"What? Attack?! Who are you talking to?"

** 3PO! **

"Master Luke. Oh, it's you. I'm here. I was just going to start my recording - - - "

** Never mind that! R2 shut down all the generators on the Archive level! Shut down all the generators on the Archive level! **

"Oh! Oh! R2 shut them down! Shut them all down!"

= = = fdee-bee-fdibifdibi fzzzzzzzt! = = =

"Oh! Oh, what happened? I just here starting my recording and then all of this is happening! What could be going on?!"

** Aaaah!! Ha-ha ha-ha-ha! **

"Oh, Master Luke?! Are you alright? So many strange things have been happening here and - - -"

** Never mind that! Is Ayzhur there yet? **

"Oh, uh. . . Oh! Yes, he's just arrived."

"Luke?"

** R2 got everything shut down in time, and we've sealed the Archives. **

"All right. I've got the front. . . . . . . the landing platforms. . . . . . .the roof. . . . . . . . OK all the manuals are shut down. No exits. They won't get out. . . . . . . . . . . . ungh. This place can really be a death trap when it needs to be."

** What? **

"I said the Temple is sealed. Nobody's getting out. . . . . . . . nobody."

** That's great. We're moving in. **

"Fine. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

"Um. . . . Master Ayzher. I don't mean to intrude, but could you tell me what is going on. R2 has been ranting about us being attacked."

= = = Bbbzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaattttt = = =

"No. . . . not attacked. Not exactly. More like . . . . robbed. Should be Jedi Cop's moment. The Force brings the strangest events together."

"Robbed? But who would want to come in and rob the Jedi Temple. We don't really have anything of value."

"Not unless you're a Jedi. Or want to be. . . . . . . . Some of the newer recruits were a little impatient with how fast they were learning and tried to stage a little - - no, a big distraction. So they could try to get past the sealed data in the Archives while everyone was busy with the emergency."

"Oh, dear. I presume that was the attack R2 was so excited about?"

= = = Whoom-eet-eebeebeebee - mmmaazt = = =

"Attack? No. They just set fire to a storage unit. That was next to one of the generators. That was linked to all the other generators that we were running the Archives from. Which were running at full power because Timbo wanted to see if he could activate some of the old links to the rest of the Temple. Most of which gave us feedback and a power surge because most of those connections were fried when the Temple was purged. . . . .

"Horne and what he thinks of as his security team have them cornered and he demanded that we ensure that they not get out of the Temple. And he's enjoying this far too much."

"Oh, dear. I am certainly glad that we were able to avert the disaster. It's taken so much effort to retrieve that data. But . . . . I don't really understand what happened here. I was just beginning my recording and then suddenly R2 came in. Master Luke could have commed me. That would have been much faster than sending R2."

"That would have only worked if you had been active at the time. One of the would-be robbers came up here to tie up the coms and make sure we didn't put out the fire too soon."

"Really? I assure you that I would have seen anyone coming in here."

"A Jedi, even an Initiate, can shut off a droid as easily as opening a door."

"What? I certainly would ha - - - "

". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Aaaaaaaah. That's better. . . . . . . . .

"Master Luke told me that his father built this protocol droid from spare parts when he was a kid. I don't know where he found the personality programming. . . . .

". . . . . . . . . . . in fact Anakin Skywalker was supposed to have been younger than you are. When he started his training. . . . . .

". . . . . . . . . . . Aaaaaah, there you are. Your name is . . . . Flomasu, I think. You're one of the newer ones."

"How did you know I was here?"

"A Jedi is aware enough in the Force to know when someone is hiding in the room. And where. You hid when the astromech came in. . . . . . . ?"

". . . . . Am I in a lot of trouble?"

"Yes. I think you are. Though I think your friends, the ones who set the fire, will be feeling Horne's wrath sooner than you."

"We just wanted to look."

"And we are?"

"Um, Yumi and Clayun Bix, and P'furis and Vire. Vire's been helping in the Archive and he said there was a whole lot of really important stuff that was being kept from us."

"Aaaaaah, all newcomers. It is true that there is much for you to learn, young one. . . . . . . . . It's too soon to leave."

"Hey! Open the door!"

"If I did that, then I would be in trouble. Much better for it to be you than me. . . . ."

"Hey! That's mine!"

"A Jedi has no possessions. And we can't have you cutting through that door with a lightsaber. That's so crude."

"Why? You won't fight! Unnnnggghhh!"

"But the Force seems to be with me anyway. I think it's best that you stay on that side of the room. And the lightsaber stays over here. Until the others come."

"Aaaauuuggghh!!. . . . . . . . . .Unnnnghhhhh!!. . . . . . . Let me out. . . . . . you want to Let Me Out."

"Are you trying to influence my mind? I'd ask you who taught you, but it's obvious that you haven't been trained in it at all. It's really not something you can pick up without someone showing you. Have you been looking at those Old Republic holos?"

"Let Me Out!"

"No. And it is time for you sit down quietly and wait until the others are ready for you."

"I'll sit down now."

"Over there by the wall will be fine."

"Over here by the wall."

". . . . . . . . . . And you can't learn about influencing minds by receiving it either."
