Chapter 2: The Meeting
When Barriss and her droids got the engine repaired, she meets Forgo on the bridge as he overwatched a study team. "Um... what are you doing?" Barriss asked, "That warship that attacked us, where did it come from" he asked. "Confedrate System, they are a military mainly comprised of droids with commanders being living people" she says. Forgo sighs, "Contact the study crew, have them back on the ship" Forgo ordered. "Yes sir" the Communication Officer says. "Thank you for repairing our Drive, you can meet up to your homeworld. We'll use the coordinates" Forgo says as he turn to Barriss. She nods "Well see you soon" She says. She then left to the hanger. Forgo watched as she flies back to her ship. "Sir" Navigation Officer says, Forgo turns to him "Something wrong?" he asked. "Yes, Coordinates are a different language, nothing in our database" The Officer says. "Alright then, contact the commander and we'll follow her" Forgo says.
In the Venator-class Destroyer, Barriss lands inside the ship. Once she leaves the shuttle, Ahsoka ran to her. The girl is about 16 at the time, but shown the the size of a well developed woman. "Hey, what's up?" She says, "Besides meeting a Captain of the ship that can disable a Drednought, nothing much" Barriss responded. Ahsoka grew interest of the ship "What do you mean 'disable a Dreadnought', I thought it was a Frigate" she says. "I thought so too, but as I repair the slipdrive, I went through the systems. Tell me, have you heard of a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon?" Barriss asked. "Sounds like a tough weapon" Ahsoka says as she crossed her arms. "Well, it is, the cannon's shell is fast enough that no ship with shields can pierce it" Barriss says bore walking. "okay, and I sense something else is on your mind" Ahsoka says as she ran in front of Barriss. Barriss sighs in defeat "Their Captain, he's very sweet and strategic for his age" she says. "What do you mean?" Ahsoka asked in confusion, "Well, you know how all of out Admirals and Captains are near 40 to 50s right?" Barriss asked. "Yeah, kinda creepy" Ahsoka says, "Well, this Captain is only 26, being the youngest with a very high rank in his military" Barriss soon blushed slightly. Ahsoka sees it and her eyes grew "Your in love with him, are you?" Ahsoka asked. "What?! No, I just think he's cute, that's all" Barriss quickly responded. "It's okay, I won't tell. Plus, he owns a powerful ship, so we can't attack him" Ahsoka says patting Barriss's shoulder. A Clone trooper came to them, "Ma'am, the UNSC ship is requesting for them to follow us" he says. "Well, you got more time with him too" Ahsoka says as she walks off.
Once the Paris got it's team back, it followed the Three Venators to a dark red planet. "Sir, the planet might be the capital due to the city size of it" Field Officer says. "Wait until Commander Offee give us a go ahead to land planetside" Forgo ordered to the Control Officer. Soon Barriss spoke "You're clear to land, just be careful of civilians" she says. This confused Forgo until he sees that there are flying cars on the planet. "I can see what she mean by be careful" the Navigation Officer says. "Yeah, one hit and that person is dead. As for our systems" Forgo says. Soon the UNSC Frigate flew to a docking station. The Paris was soon cleared to land inside on of the vacant lots, once landed the tunnel plugs into one of the Paris-class Warship's airlocks. Soon Forgo and his squad of Marines arrived as a black jedi comes to them. "Greetings, I'm Mace Windu. From our reports, your ship was able to disable a Dreadnought with one shot and hold off against enemy fighters" Windu says. "That's us" Forgo says, "Can you follow me please" Windu asked. Forgo nods and turn to his Marines "Have a Pelican follow me to where ever he's taking me with a squad of Marines" He ordered. The Marines nodded and walked back into the Frigate. Soon Forgo enters the Gunship use to transport the Jedi and flies to the Temple, soon a D79I Pelican flies from the Frigate and follow the gunship.
Inside, Windu asked questions. "So, where are your crew from?" he asked, "Milky Way" Forgo responded. "Can you explain how the Frigate can disable a Dreadnought so easily?" Windu soon asked. "Tactic we used called the Keyes Loop" Forgo responded as a Pelican flies side by side with the gunship. A trooper turn to Windu, "Sir, I think he's setting a trap" he says. "No he's not, he's just cautious of us. I know that feeling" Windu says as both ships land inside the Temple's hanger. Soon Windu leads Forgo and his Marines to the Chamber. "Forgo, I recommend you keep your troopers out here" Windu says. Forgo nods and motion them off. Windu soon enters with Forgo and sits in his chair. Forgo looks around and see Barriss stand off in the corner, "So, Captain Forgo. Can you explain the events leading to your rescue?" the Orange headed one asked. "My ship went past our stop and arrived near a planet. We plan to set up a base of operation, but the Confederate's warship engaged us. We fired back damaging it, then contacting any ship that is nearby. Soon it's squadron was deployed and we was able to hold them off until Commander Offee arrived and saved us" Forgo says as he stand before the Council. "Not From this galaxy, you are" the Green one asked. "No sir, in fact, jumping here has disabled our Slipdrive" Forgo says. "Master Yoda, might I add that his help can be useful if he can damaged ships like this?" the Blue Girl says. Yoda nods "Help will you, Captain Forgo?" Yoda asked, "Yes, I just need to database of people and locations to fit us in" Forgo requested, Yoda nods "To the Republic, you are welcome".
