On Coruscant, Anakin and Obi-Wan stand in the hangar waiting as the Starkiller dives in from the traffic, descending down to the level of the Jedi. It rotates as it lands where the front of the ship faces out the hangar bay opening. Owen comes out with a olive-skinned brunette following behind him.

Anakin's eyes widen, as well as a slight flustering of his cheeks. Obi-Wan bows slightly while Anakin still stares as if caught in a trance. Obi-Wan nudges him which he responds, "Alright."

She chuckles, "It's alright, I'm not royalty."

Anakin replies quickly with a smile, "Well you should be."

She smiles, "A flirtatious Jedi? What's next, an attractive smuggler?"

Owen glares over at her crossing his arms. Obi-Wan coughs, "I was told you needed to speak to the Council."

As if jogging her memory she replies, "Oh right, there's battle plans I acquired I'd much rather discuss with the Council and not in public."

She looks around as if spies could be anywhere at the present moment causing Anakin and Obi-Wan to react similarly. Obi-Wan nods, "Well Anakin, you watch the Smuggler and I'll be sure to take her to Master Qui-Gon."

He smiles, "You got it, Master."

Anakin leans against the ramp support of the ship casually, not making it a secret as he checks out their Alderaanian guest. She looks back and her cheeks flush as she sees where his eyes lied. He laughs a bit when he Owen nudges him, "Hey Skyguy, you in there? I've never seen you this distracted since that blue Twi'lek girl danced on you."

"Speaking of that, how's Beru?"

He coughs, "Oh, so you remembered her."

"Yeah, before we left you always had eyes on her. You even threatened my life a few times about it."

"Yeah, well what about you? Find anyone?"

Anakin sighs leaning against the crates. Owen asks, "What?"

"Jedi aren't allowed to see anyone that way."

Owen looks over, "I'm sorry?"

"We're not allowed to um…engage with anyone in that sort of way."

"You mean you took an oath of abstinence?" Owen asks trying to understand.

"It's something about if we get attached, we'll end up embracing the wrong emotions and it could make us more susceptible to the Dark Side."

Owen looks over with a thin frown, "You don't sound like you're bought into it."

"I don't know, Owen." He looks towards the direction Obi-Wan and their guest walked towards.

Qui-Gon is sitting back in his seat on the Council sat next to Ki-Adi-Mundi who's sat next to Yoda, with Mace Windu at his right side. Seven other Jedi Masters sit in a circle while Obi-Wan and the Alderaanian are standing in the middle of the circle.

Yoda smiles, "Greetings, we say to you."

She smiles and bows slightly, "It's a pleasure Master Yoda. I've heard so much about you."

"Precedes me, my reputation does."

She nods, "I am Padme Organa, daughter of Admiral Tiberius Organa and niece to Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan. When my Uncle couldn't get in contact with me, I resorted to being smuggled out to escape Alderaan. I managed to get some plans I didn't want to risk showing to my Uncle in case Alderaanian Spies are embedded in the embassy."

Yoda nods, "Yes, loyal to the Republic your uncle is. And very wise you were in showing to us the plans. Do you know the details, Padme?"

She nods, "Yes…they're taking Mandolore's best soldiers along with Alderaan's and Corellia's and they're breeding Clone Soldiers. Breeding human beings with accelerated growth and minimum will power except of fighting and remaining loyal to the Empire of Alderaan."

She takes out a disc like device and places it on the ground as it projects a holographic display of soldiers in Alderaanian Armor sparring one another, shooting and displaying perfect shots for each individual. Then they show the soldiers close up, all of them having identical features of blonde hair and blue eyes. They salute the fair-haired Emperor who salutes them back heiling Alderaan.

Yoda leans on his cane, "Horrifying, this is. Do something, we must."

Mace Windu looks over, "We're already at war with Alderaan, and if this is true then our Armies may not likely stand a chance. I think it's time the Jedi take a more active role in the war."

The large headed alien, Ki-Adi-Mundi replies, "Jedi are keepers of the peace, not soldiers Master Windu."

Yoda looks over at Qui-Gon who remains silent, "Master Qui-Gon, anything to say have you?"

He sighs, "Though I can see the points of both Master, I'd have to agree with Master Windu. Our armies will not stand a chance against them. It would be a nightmare if they attacked Coruscant."

Ki-Adi-Mundi calmly states, "We need to focus on the Sith though. You said it yourself, Master Windu, the Sith are dangerous foes and this war means nothing if they win."

Mace Windu explains, "Correct as you are, Master, we need to focus on the immediate matters. The Sith will not reveal themselves so easily and we could potentially waste our resources and our trust the Republic invests in us."

"So it's playing politics, is it Master Windu?"

The dark skinned Master leans forward glaring at the alien and he waves his hand, "You will not speak to any Jedi in that manner!"

Yoda raises his own voice, "Enough! Bickering, solve nothing it will. My decision is final. Help in the war, we will. For now, this witness needs protection. Stay here, she will but then with young Skywalker she will go with."

Obi-Wan coughs, "Master Yoda, I'm not sure if Anakin should be thrusted into a mission like that, at least not now."

Yoda states, "A knight he is, your consent is not needed. You are to go with Qui-Gon and invade Alderaan you two will."

Obi-Wan nods bowing, "My apologies, Master."

Yoda smiles, "Natural it is, to feel over-protective. Succeed, Skywalker will. In you, I trust Kenobi."

Qui-Gon smiles with Obi-Wan still looking uneasy. The Jedi Master stands joining his former apprentice, "Together again, my former padawan."

That comment seems to break Obi-Wan's anxiety as a small smile forms on his face.
