Obi-wan walked down the corridor to his quarters. He was so intent on his destination he didn't see the other passengers all but dodge him. As he rounded the corner he ran into one of the handmaidens. With a startled oath they both wound up on the floor. Obi-wan was on his feet in an instant, and reached a hand down doe the girl on the floor. "I'm sorry m'lady." She did not take the offered hand and instead glared up at the young Jedi. "Why on earth were you barreling through the corridors like that?" He looked away embarrassed. "I was trying to get beck to my quarters. I apologize. I was rather intent on getting there." She took the hand that he still had out. "Why pray tell were you so intent on getting to your quarters?" He pulled her to her feet as he answered. "I was rather disturbed by a conversation I just had with Master Jinn. I wanted to get to my quarters and meditate on what was said." He slowly released his hand. "Well what was the conversation about?" He steadily avoided her gaze. "I would really rather not say." She pressed on determined. "Come on. You just bowled me over in the corridor. You at least owe me something of an explanation." He turned to her and said. "Lets just say we have a difference of opinions concerning previous actions." He bowed to her quickly. "If you will excuse me, I believe I will continue on to my quarters." She called to his back as he walked away. "Try not to bowl over any more innocent bystanders!" He tossed back over his shoulder. "I shall try not to my lady. I doubt they would be as kind as you were." And before she could comment on that he was in his quarters.
With a sigh Obi-wan sank down to his knees. He was lucky he had not caused more problems while storming through the corridors. If he was at the temple Yoda would have wacked him in the shins. It was not appropriate behavior to storm about like an angry child. And if that wasn't reason enough, when Obi-wan lost his temper he also lost his restraint. And when that happened all sorts of unpleasant things were the result. He did not wish to have his anger to damage to this mission. He allowed himself to sink into the calming influence of the force. But before he could do mush more than relax a moment, he was grabbed by the force and flung into a vision. He saw them landing on Naboo. But oddly enough the child, Anakin was with them. And he watched as he and his Master confronted the Sith. He watched his Master die. And then he watched himself kill the Sith. The he saw another vision of He an Qui-gon fighting the Sith. He again watched his Master die. In the final vision he watched as he confronted the Sith alone. And watched himself me mortally wounded. And he watched himself defeat the Sith none the less. The vison faded with him lying on the ground. Still alive but fading fast. And he saw the aftermath of all three courses of action. The first two were guaranteed to send the universe into darkness. The third, there was at least a possibility of darkness being averted. He was suddenly jolted out of the vision by a hand on his shoulder. He started and looked up. His vision was filled with the darkness of the visions. But it slowly cleared and he found himself looking into two very worried sets of eyes.
