Dark Legacy 7

It was still early in the morning on Ossus when Mara received the message. It was from Enitaplap. Apparently, he wished to meet again with Mara sooner rather than later. Furthermore, he wished to meet with her later today, if she was available. Unfortunately, Mara was available. She sent back the reply message, saying she would be more than happy to meet with him. She was surprised when he responded to the message himself, soon after Mara sent it.

"Greetings, Master Skywalker," Enitaplap said, bowing slightly toward Mara. The blue hologram flickered slightly as he did so.

"Greetings, to you to, President Enitaplap." Mara returned the bow.

"I am sorry to contact you so early, but I have been talking to D'rasi Ennasy and Allad N'warth, and they both are very interested in speaking with you. I too, am looking forward to discussing more with you about the Galactic Alliance."

"And I look forward to speaking with you, as well." Mara said.

"You responded you will make a return visit here. Is that correct?"

Unfortunately. "Yes, President Enitaplap, that is true. If you just specify the exact time you would want me, I will come."

"Master Skywalker, please do not feel pressured to come," Enitaplap said, as if sensing Mara's reluctance. "I only wish what is best for you and the Galactic Alliance. After all, not only do the people of the Obrim system need further convincing to return to the Alliance, but I am sure the Alliance needs convincing that we should return as well."

For a moment, Mara sensed a faint flicker of doubt in the Force, but then it was gone. "The Galactic Alliance is still expecting your systems return, and looking forward to it. There is much that we can benefit from one another."

"That is true," Enitaplap said. "And I am looking forward to the system's return as well, though Lord Allad N'warth and D'rasi Ennasy may still need convincing. That is why it is crucial that you come as soon as you can. That, and that I wish to speak with you more of the Jedi."

"Of course." Mara said. "When should I arrive?"

Moments later, Mara was in her ship, and blasting off on her return to trip to the Obrim system.
