The Council's Conversation

"Bonds are forbidden in Jedi terms the code clearly states," Master Yoda said.

"And be code terms it is said that Skywalker should be expelled from the Jedi order," Master Windu added.

"You forget master that if I am correct, Anakin was at a crossroad when he made a choice, he could have killed you Mace," said Obi-Wan through the force. Mace Windu pondered at this.

"I am not a position to make a conclusion at the moment," said Windu.

"Then will I, Skywalker for your duties concerning Palpatine, remain in the Jedi Order you will," said Yoda," and for choosing the correct path, master we appoint you."

"Thank you Master Yoda, but I believe that we must discuss more pressing matters," Anakin said to Windu," like what was the council's reaction to you informing them master."

"They immediately called for a formal vote, for a reelection," Windu answered.

"And concerning General Grievous and the Separatists?" asked Shaak Ti.

"Grievous has fled Utapau, we believe he could be heading to the planet of Kalee," said Ki-Adi-Mundi.

"I hear that the Separatists leaders are on Mustafar," said Anakin.

"Improving in his skills Grievous is, might not be long before Force sensitive he becomes," said Yoda.

"How can that be?" asked Aalya Secura.

"What remains of his blood stream is rich with midi-chlorian, with a little practice he might become skilled," said Kit Fisto.

"What of Dooku?" asked Master Kloon.

"He will be kept in prison longer until he is interrogated by us personally," said Windu.

"Should we send troops after Grievous?" asked Anakin.

"Grievous is being escorted by a small army of droids, I have my doubts that they will put up a fight against an army and the general himself," said Master Tiiin.

"The Separatists are to be arrested and placed under careful watch," said Master Rancisis," their doings will be handled in the Senate."

"Who will be the one to handle the capturing of the Separatists?" asked Master Tiiin.

"I suggest we send troops to apprehend them," said Master Piell.

"I am against that," stated Master Skywalker.

Windu frowned. "Why is that?" he asked.

"The clones were loyal primarily to the Chancellor, learning about the Chancellor's death could spark a revolt among the commanders," answered Master Skywalker," so they should be kept under close watch for now."

"Good advice that is Skywalker," said Master Yoda," careful with the clones we must be."

"I will apprehend the Separatists personally," said Master Skywalker.

"Very well, then that matter has been addressed," said Windu," Grievous shall be dealt with later, and we will interrogate Count Dooku soon."
