Discoveries of the Heart: Chapter Six

The walk to find some rooms for their guests seemed to be longer for some reason. Anakin himself knew Coursant pretty well, but he knew better. It probably was because of Sheena. Even though he knew a bit about his future children, he still didn't know them entirely. This silence is eating into my patience, but I'm willing to stay silent. I don't want to say anything out of hand for some reason. Partly because I don't want Obi-Wan to give me a lecture and have Padme give me one. This walk is turning out to be longer then normal. Anakin sighed. He hoped to escort Padme to her quarters so that maybe they could be with each other. But that would have to wait until they arrived.

A quick rest would help cool some things down, but not everything. A little time to think things through and come up with some observations seemed to be Obi-Wan's preferred choice right now. In the back of his mind, he himself wanted to do something of the sort. But I can't do it until after I show Luke, Leia, and Han their quarters. This leads me to question why I agreed to wait for Sheena after she comes out of Palpatine's office. Obi-Wan had a feeling that by how things were going right now, none of her companions would be good choices. Leia clearly was upset by the whole thing, Luke didn't seem to be angry; he seemed more accepting of it, and Han, who stayed silent mostly and merely observed everyone else. He wasn't quite sure that Anakin would be willing to go; his apprentice would probably go escort the Senator to her quarters. Maybe I should do that and let Anakin go instead. Knowing that my apprentice and Amidala will marry in the future still unnerves me, but I can't ignore the teachings of the Jedi Code. I must instead keep this in the back of my mind until I suppose it comes time to reveal it. He paused in his thoughts to reconsider something else why he chose himself to meet up with Sheena. He was curious. Obi-Wan wanted to know exactly why Sheena chose to keep this 'meeting' a secret among other things. She promised to tell us everything about that when she returns. Sheena will be in a shock when she finds me waiting for her outside his office.

Obi-Wan came to a stop before some rooms. Everyone behind him slowed down. He turned around to meet their gazes. "This is it. These three rooms will be yours for your stay here in Coursant. I hope I guessed right that you three probably want separate rooms." he spoke, pointing to each room.

"That's fine; maybe it's even better that way. Obi-Wan, you will be bringing Sheena here, right?" Luke responded.

"Yes." Obi-Wan answered.

"It's settled then. I'm going inside mine for a while. See you guys in a little bit." Han spoke up, pressing a button the keypad and stepping inside.

Leia gave them a look before entering her own room without a word. Luke glanced at his sister's departure and then proceeded to enter his own.

Obi-Wan did well in choosing three rooms for their guests. She had a feeling if two of them shared a room, the results may not be pleasant. In her mind, this is what is needed: time spent away from each other to think about everything. I find it to be rather helpful. After thinking about a topic with rational logic, you start to understand the things that you said or did that were good and bad. It clears up most of the emotions that you may have floating around, but sometimes it doesn't work. In that case, you need to talk with whoever is the source. Padme cast a glance at the three doors then back at Anakin and Obi-Wan.

"I am concerned as to where this may lead to Obi-Wan. This talk with Sheena leaves me with a feeling that it will not turn as we may think. As much as I would say that the talk will go fine, it's just…well…Leia is taking it rather hard isn't she?" Amidala said.

"I would agree Amidala. I think you may be right in letting everyone rest for now and think about it. It may prove to change their opinions. Or it might prove to be difficult to do anything in that kind of a mood. But either way, talking with Sheena is critical." Obi-Wan answered.

"I think we know that already Master. How about food? When was the last time they ate something? I get a feeling that they may be, even though no one has mentioned it to us. I have the perfect place in mind." Anakin stated.

"Anakin, you know of a place to get some food? Well actually, it does sound rather interesting. I still have time before I must retire to my chambers and study the speech I plan on making to the Senate tomorrow." Amidala questioned.

Obi-Wan threw a look over at his apprentice; who had that light in his eyes. He had a feeling where it was going. When he gets that look in his eyes, it usually ends up being one of his 'great' ideas. Another thing Anakin reminded me of. What a great Jedi I am. Today's events really have shaken up everything including my own thoughts. His apprentice did have a point; they might be hungry after coming here.

"I know I'm going to regret this saying this, but what did you have in mind Anakin?" Obi-Wan muttered.

