The two Jedi made there way through Coruscant in a LAAT Gunship, with the help of a few clone pilots. Moss sat on the edge of the open side of the ship letting the wind blow through his cream colored fur and thinking. Andrew Kai came up from behind him, "What are you thinking about?" As if he didn't already know.
"My vision, Master. I can't figure it out," answer Moss. He turned to face his master. "Have you figured it out?"
"Moss," he said, placing a hand on his shoulder, "To dwell on the past makes you ignorant of the present. But, no, I have given any kind of thought to your dream."
"But Master, my vision was about the future, not the past," said Moss.
"Maybe so, Moss, but it happened in the past. Soon, we will meet this Orn Tenel, and soon we will realize his true intentions." Andrew gave his apprentice his hand to help him stand up. Moss took it, stood up, and straightened out his tunic.
A clone pilot turned around and announced that they were about to arrive. Andrew Kai acknowledged it and turned to his apprentice again, "You must have patience. Things happen fast, but not as fast as we would like sometimes." Both Andrew Kai and Moss Plot' ki gripped the bar near the ceiling of the vehicle for support as they made their descent towards the docking bay.
When they landed the two of them jumped off and walked toward the Republic Attack Cruiser. "It's huge," observed Moss. Andrew just nodded. They made their way past hasty clone troopers, on their way to their own assignments.
The two Jedi tried to find the boarding ramp. They walked the length of the massive ship twice before finding it. Moss was out of breath and so was Andrew Kai. When they entered the ship they were greeted by the clone commander. "Hello sir," said the clone commander. "I am Clone Commander Calvin. I am leading the garrison of troops that have been chosen to aid you on your mission."
"Great," said Andrew. "I am Jedi Master Andrew Kai and this is my apprentice, Moss Plot' ki. When we are in hyperspace is when we will plan. But now, how about my apprentice and I get some rest. We walked around the entire ship before we got here."
"I am afraid that is not possible, sir," said the Clone Commander Calvin.
"Why not?" asked Andrew.
"The inspection of the droid gunships is taking place now. You must be present. This way, sir." Andrew heard Moss grunt before following the clone commander. The three of them passed many taciturn clone troopers that respectfully acknowledged the Jedi's presence with a salute on the way to the hangar. And for some reason, Andrew thought the trip there would have been longer than it really was.
They got to the hangar, where four dark blue droid gunships rested, scanning teams buzzing busily by with high tech equipment. "So what exactly are we supposed to be doing?" asked Moss.
But before the clone commander could answer, a scanning team came up to them and said, "Sir, we are ready to begin the inspection."
"Then begin," said Clone Commander Calvin. He turned to the Jedi, "Basically, you are just supposed to watch." Andrew nodded and watched the scanning teams with carts of scanning equipment file into the each of the gunships. For most of the inspection, it had been quiet with the usual background noise of the city going on. It had also been very boring, except when a man came running out of on of the gunships.
"What is it?" asked Clone Commander Calvin.
The man had to catch his breath before talking. "Sir, we have detected an explosive aboard Gunship 480." Andrew looked at the indicated gunship. It was the ship farthest from them. He could feel panic and fear aboard through the Force. The man continued, "We are checking it out now, and doing our very best not to detonate it."
"Well of course it has explosives on it!" exploded Moss. "It is a gunship; its primary function is to destroy all it can before being shot out of the sky. The only weapon it has is missiles." Andrew put a hand on Moss' shoulder, indicating it was time to stop. Moss backed off.
Moments later, reprimanding voices started shouting from Gunship 480 and then the gunship exploded. First the blast started from the disk-like rear of the ship, then, in a blink of an eye, swallowed the cockpit. The people in the ship at the time were blown through out the hangar. There were no survivors.
People that were walking around rushed to the blown up ship to try and look for somebody that was injured, but found none that were alive. A clean up crew and the Coruscant Fire Fighters showed up to take care of the wreckage. Soon after, a few people came out of each gunship and reported that the rest were OK. Clone Commander Calvin turned to the Jedi after the last scanning team reported in, "Now you can rest. I will get someone to show you where an available room is."
