The chromium plate Nubian cruiser dropped out of hyperspace only to see another fleet surrounding her planet. Though unlike how it had escaped these ships were not attacking. Though there could be seen in the distance if the scanners were focused in that direction the hulks of the destroyed cargo ships that had been used to bring the droid to her system. The ship reentered the atmosphere while the pilots talk with space control. Minutes later the ship leveled off and flew for a distance and spun around as it lowered to reach the hanger bay doors.

The ramp came down to a full hanger of loyal subjects. The few handmaidens that had been left behind stood closest to the ramp as the queen's entourage came down the ramp. Her guards came first followed by her handmaiden and Sabe in the position of the Queen. Sio Bibble bowed deeply facing a bit more to the real queen, but not enough that the others would notice.

"It is such a relieving feeling to have you back your majesty."

"I am glad to be home, governor."

"We have a meal prepared for you and if that is not to your liking we can bring it to your suite."

"As much as I would like to retire, I can not rest until I make sure my people are in no danger."

"The Eternal Alliance has been more than helpful in restoring order and caring for the injured. Only the most severely damage areas will take time to repair."

"Excellent, but I still will wish to tour those areas later on." Sio Bibble noticed the three others and the Gungan.

"Very well. Shall these other be joining you?"

"Governor this is Master Jedi Qui Gon Jinn, and his padawan Obi Wan Kenobi. Jar Jar Binks and Anakin Skywalker helped her majesty. They shall be staying until transport can be arranged to Coruscant."

"I see well I am sure the Gungan will like transport back to his people."

"Mesa no goin' back. Mesa banished."

"Jar Jar will be staying here. He is to be treated as liaison between our people, but he will have much to learn." The man looked over the Gungan again as Jar Jar smiled. He then waved an aide up to him and quickly whispered in his ear.

"This way Mr. Binks."

"Mesa?"

"Yes, sir."

"So if the Jedi will follow the aide over there then I am sure you would like a quiet meal." Jinn stepped forward.

"Governor in due time that would be fine, but until I have reported fully to the council I will remain by her majesty's side."

"Very good, and the boy?"

"He will remain with me. Though he will need some other clothes these are more for a desert environment. Something for a cooler environment then we are in now."

"Ah yes. Young man this aide can take you to the couturier and have you in warm clothing."

"Nothing too fancy. He is a prospective initiate for the Jedi Order."

"Then tell them something to complement Jedi robes." Anakin looked unsure as he stepped to the young man.

"Don't worry when you are finished they will bring you back to me." Master Jinn stated.

"He will be in good hands, master Jedi. So I bet you have never had ice?"

"Ice? What is that?"

"You'll just have to wait and see." They quickly walked away. To a few chuckles and a few more smiles.

"My queen may I finally introduce our savior?"

"By all means." Darra stepped closer and bowed to the present queen, but something felt off about her. Shae was next to her with her helm under her arm.

"This is Jedi Master Darra Suro, Battlemaster of the Order and Commander of the Eternal Alliance. Next to her is her ground forces commander, Mand'alor the Avenger, Shae Vizla."

"I thought Mandalore is under the rule of Duchess Satine?"

"It is your highness. There is other things in play that should not be openly discussed." Darra looked to the two Jedi and she frowned as she had to mentally slap both of them away from her mind. She had given a courtesy mental hello, but these two did not stop there. Thankfully Darth Rivix was not present at this time of Exarch Trill.

"I will be very interested in hearing the full report. I can only hope that we can work together peaceably."

"I have heard nothing but positive reports. Though a few incidents have gotten heated. Made sure to crack their heads in training the next day."

"Now with your return we can talk about further cooperation and possibility of a security arraignment that will keep this system and your sector more secure. I will let you decide when this is I am sure you would like to rest."

"Master Jedi thank you, but as I said before I must see to my people." Darra and Shae stepped back to their previous position and the queen's procession continued on.

"What do you think Shae?"

"Young too all of them."

"No I mean the queen?"

"One of the other girls was the queen."

"I noticed it too." Darra waited a bit as the queen walked through the entrance of the hanger before walking to an side door that would lead to the quarters she was using. It was then she felt the other Jedi come closer to her.

"I see you have company, commander."

"Ret'urcye mhi." Darra replied as she faced master Jinn with a glare.

"I am at a loss as I know nearly all of the masters of the Jedi Order, but I don't think I have every heard your name spoken before today." She looked him over and he felt alive in the living Force, but not as strong as he could be. He had this fogginess that had been bothering her around him.

"I would be surprised If you had. Care to walk with me or don't you need to be with the queen?"

"My padawan is more that capable of protecting her in her own home."

"Padawan? Surely he should have taken the trials by now. I was knighted when I was eighteen. He is what twenty one, two?"

"Nearly twenty five. There is not much more that I can teach him. Just that with the missions we have been on I have not had the time to discuss it with the council."

"Ah, that is not something that should have waited. Should it now?" Qui Gon chuckled a bit.

"True, but we tend to get the harder missions to complete, and he is a bit reckless now and again. Which could be problematic if he was on a solo mission."

"I see so the council is hesitant as you are a successful team." Darra felt him feeling the Force as they slowly walked to her quarters.

"Yes now that you mention it, but you must allow me a few questions as well."

"Perhaps, but as the senior Jedi I will refrain from answering until we are in a more private setting."

"You are hardly much older than my padawan in age, but your Force presence is powerful and a likeness to a master."

"I am younger than my age by several thousand years." She laughed as the truth hit him in the Force. Qui Gon was taken completely by surprise. If he ever thought the Force could lie it would be at this moment.
