After what seemed to be only moments I regained conciseness although my features never changed and I did not open my eyes. It was a trick Canderous taught me; to gain knowledge that a potential enemy didn't know you had could be vital to a fight. But were these people my enemy; that I did not yet know. So I would observe or at least listen in, I mentally smiled, even when my friends weren't around they helped me.
"Could he be the assassin?"
"That's unlikely, he's a jedi, and maybe he got... I don' know knocked into the building or out of a speeder or something by thugs he was chasing."
"Kinda comforting to know they're mortal too huh?"
"Yeah, but it's disconcerting too. What sort of person can take out a jedi, even for a short time?"
I nearly snorted, people should really stop undermining themselves, I knew I would never have gotten as far as I had if it weren't for 'ordinary' people like Mission, Carth, Canderous, and Zaalbar.
"So what do we do with him?"
"Senator Amidala has put in a call to the order, a healer should be along in a while to pick him up along with the Jedi who will be augmenting our security."
Amidala? That was a name that was unfamiliar to me; I had tried to keep up to date on current events in the core, and something Carth had disapproved of. He often said I had enough to worry about with our private war with the sith.
Was I even in the core at all? That would explain my lack of recollection to that name. But then they had mentioned the order and wasn't the enclave on Coursucant? I decided to make my presence known and that I was ready to have whoever it was stop talking about me as if I wasn't there.
"I might like to have a say in this if you wouldn't mind?"
They looked like startled tech for a moment and then regained their composure.
"Excuse us Master Jedi, we did not know you had woken up."
They were clad in uniforms that I didn't recognize, so it was possible that I had gone to another world after all. But how did I get here, I know that I most likely arrived in the crystal, but other than that I had no idea.
I glanced around my surroundings; it was a luxury apartment by the looks of it. Several buildings bathed in the amber of a quickly setting sun greeted my eyes as I looked out one of the many widows.
"Where am I?"
"Oh, excuse my rudeness Master Jedi, you are in the apartment's of the Senator's of Naboo."
Naboo was a member of the republic, as far as I knew it was not a building covered planet. And the only planet that they sent Ambassador's to was...
"Coursucant?"
The Guards looked worried, had they never seen a jedi confused before?
"Hey, maybe you should keep lying down, you might have taken a harder blow to your head than we thought."
"No, no. I'll be fine just need to shake it off."
They looked reassured now, their image of jedi as invincible beings restored. I nearly decided to have a bit of fun with them, something Bastilla would never have approved of...
I was happy for Bastilla and I knew that when I joined the force I would be with her, until then I would live my life as a jedi, it was what she wanted, I could nearly feel it and hear her words in my ears.
"I see you've woken up"
No wait, that wasn't Bastilla, I looked up and in the door way was the young woman whose dinner I had fallen on. Noting that both the guards had snapped to attention and that another guard had entered behind her one with a sort of eye patch. I looked her over for a moment memorizing her face incase it came in handy later.
A sheepish look crossed my own face as I sat up and found that I was laying on a couch, readjusting myself to sit on it, I leaned back and looked at her for a moment, trying to come up with an apology.
"Ah, sorry about the food."
"It's alright, we were worried that you were seriously hurt, but there hadn't been much more than food stains on you, a doctor was actually nearby having his own dinner and pronounced you had a full bill of health."
"Oh, ah thank you."
"It was no trouble Master Jedi."
"You can call me-"
Just then I was interrupted by a voice that was unlikely to be human, unless he was high on stims that had gone bad a long time ago.
"Obi! Obi! Obi! Mesa sooo smilen to seein yousa. Wahooooo!"
There was a quiet reply that I couldn't quite hear and then,
"...and this, I take it, is your apprentice... Noooooooo! Annie? Noooooooo! Little bitty Annie? Noooooooo! Yousa so biggen! Yiyiyiyyi! Annie!!"
Another quiet reply, this one was a different person.
"Shesa expecting yousa. Annie... Mesa no believen!"
The Gungan from the restaurant walked into the room, followed closely by two jedi and a padawan. The padawan, I noticed immediately, he was quite strong in the force, but I could also sense emotions running through him. Emotions that he should have learned to deal with by now. He was also just about openly staring at the senator; from there it was easy to guess the focus of his emotions.
"Mesa here. Lookie... lookie... Senator. Desa Jedi arriven."
Said the Gungan, with what I could only assume passed for a grin on his face. I stood up albeit shakily at first, and managed a short bow in greeting. They returned it in short order. Senator Amidala crossed to them taking the hand of one who stepped forward and they began talking.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, M'Lady."
"It has been far too long Master Kenobi. I'm so glad our paths have crossed again... but I must warn you that I think your presence here is unnecessary."
"I'm sure the Jedi Council has their reasons."
She walked to stand in front of the padawan, I was fairly sure he was being taught by 'Master Kenobi' The padawan I thought was in need of meditation and a few lectures. I nearly laughed; I was starting to think like Master Vrook.
"Annie?... My goodness, you've grown."
I supposed that they had met quite a while ago, but the way that they were staring they were smitten with each over. But it was the next comment that nearly made me blanch.
"So have you... grown more beautiful, I mean... and much shorter... for a Senator, I mean."
For that comment alone he should be taken off of this assignment and sent to a master that was a professional at helping young men sort through their feelings. Kenobi shot his apprentice a disapproving look, the senator in question laughed and shook her head.

Okay chapter 2 How will the story change with the addition of Revan? Will it be for better or for worse? And SOMEONE SEND IN A NAME! To: Ghost_Elder@yahoo.com And your name for Revan could be used in the story.
