Leila and Obi Wan spent about an hour wandering the Temple halls and talking but then they parted and Obi Wan went to his room to clean up.
Leila went in search of her Father but was found by Mace Windu.
"Leila."
She turned and bowed. "Master Windu."
"I have a short mission I need for you to do for me."
"Certainly," said Leila.
"The Supreme Chancellor had some records for me and I can not go and get them right now. But I need them."
She smiled. "I would be happy to go and get them for you," said Leila.
Mace smiled. "Thank you, Leila."
She was still on the steps of the Temple, waiting for her speeder, when there was a knock on Obi Wan's door. He opened it and saw Docent Vant. She handed him a data pad.
He took it slowly and read it. His face went pale with shock. The data pad told him that he would ship out of the Temple in the morning. He was to pack his bags. He was to report to the world of Bandomeer on the Galactic Rim, where he would join the Agricultural Corps.
"But I don't understand," said Obi Wan. "I still have four weeks till my birthday."
"I know," said Docent. "But your ship, the Monument, leaves tomorrow with a thousand miners aboard. It can't wait just because you have a birthday."
Obi Wan's shock and despair almost made him sick. He looked up at Docent. "But tomorrow Qui Gon Jinn will be looking for a Padawan. Master Yoda said that I should fight for him."
Docent Vant shook her head,. "That was before the Masters heard of the beating you gave to Bruck. Did you really think the healers would not tell what you had done?"
