Chapter Six: The Plan

Ash was in the control room, later that night, while everyone else was resting. She was thinking of different ways to convince this Senator to join the rebellion. All of the sudden she felt a small presence.

Then a voice said, "Hey. You okay?"

That made her jump, she turned around and saw Kanan. She nodded.

"Hera noticed that you didn't eat anything. So she sent me to give you some food." he said as he gave her the food.

"Thanks," she replied.

Ash turned back around to face the window to look back out at the stars.

"Back home, our stars are different from these. It's kinda nice to see a small change."

"What's your planet like?" Kanan asked.

"Green land, and blue water. It is like this whole galaxy but mashed into one planet." Ash said.

"What's your plan for this senator of yours?"

"First, I'm going to communicate him over the communicator, and see where it goes," Ash started. "If he doesn't join, than I'm going to go visit him and try to convince him in person."

"Okay. But if he doesn't join the first time, how will you know what system he'll be in?" Kanan asked.

"I'll ask him. The one place that I hope he doesn't say is Coruscant," Ash said as she looked at Kanan's pained face. "I know that planet scares you, and it scares me too. Or if he does join over the communicator than we will meet in person on a planet that is equal distance from each other."

"When will find out what crew you will have?"

"Tomorrow. But I need to know one thing, if Ahsoka does choose your crew, are you willing to go to Coruscant again?" She said as she faced Kanan.

Kanan sighed deeply. "No. It still pretty painful."

"I will respect that."

Kanan turned to leave. As he reached the door, Ash said, "I met your master once. She said to me, 'Be patient, you never know what new experiences will bring you.'. I thought I should tell you that."

He turned he head and said, "Thank you."


The next morning Ash headed back to the control room, where she met Ahsoka. She discussed the few plans she came up with to her, and agreed with the first two.

"Where should I be, when I make the call?" Ash asked.

"You should be here, in the control room," Ahsoka replied. "We need him, at any cost."

"There will have to be a time limit though. The person he thinks I am is very busy. So I'm say five minutes, and someone should cue me when it's up."

"Okay. Will do. Let's meet back here in an hour."

"Be worn though, this Meadow character, that I will put on, is pretty serious. I want you to know that."

"Copy that. I'll tell the others."

"Thanks," Ash said as she left to get ready.


Ash was in her quarters. She was looking at the white dress she first saw Iggy in, and remembered to memories. Finally she went over and picked up the dress and put it on. Then someone knocked on the door queuing her to go to the control room. She quickly moved her hands over her blond hair, and her magic turned her hair from a simple ponytail to half up ponytail, to half down straight hair.

She put her brown boots on, as she said to herself, "Let's put on a show."

Then she headed to the control room, with her whole character changed. She entered the control room, and everyone who was in there settled down and became quiet.

She walked up to the communicator, and said in a serious tone, "When I contact this Senator, I need this room to be quiet so he does not find out that I'm not alone. Stay clear of this communicator, please. Who will alert me when the my five minutes are almost up?"

A man walked up and said, "I wil."

"Thank you. Okay, here we go."

Ash pushed a button and a man with tan skin, with robes popped up. His hair was shaved to the point where only the middle not shaven and his hair was pulled back into a long ponytail. He had black skinny shaped diamond tattoos were covering his eyes down to his mouth.

Then he said, "Senator Meadow! What a surpris', I haven't seen you sinc' that slavery debat' on Coruscant."

"Yes, yes. That debate. How's your master?" She asked.

"He was killed by an assassin." He said sadly but then changed his mood. "Which means I'm fre' slav' and sinc' he died my homeworld has elected me to b' their new senator."

"That is certainly good and bad news," she said. "Getting to the point, I need your help."

"Knowing you," he started. "you don't need help unless, you need information or you'r' in desperate need. Which on' is it?"

"This time, it's about fifty-fifty." She replied.

"Okay ask away."

"First of all are you alone?"

"Yes, I am." He said, looking around.

"Okay. Do you agree with the Empire rising?"

"No. That is the worst mistak' in history."

"Would you want to join the Rebels, if you could?"

"Yes."

"How can I trust you?" she asked.

"I think I know a way," he said then he turned his voice to hush tone. "Can you met me her' tomorrow on Coruscant?"

The man walked up and said, "Ma'am."

She looked up and nodded, then turned back to the Senator and said, "I'm sorry, I am too far away to meet you tomorrow but can we met on a planet that is somewhere in between? I am on Lothal, and I have an important meeting with the governor and I am supposed to meet him in three minutes."

"Yes. I'll send you th' coordnat's."

"Thank you." Than she pushed to button again and he disappeared, and she let out a breath, and everyone cheered.

"Hold your applause please, it's not over yet."

Ahsoka came up and said, "That is still impressive."

Ash looked up and nodded and said, "I hope this plan works. Which crew did you choose to help me, if I need it?"

"Well I asked around, and the only one who stepped up is Hera. She said that her crew delt with a senator before he betrayed them."

Ash looked over to where Kanan and Hera were talking then said, "Are you sure Kanan is up for it?"

"I belief so."

"Alright," She said as she went back to her quarters to change.
