Enter Luke and Han, in Revan Tower.
Enter Natasi Daala, a holographic recording of the High Inquisitor.
Daala. By order of the High Inquisitor of Tython: All student organizations, societies, teams, groups and clubs are henceforth disbanded. An organization, society, team, group or club is hereby defined as a regular meeting of three or more students. Permission to reform may be sought from the High Inquisitor (Admiral Daala). No student organization, society, team, group or club may exist without the knowledge and approval of the High Inquisitor. Any student found to have formed, or to belong to, an organization, society, team, group or club that has not been approved by the High Inquisitor will be expelled. The above is in accordance with Contingency Order Sixty-Six. Daala out.
Exit Daala.
Enter Anni Capstan.
Anni. [to her friend] Does this mean they're going to shut down the Sabaac Tournament?
Han. I think you'll be okay with sabaac. [to Luke] I don't think we're going to be as lucky, though, do you?
Luke. This isn't a coincidence. She knows.
Han. She can't.
Luke. There were people listening in that bar. And let's face it, we don't know how many of the beings who turned up we can trust. . . . Any of them could have run off and told Daala. . . .
Han. Waxarn Kel. And I thought that Kyp Durron had a really shifty look, too. . . .
Luke. I wonder if Leia has seen this yet?
Han. Let's go and tell her.
Luke and Han try to enter the girls' dormitories, but they slide back into the common room.
Luke. Er . . . I don't think we're allowed in the girls' dormitories.
Enter Tinian I'att and Octa Ramis, laughing.
Octa. O! Who tried to get upstairs?
Han. Me.
Octa and Tinian laugh.
[to Luke] I didn't realize that would happen. It's not fair. Leia is allowed in our dormitory. How come we're not allowed . . . ?
Enter Leia.
Leia. Well, it's an old-fashioned rule. But it says in The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force that Meetra Surik thought males were less trustworthy than females. Anyway, why were you trying to get in there?
Han. To see you. [indicates Order 66] Look at this.
Leia listens to Daala's notice.
[angry] Someone must have blabbed to her.
Leia. They can't have done.
Han. You're so naïve. You think just because you're all honorable and trustworthy . . .
Leia. No, they can't have done, because I put a curse on that piece of durasheet we all signed. Believe me, if anyone's run off and told Daala, we'll know exactly who they are, and they will really regret it.
Han. [eager] What will happen to them?
Leia. Well, put it this way. It will make Inyri Forge's acne look like a couple of cute freckles. Come on, let's get down to breakfast and see what the others think. . . . I wonder whether this has been put up in all of the Houses?
Luke, Han, and Leia enter the Great Hall.
Enter Wedge, Lando, Phanan, Face, and Mara.
Wedge. Did you see it?
Mara. Do you think she knows?
Lando. What are we going to do?
Luke. We're going to do it anyway, of course.
Face. I knew you would say that.
Phanan. The prefects as well?
Leia. [cool] Of course.
Enter Corran, Iella, Hamner, Kyp, Voort, and Kel.
Han. Here come Corran and Iella Wessiri. And those Shan rodders and Kel . . . and no one looks very spotty.
Leia. Never mind spots. The idiots can't come over here now. It will look really suspicious. [to Corran and Iella] Sit down. We'll talk to you later.
Mara. I'll tell Kyp. The fool, honestly. . . .
Exit Mara, Corran, Iella, Hamner, Kyp, Voort, and Kel.
Enter Dia.
Dia. Luke. Han.
Luke. It's okay. We're still going to . . .
Dia. You realize she's including smashball in this? We have to go and ask permission to reform the Revan team.
Luke. What?
Han. No way.
Dia. You heard her. She mentioned teams, too. So listen, Luke . . . I am saying this for the last time. . . . Please, please don't lose your temper with Daala again or she might not let us play any more.
Luke. Okay, okay. Don't worry. I'll behave myself.
Exit Dia.
Han. I bet Daala is in Galactic History. She hasn't inspected Baas yet. . . . I bet you anything she's there. . . .
