As they reached their quarters, Sandra turned towards her Padawan.
"I believe that you've met young Anakin Skywalker before", she said. Farah blushed.
"Yes, Master", she answered.
"And maybe there was more than just friendship between you", Sandra continued. The red colour on Farah's face turned even deeper.
"Well, yes… at a time", she said.
"I hope that you won't let those feelings run away with you", Sandra said and opened the door. "Anakin is a very attractive young man, but you're both Padawans and will soon become Jedis. And I believe you know the rules."
"Yes", Farah answered and threw her coat onto her bed. Sandra looked at her from the opposite side of the room.
"You must understand, Farah", she said and lay down on her own bed. "Most Jedis have one or two periods in life when they do fall in love. Those periods that shapes us into what we are."
"Master, don't tell me you've been in love too!" Farah said and laughed at the mere thought. But when she saw how solemn her Master looked, she stopped.
"I have", Sandra answered. "It didn't hurt me or him before we realised that we couldn't be together. It wasn't right. The breaking with him was probably the most painful day of my life."
She smiled and pointed at her scar.
"Even more painful then when I got this", she said, before she turned solemn again. "What I want to tell you is that I don't want you to experience that kind of pain. That is why you can't let your feelings emerge during this mission."
Farah nodded, before she lay down on her bed to get some rest.
