Anakin entered the Jedi library silently. Being three in the morning the place was completely deserted save for the librarian. The old man was spread across his desk, snoring gently. Anakin crept silently round the side of the desk and, keeping a watchful eye on the old man, entered the classified areas of the computer.

"Shit!" Anakin breathed as it asked for a hand scan.

He used the force to gently lift the old man's hand and place it in the scanner. After a series of loud bleeps, Anakin was in the confidential files of every Jedi in the temple.

A small search icon box appeared were Anakin typed in 'Astrid Drew'. There was a pause before Astrid's file appeared. It showed a picture of her smiling sweetly at the camera along with other information.

"From the planet Callaccattumalah, or informally Malah, in the Coras system." Anakin read out quietly. "Malah, a completely rainforest planet, is home to the reptile-human like species, the Slarra's…"

The old man suddenly grumbled but stayed sleeping.

Anakin took a deep breath before continuing to read Astrid's personal information. "Full name Astrid Nyoka Cora Aloha Ciara Drew… Species: Slarra… 16 years of age… will be assigned to Master Yoda…" Anakin suddenly stopped reading. His attention had fallen on an option that said 'Confidential material, for the use of council member's only'. Anakin selected the icon but another password option for a hand scan appeared.

Sighing with frustration, he realised that he was on the council so surely he could access these files so he put his hand into the scanner. A red light suddenly flashed and a piecing siren wailed from the computer. The old man yelled and, in his confusion, fell to the floor. Anakin quickly withdrew his hand and started running for the exit. The old man yelled after him and attempted to follow but Anakin was too fast.

Within minutes he was running down the silent hallway to his room. He flung the door open and ran into his bedroom, collapsing exhausted on his bed. With his heart pounding in his chest and his breathing heavy from his non-stop run, he scrambled out of his clothes… but not in time.

"ANAKIN!" Obi-Wan yelled as he banged his fists on the locked door. "OPEN THE DOOR!"

Anakin ignored his Master and finished getting changed.

"Anakin! Open this door now! What the hell are you doing, charging round the temple at this time of night? Anakin, I need answers!"

Anakin cursed himself. He'd completely forgotten that he shared with rooms his Master and also the fact that if he was woken up suddenly, he'd get very moody. Anakin was just surprised he hadn't knocked the door down yet.

"Anakin." His Master was calming down but he wasn't going to talk to him. He'd get found out. "Anakin do you know what time it is? Listen I'm going back to bed but we're continuing this conversation in the morning."

Anakin knew his was far too tiered to inquire as to where he was but he knew he'd have to talk to him eventually. At least now he had time to make up an alibi.

Anakin hung his head as he stood before the council. They'd somehow found out about him trying to hack into Jedi computer system and were currently giving him the lecture of his life.

"Explain yourself, you shall. Why, young padawan?" Master Yoda said severely.

"I don't know." Anakin said quietly. It wasn't a lie, he wasn't quite sure why he'd done it but the fact that he'd be punished remained.

"No excuse, that is! A punishment, you shall receive. Put padawan Astrid's life in danger, you may have."

"I'm sorry Master." Anakin said with a heavy feeling of guilt resting on him.

"Disappointed in you, I am. Leave us now, you shall."

Anakin turned and left the council room, he knew he'd disappointed his Master's but there was nothing he could do about it now.
