„I sensed nothing likewise," Mace Windu said after a long pause.

"Nobody has." Yoda watched the two men, who stand in the middle of the council chamber.

"She never heard of the force or the Jedi. The healer said, that could be the cause," Qui-Gon informed.

"Not even heard of that?", Ki-Adi Mundi asked. "How can this be?"

"It seems, that there are no Jedis in her galaxy. They have a totally different religion", Qui-Gon answered. "Danielle said, that they call the Midi-Chlorians Nanits. She think they are little computers. Where it come from, she don't know. But she is not born with it, supposedly. Her opinion of, someone named Apophis injected it to get information from her. And that is also the function of the black slab at her temple."

"She *told* you that!", Mace gave to think over.

"I think we can trust her," Obi-Wan said unbidden.

Mace shot him a sharp gaze. "We could see that!"

Obi-Wan looked help seeking to his master.

"What will happen to her now?", Qui-Gon turned to Yoda.

"Ready to leave the healers care, she is?", Yoda asked thoughtfully.

"Healer Dirad said, one more day."

"Before us you will bring her then! Speak to her, we want!"

"DON'T! GO AWAY WITH THOSE THING!", panic filled words echoed in Obi-Wan's ears, as he walked through the halls of the healer ward.

In the same instant, a figure in hospital nighty rushed out of an room and stopped at the versus wall.

"Oh, come on! That's only syringe!" Obi-Wan remembered Bants voice immediately. The healer Padawan came out of the same room, the figure before her had come from.

"Only a syringe? The needle is as long as my whole arm!", Danielle grouched.

"Hello Bant. Afflicting patients again?", Obi-Wan said to Bant with a grin.

"Hello Obi-Wan. What is that supposed to mean? That's to her one good."

"To my one good? Haha!", Danielle laughed sarcastically. "That's no needle, that's a spear!"

"Don't say you afraid of an syringe?!", mocked Obi-Wan.

"Ha, look in the mirror! Don't believe him a word, Danielle! He plays the same scene like you now, since twenty years."

"Thanks, Bant."

Danielle laughed out laud. "What, our strong hero is afraid of an syringe?", she asked mocking.

"But at least I learned something from it!"

"And what?", Danielle asked curious.

Obi-Wan grinned. "That the hospital nighty has a slit in it's back !"

Horror was written on Danielle's face and she looked over her shoulder.

"Ahhh," she screamed and tried, to pull the two ends together, unavailing.

Bant and Obi-Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh at me." Danielle's face blushed.

"If you will excuse me now," she said to Obi-Wan. "I've got a meeting with a spear." Then there was only a dust cloud, as she disappeared in the room again.
