*Obi-Wan I just thought of something, what about we test their security, whenever I wasn't in our quarters or in class I was in the room given to me by the Council and more specifically Yoda and built the specials. I also brought them with me in case we did a security test*
*You made and brought the specials? I would think that you would wait on that*
*True but no one knows if someone will land on Tython accidentally and try and destroy us once they find out who's living there*
*You have a point and Tython isn't exactly hidden either is it?*
*No it's not, it's just uninhabited at the moment*
*Well hyperlanes were destroyed. I think Yoda chose this because of what we know about Ossus*
*Good point, the Force tells us that Ossus will be used as well but at a later time*
*For now we are to restore Tython*
*So about the security tests...*
*Okay Anakin we'll do the tests first, good thing that the specials aren't really designed to do damage*
*Nope they're more distraction then anything*
*By the way are we going to shield our connection to the Force and act like we're not Force sensitive as a means to test them?*
*We'd better because they would detect us way too fast if they detected our Force signatures*
*The pilot isn't Force sensitive so he won't know what's about to happen however he does know we're Jedi*
*Don't worry I have that taken care of*
*Anakin what did you do?*
*Slipped a sedative into his meal, he should be falling asleep any time now*
*And if he wonders how he managed to safely land on Tython?*
*He knows he's with Jedi he'll figure it out, by the time he's awake we should be done with the test*
*How much did you give him?*
*Remember the sedatives we were given during the Wars for when we needed the sleep but couldn't?*
*What about them?*
*Yoda secretly supplied our kits with them because they're available now to hospitals. I gave him enough to keep him down for seventeen hours*
*Okay that works, we're what four hours out?*
*Exactly, he was getting tired anyways which is why I slipped the sedative to him now*
Four hours later they landed on Tython and quickly got to work. Over all it took them five hours from when they landed to get to the Temple/Academy and set their special explosives using sign language whenever they were within line of sight
*You know it's kind of unfair because we have stealth training to the extreme*
*True the Wars really taught us the importance of silence, we can sneak into an enemy camp and not get noticed...depending on how sneaky we are*
*Oh and when did you do that without me?*
*Remember the mission I was given after Rattatak and cleared for missions again?*
*Oh yeah we had to split up that time due to extenuating circumstances*
*Exactly, we needed fresh intel and I was the only one who had the ability to be sneaky enough*
*Didn't you have another Jedi with you?*
*Nope it was just me and clones*
*What about scout clones?*
*None were available at the time*
*Okay you really were the only person sneaky enough for the job*
*So when will you detonate the charges?*
*We still have two more to set*
*Okay, meet back at the shuttle?*
*Exactly, after I detonate the explosives and bring everyone out we'll stun them and reveal ourselves once they wake up*
*And the pilot?*
*Don't worry we'll only knock our fellow Jedi out for a few minutes*
*Okay then*
The two set their last two charges and rendezvous at the shuttle per their agreement
"Okay get ready"
Anakin pushed the button to detonate the charges and the Jedi quickly came out ready for a fight but all of them were stunned into submission. After the two were sure everyone was unconscious they stopped hiding their Force signature and simply waited until the group woke up. The main teacher was the first person to wake up and she woke up the others quickly as well
"Knight Kenobi when did you get here?"
"My Padawan and I have been here only for a few minutes"
The reason they said that was part of the plan they would lie initially and then reveal the truth once the pilot was awake and the group assessed the "damages"
"Then the perpetrators couldn't be far off"
"Unless it was a timed explosive Master Kolina"
"What do you mean Padawan Skywalker?"
"I've seen them a few times during our missions. If you put a timer on the explosives you can leave an area and no one would suspect you"
"Except Tython is hidden from all but us Jedi"
"Who knows they could have had minor damage to their ship, they made their repairs and once they realized the place had people they decided to push any projects back by destroying them"
"You have a point Padawan"
"Master we won't be able to see the damage until day light, and what about your pilot Master Kenobi?"
"Asleep at the moment"
Finally dawn broke and the pilot woke up. He was told about what had happened and the pilot was a bit confused
"That's strange we were only four hours out when I went to sleep for some reason"
"There were minor problems that forced us to come out of hyperspace Captain, my Padawan fixed the issues but it took several hours"
"Well let's see the damages"
The group took a walk around and started noticing things
"That's strange, the intruders hit vital areas however they didn't actually do any damage. All I see are paint marks"
"There's a reason behind that Master Kolina"
"And what's that Knight Kenobi?"
"My Padawan and I actually lied to you earlier, we were the ones who did this. We decided to test your security because we never know if someone will accidentally stumble upon this location. You're lucky we're fellow Jedi"
"I never detected you"
"You wouldn't have, my Padawan and I hid our connection to the Force, there are reasons we know how to do this Knight Kolina and you're not allowed to know at the moment"
"What are the two of you doing here anyways?"
"We're to check up on your progress and help you for a month. Depending on how far along you are we are also to inform you that the Council now wants regular updates"
"Well you'd better come inside then because that's where most of the work has been"
The two go inside and are given a tour and both are impressed by the progress they had made
"Well time to make a report to the Council"
They quickly make a connection to Coruscant
"A report you have for us?"