Luke, Han, and Leia enter Vodo-Siosk Baas's classroom.
Enter the ghost of Vodo-Siosk Baas.
Enter R2-D2, with an injured leg.
Leia jabs Luke in the ribs.
Luke. [looks up angrily] What?
Leia indicates R2-D2.
Bria. [to Winter] Oh, I've always loved that little droid. He's so gorgeous.
Luke lets R2-D2 into the classroom and notices his injury.
Luke. He's hurt. Look . . . there's something wrong with his leg. . . .
As Luke touches R2-D2's leg, he flinches and looks at Luke reproachfully.
Luke. Master Baas. I'm not feeling well.
Baas looks up, surprised.
Baas. Not feeling well?
Luke. [rising] Not at all well. I think I need to go to the medcenter.
Baas. Yes, yes . . . yes, medcenter . . . Well, off you go, then, Starkiller. . . .
Exit all but Luke and R2-D2.
Luke carries R2-D2 over to the High Council Chambers, guarded by two automatons - Odan-Urr and Arca Jeth.
Odan-Urr. You should be in class, young one.
Luke. [curt] This is urgent.
Jeth. O! Urgent, is it? Well, that's put us in our place, hasn't it?
Luke knocks on the doors.
Enter Mon Mothma.
Mothma. You haven't been given another detention?
Luke. No, Senator.
Mothma. Well then, why are you out of class?
Jeth. [snide] It's urgent, apparently.
Luke. I'm looking for Master Ti. It's my droid. He's damaged.
Enter Shaak Ti.
Ti. Damaged droid, did you say?
Luke. Yes. He turned up after the other astrodroids, and his leg's all funny, look . . .
Ti takes R2-D2 from Luke.
Ti. Hmm. It looks like something's attacked him. I can't think what would have done it, though. Voxyn will sometimes go for astrodroids, of course. But Chewbacca has got the Jedi voxyn well-trained not to touch astrodroids.
Mothma. Do you know how far this astrodroid has traveled, Skywalker?
Luke. Er . . . from Stewjon, I think.
Luke and Mon Mothma exchange a meaningful look.
Ti. [examines R2-D2] I should be able to sort this out if you leave him with me, Skywalker. He shouldn't be flying long distances for a few days, in any case.
Luke. Er . . . right . . . thanks.
The chime rings.
Ti. No problem.
Ti turns to leave.
Mothma. Just a moment, Shaak. Skywalker's message.
Luke. Oh, yes.
Ti hands Luke his message . . . from Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Exit Ti.
Mothma. Skywalker.
Luke. Yes, Senator.
Mothma. Bear in mind, that channels of communication in and out of Tython may be being watched, won't you?
Luke. I . . .
Luke is cut off by the traffic of the corridors.
Mon Mothma gives Luke a curt nod and exits.
Luke opens the hololetter.
Enter Obi-Wan, holographic image of the disguised Jedi Knight.
Obi-Wan. Today, same time, same place.
Exit Obi-Wan.
Enter Han and Leia.
Leia. Is Artoo okay?
Han. Where did you take her?
Leia. To Shaak Ti. And I met Mothma, and she warned me that our communications might be being watched. . . . [notices Han and Leia's unsurprised expressions] What?
Leia. Well, I was just saying to Han, what if someone had tried to intercept Artoo? I mean, he's never been hurt on a flight before, has he?
Han. Who's the hololetter from, anyway?
Luke. Ben.
Han. "Same time, same place?" Does he mean the fire in the common room?
Leia. Obviously. I just hope nobody else has read this. . . .
Luke. But it was still sealed and everything. And nobody would understand what it meant if they didn't know where we'd spoken to him before, would they?
Leia. I don't know. It wouldn't be exactly difficult to reseal the scroll by the Force. . . . And if anyone's watching the Hyperdrive Design Division . . . but I don't really see how we can warn him not to come without that being intercepted, too.
Exit all.