Blue eyes lit up. "I know of place where we can all go and eat. Plus we can have a private area to talk about everything. The place is furnished really well and I recommend it. Padme, if you're coming you probably want to change into something that doesn't stand out." Anakin said excited.

Padme smiled faintly at Anakin; a slight chuckle escaping her lips. "Sounds interesting. I do have something that I can change into. If you will let me, I want Anakin to escort me to my quarters so I can do that and you will be waiting for Sheena." she said.

Fate had to be siding against him. First Anakin suggested the idea and now even Amidala agreed to it. Obi-Wan really wanted to shake some sense into his apprentice, but he knew better. Once Anakin gets an idea stuck in his head, there's no changing it. His stubbornness really kicks in at this point and nobody can tell him otherwise; including myself. The things that I let my apprentice get away with. I'm just glad the Council doesn't keep a tab on us all the time. Otherwise, we would be in trouble.

"…Very well. I know I'm going to regret it later. Don't try anything with the Senator alright Anakin? Then we will meet up back here." Obi-Wan said after a while.

Anakin and Padme watched as Obi-Wan turned on his heel and walked away.

"Ready to go Padme?" Anakin asked.

Brown eyes watched Obi-Wan's figure disappear from her vision and she replied, "Yes."

---oo00oo---

As she walked along, her anger lessened with each step. Which was good. Her meeting with Palpatine loomed closer. Sheena knew she had to calm down somewhat so he wouldn't be able to figure her out quickly. She still had to prepare. I must choose my words carefully and not risk saying something that Palpatine may figure out right away. Like I said before, I need to go in there and play his own game back at him. I have to maintain my coolness, which I am known for. And keep everything safe from him. Sheena wondered what Palpatine planned for her to look at. Knowing him from years of research, she suspected it might be a future weapon against the Old Republic or the Jedi or both. In which case she had to be careful in working on it. Even if he does pull that one on me, I plan to change it so no one will get hurt or use it on him. Be careful Palpatine, you may meet your match today.

Soon the familiar area that housed the Councilor's office came into view. Sheena stopped in front of the door, taking one last breath to calm her nerves and proceeded to knock on the door.

Palpatine viewed the many transports that came in and out of Coursant space. He randomly counted the ships; thinking of the many things he would do when his plans fell through and the Old Republic was no more. Of course, certain events would have to take place. Anakin Skywalker will fall to the Dark Side; lead astray by my seemingly observant statements. Only time will tell of my success. Which reminds me, Blake should be arriving soon to my office. I have sensed this. Ah, what fun we should have. He turned away from the window when someone knocked on the door. His lips formed a slight smile. Just like I thought.

"You may come in."

Sheena wasted no time in entering his office. She briefly bowed at him in respect. Like I need to be, but I do want to maintain a certain level of decency… Then walked over to the chair, stopping, and waited for the next command.

"It is a pleasure to talk to you in person Chancellor. I hope that it will be worth my while." Sheena spoke.

Black eyes regarded the person in question. They searched for some kind of weakness, but didn't find any. In turn, the stern eyes turned a bit soft. "You are quite modest; a trait I don't see often in people Blake. Please take a seat. We have much to discuss." Palpatine stated.

Grey eyes took in the sight of the datapad on the desk as well as Palpatine himself as he sat down. They didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but Palpatine cleverly hid any trace of emotion. Someone who knew how to play politics as well as keep secrets. Calling me modest? I should say he's being modest as well. I think he's trying to throw me off guard. There's plenty of time to deal with that. Sheena leaned back in the chair; resting one elbow on the armrest and the other at her side. A relaxed smile washed over her features.

"So Chancellor, what did you have in mind for me to work on? I am very curious as to what you choose for me." Sheena coolly mentioned.

So calm, so cool, and so collected about this; it makes me sick. Blake is good at concealing her feelings and she has that air of coolness surrounding her. It might be harder for me to figure her out, but there are ways to go around that…Palpatine gazed at her for a moment before opening the datapad on his desk and typed some commands on it. He looked at her when finished.

"The project that I wish for you to work on has already been brought up. You may look at it for as long as you like." Palpatine said, turning the display around and sliding it to the edge of the desk.

Sheena's hand danced upon the edge of the armrest before she scooted closer to the desk. "Alright, let's see what you have here." she mused, studying the screen for a moment before placing her hands on the keyboard and typing away.

