A/N: Another chapter! As usual I don't own anything except the OCs and the grammar and spelling could be shit, who knows :)

Chapter 6: Different Frequencies.

As the meal started to wound down Satara approached Obi-Wan and asked if he wanted to contact their people now or if he wanted to wait.

"I'm done eating so now works for me." He smiled and stood. "Cody you coming with me or staying here?"

"I'll come with you." Cody looked uncertain of what he should to with Garnapa who was still asleep in his arms.

"Here, I'll take Garnapa." Solan smiled and took the child who grumbled a little but settled pretty quickly again. "She was up all night trying to sneak out to the Simboln."

Satara showed them to a room which looked a lot like a communication center on ship except it was a lot of technology that they couldn't recognize. Satara turned to leave but a hand on her shoulder stopped her.

"Can you stay? If we have questions or something, we would appreciate it if you could stay and answer them." Obi-Wan asked of her.

"Of course." Satara smiled and went to stand on Obi-Wan right side as the com connected.

"Master Obi-Wan!" Anakin called out relived.

"Anakin? What are you doing on the Negotiator?" Obi-Wan was slightly shocked.

"When the Negotiator lost contact with you nine days ago, they called to the council and they sent the 501st to assist, we just arrived an hour ago." Anakin explained.

"Nine days ago? We've only been on Astoria, the planet, for three maybe four days." Obo sounded perplexed.

"You are both correct." Satara stepped forward. "Every year we have a phenomenon that makes it so time moves differently on Astoria than the rest of the universe."

"Really? Wonder how that happens." Obi-Wan murmured.

"General." Cody reminded Obi-Wan.

"Oh right, not the time. Anakin, Captain Rex this is Satara, the leader of the Astorians and the person who saved our lives." He indicated to Satara who nodded her head at them.

"I only saved Oddball, the rest of you would have been fine." Satara gave a small teasing smile at Obi-Wan.

"Don't think we didn't notice that after you healed Oddball the rest of us where fine to. I distinctively remember my sternum shifting in my chest in ways it shouldn't before the ritual." Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow but Satara did nothing more than smile.

"If you saved my brothers and the General then we are in your debt." Captain Rex informed her.

"As I told Obi-Wan and your vod, healing is a privilege and honor." Satara declared and the tone she used indicated that that topic of conversation was over.

"Can you give us your coordinates so we can come get you?" Anakin asked Obi-Wan.

"Sadly, that won't work." Satara began.

"Are you keeping our people hostage?!" Anakins demand interrupted what Satara was going to say.

"Anakin!" Obi-Wan reprimanded.

"No, we are not going to keep your people hostage but your ships are not built to withstand the magnetic pull of the planet." Satara patiently explained. "Which is why your people crashed in the first place."

"Sorry for accusing you." Anakin mumbled.

"It's fine and I understand why you did." Satara inclined her head at Anakin.

"Excuse me for interrupting but how are we going to get our people of your planet if we can't come down and get them?" Captain Rex queried.

"You don't think we have developed ships and technology that works on our own planet?" Satara smirked.

"Oh I didn't mean to imply…" Rex stuttered.

"I'm teasing you, Captain Rex." She smiled. "We can have a shuttle ready to depart tomorrow evening if that works for you? That would be, with the time difference, either this evening or very early tomorrow morning for you."

"Yes, that's fine." Rex said quickly. "How many of your people should we expect?"

"Just the pilot and the copilot." Satara chuckled.

"I have a question." A voice piped up and Ashoka stepped into sight. "How come we just discovered your planet?"

"That's a good question Snips." Anakin nodded.

"The Mikoda surrounds Astoria so completely that it makes our planet vibrate at a different frequency than the rest of the universe. Every 1500 it comes to its apex and it starts to vibrate at the same frequency as the rest of the universe, but only for around 20 days." Satara explained. "Six days from now the planet will disappear again."

"Mikoda?" Anakin, Ashoka and Rex asked at the same time.

"The Force." Obi-Wan said. "That would also explain the readings we have of the planet."

"Thank you for answering my question." Ashoka smiled so her fangs showed and was pleasantly surprised when Sataras smiled showed fangs back.

"I shall contact the council and tell them what's been going on. It was an honor meeting you Satara." Anakin bowed as did Rex and Ashoka.

"The honor is mine, young ones." Satara bowed back.

"We'll see you and the rest of the missing 212th tomorrow evening, Master." Anakin smiled at Obi-Wan. "May the Force be with you."

"And with you, always." Obi-Wan smiled back.

Before Obi-Wan and Cody could even think about doing anything more Satara turned to them with an odd look in her eyes.

"If you or the others wanted to stay, we would welcome you." She hesitantly offered.

"That's a tempting offer but I can't." Obi-Wan said slowly. "I have a responsibility to my men, to the Jedi and to the Republic."

"Were Obi-Wan goes I go." Cody took Obi-Wans hand in his.

"I will, of course, pass on the offer to the others." Obi-Wan assured.

"As long as you know that the offer is there." Satara smiled and before she left told them, "You are allowed to explore to your hearts content but if you leave the border of Caldaras be sure to take someone with you."

"We should inform the others of what happened here and of the offer to stay, but afterwards would you like to take a walk with me?" Obi-Wan asked shyly.

"I would love to cyar'ika." Cody kissed him softly.

After they had collected the others and returned to their room, they informed them of what had happened and of the offer to stay.

"I won't be mad or disappointed if anyone of you wanted to stay. And before you say anything about desertion, we could always say that you died from injuries sustained in the crash." Obi-Wan informed them with kindness in his eyes.

"That's very kind of you General, but I can't leave my brothers to fight while I live in peace with them thinking I'm dead." Crys stated strongly.

"Crys is right." Waxer agreed with the others nodded. "But knowing that you would let us choose and actually lie to keep us safe makes me feel truly honored to have you as my General."

This somehow ended up in a group hug that looked a lot like a puppy pile with Obi-Wan at the very bottom of the pile.

"Get of me you weirdoes." He laughed. "I was going to take a walk with Cody."

They slowly got of him and Cody helped him up.

"Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do." Waxer laughed.

"That leaves a lot for them to be able to do." Boil sniggered.

Cody and Obi-Wan walked hand in hand as they explored the place, they had found themselves in. They just walked, talked and enjoyed each other's company.

They had been walking for up to two hours when they stumbled upon a small garden with a bench in the middle by a small pond. Obi-Wan pulled Cody towards the bench and sat down leaning against Cody and putting his head on Codys shoulder.

Ad they sat there in silence and watched the bright green and purple bird like creatures fly around their heads they didn't notice someone observing them from a dark corner of the garden. They were to absorbed in each other and the calm all around them.
