Blue Waters: episode #45 A
Recording and The News
Previously:
Gwydion forced Samantha to go to the doctor since she should absolutely no sign
of improvement since she had gotten
sick. And when she went to the doctor, she found out she was pregnant. She's
decided against telling anyone but Gwydion, the doctor, Bail, Obi-Wan, and Yoda
fro now…not even Anakin.
"I am…well there's no other way to put his, so I'll be open about it…I'm pregnant…but I have a problem. Palpatine's after my husband, so I can't tell anyone…and Anakin's acting weird. I need to make contact with Yoda and Obi-wan…they'll know what to do. But I'm going to need help conveying the message. Can I use your droid…and are you willing to take it to Dagobah for me. It's urgent."
"I suppose I could do that."
"Thanks," she says as
she goes off to record the message on R2-d2.
She pushes the record
button (she doesn't delete the previous two messages),
"This message concerns Anakin Skywalker…he is
in great danger. I'm afraid there's
something going on with him…he's acting kind of weird. I'm worried. And there is something I need
to tell you, which is why I'm presenting myself in person to you tomorrow,
Obi-Wan. This is much too risky to put on here."
With that, she flicks off the
recording button. Bail Antilles gets out a day ahead of Samantha with R2-D2 and
C-3PO. As Bail shows them the recording Obi-Wan exchanged glances with
Yoda.
"Something not too
good happened to Anakin, I take it."
"Now you see why I was against
training him in the first place?"
"Well, I guess we'll have to wait
until Samantha gets her before we judge too much."
The next day,
Samantha goes to Dagobah.
"I know you'd rather
I not be here, but I need your advice on something."
(Bail Antilles is still there)
Yoda says,
"Anakin…what information do you have on him??"
"Well, he said he hadn't faced the Emperor
when I saw him…what was it 2 days after he left here. He acted very strange…different somehow…I don't know exactly
how. But he is alive, and I have
a feeling that he had met with Palpatine. I don't know what happened…he didn't tell me."
Obi-Wan looked at Samantha with a worried,
thoughtful look on his face.
"Well it can't be good. Do you think he may be in service to the
Emperor."
"I don't know…I hope not…but I'm worried that
he might be. I guess that's why I
came…and why I'm worried about the other thing I cane here to tell you."
Yoda just stood back
watching.
"What is it?" asks
Obi-Wan, standing n one leg, putting the other up against a tree and leaning back.
She doesn't look at anyone, but into the swam
at first and slowly moves her head up to see their reactions as she says, "I'm
pregnant."
Yoda and Obi-Wan look at each other in
surprise.
"I just found
out. I don't know what to do. I'm worried about Anakin. What if he is
working with the Emperor now? What
would he do if he found out? And
Palpatine? I'm scared."
Yoda says, "This does
present a problem. I hate to tell you
this, but I had a feeling that Anakin had met with Palpatine before from the
way he acted before he left. To what
extent, we don't know. My guess is that
he didn't help him out fully, but now he may be."
Obi-Wan says, "And if
Anakin joined Palpatine, your childe is definitely in danger…because it would
have the possibility of having a higher force than Anakin."
"How?"
"Well, it's possible that your child will
haven anywhere from a –1 to –14 normal force…actually and a royal force
from –1 to –15."
Yoda says, "What could happen is a –16
of both forces. Because, Anakin is a –14 of normal, and you are a –15 of Royal,
you could conceivably have a –16 child of both forces."
Obi-Wan says, "Yes, and that would be a huge
thereat to Palpatine…and he knows that. That's why he kept on trying to go
after him…there's no other explanation for the way your husband acted before he
left. Palpatine had tried to get Anakin
on his side before."
"What do we do
now?" Samantha asks.
"Tell no one more, in
great danger you and your child are already."
Obi-Wan asks, "Who all did you tell…Anakin doesn't
know, does he?"
"No…no…I was too afraid to try to find him
to tell him. The only people I told were you 3 and Gwydion."
"Good, keep it that
way until we find out about your husband," says Yoda.
"Where do I go? It'll become noticeable eventually."
Obi-Wan says, "You can stay here."
"But Anakin knows where you are. He expects me to be here."
Bail speaks up, "You can stay on Alderaan for
awhile until you find out what's involved with your husband."
Until next time!