Palpatine chose the opportunity to walk around the desk and stop behind the chair that Sheena sat in. His hands rested on the back of the chair, his black eyes searching. Searching for something to go on. He did not like that fact that his guest remained a total mystery to him. In time, I will learn your secrets and use them against them if proven to be as I thought. For now, I will observe you… Palpatine leaned slightly forward so he could peer over her shoulder. A sudden thought entered his mind; one that he remembered from his earlier encounter with her.

"You know Miss Blake, your cause that you strive for is noble. Not everyone shares your passion for that kind of a goal. I imagine someone with this goal in mind would…show more a compassionate, positive reaction rather then a neutral stance. If I must say so, you may appear to be calm and cool, but I do sense an air of coldness surrounding you. Is that something you have wanted to be known to everyone?" Palpatine finished.

---oo00oo---

Her words and reactions ran through her mind. For what it seemed to be the millionth time. Leia clearly remembered the scene as it happened; perhaps due to her Force abilities. She saw the flash of guilt followed by the moment of being stunned. Somewhere, deep in her heart, she felt a twinge of sympathy and understanding, but Leia could never get rid of grudges that easily. I have to know if all of the resentment towards that particular person is gone and that I can FULLY trust the person. If those requirements are not satisfied, well…

Leia dug in her pocket to bring out the datacard that contained info on their parents. Her fingers absentmindedly twirled it around in a circle; not certain on what to do. Should she continue her resentment towards Sheena? Or admit that she may have overreacted to the scientist's secret? How about I just forget about this incident for now and worry about it later. I have the key to know something about my parents in our timeline. Another part of me says to tuck it away and not even look at it. She got up and started pacing around the room. Her thoughts touched upon previous events, using them as a guide to answer her obvious conflict.

A sigh floated from her lips and Leia stopped pacing. She wondered if she was thinking too hard about it. After all, this silence in her room gave her the kind of serenity that calmed her mind. The anger and shock that carried in her heart after learning about Sheena, appeared to be gone.

"For the moment it appears to be gone. Maybe this break did do me some good. But this doesn't mean I won't forgive Sheena for doing what she did. It may take a while before I will accept her sincerest apology; one that comes from the heart. Who would have thought the trip to the past would turn out like this. It turned out to be more that I imagined it to be." Leia spoke, her gaze on the door.

-oo00oo-

His thoughts were different. They were more willing and open to any answer that would answer his unanswered questions. The main one being: his reaction really wasn't of anger, but maybe more disappointment or something like that? In his heart he couldn't really find the reason to outright be mad at Sheena. Sure, maybe she didn't tell them of her being a Jedi, but he had a trusting heart and never was one to hold a grudge very long. I've been told I'm too trusting sometimes; perhaps that's why I try to save everybody I come across. I suppose I never saw the need to keep grudges unlike Leia, who holds them for a long time. It takes her time to forgive somebody and I find the goodness in people's heart. What a combination Leia and I have. Even like right now, I'm seeing what I would call goodness in Sheena's heart. I got that from her conversations and just in general. Luke knew Sheena wouldn't do that on purpose and would wait until she spoke to everyone.

Luke remembered something and pulled the datacard from his pocket. He admired it thoroughly; turning it over in his hands. He did have to be thankful for Sheena; she was the one who spent many hours researching everything on their parents. For he wanted to know more about his mother, since he didn't have a memory of her and only Leia did. It seemed like a trade-off. He knew his father more and Leia had limited contact with their real mom, but at least she remembered something. I am very curious to take a peek at this data. Now for some reason I feel that it isn't the right time right now to do that. I get this feeling I will be able to view it later.

Which reminded him of something. "For some reason I believe we will be surprised with something. But what it will be is the question." Luke said, his blue gaze transfixed on the datacard.

-oo00oo-

He suspected more things were going to happen, but they didn't. In some ways brought relief to Han. They didn't need any more conflicts, although considering what just transpired, anything could happen next. I was surprised when Sheena took the harsh comments from Leia with such calmness that not even I could do. Although, I did see her momentarily flash that sense of guilt and looked stunned. With all the time that I have spent with Luke and Leia, I'm surprised that Leia didn't lash out any louder. Maybe that only occurs when her and I fight…

Han wondered what the two were thinking at the moment. This break from everything did seem to be a good idea after all. It gave him a chance to sort his thoughts on the matter. What he really wanted to know was why Sheena decided to talk with Palpatine; despite knowing who he is and what he did in their timeline. It just boggled his mind that Sheena would do it unless she had an idea in mind. She must have a plan or other wise she wouldn't be doing that. Sheena is smart and stays ahead of the game. Something must have happened between that Palpatine guy and Sheena before she met up with us. Maybe that's one of things she plans to explain to us at dinner. Which I hope that Leia will come.

