The Jedi council had been raging for hours over yet another debate which included this unusual dream that Master Yoda had recently had. Most of the council members found it enough of a shock to see that Yoda actually slept besides had dreams. Yoda simply Harrumphed in his customary way and stated that of course he dreamt and slept like any other person. Finally after listening to multiple weak arguments until he could stand it no more, Yoda rapped his stick sharply against the floor.

"Dream I have had," He began tensely, "Of this girl child who a galaxy far in the future is from. Republic this galaxy knows nothing of and it seems the only defense against the dark side she is. Much suffering and loss I sense in her."

"Yes, Master Yoda." One of the younger Masters replied, "However I do not see how this affects us or why we should be involved. Nor do I see any reason for you to have had this dream."

"Then see not do you the importance of her?" Yoda demanded tersely.

"Importance?" He replied weakly.

"Important she is. Are Jedi not the defenders of peace in the galaxy? And is she not a defender of peace? Suffered she has. Alone she is. By mandate of her planets creator it is. Crumbling around her, her world is."

"Then that is her fault and problem as it's protector!" The foolish master shouted.

"Then was it also your fault and problem when padawan Sliren fell last year? Your responsibility she was."

"But… she ignored the rules an… and didn't do as I instructed." He bumbled.

"BECAUSE YOU WERE WRONG!" Yoda thundered fiercely, so fiercely in fact that it shocked more than a few of the assembled masters. "Padawan Sliren gave her life to make the mission a success and as her Mentor recognize that you should have."

By this time the unfortunate master was feeling much like a padawan being chastised and he much looked like it as well. Which would have been amusing if the situation wasn't so serious.

"This protector is in fault not for her world's destruction and during these troubling times her strength would be of much use to us."

Finally Mace Windu spoke after staying silent during most of the debate.

"And you wish for the council to create a portal using the force to retrieve her."

Yoda nodded and gazed at the rest of the council.

"I think it is a good idea." Mace declared to the shock of many. "If we don't like what we see we can always send her back after regaining our strength."

"But Master Windu!" Another foolhardy young master began, "We won't be able to tell what the target is doing while we transport her. She could be in the middle of a battle or worse bathing." He turned red.

"The risk we must take." Yoda replied after exchanging a glance with Windu that looked much like a silent 'You've got to be joking' look.

When more masters tried to argue Yoda finally rapped his stick down again harder this time to signal that the discussion was over the decision clearly made. The portal was to be summoned on the next full cycle of the capital planets' moon(s?).
