Location- Jedi Temple
Time- 10 AM
The Republic watched helplessly as the worlds of Onderon, Telos, Tatooine, Dantooine and Nar Shaada were burned and bombed to oblivion. People fled to refuges from the Outer Rim fearing where their feared enemy Darth Bane would strike next. The threat was growing and the Jedi could not ignore it any longer. The Senate pleaded to them for help, Chancellor Vallorum had come to them on bended knee begging for their aid. The Council was still divided though. A number of their own had fled and joined Darth Bane. They had been tempted by the lure of the darkside, the thoughts of power and glory had been to much for them and they had fallen.But they were still cautious about going against Bane, not because of fear, but they knew what consequences could come from war. There would be those who would die in battle, but there would be others who would be consumed by battle and fall to the darkside for lust of blood and battle.
With the destruction of six worlds the Council knew that something must be done. Trija's master had come up with a plan to get rid of the Sith threat without killing Qui-Gon bring him before the Jedi council. Trija knew Obi-Wan would like the idea. If there was even a small chance of bringing Qui-Gon back to the light Obi-Wan would be for it. A squadron of Jedi Knights were brought before the Council. Trija and Obi-Wan were to head the mission. Every Jedi that was to be sent was strong and capable and most in the prime of their life.Mace was the one who would explain the plan.
"Alright everybody you've been chosen to go aboard this extremely dangerous mission. Your objective is to bring Qui-Gon Jinn back alive. We need him for the information he has, we need to know where all these troops are coming from. Trija Voss and Obi-Wan Kenobi shall lead the mission. We will ure the Sith fleet into a false attack. Trija shall use her Battle Meditation and you all will board the Sith flagship. Once inside you will head to the bridge and capture Qui-Gon. The Republic fleet can offer a diversion for only a short period of time time will be of the essence. If we fail, then the consequences shall be dire. You know what you must do. May the Force be with you." With that they were dismissed to prepare for their upcoming mission. Mace looked at them, a tear forming in the corner of his eye.
"Stay alive Oi-Wan, please, don't die."