"It's not because I want her to, it's just that it would helpful if everyone was there. Seeing that Leia and Sheena need to sort their troubles out with each other before we can continue with our mission. Which hasn't been clearly defined only to save their parents. Exactly how does Sheena plan on doing that? I remember her saying that if you change too many events in the past, the future changes drastically. Can that really happen? Come to think of it, how would I know? Only Sheena truly knows that answer…" Han spoke out loud. Does she though?

---oo00oo---

Obi-Wan walked around Coursant, on his way to Palpatine's office. By now he would assume that Sheena had entered and started their talk. What exactly they would talk about, he didn't know. He remembered Sheena telling him that his apprentice fell to the dark side in their timeline. He also remembered thinking about she said no more about it and he assumed that was something she didn't want to discuss until it came to let everything come out. Still he couldn't help but wonder exactly what happened in their timeline. Something must have happened in order for them come to the past. For what I'm not entirely sure yet. All I know is that Sheena told the Council that Palpatine is the Sith master we've been looking for. Since the Council wants proof, I wasn't entirely surprised that Sheena left like that. Although, it saddens me to think that bad events must have occurred or something. If my apprentice fell, then what happened to him? I still don't believe fully believe that Palpatine is the culprit behind the attacks against the Jedi and the OldRepublic, but really, this isn't the time to dwell on this. I need to be thinking about how Sheena will react to that dinner and me being here. Already I feel a headache coming on.

His blue-grey eyes focused forward; his steps normal and steady. His robes fluttered behind him. Obi-Wan prayed that the questions surrounding Sheena's talk with Palpatine, why she did it, and the conflict between her and Leia would be addressed.

"I can only hope that Leia will come to an understanding about the whole thing and let Sheena tell the entire story. Still I think this may be a long night." he muttered.

Suddenly he stopped, his eyes looking at the door that belonged to Palpatine. He took the moment to lean against the nearest wall and sigh. Obi-Wan knew he was in for something when Sheena came out. And I pray that everything goes well in there…

---oo00oo---

Her typing stopped. Her body slightly stiffened. Sheena took in a breath before releasing it. For one thing she didn't like Palpatine leaning that close to her face, two she didn't mind him standing near her, but it still give her chills. What a clever trick you're using Palpatine. I knew that you wouldn't forget my comment about that. Hehe. Only I didn't expect to say that so close to my ear. It gave me chills inside even though I didn't outwardly show it. He'll pick on my reaction since I stopped typing and released a breath. Well, he hasn't gotten me yet.

Sheena resumed typing. "Maybe you're right, I should have shown more compassion toward it. I have a lot on my mind at the moment." she responded.

I did neglect to answer his comment about being cold. Is he trying to hint at that I project that around people? Maybe he's better then I give him credit for. Still, I won't lower my guard; not even for a second. He'd snatch upon that and take it to full advantage.

"Oh yeah, do I really project an aura of coldness around others? If that's how you perceive it then that is not what I intended." Sheena added. Even if it could turn out to be the truth, I won't accept that idea until I actually observe it. Aaron is right; I am not cold and I care about other people. My heart is full of compassion and kindness.

She had reacted to him. Most definitely. Take the typing stopped and he thought her shoulders flinched ever so slightly. Something he took pride of. She is not consumed by ice; seeing how her reactions tell me otherwise. Offended me? Actually it gave way to a new perspective that I hadn't even considered before. Palpatine moved away from her ear, but remained close.

"So tell me Miss Blake, what do you think of my 'Rising Flame' Project? There are a few bugs that need to be taken out of it, but other then that the design is flawless." Palpatine expressed, wanting to know her response. As a scientist she should have no problem in fixing the bugs.

Sheena stared at the diagram being shown on the datapad. It mesmerized and worried her. For Palpatine actually to use this thing in battle would be deadly. What a better way then use this against your enemy? It's brilliant on his part. It looks innocent, but I know it's not. I would have to spend more time studying this and find these so-called bugs. Did he really cook this up or did he have someone else do it? Ooh, there's a question just waiting to be asked. Even though I can't see him; I can tell by his voice. Her fingers momentarily stopped typing.

