Okay, I know I'm not supposed to do this and I apologize, but I have already replied to many of your reviews and wanted to update you! I am in the process of consulting with my beta reader to help me put one of the characters back in character. She made major changes that won't work with Chapter 4, and so I'm going to type that up and send it to her, to see what we can cook up between us! Thank you all so much for your patience! Hopefully by the end of the month I will have both Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 up, then once Chapter 5 is finished I will be taking a short break to write Chapter 6 of my other story, Jedi Apprentice: The War for Peace. (And no, that is NOT oxymoronic! Sometimes, though I hate to have to say this, war is necessary to gain peace.) I thank you for your loyal support and I'm hoping to get at least 15 chapters on this story, just so you know… and I will add the first part of Chapter 3, which has already been approved, so that I am not breaking rules! Thoughts are in bold and remember that italics in quotes mean they are speaking through the Force!

"Master, I will be leaving tomorrow," Obi-Wan told his Master later that day.

"On a mission? To where, and with whom?" Qui-Gon inquired, surprised.

"Master Windu, Master Gallia, and Siri will accompany me to Bandyniidor to search for a cure." He paused, measuring out his words. "What's wrong?" he asked concernedly, as his Master's body jerked upon hearing the planet's name.

"Obi-Wan, I have had a vision… just be careful. Do not let anger or fear for my life cloud your judgment," Qui-Gon warned his apprentice.

"I'll be careful, Master Qui-Gon, I promise," he assured his Master.

"Good, now, please go get Master Windu and Master Yoda. I wish to speak with them."

"Yes, Master, in a moment. I want to do something first." Qui-Gon was about to reprimand him, but stopped as he felt him gather the healing graces of the Force around him. When Obi-Wan had built up the energies as much as he could, he directed them toward Qui-Gon. The Jedi Knight felt a warmth invade his body, and as it settled, he realized he really did feel much better. 'But why didn't that work when the medic tried it?' Qui-Gon asked himself, a little surprised, but pushed his emotions to the side.

"Thank you, my Padawan. Now, please, do as I asked."

"Yes, Qui-Gon." Obi-Wan got up and walked out.
