Three moons were hanging above the planet but the tall storage units on either side of Juhani and the Scout hid any opportunity for light to enter. They moved down the dark alleyway, the silence stretching before them as they continued their journey.

Juhani's confidence was slowly being eroded as their steps were the only motion in the silent darkness. I need to re-activate my shield soon, this is my best opportunity. There is only a straight path for now, I will not lose him. Her eyes tried to cut through the darkness as she looked around for some thing to duck behind. They came to rest on a stack of crates sitting outside a unit only a short distance ahead.

Her pace slowed as they drew closer to the spot she had signaled out. I'm still not falling behind by much, did he slow his pace down too? She took a few more carefully timed steps while watching the Scout's feet. His left foot came down and she waited for the other to follow. Confusion was quickly replaced by awareness as his other foot refused to follow the pattern. Instead, his forward movement stopped and he quickly pivoted around.

Sparks flew from his fingertips, instantly lighting up the alley as they caught Juhani completely off guard. She heard the buzz and fizzle of her shield as it ceased to camouflage her form. She felt the pain shooting through her as the sky was once more brought back to daylight. Moving her hand to her lightsaber, she ignited it and brought it in front of her in one swift movement. Using both her hands to steady the saber, she held off the lightning as sweat began to drip down her face, despite the coolness of the planet.

His voice shattered through the crackle and hiss of their standoff, "Ah, I suspected it was you, but I am afraid I grow tired of your pursuit. You are here for answers, which I will gladly provide, but you must also answer a question for me." His outstretched hand fell back to his side, waiting to see if his invitation would be accepted.

The hiss of the lightsaber ended and he waited for it to be re-sheathed. It came to rest by her side but she made no further move. Wise, he thought before deciding to continue.

"There is a high bounty on Jedi these days. Not very smart of you to be using force powers."

"What have you done with the children?" she replied, ignoring his comment.

"I am afraid that answer I cannot give. Besides, you have not answered my question yet." An evil smirk escaped his lips, "Why is it you are here and not their mother?"

"You knew I was a Jedi and that I would follow you. Why did you take them?" she replied.

"Ah, but you have still not answered. Yes, I did expect a Jedi to follow. So I ask again, but my patience is thinning. Why is it you are here and not their Jedi mother?"

"I do not…"

"Think carefully before you answer me with a lie. I am well aware that Lord Revan is their mother."

He knows, oh force, that is why he took them. And he expected Revan to follow. "Lord Revan? Malak destroyed her years ago, she no longer exists."

"Are you sure? Actually I think it was the Jedi that destroyed her and Lord Malak who helped to bring her back."

Confusion careened down her face and he delighted in her puzzlement. "Lord Revan is returning, has she not told you that her memories are coming back?"

He watched as Juhani brought her lightsaber up in front her. "That is no way to get answers. Now, are you going to answer my question? This is the last time I will ask."

What do I do? Should I answer him? "You seem to know quite a lot already, why do you need me to answer your question?"

"True, I know more than you. Unfortunately, I am not aware of what happened after my," he paused, "sudden, departure from your company." His hand gestured out, giving her one last time to answer him.

"Revan will not turn back to the dark side. And the decision for me to come was the wisest."

A disappointed sigh escaped him, Oh but she will. "Wisest? Perhaps because she was bit … debilitated, at the time?

"You did something to her!" Laughter roared from his mouth at her accusation.

She continued, "But why, if you wanted her to follow?"

Composing himself he finally answered, "Haha, I never said I wanted her to follow. I simply asked you why she had not."

"I have answered your question." She shot back at him.

"Not really, but I will appease you, a bit."

A smirk escaped his lips as he gathered his thoughts, deciding how much to tell the Cathar. "My Lord Malak gave Revan a final gift on the Star Forge. He knew she had great plans but she did not share them with anyone. The Jedi gave him a chance to discover them when they erased her memory. He is the reason for her returning memories."

A pause in the conversation gave Juhani time to register the information in her mind.

"A simple implant, a mind restorative implant that he injected into her on the Star Forge, has been slowly knitting her memories back together."

Masking her shock, Juhani lowered her arms, bringing her lightsaber to rest once more by her side.

"It has taken longer than expected, but now I have proof that it is definitely working" His eyes lit up, showing his growing excitement, "In unforeseen ways!" His face flashed as he fought to hold himself back from revealing any further information about the implant.

"Lord Revan will indeed return and her children will be waiting for her when she does." Confidence radiated from his words, "That is the only way she will be able to see them again."

Juhani's body flew back as he sent her flying with a force push before leaving her hovering in a stasis field. "And now, I must go," he replied while slipping away with the aide of his force stealth ability.