"Yes Tython is actually ahead of schedule Masters. We can move in within a year"
"He's right Masters, all that's really left is a bit inside and then a lot more outside. Masters did you give Knight Kenobi and his Padawan permission to test our security?"
"No we didn't, we just told them to check up on your progress and then help the building process for a month. We thought it would be nice to give them an easy mission for once"
"Sorry Master Windu, my Padawan thought of the idea on the way to Tython because while it may be hidden we never know if it will be stumbled upon accidentally"
"How much damage did the two of you do?"
"None Master Plo Koon...or at least not as much as people really intent on hurting us would have. They hit a few critical areas with paint bombs and then some areas that while the structural damage wouldn't have been critical still would have taken time to repair. They did all of this while hiding their Force signature, how they know how to do that they won't explain"
"Explain they cannot, the Force not allow an explanation it will"
"Understood Master Yoda, we will of course accept their help for a month"
"Masters there's one more thing we need to tell you and it was discovered while we were placing our paint bombs, it appears that the Academy is larger than initially expected, it might have expanded past the building itself into some caves as a test. We need the original deed agreements if possible to find out how much land we really did and technically still do own here even if Coruscant has forgotten"
"That's true, we never signed over the property and every so often the Senate does ask us about Tython but only in the sense that they're wondering if we've returned. Which we now have but that's secret right now, as far as I know we never gave up the land back to the Senate. Senator Organa recently called about wanting helping the Jedi in some way, it appears that he just randomly made that decision though we don't know why. He said something about simply wanting to help the Republic's protectors. Maybe he can find that information out for us if he can be discreet"
"Master Windu I think you'll be surprised about Senator Organa, there's actually a more complicated reason as to why he's suddenly deciding to help us now but..."
"But we can't know until the Force says we can" (sighs) "I just want to know one thing, if it's related to what's going on between you, your Padawan, and Master Yoda are you sure he knows how to keep himself safe?"
"Yes he knows what he's doing"
"Very well then. We'll trust that the Force will reveal what it wants when it feels we're ready. For now you have your mission there"
"Understood Master Windu"
"We want monthly updates, so Knight Kenobi can give us an update before he leaves but after that until your group leaves it's your responsibility Knight Kolina"
"Understood Master Unduli"
The group starts getting to work. Meanwhile back on Alderaan Senator Bail Organa was doing a lot of work from his home planet due to a situation that required his personal presence. He discovered that Qui-Gon was still there and for that he was grateful, not realizing that the Force had told Qui-Gon that Bail Organa needed protection for a bit before he could return to taking care of fellow Jedi once more. Back when Qui-Gon had first come to Alderaan Senator Bail Organa had done genetic testing discreetly just in case this person was an impostor, though that turned out not to be the case. Bail also discovered that Qui-Gon truly didn't know sign language, as such he taught Qui-Gon the tapping code he himself had been forced to learn during the Clone Wars whenever possible for when the Clone Wars started up again. Though he regretted not being able to teach Qui-Gon the sign language he was pleased that Qui-Gon was a fast learner in the tapping code. Bail had just finished up a session and was in his rooms when he detected movement in the shadows, Bail was glad he was alone because of the fact that Qui-Gon was a secret to be kept until the Force said otherwise
"Not that I mind you staying close Qui-Gon but shouldn't you be helping your fellow Jedi?"
Qui-Gon came out of the shadows and started writing
*No the Force says I need to stay close to you for a reason yet revealed, I follow the will of the Force Senator Organa, by the way just how did you justify helping the Jedi discreetly and secretly without revealing the truth?*
"Just said that I felt it was time Alderaan contributed more help to their protectors, no one knows about the secret funding and honestly the only help I can really give publicly is letting the Senate know that we will give aid to the Jedi in terms of shelter if there's an injured Jedi that might not be able to take shelter else where's. I can't reveal funds for Tython but I can give them a bit more in the budget if possible, I know better than to tackle the Jedi being at the Senate's whims especially with...Palpatine in charge. This might hurt us in the long run once the Republic becomes an Empire but for now I will do what I can"
*I should go someone's coming and I can't reveal myself to anyone yet*
"I know, you only revealed yourself to the Council and me because the Force told you to do so"
*Just need to know what you're planning for the next few hours*
"Sleep if possible"
*Okay, get some rest, I'll make a report to the Council*
Qui-Gon makes his report and gets some rest. The next day he finally finds out just why he was sent to the past in the first place. He was there to make sure that Bail Organa actually made it to the time of the Clone Wars and beyond, the first time around he managed to get there mostly through luck, but this time the Force decided that Bail Organa would have a protector. A protector who would also help their fellow Jedi but at extreme times Qui-Gon would be a shadow protecting Senator Organa, as such though no one knew it yet Qui-Gon would not get normal missions once he revealed himself to his fellow Jedi publicly because yes Palpatine was trouble but the greater evil in the shadows of Palpatine was even worse and would immediately go after allies of the Jedi if given the chance
