Jedi Training and Assignments
When she first came to the Temple she was afraid that everyone would feel sorry for her. Instead she found that many people were jealous at the fact that she had known her father. She had not forgotten what she had found out on that day but she hadn't told anyone. Yoda had given instructions to all those that knew not to correct her when she stated this.
Every Master in the Jedi Order would have done anything to make Andul their apprentice. Seeing this Yoda had made her his, the first since Count Dooku. Although he rarely left the temple now, Andul was sent on missions with both Master Windu and Qui-Gon. Even through her training being split between three masters her skills grew rapidly. If someone looked solely on her skills she would have been thought to be about as old as Obi-wan.
Even though Andul went on the occasional mission with him and lived at the temple she still rarely saw her friend. She thought that he pushed himself too much but while she trained with him she could see how much more he needed to improve.
At the moment she was waiting outside the council chambers. Master Yoda had requested to see her there but she did not know why it had to be while the council was in session. She knew that she was not ready for the trails, not emotionally anyways. Hearing Yoda call her from inside she entered the room. She immediately sensed the tension in the room and how the room was split on a decision.
"Andul, do you believe that you are ready for a mission?" Master Windu asked.
"Master, I have been going on missions since I was seven. I don't understand why you are asking this question." She replied.
"One of your own, my young padawon, is what Master Windu meant." Yoda stated in the voice that Andul knew meant that she was soon going to get into trouble.
"Oh… I believe I can handle it." She said and realized that she was so stupid.
"Well we have a hunch that a blockade and possibly an invasion may happen on the planet of Naboo. We want you to go disguised as a handmaiden to the Queen. They are selecting new ones soon and this may be the only time we can get someone on the inside. This means that you cannot let them know who you truly are, do you understand?" Windu clarified for her.
"Yes, when do I leave."
" Now a shuttle is waiting and there are clothes aboard for you to change into."
"Andul, contact will be limited, only every three weeks. No need to out yourself in any danger." Yoda said with a tone that he knew that she might try.
"Yes. Master."
Her first mission on her own. This was a surprising development. Not that she didn't appreciate it but after all she was only nine.