"I believe I can work with this and fix your problems with it Chancellor. If I may inquire, did you dream up this project or did you have someone else do it and have it sent back to you? I won't be offended if you decline to answer my question, I understand." Sheena responded after a few minutes.

Black eyes seemingly narrowed at the question asked. Their depths wanting to glare down the question and totally rebuke the idea that he would have this done by somebody else. But another idea made it's way through the first idea and suddenly it appealed to Palpatine. Hmm, can Blake see through my front? No, she can't. I've dig in so deep that no one can expose me, not even those Jedi. It just occurred to me that it may be entertaining to enlighten her that I conjured it all up. Palpatine smiled ever so slightly; his eyes having that glint in them.

"Actually, it was I that came up with the idea. I thought it would be useful for the Old Republic to use it for peace purposes." Palpatine replied, his voice hiding all of the glee that he currently labored inside him.

"Really? It never struck me that you possessed that talent, but then again we all have our hidden talents." Sheena said. Interesting. Very interesting. Never knew Palpatine dabbed into that kind of stuff. I will keep an eye on this and tuck it away for future reference. She pressed a key to look at the 'weapon' from all angles. It gave her a better idea of what to look for. Hmm, it definitely looks more advanced then the current ones used by the OldRepublic. Appears to be lighter too. Wonder what will be used for the battery? Touching another button, Sheena enlarged the potion of the weapon containing the battery and nearly uttered something out loud.

He plans on using this gem that will give the appearance of a white beam?! That kind of gem is rare and powerful… I can't recall the name of the planet that has them, but with some research I should be able to find that out. Sheena continued to study the project.

Another one of his thoughts rose to mind. This time he remembered it; finding out that Blake herself was a Jedi and a scientist. Something he hadn't thought on too much. My task being to find out her secrets only to learn an important one: she belonged to the Jedi, whose order I will destroy. I have proof that she is one; after all I did sense her in the Force. One thing bothered me though, I saw no lightsaber attached to her belt. I believed that Jedi always carried their most treasured possession around with them at all times. Hidden talents? You have no idea Blake. Palpatine himself had a hard time believing that Blake didn't possess a lightsaber, he knew that she had one. Which suggested to him that she kept it hidden from view and that in a way pleased him.

"I find it very interesting that you, Miss Blake, chose to become a scientist even though you're a Jedi. You must be very busy if you do that and still do your daily Jedi duties. Just out of curiosity, may I see your saber? I like to see how different Jedi have built their most trusted weapon." Palpatine broke into the silence.

It struck to the very core of her heart. Her usual cool demeanor struggled to maintain their coolness even though she possessed the longest stretch of patience anyone had ever known. It was something Sheena hadn't thought about and really took in account. True, she really didn't want Palpatine to know she was a Jedi, but nothing can change that fact. Is this what it feels like to be caught off guard? It's not a good feeling in my books. I did have a quick thought that he might bring this up or did I just think about it now? In truth, I don't want to let him know that I have a saber. It would portray me as unarmed, but at least it would give me an advantage later on. Aaron would tell me that I am thinking too much about a situation and go with my gut instinct. My gut instinct tells me to lie. I hope this will not turn out to be a bad thing later on…

Sheena stood up, her hands removing themselves from the keyboard and turning to face Palpatine square in the eye. "I am not surprised that you asked me that question Chancellor, but I believe you are mistaken. I, for one, no longer own a lightsaber. I lost my beloved lightsaber three years in an event that, unfortunately, is rather personal to me and I do not talk about with other people. Since that time I felt that I needed to some time re-evaluating myself until the day came to build another one. Until that time comes, I've been sticking with my duties being a scientist." she answered back in a voice that hid all of the worry she had.

A Jedi who lost their lightsaber due to an accident and deemed themselves not capable of another until the right time? I thought I had detected a more subtle reaction to this question then my previous one. She may have hid it, but I can tell she was affected by it. Her story is reasonable, but I am getting this feeling that I am being lied to. Which is something I do not tolerate easily… Palpatine regarded her with cool black eyes before he responded back.

"I am very sad to hear that Miss Blake. It must have been horrible. I imagine that you were very traumatized for a while, no?" Palpatine said, showing what one would assume to be pity in his eyes.

