Chapter Four: Reluctant
Re-See opened his eyes and found himself in a medical lab, his head was bandaged with a bacta patch and he could hear voices outside. As the voices came nearer he quickly closed his eyes and used a technique he had learned to slow his breathing, making it look as if he were in a deep sleep, also to add to the effect he used the Force to hide his thoughts from those coming in. If they were to try and probe his mind they would find only blankness, if he absolutely had to he was also ready to use the Force to create a dream of sorts that they could read, if they tried testing him further. Re heard the door open to the lab and he listened carefully, a man was talking now, from his voice he sounded human.
"I don't care if he saved your life! He's no Padawan you can tell that can't you? He wielded a crimson blade for the Republic's sake! Only Sith and Dark Jedi use those!"
Next came a female voice, from the heavy accent it was no mistaking it as a Cathar. "Master Tarprin is right, he can be no mere Padawan; the skills he showed on the battlefield suggest other sorts of training."
Then Re heard the voice of the female Jedi who had fought beside him earlier. "With all due respect Master Tarprin and Master Slythor I checked his story, he's telling the truth, he and his Master are even in the databanks. Unless of course Masters your telling me the Sith or a Dark Jedi has broken into our records and changed them?" There was a long silence then the male spoke up again.
"Fine you've proven your point about his training but what about the lightsaber?"
The familiar voice of the woman responded quickly. "Tatooine is not known to have any natural lightsaber crystals of her own; perhaps his former Master gave it to him. Or maybe he found it in one of the squill caves; the possibilities are endless with that."
The Cathar's voice then broke in. "That is right, the possibilities are endless, so we have no reason not to rule out that he may be a Sith or Dark Jedi. Now do we Kaitlynn?"
Kaitlynn gave a frustrated sigh and spoke again. "When, in all the history of the Jedi, has a Sith or Dark Jedi ever rushed into battle to risk their life for a Jedi?" Another long pause came and the male gave a sigh.
"Fine, have it your way. But we'll be keeping an eye on him. If he shows any signs, even the slightest bit of being an enemy of the Jedi, kill him. The Jedi are just now pulling themselves together after the wars we've endured, we can't afford another."
The door opened and Re felt within the Force that the male had left, however Kaitlynn stayed as did the Cathar. After a long silence the Cathar spoke.
"When he awakens Jedi Sunfire, you may take him and go to Coruscant. But you are to put him through all the basic training, even if he says he's already had it. If he is a Sith or Dark Jedi perhaps we can turn him away from the Dark Side, but if you're sure he's not then I trust your judgment." The door opened again and Re was left with Kaitlynn.
He could feel her eyes on him, then she spoke softly. "They'll see wont they Re-See? You'll become one of the greats, I know you will." The door opened and Re was left alone again, he felt odd however at the words the woman had just spoken. He quickly pushed them aside and allowed himself to enter into a meditation, he needed to meditate on this new information he had gained.