But Sheena knew better. Or at least she did. She kept her eyes on him before nodding. "I was…for a while." Sheena turned around to touch a button on the datapad and the datacard popped out. Her hand grasped it and tucked away in her pocket. "I hope you don't mind if I take this with me Chancellor? I need to study it some more and fix those bugs. I'll get this back to you when I'm done. Now if you don't mind my sudden bout of rudeness, I must take my leave. I have to get back to my duties. Good day Chancellor." Sheena added, turning on her heel and heading for the door.

She changed tactics on him AND changed the subject quickly. Palpatine saw something in that and he grabbed her arm. He spun Sheena around to met his cold, black eyes. "Don't change subjects on me so quickly Miss Blake. As much as I would like to believe your story, there is something that I don't like about it and I think I know why. You are lying to me aren't you? With much experience as I have, I can tell these things. I am getting the feeling that you don't want me to see your saber? Is there something wrong with me seeing it?" Palpatine said.

Sheena opened her mouth, but then closed it. Her mind was reeling. He saw through it? Man, I must be losing it or something. What done is done. This is something I still don't want him to know, but what choice do I have now? He caught me in the web of lies I was hoping he would accept even though he does believe my story about being a scientist. After this is over, I need a break. A chance to think about everything and see if I need to re-evaluate my own strategy… Her eyes flashed obvious hurt then returned to normal.

"Well, I see that you caught me Chancellor. I do apologize for doing what I did. That was one of my, um, tactics I use to throw people off. I use it--"

"Use it to surprise people Blake? What an usual tactic. Still I suppose that it would be useful in some cases. Now if you would…?" Palpatine cut in.

The grip on her wrist tightened. "Fine. Just release my wrist please." Sheena said, giving in to his demand. I don't like it, but I have no choice. I can't use the lie anymore because I already admitted that I lied, so would be the point in using it?

His grip loosened and Palpatine stepped back. He was pleased. Pleased to know that she gave in to him, even though Palpatine knew she possessed great stubbornness and her cool demeanor. She possesses a strong will. A will that will not be easily broken. This really was nothing to her and I'd imagine she'll recover from it. Still it pleases me to know that Miss Blake does react to something other then her coolness, which annoys me to no end. No one can keep up that forever or perhaps she has perfected it? Maybe there is something I can use later on, when I find out her secrets. "I'm waiting Blake." Palpatine stated.

"Give me a moment." Sheena murmured. She turned away from him and her saber appeared on her belt. Taking it in her left hand, she turned back to look at him.

Black eyes widened ever so slightly, a smile appearing on his face. Palpatine noted how elegant the handle of the saber appeared to be, even though he only saw part of it. A part of him excited to see what color would be emitted. Sometimes the color of the blade determined who the person was. Each color has its own purpose. Typically, blue is for padawans and green is for Masters. Now you can have other colors. It would be interesting to learn what rank Blake holds. I'd imagine her to be a Master or perhaps a Knight. He waited for a few more seconds, then he saw it.

Sheena met his black gaze with her own. She concentrated at the task on hand. Holding the saber in her left hand, Sheena held it straight out from her. The tip of the saber pointing up. Her right hand grasped the bottom half of the handle and a finger momentarily hovered near a certain area. Right now, the saber is in deadly mode. Once I press this button, it will become unable to cut through flesh. Too bad Palpatine doesn't know about that. He wouldn't know what hit him if I kept changing the modes. The secret button pressed. Now one finger from her left hand pressed the ignition button and her saber roared to life.

A white beam of light filled the room with it's presence; seemingly making it more relaxed.

---oo00oo---

Obi-Wan suddenly moved away from the wall and walked closer to the door. A sound had caught his attention. The more he strained to hear it, the sound became distinctly clear. His Jedi senses reached out. Soft at first, it slowly sounded like humming. The humming reminded Obi-Wan of a particular weapon, one that only emitted that sound. A most familiar sight around the Jedi Temple and aboard. A…lightsaber?? There's only two people in that room and only one person possesses a saber at this point. And it would be Sheena. Why would Sheena ignite her saber and…?! Is she planning to kill Palpatine right now?! She shouldn't do that! I've got to stop her!

His hand fiddled with keypad until it opened and he raced in the room.

I am enjoying this new revision of this story. I hope you are too. R & R please.
